This is a newspaper compiled by the Liaodong Economic Strategy Envoy in the Shangdu Jinjuin, which contains various news developments of the officialdom and the people in the capital during a period of time (usually measured in months).

Li Mao returned to Beijing to serve as Honglu Shaoqing and the military envoy of Youweiyuan, and the original Liaocheng Prefecture Assassin and Liaodong Economic Strategy Envoy still held both the false positions, and the Liaodong Economic Strategy Envoy in Weizhou was not revoked because of Li Mao's departure. Even the banner of the Anton Army was still retained, but the imperial court cut off the supply of grain and grass.

When he was still in Weizhou, Li Mao planned to set up the Liaodong Jindu Jinju Academy, he had been an official of the Jinju Academy, and he knew that the Jinjuanyuan was of great significance, and he was undoubtedly a tiger wings to the local marshal.

The original planning of the Shangdu Jinju Academy was formally established after Li Mao entered Beijing, which on the one hand had the purpose of relocating redundant personnel and arbitraging appropriations, and on the other hand, it was also a means of extending its power.

On the surface, this is just an ordinary newspaper, and the content published is nothing surprising in terms of officialdom dynamics or public opinion, and the content of the newspaper compiled by the Jinju Academy of other feudal towns is similar to the content of the newspaper compiled by the Jinju Academy of other feudal towns.

The Liaodong Shogunate was only a fictitious shogunate, with only a staff and no territory or army, so the summary of the situation of the shogunate seemed hollow, and trivial matters were listed in a grand manner, as if to make up enough space to show that the compilers had put in the effort and heart, and did not have the food and clothing of white-collar workers.

"What kind of reputation can be seen in such a decent newspaper."

People who don't understand Guan Qiao will sigh like this after reading the Liaodong Di newspaper.

But Li Mao carefully spent every Liaodong Mansion newspaper he received, and he was very careful, and he refused to let go of a word.

In this Di Bao, Hu Nanxiang mostly uses Spring and Autumn penmanship to hide many news that are not known to outsiders in the middle of seemingly ordinary news events, and every word in this Di Bao has his special meaning.

The words are still those words, how to interpret them is a science, and this knowledge can only be understood by Li Mao and his close assistants, and this newspaper is destined to be read and understood only by his own people.

The Di Bao was sent to Li Mao on schedule through the national post transmission system, but because the grassland was too vast, the fragile post transmission system could not guarantee the timeliness at all, and the few Di newspapers Li Mao saw were not the latest, and the earliest one was even a month ago.

Compared with the fragile post system, the communication system of Longshou Mountain is more primitive and backward, and Li Mao completely cut off contact with Chang'an less than ten days after entering the grassland.

These days, he mainly relied on the imperial court post system to transmit information from the three newspapers of Liaodong, Weibo, and Ziqing, as for the diplomatic communication system of Honglu Temple, it was not much better than Longshou Mountain, and the timeliness and reliability were extremely poor.

The post system is like a human nerve, and if something goes wrong with the nervous system, it is absolutely fatal.

Li Mao closed the newspaper, closed his eyes and began to seriously think about how to create an efficient and reliable post transmission system under the existing material and technical conditions to strengthen Datang's nerves.

Because he was too tired, Li Mao fell asleep not long after closing his eyes.

He had a dream in which on a green meadow, Ru wore a wreath on her head and rode a fiery red pony happily to a blue ocean, surrounded by colorful butterflies that enshrined her like a princess of flowers. The chick hasn't seen her for a few days, as if she has changed into a different person, her cheeks are plump, her body is plump, and her body is full of charming atmosphere.

Li Mao shouted at her and drove the horse to meet him, and Xiao Ruwang saw him happily turning the horse's head and running towards him.

The distance between the two became shorter and shorter, so short that he could already see the tears of excitement in Xiao Ru's eyes.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the grassland, and the butterflies around Xiaoru suddenly disappeared without a trace, the grassland was shaking, the sea in the distance was rippling, the sea was rattling, and finally after a loud bang, the earth trembled, and a deep ditch suddenly cracked on the green grassland.

The width of the deep ditch is expanding dramatically, and soon the bottom is not visible, a white wave gushes out of the ditch, the white sea water gushes out, the ravine becomes a narrow sea, the narrow sea evolves into the ocean, and the two people who are about to meet meet are indefinite, and they are getting farther and farther apart.

Xiao Ru's face was full of anxiety, and she called out to him loudly: "Brother Mao, take me home." ”

After a stirring spirit, Li Mao woke up and turned around, and in front of him was a small wooden table and a clear oil lamp on the table. He was in the tent of the march.

Li Mao wiped the hot sweat on his forehead, and just breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was raised again: a figure was reflected on the wall of the sleeping tent, and a person was standing outside, and the person who came was less than two feet away from him, and if he wanted to assassinate him in such a short distance, Li Mao would definitely die.

"Ahem." The visitor coughed.

"Who?"

"Me."

Xi Bao slid in with her shoulders open the curtain door, she was wearing the narrow sleeves and short brown that the grassland bearded women often wear, black leather boots, clean and neat, very chic, and the belt at the waist was very tight, squeezing her chest bulging.

Xi Bao held a wooden plate in his hand, and placed a bowl of freshly stewed lamb and a plate of pickled ginger.

"Uncle Song said, I will serve you to eat in the future."

"Oh, it doesn't have to be that way, I have people in my house who serve."

"You think Lao Tzu wants to serve you, it was Uncle Song who gave me a military order."

"The military order is like a mountain, and it has to be followed. It's good. ”

Xi Bao laid out the mutton soup bowl and pickles, put away the plate and walked out.

Li Mao just picked up the chopsticks and saw that she was leaving, so he said, "Let's go?" ”

"Joke, Lao Tzu only serves you to eat, and you still want Lao Tzu to serve you to sleep."

Accustomed to being the leader of the cavalry team, Xibao is used to speaking in a rough voice, and her partners are younger than him, watching them grow up with bare buttocks, it is inevitable that they are a little shy about talking.

After Xi Bao said this, his cheeks were still red. She hurried out.

Xibao's mutton stew is very bad, and the mutton is also good mutton, but the taste is really average, Li Mao is not used to eating at night, but Xibao's kindness he doesn't dare to brush, after drinking the last mouthful of mutton soup, Li Mao deliberately burped with satisfaction.

Xibao floated in like a gust of wind, lowered his head, put away the dishes, turned around and left. Li Mao coughed, Xibao stopped, but did not speak.

"Well, you don't have to bother so much in the future. Rest early. ”

"Do you think Lao Tzu thinks, Lao Tzu is ......"

Li Mao frowned and said, "I know you are acting on orders, but did your Uncle Song tell you that you have to listen to me when you go out of the grassland?" ”

"Haven't you been out of the prairie yet?"

Xibao said to Li Mao, arched the curtain, and walked out.

At the eastern foot of Yinshan Mountain, after the Daqingchuan River, and then to the south is the Zhenwu Military Defense Area, and as soon as the post transmission system is passed, Li Mao's ears and eyes will also be connected.

In the few months since he left Datang, a lot of things have happened in Datang, some of which have dispersed like smoke and clouds, and some of which have to be taken seriously.

Wei Gao, the king of Nankang, who had been in charge of Xichuan for more than 20 years, died of illness in early April, and Liu Pi, the deputy envoy of the Zhidu on his deathbed.

It is not in line with the rules of the feudal marshal to raise himself as the deputy envoy of the branch, but Liu Pi has never led the army, nor has he governed the place, and his only merit is to collect money, help Wei Gao, the king of Nankang, to loot the land of Xichuan, and then help Wei Gao to import the looted money into Chang'an to tie the sacred heart.

Wei Gao has been able to sit firmly in the Xichuan Festival for more than 20 years, in addition to having prestige to deter the locality, he has the means to settle the Tubo and Nanzhao, and the credit of the deputy envoy of the degree is not in a small number.

Without the continuous support of the people of Xichuan Town, how could the magnates in Chang'an City let Wei Gao sit firmly in Xichuan for 20 years? In the end, you will give him a loyalty and righteousness?

Liu Pi has been in charge of Xichuan financial power for more than ten years, and has made outstanding achievements, and he has won the trust of Wei Gao.

When Li Mao was still serving as a young eunuch in Xingqing Palace, he learned some top-secret information about Xichuan, Wei Gao and Liu Pi from Li Yu. Wei Gao has been rampant in Xichuan for many years, the people are very resentful, and the officials and soldiers at the bottom are also extremely dissatisfied with him.

Once the ugliness accumulated by Xichuan in the past 20 years is revealed, those Xichuan staff and generals who have followed Wei Gao for many years, have been promoted by him, and have shared the dirt with him, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take risks.

Although the Xichuan soldiers are not as fierce and good at fighting as the four towns of Heshuo, the terrain is steep, and once they follow the example of the four towns of Heshuo and embark on the road of armed confrontation against the imperial court, the situation will instantly become out of control.

Wei Gao has two great achievements in supporting Li Yu to ascend the throne and supporting the crown prince to supervise the country, he doesn't want the court to add his officials, and he has long been out of sight, the only thing he wants is that after his death, Xichuan can be calm.

This is naturally not all for the sake of the court, but also for the sake of his future generations, once the black curtain of Xichuan is revealed, even if his soul is in Jiuquan, the corpse buried in the soil will not be dug up and whipped into broken bones and rotten flesh, and then thrown into a stinky ditch, pressed on a soul stone, and will never be able to turn over.

Let Liu Bi, who has been dirty and evil, take over as the envoy of Jiedu, and he will naturally actively help him wipe his buttocks, protect his loyal name, and protect his family descendants.

If he wants to subdue his ambitious generals and sit firmly on the throne, he must obtain the support of the imperial court, he will listen carefully to the words of the imperial court, and willingly act as a ballast stone for the imperial court, ensuring that the big ship of Xichuan will not learn from the four towns of Heshuo and take risks and go to the evil road of secession against Chang'an.

Wei Gao had good intentions, and the father and son emperors in the Chang'an Palace were grateful to his old Cheng Mouguo, and made a promise that they would never prosecute his crimes in his lifetime, so that he could be a ghost under Jiuquan.

However, Li Mao is not very optimistic about Liu Pi, a deputy envoy of the branch, relying on the favor of the envoy of the festival, he can cover the sky with one hand in Xichuan, but let him be alone, but he may not be qualified, governing the army is different from governing the people, and it is different from managing wealth, a person who has never been in the military wants to subdue the three armies, and the difficulty is as great as ascending to the sky.

If Liu Pi can't suppress the position, the ship of Xichuan will still capsize, Chang'an can tolerate the feudal towns of Hebei against the imperial court, but it must not tolerate the disrespect of Xichuan to the imperial court under his nose, since Xuanzong took refuge in Chengdu, it has become the backyard and refuge of the Tang Dynasty, and Xichuan has gradually become the prime minister's place to return to Xiang.

Chang'an can accept a domineering loyal slave who has been guarding the shelter for himself for the time being, but he will never let the shelter become the front line against the imperial court.

Once there is an abnormality in Xichuan, it is extremely likely that the imperial court will take military action, which Li Yu and Du Huangshang have reminded him of.

For this reason, Li Mao had already set up the Longshou Mountain Chengdu Branch in Chengdu to send additional personnel to the entire territory of Xichuan to form a huge surveillance network to monitor Liu Pi's every move and prepare for possible actions taken by the imperial court in the future.
