Summon players, rebuild Dawei

Chapter 88

This is the smallest house in Yanqi. It is not spacious but exquisite. It is surrounded by gray and quaint wooden corridors. The garden scenery is also very beautiful, especially the big pine tree with spreading branches and leaves planted in the atrium. It has been sharpened after a cold winter. , appearing extraordinarily green and rich.

Stepping into the courtyard, Jiang Shu couldn't help but see the pine trees, and commented: "The layout of the garden here is very wonderful. I don't know who lived there in the past."

No matter whose residence it used to be, this empty house has now become the product research and development center of the cosmetics factory.

Since the goal is to make a lot of money, just setting up a small workshop is definitely not enough.

Therefore, just like the textile factory, the cosmetics factory invested by the government has also selected an empty mansion to build a factory building and recruit employees. It may become another representative industry in Miryang in the future, but at present, this new factory is still in the stage of product development. stage.

Jiang Shu still attaches great importance to things that can make money for the government. At the same time, he also wants to see whether the players he chooses are reliable, so he brought a few guards to this small town alone during the Shangsi Festival holiday. Court inspection.

He came suddenly, and he didn't notify the officials in charge of this area. Mu Qiyan ran out to greet him only after the guard at the gate went in to notify him.

Although the name of "Brother Shu" is active on the forum every day, it is the first time to have such a close contact with this popular NPC.

Mu Qiyan had a premonition that she was about to become a member of the big players, uncontrollable joy kept overflowing from the corners of her upturned mouth, and she led Jiang Shu around the studio beamingly throughout the process.

"This is the first batch of products I'm going to release, and they're all in this work plan." Mu Qiyan took the lead in showing him around his office. "The products are mainly divided into four parts, lip makeup, eye makeup, and eyebrow makeup." Makeup and primer, of course, makeup tools are not counted, and a few classic main colors will be released at the beginning, and more makeup products will definitely be added on this basis in the future.”

Jiang Shu didn't know much about cosmetics, so she nodded while listening.

Looking through her work plan, seeing that the goal was still very clear, she asked, "How long will it take to make all of this?"

"It won't be long. In just half a month, we have almost figured out the lip makeup. If it goes well, I estimate that our factory will be able to start production in two months." Mu Qiyan estimated Dao, suddenly mentioned again, "By the way, can I ask to cooperate with the government's pencil workshop for the eyebrow pencil?"

The pencil workshop was originally set up specifically for the county school. It was a small workshop separated from the wooden workshop, and now it has been producing pencils in small batches.

Jiang Shu nodded: "Yes, you can ask the officials here to contact you."

Mu Qiyan clapped her hands and said, "That will save a lot of trouble."

Coming out of Mu Qiyan's office, walking forward is the workshop for developing lip makeup products. There are several newly recruited employees, all of whom are local aborigines, who are carefully making samples.

"Look, these are a few product samples we've made these days." Mu Qiyan took out a few exquisite samples and explained, "It's mainly these three models, one is in this kind of lip paper, and one is in a box. Put about [-] sheets, and you can buy a single sheet if you are short of money. Then it is in this small round box. Open it and you will find lipstick. The packaging is relatively simple. There is also a tubular one with a clever design. Push out the lip balm inside."

Jiang Shu watched her demonstrate how to push out the lipstick and then take it back, as if she saw how women in later generations use lipstick.

"Fujun, do you want to try it?" Mu Qiyan handed him the sample with an eager expression.

Jiang Shu took the sample, opened the lid of the lipstick and tried to turn it around.

Maybe it's because the outer shell is made of wood, so there is more resistance when turning, but this tube-shaped lipstick sample is indeed very similar to the lipstick in his impression.

"Don't look at such a small design. We communicated with Mufang for a long time, and they made it after drawing more than a dozen sectional drawings. This shell will cost the most, and it will definitely be the most expensive one at that time, but I dare Guaranteed, it is definitely the most popular one." After speaking, Mu Qiyan looked at him brightly, obviously waiting for a compliment.

The other party really put a lot of thought into this matter, Jiang Shu naturally wouldn't be stingy with a word of praise, and said with a smile: "The product design is very innovative, thank you for your hard work."

"Hey, it's okay, it's not hard..."

After being praised so much by him, Mu Qiyan became a little shy instead, pointing to the rough lipstick casing in his hand and muttering: "Actually, this is not a complete finished product now, and the casing will need to be coated with a few more layers later." Now I am looking for a master to make a sample, and the final surface will be the black wood grain style that is as smooth as jade.

"However, in this way, its time cost and labor cost are very high. It must not be mass-produced. It will probably take the high-end route. I don't think a lipstick can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars just by the shell..."

"Oh, by the way, we also need to engrave our brand's LOGO!" Mu Qiyan suddenly raised her hand and asked, "Fujun, what do you think is a better name for our cosmetics brand?"

Jiang Shu glanced at the green name above her head, and said casually, "Let's take 'Qiyan', your name sounds nice."

After all, he casually put the lipstick sample in his hand back to its original place.

On the side, Mu Qiyan's cheeks suddenly turned red, and when Jiang Shu turned to watch the craftsmen making samples, she quickly opened the forum to post.

[Mu Qiyan: Ahhh, I seem to be falling in love with this NPC! 】

This kind of gossip-filled post immediately attracted many replies, and everyone asked which NPC it was.

Mu Qiyan rubbed her cheeks, secretly cut Zhang Jiangshu's profile photo and posted it on the forum.

[Li Zhede: Brother Shu, it's okay.

j976vc: If I don't play games, I would have guessed it was him, Nikkei post.

65gf0n: Although, this NPC is really good-looking, when can I enter the game to see it, 555~

Bai Sha: I also love Brother Shu, the handsome ones are all my husbands.

Seeking Defeat Alone: ​​I also love Brother Shu and the tasks he sent.

Yu Xuehuan: I love Brother Shu, and I love his wife even more, Haas Haas...

hug688: Upstairs!Madam begging for food!

Bi Sheng: I love and hate him at the same time!Why!I have spent huge sums of money to change my name, why don’t you even give me a movable type printing task, it’s really cruel...]

Jiang Shu didn't know anything about his own discussion posts on the forum. After inspecting the progress of cosmetics research and development, he returned to the county mansion in a bullock cart.

When he arrived at the gate of the government office, he happened to meet Bu Jingyun walking quickly from across the street.

Jiang Shu waited at the door for a while, and when the other party came in front of him, he asked, "Is the general stepping here to look for me?"

Bu Jingyun nodded, looking serious.

Seeing that he seemed to have something important to do, Jiang Shu said, "Go in and talk about it."

After a while, the back hall of the official office.

Ziming brewed two cups of green tea with the boiling water in the pot, and put the two cups of hot tea with floating tea leaves on the desk in front of Jiang Shu and Bu Jingyun.

I don't know when, such a simple and refreshing way of drinking tea became popular among county officials.

"In half a month, the Xiongnu will send troops to attack Wu County." Before Jiang Shu could ask, after taking his seat, Bu Jingyun directly cut to the point.

"News from Yin Yunying?"

"Ah."

Jiang Shu frowned slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"

Bu Jingyun shook his head: "There is a lesson from last time, the Xiongnu must have guarded the rear very tightly, we can't take advantage, if you have to give advice, my suggestion is to wait and see what happens, and develop your own power as soon as possible .”

Jiang Shu nodded, touched the side of the teacup and said, "I'm fine, I'm afraid someone can't wait."

He was referring to Xun Ling, of course.

Jiang Shu asked himself, if he was standing in Xun Ling's position, seeing the Huns attacking his father's territory, he must be anxious, wishing he could rush over to help.

Bu Jingyun understood what he meant, and said: "If Captain Xun sends a letter asking for an alliance, ask him whether he is aiming at helping his father or taking back the Xunzhou territory."

Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's the difference between the two?"

"If it's the former, we don't need to accompany them. Their purpose is to force the Xiongnu to send troops back to help. They will not stop until they achieve their goal. Such a battle is too expensive and will not benefit us.

"If it's the latter, we might be able to make a plan to regain some territory, but no accident, the speed of seizing the city will be very fast. The Xiongnu have not heard the news, and we have already regained the territory, so we will not be able to achieve what Captain Xun wanted. effect."

Jiang Shu caught the point: "Do you have a plan to get back the territory?"

Bu Jingyun responded and said, "Do you still remember the spies sent by the Huns?"

Jiang Shu thought for a while before reacting: "Using spies to spread fake news?"

"Ah."

"But are you sure those spies will obey our orders and won't cheat secretly?"

Bu Jingyun paused, and said: "I'm sure, because those who disobeyed are already dead."

Jiang Shu took a breath, and asked after a while: "But this strategy can only be used once, right? And after using it, the spies are useless."

"Spies don't matter, it's just that this method can only take back one or two cities at most. To regain more territory, we still have to rely on a large army and military equipment," Bu Jingyun analyzed, "Our army's training time is too short. This winter has received a lot of refugees into the camp, the weather is too cold, and they have not trained seriously, so if it is not a last resort, I still suggest waiting."

Jiang Shu understood what he meant. If he really wanted to go out to fight the territory, he would simply go out and attack all the territory in Xunzhou at once. It's just that it doesn't make much sense to take back the two small cities, but it will only increase the consumption.

In the end, he nodded and said, "I see, just follow your ideas. If Xun Ling sends a letter, I will explain the truth to him."

·

Half a month later, the Xiongnu sent troops to attack Wujun. Sure enough, Jiang Shu received a letter from Xun Ling asking for another alliance.

He wrote a letter euphemistically stating that the situation on his side is not suitable for battle at the moment, and he also asked the other party to think about it for the people of the two counties. A protracted war will inevitably require food and grass. Grain is hard to come by.

Not long after he sent this letter, he received several messages from various places within two days.

On the west side, the Di people's army aggressively captured Shangli County in Xizhou, and then launched an attack on Yunlian County. If successful, it would completely cut off the supply of Yuanyou's army in Yongzhou and Jiangzhou.

In the south, the King of Huaiyang declared that the Kong clan and his party members had committed rebellion and rebellion, so he sent troops to fight against the traitors. Then the King of Southwest and King Pingjiang also responded one after another, holding high the banner of "the side of the Qing Dynasty" and preparing to enter Hengchuan eastward.

At the same time, a large-scale peasant uprising broke out in the southwest of Lingzhou.

The rebel army called itself the "begging army". The leader, Duan Yingxiong, chanted the slogan "The princes and generals are better than each other", and led three thousand low-level refugees to capture the control of Wengu, the county town of Luoyu County. Occupying the county mansion, the prefect Cuan Fu and his relatives and family members were beheaded for public display, and their heads were hung high on the city wall, where they were cast aside by thousands of people.

Jiang Shu was stunned when he heard the last news.

The first two things were within his expectation, after all, they were all plots of his own design, but the peasant uprising was completely beyond his expectation.

Duan Yingxiong is Jiang Shu, who has some impressions. The help post posted by the other party on the forum has caused heated discussions. He even sent the other party a mission to rescue Tian Nu, a Luoyue man who was imprisoned, and watch him complete the task. After that, Jiang Shu stopped paying attention.

Unexpectedly, in less than a month, this person has silently developed a peasant uprising army of thousands of people and established his own territory!

This operation made Jiang Shu also have to sigh from the bottom of his heart!
