It's June.

In the past six months, there has been a steady stream of Di newspapers every day, flying into Cangcheng like snowflakes.

Cangcheng, the behemoth's political, economic and trade center, became crowded.

After exploration, the new capital was located at the junction of Che-gun and the former Wanggi Land.

Che County, that is, the original land of Che Country.

In the battle of the Jin Dynasty, the Che country was destroyed, which was completely made by the Cang State alone, so it was not included in the discussion scope of the alliance, and the Che country was naturally all annexed by the Cang State.

Due to the topography, it has been playing the role of a transportation hub to Cangguo for the past two years, and the caravans come and go every day, which is several times more prosperous than before.

The terrain is good, and prosperous, which can be attacked and defended, which is more conducive to the control of the whole country.

Such a place naturally won the favor of the Ministry of Industry, and after reporting to the imperial court and obtaining Yang Mu's approval, the project immediately began, and it was in full swing for several months, with the steel yard and the cement plant running at full capacity, and all the raw materials were continuously transported to the new city.

It is worth mentioning that Wu sent several groups of envoys to negotiate with Cangguo, expressing their willingness to take the initiative to withdraw from Shao, and at the same time to pay a large amount of compensation to Cangguo, and the only plea was that the Qinglong Legion would no longer be an enemy of Wu's army.

This shows that the pressure on Wu Jun is too great and he is about to be unable to support it.

Indeed, the Wu army proved its strength by attacking the state of Shao, and in the past few months, the state of Nguyen and the state of Fan have withdrawn their troops, and the pressure on the state of Wu has plummeted.

However, the Blue Dragon Army was like a bamboo, breaking one city after another, and recovering most of the land of Shao with the Shao army, the Wu army appeared weak again, the Fan State and the Ruan State were ready to move, and the pressure on the Wu army increased again.

Hearing this, this incident made the Emperor of Wu so angry that he fainted, and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood in public.

However, Yang Muke didn't bother to pay attention to these bad things, and he recently focused on the bottlenecks encountered in domestic development.

What is the bottleneck?

As we all know, the cultural promotion of Cangguo is very good, and the cohesion of the common people is also very strong.

This is a stage that a nation must go through in the process of formation.

However, Yang Mu always felt that something was missing.

After thinking about it, I realized that the knowledge in the textbooks was all copied from the library.

Now there are so many readers in Cangguo, tens of millions, why is there no one to write stories, or something, to make innovations?

There are so many heroic deeds of the six legions, why is no one paying attention to them?

As an emperor, there are so many positive examples, why don't outsiders know about them?

How did public opinion do it!

If you want to shape a new culture, you must be innovative, and you can't stick to the things in the library.

"Dacang Times" can take on this task, but over the years, the performance situation seems to be a bit rigid, at most some high-pressure jokes and fables and the like, not to the point where you can create your own story.

After all, it is an official product, and its usefulness is also very clear, due to the limitation of layout, Yang Mu did not force "Dacang Times" to take up this task, so he thought, should I encourage domestic scholars to devote themselves to creation?

In other words, shouldn't those idle scholars take the lead in stimulating Cangguo's ability to innovate in words?

So, in the hot June, Yang Mu summoned Wang Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to discuss the matter together.

At the beginning, Wang Ying was still relatively dull, and he was completely at a loss about this matter, but after several explanations from Yang Mu, he finally understood the meaning.

When he left the palace, Wang Ying's heart couldn't help but become curious.

Because with his understanding of His Majesty the Emperor, the latter would never do anything unhelpful, and he was an emperor who could not afford to be unprofitable, unless it was about leisure and entertainment.

It's very strange to reveal such a meaning for no reason.

Could it be that Your Majesty also loves to listen to stories?

Or, like most people, can't wait for the small stories in the "Dacang Times" and want to read more at once?

Or are you dissatisfied with the way the Ministry of Rites is written, and feel that the Ministry of Rites is too rigid?

The emperor said a word, and the courtiers guessed that they broke their intestines.

Wang Ying was very distressed and left the palace worriedly.

Then, according to Yang Mu's instructions, he began to organize some scholars with this talent to try to write some stories.

After half a month, a total of more than 1,000 stories were presented in front of Yang Mu's desk.

"Hmm...... All these fables and small stories and the like, I still haven't jumped out of the thinking of the Dacang Times. ”

Yang Mu was a little disappointed, in his opinion, the scholars who had grown up through the cramming education of the Ministry of Education of Cangguo seemed to be accustomed to the stories instilled by the imperial court, and they were also accustomed to some popular literary styles, and they could make innovations very well.

Moreover, perhaps because they are to be presented to the emperor, these small stories are very positive, and no one dares to write too biased.

However, he finally watched some stories with strong stories, and the style is a bit like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Three kingdoms?

Yes!

Yang Mu came to be interested, the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is three points true, if it is written according to the official history, it is estimated that no one will read it at all, but through text polishing and character building, it is written in a situation, and the readability is very strong.

Like Guan Yunchang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu, Xu You...... Aren't there many such people in Cangguo?

No?

A must!

Isn't it just packaging?

Generals like Wei Zhongquan, Sima Hong, Qu Yong, and Geng Gui are too malleable, and everyone has shining points to discover.

Even if there is no shining point, make it to discover it.

"Hmm...... Call these people to me, especially the one named Xu Leshui, and ask him to write another article for me to see. ”

Yang Mu handed a stack of papers to Wang Ying's hand, which could be regarded as the tallest among the short.

Wang Ying wondered in his heart, the person named Xu Leshui knew that he was different among all these scholars, and when he first received these stories, he was still thinking about whether he should throw them away, in case he made His Majesty unhappy......

What I didn't expect was that it was such a story that he almost discarded, but it was favored by His Majesty the Emperor.

The reason why I say favor is because Yang Mu said that he would write another article and take a look, not that he should be arrested.

Obviously, I want to take the test again.

Wang Ying is also an old man in the court, he is old and fine, and he is well versed in the twists and turns, once he is appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor, it will really be regarded as a soaring talent.

For example, Kong Shangxian, Geng Gui, Ou Ye, Zeng Thirteen, which of these people is not Jian Zai's heart, and he has risen to prominence all of a sudden?
