Chapter 1151 Chapter 1151: Diamond Ring, Biography of Famous Ministers and Celebrities (Part 2) [Ask for monthly ticket]
For Shen Tang, being a king has always been a side job.
The real main occupation is painting.
Because of her obsession, she invested heavily in the research of the paper mill from the period of Heyin County, to Longwu County, and then to the period of Fengluo, the capital. No matter whether Shen Tang was fighting a war or managing people's livelihood, or whether her financial situation was tight or not, she never cut back on the research and development funding for the papermaking mill. The papermaking craftsmen have lived up to her trust. In more than ten years, they have changed the formula and proportions tens of thousands of times, improved the technology thousands of times, and constantly tried new materials to make better paper.
Truely achieve the effect of being tough but moisturizing, smooth but not slippery.
When writing, you have both physical and mental strength, and when you paint, you are full of energy.
The paper mill also started to make a profit from the gold-eating beast that could only enter but not get out.
This is Shen Tang’s own small treasury. She has announced that half of her output this year and next will be used to print pamphlets praising the civil and military affairs of the Kang Dynasty. How generous is this? From ancient times to the present, which king has not pursued fame and wealth? Who is not suspicious?
Who can endure the fact that his ministers are so outstanding that they shock their master and their reputation spreads far and wide? I wish I could stand out and no one else could steal the limelight from me.
But the master 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 benevolence. This is unheard of and unseen. Even if it is not as famous as 'Biographies of Famous Ministers and Famous Scholars' Being popular all over the world can also attract a large number of people to follow. If it gets out of control, I'm afraid..."
Shen Tang asked: "What are you afraid of?"
Chu Yao sighed and said, "I'm afraid they will fail the Lord."
It's not that Chu Yao deliberately gave his colleagues eye drops behind their backs, but that the Lord's preferential treatment was too generous, so generous that it could make people feel elated and even get carried away. They are even more afraid that the popularity among the people will be too great, and they will eventually rely on the situation to seize power and threaten the prestige of the Lord.
People will 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?
Heart-beating!
Precisely because Chu Yao himself was moved, he was even more afraid that others would lose control. No matter how much you make money, you will make it. There is no need to leave such a big hidden danger. He said seriously: "Please, Lord, think twice before you act!"
Shen Tang was stunned by what he said.
Nearly being 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 suspicion, we assume the worst outcome. It is obvious that "a flower blooming alone is not spring, but a garden full of colorful flowers"? Some princes like a single flower, but I am different. It is better to have a flower in the palace. "
This is just like going on stage to compete for the C position and forcing others to put on makeup. Is it useless to use the mediocrity of others to set off your own wisdom? As everyone knows, birds of a feather flock together and people flock together. How high can the master's IQ be if he spends his whole day fighting with a group of unknown people?
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 are loyal to?
How can so many talents be defeated if they are not outstanding people?
Shen Tang could imagine his reputation among the people rising again: "Furthermore, the content of the interview will definitely involve my first encounter with them. 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.
There is no harm in being narcissistic in private, but in front of the whole world praising herself, Shen Tang can't open her mouth. There is no pressure to carry private goods in the "Biography of Famous Ministers and Celebrities". If Shen Tang doesn't praise herself, others will praise her. Praise from others is more authentic.
Chu Yao: "...the same is true."
As long as the Lord does not suffer any loss, it will be fine.
Shen Tang smiled a little bit: "That's right. You don't know who your master 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 create an annual or semi-annual publication. The length of each volume is not too long, and each volume has a fixed number of people."
Hand the carrots to keep everyone motivated to 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 diamonds be linked to the content? "
Shen Tang held his chin: "...let me think about it."
People in this era don’t even have 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 own products. How to accurately target the audience without finding the core of the product?
Merchants in the previous life tied diamonds to love.
Targes young people’s yearning for eternal love.
Copy it exactly?
This is a dead end.
Love is a luxury for people in troubled times. It needs peaceful soil and abundant materials to take root and sprout. It would be good if ordinary people can live. What is love?
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 ministers!”
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 two or three nationalities in one generation, the monarch always hopes that his ministers will be loyal to him, and the leaders of the warlords also hope that their ministers will be loyal! The ministers will also cater to this expectation.
Is there anything wrong with placing your expectations on hard diamonds?
There’s nothing wrong with it!
In the past, gentlemen were more virtuous than jade, which was gentle, moist, and benevolent. Since jade can be a symbol of virtue and integrity, diamonds cannot be a symbol of loyalty? The hardness of this thing is perfect. Perfectly hitting the master's itchy flesh! Which lord is not confused after hearing this?
With this as the core, other meanings can be extended.
For example, the love of brotherhood and the righteousness of close friends.
Shen Tang didn’t even dare to think how good the sales would be.
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?"
With blinking eyes, the word "choose me" was written all over it.
Chhu Yao: “…”
Let him reject the Lord, and he cannot bear it.
Let him recommend the Lord against his will, which would be a disgrace to his colleagues.
He thought: "Yuan Liang 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 out your beloved?"
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 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 joins, I can also share the burden for Yuanliang."
In fact, this matter does not necessarily require Qishan to take action.
It is not easy to find a master of the same level as him in Kangguo, but it is easy to find a bunch of inferior masters. Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man! Shen Tang has his own selfish motives and hopes that Yuan Liang can take the opportunity to get closer to his colleagues and improve his favorability.
This booklet was successfully published. Who doesn’t owe Yuan Liang a favor?
Chu Yao nodded and wrote down.
Even Wu Xian, who was immersed in the state of losing his loved one, was alarmed.
∣
The saliva almost choked the trachea. Wu Xian coughed loudly: "What did you say?"
Shen Youli didn’t show up for five or six days in a row. How could she finally show up and 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 had seen a monster: "Shen Youli, she is crazy!"
Wu Xian’s old minister looked envious.
The envy in his eyes almost overflowed.
Leaving aside Shen Youli's harsh treatment of the family members, other aspects are really impeccable. Who joins an official career not to support his family and gain 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, what awaits them is the monarch's suspicion, and they will live in trepidation for the rest of their lives. He was afraid that if the monarch caught him making a mistake, it would bring disaster to the whole family.
Who doesn’t want fame and popular support?
I want it but I am afraid of losing my life.
Shen Youli did the opposite. If people really give, they will give generously! No matter how hard it is, I personally lift the minister up!
The old minister felt more and more sad the more he thought about it.
Putting yourself 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, the old minister saw Wu Xian's face and suddenly realized that he would actually have such an idea. He immediately restrained himself, for fear that Wu Xian would see it and think too much.
Wu Xian said quietly: "It doesn't have to be like this."
He is not the leader of the high country now, he is just a prisoner.
The future depends on how Shen Youli arranges him.
The old minister's face was full of shame.
But he heard Wu Xian curse in a low voice: "I'm envious of him too."
It’s not that I envy the people who were promoted by Shen Tang, but I envy 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 period of time and push his own prestige to its peak, he still wouldn't have the courage.
No other—
Firstly, the risk is too great, and secondly, it is reluctant to give up.
Ask yourself, which king can be so generous?
Wu Xian couldn't do it, so he was filled with envy, jealousy, and sourness.
The old ministers of Gao State were envious and envious, and the ministers of Kang State were anxiously looking forward to it.
The number of places in the first volume is limited, and the important ministers don’t have enough places, so it will definitely not be my turn. The second, third and subsequent volumes can still be thought of. Looking back on the civil service evaluation over the years, some people are happy and some are worried! The depression is short-lived, get back to work quickly!
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 having a quota!
What I care most about is which volume and which volume it is!
Gu Chi, as the main writer, is relaxed and relaxed, without even the slightest hint of anxiety. While thinking about how to write, he secretly looked at Bai Su with his peripheral vision. Bai Suben didn't want to pay attention to him and ate seriously. The movement looks slow, but in fact the food in the bowl is falling at a speed visible to the naked eye. Until Gu Chi got annoyed and said, "What are you looking at me for?"
Gu Chi finally waited for Bai Su's question and straightened his posture: "Shaoxuan is not 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 the Lord for the sake of false reputation. Being too persistent can easily damage the harmony among ministers and officials, and 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 his humble beginnings to the present that it was difficult to arrange a seat.
“The book of Chu Shangshu and the book of Qi Zhong are two certain things.”
Gu Chi’s smile froze: “Where are the others?”
Bai Su said: "There is no difference between them."
Gu Chi’s back molars were almost broken. He wanted to give Bai Su a reassurance, but she stabbed herself 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's not because heaven prefers anyone, or 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.
Maybe it’s because of a little bit of unconfidence in my heart.
Bai Su turned away and said, "Major General, you have said it all. If I believe your words and I don't have myself when I turn around, what are you going to say?"
Gu Chi: "Then I will write a biography for you alone."
Hooded 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 am also the ghostwriter."
Bai Su smiled and patted his forehead with the handkerchief.
“Since it’s the king’s order, how dare you be lazy?”
Gu Chi sighed and took off the veil: "Alas."
Writing novels was just a hobby for him to pass the time. Once it turned into a task assigned by his superiors, the nature changed and he had to rack his brains to embellish it for his colleagues. To give a typical example, how can Qi Yuanliang be praised for all the bad things he did?
There is an inexplicable grievance of being forced into prostitution, and oppressed into a lowly person.
Those who knew that it was not their turn this time were more relaxed. Qian Yong and Wei Shou were able to sit on a curb and drink after they finished their work. The fire in King Gao's capital shattered the hearts of the people, and the remnant troops from various places were able to capture it without much effort, and the few rebel armies were also insignificant. Wei Shou, Qian Yong and others are having a good time these days.
Qian Yong nudged 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 get into the first volume and doesn't stand in front of me, I can get into any volume."
Qian Yong clicked his tongue: "This is a bit difficult."
Wei Shou's face was visibly pale.
Asked unhappily: "What about you?"
Qian Yong sighed: "People must be self-aware."
Shen Youli chose him for the first volume because he has a bad mouth?
