Chapter 367 The princes also need to run newspapers (Part 2)
Jiangdong, in Shanyin County, the capital of Kuaiji County. Not long ago, Sun Ce captured Kuaiji County and Wang Lang surrendered. Since then, Sun Ce has occupied Kuaiji County, Wu County, Danyang County and some Yuzhang County.
Originally, Liu Yao was just an existence that could be destroyed casually, but Liu Biao sent troops to support him, and Huang Zu, Wen Pin and other generals were in charge. Sun Ben, the younger sister who was sent to attack Yuzhang, could only maintain a stalemate.
"First this way, divide Yuzhang County and set up Luling County, and Sun Ben will be the prefect of Luling County!" Sun Ce discussed with his ministers and decided to decide the county magistrates of several counties in a decisive manner.
For example, he served as the county magistrate of Kuaiji County, his uncle was the county magistrate of Danyang County, Zhu Zhi was the county magistrate of Wu County, and Sun Ben was the county magistrate of Yuzhang County, and the four counties of Jiangdong were also considered to be in his hands! The only problem is that just like Liu Zhang, his appointments were not legal! From beginning to end, they were not recognized by the court!
"Lord, the third issue of the Dahan Weekly, and the first two issues, were sent back by our people in Xudu... and at the same time, they also brought back the imperial decree, saying that they hope that the prefects of each county will pay for money and buy a batch of such newspapers in the future, and then distribute them to each county... You see, do we want to buy them?" Qin Song, a counselor, made a comment.
"What is that?" Sun Ce has been fighting and does not care about these issues. Many political matters are directly left to his sister Sun Quan.
"Brother..." Sun Quan was reading the newspaper at this moment. When he saw Sun Ce mention it, he got up. "I just read it and found that this newspaper is interesting. It contains local customs and cultures, and strange stories. I can understand the world's major events without leaving home. At the same time, there are health care, which can help people prolong their lives. There are novels, which are interesting. It is rare to have comments on the classics, and it is even more annotated by the great scholars. It is very rare! But what I fear most is the front page and the second page of the content..."
"Oh, let's talk about it? Forget it, show it to me..." Sun Ce directly asked for the first issue.
"Oh, are you really pregnant? I heard that Taiyi Shen fell into a dream before. Your Majesty was pregnant by himself without marriage. He thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect it to be true!" Sun Ce looked at the title, and then immediately showed a surprised expression.
I immediately looked through it and found that there were some news about the court policies, local infrastructure, eliminating some thieves, and eradicating some bullies.
"Just this, can you feel afraid?" Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan.
"Brother, the first issue is naturally nothing, but the second and third issue are different!" Sun Quan handed over the newspaper.
"...So that's it. We're going to take action against us!" Sun Ce's IQ is online, but his temper is a bit strong, and he has to follow his everything. Many things are done by his likes and dislikes, which makes him seem a little reckless... But there is no doubt about recklessness.
Just looking at the contents of the second and third periods, you will know that this is the court's questioning of the local county magistrates and governors. Especially for him, he had no official positions from beginning to end, and then he directly conquered the four counties of Jiangdong and became the local tyrant.
"We just conquered Kuaiji County, and many people are still grateful to Wang Lang, so if such newspapers are passed on, the place will be unstable. In fact, if it is really a matter of fact, Danyang County, Yuzhang County and Wu County are not very stable." Sun Quan shook his head.
"This kind of newspaper cannot be distributed in Jiangdong. It is forbidden! It must be forbidden!" Sun Ce immediately had an idea.
"The problem is that this newspaper also exposed a problem, that is, we are currently real but have no name!" Sun Quan reminded.
"What should I do?" Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan. Since she proposed it, she must have an idea.
"Send someone to Xudu!" Sun Quan looked at Sun Ce, "Send some gifts and very sincere documents, saying that the Jiangdong Sect was rampant in the past, and the thieves were constantly thieves, and the local mountains and rivers were plaguing the enemy. As Han ministers, we could not ignore all this. However, the situation of Your Majesty is unclear, so we can only follow the power in a hurry. Now Jiangdong is determined, and the appointment of specific officials will be left to Your Majesty to decide..."
"Ha?" Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan with a strange look, "What do you mean is to let us get out the four counties that have been defeated?"
"Lord, the second lady's meaning is not like this. No matter who the court appoints, in the area of Jiangdong, we have the final say, but we are not the ones who have the final say. If we use it together, we will always have a way to let the other party leave. In the end, it is our own people!" Zhang Zhao came forward to advise.
"The key is to be justified, and the court cannot say anything more!" Sun Quan added, "and we can also make suggestions and recommend some of our people in the past. For example, the current ones..."
"It's true that he is my sister!" Sun Ce figured it out, and naturally he felt much better. Indeed, in this situation, the first sequence of enemies Cao Cao had to face were those around Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and Lu Bu.
As for him, even threatening Yuan Shu in the rear. It is already good that Cao Cao would not come to win him over. How could he directly deprive him of his power? Yes, writing a letter will be even more beneficial! If you focus on development, no one knows him in the end!
"There is another thing..." Sun Quan looked at Sun Ce, "Brother, I think... we also need to run a newspaper!"
"Indeed!" As soon as Sun Quan finished speaking, Zhou Yu came forward. "The newspapers are very important to guide public opinion. We occupy Jiangdong, but the wealthy families here are deeply rooted. We can hardly avoid them in governing our country. The people trust them more than us. The newspaper is good. As long as it is promoted properly, we can win over a group of wealthy families and even gain recognition from the people!"
"The key is that the comments in the scriptures can give more people the opportunity to learn. If you continue to do it slowly, Jiangdong will be full of talents and read newspapers for a long time, you will be loyal to us... Why worry about the uncertainty of Jiangdong?" Zhang Hong came forward.
"Didn't you two decide to run a newspaper? Then why are you asking me what you are doing?" Sun Ce was unhappy.
"Hey, brother is the leader of everyone. If you don't make a decision, who dares to make a decision?" Sun Quan persuaded, "Besides, we have discussed the initial publication... Wealth will probably cost a lot, but considering the long-term returns, we can still invest."
"So that's the case, it costs money, right? But we still have to use troops to Shanyue and continue to attack Yuzhang. The military expenditure is already quite large..." Sun Ce was a little embarrassed, especially the navy had to expand, and shipbuilding was a huge expense.
"Squeezing can always be squeezed out. The key is to invite several families who have a good impression of us to invest in us, such as the Zhu family and the Gu family! By the way, I heard that the eldest daughter of the Gu family went to Xudu to become an official?" Sun Quan thought for a while.
"Yes, it's called Gu Yong. I went to Xudu a few months ago. This person is young and talented. He originally planned to recruit him, but it's a pity, it's a pity..." Zhang Zhao sighed.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Zhou Yu shook his head. If he could pull the Gu family into the water, he could use Gu Yong's relationship to contact Xu Du.
"This is..." Zhang Zhao nodded when he heard this, but this can only be regarded as a remedy, and relatively speaking, talents are the most valuable.
It’s fine if a family can produce tens of thousands of guan, but an excellent talent can make the local tax of more than 100,000 guan. The key is that it is available every year. After comparing it, you will know who is more important!
