Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 36

The Wang family had long regarded the backyard as a workshop, and several old scholars from the county gathered together to proofread the text one by one.

Mo Mo entered the room lightly, but saw Youqin Muyan serving Wang Xiu tea, and just staying quietly beside Wang Xiu, his heart tightened for no reason, and his face turned pale.

"Brother Zhizhi is here." Wang Xiu looked up occasionally and saw silence.

Silent eyes swept over Youqin Moyan, put on a gentle smile, walked over and said, "I'm late today, how is the progress?"

"It will be almost done in two days, and the writing must not be sloppy." Wang Xiu looked a little tired, but she was in good spirits.

"Brother, I left the tea, drink more, don't be too forceful." Youqin Moyan looked at the silence, put down the tea, packed the bamboo basket and was about to leave.

"Miss Youqin, why are you leaving so soon?" Mo Mo hurriedly said when she saw that Youqin Moyan was about to leave.

Youqin Moyan glanced at Wang Xiu, his face was pale, but he didn't speak, but in Shen Mo's eyes, her eyes were full of hope.

Wang Xiu focused all his attention on the book. This was his hope, and it was also an important way for him to get out of the predicament. He couldn't tolerate any slack. Hearing this, he just smiled and said, "Sister, Eldest Sister is still looking for you. Don't hurry."

Youqin Moyan's pretty face was gloomy, full of disappointment, and said softly: "I'll go and see Eldest Sister, don't worry too much."

Shen Mo wanted to say something but didn't know how to speak, so he could only watch Youqin Mo Yan leave, feeling really overwhelmed in his heart.

"Brother Zhi, come and take a look." Wang Xiu was a little strange to Youqin Moyan's tenderness, but he didn't pay special attention, and handed over twenty pages of manuscripts.

Shen Shen took it and sat down to look at it carefully, but he couldn't calm down for a long time, his mind was full of Qin Moyan's grievance, which made him feel very sorry, and secretly blamed Wang Xiu for not knowing style.

Wang Xiu was wronged enough. Ever since he came to this world, he has faced one crisis after another. For the survival of her and her family, he must control his own destiny, at least make himself a powerful chess piece that can be seen by chess players. Chess pieces, in order to survive better.What's more, it is now the seventh year of Zhenghe, and the terrifying Jurchen frenzy will sweep in eight years later, and the prosperous Central Plains will be a mess.

Every time he thinks about it, he shudders all over his body. In fact, until now, he has no lofty ideals. He only hopes to protect his family and let them live a good life. How to protect it?Only with strength, strength is not only about money, the most important thing is to gain political status.

Silence calmed my mind, took a rough look at the manuscript, and returned to the manuscript, saying: "Okay! My brother is still thoughtful. Well, I have read it for two days and proofread it. It would be better to get it printed in Tokyo."

Wang Xiu looked at Shen Mo playfully, and said with a faint smile: "Tokyo Printing is indeed better than Xiaoxiao Shangshui, but for the time being, Shangshui's printing of the first edition is appropriate."

"Oh, why is that?" Silence was rather interested.

Wang Xiu curled her lips and said, "I have to eat food in bites. I'm afraid I can't cope with the increase in level. Let's take a look at the signs first. A small place has the benefits of a small place."

"Brother, you are too cautious. From my point of view, it is very common to cause controversy. Only by causing controversy can there be huge benefits. I am afraid that Shilin's reaction will be mediocre." Shen Mo disagreed with Wang Xiu's idea. Considering issues from a business perspective is also mixed with this understanding of Shilin.

Wang Xiu shook his head, and said resolutely: "No, this is different from doing business. Doing business is only several times the profit." The words came leisurely, he stood up and stopped talking, but walked out slowly.

Shen Mo put down the manuscript and followed out, saying: "Since my brother wants to fight, why don't you let it go, it's not good to act like a little girl."

Wang Xiu rolled her eyes in silence, and sighed secretly, if she had the capital of silence, of course she would give it a go, at least she would be a rich man.However, he does not have the capital, even if he is silent, and the two hit it off, he does not have the capital to be reckless in the last stand. Everything must be planned for a rainy day, without relative certainty, he must not act rashly.

"Going to Tokyo to publish it will benefit my brother a lot. Life is fun, so my brother is fighting." Shen Mo smiled, full of temptation.

Wang Xiu was not moved, but just smiled, and said: "The business of the eldest sister is good these days, when Brother Zhizhi mentioned Tokyo, the younger brother remembered what the elder sister said about personnel matters yesterday, if she can go to Tokyo to open a shop, I will She also laughed at her ability to do a good job in Shangshui's business, that's her ability, don't think about it all day long."

Shen Mo frowned, and said with a smile: "Elder sister is very ambitious, a woman who dares to act boldly. Well, now my brother Qiu Wei's exam registration is about to be resolved. Once the theory of the mind is born, it will be enough for the emperor to call for a special name." At that time, I will move to Tokyo with my uncle and others, and with my elder sister Lan Xinhui's attitude, I will still worry about making a living."

Wang Xiu smacked her lips, secretly praising Mo Mo for being so damn smart. With a few words, she used his words to block herself back, then drew a big picture cake for herself, and said with a smile: "I haven't thanked you much yet. Brother, if it weren't for you, I would have delayed the trial."

"It's a trivial matter. It's just that the governor of the prefecture informed the professor of prefectural studies. Who in Shangshui County dares to push three blocks and four." Silently smiled Mimi, but his tone was full of domineering air, and said: "Besides, that's also The rascal caused the trouble first, so there is nothing wrong with you protecting Miss Youqin, but as for killing people! A strong man draws his sword to help when he sees injustice, what is the matter?"

Wang Xiu listened soundly, and was about to give in a few words, but heard, "It's like Cai Gongxiang, who was dismissed several times and became an official, and Da Cai Xianggong is a scholar. If you want to talk about right and wrong, the prince is dismissed, and Da Cai Xianggong is fine." , there is no reason why father and son are rich and honored today."

He shook his head and smiled, noncommittal, but he had some faint interest in Cai Jing, hesitantly said: "Brother Zhi is familiar with Cai Xianggong."

Silence chuckled, and said relaxedly: "Doing business at home, how could it not be good with the princes of the dynasty, but well, the princes really can't make friends."

Wang Xiu nodded. No matter how big your family business is, even if you are the richest in the world, in the era of centralized monarchy, it is impossible to compete with the court unless you enter the so-called capitalism and form a new interest class. Only when it develops and grows to a certain extent can it compete with or even manipulate the regime.

The Shen family looked pretty, and even the magistrate had to give some face in the local area, but what is Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo?Those were the cities where the top dignitaries gathered in the current dynasty. I am afraid that the Shen family will have to curry favor with some real families, and there will be many unsatisfactory things.Otherwise, Shen Mo would not have seen the truth of learning from the heart, and immediately went south and lived in Shangshui, calling him brothers and sisters, having a great time.

However, he has a very good sense of silence. Although this person has the snobbery of a businessman and is even more ambitious, he is very realistic, knowing how to advance and retreat, and understand the importance.

"How easy is it to do these days! It's even more difficult to be a human being."

Silently, he looked at Wang Xiu in amazement. These words were ordinary, but they touched his mind. The Shen family has developed to this day, and the three generations have endured hardships. In the family, he lived like walking on thin ice, he couldn't help sighing softly, and said: "Those who know me, brother!"

Wang Xiu didn't think it was strange at all. It would be strange if there was no intrigue in the rich family passed down from generation to generation. Those direct descendants were not ambitious. In fact, fame is the best talisman.

He smiled faintly, waiting for the word of silence.

"I'll tell you the truth, brother, it's not difficult to get a fellow Jinshi based on my family affairs, but so what?" Shen Mo smiled helplessly.

The same Jinshi is just to appease those who have not been awarded repeatedly. Few people can think highly of it.Wang Xiu somewhat understood why Mo Mo wanted to publish it in Tokyo. It seemed that the young proprietor was eagerly looking forward to it.

Mo Mo didn't want to publish it in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo immediately, so as to become famous in one fell swoop and completely stabilize his position in the family, but he knew very well that knowledge cannot be taken away, and Wang Xiu is not as simple as He Laodao said.

"Brother Zhi, I have an idea, I wonder if you can agree?" Wang Xiu glanced silently, as if she had made up her mind.
