Chapter 451 Local Newspapers and the Great Victory of the Eastern Army

When we went to the capital, the good news from the Eastern Army immediately spread to the city.

Although it was the chilly spring season, the largest city in Liaodong, Shangjing has been blown away by the great celebrations and enthusiasm of the people.

It was also the Ming government that did not conceal this military action, and at the beginning of the war, it had continuous reports on it. In order to enhance the propaganda means of public opinion positions and promote competitive development in publicity, after the regular government affairs meeting of the senior management this year, three official and semi-official newspapers were added, including Shangjing News, Business Daily, and Liaodong Morning Post.

Among them, "Shangjingcheng News" is a local newspaper led and planned by the local governments of Shangjing Prefecture. This also sets a precedent for local governments to open newspapers. Currently, Shandong Province, Jiangnan Province, Jilin Province, Liaodong Province, even the coastal provinces and Longjiang Provinces have also applied to open local newspapers.

Because they applied late and suddenly gathered together, the review time was slower. There are only three newspapers currently published.

The name of the Liaodong Morning Post sounds very wide, but in fact it was applied by the local government in Liaoyang City. After that, the Propaganda Department had to issue an announcement that the newspapers sponsored by the local government should not be too no longer worthy of their name.

This also forced other local governments who were applying to change the originally selected name to be closer to reality and easy to pass the review.

The Business Daily was founded by the Ministry of Commerce and the Ming Dynasty's great merchant Li Chengwu. Before that, the name of merchant Li Chengwu was equivalent to not. But as soon as this matter was announced, it immediately made people wonder who Li Chengwu was.

But no one can know if they want to break their heads. The "famous" Li Chengwu is sitting in the palace now.

"Your Highness, as soon as the Business Daily was opened, the merchants were very active. They were asking around about the way of Li Da Merchant, thinking about getting along with each other." The Qianhu Hunur of Mingwei served Ulutus and explained the situation in the city vividly.

Because there is no surveillance in this era, and there is no Internet, if you want to know the various situations of the people, you can only cultivate special intelligence agencies in addition to looking at them with your own eyes. The Mingwei focuses on monitoring Shangjing Prefecture and the surrounding areas, so it has become an important channel for Ulutus to understand the various situations of the people.

"Haha, there is no need to be intimate with friendship. As long as the merchants can build workshops in the spring breeze opened by the Business Daily, let the people live a peaceful life. If you pay more taxes, you will be worry-free." Ulutus was in a good mood and replied in a joking tone.

I am naturally happy to win this battle!

Although the Huolulu tribe and even the Balahu tribe in the north were not opponents of the Ming Dynasty. It is still worth being happy to have established the victory with the smallest price and the shortest time.

Moreover, in this way, there will be more time for Mingguo to prepare. In the face of the upcoming threat of the Khanate, he can respond more calmly.

I still remember that a few days ago, news came from the secret guard that the soldiers of the Khan Court had reached the southern foot of the Alatan Mountains. As long as I crossed the mountains, I would enter the boundary of the northern desert grasslands.

This also means that the time left for Ming Dynasty to deal with it is getting less and less.

Although Ulutus pretended not to care in front of everyone and was calm and composed, he was actually anxious.

After all, what we have to face is Genghis Khan, a great figure who resounds throughout the future generations.

Although the other party is already old, it is impossible to say that one is not worried.

In addition, the Khan Court is a soldier for the whole people. In terms of military mobilization, it is better than the Ming Kingdom, which has entered a settled and farming state. In addition, the Ming Kingdom directly borders the Khan Court on three sides, and a point is broken. What we may be welcomed is that the Khan Court soldiers rushed into the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, burning, killing, looting, and suffering from the lives.

This was so anxious that Ulutus had a sore mouth and tongue.

Knowing that this is fire poison, I guessed the reason. As a close servant and confidant, Hunur specially told Ulutus some interesting things, hoping to get rid of his anger for his master.

"Your Highness always cares about the people. It is really a blessing for our Ming Dynasty. Those merchants were in their original position and now they were in their position. They were all thinking about His Highness's goodness. Now that the "Business Daily" is the mouthpiece of the merchants, they have a place to gather to speak, and they have a great blessing.

If you evade taxes, you will be really heartless!" When Hunur said this, his expression was very strong, and he made Ulutus happy for a while.

Then he laughed and scolded, "You, you! After becoming a Qianhu, he is still so unruly. Are you not afraid that the people below will look down on you?"

"I followed His Highness and entrust all my life to His Highness. The royal family members of this thousand households are also promoted by His Highness. As long as His Highness values ​​it, it doesn't matter whether others take it lightly. As long as the things that he does for His Highness are beautiful."

This made Ulutus laugh again, and then he thought of something, his smile slightly restrained and said, "How is the reaction of the people of the people to the victory of the Eastern Army?"

"The reaction is naturally a celebration!" Observing Ulutus's face, seeing that he was not moved, he added: "Although the news that the main force of the Khan Party was about to return to the west a few days ago made some ordinary people feel a little nervous and uneasy, and even the number of merchants applying for immigration in Jiangnan Province has increased significantly, but as soon as the news of the Eastern Army winning the battle was announced, there was a long queue in front of the Ministry of Civil Affairs' yamen, the situation of applying for the Jiangnan Province has improved a lot."

Businessmen are always the most sensitive to profit and avoid harm.

The main force of the Khanate returned westward immediately reminded them of the possibility of a war breaking out, and therefore they deliberately wanted to move to the Jiangnan Province, which was in the rear.

Just now, the Jiangnan Province is in a mess and is open to all immigrants. Therefore, the overlap between the two has led to a surge in the number of immigrants in the Jiangnan Province.

However, when deciding to announce the news that the main force of the Khanate returned westward, the Ming government led by Ulutus had made sufficient preparations for this. And the development of the Jiangnan province as soon as possible also meets the needs of the Ming government. If the war is unfavorable, the Jiangnan province capital will become an important source of taxation for the Ming country.

Therefore, increasing the number of local people as soon as possible is the top priority.

However, in order to avoid the spread of excessive panic, certain positive factors are still needed to hedge. Therefore, the Eastern Army, which is not a big battle, was deliberately used to focus on publicity and commend it.
