Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 887 Zhang Wen Recommends a Journalist

In the early morning of the next day, Lan Tian postponed the originally scheduled court meeting and went to the pier to see him off in person.

After the baptism of war in the youth battalion, Wu Baierlang is no longer a martial arts boy. Not only are they brave and fearless in combat, but they all have theoretical knowledge. Once expanded, they can directly serve as officers.

"I see that your soldiers look very good. Huben Martial Hall can no longer teach you. From now on, you will no longer be a student of Martial Hall. When you arrive in Xiangyang, you can follow General Guan's orders." Lan Tian tidied up his clothes for Lan Ji, looking It is full of kindness.

Lan Ji grinned his teeth and joked with Lan Tian, ​​"Uncle Gao said that this is an out-of-class assessment, do you want to go back and let him test it again?"

"Just pass the test for your father. Although Boping is the general of the Wutang, don't forget that I am the deputy prefect of the Wutang, you little devil." Lan Tian patted Lan Ji's helmet with his feet, and said to himself that this child How to jump higher and higher, wondering whether to make basketball out of it?The two kids in the family should be able to dunk.

"Hey, what does father have to say to uncle?" Lan Ji asked with a smile.

"Now that Yangzhou belongs to the Han Dynasty, I will soon be able to relieve the crisis in Jingzhou and let him take time to recuperate and train. The next time Jingzhou and Huainan raise troops at the same time, I am afraid that Cao Pi will not be able to stop it and help His Majesty recover. The Central Plains is just around the corner." Lan Tian said seriously.

Lan Ji nodded solemnly, "Okay, okay, my boy will tell my uncle every word."

"Father, Zhongling's marriage."

"The child is still young"

Lan Yuan deliberately placed himself on the premise of others, so that the second monk Lan Jizhang was puzzled, thinking that my younger brother, I am still young, and now that my parents are here, how can I be the eldest brother to urge the marriage?

Lan Ji originally thought that Lan Tian would prevaricate for him, but unexpectedly he nodded in agreement with Lan Yuan: "Bo Yang is right, he got married when he was as old as you, but Yin Ping is younger, so it doesn't matter if we wait any longer , I think it will be two years later, when you go back, remember to tell Yun Chang."

"Ah? The child has not accomplished an inch." Lan Ji opened his mouth wide.

"How much credit do you need? You can't let Yinping wait any longer, can you? That's the deal." Lan Tian made a final decision.

"Uh, my boy wants to capture Luoyang."

Lan Ji muttered in a low voice, but Lan Tian listened to him seriously, so he affirmed loudly: "You don't need to hide your ambitions. This time, I will go back and help Yun Chang. I will marry you in Luoyang in two years."

"Oh." Lan Ji nodded.

Lan Tian rode a horse and headed towards the warship on the river, and finally the boat carrying Lan Ji and Ding Feng was covered by reeds and disappeared in the eyes of Lan Tian and his son.

"I set a wedding date for Zhongling, and my mother will be happy to know that, let's go back to the city now, the ministers may still be waiting for you." Lan Yuan reminded softly.

"Yeah..." When Lan Tian grabbed the reins, he suddenly remembered that Deng Ai was not married, and thought that he would write the memorial and return to Chang'an in two days, and he wanted to mention this matter to Liu Bei alone. Willing to point him to a marriage.

It was nearly noon before the father and son returned to the Wu Palace. They were told that the ministers of Eastern Wu were waiting in the palace yesterday, so Lan Tian asked Yu Xiu to send someone to buy some ingredients. He planned to discuss political affairs with the ministers while eating shabu-shabu.

It was no secret that Lantian saw his son off, so Jiangdong's officials didn't complain at all, and when they met again, they all had smiles on their faces.

"Yesterday, everyone had a very happy conversation at the welcome banquet. Many people couldn't help reporting government affairs. Today we will have a good chat. In addition, we will not be indecent. I have prepared Jingzhou special shabu-shabu, so you don't have to worry about being hungry." Stomach, let’s start while the kitchen is still preparing the dishes.” Lan Tian showed a pleasant expression.

"I don't know what the Fujun wants to hear?" Zhang Zhao pretended to be the head of civil servants.

"The affairs of a state are complicated and chaotic, so I won't talk about the specific affairs first. You can talk about the household registration and taxation of each county first, so that I can know the income of Jiangdong. In addition, I also want to know the expenditure of each government office. Since Your Majesty asked me to come When Yangzhou is home, the income and expenditure must be clear." Lan Tian hit the nail on the head.

"Household registration and taxation are in Shangshutai. Yuan Tan has prepared them early, and let the officials of various ministries report according to the policy." Zhang Zhao signaled Gu Yong and said.

Gu Yongxin said, what is your identity?How to give orders like a eunuch?Can't you see Lord Lan Fu getting close to the nobles?He immediately arranged for his subordinates to report the data of each county and county one by one. After listening to it for a while, Lan Tian found that the income and expenditure of each county were too chaotic.

On the way, the shabu-shabu was brought to the main hall, and everyone was eating and chatting very comfortably, but later, due to disputes over the expenditure data of some yamen, several yamen chiefs argued with each other, Lan Tian sat at the head and yawned, thinking that Sun Quan was like this 'Prison'?

After finally finishing talking about the expenditure part, there is still the largest military expenditure part. Seeing that it was getting late outside, Lan Tian quickly reached out to stop him: "Everyone listened to me all afternoon. I don’t know how you feel. Anyway, my mind is buzzing , I think the military department will be delayed for a few days."

"It's normal for the Fujun to be busy when he first came to Yangzhou. You should have learned about it earlier, and then assign tasks to us. At that time, it will be handy. Work harder now, and relax later." Zhang Zhao cupped his hands to advise.

Lan Tian sternly said: "It's not that I'm being lazy and find it hard work, but the fact is that the consumption of each battalion is quite different. Generals such as Xiu Mu (Zhu Huan) and Zi Huang (Quan Cong) are not familiar with the entire Jiangdong army. Wait a few days for Lu Boyan to return from victory and find He’s going to get twice the result with half the effort.”

"Dadu Bo Yanhe." Gu Yong stood up excitedly.

Lan Tian waved his hand to signal Gu Yong to sit down, "Bo Yan led his troops to surrender in Jiangcheng yesterday, and now he is attacking Dantu with General Gan. I believe he will be able to capture Sun Quan and return in a few days. He should be most familiar with Yangzhou military affairs."

"Ah, yes, yes, no one is more familiar with him." Gu Yong quickly echoed.

Zhang Zhao looked at Gu Yong contemptuously, and said to himself that you said that Lu Xun was capable of turning the tide, but in the end, you voted after losing just one time?I see who will talk about the old man in the future.

"While there is still some time, I would like to announce something to you all." Lan Tian's words immediately revived the crowd, thinking that there is finally something to be arranged?

Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Lan Tian smiled and explained: "Everyone knows what a newspaper is. The people of Yangzhou have been watching "Yangtze River News" and "Lingnan News" for a long time, so I plan to run a newspaper in Jiangdong, but who will do it? As the head of the newspaper, I need you to recommend someone for me."

Newspapers are not a new thing now. Everyone knows that they can guide public opinion and even criticize people.

"My lord, I have someone to choose, please consider it." When everyone was still whispering, Zhang Wen stood in the hall early.

Lan Tian smiled all over his face, "Who does Huishu recommend?"

"Wu Jun Jiyan, Ji Zixiu, this talent is outstanding, upright, and he may be able to do a good job for the government." Zhang Wen replied seriously.

"Hehe, Ji Zixiu is a candidate, do you have any other candidates?" Lan Tian waved his hand to signal Zhang Wen to sit down.

Everyone in the hall didn't respond. They thought that the Zhang family and Lan Tian were close and wanted to take over the important task, but they didn't expect Zhang Wen to push it to his friend Jiyan.

Upon seeing this, Lan Tian made a final decision: "Since everyone thinks that Ji Zixiu is suitable, I will appoint him as the head of the Yangzhou newspaper and ask him to come see me tomorrow."

"Wei." Zhang Wen nodded in reply.

"Your Majesty, I heard that running the newspaper consumes a lot of money. I don't know the income and expenditure of the Yangzhou newspaper." Gu Yong hesitated to speak.

Lan Tian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Jiaozhou newspaper is very mature, there is no problem with the balance of payments, and there will be surplus in the later stage. I will transfer people to help later, it's not that complicated."
