Chapter 152 Mu Yu Xiaoxiao Chengdu in August (Part 2)
“... From the early years when newsprint was opened to the rule of Chengdu, especially after the people’s government was established last year and attracted worldwide attention, the newspaper industry in Chengdu has been prosperous. Today, our statistics of various industries
Such newspapers—including tabloids circulating privately, there are more than 250 types in Chengdu alone.”
"This is the prosperity caused by the opening up last year, but now, it has actually caused a lot of chaos. Some foreign scholars, who are very wealthy, have written articles, but the big newspapers cannot publish them, so they just make their own small newspapers; some
The newspapers are deliberately going against us. They publish articles without any investigation. They appear to be recording the truth, but in fact they are purely fabricated to discredit us. We have banned several such newspapers, but there are still some...
"
"There are also those who don't seem to be working against others, but are just messing around, such as "Tiandu Bao". The name seems to be very formal, but many people privately say that it is a daily newspaper, legends, gossips, etc.
Making up news about Hu Zou, every issue of the newspaper looks like that, but you don’t know which one to believe. The true and false are mixed together, and it turns out to be false..."
"So, these things need to be rectified, but in order to be famous as a teacher, we must first have a more detailed set of regulations to stipulate these things. It's not that you are not allowed to write fantasy novels, but you must clearly mark it in front and not mislead others.
Describing things and expressing opinions need to be clearly distinguished and cannot be completely confused. The formulation of this set of regulations is what we will discuss next. We will try to compile the first draft of it within this half month..."
The next morning was a meeting of the Propaganda Department. The meeting occupied a conference room on the second floor of the newly built conference building. The window of the meeting place was bright and clean. Through the glass window on one side, one could see the green and yellow on the tree crown outside the window.
On the leaves of trees, rainwater accumulates on the leaves and slowly drips from the leaf tips.
This is the most important meeting of the Propaganda Department in August. It was chaired by Yong Jinnian, and Shishi took notes on the side.
"... Regarding this matter, we already issued a document last month, so we have collected a lot of opinions, and they have been archived one by one here." Yong Jinnian said, reaching out and patting the archive booklet printed on the side.
And below, every participating member has already placed these in their hands.
"...So next, we will just work hard. Every day, we will work overtime for half a day to hold meetings, discuss one by one, express our own opinions, and then summarize and discuss again after the discussion. During this process, if you have any new ideas, you can feel free to do so at any time.
Say it. In short, this is the basis for us to manage the newspaper in the next many years. Everyone should pay attention to it and do our best."
"Okay, let's start discussing the most important thing, the first one..."
The water droplets spread down the bright window. Its route is winding and unpredictable, sometimes meeting other water droplets, taking a few quick steps, and sometimes stopping somewhere on the glass, refusing to drip.
At this time, not many people in the conference room were interested in paying attention to this interesting scene.
The entire newly built conference building has five floors. At this moment, many conference rooms have crowds of people gathering. Most of these meetings are boring and boring, but the people participating still have to work hard to participate and understand everything in between.
They are weaving some key things that may affect the Southwest and even the entire world.
If the disturbance of all things in the world is a storm, this is one of the cores of the storm. And in many years, it will probably be the largest one.
The autumn rain stopped briefly.
On the street not far outside, carriages were still passing by. They stopped at the platform. People in the large carriages filed down, going back and forth, and the crowds from left to right intertwined in the square outside, faintly.
Occasionally, after the rain stopped, a child's cry came from the bushes.
The first meeting lasted the whole morning. After lunch, the most core people in the meeting, including Yong Jinnian and Li Shishi, conducted another round of closed-door summary to once again sort out the direction and framework of the discussion in the next half month.
After the meeting, Yong Jinnian and Shishi laughed and talked about Yong Jinrou's pregnancy.
"... Qu Qing came over a few days ago and sent Zhang Cun's self-examination summary. After the meeting, the chairman... Oh, I wanted to send Qu Qing back immediately, but... he told him that many women were pregnant.
What I learned later was that Xiaorou was not young anymore, so she had to pay attention to this and that. Qu Qing was originally a rough guy, so he was frightened. He ran to the military hospital to find Mrs. Wen, who knew how to deliver babies, and asked them one by one.
Once again, Wen Po was very carefree, saying that as long as she was in good health, nothing would happen. We women from the Chinese Army are not the rich ladies who usually stay at home... Qu Qing didn't know who to believe, and he didn't know who to believe.
I had to buy a bunch of supplements and go back. In fact, Xiaorou was not in good health in the past, but she has been trained in the Huaxia Army for so many years. Now when she is in class in Zhangcun, all the teachers are looking at her to see if anything big can happen to her."
The master also laughed: "He is a man. He doesn't know anything about women. He is just worrying blindly."
"The chairman also cares about people. But in this matter, he is a little too careful."
The teacher said: "Mrs. Jin'er never had a child."
"Yes." Yong Jinnian nodded, "A ruthless man may not be a true hero. How can a pity be a child but not a husband? This is right."
The two chatted for a few more words at this time, left the conference building, and then walked in different directions. Shishi walked to the west along a road with big trees on both sides and not many people, and passed through a gate.
Walking past the pond with a simple garden, there is a courtyard hidden in the woods. There are figures walking under the eaves. In the rooms of the courtyard, there are different secretaries communicating with outsiders or working at their desks to sort documents. This is the center of the storm.
the core point.
At this time in the afternoon, as long as there is no unexpected time, Ning Yi is usually not too busy. When Shishi walked over, he was sitting on a chair under the eaves, taking a cup of tea in a daze, and the tea table next to him
There is a simple map and pen and paper for writing and drawing.
"Is the meeting over?" Ning Yi didn't turn to look at her, but looked ahead and said with a smile.
"What are you planning again?" Shishi smiled and put today's meeting minutes on the table. Her words didn't have any extra meaning, because there were a lot of people coming and going in this office, and nothing was done.
There was no room for personal matters. The two of them met here occasionally, and they were limited to reporting on work or chatting.
"I'm thinking about how to write an article to scold Jia Ding, who has been confronting me in newspapers recently... Oh, he has a lot of dirty information, but it's a pity that I can't expose it." Ning Yi tilted his head and said, "I want to
"Making trouble" smile, Shishi is already familiar with this side of him in private.
"Don't mess around, we are having a meeting here, be careful we come up with a clause and arrest all of you who write articles anonymously."
"Don't fool me. I've talked with Master Yong about why pen names are forbidden." As the actual mastermind behind the scenes, Ning Yi rolled his eyes and was so arrogant that Shishi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
At this time, the intermittent autumn rain had stopped for a long time. Looking out from the eaves where Ning Yi was sitting, among the trees not far away, the falling sunlight showed a golden rainbow above the pond. The two sat and watched for a while. Ning Yi poured tea for her, and Shishi held the tea cup.
"Two days ago, Hou Yuanyong said that Brother Yu would come to see me, and he did come yesterday," she said.
"Did anything interesting happen?"
"There's a problem over there with Yan Daolun..."
Shishi sat sideways and talked about things about Yan Daolun and Yu Hezhong in a calm tone. Ning Yi listened and raised his eyebrows: "It doesn't matter whether you can control Yan Daolun or not, but if you can control it, Of course that’s fine.”
"Liu Guangshi is at war over there. If we delay the delivery for so long, will there be any problems?"
Ning Yi turned to look at her: "What do you think?"
"Of course the first thought is that you don't want Liu Guangshi to win easily. The longer they fight, the more money we make."
Ning Yi smiled, and after a while, he shook his head: "If this is true, of course it is a good thing, but Liu Guangshi's side has already shipped a lot of military supplies. To be honest, even if it happens next, Even if you don't give him anything, you can support him until next year. After all, he is wealthy and generous. The preparations for this Northern Expedition to Bianliang are quite sufficient, so delaying it for a month or two is actually not a big problem overall. Liu Guangshi will not go crazy over this matter."
"...Then if it's not for this reason, it's another..."
Shishi said this in a low voice. She did not break down the speculation in her heart, because it may involve many additional things, including a large amount of work of the intelligence department that cannot be exposed. Ning Yi could hear the caution in her tone, but shook his head and laughed. Laughed.
"It's not a big secret. The General Staff's initial deduction included this guess."
He held the tea cup, looked at the pond in front of him, and said: "The so-called troubled times, when the world collapses, heroes rise together, dragons and snakes rise, during this period of time, snakes, insects, rats and ants all come to the stage to perform for a while. But some of them are really capable, some adapt to the situation, and some are just lucky and become famous when they rise up. This is the same chaos as the fall of the Central Plains."
"But next, the snakes, insects, rats and ants will start to bite in the voodoo cup, whether it is a mule or a horse, they have to be taken out to see the truth. At this time, the rules and gameplay of the troubled times will really come out to dominate everything. In the barrel of a gun Only in order to gain political power, whoever is a coward, who looks fat but is strong-willed and inwardly introverted will be filtered out one after another. This filtering has already begun."
When he said this, he took a sip of tea and Shishi nodded. She remembered what Yu Hezhong said last night, pushing the blame up and down, and trying to make money for each other... In fact, she had already seen these things.
"...Actually, yesterday, I told Brother Yu whether he should move his sister-in-law and children to Chengdu."
"Look, you can feel this possibility without intelligence support." Ning Yi smiled, "What's his answer?"
"He... couldn't bear to leave his two confidante here. He said that these more than a year were the happiest time for him..." Shishi looked at Ning Yi and said helplessly.
Ning Yi nodded: "As long as nothing serious happens, life will still be manageable, but once Liu Guangshi is out, he may not have such a nourishing life now."
"He had money, and he invested it in building factories and workshops. In addition, he also connected with people like Yan Daolun to bring people in from outside."
Ning Yi took a sip of tea: "This is quite smart..."
"Partnering with Li Rulai and the others..."
"Cough cough cough..." Ning Yi put the tea cup aside, coughed several times, pressed his forehead not knowing whether to laugh or scold, and then said: "This... this is... forget it, you can persuade him in the future
, when doing business, if you do things based on your conscience, you won’t be able to make enough money...and maybe nothing big will happen..."
"Yesterday he told me that if Liu Guangshi's affairs were completed, Yan Daolun would give me a thank you gift. He also said that he would help me invest in Li Rulai's business. I was wondering if it would be possible to make a filing first.
, once something happens to Li Rulai, turn him around anyway, and these money will be used to buy him a lesson."
Ning Yi thought for a while and shook his head.
"It's better not to let it go. Once the matter involves your level, the truth cannot be told clearly. When the time comes, you put yourself in and pull him out. Your morality has been exhausted, but who will believe you? If this matter were in another situation,
, in order to protect you, I have to kill him... Of course I am not referring to this matter, this matter should be suppressed, but... why bother? "
The teacher nodded: "Then I will think of other ways."
"Um."
The two sat quietly for a while, and Shishi said: "...Do you really think Liu Guangshi will lose? In other words, delaying it for a month or two just to settle these two accounts? I thought
Is it a bigger strategy..."
"Two accounts are also a lot, and it is already a big strategy." Ning Yi said with a smile, "As for Liu Guangshi, of course there is no conclusive evidence, but according to the intelligence sent back from the front line, although Zou Xu rebelled,
However, the discipline requirements for his troops are still very strict. The two big landowners Chen Shiquan and Yin Zong were almost hollowed out by him, and they were gambling on this. His troops have combat effectiveness, and Liu Guangshidu
After Jiang, several small victories gradually turned into big victories. We felt that Zou Xu was holding back bad things..."
"Private festivals are festivals, but Zou Xu is capable in terms of grand strategy. From the first battle, he must seek complete victory. Now we are too far away from Bianliang
, it is impossible to predict where he will place his winning hand, but if it is a wild guess, 90% of the people who know him in the staff department believe that he will win."
Ning Yi turned around: "So now I don't know how he will win, but I guess he will win."
"...Can't you step in and let them fight for a while?"
"The distance is too far. We initially tried to help Liu Guangshi and make up for some shortcomings. But if you look at Yan Daolun and the others, it's clear... At a real strategic level, Liu Guangshi is extremely fat.
A big fat man, but he is full of flaws. We can't block so many flaws. As long as Zou Xu hits one of the flaws with one punch, he may be killed. We don't have the ability to help him predict which of your flaws
He will be hit, so I have been emphasizing speeding up the early stage of the transaction. Hurry up and ship the things over and pay him quickly. Now... two months has been delayed for two months. If he is lucky enough to survive, the transaction will be over.
Just keep doing it, anyway, their people were responsible for what happened this time."
Ning Yi paused: "So these are the pig teammates. The next group, not to mention the other little warlords who can't understand, Wu Qimei, Tie Yan, Liu Guangshi, once the real swords and guns start fighting, they will be eliminated in the first round
Most of them are on the list. I estimate that if He Wen can still stand after the martial arts competition in Jiangning, Wu Qimei and Tie Yan will be stabbed."
When he said this, he tapped his fingers on the small map on the tea table. Shishi looked down and saw that there were indeed many symbols marked on the small map, which probably represented a certain group of forces, all surrounding them.
Excluding Jiangning, Ning Yi didn't even mark as many things in the direction of Bianliang as Jiangning.
"So you're thinking about what's going on here." She smiled, "Jiangning is so lively. It's a martial arts conference. I heard that Fatty Lin is also there. You actually want to join in the fun, right?"
Ning Yi sighed: "It's just boring to think about it."
"I haven't been back for many years, and I don't know what it has become like."
"After being massacred several times, I guess I can't see the original state anymore." Ning Yi looked at the map, "However, someone helped me look... I guess we are almost there..."
He said this softly, and Shishi thought he was talking about the rumored work team sent to Jiangning. At this time, he talked to Ning Yi about his memories there. Then the two of them stood under the eaves and talked again
Chatted for a while.
This is a peaceful courtyard in the afternoon of autumn. People are coming and going nearby, and the voices speaking are all ordinary, but the teacher knows in his heart what kind of messages will appear here. At this moment in August, the third
The top-to-bottom rectification of the Seventh Army is ongoing, the conspiracy against Liu Guangshi is ongoing, the Ministry of Education in and outside the city is promoting "good learning", departments of all sizes, and countless jobs at the same level are going to
Extend over here.
And major meetings involving the Propaganda Department, which are related to the development of the newspaper industry in the next few years or even decades, have just begun and are not even enough to become a formal report.
There is always peace and quiet in the eye of the storm. Sometimes they chat about a little trivial matters. When the sun falls, the fish in the small pond touch the water and spit out a bubble. But only in places that are really far away from here, in
Only on the scale of tens of miles, hundreds of miles, and thousands of miles will the hurricane's sweeping power explode with truly huge destructive power. There, the roar of cannons, the sight of swords and guns, and the flow of blood stretch into the red fertile fields. People are ready to wait.
Make a profit and start hedging.
That is the scene that is already blooming in the north of the Yangtze River. Next, this huge storm will also come to the long-awaited...
