Traveler Major League

Chapter 245 From the Dragon's Power
  "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers. The [-]st Brigade, Regiment, Battalion and Cavalry Battalion of the Fourth Army of the People's Army captured Huating in two hours with more than [-] troops and wiped out more than [-] Ming Army defenders. Great victory!"

There are children running by on the street, shouting the latest news. This kind of ideological weapon to promote military power and policy news is also the reason why Liu Ze arranged for someone to set up an alliance newspaper to publish newspapers. Different from the newspaper materials in the second world, here the Ming Dynasty Almost half of the pages of the newspapers published inside are devoted to various military affairs and various major victories, which greatly enhances the morale within the public system.

In addition to posting this kind of newspaper at city gates and street intersections, it is also mandatory to post it in every teahouse, wine shop and other public places. It is also distributed to newsboys and vendors who want to make money to sell on the street. This model is much better than the imperial court. The effect of Di Bao is much better, which is similar to the Chao Bao sold in Song Dynasty.

However, there are differences. The contents of imperial newspapers in the Song Dynasty were mostly ordinary documents and news. Secrets such as military aircraft and border affairs, as well as disasters such as earthquakes and plagues, were strictly prohibited from being published at that time. In the second year of Xianping (999) of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, the publication of A "fixed copy" censorship system for newspapers.

This is the first documented news censorship system in the history of our country’s journalism.

The specific method is: the Jinzouyuan must submit the compiled sample of the official newspaper to the Privy Council for review. The sample that passes the light review is called the "final version." The official newspaper issued by the Jinzou Yuan to the local government shall be subject to the "final version" and shall not be added or deleted without authorization.

The emperor even personally asked about some important matters.

For example, in the early Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin army often invaded. Song Gaozong deliberately surrendered and compromised and did not allow the people to rise up to resist. He forbade newspapers to disclose news of the Jin army's incursions.

In peacetime, the Song Dynasty issued repeated orders to prohibit some behaviors that did not comply with the censorship system.

However, due to the fierce class struggle in the Song Dynasty, serious internal and external troubles, and the stupid and corrupt leadership group, although the Song Dynasty formulated the "fixed version" system in an attempt to strictly suppress public opinion and fool the people, it did not achieve much effect.

Different from the government-run ones, the private tabloids that appeared in the Tang Dynasty were more dynamic and had everything in them. By the Song Dynasty, they entered their heyday. The layout format of the tabloids was roughly the same as that of the Chaobao. There was no masthead and the content included summaries of the Chaobao news. , and also published current affairs and political materials that the editor himself did not have, including issues that were being discussed and yet to be decided by the court. It helps readers understand the new trends in the court and new things in society. At that time, readers were accustomed to calling them tabloids or news.

Zhao Sheng of the Song Dynasty wrote "Chaoye Lei Yao" after discussing the morning newspapers and side newspapers:
  "There are so-called internal spies, provincial spies, and government spies. They are all secretly reported to the tabloids. There is a prohibition on leakage, so they hide the news."

Imperial court officials, middle- and lower-level officials in local government agencies, scholar-bureaucrats, and scripture printers all stepped forward to establish tabloids during the social turmoil in the Northern Song Dynasty and became the earliest publishers of private newspapers in my country.

Some people accept the entrustment of tabloids to inquire about news in central government agencies such as Da Nei (Imperial Palace), Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province, as well as in government offices such as temples, prisons, and divisions. They are called internal detectives, provincial detectives, and yamen detectives. .

Some of them "specialize in detecting and reporting such things for a living," similar to the reporters who later devoted themselves to running agency news. Of course, there are also some who are part-time "correspondents".

Therefore, Xi Shikui, who has always paid attention to the information of the People's Alliance, quickly accepted and became accustomed to this improved version of the newspaper. At first, he only thought that this was the People's Alliance version of the Dibao, and it was nothing more than some important news from North Korea and China. However, Later, Xi Shikui discovered that the two were not the same. There were many more things in them, including government recruitment information and merchandise store advertisements.

"The Xianyang Police Department is recruiting three consultants. The requirements are: familiarity with local customs, priority will be given to those with a clean family background, and good health; job content: assisting the police station in investigating cases;" Xi Shikui spent three copper coins to buy a newspaper and sat in the hall. Make a pot of tea and read in your mouth, eyes shining.

This is a good opportunity to integrate into the People's Alliance. As the people's army has made great progress during this period, it is about to occupy the land of Longxi in the northwest and its momentum continues unabated. The latest plan of the People's Alliance openly states that it will wipe out the world within two years. The grand plan no longer seemed like a joke, so he was eager to join the feast.

Xi Shikui was previously hired as a consultant by Liu Yingyu as a yamen man, but after all, it was only for short-term emergency use. He was always eager to get into the camp and truly become a member of the people's army.

A few days ago, I sent Liu Yingyu a few strings of glass beads and glass bottles. Xi Shikui spent hundreds of taels of silver to buy these top-quality things, but he didn't expect them to accept them at all.

Seeing this new news in the newspaper, how could Xi Shikui still be in the mood to drink tea? Although during this period of time, the city was cleansing local tyrants, evil gentry and corrupt officials, he only kept one house, and all the other excess grain, fields and houses. After donating the money and letting the servant go, he found temporary safety through his financial ruin, but he was still considered penniless.

There are not many officials in the yamen who can end up losing money and avoiding disasters like Xi Shikui. Thinking about his former colleagues, who died during this period, whose homes were confiscated, and who were sentenced. After comparing them, he felt that he was not bad. , and if he can become a member of the People's Alliance, then his wealth and life will not only be stable, but he will also be inevitable in the future.

Thinking of this, Xi Shikui immediately got up and ran to the yamen address written in the newspaper. Besides, the consultant's salary was part of the official establishment of the police station, and the salary was quite high. It was clearly written in the newspaper that he would get food every month. The ticket is [-] kilograms. Nowadays, public grain stores on the market are restricted from trading. It is not enough to buy grain with just money. You must have food stamps, otherwise you will not be able to buy anything. Food stamps are almost equivalent to currency and can be used in supply and marketing. You can buy anything in the social system, so now people recognize it and have to recognize it.

These various restrictive policies have been implemented in all places under the rule of the Popular Alliance, causing the living standards of people with a small fortune like Xi Shikui to plummet, and truly enjoying the ultimate feeling of having money that cannot be spent.

In fact, Xi Shikui wanted to escape from here and continue to be a master in other places in the Ming Dynasty, but where could he escape in the chaos of war?
  They come, the security.

When Xi Shikui arrived at the former military prison workshop of the Yamen, which is now the police station, he discovered that there were quite a few people applying for police station consultants, and they were all acquaintances from the original Yamen.

"Mr. Xi, are you here too? Do you have something important to do?" Someone said hello, which caused the first few people to bow. As the former chief registrar, Xi Shikui had the highest status among these deceased elders.

Xi Shikui asked instead, "You are also here to apply for that consultant position?"

"Exactly, exactly."

"As difficult as the world is, it's better to follow the People's Alliance." Xi Shikui nodded and responded.

Before these old acquaintances could exchange a few words, a policeman in dark gray uniform came to the door with a folder and shouted: "Are you all here to apply for police station consultants?"

"Brother, we are all the same."

"Everyone who has signed up, come with me. We, the inspector and the director, are waiting inside." Xi Shikui followed the little policeman across the platform from Jieshifang and entered the lobby behind the rolling shed to wait. Things have changed. People have changed. This place was originally The plaque hanging high on the mirror is still there, which shows that the county master's desk has been moved away and replaced by rows of desks. Most of the desks inside are occupied by people. There are also a few desks in a small area separated by a screen. The chairs and small tables have become the reception area.

Yu Chengdong was sitting among them at this time, chatting with the director while pointing at a map of Xianyang. He had been working in the police system of the People's Alliance since he arrived in the Second World Spring and Autumn World. As an old man As a criminal police officer, he is like a fish in water. It can be said that he participated in the establishment of the current police system. After arriving in the Ming Dynasty, his current position is that of inspector, specializing in patrolling various cities to supervise the construction of police stations.

This is the second time Yu Chengdong has come to Xianyang. The first time he came was when Xianyang was conquered and the police station was established. It was purely official business. This time he was returning to Xi'an from Baoji to report on work, and happened to meet the Xianyang police. Bureau Chief Yu Guangshun wanted to recruit local consultants, so he accompanied him to take a look.

"Inspector Yu, look at this map. I have marked the densely populated areas and shop-dense areas, as well as the surrounding villages and towns and traffic arteries. Now I only need more detailed population and other information for each area. I will wait for the distribution of farmland in the countryside. Once the work team information is released, it will be complete." Yu Guangshun reported on the results of his work during this period.

Looking at the mature appearance of this nineteen-year-old young man, Yu Chengdong couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, practice is the best way to train talents. Who would have thought that the kid who couldn't even speak well in the training team before can now speak freely?" And talked about it.”

"If you have something in your heart, you won't be afraid and you can speak." Yu Guangshun stuttered again.

Yu Chengdong patted Yu Guangshun's shoulder hard, and said affectionately and enviously: "You kid can't praise me."

"The main problem we are currently facing is the lack of professional police. I am also organizing the training of personnel in the bureau. It's just that everything has just started and I am very busy. Now I rely on mobilizing and relying on the people, insisting on not handing over conflicts, and on-the-spot To solve the problem, the policy of being strict in emergency times is still somewhat effective." Yu Guangshun scratched his head and said helplessly: "I am also reading the information on security and investigation, and learning and teaching at the same time. It is too much and too complicated. "

"Nonsense, how many more months do you want to finish four years of professional knowledge?" Yu Chengdong comforted, "You have learned relatively little. We are in the third world, and no one can learn it all." This knowledge also has a division of labor, including public security science, investigation science, border defense management, anti-drug science, police dog technology, economic crime investigation, border defense command, fire command, security science, public security information science, criminology, public security management, and foreign-related police We have a lot of professional knowledge, including domestic security, police command and tactics, technical investigation, coast guard law enforcement, public security political work, immigration management, grave access management, anti-terrorism policing, and firefighting political work, so come on.”

Yu Guangshun smacked his lips, shook his head and said, "I will work hard, Inspector Yu, when do you think we can catch up with the third world?"

"What aspect does this depend on?"

"How to say?"

"For example, your current ethnic policy has caught up with, and even surpassed." Yu Chengdong said happily, "Do you have any difficulties?"

"Right now, apart from the shortage of manpower, we also don't have much transportation, so our bureau is given five horses, not to mention a car. Each team can get one walkie-talkie, but it's hard to do centralized training. It's too long to go back and forth. Trouble."

Yu Guangshun complained that the original Daming Station system was now reorganized and placed under the dual leadership of the police system and the postal system. The problem was that each station also had to occupy a part of the police force. The establishment was equivalent to the local branch, and some small ones only had two or three. There are more than a dozen people in a large post station. It is easy to rely on walkie-talkies to convey information on a daily basis, but it is difficult to train together. Those who work in shifts with a large number of people go to the Xianyang Police Station in batches to receive training from Yu Guangshun. It is okay, but the two or three people It is difficult for a small inn to be without one person, especially in this troubled and chaotic period.

"I'm thinking about recruiting more people, but there are too many new people, and I can't handle them. I'd better wait until this batch of training is almost done, and then recruit more people. I have to hurry up. I'm afraid other places will need police talents in the future. "Yu Guangshun was referring to the two-year plan to unify the country.

"Now it's not just yours. The police stations in other places are also expanding their scale. However, I remind you that the training work cannot be relaxed."

"Yeah, I know."

The current training for the entire police system is very rough. For example, Yu Guangshun, a city director, has only received a few months of training. The militiamen who have joined the police station have not even been trained. They can simply teach a person. In two days, they were rushed to shelves and dispatched to various stations, which was far inferior to the police force that Yu Cheng Dong worked for before.

"Currently, the main focus is on order and stability. The early training can be simplified and taken slowly."

"Yeah, I understand."

Although Yu Chengdong has small thoughts about the People's Alliance, they are all aimed at the relationship between the People's Alliance and his hometown in the Third World. He is dedicated to the work of his own police system. At first, he was still against the People's Army who had eaten up a fat man in one bite. There was quite a bit of criticism, because the rapid occupation of the place was accompanied by various problems of rough law enforcement, and at first he was a little unsure about the establishment of the police station system in the newly occupied area, because in such a large Xianyang city, the Spring and Autumn Period assigned Yu Guangshun was the only police officer who had been trained for two and a half months. Plus a company transferred from the militia system, these were all the manpower that could be used.

Unexpectedly, Yu Chengdong's worries were overcome as soon as the recruitment of new local police officers started, which gave him a deep understanding of the old saying "when you raise the recruitment flag, there will be people who will feed you". Those poor families who have no food to eat will completely It’s just a matter of queuing up and picking whatever you want.

The three requirements of working locally, not fighting on the front line, and distributing food attracted nearly a thousand people to apply. There was no fear of rebelling and joining the bandits and implicating the nine tribes, so they had no choice but to improve the recruitment conditions.

Those who are too short or too thin are not allowed;
  Those who are too young or too old are not allowed;

Those with infectious diseases and physical disabilities are not allowed;
  Priority will be given to those from poor backgrounds with a clean financial background;
  Literacy is preferred;
  Even with these conditions, nearly two hundred people met the criteria and were all admitted.

"Report, the recruitment consultant has arrived." At this time, a police officer came over to report.

The director responded: "Bring them in."

An hour later, Xi Shikui at the door of the Yamen looked at the blue sky and couldn't help but smile. He was approved on the spot by the young and excessive director without any suspense. From now on, he will be a member of the People's Alliance police system. People.

Xi Shikui had mixed feelings in his heart, smiled, and said in a low voice: "It seems that I have become a rebel."
