"Can I ask a question? What is the use of this? As a printed product, it consumes a lot of paper."

"Good question." Wen Du raised his thumb and explained to Zhuge Jin who spoke: "This thing is an important carrier for disseminating news to the public. It has the function of reflecting and guiding social public opinion. Ordinary people are basically in the same place.

People are born and raised in a place until they die. Unless someone spreads it, it is impossible to know something hundreds of miles away. And the current way of spreading is just oral spread among small families, which has no authority.

But if there is a newspaper, it will be different. This is our official news, and they will definitely believe it. We can use this to guide the people and make our future expansion plans correct and moral."

"Oh, to put it simply, we can write whatever we want on it, and what the people see is what we want them to see?"

"Very smart, that's what I meant." After Wen Du nodded to confirm, several people present suddenly changed their expressions and looked a little unhappy. However, Wen Du had expected this situation and explained to them: "I just

We will add some lies when necessary, but we will not use this method to distort the minds of the masses. Can you please stop being so aggrieved?"

Wen Du felt aggrieved when he said this. The emperor was in Yuan Shao's hands. If he sent out troops rashly without a serious reason, wouldn't he be a proper rebel? If he was labeled as such by the history books, he would

I'm afraid he'll be so angry that he crawls out of the coffin and strangles the historian...

The whole room suddenly fell into silence. Everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts. Although Zhang Hong and others understood what Wen Du meant, they had been with the farmers for a long time and knew very well how simple they were, so they deliberately used wrong information to guide them.

Still a little unacceptable...

"Instead of being in a stalemate here, let's take a look at these drafts." This time the speaker was not anyone present, but Dr. Jijiu Li Ru, who was standing at the door and had been in charge of education in an independent office.

Luckily for him, Lu Su walked over quickly and pulled him in, just in time to break the damn silence.

"According to your request, I have drafted a strategy for obtaining meritorious service medals. Do you think it is suitable?"

Li Ru placed the draft on the shared table, which attracted the younger generation to come over and scratch their heads to browse. Generally speaking, it can be roughly divided into seven stages: Rookie Chapter (meeting the requirements for enlistment and having two hands, three legs and cat kung fu)

Novice Chapter (one year in the army)

Entry chapter (two years of enlistment)

Soldier Medal (enlisted for three years, participated in the war for one year, and received five extra coins every month)

Elite Medal (enlisted for four years, participated in the war for one and a half years, and received an additional ten coins per month)

Brave Medal (enlisted for five years, participated in the war for two years, and received an additional fifteen coins per month)

Master Medal (enlisted for six years, participated in the war for two and a half years, and received an additional twenty coins per month)

Legend Chapter (seven years of joining the army, three years of active participation in the war, and an additional twenty-five coins per month)

Those who have retired with meritorious service (those who have been in the army for eight years and have participated in the war for four years in total) can be transferred to the rear and serve as city defense personnel, city patrol personnel, military academy instructors, field doctors, or they can remove their armor and return to the field according to their own wishes.

An additional thirty dollars will be paid every month until my death)

"Okay, it's written in great detail, and the amount given is quite appropriate. Let's implement it according to this standard first. Thank you Wenyou."

"You don't need to thank me. The source of this inspiration is the plan for scholars that Pang Tong gave me. I just took a ride on it. If you want to thank me, just thank him."

Li Ru's answer made Wen Du feel very happy, because Pang Tong was really too worry-free. When he directly asked to skip the school stage and study directly with Li Ru, Wen Du was quite worried about whether he would cause trouble due to his influence.

If Pang Tong comes and hurts Zhongyong, it will be a big loss...

Pulling himself together and putting the bad thoughts behind him, Wen Du said generously: "Okay, isn't that guy clamoring for crabs? I'll ask the chef to make a crab feast for him right away.

That’s enough!”

"Thank you, so he won't bother me anymore for the time being, and I can finally have a good sleep..." Li Ru stretched, and all the bones in his body were shaking in harmony. "I'll take my leave now, and you can go about your business.

"

After sending Li Ru away, Wen Du turned around and ordered Zhou Yu to print a thousand copies of the draft and distribute it to all ministries so that all soldiers would understand this policy, which would boost morale again.

Seeing that things were well arranged here, Mao Jie came to Wendu's table, raised his hands to him and said: "I have something I want to tell the supervisor. Do you have time to listen?

"I just have some free time. It doesn't hurt to say Xiao Xian."

"It's like this. When I was traveling around this prefecture, I met a man named Jiao Jiao in Kuaiji County. The Jiao family is a big family in Kuaiji County. Jiao Jiao has many followers, all of whom have bad conduct and do evil, but Jiao Jiao protects him.

, indulged the retainers, the local county magistrate did not dare to interfere due to the reputation of his family, and did not report it to the local prefect. I argued with him. The county magistrate said that Jiao Jiao was a former county magistrate with a solid foundation and many minions. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress

The local snake even advised me not to meddle in my own business.

But I just can’t stand it, I can’t stand Jiao Jiao’s viciousness, and I can’t stand the county magistrate’s cowardice, so I asked the Supervisory Army to help him get the punishment he deserves!”

"What else is there?" Wen Du was amused. If his planning announcement for the aristocratic family was not completely true, people would really turn a deaf ear. "Bo Ning, go find Gong Ming and Gong Yi immediately and bring some people there.

, wipe out all Jiao Jiao and his party members, send the rest of the Jiao family away from Yangzhou, remove the current county magistrate from office, and select a new person to take up the post."

"Leave it to me!" Manchong, a cold-faced and cruel official, ran away happily when he heard that this was his area of ​​expertise.

"Xiao Xian, Bo Xi (Wei Xi), Gen Ju (Bing Yuan), Yan Fang (Wang Lie), and Zini (Guoyuan), you five will immediately set up an inspection team and send special personnel to each county to check whether there are still such cases.

When the situation occurs, once it is confirmed, he will be immediately convicted according to the law."

"We will obey your order!" Not only Wen Du was angry, but these five people were equally angry, especially Wei Jin. He felt that Jiao Jiao had lowered the standards of the Thirteen States Family by himself. He was left with such rubbish.

What's the use?

"Jin, Ji Gui, you two record this news immediately, and then ask Zijing to take you to the printing factory. In five days, everyone in the city will know, and in one month, everyone in Yangzhou will know. I will let those who dare to cross the border know

The aristocratic families on the front line all know that I am not just teasing them!" He dragged out a vicious sentence, and Wen Du felt happy. Anyway, the recruitment order was issued, and the relationship with the aristocratic family was just like that, so there is nothing good about doing things now.

He took it into consideration. Since someone was shameless, he could just give him a fine drink. It would save trouble.

After a series of vigorous and resolute instructions were issued, Yangzhou, which had been peaceful for a year, once again set off a small disturbance. Man Chong, Xu Huang, and Jiang Qin rushed to Kuaiji, surrounded the Jiao family mansion with heavy troops, and captured the Jiao family.

Jiao Ti sneaked to Caishikou, where he relentlessly pursued and exterminated his gang members. The house was sealed off for public use, and all 355 members of the family were expelled from Yangzhou and were not allowed to return home for the rest of their lives.

When he dismissed the current county magistrate from office and confiscated all his salary, Man Chong made an unexpected discovery. In addition to his usual monthly salary, 50,000 yuan and a box of gold and silver treasures were also searched from his home.

It is precisely because of this that everyone wants to understand why this guy is so indulgent in Jiao Jiao's behavior. His feelings are like accepting bribes, which is a serious crime in itself. And when they meet Man Chong, a selfless and cruel official, there is no way he can tolerate his quibbles and kill him on the spot.

They were all taken to the market entrance and executed.

After all these villains were dealt with, Man Chong summoned the people of the whole county and distributed 70% of the money found to them. The remaining 30% of the team was reserved for his subordinates, but he still let the people call them

For Mr. Qingtian, I greatly enhanced my sense of existence.

As soon as the news came back, Zhuge Jin and Cui Yan immediately made a draft according to the letter and gave it to the printer. Within three days, a thousand copies of the newspaper were produced and distributed evenly to six counties, winning over the masses.

A round of applause.

As for Mao Jie and Wei Ju, the inspection team of the five of them was not idle either. They sent people everywhere to find out the news, and announced that if they found out about the powerful men and women who were bullying men and women and running rampant in the countryside, they could come and report the news to them.

If it is true, each person can receive a reward of fifty yuan.

After this announcement appeared in the newspaper, someone would come and report it every two or three days, and it took about a month to eradicate nearly fifteen small aristocratic families with no brains and powerful ones.

To be honest, Wen Du was surprised by this news. After all, there were less than twenty idiots in such a big place. However, after thinking about it, this also showed that the official prestige was high enough, and no one dared to go there anymore.

He was forced to stay in front of him.

During this period of purge and discipline, representatives of various discerning aristocratic families came to Sun Jian with money, food and grass to flatter him, and expressed their willingness to send their younger generation to serve under him as officials to help him.

Manage some trivial things.

In response to this sudden kindness, Sun Jian directly kicked Wen Du, but Wen Du immediately had a headache when he saw the list of hundreds of people suddenly appeared. He didn't know where to put it, so he gave it to Zhou Yu and the others.

Let them divide the people among themselves, and specifically tell those who have good conduct, good morals, and real talents to start as small officials such as county magistrates, county lieutenants, and county magistrates, and practice for three to five years.

Then conduct an assessment. After the assessment, appropriate positions will be assigned to each person based on their merits.

Then he would find all those bastards who dared to cheat and cheat, and then drive them home. Wen Du did not want the officialdom structure he had worked so hard to build to be destroyed by moths...
