As the New Year approaches, the reform of Dahua is still in progress, the imperial court organs are effectively functioning, the six ministries of the three provinces and the hundred civil and military officials are performing their respective duties, and local government affairs, military reorganization, official promotion, resettlement of displaced people, tax collection, recruitment of new troops, and supervision organs are all being implemented and organized in an orderly manner.

At the same time, the revised "Guanzhong Weekly" and the first printing of the "Dahua Journal" were also born.

Luo Zhaoyun carefully flipped through this authoritative newspaper of the imperial court, which was divided into seven or eight sections, most of which were divided into several columns according to the style and layout of modern newspapers, with news headlines, special reports, people's lives, and major national events.

At the same time, the achievements of various localities, the progress made after the reform, the hardships and hardships of the people in the Central Plains, and the sensitive issues in the border areas were selectively reported, so as to guide the thinking of the masses.

"Very good!" Luo Zhaoyun looked at the headline in the newspaper and couldn't stop laughing, what was written on it was not a bumper harvest in Guanzhong, no one was starved to death, or tax reduction, resettlement of displaced people, etc., it was simply a copy of the People's Daily!

Luo Zhaoyun finished smiling, and said to the history of the Imperial Stage: "The king of the book has ordered the newly established Hanlin Academy to be printed in large quantities, and all of them will be printed and distributed in Zhongcheng tomorrow, and those who tell the Hanlin Academy can do some advertising in the newspaper to publicize some workshops in the imperial court, and the business will be even more popular." ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" The internal historian patted his ass with a flattering face.

Luo Zhaoyun put down the newspaper and picked up the first issue of the academic journal of Tai Academy, which contained knowledge of science, arithmetic, mechanics, medical science and other aspects, changing the scholars to completely study dead books and only do the guidance of poetry, and printed some small knowledge and small popular science on the academic journal, which are all superficial truths, but the sentences are shocking, such as the existence of gravity in the world, the space in which people live is not a round place, etc., and gradually change the thinking of the world.

After the review, it was handed over to the imperial historian to pass the oracle out of the palace and prepare for printing and distribution.

Two days later, the "Guanzhong Weekly" and the "Dahua Journal" were really sold and circulated in Wangcheng, and the major prominent families in Guanzhong Wangcheng, businessmen from all walks of life, wealthy people, tenant farmers, wine shops, tea shops, inns, car dealers, and so on were busy buying weekly newspapers, and the price was only the usual money, while the academic journal was more expensive, after all, people who could be interested in studying academics were not ordinary people, and the asking price was one or two silver.

"I have resettled millions of displaced people in Dahua......

"Ah, Hangu Pass and being controlled by our army to work hard to prevent the Central Plains rebellious army from entering the pass!"

"Oh, the Hexi Corridor is restarted, and during the Lantern Festival, Hu merchants are about to come to Chang'an to trade!"

"And that's not all."

"Then Li Tang, follow Liu Wuzhou's example, and want to be a minister of the Turks, his heart can be punished!"

For a time, the alleys of the big city, inns, wine shops, green buildings, commercial houses, workshops, wealthy nobles...... All walks of life are vying to buy newspapers and learn about the major events that are happening in Guanzhong and the situation in the world.

.........

On this day, Luo Zhaoyun personally met with an old general, Zhang Zhenzhou.

This old general was originally an official of the Sui Dynasty, a military general when he was young, and participated in the Pingchen War.

This old general, who is over the age of six, is good at military and political affairs, and if he is allowed to unload his armor and return to the field in Chang'an City, it will be too wasteful to live idlely.

Zhang Zhenzhou himself was reluctant to lead the troops to fight anymore, because he had been out of office for many years, and he was invited out of the mountain by Li Yuan, but the army was defeated and surrendered.

However, Emperor Dahua was invited, and after he excused himself twice, the third envoy came to the door, and he could only come to the palace to face the saint.

Because if he doesn't come out again, his family is so frightened that he can't do it, offending His Majesty the emperor, he is likely to be beheaded all over the house, even if the emperor is benevolent and doesn't care, but his clansmen want to enter the official career, it will be difficult, so Zhang Zhenzhou finally entered the palace under the persuasion of the whole family.

"See Your Majesty."

"Give the old general a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Zhang Zhenzhou bowed his hand, he sat down and looked at this young and promising king, the legendary founding emperor of Dahua, and suddenly felt that Luo Zhaoyun, who was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, was full of majesty and momentum, his eyes were shining, as bright as a golden lamp, and his yellow robe was on his body, as if he had a kind of purple luck and a very imperial appearance.

Zhang Zhenzhou thought to himself, no wonder this person can start from the beginning of the pawn and reach today's height, and he is indeed a heroic figure of Wen Taowu.

"General Zhang is both civil and military, old and strong, idle at home, it is really a loss for the imperial court, Dahua is now the time to employ people, how about going out of the mountain again and serving the imperial court?" Luo Zhaoyun asked straight to the point.

Zhang Zhenzhou got up and arched his hand and said: "It is the honor of the grass man Zhang Zhenzhou to be favored by His Majesty, but Zhang is very old, and I am afraid that he will not be able to take on a big responsibility." ”

"General Zhang doesn't have to be too modest."

Zhang Zhenzhou explained: "The last time he was appointed by Tang Guojun Li Yuan to go on an expedition, he was defeated by His Majesty, Zhang Mou was convinced, his level was limited, he was old, and he was really overwhelmed, and I hope that His Majesty will take back his life and let the grass people spend their old age at home." Moreover, His Majesty Shengming, widely opened the way of speech, issued an order to seek talents, so that the world's scholars rushed into the customs, hoping to be reused by the imperial court, at present, there are many talents, fierce generals like clouds, there is really no need for the meager strength of the grass people. ”

Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly and said: "General Zhang, don't be in a hurry to refuse, this time I want to reactivate General Zhang, but it's not for the Eastern Expedition to crusade against the princes of the Central Plains!" ”

"Oh, that's ......." Zhang Zhenzhou suddenly became curious.

Luo Zhaoyun had already guessed the other party's thoughts, so he came up vaguely and did not say what he was doing, which made Zhang Zhenzhou deny it, refused to come back and be activated, and refused to lead the troops to the east under the pretext of his old age and limited ability.

But Luo Zhaoyun changed his words, and he didn't think about sending him to the east at all, which made Zhang Zhenzhou puzzled and curious.

At this time, Luo Zhaoyun explained: "General Zhang is old, I know it, and I can't bear to send the general to send troops out of Guguan to fight, it should be left to young people to rush to kill and make contributions, Li Jing, Hou Junji, Xue Wancheng, etc. are all good candidates, but there is a territory, but it needs a sage like General Zhang to go over in order to relieve more people." ”

When Zhang Zhen heard that it was not a war, but a relief for the people, he immediately aroused a strong curiosity, as well as a sense of compassion for the heavens and people, and hesitated and asked: "Please make it clear to Your Majesty, what is the place that needs to be relieved of disasters?" ”

Luo Zhaoyun saw him take the bait and said, "Bashu! The people there are backward, after the local bandits are rampant, the local Tusi bullies and bullies, the people are in dire straits, the imperial court has sent Cheng Mingzhen and others to the land of Bashu in the spring, after occupying some cities, close to the core of Bashu, but it is difficult, many Tusi to contend with, bandits need to be exterminated, the people need to be resettled, the victims need relief, there is no sage with both cultural relics, it is difficult to be competent, Cheng Mingzhen and others, after all, it is too many years ago, it is not good to deal with these complicated things, General Zhang has done a history of assassination in Shuzhou and Shouzhou, If General Zhang goes to the hinterland of Bashu, I believe that the problem of bandits and stubborn Tusi there can be easily solved. ”

Zhang Zhenzhou pondered for a while, his face hesitated, but in the end he agreed, not for meritorious service, but for the local people affected by the disaster, and was willing to change the fate of the refugees there through his own efforts.
