Wei Datong waved down, and his assistant quickly ran up the embankment.
The assistant was also carrying a small package containing various drawings, but this time Wei Datong took out not the drawings, but a booklet.
Jin Feng took the pamphlet and discovered that it turned out to be a stack of newspapers.
To be precise, it was a stack of cut-out newspapers.
During the summer vacation of the first grade of junior high school in Jin Feng's previous life, the summer homework assigned by the teacher was to make a newspaper clipping book, which meant cutting out the content from the newspaper that he thought was interesting and binding it together.
At that time, Jin Feng's family was in a difficult situation and could not afford to order newspapers. In order to complete this task, his grandfather went to the rag factory in the town and plucked a large bundle from the rag pile for him.
Jin Feng had been sensible since he was a child and knew that it was not easy for his grandfather to find newspapers for him, so he spent most of that summer vacation among the newspapers.
It was also during that summer vacation that Jin Feng saw the outside world from newspapers and made up his mind to study hard and go see the outside world.
So Jin Feng kept that album of newspaper clippings, but he never expected to see a second album of newspaper clippings in this world.
"Master Wei, do you still have the habit of cutting newspapers?" Jin Feng said with a smile.
"The construction of water conservancy projects will benefit the country and the people. Wei is honored to be involved in it. When I saw the relevant reports, I cut it out. From now on, this will be the heirloom of my Wei family!"
Wei Datong's eyes were full of pride and a little embarrassed: "Mr., I made you laugh!"
"No, no!" Jin Feng waved his hand and said: "This family heirloom is the most unique and meaningful one I have ever seen! I believe Mr. Wei's descendants will be proud of you!"
"It's all thanks to Mr. Wei's cultivation," Wei Datong saluted Jin Feng: "If it weren't for Mr.'s promotion, Wei would have been exiled to nowhere."
This is not Wei Datong's flattery, but the fact.
When Danzhu led his troops to plunder everywhere around Xichuan, the grain depot of the Transportation Department in charge of Wei Datong was not spared either.
Although he reacted quickly and delivered most of the food to the ship in advance, the food depot was destroyed by the Tibetan soldiers.
Although the main responsibility for this matter does not lie with him, according to Dakang regulations, Wei Datong still has a great responsibility as the person in charge of the grain depot. At least one exile cannot escape...
Fortunately, he met Jin Feng and Ninth Princess, and helped Jin Feng transfer the bodyguards, and made great contributions in the Battle of Xichuan. Jin Feng asked Ninth Princess to write a letter to plead for him, and he escaped the disaster.
Therefore, Wei Datong has always been very grateful to Jin Feng and considered Jin Feng to be the most noble person in his life.
Jin Feng smiled and opened the newspaper clippings book.
The newspaper clippings were full of reports related to water conservancy. Jin Feng looked at the date and found that the earliest issue could be traced back to the first issue of Jinchuan Daily.
In that issue of Jinchuan Daily, it mainly introduced the basic overview of Sichuan and Shu. It only briefly mentioned Dujiangyan in one paragraph, but Wei Datong still cut it out and used red pen to mark out the paragraph about Dujiangyan.
The content is marked.
For a long time, there were not many reports about Dujiangyan. Until the completion of Dujiangyan last year, Chen Wenyuan published a special issue, introducing in detail the functions of Dujiangyan, as well as the significance and impact of the construction of Dujiangyan.
Later, because the military expenditure was too high, the Ninth Princess wanted to stop some of the work-for-relief projects. However, stopping the project suddenly would bring huge backlash. The Ninth Princess approached Chen Wenyuan and asked him to first distribute the funds through Jinchuan Daily
Get the news out and warm it up.
Chen Wenyuan thought for a few days and asked the Ninth Princess for instructions. He wanted to try to call on the people to participate in the work-for-relief program for free.
After receiving the affirmation from the Ninth Princess, Chen Wenyuan did not immediately call on the people, but adjusted the main reporting direction of Jinchuan Daily to the northern battlefield.
The battle of defending the city of Yuguan City and the battle of Brass Valley were already very tragic, but under Chen Wenyuan's exaggeration, they became even more tragic.
When they learned that Dang Xiang and the King of Qin had combined hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege Jinfeng with tens of thousands of people, the people of Sichuan and Shu were all angry.
After more than half a month of guidance, Chen Wenyuan began to call on the people to participate in the work-for-relief program, build Sichuan and Shu in their own way, and support Sichuan and Shu behind the scenes.
After Xiaoyu learned the news, she also arranged for the Zhongming team to cooperate in publicity.
The people of Dakang were originally simple and honest, but they could not withstand Chen Wenyuan and Xiaoyu's double deception. Soon some people actively refused to receive wages after finishing their work.
Everyone has a herd mentality. Once someone takes the lead, others will soon follow.
Gradually, free participation in work-for-relief programs became a new trend in Sichuan and Sichuan.
"Chen Wenyuan's mind is really dirty, he actually deceived the people like this!"
After Jin Feng read the newspaper, he couldn't help but laugh and curse.
Allowing the people to participate in the work-for-relief program for free, in Jin Feng's view, meant that the court was taking advantage of the people. As a result, under Chen Wenyuan's guidance, this became a very honorable thing, and many people even started to compare with it.
"Sir, Mr. Wei thinks Mr. Chen is not deceiving the people." Wei Datong shook his head and said: "In history, people have to do corvee service. Sir and Your Majesty are kind and treat the people well. It is reasonable for the people to want to repay them.
In the final analysis, it is the benevolent policies of Mr. and Your Majesty that have won the hearts of the people."
"Okay, if you hold me down any longer, I will really float to the sky!"
Although Jin Feng scolded Chen Wenyuan, he agreed with him in his heart, but he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.
"Sir, if you want to see this place clearly, the best way is to go to heaven!"
Wei Datong said: "How about I find an airship to come over and let's go up and have a look?"
When Jin Feng heard this, he felt a little moved.
After thinking for a moment, he reached out and called Hammer and asked him to call the eagle over.
Eagle was originally the captain of the flying team. After following Jin Feng back from the north, Guan Xiaorou proposed reinstating Eagle Officer, but Jin Feng vetoed it.
During the operation in Jindi, the flight team led by Yingying was completely wiped out. Although there were objective reasons, Yingying, as the captain, did not make the correct response in time and must be punished, otherwise he would not be able to lead the team in the future.
So Jin Feng asked Eagle to start as an ordinary pilot again, and Eagle had no objection to this.
Eagle was the first escort to come into contact with hot air balloons, and his flying skills are among the best among all pilots.
This time when Jin Feng was traveling, the Ninth Princess asked him to drive an airship to escort Jin Feng.
Along the way, the airship driven by Eagle flew at the front. That is, when taking a break, other airships would take over, allowing Eagle and the others to come down to rest and replenish fuel.
At this time, Eagle had just gotten off the airship. When he learned that Jin Feng was looking for him, he quickly ran over.
"Sir, do you have something to do with me?"
"Get ready, Master Wei and I are going to take an airship and go to the sky to survey the surrounding terrain!"
