Chapter 465 The Oriental Restaurant Talks About Anecdotes, The First Issue of 'Anecdote Records'!
Wen Tai looked at Yu Changsi, then at Wen Hu, and asked, "Are you two crazy?"
"Why not?"
Wen Hu seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot and said loudly: "Didn't Zhao Cheng use the same tricks in Jianghu to capture Mujing Bay in Changsui? He dared to use the knife in Changsui, why don't we dare to attack Yanchuan?
"
"Uncle, we can't be soft-hearted anymore!"
Wen Tai frowned and said: "I'm not soft-hearted, but since I want to take this step, I must hit it with every blow. Mr. Yu also said just now that Yanchuan City is now controlled by Zhao Cheng, so let's take action in Yanchuan City
, are you sure?"
"Wen Pojun has been defeated in Youxiang's Mansion. Is it possible that Luo Ying is sure to go?"
Wen Hu said: "I'll go with Luo Ying, and I'll bring the masters of the Mushan Sect with me. Not to mention I'm absolutely sure, there's at least a 90% chance!"
Wen Tai said: "If you don't have a 100% chance, don't act rashly."
"uncle!"
Yu Changsi interjected: "Uncle Shaxian, I just suggest that you get rid of the Youxiang Mansion as soon as possible, and it doesn't go so far as to fight to the death."
Wenhu looked away, feeling depressed.
Yu Changsi said slowly: "If you want to solve it in the Jianghu way, you have to have a plan and choose the most suitable time."
Wen Tai understood Yu Changsi and asked, "Sir, do you have an idea?"
Yu Changsi was silent for a while, as if reviewing the situation in his mind, and said, "The emperor misses his sister very much, right?"
Wen Tai raised his eyebrows and understood what Yu Changsi meant.
Yu Changsi continued: "How to intensify the emperor's lovesickness for the eldest princess and arouse the emperor's desire to see his nephew, we must rely on the left prime minister."
Wen Hu also understood and said: "We want to lead Zhao Cheng and others to..."
Yu Changsi nodded.
Wen Tai got up and walked to the lake. After thinking for a while, he picked up the fishing rod and started fishing. He said, "In that case, I will give it a try and see if the fish bites the hook."
…
In the blink of an eye, it's mid-November, the eleventh year of Dajing's reign has almost passed, and Yanchuan City is starting to get colder.
Compared with last year, there were not many major events in Dajing this year, and the imperial court only mentioned three major events in its announcements.
The three counties of New Taipei City have successfully eradicated violence, and urban construction has entered a formal stage;
The great victory at Muqiao Pass on the southern border;
The Star Observation Tower was completed.
The summary of these three things came from the imperial court, and they were just used to fool the common people. Anyone who understands knows that, except for the first thing that makes sense, the last two things are also watery.
First of all, the completion of the Star Observation Tower was a matter for the emperor, but it had nothing to do with the common people.
Then the great victory at Muqiaokou... was it a great victory?
It's just a matter of losing first and then winning again.
Some bold and unscrupulous people even said after dinner that the emperor had shamelessly put money on his face in order to achieve political achievements.
"Brother, if the emperor has no shame, why does he want to put gold on his face?"
The Oriental Restaurant, which has been officially opened, is full of guests and very lively.
Because of Zhao Cheng and the Oriental Chamber of Commerce, job opportunities in Yanchuan City have increased, people's incomes have increased, and more and more people's lives have become easier.
Although the Oriental Restaurant has high-end decoration and has become the best restaurant in Yanchuan City, its market positioning is both high and low, with both luxurious low-cost private rooms and civilian-style private rooms.
Although most of the people who come to the restaurant to eat and drink are obedient people who don't talk about state affairs, there are also unruly people who talk nonsense after drinking, and there are also drunkards who watch the excitement and don't take it too seriously.
"What do you know about the emperor's thoughts? Being shameless is a strategy, and putting gold on one's face is a step. These are all imperial tactics!"
One of the drinkers picked up a newspaper with the four characters "Anecdote" written clearly on it, and shouted: "If you ask me, if the imperial court's announcement is so vague and we still want to make wild guesses, we might as well read this newspaper.
Have you all seen the three headlines published by Yiwen Club? This is so exciting!"
Yuan Fei sat in the private room on the second floor, pushed out the screen to a crack, and looked at the newspaper held by the drinker downstairs.
This is the first newspaper published by Yiwen Society, the first issue of "Yiwen Record"!
In order to make a fuss about his political achievements, Yuan Xiu asked the court to issue a notice recording three major events this year. A few days later, "Anecdotal Records" was officially released, and its first issue also published three major headlines:
Article 1: "After Qi Nian, the governor of Jingdong County, took office, he did not live a stable life entertaining grandchildren at home. Instead, he recruited crew members to spend a long time fishing at sea for fun. The old county governor was already in his seventies, and he still
Not afraid of wind and waves, not afraid of difficulties, he actually caught a deep-sea blue fan baby shark that is rare in a century! After hearing the news, wealthy businessmen in Jingdong spent a lot of money to fight for the baby shark, bidding frantically, and the highest bidder actually paid 100,000 taels of gold.
. But Qi Nian was unmoved and actually released the baby shark, which moved countless people. Hearing this, the literary master Jiu Xian was so moved that after being drunk for three days, he stayed up for seven days and nights to write the novel "The Old Sheriff and the Sea".
It sold quickly.”
Article 2: "In order to avenge his brother, the gun demon Wen Pojun went to the Western Regions to pursue the murderer, but on the way he met the swordsman Jinghai who was traveling in the west of Dajing. Wen Pojun wanted to fight with the swordsman Jinghai many years ago.
We had a duel, but we had never been able to find Jinghai Swordsman. As soon as we met him, Wen Pojun challenged Jinghai Swordsman without hesitation, but he was defeated, wounded, and missing."
Article 3: "Emperor Dajing realized that the scourge of pirates was far-reaching, and personally supervised the establishment of the Dajing Zhenhai Camp, appointed General Anyuan Duxu Chengdu as the commander, and determined to clean up the pirates along the coast of Dajing. Duxu
Cheng lived up to the emperor's favor and drove away the pirates along the coast of Jingdong County in less than a month, and advanced towards Jiangyang County and Yunjing County with thunderous momentum!"
The circulation of the first issue of "Anecdotes" was not high, and not many people bought it, but the news was spread by word of mouth, especially in places like restaurants, where these three headlines dominated the conversation after drinking.
"Chief Qi Lao is really an outstanding person! One hundred thousand taels of gold is actually unmoved. He, as a great upright official, can be considered a solid official!"
"I don't understand the affairs of Jianghu, but I have heard that the gun demon Wen Pojun is the most powerful person with guns in Jianghu, but he lost to Jinghai Sword Master. Does this mean that swords are more powerful than guns?"
"You guys...you can't pay attention to the main point even if you read anecdotes! What does Qi Lao's retirement life have to do with us? Who wins and loses between Wen Pojun and Jinghai swordsman has nothing to do with us? It is worthwhile for the imperial court to set up the Zhenhai Camp.
We’re paying attention!”
"If there were no pirates along the coast of Dajing, the economy of Yanchuan City would only be better, and the people's lives would be better!"
"Yes, that's true!"
"But I think it would be really fun to fight between Wen Pojun and Jinghai Swordsman. I really want to know the details..."
"snort--"
While everyone was talking about it, a man dressed as a scribe in black sneered in the corner.
When he smiled, he happened to be where everyone stopped talking, and immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Yuan Fei, who was in the private room on the second floor, also looked at the scribe in black.
"Why are you laughing?!" someone asked.
The scribe in black sat at a table, drank a glass of wine alone, and said: "I laugh at you for being a bunch of stupid people! You are still talking about state affairs and analyzing the key points indiscriminately. Have you found the key points of these three anecdotes?"
