In addition to the people from the presidium of the Federation of General Associations, Wang Jian was worried that some of the arguments would involve a situation of turning his face with Chongzhen, so he wanted to hold a separate meeting. Zheng Jiang, on the contrary, wanted to know what the Ming Dynasty people in Yulin Bay would think about the incident of turning against Chongzhen, so he advocated that this meeting be open to the Ming Dynasty. After some debate, a compromise was reached, which was open only to the Presidium of the Federation.

Xu Lang, who had returned to Yulin Bay from the Leizhou Peninsula, had just returned home after work, and Xiaoyan ran out of the house with a newspaper: "Dad, Dad, you are in the newspaper." ”

Xu Lang smiled and patted his son's head: "You kid only knows a few words, can you read the newspaper?" Blind me. ”

"Really, I didn't lie to my father." Xiao Yan held up the newspaper and shouted, "What Chen's mother said, you really went to the newspaper." ”

Xu Lang stretched out his hand to get the newspaper: "I'll take a look, what the newspaper says about your father." ”

"Dad, I'll read it to you." Xiao Yan unfolded the newspaper word by word, "What is the General Staff, what is the Chief of the General Staff, General Xu Lang, what, what。。。。。。 ”

"Xiaoyan, don't read it." Chen stood in the courtyard and smiled, "What has become of your father in your mouth?" ”

Xu Lang took the newspaper over: "Wait until you follow Mother Chen to school for a few more years, and then read the newspaper to me if you know more words, I'll take a look at it myself." ”

This newspaper is not all government-run, but a private newspaper called Yazhou Express. Xu Lang remembered that a few days ago, a reporter who claimed to be a reporter from Yazhou Express approached him and gave him an exclusive interview. This interview does not deal with military matters, but about the family life and work of military personnel in general. It's just that Xu Lang didn't expect to see the newspaper so soon.

Xu Lang opened the newspaper and read it carefully, and gradually, Xu Lang's face changed a little.

"Xu Lang, let's take a look when we enter the house." Cheng Yiyi came out of the house and greeted, "It's time to eat immediately, don't let Lu Lao and Aunt He wait." ”

Xu Lang didn't move the place: "Yiyi, have you read this newspaper?" ”

"No, it's not yet." Cheng Yiyi noticed Xu Lang's expression, "Is there any problem, what does the newspaper say about you?" ”

Xu Lang didn't answer, turned his head and asked Chen: "Miss Chen, have you read it, do you think what is written in the newspaper is correct?" ”

Chen replied: "Although there is some exaggeration in the newspaper, I think it is still right, Mr. Xu is such a good person. ”

Xu Lang didn't ask any more questions, and walked into the room with the newspaper, Lu Tianxiang and He Yun were already sitting at the dinner table.

"Lu Lao." Xu Lang put the newspaper in front of Lu Tianxiang, "Have you read this interview about me?" ”

Lu Tianxiang looked at Xu Lang with a smile: "I've seen it, do you have something to say." ”

"Lu Lao knows my heart." Xu Lang poured a glass of wine for both Lu Tianxiang and He Yun, "We must not engage in a personality cult, once this wind opens, it will definitely bring disaster to the country and the people." ”

"What personality cult?" Cheng Yiyi sat down next to Xu Lang and asked.

Xu Lang took the newspaper to Cheng Yiyi: "Look at what is written on it, isn't this nonsense, there's no such way to shoot sycophants." ”

Cheng Yiyi took the newspaper and looked at it twice, and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, Xu Lang, when did you become a wise leader; is devoted to work, giving up the small family to take care of everyone, and his wife will not come back after giving birth. And here, General Shenwu, are you Shenwu? ”

"Where did they learn these words, I don't want to come back, I can't come back." After Xu Lang finished speaking, he turned his head to Lu Tianxiang, "Old Lu, I think we should make a suggestion to the committee, such a thing must not be reported." ”

Lu Tianxiang drank a glass of wine and said slowly: "It is appropriate to publicize and commend some positive things, but after that, it will go to the opposite." God-making movements, cults of personality, these things we've suffered a lot of before. ”

Before Lu Tianxiang finished speaking, Shi Xianyang hurriedly walked in with a newspaper.

"Old Lu, Aunt He." Shi Xianyang first said hello to Lu Tianxiang and his wife, and immediately asked Xu Lang, "Xu Lang, have you read this newspaper, these things are your own wishes?" ”

Xu Lang tilted his head and looked at Shi Xianyang: "It seems that you have also read this newspaper." Don't worry, sit down and have a glass of wine, Lu Lao and I are talking about this. ”

Shi Xianyang didn't refuse, and sat down on the side. Xu Lang poured him a glass of wine: "I just finished reading that report, that was not my intention. I am discussing with Lu Lao, hoping that the committee can increase some management, and this kind of thing will not appear in the newspaper in the future. ”

"But there's a problem with that." Shi Xianyang said, "We now only have news censorship for military matters, except for military affairs, everything else is liberalized." If we intensify our scrutiny, I'm afraid there will be bad results, and I am afraid that our amendments will be violated. ”

"That's what you're talking about, but yes." Xu Lang said, however, raised his glass and touched Lu Tianxiang and Shi Xianyang, "We all understand that this kind of thing is wrong, but this is indeed a kind of freedom of speech." If someone really wants to worship someone or something, it's hard to say that it's wrong. Anyway, if it is logically speaking, I don't think it is appropriate to ban it, after all, there is no violation of the bottom line, but realistically speaking, these things must be banned. ”

"You two don't have to talk about it." Lu Tianxiang said, "Isn't the committee going to convene a crossing conference immediately, Xianyang, you are a justice, you can put forward a bill on this issue, and let the crossing conference make a decision." ”

Speaking of the crossing conference to be held immediately, Shi Xianyang asked again: "Lu Lao, Xu Lang, the committee has already sent me the issues to be discussed this time, I think you two also know, do you think we should agree to Wang Chengen's request?" ”

Lu Tianxiang didn't speak, and Xu Lang replied, "I think I can agree." There are two benefits to this, one is the problem of money. If you really want to divide it into three, three or four according to what Wang Chengen said, you can increase our income a lot of money. The second is the industrial revolution, we can use the arsenal and steel factory as a breakthrough to set off an industrial revolution in the entire Ming Dynasty to change the status quo of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"But the problem is obvious." Shi Xianyang said a word and didn't go any further.

"The problem will always be solved." Xu Lang said with a smile, "Now Zhou Lei and Wang Qianxiang's arsenal can only produce smoothbore guns, and the output is still too low to equip the entire Nine Border Town. And you think, even if we also produce rifled guns in Beijing, the output should not be very high, which army will Chongzhen equip this gun with? I don't think anything would be a big problem as long as we kept the production under control. Besides, we are about to start the spring offensive, and once Annan surrenders, I am still afraid of him. ”

"Dad, you're swearing." Xiao Yan and Xiao Yong pointed at Xu Lang together and shouted, "Mother Chen said that swearing is not a good child. ”

"Yes, yes, Dad is wrong, Dad is not a good boy, don't learn from me." Xu Lang laughed, "Dad punished himself with a cup, and Dad admitted his mistake." ”

The whole family laughed together, and Lu Tianxiang took a cup and said: "Let's wait for the meeting, since we have already gotten off work, don't be so tired, let's have a good meal." ”
