After the old case was settled, everyone was finally exposed to the vigorous and resolute actions of this young judge in Kaifeng Mansion. Master Wu Zhi's reputation suddenly spread throughout the capital, and Wu Zhi was nicknamed "Young Wu Qingtian", and people started to pay attention to him.
Comparing him with Master Bao Zheng of Renzong Dynasty made Cai Jing, the instigator, very embarrassed and unhappy.
When Wu Zhi heard that he had been given the title of "Young Wu Qingtian" again, he smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously, and just focused on doing his own thing.
In order to settle these old and backlogged cases, Wu Zhi spent thousands of dollars from his own pocket! This made him very distressed, but thinking about doing something practical and good for the people, he felt relieved.
The power should be taken from the people and used by the people. His wine business can make back the expenditure within two days.
In June, the fire clouds dispersed, and the cicadas chirped on the treetops. In the blink of an eye, June came quietly again, with the scorching sun and cicadas chirping.
After May of the fifth year of Shaosheng, the official Zhao Xu continued to meditate and practice boxing. His body became stronger and stronger, and his energy and energy were much better than before. He was so happy that he changed the title of his reign to "Shaosheng".
"Yuan Fu" means great auspiciousness! Zhao Xu hopes that in the "Yuan Fu" era, the country will be rich and the people are strong, and the Song Dynasty will become more powerful and prosperous, sweeping away the wilderness, and ZTE is expected to be revived. Zhao Xu also hopes that his own civil rule
The martial arts ability has reached a new level, truly shaking the past and present, surpassing the ancestors of all dynasties.
On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month in the first year of Yuanfu, the annual Tiankuang Festival came again. As usual, the court took a day off for a day off, and the capital was once again a lively scene of jubilation and celebration.
It was rare for Wu Zhi to have such a leisurely day. He took Jinlian, Xiao'e, Liu Yue, Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo, Si Fangguo and others to visit Daxiangguo Temple again, and burned incense together for Jinlian, Liu Yue, and others.
Li Zhenguo, Si Fangguo and other relatives who are thousands of miles away pray for blessings.
In order to reassure Li Zhenguo and Si Fangguo, after Wu Zhi finished handling the backlog of old cases, he sent four capable and capable water transport company employees, driving two carriages, and rushed all the way to Li Zhenguo with letters written by Li Zhenguo himself.
Langzhong of the southern country went to pick up Li Zhenguo's parents and sister. This made Li Zhenguo and Si Fangguo very grateful.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the sales of Zhuangyuan series wines were booming in Zhuangyuanlou. The average daily sales limit was raised to 100 bottles, 60 bottles of "Zhuangyuanchun" wine and 40 bottles of "Zhuangyuanlang" wine. In more than five months, the Zhuangyuan series
Liquor brought Wu Zhi a net income of nearly 530,000 yuan!
After four months of unremitting efforts, Wu Zhi also established a firm foothold in Kaifeng Mansion and established his own authority, so that his officials no longer dared to look down on his youth. Although they could not speak of absolute obedience,
At least I don't dare to go against my will.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Wu Zhi turned twenty. After Wu Xiu and Feng Niang held a simple coming-of-age ceremony for him, he was considered an adult. For this reason, Wu Zhi gave himself a name, called
"For it" is taken from the phrase "to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry on the unique knowledge of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations."
After becoming an adult, it means that he can get married and have children, but Wu Zhi does not want to get married and have children early. He still has many important things to do, and now is not the best opportunity to get married. Moreover, Wu Zhi has received a good education.
A man who marries a woman at the age of 20 is too young and premature, and he is not mentally prepared for this.
When he explained his thoughts clearly to Wu Xiu, Feng Niang and Jin Lian, Wu Xiu and Feng Niang had no choice but to understand, while Jin Lian understood with shyness.
The girl changed her age to eighteen, and the eighteen-year-old Jin Lian became even more graceful and charming, as delicate as a flower. Her eyes always looked at Wu Zhi with tenderness and affection. Every time Wu Zhi saw her or the two of them were alone, her heart was swaying and she felt relaxed and happy.
, but he is quite determined and can always control himself in the fluctuations of body and mind. Except for some hugging and holding hands, he has never violated the rules and regulations. Wu Zhi doesn't want to be Liu Xiahui, but he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.
It offends the beauty.
Since Jin Lian came to the capital to live with Wu Zhi's family in Enzhou, she has regarded herself as Wu Zhi's woman and willingly followed Wu Zhi to advance and retreat together. However, she is also a more traditional and reserved girl. She usually holds hands and hugs Wu Zhi.
Her intimate actions made her feel embarrassed and timid. Apart from being emotional and excited, she also felt that she had to wait until she got married before she could hand over her more precious things to the other person.
Therefore, she was relieved when she heard Wu Zhi's explanation, because she could deeply understand that Wu Zhi's affection for her was real. Even if she got married later, she would be dependent on him in her life anyway, until her death.
Unswerving.
After being demoted from the capital, being intercepted and killed in Zhuxian Town, and then being made things difficult for him when he returned to the capital, Wu Zhi knew that his strength was still too weak, and he was always in the disadvantageous position of being passively beaten. He was determined to
The only way to reverse this situation is to take the initiative!
Therefore, since Li Hongyi, Zhang Xing and Hu Kui led 20 men to the capital to serve Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi took the opportunity to leave them all in the capital. Headed by Li Hongyi, he established a group called "Hongyi" in a rented house.
It is a secret spy agency of the "Society". After simple training, it specializes in spying on intelligence and other tasks, and directly serves Wu Zhi.
For this reason, taking advantage of the opportunity of various wealthy families to hire servants, Wu Zhi placed several seemingly honest but clever subordinates in the houses of Cai Jing, Cai Bian, Xiang Zonghui, Duan Wang, Shen Wang, Zhang Chun and others.
On the other hand, help him inquire about the movements of these people and important family members, and then pass the news to the location of "Hongyi Society". Other personnel went to important departments and places inside and outside the capital to inquire about the information, and also reported to "Hongyi Society"
The information obtained was compiled and summarized by specialized personnel, and then directly submitted to Wu Zhi for review by Li Hongyi, Zhang Xing or Hu Kui.
Li Hongyi, Zhang Xing, Hu Kui and others were quite curious about what Wu Zhi was doing, but they were eager to try it and were very interested.
In addition to the basic salary of ten guan per month from the water transport company (the basic salary of Li Hongyi, Zhang Xing and Hu Kui is 30 guan per month), Wu Zhi also gave each of them six guan as supplement every month.
This made everyone overjoyed and won the hearts of the people.
Wu Zhi needs to grasp the movements of the court, and also needs to grasp the movements of certain ministers and royal families in the court, especially the movements of Cai Jing, Cai Bian, Xiang Zonghui, Xiang Huaiyu and Duan Wang Zhao Ji. These people are all his
The enemy is also the one he needs to deal with.
Originally, Wu Zhi didn't want to provoke the Xiang family, and more trouble would be better than less trouble, but Xiang Huaiyu jumped out for no good reason and not only molested Jin Lian, but also hired murderers. This gave Wu Zhi another enemy, and he also
He became Wu Zhi’s primary target for elimination.
Cai Jing also jumped out inexplicably first and took the initiative to fire at Wu Zhi, which made Wu Zhi a little confused. Because in addition to Xiang Jia, Cai Jing, Cai Bian, Duan Wang Zhao Ji, Tong Guan, Gao
People like Qiu and others are just Wu Zhi's subconscious enemies. So far, Wu Zhi has not shown any hostility towards these people. Logically speaking, Cai Jing should have no reason to deal with him first.
But what Wu Zhi didn't expect was that Cai Jing actually jumped out for a reason.
Originally, more than four months after returning to the capital, Wu Zhi was still wondering why the Xiang family seemed to have changed their gender and there was no movement at all. In fact, it was not the case. Although Xiang Zonghui and Xiang Huaiyu restrained themselves a little after being warned by the Empress Dowager Xiang.
, but he was still unwilling to accept it, so he approached Cai Jing and asked Cai Jing to set up obstacles for Wu Zhi in Kaifeng Mansion and try every means to prevent Wu Zhi from gaining a foothold in Kaifeng Mansion. Cai Jing was jealous of talents and talents, and also hindered the return of Han Dong County Prince Xiang Zong with him.
To save the Queen Mother's face, there was the scene at the beginning where she deliberately made things difficult for Wu Zhi.
Now that Cai Jing has taken the initiative, Wu Zhi has to spare some time and energy to deal with it.
As for Duan Wang Zhao Ji, Wu Zhi had actually taken him into account a long time ago. From the day Wu Zhi taught meditation skills and boxing skills to the official Zhao Xu, it was equivalent to a silent declaration of war with Zhao Ji!
If possible, Wu Zhi would also like to grasp the movements of the Empress Dowager and the official Zhao Xu. However, with Wu Zhi's current ability and means, he obviously does not have the ability to extend his tentacles into the palace. This is not feasible at present and requires a step
Take it slowly step by step, or bribe the eunuchs in the palace, or send your own people into the palace, depending on the situation.
Wu Zhi has experienced the pain of being attacked by rumors and knows the power of public opinion. Therefore, he decided to build his own public opinion team and guide public opinion when necessary to confuse the public. In later generations, Internet public opinion is like an atomic bomb, killing and injuring
His power is astonishing. Therefore, Wu Zhi also needs to have his own mouthpiece, which is to run a newspaper.
As he said, Wu Zhi spent a lot of money to acquire a printing workshop. In addition to the three original craftsmen in the workshop, Wu Zhi also hired a group of frustrated literati with high salaries to form a printing company called "Ru Shi".
Literary Club, and selected an old scholar named Gu Lin as the head of the Picture and Literary Club. Gu Lin was a scholar in his thirties who came from a poor family. He failed in several imperial examinations and was not interested in the secular world.
A bit angry.
In order to act covertly, Wu Zhi did not tell them his name. He only claimed that he was Mr. Pan.
In order to avoid being noticed by others, on the first day of the establishment of "Rushi" Picture and Literature Club, Wu Zhi pretended that he was entrusted by a friend named "Pu Songling" and handed over several chapters of Strange Tales from a Strange Studio that he had compiled and written.
Gu Lin asked him to publish it as the first work after the establishment of the book club, and also gave Gu Lin the drawings of later books and newspapers, and told him to type and publish them according to this. The name of the book and newspaper was called "
"Qiushi Weekly" is stipulated to be published once a week!
A few days later, the streets and alleys of Beijing were full of voices talking about the Liaozhai stories. The Liaozhai stories compiled by Wu Zhi conquered people at once, and they were circulated one after another. The first book and newspaper work after the establishment of "Rushi" Picture and Literature Society
It became an instant hit and attracted everyone's attention. The "Rushi" picture and text agency also attracted great attention from people, and it was considered that it had taken root in the capital and established a firm foothold.
People all over the streets in the capital held this novel and unique book and newspaper in their hands. While reading it fascinatedly, they were all talking about who this person named "Pu Songling" was.
While reading in the study, Xiao'e and Jinlian also hurried in, holding the book and newspaper in their hands, and said anxiously to Wu Zhi: "Brother Dalang, look, isn't this the story you told us?
Why did it end up here? Or was it written by a person named 'Pu Songling'? Isn't this a lie? It's too much! We should settle the score with them!"
Wu Zhi took the book and newspaper from Xiao'e's hand and read it. He smiled dumbly, stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiao'e's head, and said affectionately: "Silly girl, this 'Pu Songling' is me, and this is my pen name. Yes.
I asked them to publish it!”
"Pen name? My brother's?" Xiao'e was still a little confused and muttered.
Hearing this, Jin Lian smiled sweetly, pulled Xiao'e to the side, and explained to her. After a while, Xiao'e suddenly understood and became happy again. Brother Dalang had become famous, and she felt sincerely happy!
Xiao'e, who is sixteen years old, has grown into a big girl. She is more than 1.6 meters tall, has red eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a high nose, and a rosy and fair complexion, making her look slim, youthful and beautiful.
She is no longer the skinny and little girl she used to be.
But in Wu Zhi's heart, she will always be a little girl who needs to be pampered, and he will pamper her for the rest of his life.
Wu Zhi does not want to become famous for his books, he just wants to gather popularity so that "Rushi" Picture and Literature Society can stand out and expand its influence among the people. It seems that he has succeeded in this step. Next, Wu Zhi will be in "
"Qiushi Weekly" collects manuscripts, including poems and songs, stories and essays, entertainment gossip, criticism of current ills, technological innovations, etc. You can submit a certain amount of remuneration, that is, a retouching fee, depending on the situation of the manuscript, so that the majority of literati have an outlet to vent.
, and earn some royalties by the way. At the same time, Wu Zhi will also intersperse his views on current affairs and ideas on change from time to time to enhance people's wisdom.
These are all things on the surface, but behind the scenes, we need to use books and newspapers to publicize and guide public opinion, so that things can develop in the direction Wu Zhi pursues, and assist Wu Zhi in accomplishing some important strategic goals.
Wu Zhi's purpose of running a newspaper is not to make a profit, he is to control public opinion! This will become a powerful offensive weapon in his hands.
The devil is one foot high, and the Tao is ten feet high. Don't the enemies like to play tricks? Then Wu Zhi will conspire and plot together!
