Li Tai left with a satisfied heart. This satisfaction was not only because he had listened to novels all afternoon today, but also because when he left, he also took away a "luxury car" that he had dreamed of.
Watching the little fat man leave in triumph, Li Zexuan called Sanbao and ordered: "Sambo, call a few people to pull out four carriages and send them to Qin Mansion, Cheng Mansion, Yuchi Mansion and Niu Mansion respectively. Tell me, Master." During the lockdown period, it is inconvenient to go out, so please forgive me!"
"Yes, Master!"
Sambo agreed.
"Well, remember to be polite. Oh, by the way, you can take another car and take it to the East Palace!"
Li Zexuan thought for a while and said.
"yes!"
Sanbao took the order and left.
"Xiao Xi, come and help me grind the ink!"
... ... ... ... ... ... ...
In the study room.
Li Zexuan was writing hard. He was writing a letter to Ma Zhou, explaining some things. Not only what Li Tai had just said about recruiting merchant ships to go south with the army, he also had a lot to tell Ma Zhou about the novel section of "Datang Daily". .
Meng Wenhao's attitude towards novel authors today is a warning to Li Zexuan. It seems that whether in modern times or in ancient times, writing novels is considered by many people to be unprofessional and worthless!
No wonder "Datang Daily" has been published for so long. Except for some great scholars writing articles and spitting at each other in the "Literati Interaction" section, basically no one writes novels for "Datang Daily".
This is not okay. If everyone thinks so, then who will write novels in the future? In the future, Li Zexuan plans to stay at home, sleep with his wife and read novels
Therefore, he is now writing a hype plan for the rise of the novel to Ma Zhou and encouraging everyone to contribute to Datang Daily.
At this moment, he felt that being grounded by Li Er was not such a wonderful thing. Otherwise, he could just go to the workshop in person and explain it clearly to Ma Zhou in person, so why bother.
"Okay, Xiao Xi, you go find someone. While the workshop door is still open, ask him to ride a fast horse and quickly deliver this letter and these manuscripts to the workshop and hand them over to Ma Zhou!"
Nearly half an hour later, Li Zexuan finished writing and put the letter into an envelope, then put the rest of the manuscript into a large paper bag, handed it to Xiao Xi, and said.
Fortunately, their home is not very far from the workshop. Otherwise, if the servant went to deliver the letter at this time, he might not be able to make it back.
"Well, Master!"
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..
Qiquge Workshop.
Nowadays, Ma Zhou has also recruited many scholars as assistants. Most of these scholars are frustrated people who failed the imperial examination in the Imperial College. The editorial department of Qiqi Culture has taken shape. At this moment, they are determining the layout of tomorrow's newspaper.
"Guanshi Ma, do you think this layout is okay?"
A middle-aged scribe, about thirty years old, walked towards Ma Zhou and asked, holding several pieces of paper filled with words.
Ma Zhou took it and looked at it seriously. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Well, very good. Just follow this layout and deliver it to the printing department and let them start printing. Then our editorial department will get off work today!"
"Okay~!"
When the others saw Ma Zhou nodding, they all breathed a sigh of relief. God knows how many times they were sent back by Ma Zhou to redo their plans every day because of layout problems. Although the salary offered by Qiqi Culture was high, the requirements were also high. !
"Master Ma! Master Ma! Master Li has sent a letter!"
The person who came was none other than Pang Feiji. This unlucky guy failed to ask for favors from Sun Huaiyuan last time and was almost exposed. Later, he was arranged by Yuchi Jingde to be the "security chief" at Funny Culture, which was actually a higher-end concierge. Li Zexuan listened to Yuchi Jingde's slightly warning words that day and felt that not only the fun culture, but also the safety of the workshop needed to be taken seriously, so he asked the "security brigade" led by Pang Feiji to be divided into two groups, one part responsible for the other. The other part is responsible for the safety of Qiquwen and the safety of the workshop. Anyway, Yuchi Jingde said that this group of people will be dispatched by him, Li Zexuan, so there is nothing wrong with his arrangement.
After this guy was assigned, he usually ran in both directions. On the side of Funny Culture, in order to make up for his image in the eyes of Sun Huaiyuan, he was very diligent and rushed to do everything. At first, everyone else was worried. Damn it, Pang Feiji is robbing their jobs by doing this! So in the past two days, Sun Huaiyuan clearly felt that the workers in the workshop were much more motivated to work than before.
However, Pang Feiji is not greedy for petty gains but is serious and very loyal. After all, this guy has been in the army for so long and is very experienced in dealing with people. There are really not many people in the workshop who have received his small favors in the past two days. Young man, everyone calls him "Brother Ji" (or "Brother Chicken") in private.
In the workshop, Ma Zhou, another big boss in the workshop, is of course also the target of "Brother Chicken", so even if Sun Huaiyuan tells Li Zexuan about his "dirty information", there will still be someone to help him when the time comes. If he talks, he won't die too miserably, right? Today, "Chicken Brother" happened to come to the workshop to "jump around". When it came to delivering a letter to Ma Zhou, "Chicken Brother" did not hesitate to take away Song Xiaosi's job and came to deliver the letter himself.
Ma Zhou curiously took the large bag of documents, opened it, and said politely: "Thank you Pang Sige!"
"Hey, it's okay, okay, Master Ma, please take your time and watch, I'll go down first!"
"Brother Chicken" is very worried. He has to make up for the sins he has done on his knees. Now that the handle has fallen into Sun Huaiyuan's hands, he has to pretend to be his grandson in Qiqi Culture and the workshop!
"Um!"
Ma Zhou nodded, and "Brother Chicken" slowly retreated.
Ma Zhou opened the paper bag and took out the envelope and the manuscript of "A Mortal's Cultivation of Immortality". He first put the manuscript aside, then opened the envelope, opened the letter, and read it carefully.
Except for the occasional noise from other people packing their things, the room was silent for a while. After a while, Ma Zhou put away the letter and said to the "editors" who were packing their things and getting ready to go home from work: "There is no need to pack it away. There is no need to send the typesetting just now to the printing department. It will all be retyped. Today I’m afraid we won’t be able to go back later!”
"Ah~? Why is this like this?"
"Guanshi Ma, what happened?"
"If we don't go back now, where will we stay tonight?"
"Yeah, if you don't leave, there will be curfew in no time!"
The "editors" below were dumbfounded when they heard this. Even though they knew that Ma Zhou had a high status in the workshop, they still couldn't help but refute such a rude request.
"Ahem, my boss has new instructions. Tomorrow's newspaper must be reprinted. Everyone, please work harder and finish it as soon as possible. Then rest in the workshop. Today's day's salary will be calculated as five times the usual!"
It's really unkind to ask others to work overtime temporarily. Ma Zhou thought about it and decided that he could only use money to increase everyone's passion for work!
"Wow! Five times~! Did it!"
"Do it, do it!"
… … … … …
I have a very important interview tomorrow. I really want to join this company. I hope they will like me. I hope everything goes well! Tomorrow's update will probably be very late, so please forgive me!
Thank you for the two forgotten rewards! Thank you Mo Hai Shen Dian for the reward again and again!
Thank you Huan and Empty City for your monthly pass!
