Chapter 1323 Marketing First Step

"Husband, are you alright?"

Seeing Wang Yan coming back, Xiao Mei rushed over to offer him warmth.

"You go down."

Wang Yan watched the maidservant in the room go out, then he told Xiao Mei what happened and said, "I am now the military advisor of the Prince of Jin's Mansion."

"It's just a nominal position. Yang Guang would never allow my husband to really consult on the matter." Xiao Mei also understood this.

"That's right." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, "But it doesn't matter. We can just rely on the palace to do business. Just follow what we said before. In ten or eight years, we will be able to become powerful."

"My husband, be careful of Yu Wenhuaji. He is a man of evil intentions, cunning and dangerous."

"Don't be afraid of him. Under Yang Guang's nose, at most he will gossip and slander us. He may also hinder our business, but it will be done in private. If you are not afraid of him in public, how can you be afraid of him in private? If he dares to make trouble for us, then we will chop his hands off and stomp his feet."

Wang Yan hugged Xiao Mei and said, "Madam, there is one thing you must understand. If you follow me, you will be at odds with the wealthy and powerful families. The wealthy and powerful families will not treat me, a small pawn or a peasant, as a human being, but only as a dog. If you want to rely on their support to succeed, you will just be another Yang Jian. This is what you told me.

Our strength should come from more small soldiers and peasants. There are countless such people. How many wealthy families are there? They are all human beings. If the knife is cut, everyone's head will fall off. So in the future, you should be closer to these people around us and make them feel valued. Don't look down on them arrogantly.

When we have the support of countless small soldiers and peasants, we will never be like Yang Sui, who is hindered by various wealthy families. Whether the world changes or not is up to us, and life and death are up to us. "

"I had hoped that my husband would be able to flatter the wealthy and powerful families." Xiao Mei sighed.

"Of course we have to pretend to be nice. We can't let everyone target us. How can we accumulate strength if that happens? I'm saying this just to make you understand what our foundation is and what we rely on. You have to know who is truly one of us. Even if you have to pretend, you have to pretend like that."

"I understand, husband." Xiao Mei squeezed Wang Yan again, "Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, dynasties have risen and fallen, and there has never been a commoner who became a general or a prime minister. You have taken the most difficult path, husband."

"So are you going to follow?"

"I follow my husband wherever he goes. I will follow my husband, a humble servant, till death. I only hope that he will succeed in his career and live up to my love for me."

"I am a man of integrity and I value my promises the most. As long as I am alive, I will do what I promised. I will never treat you badly, my Queen Xiao."

"Your Majesty~"

……

The next day, Wang Yan heard good news from the guards sent by Yang Guang.

"Wang Advisor, I heard that Yu Wenzhi is ill and has not come out today."

"It spread so fast?" Wang Yan raised his eyebrows.

"I guess the 100,000 troops in Jiankang know about this now. The advisor and Yu Wenzhi are at war to the death."

"What can you do to me? If he does it again, I'll hang him up and beat him."

"Counseling true warriors."

Wang Yan asked with a smile: "Why, you can't stand Yu Wenhuaji?"

"No one wants to see him. The advisors don't know that Yu Wenzhi was a playboy in his early years and a very bad person..."

Wang Yan understood that Yu Wenzhi not only looked down on him, but also looked down on everyone who was not as good as the Yuwen family. It was due to the deep-rooted arrogance in his bones.

He nodded: "Watch out, brothers. I will play with him and make him look down on others."

"It has to be the Council that can control him. To be honest, we have long been fed up with him."

Wang Yan smiled and started to wander around the palace with Xiao Mei. After all, there were no rules at this time and they could go anywhere.

The maids and guards also followed behind and listened to the explanation of the tour guide Xiao Mei.

These guards dared to tell Wang Yan that they looked down on Yu Wenzhi, of course, because he had been fighting with Yu Wenzhi to the death, and they were on the same front in this regard. But if you look closely, these people were just watching the fun, encouraging him to fight Yu Wenzhi fiercely, and they followed along to watch the fun.

After all, even if these people were just guards for Yang Guang, they were all people with backgrounds. If you look back, they were all legitimate sons of various high-ranking officials and wealthy families who had no chance of inheriting the family property, as well as illegitimate sons who had no hope at all.

These people disliked Yu Wenzhi because he looked down on them, but they also looked down on Wang Yan.

Not to mention Wang Yan, even Xiao Mei who was standing next to him knew all these things clearly.

But Wang Yan didn't care. As the saying goes, one should strive for self-improvement. When he is strong, others dare not breathe heavily and do not have the courage to speak loudly to him...

Time flies. Wang Yan and Xiao Mei spent some loving and leisurely time together. It was already mid-March.

This is March in the lunar calendar, which is probably May in modern terms, and the summer heat in the south has already begun to rise.

It was also at this time that, after more than a month of plundering, the wealth was collected, and Daxing had arranged all the personnel here and had already taken office to rule.

The war of Sui Dynasty to destroy Chen Dynasty was completely over at this point.

The army also set out with the spoils of war, and would not disperse until they returned to Daxing to receive rewards.

The Sui Dynasty had a military system. Good families farmed when they were busy, trained in the army when they were free, and fought in wars. They also had to prepare their own bows, arrows, swords, shields and other weapons. Other armor and crossbows were provided by the government, because armor doubled the combat effectiveness, and crossbows doubled the attack power, all of which were under the control of the government.

So except for the regular professional soldiers, everyone else has to go back to their hometown.

But people were also happy. As mentioned above, after searching for corpses and looting, plus rewards, young people returned to their hometowns to buy land, build houses, marry wives, and have children. Old people could also arrange marriages for their sons, fulfilling their responsibilities as grandfathers, continuing the family line, and blessing their descendants.

Military discipline at that time was not so strict. A large group of men who had just joined the army gathered together to do things like burning, killing and looting. It was unrealistic to expect them to have high discipline.

So on the way back, everyone was sparse, bragging and chatting according to the team's organization, laughing all the way. When passing through villages and towns, some people ran to get some chickens and ducks to satisfy their cravings, and the people around them dared not say anything. Not to mention ordinary people, even local wealthy people, these soldiers dared to steal things.

Of course, in reality, the local wealthy families were more sensible, they knew very well that wherever the army passed, no matter how high their status was, it would be in vain. Along the way, there were local wealthy families organized by local officials to welcome the army, and they took the initiative to give some money to the generals, play with women, and send some food and drink to the soldiers.

If they were ignorant, and a general was unhappy, he would send some people to massacre the whole family, and there would be no place to complain. At that time, the general would plead guilty, and the people in charge would run away. No one would suffer, but a whole family of a wealthy family would die.

But this kind of thing is rare... Wang Yan led the Red Flame BMW, Xiao Mei was wearing a rare green plain dress, with a white veil on her face, holding an umbrella and sitting on the thick saddle to avoid rubbing her legs. Although there was a carriage, it was too hot and the carriage was very stuffy. There were no other empty carts, so they had to make do with this.

On the other side, there were two large carts pulled by horses. They were loaded with Xiao Mei's accumulation, a large amount of money, jewelry, and fine clothes. The only things that belonged to Wang Yan were a few large boxes of books he got from the Chen Kingdom's library, his Ming Guang armor, and his horse lance.

At this time, there were dozens of people around Wang Yan, listening to him tell stories.

"Speaking of Ning Caichen..."

It's exactly what Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio is about. There's nothing against the rules in what it talks about. Although there are some ghost stories, ghosts and monsters are also human beings. It makes sense and there's absolutely no problem with it.

The people around were very excited to hear this. They cheered for Yan Chixia's efforts to exorcise demons, felt sorry for Nie Xiaoqian, and envied Ning Caichen for having sex with a ghost...

The ancients had very feudal ideas, but their thoughts were quite wild, and their play was really perverted...

"In the end, Nie Xiaoqian was reincarnated, and Ning Caichen married a new wife..."

"Wang, please tell me one more. Tell me one more."

"Yes, I have heard so many stories, but Wang Ziyi's is the best."

Wang Yan laughed and waved his hands: "Alright, alright, I've been talking for a long time, I need to take a break. I don't have that much knowledge, and I need to study for a few more days and come up with a new story. Let's all go, we still have a long way to go, I'll tell you again in a few days, you can all hear it."

After a few laughs, everyone dispersed.

These people were not the nobles of the Prince Jin's Palace, but ordinary soldiers who brought money to the palace. After winning the battle, as the nominal supreme commander and a prince, it was natural for them to take some spoils of war, and no one would make a fuss about it.

After all, if Yang Guang doesn't take it, how can the generals take it? If the generals don't take it, how can the various officers take it? If the officers don't take it, how can the soldiers take it? How can everyone get rich?

If you don't make much money from a battle and it's not enough to maintain your equipment, then isn't the battle fought in vain?
Anyone who makes a fuss about this kind of thing would be stirring up a hornet's nest.

The team escorting the valuables was composed of soldiers in the middle and rear. The journey was long and he had nothing to do, so he just chatted with them and later started telling stories.

Personality and reputation must be consistent and implemented throughout one’s life.

Do these dozens of soldiers, plus the one hundred or so people who took turns driving carts to listen, represent the one hundred or so people?

Obviously not. There are also their fellow townsmen, their comrades, and other people they have come into contact with. If you spread it out, there are no less than a thousand people. They all know that this is a good brother who climbed up to the high branch of the Jin Palace with his high martial arts skills, but has not forgotten his roots and is willing to make friends with these people who came from a poor background.

Wang Yan even made a bold statement that if anyone has any problems in the future, they can come to him and he will do his best to help his good brothers solve the problems.

Unless it was a last resort, no one would take him as the truth. But when it came to a critical moment, people would come to him for help. At that time, he would handle the matter and arrange for people to spread the word. At that time, he would definitely have a huge reputation among the lower-level soldiers.

When these people encounter problems, they really have nowhere to turn to. Local wealthy families and bureaucrats suppress them. Even the government soldiers will be divided and cannot make any difference. Although they have some comradeship with their superiors in the army, those who care about friendship cannot help, and those who can help do not care about friendship.

In this case, Wang Yan is the most connected person in the lives of the hundreds of people present. They will definitely find him, even if there is only one person...

Is Qin Shubao a little Mengchang? He is eager to help others and is a brother and relative wherever he goes.

Wang Yan wanted to let people see what it meant to be the reincarnation of Lord Mengchang...

Helped by Wang Yan to get off the horse, Xiao Mei, who had been staggering for a long time, walked along with him to relieve the fatigue of sitting for a long time.

"My husband, you tell a great story."

"I'll think about it more in the future and entertain my wife."

"This story is good. When we get to Daxing, we can compile it into a book and make a lot of money. The ladies in the boudoir love to listen to these stories the most."

"Madam is really wise and knows how to make money. I didn't even think of this."

Xiao Mei gently patted Wang Yan and covered her mouth with her hands and laughed: "My husband is the best at pleasing others. You must have thought of it a long time ago."

"So sure?"

"Although my husband has a poor background, he is very wise. How could he not know such a small matter?" Xiao Mei held an umbrella and walked at a moderate pace. "My husband integrated quickly. It hasn't been long since he became one of them."

"I am just one of them, why should I integrate?" Wang Yan shook his head and chuckled, "I didn't say anything empty or boastful. If they ask me for help, I will definitely do my best to get it done."

Wang Yan told Xiao Mei about his personal marketing, and Xiao Mei understood this very well. She read history and knew that people in the past loved this. What celebrity comments, what great sages in the mountains, all of them were personal marketing to get promoted.

The system of recommending filial and honest people and asking everyone to give advice is lagging behind the actual development. First, there are people who are truly filial and honest, who have real advice, and who become generals and ministers. Then it becomes a system, and then everyone starts to take advantage of the rules and find loopholes.

"My husband is wise, otherwise he would not have such lofty ideas."

Wang Yan laughed: "The road ahead is long and arduous, let's work hard together."

As they hurried along, Wang Yan told everyone stories and boasted to everyone, feeling relaxed and at ease. Yang Guang even asked him to come over and tell stories several times.

When Yang Guang heard that he was going to print books and sell them in Daxing, he ordered people to record it in writing, saying that he would help him when he returned to Daxing.

This is because Wang Yan's identity has been investigated and he is just a clean peasant. Yang Guang was relieved and more tolerant towards Wang Yan.

Apart from other things, Wang Yan himself is a peerless warrior, and he will have many military achievements in the future. He doesn't mind Wang Yan making a little money if he keeps such a person by his side and can use him at any time.

Wang Yan also met Yu Wenzhi many times, but of course he didn't receive a good face. Every time they met, Yu Wenzhi's nose was not a nose, his eyes were not eyes, he gritted his teeth, and wanted to bite Wang Yan to death. Wang Yan always teased Yu Wenzhi with a smile, and after every meeting, Yu Wenzhi would have a tantrum in private...

Along the way he also observed the people's sentiments. Generally speaking, they were living a normal life in ancient times, which was a rare peace and tranquility.

The main reason is that the Sui Dynasty unified the world by first usurping the throne of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, abolishing the vassal Western Liang, and then directly annihilating the Southern Chen Dynasty with a large army, and then pacifying Lingnan. The damage to production and life was not that great.

When Yang Guang came to power, he fought against the Turks, made three expeditions to Goguryeo, built Luoyang, and opened the Grand Canal, which in itself caused huge damage to the people's strength. Then there was the scramble for supremacy among various warlords, and fighting took place everywhere, which made the people's livelihood in China deteriorate. Later, Li Shimin came to power and worked hard to govern the country, but the country was still not restored to the level of the current Sui Dynasty.

History always writes about the heroes in war, but never about the dead in the graves...

I would like to thank the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets, and read books silently for their strong support!
