"Your Majesty, since the closure of the three cities, it has been more than three months now, and the negotiations between Zhang Shilang and Beidi have finally reached a satisfactory conclusion, Beidi is willing to compensate 10,000 war horses and 50,000 cattle and sheep" In the Qianqing Palace, Yang Yan said with a smile, seemingly in a very good mood.

This is because today, the Propaganda Department announced that he accompanied Xiang Chi to inspect the camp in the southern suburbs, and for the first time the newspaper pointed out his identity as the prime minister of Zhongshu, which made him very excited, because the Propaganda Department was directly under the command of Xiang Chi, and without Xiang Chi's consent, it could not be published at will.

"Haha, Zhang Fu did a good job, my request was five thousand war horses, I didn't expect him to raise it to ten thousand" Xiang Chi smiled with satisfaction.

"Really, although Lord Zhang is young, he is mature and steady, decisive and calm, he is really a rare talent in my Dachu, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should also be reported, so that the people can cheer up" Yang Yan suggested with a smile.

Xiang Chi nodded in agreement, handed the manuscript to Zheng Sanbao next to him, and said, "Let someone send it to the secretariat, and ask Du Xuan to write an article and come out to read it."

"Yes"

After Xiang Chi sat down, he said: "Beidi's matter has finally been resolved, but although some gains have been made, it cannot be ignored for those dead soldiers."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Zhongshu Province has already submitted the plan to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, if there is no problem, it can be implemented immediately by the Ministry of Household and Rites," Yang Yan replied.

"Okay, in addition, Zhang Fu's envoy this time has made a lot of contributions, solving the crisis of the border, shaking the majesty of Chu, how do Yang Xiang think he should reward it" Xiang Chi asked.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is young, and he is already a three-grade Zhongshu servant, and above him are the six Shangshu, Zhongshu Shenzhi, Zhongshu Zhang, and all kinds of meritorious deeds, so after discussion, it was decided to promote Zhang Daren to the central counselor, and directly participate in the decision-making of the court," Yang Yan replied.

"Haha" Xiang Chi shook his head with a smile, and said, "That's not good, he's still too young to have this qualification, I should give him the official book."

Yang Yan almost choked, although the Zhongshu Counsellor seems to be noble, but in fact, the two positions are of the same grade, and the right of the Clerk's Counsellor is not at all comparable with the Minister's Chamber, the Clerk's Counsellor is just a participant, that is, he can speak, only the Zhongshu Order and the case can really decide, of course, the Zhongshu Decree has a veto power.

"Your Majesty, this, isn't this too fast, this dynasty is not yet thirty years old and ranks among the six Shangshu, and Han Shangshu is really in the prime of life" Yang Yan coughed and said tactfully.

"I plan to bring Han Aiqing to Zhongshu Province to help you in charge of the case," Xiang Chi said gently.

"What" Yang Yan's face sank, but after hesitating slightly this time, he did clench his fists and said: "Lord Han is indeed the pillar of the country, it is reasonable to enter the Zhongshu Province, and the minister agrees."

This time it was Xiang Chi's turn to be surprised, and he said casually: "What about the location of the secretary of the book?" ”

"This is naturally up to Your Majesty," Yang Yan said.

Xiang Chi raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I think about it."

"Yes"

"Oh! By the way, the original Luoyang Yin Liu Wei, who did nothing, was directly withdrawn by me, you report a name and replace the past" Xiang Chi said as if he had just remembered.

Yang Yan's eyes fluctuated slightly for a while, and he said respectfully: "The minister obeys the order"

"In addition, this matter can't be rushed, wait for Zhang Fu to come back, and don't announce it for the time being," Xiang Chi ordered.

"Yes"

After Yang Yan left, Xiang Chi shook his head: "This old fox is getting more and more shrewd."

Originally, in his expectation, Han Wenliang's entry into Zhongshu Province should be agreed after he took out the case of Li Huilan, but he didn't expect Yang Yan to agree before it started, which can only show two points, first: he saw the problem, it is estimated that that night, he directly withdrew Luoyang Yin in anger, making Yang Yan suspicious, so he turned passive into active, which not only saved his face and showed his generosity, but also got a Luoyang Yin, although this Luoyang Yin is only five products, But he is indeed the great housekeeper of Luoyang.

Second: Although Han Wenliang has been promoted to be in charge of the Zhongshu case, this position seems to be much more respected than the Ministry of Officials, but in fact, the real power is not as good as the Ministry of Officials, Han Wenliang is against him every day, because he controls the Ministry of Officials, and if he enters the Zhongshu Province, although there will be a lot of trouble, but he can't challenge him in the name, because everyone is from the Zhongshu Province, you are openly dealing with him, in fact, you are dealing with yourself, although Yang Yan is not afraid, but every day, he also dares to be annoying.

"It seems that this new official secretary is going to be well chosen," Xiang Chi muttered, this person not only needs to know people, but also has rich experience in struggle.

"Your Majesty, Lord Lin of the Propaganda Department asks to see you" At this time, Zheng Sanbao, who sent someone to the secretariat, walked back again.

"Let him in," Xiang Chi said.

"Yes"

After a while, Lin Li, the former captain of the northern suburbs and now the first person in the Propaganda Department, a nouveau riche of the imperial court, stepped in and said respectfully: "The minister greets Your Majesty"

"Don't be polite, what's the matter" Xiang Chi said gently, Lin Li is indeed a talent, and the luck of the second-grade male master, especially in publicity, is even more handy, and his golden cloud representing loyalty is the biggest Xiang Chi has ever seen.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here this time because the people's demand for daily newspapers is increasing, and now the daily five hundred copies are simply not enough, and now the announcement department is only in Luoyang, which is still far from covering the states of Great Chu," Lin Li said.

"I have wanted to talk to you about this matter for a long time, the Propaganda Department must spread out, I have decided to set up a propaganda branch in the state, which is below the Assassin's Mansion, and all articles to be published need the branch commander and the Assassin's nod, or directly to the Propaganda Department before it can be published" Xiang Chi said solemnly.

"Obey the Order"

"You have to remember that the appearance of newspapers can be laissez-faire without it, and all published articles must go through a strict review process, and there must be no reports of sensitive content without the permission of a state's assassination history, which is not allowed," Xiang Chi said seriously, if there were no restrictions, then a state would not be turned upside down.

"The minister understands, please rest assured that the Propaganda Department will closely follow what Your Majesty says, control public opinion, and be at your Majesty's disposal at any time."

"Very good, as for the fact that there are too few newspapers, I have already asked the Ministry of Industry to urgently build printing plants in various places, with Bi Yan as the chief engineer, and the other people needed, Wenyuan Pavilion has a lot of them, it depends on how you choose" Xiang Chi said.

"Yes, Your Majesty"

"I will set a standard for you, within two years, it must cover all the state capitals of Great Chu, and even the counties" Xiang Chi said.

"Yes"

"Besides, I have one more thing to give you," Xiang Chi held out a finger.

Lin Li immediately lowered his head and approached, listening to him.

"In addition to the Imperial Daily, you are immediately forming a Minsheng Daily, as for the content of the first article, you go to Wei Zhong, he will naturally arrange it, remember, I will see the effect in three days" Xiang Chi said in a low voice.

"The minister understands"

"Go ahead," Xiang Chi waved his hand.

"Yes"

After Lin Li left, Xiang Chi moved his wrist and said with a smile: "I want to see the Xie family, how to block the mouths of the people, how to explain to me?" ”

"Your Majesty, you are planning to move," Zheng Sanbao said.

"Yes, even if Yang Yan agrees to Han Wenliang's entry into the middle book, but the Kangle Hou Mansion is so bold and openly kills people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it must not be lenient, it is really good to use it to rectify the arrogance of those meritorious families" Xiang Chi nodded.

"Your Majesty is wise, but the slave heard that the old marquis Xie once helped the Yu family of the Queen Mother" Hearing this, Zheng Sanbao suddenly whispered.

Xiang Chi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and praised: "What a good Sanbao, worthy of being my chief manager, go, go to Ci'an Palace, and block this last road."

"Yes"
