"But I used to be brothers with him."
"That's the past." Mrs. Yao Er said, "In the past, he was just an ordinary businessman, but now he has transformed into the legendary Prince Chong of the Emperor. I don't know how many people are rushing to hug his thighs... And you, as long as you call him uncle, you can hug your thighs. This is a good opportunity for many people to pick them up. Do you think you should pick them up?"
"Uh...if I say no, wouldn't it be a bit stupid?"
Mrs. Yao Er nodded.
Mr. Yao couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
Why is this happening?
It should be his brother, but why did he become... elders?
Could it be that when he sees Prince Chong in the future, he really wants to call him "Uncle"?
"Don't you often write letters to Prince Chong? If you really can't figure it out, please write a letter to ask him, and you will be like that anyway." Mrs. Yao Er encouraged.
Before Prince Chong's identity was exposed, Mr. Yao wrote letters to Prince Chong from time to time. Now that Prince Chong's identity was exposed, Mrs. Yao naturally wished that her master would be closer to the other party.
With such thick legs, her mother's family will have a better life in the border.
"good."
...
Mr. Yao really wrote this matter into the letter and asked Li Wenchong for his opinion.
According to Master Yao's idea, it would be better to discuss it separately, otherwise he would be embarrassed to "shout" to say it when he saw Li Wenchong.
But what he didn't expect was that when Li Wenchong saw his letter, he was immediately happy and wrote "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority."
When Qingzhu saw his master happy, she said, "Master, why are you laughing at? It's not the old lady's letter."
"The second master asked me if I should call me uncle when I see me in the future?" Li Wenchong said with a smile.
"Is that so? If he really shouts, wouldn't he be one step closer to his master's goal?" Qing Zhu also felt happy for Li Wenchong when he heard this.
Since his master knew about Gu Qingling's existence, he had been struggling for several years, but he had never brought anyone back.
Sometimes, Qingzhu regretted it. If he had known that the old lady was so difficult to deal with, he should have kept his eyes a little sharper and picked a young girl who could handle it better.
well……
I was afraid that the young girl would die in the carriage and scare his master.
Fortunately, Li Wenchong didn't know what Qingzhu was thinking, otherwise he would have knocked his head with a book.
After replying, he sent someone to Jinling with the reply letter to Gu Qingling.
"Have you not arrived yet?"
Qingzhu was about to speak when a servant came in and said that Mr. Yao was here.
"Well, please come in."
This is not the first time Mr. Yao has come to Li Wenchong. Since the relationship between the two families is openly placed, Li Wenchong will invite him to visit the mansion from time to time.
With the promotion of movable type printing technology, the Yao family has improved more and more cheap papers, and more and more people are eyeing the Yao family in Beijing.
Gu Qingling and the others were far away in Jinling, and there was no big feeling, but Mr. Yao stayed in the Hanlin Academy and had no time to visit their department. Not only did he say that there were more people visiting him, but even more people met him by chance on the road.
Among them, there are many women who sell themselves to bury their father and fall in front of Mr. Yao’s carriage.
Mr. Yao, who had little experience, almost got involved with these women, but in the end, Li Wenchong came forward to help solve the problem.
Mr. Yao is very grateful for this.
After saluting, Li Wenchong asked him to get up.
After asking about Mr. Yao's recent situation, he talked about the fact that Mr. Yao made a pencil and notebook in Jinling, and handed the letter to Mr. Yao, so that Mr. Yao would be mentally prepared.
Uncle Yao was stunned. He, the Yao family, knew about this, but why did Prince Chong know before him?!
When he saw that the letter was written by the old lady, Mr. Yao was convinced.
What's going on with him?
Such an important thing, if you don’t write to yourself, you actually wrote to Prince Chong?!
In his mother's heart, is his own son not reliable yet?
"Really, fake? This thing is so amazing. You can write without dipping ink?!"
Not only did Gu Qingling's handwritten letters, but also newspapers in Jinling clearly showed how big a trend the emergence of pencils and notebooks caused in Jinling.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. There has not been any news from the capital yet, but the adults and children in Jinling have used pencils.
Especially the people at the bottom, they especially like pencils and think that this thing is much easier to use than that brush. It is not only easy to carry and write, but also very cheap, which is simply a "weapon".
"It is indeed a powerful tool. The appearance of this thing will make reading easier." Li Wenchong stared into Mr. Yao's eyes and said, "You should be aware of what your mother is doing. From movable type printing to paper, to the emergence of pencils and notebooks... a large number of books, cheap paper and pens, make it easier for ordinary people to read. I believe that in the near future, not only will there be many literate people in Jinling, but various places of the Ming Dynasty... By then, there will be a rebound in the Shijia."
There is no response now, but they are not.
One is that Jinling is originally located in Jiangnan, known as the rich. There are many wealthy businessmen there. Whoever has good family conditions will find ways to let their children study. Therefore, there are more scholars in Jiangnan.
One is "dark under the light".
Originally, there were many scholars in Jiangnan, and Jinling attracted businessmen all over the world because of Gu Qingling's economic development. There were also many scholars here who lived or studied abroad.
Everyone is in it and can meet scholars when they walk, and everyone is used to it.
One is that Gu Qingling has never been the banner of "enlightenment and wisdom". She just sells newspapers and books to do business, and makes her business prosperous. When the locals saw that in addition to the merchants running to them, the scholars who were studying also ran to them. In order to talk to scholars, they would unconsciously learn a few words so that they could talk to scholars.
In addition, Gu Qingling has taken various prize-friendly activities to "promote", the people who are going to go for prizes are particularly active, such as old men and old ladies.
For an egg and a coupon, they will force their grandson to memorize a poem today and a poem tomorrow, just to win the "prize".
Using "profit" to lure the people is an obvious business means.
Everyone only sees that the Yao family's business is booming and prosperous, and few people think about what it means.
Another thing is that these things only happened in Jinling. Li Wenchong consciously surrounded some news and did not alarm people outside Jinling. In addition, Emperor Mingguang gained some benefits from Gu Qingling and consciously concealed the movements there, so...
The gentry officials in the capital had no idea that in just a few years, Jinling had become another appearance.
But no matter how much you hide it, you can't hide it from everyone.
There is no airtight wall in the world. Li Wenchong knew that as Gu Qingling's actions became more and more, the little things about Jinling would sooner or later come out.
The rebound caused by that time will inevitably be extremely large.
He talked to Mr. Yao about it. In addition to let Mr. Yao be mentally prepared, he wanted to discuss with Mr. Yao what to do next.
Mr. Yao was a little confused: What should I do next?
How could he know?
His mother never told him, okay?
