Chapter 49: The Bookstore (Page 1/1)

There are some things that can only be seen clearly when you stay out of the matter, but the fact that the imperial court sent a scholar from Wenyuan Pavilion to Luzon needs to be in the bureau to understand.

Thinking of the cautious Gao Ge Lao, the donkey man suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.

After Xu Wei's mention, Chen Mu finally remembered that Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong had also fought. How to fight, Chen Mu didn't know, but he knew that Old Man Gao had lost, and now that the two of them hadn't started fighting, Zhang Cifu was already ready to build a house for Old Gao Ge in Luzon.

First send a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion who was squeezed away to explore the way for the old Gao Ge, if appropriate, where the old Gao Ge will go in the future-Chen Mu estimated that he was here.

The letter from the other side of the sea came only two days slower than Chen Mu's return to Macheng, and in the letter written by Gao Gong to Chen Mu, he was sure that Uncle Gao didn't know that this was a bureau set up for him by his henchmen and siblings, and his words were always disdainful of Zhao Zhenji and others, and he said lightly that it was to send him a few people who were not needed by the imperial court to talk about his momentum.

Regardless of whether he is a scholar or a scholar, he didn't even have an official position when he came to Luzon, he just said that he was the minister of Nanyang and the yamen listened to it.

Chen Mu waited for a few days and didn't see anyone coming, but he already understood in his heart, concentrated on dealing with his own affairs, replied to Gao Gong, and continued to ask him to send a few talents and people over, and he had the experience before becoming an official.

"Why didn't anyone come? Needless to say, the court can transfer people, they are all idle at home, and people can not listen! ”

Chen Mu ushered in a wide leather scroll from outside the yamen, let a few family members carry it into the side hall of the castle, turned his head and whispered to Xu Wei: "I guess, I have to pick another cabinet minister to come over, if I don't set this precedent, it is not over-yes, I opened the nail wall, don't be crooked, it's square." ”

Zhao Shizhen and Pinto each stood aside with several scrolls, neither of them understood what dumb riddle Chen Mu was playing with Xu Wei, so they saw Xu Wei with his eyes closed, his eyebrows drooping with a look of resignation, and said: "Chen Shuai is on the cusp no matter where he is." ”

Chen Mu could only smile bitterly, although he was not sitting in a closed house from the sky, he was caught off guard enough.

Who knows what Second Master Zhang thinks, before he started fighting, he had already found a place for Shoufu who would lose in the future, which was a sure win.

This actually has nothing to do with Chen Mu, it belongs to something he can't control. It was much more difficult for him to sit in a chair in Beijing than to help Spain reduce the cost of a governor's salary—since Lin Feng had obtained the news of the battle on Cebu Island, Philip II no longer needed a Philippine governor.

"Mr. Zhan has read it, Lin Afeng has taken Cebu Island, the enemy army on Panay Island has lost its support, and the entire Luzon Islands can be pacified in three months at most."

Chen Mu shook his head, quite emotional, and said: "I used to underestimate him a little, and he is indeed a rare hero in the world, although there is a coincidence in the attack on Cebu Island, but there are a lot of tactics in the art of war, just showing the enemy to lure the enemy out of the city with weakness, this is not simple." Not to mention that there are ambushes left in advance, isolating the two places, amazing! ”

In the battle report, the donkey man could not see that Lin Feng almost pushed the whole army into the range of Diego shore artillery in the northeast port, nor could he see that the pirate leader arrogantly stormed the castle and was beaten by the musketeers on the bridge.

He reversed the situation in the battle report and combined it into a wise and powerful Lin Afeng, although the appearance of the two stone cannons was indeed a coincidence, but the battle report made him believe that even without those two cannons, Regasby would only have the fate of defeat.

Xu Wei was skeptical of Lin Feng's strength, although the battle report and victory made all this seem certain, he still didn't agree with Chen Mu's opinion of that widow, and simply pouted and walked to the side with his hands behind his back, and circled around the side hall as if no one was around.

Second Master Chen had long been accustomed to Xu Wei entering his spiritual world anytime and anywhere, and this could not affect him in the slightest.

At this moment, he was completely caught in the complacency and admiration of his discerning and appointing heroes, and said with a smile: "My Ming Navy will add another fierce general, and all this will become a legendary story in the future." ”

"Speaking of stories, the paper trough workshop and printing workshop in Macheng should be opened first!" Saying that, Chen Mu pointed to the soldiers who were hanging the leather scrolls, and said to Zhao Shizhen and Pinto: "Don't hold it, give it to them, and hang the picture on it." ”

The two aides carried maps in their arms, including detailed maps of Guangdong, Fujian, and the Luzon Islands, Borneo, Malacca, Japan, and even Pinto's impressions of the West.

Of course, the head of the Western map cannot be pinto alone, and the mirror has asked Bishop Carneiro to put out a bounty to collect Western maps, nautical charts, and the history and stories of various countries.

The reason why I asked the bishop to help is because he is an authority after all, and he will not be fooled with blind things.

Zhao Shizhen just put down the picture, heard Chen Mu say this, turned around and said: "Ming Gong, the papermaker and the craftsman of the bookstore have asked Li Yuxi to go to Jiangsu to find it, and there will be results within a month. ”

"The raw materials needed for papermaking are all there, and there is still a lot of surplus. The demand for paper is also very large, and there are tens of thousands of daily enlightenment textbooks alone, not to mention that Chen also plans to make books and sell them to Daming, which is indispensable - it is best to find a broken household that can't survive in Daming, although it is only hard money, Chen can also give him a fortune. ”

Thousands of books are indeed a wealth for ordinary booksellers and paper dealers.

Zhao Shizhen nodded indifferently, rich and noble...... This kind of word can't arouse his interest at all, after all, he guards a curtain master who doesn't know how much money he has all day long, and every ten days and half a month, there are bills sent from nowhere through his eyes, and his own curtain master has tens of thousands of taels of silver in the warehouse.

Secretary Zhao has been detached, although the money is not his, but his vision has been more long-term, in Chen Mu's theory, it is very clear that silver is just an equivalent, and there is no meaning.

However, what Chen Mu wanted to do was not just to print some enlightenment books, he asked: "Zhao Zhixian has not been busy recently, let's compile a book, it will be called Wanguozhi." When we complete this map and gather all the information we have collected, you will compile it, starting from Luzon, and compile a set of books to sell to the country. ”

"The Ming Dynasty is too big, it is impossible for everyone to open their eyes, and the people who are buried in the fields can not know what it is like overseas, but the people who read the books need to know, but they don't have the way to know these things, so they need to be sent down by the heavens to let them know."

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Shizhen, raised his two fingers and said: "I know political affairs, military affairs, planning, and Western weapons, according to Chen, this person is you." ”
