Chapter 190
"Phew, I'm exhausted. The effect of this manuscript is not bad. Mr. Yang Ge will definitely be satisfied. The details are well-paced. Based on this, the performance will surely reassure His Majesty for a while, and he will not immediately urge Mr. Yang to go north to attack Li Zicheng. That's it." Ten days of retreat and hard thinking are finally not in vain."

"If Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong read it, they will inevitably be suspicious. Even if they don't start killing and clean up the internal affairs for the time being, and delay it for a year and a half at most, there will definitely be changes! When "Traveler" came out, Li Zicheng killed Luo and Ma, before and after. Didn't it drag on for more than half a year? We can afford to wait, this time it will be delayed for more than half a year!"

On April [-]th, after nearly ten days of concentrating on creating behind closed doors, taking only three days out of the middle to take care of daily civil affairs, and keeping pace with his subordinates, Shen Shuren was finally done.

After Shen Shuren's final repeated reading of "The Continuation of the Thieves", which was freshly released and the ink was still not dry, it was finalized and finalized.

He immediately sent someone to quickly send the manuscript to Nanyang and present it to Yang Sichang for excerpts.

At the same time, the version copied by Gu Yanwu was sent to the local book printing workshop in Wuchang to expedite printing.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the large-scale printed works were still printed with woodblocks.

Although movable type printing was invented long ago in the Song Dynasty, in the case of repeated printing in large quantities, it is not as cost-effective and reliable as the whole engraving block.

Only for those books with a relatively small printing volume and only a few hundred copies, movable type printing can show its talents by virtue of its flexible plate making advantages.

In addition, after long-term use of engraving printing has caused serious wear and tear on individual characters, the printers occasionally cut out these damaged characters and replace them with movable type for temporary repairs to prolong the service life of the engraving.

Movable type printing has always existed in a state of technological supplementation.

However, this time, Shen Shuren spared no expense to let engraving and movable type be used together.

First print out a single edition with movable type, even if it is only a few hundred or thousands of volumes, and find a way to distribute it through various channels to create momentum in public opinion.

He did this, apparently to save time.The block needs to be engraved from scratch, and the speed is relatively slow. It is normal for a book to be engraved in a month.Movable type can be printed in a few days as long as the ready-made typesetting is used.

In order to create the illusion of public opinion in the emperor's ears, and to temporarily stabilize the thieves from acting rashly, it is very cost-effective to spend a little more money to grab the time difference of public opinion.

After arranging all this, Shen Shuren did not forget to reward the relevant staff.

"Brother Ting Lin, it's thanks to you again this time. The 1000 taels are for moisturizing the pen. You have also stayed up late for ten days in a row. Go back and get some precious and nourishing things to nourish."

Gu Yanwu did not refuse, and accepted the gift from his boss with peace of mind.

When Gu Yanwu first followed Shen Shuren as a writer, his monthly salary was 300 taels.In the past two years, with Shen Shuren's promotion, he has been given additional treatment twice, and his salary has almost doubled from the beginning.

Working overtime and staying up late for ten consecutive days is considered five times the wages, and it is not too much to pay 1000 taels.Shen Kuoshao has always been so generous to his senior talents.

……

"The Continuation of the Thieves" came out, and Shen Shuren was finally able to enjoy some leisure and relaxation.

For the past ten days, he had been retreating in his study, and he didn't even go to his own backyard, for fear that he would lose control and waste time.

After all, Chen Yuanyuan, Dong Xiaowan, and Li Xiangjun exist in Shen Shuren's backyard at the same time. Once addicted to it, people with weak willpower can easily be unable to extricate themselves.

Therefore, we have to follow the principle of locking the mobile phone in the small black room when writing handwritten codewords in later generations.You must retreat to make sure you don't see women in order to remain efficient.Otherwise, half a day will be wasted if you randomly brush up a bunch of erotic content about practicing yoga and teaching coquettish dance on Douyin.

But this kind of retreat also hurt the beauties in the backyard.

When they were stranded in Nanjing before Shen Shuren, they only enjoyed two months of gentle and rural life.

After returning to Wuchang, Shen Shuren either ran around or retreated. He really neglected the beauty, and he was relieved today.

So that night, none of the three girls wanted to lag behind. They rubbed the son's shoulders, feet, and back one by one, and waited for him to take a bath to relieve fatigue, bathe with incense, and massage with essential oils.

Shen Shuren considered that when he was in Nanjing before, in order to let Dong Xiaowan take good care of himself, he agreed not to touch her for half a year after giving birth, which really left her in the cold, so this time he left the customs and asked Chen and Li to wait for a while.

Dong Xiaowan has not been favored by her husband for a full year and a half since she became pregnant at the end of the year before last.

Fortunately, Li Xiangjun has been with him for more than half a year, and he already has a good understanding of her husband's temperament, and has figured out a psychological characteristic of Shen Shuren.

Li Xiangjun played a little tricky and murmured in his ear: "My lord, I have also read the latest manuscript of "The Continuation of the Thieves". It is really admirable to be so high-spirited and insightful.

Since I have free time these few days, can I take the time to meet Sister Yujing?She has been in Wuchang for two months and has been practicing behind closed doors.That day when Nu's family showed her the manuscript, she admired it too much, and envied that Nu's family could ask the young master face-to-face. "

Among the eight beauties of Qinhuai, Bian Yujing is the one who likes to study the ups and downs of history and mirror lessons, and is also known for being good at talking about the past and the present.Since she redeemed herself last year, and then came to Wuchang with her, she has been living by herself.

However, with the fulfillment of "On the Thieves" one by one, and even a sequel, Bian Yujing couldn't control herself, and wanted to ask for more advice—she had no other ideas, she just worshiped and wanted to ask for advice, that's all.

When Shen Shuren thought that Fang Yizhi had made an invitation with him just after the retreat was released today, and he would come to visit tomorrow, he felt that Li Xiangjun was so abrupt and inconvenient, so he said casually:
"In a few days, there will be other guests visiting tomorrow. Brother Fang Nian will come to the house to pay a visit."

However, Li Xiangjun smiled softly and softly, and whispered in his ear: "Duplicate what you say. The big deal is to let sister Yujing come at night tomorrow, so as not to delay your business during the day."

"You plot against me!" Shen Shuren was also a little angry, Junjun actually played tricks with him, on the surface he helped Bian Yujing talk, but in fact he just adjusted the atmosphere.

……

On the second day, Shen Shuren quickly developed a headache.

Because he discovered that women are totally dishonest.

Even though it was agreed to have a treat in the evening, Bian Yujing came early in the morning.

Shen Shuren is also a person who loves fragrance and cherishes jade, and he couldn't bear to be too neglectful, so he came here, and he was still free, so he had to go to see him first.

In the words, he couldn't help complaining: "Miss Bian, didn't Jun Jun say..."

Bian Yujing was also very sensible, and smiled generously and softly: "Little sister does have some knowledge and would like to ask the adults for advice, but the adults are in the family and the world, and there are many opportunities to deal with, so how can I delay the son's business.

The younger sister just came to find Sister Junjun to catch up on the old days. When the adults are tired or empty, the younger sister will accompany you at any time, and the adults don't need to care. "

With such a low posture, with a look of "I'm free anytime, you'll be busy first, I'll play with my sister first", even if there is something abrupt, Shen Shuren can't get angry.

However, Fang Yizhi hadn't come yet, and Shen Shuren was indeed a little free, so he chatted with them first.

"Forget it. The guest I'm waiting for hasn't come yet. If Miss Bian has anything to ask, let's chat for a while."

Bian Yujing immediately showed joy, and her admiration was beyond words: "It's a great honor. In fact, a few days ago, I read the master's manuscript before and after, and my little girl really admired it. People all over the world are in panic.

It's just that the adults have built a strategic plan and found a unique way, which can be combined with Zhuge Wuhou's "The List of Later Teachers" to prove that "although the army is strong, it is not owned by a state, and it will not last long." It is really wild.

In the past few days, my little girl has been thinking hard, combined with the history of 21, and also found some examples from ancient times to the present. They are all heroes before the heyday of the military, but the people's livelihood and finances have withered, like water without a source and a tree without roots.I would like to invite adults to refer to it and see if it can be classified into this category. "

Shen Shuren originally thought that the other party would brag about him as soon as he came up, "Li Zicheng killed Luo, and the horse god predicted", but he didn't expect the other party to actually talk about historical induction with him.

"Let's listen to it." Shen Shuren could only listen to it first.

From ancient times to the present, Bian Yujing first picks the time-honored ones: "Little sister thinks that Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, and Han Xin were the first to say 'military power is at its peak, but it cannot last for a long time'. Since then, Over the past dynasties, there have been countless warlords who have extorted and extorted money that cannot last."

Shen Shuren wanted to have a sip of tea in his spare time, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but spit out: "You mean Liu Bang and Han Xin? I thought that even if we cite the example of Qin and Han, we would only cite Xiang Yu."

Bian Yujing also changed his previous expression of admiration, and said seriously: "Then Liu Bang is only half of him - although he is not good at governing the country and making money, he is good at using people. If Xiao He governs Guanzhong and has enough soldiers and food, then it is considered the land of Guanzhong. Good governance and self-sufficiency are long-term solutions. Xun Yu said to Cao Cao that "Gaozu ruled Guanzhong and Guangwu ruled Hanoi, both of which have deep roots to control the world", which is not wrong.

However, except for the land in Guanzhong, when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu competed for the world, the rest of the forces and territories could not be considered governance, long-term solutions, or self-sufficiency.It's similar to fleeing across the border and turning people into soldiers.

As for Han Xin, he used wars to support wars, slightly Zhao Bing to Yan, slightly Zhao Yan Bing to Qi, slightly Zhao Yan Qi Bing to Chu--it's a pity that Xiang Yu on the opposite side is not good at 'deep root and solid foundation', so none of the three parties has a root , Liu Bang was slightly better and was able to win.

My younger sister reads the historical records, and it is not difficult to see the details. At that time, the gap was stalemate for several years, and the two sides came and went, all relying on Chenggao who occupied the surrounding area of ​​Luoyang for a period of time to raise food. There was an Ao warehouse set up in Qin Dynasty. The remaining grain that has been looted and turned over by the six countries in the Kanto region for more than ten years is no less than tens of millions of stones.

And Xiao He's so-called "sufficient soldiers and sufficient food", what is maintained by Guanzhong is just a "sufficient soldier", and the army rations cannot be transported to the front line of the chasm entirely by Guanzhong.If Liu Bang occupied Chenggao, Liu Bang would get food, and if Xiang Yu occupied Chenggao, Xiang Yu would get food.

The five years of bloody battles between the two sides of Ao Cang's grain storage hadn't finished. In the final analysis, they just used the surplus grain that the Qin people brutally looted to support the battle.Han should have the world, not because Liu Bang was better than Xiang Yu, if only Liu Bang was relied on, it would be nothing more than exchanging violence for violence.

It was not until the time of Emperor Wen that the people could enjoy the benefits of the unification of the world, and they no longer had to extort and extort military service as in wartime, which can be regarded as "everyone in the world owns the world".

In today's situation, although Zhang Ni, the thief, is like water without a source and a tree without roots, he may also have an opportunity for Liu Xiang.There are many vassal kings in my dynasty, and after 200 years of savings, if a lucky king dies at the hands of thieves, there will be tens of millions of funds for the thieves to expand their army.A King Xiang died at the hands of Zhang Ni, another 400 million taels fell to the thief, and the death of the noble king was another 200 million taels.

Therefore, if there is not enough wealth in the local area to plunder and raise thieves, Li Chuang and Zhang Ni are Huang Chao and Zhu Wen. Out of Liu Xiang—I don’t know if the adults think the younger sister understands "The Continuation of the Thieves"? "

When Shen Shuren heard this, he did not dare to underestimate the other party.

It seems that Bian Yujing, who can leave a name in history books and is known for "knowing the mirror and learning from the rise and fall", also has his own views, so it is not easy to fool around.

If this is a man who takes refuge in Li Zicheng, maybe he can really help Li Zicheng inspire the army, and feel that he is not Huang Chao and Zhu Wen, but Liu and Xiang.

Shen Shuren had no choice but to cough lightly in embarrassment: "Miss Bian has a sweet heart and a heart, and she has extraordinary knowledge. It can be said that women do not give up to men. Although these words are not entirely true, they are not unreasonable.

However, you can't talk nonsense when you are outside. Comparing Zhang Ni to Liu Xiang, even if it is just an academic exchange, is a big rebellion and is not good for the world.What's more, there is still a difference between them.

Of course, you are a girl, and it is already very remarkable to be able to say such a thing.I'm ashamed to say that, at first I thought you would directly use the green forest red eyebrows, yellow scarves and yellow nests and other defeated thieves as analogies to Chuang and Zhang.To be able to avoid bandits and promote Liu Xiang, not to be afraid of the ancient law, not to deny the venerable, has surpassed the knowledge of at least [-]% of the scholars in the world. "

Shen Shuren talked eloquently, and Bian Yujing was pleasantly surprised and quite proud with just a few comments and approval.

At this moment, a visitor's voice happened to come from the gate of the courtyard. It seemed that they had stopped ahead of time and listened curiously for a while outside the hanging flower arch.

"Brother Shen Nian, who are you talking about with today? Could it be that it was a coincidence that you came down here? This is Sister Sister, and Brother Nian has met him several times, right? I heard that Sister Sister bet with Brother Nian last winter and made offensive words , this time convinced, come to make amends."

It was Fang Yizhi who came, and he didn't feel embarrassed, so he greeted Shen Shuren with a fan.

Bian Yujing on the side was dressed in a female crown, she looked like someone from outside, but she was calm and did not avoid it.Only Li Xiangjun, who was accompanying Bian Yujing and Shen Shuren in the middle, quickly pulled off the veil that had been placed by the desk, and put it on carefully.

As for Shen Shuren's other two concubines, Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan, they weren't very interested in the lessons of the rise and fall of history, and they didn't come to join in the fun, so they weren't there at all.

On the other side, behind Fang Yizhi, Fang Ziling was a little shy at first, but today she was willing to gamble and lose to pay for her softness.

As a result, when he saw that Shen Shuren had just finished his retreat, and immediately such a charming beauty came to ask him for advice, he felt agitated for no reason, and couldn't care less about being shy.

She gritted her teeth subconsciously, walked up to the few people generously, and bowed to Shen Shuren first: "Brother Shen is talented and far-sighted, and my younger sister was arrogant and ignorant last year, but I persuaded Brother Shen to be humble. It's really like Zhang Zhao preventing Kong Ming from comparing himself." , happy, ashamed."

Fang Ziling said she was apologetic, but she didn't want to lose face because there were other women next to her.

Therefore, when he had a sudden idea, he quoted the scriptures at his fingertips, and compared his fault of "telling Shen Shuren not to be arrogant" to the allusion of verbally fighting against the Confucians, and the nature was not that serious.

To take a step back, this is to praise Shen Shuren to Zhuge Liang's level first, and then imply that she herself has Zhang Zhao's insight anyway, which is not too bad.

Of course, Shen Shuren was calm about this, which just showed his generosity:
"Little sister Xian still remembers some small things. Back then, our bet was only to make Xian Mei keep her mouth shut and not let the details of my strategy go out. You did this too. As for the others, I never took them seriously."

After Shen Shuren finished speaking, Bian Yujing on the other side couldn't help but asked in a low voice:
"Oh? Is this elder sister also very interested in Xingti Jingjian? It seems that I have heard Master Shen's secret strategy in advance? By the way, little sister Bian Yujing, a wandering cloud and a wild crane, was rude for not introducing it just now."

Of course Fang Ziling had never met Bian Yujing, and if she went back a year, she would never even have heard of this name.

But now, she knows the existence of Bian Yujing, because she knows Li Xiangjun very well, and also knows that Bian Yujing and Li Xiangjun are sisters in need——

This Li Xiangjun is the concubine who caused Shen Shuren to be in danger last year, got into trouble with Zuo Liangyu and refused to rescue him!

In Fang Ziling's impression, Li Xiangjun is an existence that brings disaster to the country and the people like Daji Baosi.She didn't know Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan well, and she didn't have a bad feeling about them, but she hated Li Xiangjun.

At this moment, listening to Bian Yujing's self-introduction, and seeing that beside her there is a beautiful beauty who has just put on a veil and behaves intimately with Bian Yujing, Fang Ziling's expression is a little complicated:

"So you are Miss Bian, so this must be Miss Qinhuai... No, it should be Miss Li Xiangjun, who is famous in Huguang. I really feel sorry for you, no wonder, no wonder."

No matter how straight and steel Shen Shuren is, he can also hear the smell of gunpowder inside.

It seems that Miss Fang is the only one who has a big opinion on Li Xiangjun.
