In a hurry, the coachman, who had a very speculative chat with Lewis, took the initiative to intercede. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and use their own identity documents as a guarantee. But the staff was not moved. Lewis had no choice but to ask the driver to go to the newspaper headquarters to inform his assistant Xiao Zhang and deliver his ID documents.

After waiting like this for more than an hour, he looked forward to the stars and the moon before Xiao Zhang came. The staff finally let him into town after a detailed check of his identity documents.

This is still affected by the last coup d'état in Ming Beijing, so that the high-level Ming Dynasty retained the inspection system for entering the city.

It's just that after Lewis entered the city, he didn't go far when he heard a familiar cry in his ears: "Cook cake Luo!" Fragrant and delicious cookcake Luo! ”。 When Lewis heard this, his horse felt a trance. Look at the fish-white cement streets, bustling with people. His whole mind also instantly sank into the hustle and bustle of the market.

Xiao Zhang, who had just come back from renting a car, saw Lewis losing his mind. With a sour nose, he said with concern: "President, where did you go last night?" I waited in front of the hotel all night, but I didn't see you come back. ”。 Originally, after dawn, he was ready to call the police. As a result, the police said that they had to be missing for three days before they could open a case for investigation.

So in desperation, he could only wait anxiously in the newspaper.

Interrupted from his thoughts, Lewis came back to his senses. Seeing the assistant's worried eyes, a warm current welled up in his heart. He pretended to smile lightly and responded: "I went to see an old friend, I fell, it's not a big deal." ”。 Maybe it's because of the Mughals! In the newspaper office, he fell in love with this untouchable man whose original surname was Shudra.

It's also that he has always had a regret in his heart! That's the relatives on the Bengali side, and not one is left dead. So even if Daming marries a wife and has children, it mixes well. I always feel that my heart is empty.

So that when Xiao Zhang, who came from the same place, applied for the job, he was caught by him at a glance.

Although among the members of the newspaper, Xiao Zhang is not the smartest. But when it comes to use, it's quite practical. The loyalty of the Shudra hierarchy was undoubtedly manifested in him.

Listening to Lewis's response at this moment, Xiao Zhang's green face showed a little grievance. He lowered his head and muttered, "The president is going to go far away, and he won't say a word." It's such a big night, so people are waiting. ”。

"Isn't this coming back?" Lewis said, and he was ready to get in the car.

But I didn't want to, and a newsboy suddenly ran through the street.

Just listen: "Outside! Extra! Nanyang overseas consulates were abolished, and Daming added ten provinces. ”，

"Extra! Extra! The status of Johor Bahru is undecided, and it is imperative to move the capital. ”，

"Extra! Extra! The Minister of Finance took office, accompanied by the Director of the Navy. Perhaps because the news was so strong, many people began to rush to buy newspapers in the hands of newsboys.

Lewis, out of his professional news sense, also asked Xiao Zhang to buy a few copies back.

As soon as he got the newspaper, Lewis was engrossed in reading the contents of the paper.

I saw the four big characters of "Daming Daily", which was the first to catch my eye. As a newspaper directly under the Ming Propaganda Department, it is completely controlled by the government. "Daming Daily" has always been better informed than other newspapers. Its accuracy and authority are not comparable to other newspapers.

Therefore, the news published above generally has a decisive influence.

Looking at the headlines on the front page, the words 'abolish the overseas consulates of Nanyang and reform the town and build a province' are particularly eye-catching.

Although on weekdays, Lewis pays more attention to lace news. But that doesn't mean you don't pay attention to national issues. Like his family, he subscribes to the newspaper "Daming Daily" on a quarterly basis.

After all, many of the country's real-time decrees are closely related to people's lives. A businessman like him naturally has to grasp it in real time. lest something be missed, the opportunity is missed or the Advocacy Division is frowned upon.

The South China Morning Post, which used to be the third-best-selling newspaper in Mingjing, was banned and banned for publishing articles that violated the Ming Dynasty's decrees. So now, completely disappeared without a trace.

In order for the newspaper community to remember this lesson. The Propaganda Department also used it as a negative example for major newspapers to observe and learn. Therefore, the newspaper industry has also learned from it.

With this in mind, Lewis looked at the relevant explanations of the cuts.

According to the above, in order to promote the development of the Nanyang region and maintain the long-term peace and stability of the local area. The Cabinet decided to completely abolish the administrative structure of the former Nanyang Overseas Territories. The subordinate military towns of the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, Luzon, Mindanao, Sulawesi, and Ceylon were merged into ten provinces.

They are North Malaysia Province upgraded from North Malaysia Town, South Malaysia Province upgraded from South Malaysia Town, Sumatra Province formed by merging Sumatra towns, East Borneo Province upgraded from East Borneo Town, West Borneo Town upgraded into West Borneo Province, Luzon Province formed by merging Luzon Town with Visayas Town and Palawan Town, Medan Town upgraded into Medan Province, Cochin Town upgraded into Cochin Province, Sulawesi Town upgraded into Sulawesi, and Ceylon Town upgraded into Ceylon Province.

The leased cities of Jiading, Yangon, and Mumbai will maintain their original administrative systems.

As a result, the previous policy restrictions on military towns have been basically abolished. The people living there should also follow the instructions of the Daming Immigration Department and resettle. It cannot be ruled out that there will be a relocation of indigenous peoples.

For Qing immigrants stranded in Cochin Province, they will also be diverted to the newly established ten provinces on a proportional basis. This is a proximity arrangement that takes into account distance and resources.

In the end, these ten provinces are vast and sparsely populated. The environmental carrying capacity is also relatively large. In addition, the Ming Dynasty also needs to dilute and assimilate the local aborigines. Therefore, this immigration arrangement abandons the previous principle of giving priority to moving into the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, it will also save time and speed up the resettlement of Qing immigrants.

Seeing this, Lewis's mind also came to life. Because in the past, the Nanyang Overseas Territory was a military administrative area. Therefore, in all respects, a military high-pressure posture has been adopted. All private or commercial activities that are detrimental to local stability are prohibited.

As a result, many places in the overseas territory of Nanyang were forbidden for outsiders to set foot in before.

Only a few large coastal cities such as Johor Bahru, Pontianak, Aceh and Manila are allowed to carry out merchant activities. The only local newspaper in Daming is "Daming Daily", which is allowed to be distributed in Nanyang.

Therefore, on the whole, the Nanyang Overseas Territory is relatively closed and conservative.

Now that the province has been withdrawn, the commercial policies of these places will also converge with the Ming Dynasty. Some prohibited commercial activities will also be permitted. His newspaper, for example, has the possibility of expanding to these ten provinces.

There are too many newspapers in Mingjing, and the competitiveness in the industry is really great. Other local provinces, on a first-come, first-served basis, have long been carved up by large newspapers. made him have to struggle to survive in the land of Mingjing.

Even if he found another way, other newspapers quickly borrowed from it. So in order to maintain an advantage, he often racks his brains to come up with new ideas.

Now that he has the opportunity to develop elsewhere, his pressure will be reduced a lot.
