After Jiang Pengji finished speaking, the scene fell into a suffocating silence.
Cheng Cheng had to admit a fact.
He was moved.
Jiang Pengji's words hit Cheng Cheng's weak spot and pinched his lifeline. Even if he was born into an aristocratic family, he could not refute every word she said. It was like the golden words of a saint, and the future would prove that what she said was true. It was a prophecy. How could mortals refute it?
When the audience in the streaming room suspected that Cheng Cheng and Jiang Pengji had pressed the pause button, Cheng Cheng asked her in a hoarse voice.
"Aren't you afraid of being smashed to pieces?"
Jiang Pengji smiled. "What's the big deal about being smashed to pieces? Even if I'm nailed to the pillar of shame in history, no one can stop me from doing what I want to do! Life is only a hundred years. I don't want to regret it when I'm old. Whether I'm famous in history or infamous for thousands of years, it's impossible for people to live without desires. It's just fame and fortune. For ordinary people, after two or three generations, even the descendants would forget the name of their ancestors. But if I live in history, no matter who mentions my name, they must remember that there was such a person. "
She had reached the peak in her previous life. How could she be willing to be ordinary and unknown in this life?
If she wanted to make trouble, she would make it bigger. Not only did she want to influence the present for decades, but she also wanted to change the history of the next hundreds or thousands of years because of her.
Unify the nine states and ascend the throne?
That was not enough!
Cheng Cheng could not help but smile bitterly. "Young people, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."
He had thought that Liu Xi lived in Liu She's shadow and followed in his footsteps. Now it seemed that she had long reached a realm and a realm of thinking that was difficult for all people to reach. Arrogant and arrogant, there was only one person who dared to use his life to stir up the storm of the times.
Jiang Pengji said calmly, "The future will prove that I'm right. Whether it's ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years, I can wait."
Cheng Cheng was surprised. He knew the real meaning of Jiang Pengji's words. She did not mean that she could live for so long, but she believed that she was right. No matter how far in the future, future generations would prove that she was right … How confident was she?
"Forget it!" Cheng Cheng calmed down and realized that his hands were still shaking, and his breathing was disordered as if he had run a long way. His undershirt was already soaked in sweat. "I'm old, and I don't have the energy to play with young people."
Cheng Cheng hadn't been convinced by Jiang Pengji. The audience in the streaming room couldn't help but complain in the bullet screen.
The anchor's hot-blooded and chuunibyou words just now made them feel hot all over and their blood was boiling. Why was Cheng Cheng still indifferent?
Scheming Yang Xixi: "Heh, the host's ever-successful trick has finally hit a wall. Everyone should celebrate."
Loyal and Honest Ye Buxiu: Tsk, young man, you're wrong. I'll bet a pack of cigarettes on the streamer.
Laosiji Lianmeng: "Hey, can you change your IDs?" You can't be so ruthless, right? Heart piercing!
[Eloquent Zhou Zekai]: Keep up with the times, keep up with the trends, and never change.
[Hand Speed Expert Yu Wenzhou]: # tendersmile, I've already changed.
Guicai Guofengxiao: "To the one above, you should change back to your original ID. This time, your ID is even more ruthless."
Jiang Pengji didn't understand their jokes, but looking at the bullet screen, she could mostly guess that these IDs were the products of natural ruthlessness.
Host V: "Loyal and Honest Ye Buxiu, you've guessed correctly."
As soon as she sent this bullet screen, Cheng Cheng, who seemed to have rejected her, spoke again.
"Even a young man like you isn't afraid. Why should an old man like me, who has one foot in the grave, be afraid?"
Other than true scholars, others couldn't understand how attractive Jiang Pengji's blueprint was to Cheng Cheng.
A warrior would die for a bosom friend.
Without a doubt, the teenager in front of him was the "bosom friend" that Cheng Cheng had been searching for half his life.
Cheng Cheng said with a complicated expression, "I only hope that you don't disappoint your original intentions and don't forget what you said today."
The road from humble to supreme was too long, and there were too many temptations. Cheng Cheng didn't know if the future Jiang Pengji would still not disappoint her original intentions when she looked back. Could this teenager withstand all kinds of temptations? From the beginning to the end, would he not change his original intentions?
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "Of course."
Of course she wouldn't change, because for Jiang Pengji, that was faith.
From meeting Cheng Cheng to successfully persuading him, Jiang Pengji spent more than an hour. Her achievements were still brilliant.
When Xu Ke heard the news, he couldn't help but tease her.
"My lord, you're successful in every endeavor."
Qiguan Rang secretly rolled his eyes. He didn't think it was something to boast about.
Jiang Pengji threw something to Xu Ke and said lazily, "Don't be happy too early, my big accountant."
The bamboo slip floated into Xu Ke's arms. He looked a little confused.
A newcomer had joined the overtime team. Why couldn't he be happy?
Xu Ke curiously untied the bow on the bamboo slip. When he unfolded it to take a look, his expression almost cracked into pieces.
"My lord …"
Qiguan Rang heard a trace of grief and indignation in Xu Ke's voice. He couldn't help but step forward curiously. He stuck his head out to take a look.
"What is this …"
He looked at it as he asked. Soon, he saw it from beginning to end. He silently lit a row of candles for Xu Ke in his heart.
"A proposal," Jiang Pengji said. "I want to hire Mr. Cheng to oversee the overall situation … Whether it's opening an academy or a library, 'books' are the most important. I've divided the newly designed printing technique into two types. One is' movable type 'and the other is' engraving '. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. 'Movable type' is more convenient and flexible, while 'engraving' is exquisite and clear. As for which one to choose, it's up to Mr. Cheng's decision. "
Xu Ke pulled a long face.
He thought that Cheng Cheng came over to share the burden with him. In the end, he threw him a heavy task that was as heavy as a mountain.
Whether it was the "movable type" that Jiang Pengji had mentioned before or the "engraving" that she was now dictating, which one of them wasn't a project that burned money?
Once this aspect was involved, in the end, it would all be piled on him. After all, he was the "housekeeper."
Xu Ke was quite sensitive to numbers. After calculating the cost, he couldn't help but be speechless.
Jiang Pengji saw the pain on his face. She said calmly and firmly, "I know that it will cost a lot of money, but this plan is the same as the post-war pension. Even if I have to sacrifice everything I have, I will complete it. Regardless of the cost, regardless of the cost, I will fully support Mr. Cheng. "
No one knew better than her how much economic benefits and political influence the popularization of books would bring to society. It could even change the social structure and tear apart the last fig leaf of the gentry. Even if it caused a reign of terror and thousands of lives were sacrificed, she would still do it.
Contributions to the present generation would benefit the future generations.
In her opinion, anything that could push the entire society forward was worth a try.
Even if she, as a pioneer, had to pay the price with her life, she would take it!
Xu Ke's expression was solemn. He replied in a clear voice, "Yes, Sir!"
Jiang Pengji rubbed her eyebrows. Ever since she received the news from Cheng Cheng, she had rushed back with all her might. She hadn't rested until now.
"I'll go rest for a while …"
Jiang Pengji lowered her eyes and was about to leave when the messenger came in to report.
Cheng Yuan had come to visit.
