Chapter 1151 1151: Diamond Ring, Biography of Famous Ministers and Celebrities (Part 2)
【Ask for monthly ticket】
For Shen Tang, being the king has always been a side job.
The real main occupation is painting.
Because of her obsession, she invested heavily in the research of papermaking mills from the period of Heyin County, to Longwu County, and then to the period of Fengluo, the capital. No matter Shen Tang was fighting a war or managing people's livelihood, or whether her financial resources were tight or not, she She has never cut back on the research and development funding of the papermaking workshop. The papermaking craftsmen have lived up to her trust, changing the formula ratio tens of thousands of times, improving the technology thousands of times, and constantly trying new materials to make better paper in more than ten years.
It truly achieves the effect of being tough but moisturizing, smooth but not slippery.
When you write, you have both physical and mental strength, and when you paint, you are full of energy.
The paper mill also started to make profits from the gold-eating beast that could only enter but not exit.
This is Shen Tang's personal treasury. She has announced that she will use half of her output this year and next to print pamphlets praising the civil and military affairs of Kang. What kind of magnanimity is this? From ancient times to the present, which king does not pursue fame and fortune? Not suspicious?
Who can endure the fact that his ministers are so outstanding that they impress the master and their fame spreads far and wide? I wish I could stand out and no ministers could steal my limelight.
But the main character is different.
Chu Yao suppressed this temptation and kept his reason to advise Shen Tang to think carefully: "The monarch ordered to write biographies for his ministers to praise their achievements and promote their benevolence. This is unheard of and unseen. Even if it is not as famous as 'Biographies of Famous Ministers and Famous Scholars' Being famous all over the world can also attract the pursuit of a large number of civilians. If it gets out of control, I'm afraid..."
Shen Tang asked back: "What are you afraid of?"
Chu Yao sighed: "I'm afraid they will fail the Lord."
It's not that Chu Yao deliberately gave eye drops to his colleagues behind his back, but that the Lord's preferential treatment was too generous, so rich that it could make people feel elated and even get carried away. He was even more afraid that the reputation among the people would be too great, and he would eventually rely on his power to use his power to attack the Lord. Prestige creates threats.
People always change.
The moment of allegiance is true loyalty, but the betrayal after being changed beyond recognition is also true betrayal: "The Lord is too kind and kind, but will make the ministers forget their duty as a minister, and the flowers in front of them will be decorated with brocade, and the fire will cook the oil. 'Attributing it to one's own abilities and forgetting the Lord's trust and promotion..."
Are you excited?
Heartbeat!
Precisely because Chu Yao himself was moved, he was even more afraid that others would lose control. No matter how you make money, you will make money, so there is no need to leave such a big hidden danger. He said seriously: "Please think twice before you act!"
Shen Tang was stunned by what he said.
He was almost turned into a ditch by Chu Yao.
"Wu Hui, what are you doing?" Shen Tang helped Chu Yao up, patted the back of his hand, and said sincerely, "I have actually thought about the worries you mentioned. The hidden dangers do exist, but I don't think there is any need to stop eating because of choking. Just for the sake of a little suspicion, we assume the worst outcome. It is obvious that 'a flower blooming alone is not spring, but a garden full of purple and red flowers'? Some princes like to stand alone, but I am different. In the court, it is better to have a cluster of flowers."
Is this just like going on stage to compete for the C position and forcing others to put on makeup? It’s useless, using the mediocrity of others to highlight your own wisdom? As everyone knows, birds of a feather flock together. You spend all day hanging around with a group of unknown people, my lord. How high can an IQ be?
If any of the civilized men and women in the tent are outstanding, what kind of outstanding person should they be as the lord they serve?
How could so many talented people be defeated if they weren't outstanding people?
Shen Tang could imagine his reputation among the people rising again: "Furthermore, the content of the interview will definitely involve me meeting them for the first time. Anyone who is not blind knows how good a lord I am. This is no better than Is it effective to praise yourself positively?”
She still has to be shameless.
It's okay to be narcissistic in private, but Shen Tang can't open her mouth when the whole world praises herself. There is no pressure to include private things in "The Biography of Famous Officials and Celebrities". If Shen Tang doesn't praise herself, others will praise her. Praise from others is more genuine.
Chu Yao: "...the same is true."
As long as the Lord doesn't suffer any loss, that's fine.
Shen Tang smiled a little bit: "That's right. You don't know who your boss is? Can you put yourself at a disadvantage? This news will be spread out later, which will definitely make them happy." 'It doesn't take twenty years to write a book. We can make an annual or semi-annual publication, and the length doesn't need to be too long. The number of people in each volume is fixed, and outstanding performance will all have a share."
Hanging carrots can ensure everyone's enthusiasm for work.
Chu Yao smiled lightly: "Everything depends on the Lord. However, Yao still has one thing that he doesn't understand. This booklet is not only to praise those who must have made contributions, but its main purpose is to promote diamonds and open doors. How can we link diamonds to the content? "
Shen Tang held his chin: "...let me think about it."
People in this era don’t even talk about the concept of hidden advertising. They don’t even have the concept of systematic advertising. They only know that doing business depends on shouting and concisely explaining the advantages of their products. How to accurately target the audience if you don’t find the core of the product?
Merchants in the previous life tied diamonds to love.
It touches on young people's yearning for eternal love.
Copied exactly?
This is a dead end.
Love is a luxury for people in troubled times. It needs peaceful soil and rich materials to take root and sprout. It would be good if ordinary people can live. What kind of love is it?
Chu Yao has an idea here.
"Since diamond is hard in texture, this quality is not exactly in line with the core of this book and biography - loyalty to the emperor and his subjects!"
Shen Tang stood up and said, "What a great idea!"
Wuhui is also a business-savvy person!
No matter how chaotic the world is, how frequently the country changes, or even changing two or three nationalities in one generation, the monarch in his heart expects his ministers to be loyal to him, and the leader of the warlords also expects his ministers to be loyal! The ministers will also meet this expectation with their mouths.
Is there anything wrong with placing your expectations on hard diamonds?
Nothing wrong!
In the past, gentlemen were more virtuous than jade, which was gentle, moist and benevolent. Since jade can entrust virtue and integrity, diamonds cannot entrust loyalty? The hardness of this thing is so suitable. It perfectly scratches the lord's itch! Which lord has listened? Not confused?
Taking this as the core can also extend other meanings.
For example, the love of brothers and the righteousness of confidants.
Shen Tang didn't dare to think how good the sales would be then.
She can't wait to put her idea into action.
"We have good literary talent and are good at this, so we should do our best to draw portraits..." Shen Tang's eyes were bright and bright, and the expectation in his eyes was so bright that it could blind Chu Yao. She expected Chu Yao to recommend her. "Who do you think is suitable?"
His eyes blinked, and the word "choose me" was written all over it.
Chu Yao: "..."
He couldn't bear to reject the Lord.
For him to recommend to the Lord against his will is a disgrace to his colleagues.
He thought: "Yuanliang is the best at painting."
Shen Tang frowned and muttered in frustration: "Ah, it's him again? Wuhui, why don't you find someone else, so as not to tire Aiqing out."
Chu Yao said: "The effect of the first volume is crucial."
Shen Tang could only let go in despair.
Feeling a little shaken and self-doubting in my heart——
How come no one appreciates her paintings?
Shen Tang gathered his emotions and a figure flashed in his mind: "In that case, write a letter to Yuan Liang. By the way, we also need to recruit He Buzuo's wife. I remember that her painting skills are no less than Yuan Liang. She joined, I can also share some of Yuan Liang's burdens."
In fact, this matter does not necessarily require praying for mercy.
It is not easy for Kang Guo to find a master of the same level as him, but it is easy to find a bunch of inferior masters. There must be a brave man under the heavy reward! Shen Tang has his own selfish motives and hopes that Yuan Liang can take the opportunity to win over his colleagues. If you have a close relationship, please brush up your favorability.
This booklet came out successfully. Who doesn’t owe Yuanliang a favor?
Chu Yao nodded and wrote it down.
Shen Tang knew that the news would cause a stir, but he didn't expect it to be so big. Everyone from the civil servants and generals to the common people, even the captives of Gao Kingdom and the surviving remnants of the aristocratic families heard about it. Stunned and stunned.
Even Wu Xian, who was immersed in the state of losing his loved one, was shocked.
"puff--"
The saliva almost choked my trachea.
Wu Xian coughed loudly: "What did you say?"
Shen Youli didn't show up for five or six days in a row, and finally showed up to drop this bombshell? Was she kicked in the head by her mule mount? Wu Xian's face was full of shock and astonishment, as if he saw a monster: " Shen Youli, she is crazy!"
Wu Xian's old minister looked envious.
The envy in his eyes almost overflowed.
Putting aside Shen Youli's harsh treatment of the family members, he is really impeccable in other aspects. Who doesn't become an official for the purpose of supporting his family and gaining fame and wealth? But the monarch is also afraid that the achievements of his subordinates will shock the emperor. Once the ministers reach a certain critical point Line, what awaits the ministers is the suspicion of the monarch, and they spend the rest of their lives in fear. They are afraid that if the monarch catches them if they make a mistake, it will bring disaster to the whole family.
Who doesn’t want fame and popular support?
I want it but I'm afraid of losing my life.
Shen Youli, on the other hand, did the opposite. If someone really gave you something, he would give it generously! He did not hesitate to work hard and personally held the minister up!
The more I thought about it, the more sad I became.
Putting himself in his shoes, if someone named Shen asked for his life, he would dare to give it to him! Just as he was thinking this, when the old minister saw Wu Xian's face, he suddenly realized that he would actually have such an idea, and immediately restrained himself, for fear of being killed. Wu Xian thought a lot when he saw it.
Wu Xian said quietly: "It doesn't have to be like this."
Now he is not the king of Gao Kingdom, but just a prisoner.
The future depends on how Shen Youli arranges for him.
The old minister's face was full of shame.
But I heard Wu Xian curse in a low voice: "I'm envious of you too."
It's not that he envies those who are promoted by Shen Tang, but that he envies Shen Tang's decisiveness and cruelty. If it were him, he wouldn't have the courage at all. Even if he was told that doing so could unite people's hearts in a short time and push his own prestige to its peak. , and I don’t have the courage either.
Without him——
Firstly, the risk is too great, and secondly, I can’t bear to do it.
Ask yourself, which lord can be so generous?
Wu Xian couldn't do it, so he was jealous and sour.
The old officials of the Gao State were envious and envious, and the officials of the Kang State were anxious and looking forward to it.
The number of places in the first volume is limited, and the important ministers don't have enough points, so they will definitely not get their turn. The second, third, and subsequent volumes can still be thought of. Looking back on the official evaluation over the years, some people are happy and some are worried! The depression is short-lived. Get to work soon!
In the official evaluation, they can do better!
Other important ministers seem to be as calm as chrysanthemums, but in fact they are secretly competing with each other.
They are not satisfied with just having a spot!
What I care about most is which volume and which number!
Gu Chi, as the main writer, was leisurely and relaxed, with no signs of anxiety. While thinking about how to write, he secretly used his peripheral vision to look at Bai Su. Bai Su didn't want to pay attention to him, and ate seriously. His movements looked slow, but in fact the food in the bowl was Descending at a speed visible to the naked eye, until Gu Chi got annoyed and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"
Gu Chi finally waited for Bai Su's question and straightened his posture: "Shaoxuan is curious whether the first volume will be on the list?"
Bai Su said: "The Lord has his own plan."
Everything depends on the arrangement.
She said: "You can't embarrass your superior just for the sake of false reputation. Being too persistent can easily damage the harmony between ministers and officials, so you can't do it."
Bai Su didn't know how many seats there were. He only knew that there were so many people who had followed the Lord from humble beginnings to the present that it was difficult to arrange seats.
"Chu Shangshu and Qi Zhongshu are two certain things."
Gu Chi's smile froze: "Where are the others?"
Bai Su said: "There is no distinction between equals."
Gu Chi's back molars were almost broken. He wanted to give Bai Su a reassurance, but she stabbed him in the back.
What does "equal equality" mean?
How can I be equal to others?
Obviously he and Chu Wuhui are on the same level!
Bai Su looked at Gu Chi, who seemed to be broken, and sighed: "I made a mistake. You are the one who is determined. Don't make a fuss."
Gu Chi: "..."
He silently glued the pieces back together.
He said sourly: "Shaoxuan, I will be there for you."
Bai Su raised his eyes in surprise: "The Lord told you?"
Gu Chi said: "Men and women in this world should also know the truth that women cannot practice cultivation. It is not because heaven prefers anyone, nor because women are born with defects. Our General Bai of Kang State is a real heroine, and he can do it!"
Just because you don't fight or grab doesn't necessarily mean you really don't have the intention.
It may also be due to a little lack of confidence in my heart.
Bai Su turned away and said, "Major General, you've said it all. If I believe you and I don't know you anymore, how are you going to explain it?"
Gu Chi: "Then I will write a biography for you alone."
Worshiped from generation to generation, the incense is endless.
Bai Su looked startled, showing a rare shyness.
"I still care about the Lord."
Gu Chi's face dropped: "My lord, I will also ghostwrite this one."
Bai Su smiled and patted his forehead with the handkerchief.
"Since it is the king's order, do you still dare to be lazy?"
Gu Chi sighed and took off the veil: "Oh."
Writing novels is just a hobby for him to pass the time. Once it becomes a task assigned by his superiors, its nature changes. He has to rack his brains to beautify and polish it for his colleagues. To give a typical example, the bad things Qi Yuanliang did,
How to praise him?
Inexplicably, I feel the grievance of being forced into prostitution, and being oppressed into a lowly person.
Those who knew that it was not their turn this time were more relaxed. After Qian Yong and Wei Shou finished their work, they could still sit on a curb and drink. The fire in King Gao's capital destroyed the people's hearts, and the remnant troops from all over the place took it down without much effort.
Now, the few rebel armies have become useless. Wei Shou, Qian Yong and others are having a smooth sailing these days.
Qian Yong poked Wei Shou with his elbow: "Old Wei, that matter has been spread all over the world, why haven't you done anything? Are you really not moved?"
Wei Shou said: "It's boring. As long as Chu Jie doesn't appear in the first volume and doesn't stand in front of me, I can appear in any volume."
Qian Yong clicked his tongue: "This is a bit difficult."
Wei Shou's face looked stinky to the naked eye.
He asked unhappily: "What about you?"
Qian Yong sighed: "People must have self-awareness."
Shen Youli chose him for the first volume because he has a bad mouth?
