Chapter two hundred and forty nine

After a month of hard work by the Publications and Publications Department, the first issue of the Changjiang Newspaper was first placed on the Lantian case.

Jiang Wan was careful when running the newspaper for the first time, and the content was simply divided into four sections according to Lan Tian's suggestion.

The most conspicuous position of the Changjiang Newspaper, that is, the upper right area of ​​the paper, the main page under the registration, introduces Liu Bei's invitation to Sichuan, gathering with Liu Zhang in Fucheng, and finally attacking Zhang Lu in the Jiameng Pass area, describing Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness in concise words

.

The lower right position introduces the drought situation in Jingnan, Lantian inspects Lingling and Guiyang counties, and each county actively fights drought to ensure grain harvests, etc.

The upper left position introduces external news such as Nanhai County forcibly confiscating food from the people, the people fled Hepu with their families, Cao Cao cut off his beard and abandoned his robes at Tongguan, and the people in Guanzhong suffered another misfortune.

In the lower left corner is the character column, which praises loyalty and warns against evil deeds. It is also the part where Jiang Wan metaphorically comments on the first day of the month.

The remaining blank corners of the newspaper were decorated with carnations, bamboos, chrysanthemums and other decorations, as if they were blackboard newspapers created by primary school students.

"This is the most important part of the newspaper. Although the newspaper and newspaper office has collected a lot of information, I dare not make any independent opinions due to my humble position. I would like to ask you, sir, to make your decision."

Jiang Wan took out the content collected by the newspaper and newspaper office. These were all information that he had selected. However, due to his lack of experience in running newspapers for the first time, the backgrounds of the people he selected were relatively simple. In addition to officials at all levels, they were rural celebrities, and they were basically limited.

In Lingling County.

After a brief reading, Lan Tian slapped his notebook and said: "Gong Yan must remember the purpose of running a newspaper and take a longer-term view. Although these people you selected have merit, they are not representative. I want to

It should be a role model that leads people to be good, and it should have a deterrent effect of punishing the guilty."

"Please sir, please clarify my doubts." Jiang Wan bowed and bowed.

"There are all living beings in the land of Jingchu. How can we only focus on the officials and celebrities? Craftsmen, Confucian scholars, farmers, doctors, and soldiers all have praiseworthy virtues." Lan Tian looked at him with deep eyes.

Jiang Wan nodded slightly as if he had some understanding, and Lan Tian continued: "I will give you a start in the first issue of the Yangtze River News. Guiyang County Linwu Commander Xu An is diligent in government and loves the people. His virtues can set an example for officials, and Gongyan can send people there.

Linwu collects information."

"I'll do it right away." Jiang Wan was overjoyed.

Looking at Jiang Wan's retreating figure, Lantian stroked his beard and said to himself: "Xu County Magistrate will soon make a name for himself in Jingxiang, and I don't know how many people will cross the threshold of the newspaper office..."

Towards the end of the year, Lai Gong and Shi Zhi secretly went to Lingling on Ustin's merchant ship.

The entire Jiaozhou was affected by drought. In both Jiaozhi and Yulin, the rice production was significantly reduced compared with previous years. The people could not pay their taxes in full, and the morale of the entire county was very low.

After the merchant ship entered Shi'an County, the scenery on both sides of the road was beautiful. Shi Zhi had no intention of sightseeing. His attention was attracted by the people gathering straw.

Why do the people here have smiles on their faces? Didn't Lingling County suffer from drought?

"General Lai, the people here feel very different. What kind of person is General Lan?" Shi Zhi asked doubtfully.

Lai Gong shook his head and replied: "General Lan is very comparable. Lai has met countless people in his life, but he has not seen through him. His talent is immeasurable..."

"Is Lingling not affected by the disaster? Why are these people so full of smiles?" Shi Zhi asked again.

"Just look at the river below you. The water level in the river is much shallower than last year. The land in Lingling is also scorched by the scorching sun. However, General Lan has many clever tricks in his administration, and there may be ways to resolve the impact of the drought." Lai Gong analyzed.

Counties in Lingling took advantage of the drought to clean up the silt, so the river became wider after entering Shi'an County. Passenger ships passed through the river like crucian carp, and there were small docks every twenty or thirty miles.

The people living by the river carried cooked food and drinks to the wharf for sale. It was convenient and comfortable to travel by boat. This was an eye-opener for scholars, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Shi Xie sent Shi Zhi to Quan Ling to express his goodwill, and the gifts he prepared were the same as those of Sun Quan. In addition to the rich seafood in Jiaozhou, there were also jade, ivory, rhinoceros horn, pearls, tortoise shells and other treasures.

Lan Tian saw that Shi Xie was so sincere, so he held a banquet in the prefect's mansion to entertain the visitors, and asked Gao Shun, Gan Ning, Samoko, Jiang Wan and others to accompany him.

"You all come to meet the distinguished guests from Cochin." Lan Tian told everyone.

Jiang Wan took the first step and cupped his hands and said, "I am Jiang Wan, and I am currently the head of the Lingling Publishing House."

"I have admired you for a long time." Shi Zhi bowed his hands in return. He didn't know what the newspaper office was, but the person who could appear on such an occasion today should be an important official in Lingling.

"My name is Samoko, you can call me Lao Sha." Samoke said, patting his chest.

After Lu Tan brought back Lantian's order, Shamoko left half of the barbarians in Yulin, and the remaining four thousand people returned to Wuling in pieces. He planned to rest in Quanling for a few days before returning to Chenyang.

Shi Zhi swallowed his saliva and joked with a smile: "I thought the general's appearance was extraordinary, so I thought he was the legendary Lingling General Xing Daorong..."

Lai Gong quickly added: "Although General Sha also has a beard and a black face, he is the Wuxi barbarian king of Wuling County. The Jiangdong soldiers who invaded Yulin were repelled by the Wuxi barbarians. The Xing Daorong you mentioned has long been killed.

Beheaded..."

Shi Zhi was stunned when he heard this. Wuxi Barbarians were famous all over the world, and the status of this barbarian king was not low. He was actually subdued by Lan Tian and even brought his own troops to Jiaozhou to fight. How did Lan Tian do it?

"Nice to meet you..." Shi Zhi bowed awkwardly.

Gan Ning looked at the little old man in front of him and said meaningfully: "My dear Gan Ning, I killed that General Lingling..."

"General Gan only used one move to kill Xing Daorong from his horse..." Lai Gong continued to add.

"I have admired you for a long time... I have admired your name for a long time..." Shi Zhi's expression was dull, as if he had been knocked down by a knife.

Gao Shun followed by cupping his fists and briefly introduced himself: "Gao Shun, Gao Boping."

"Nice to meet you..." Shi Zhi gently cupped his hands.

Shi Zhi was still enveloped in Gan Ning's aura and did not come out, so he acted lightly when saluting Gao Shun.

Upon seeing this, Lai Gong whispered in his ear: "General Gao is the leader of the trapped camp..."

"Why are you trapped in the camp?" Shi Zhi's attention was drawn back and his face was full of doubts.

"Is it possible that Young Master Wen has never heard of Lu Bu's fall into the camp?" Lai Gong looked incredulous.

Shi Yi asked in surprise: "Will the ambition to be trapped in the battle lead to death or life?"

"Of course."

"But I heard that after the White Gate Tower, the eight hundred warriors have disappeared..."

Lai Gong had a smile on his face: "General Gao is the leader of the trapped camp. As long as he is in the trapped camp, he will not disappear. And now it has expanded to ten thousand people."

Shi Zhi was over sixty years old and short in stature. He looked so small in front of the tall and mighty Gao Shun. Shi Zhi raised his head and looked at this heroic general, and felt more and more how majestic Gao Shun was.
