The Hero Monument is nine zhang high, and almost all the soldiers under the command of Ma Bin who died on the battlefield can find their names on it.

On this day, the sky was full of dark clouds, and Ma Bin gathered all the soldiers of Nanzheng in front of the hero monument and solemnly worshipped.

The Hero Monument is located in the east of Nanzheng City, and there is a specially built Hero Temple behind it, and the main entrance of the temple is hung with a plaque of "Loyal and Righteous Heroic Soul" written by Ma Bin himself.

Tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in this not too empty open space, and around the soldiers were a large number of Hanzhong people.

Under the arrangement of Guo Jia and Yang Fu, when all the soldiers were sacrificed in batches, Ma Bin stood on a high place and said loudly: "Brothers, they died for Hanzhong!" It's our hero! There are those who live but are dead, and there are those who are dead but live forever in our hearts. We can't let their blood be shed in vain, we want them to continue to overcome obstacles and fight their way through the blood with the encouragement of their heroic souls, so as to benefit the people of the world! ”

When Ma Bin said this, there were suddenly several thunderstorms in the sky, and it rained heavily, but no one in the tens of thousands of soldiers and onlookers was panicked. And Ma Bin continued: "Brothers, now we have won a piece of the world with our own hands, but there are still many people in the world who are living in dire straits waiting for us to rescue, are you willing to glorify your ancestors with this general and benefit the people of the world?" ”

"Yes! Willing! ”

Mixed with bursts of thunder, the shouts of the soldiers were even more deafening and resounding in the sky.

"Good! Today, I, Ma Bin, swear here that I will take everyone to complete the great cause that the heroes have not completed and benefit thousands of people! ”

After that, Ma Bin picked up a bowl of wine and spilled half of it in front of the Hero Monument, while he drank the other half.

Seeing that the rain was too strong, Ma Bin let everyone disperse. There are still many people who take sacrifices and count them in the Heroes Temple, and after seeing this scene, Ma Bin was very moved.

After returning to Jingtian Mansion, seeing that Ma Bin was wet all over, Yun Ying and Diao Chan hurriedly asked Ma Bin to change his clothes.

After Ma Bin came to the lobby after changing his clothes, he said to the two: "Why don't you see Zhao Ji?" ”

Diao Chan smiled: "You can guess this without us talking about it!" ”

"In the study?"

Diao Chan said: "She can stay in the study all day long!" Looks like the general really has to find something for her to do. Otherwise, it is not the way to go. ”

Ma Bin looked up to the sky and laughed: "This is easy to do, I have already discussed it with Master Yang, and she will be busy soon!" Go and call her. ”

After Diao Chan left the lobby, Ma Bin said to Yun Ying: "How do you feel about training these days?" ”

"The sisters are very hardworking, and I'm sure they'll be able to give the men a little bit of color in the ring after a while! When the time comes, I will see who would dare to say that we are playing with fists and legs all day long! ”

Ma Bin couldn't help but smile and said, "That's what you want!" Okay, when the time comes, you can show the soldiers how powerful the women's barracks are! ”

Yun Ying said: "When the time comes, can I go up to the stage and show my hands?" ”

"Absolutely! At that time, several generals can go up and have a fight! ”

Ma Bin regretted it a little after saying this, he knew that according to Yun Ying's current skills, Yin Feng and Wang Zheng and others would definitely not be able to beat her, and as for Zhang Liao and Wang Meng. He's not going to jump to conclusions.

often let Yin Feng be cannon fodder, Ma Bin feels that this seems to be a bit unacceptable to him, but as a man, it is also a good thing to be hit! If he hadn't been stimulated by jumping over the dirt wall last time, maybe he wouldn't have improved so fast.

Between words with Yunying, Diao Chan had already arrived in the lobby with Zhao Ji.

After Ma Bin asked the three of them to sit down, he said, "Zhao Ji, didn't you ask General Ben to find you a job to do some time ago?" There's really a big thing right now, but I don't know if you're willing to do it? ”

It's a big deal to hear. Cai Zhaoji immediately straightened up and said, "I thank the general for looking up to Zhaoji, but please speak up." Akihime will do her best to complete it! ”

Ma Bin said: "Although Hanzhong is not big now, the people in various places cannot understand the measures we have taken in time, and in addition, if General Ben is fighting outside, they will not be able to know the results of the battle quickly, so General Ben plans to ask you to set up a newspaper called 'Xiao Hanzhong'." ”

For the first time, the trio had heard the term "newspaper". Undoubtedly, you look at me, I look at you, very puzzled.

When Ma Bin and Guo Jia mentioned this matter, Guo Jia was also confused, but after Ma Bin explained it to him carefully. Guo Jia is very much in favor of running a newspaper.

If Ma Bin said, a newspaper is a print publication that is regularly distributed to the public, mainly news and commentary on current affairs. It is an important carrier of mass communication and has the function of reflecting and guiding social public opinion. He reckoned that they would be even more ignorant.

So Ma Bin smiled and said, "Isn't there Cai Hou paper now?" We will write down all the big and small things that have happened in Hanzhong recently and the various measures we have implemented to benefit the people, and then find someone to copy a large number of copies of the book, and have special people send them to various places, so that the people in various places can know the recent big and small events in time. After you get started, this newspaper can not only publish the big and small things that happened in Hanzhong, but also the big and small things that happened in the world. ”

Cai Zhaoji looked at Ma Bin intently and listened extremely seriously. Yun Ying interrupted him and said, "Now that there are so many people in Hanzhong, how many people do you have to find to copy how many newspapers?" ”

Of course, Ma Bin has considered this question of Yunying, but there is no decent printing technology at all now, and that kind of thing is not his thing, so he can only use manual transcription for the time being.

Ma Bin said: "For the time being, it will be sent to the counties and county orders, so that they will know in advance, and then post notices to inform the people of the counties." Or put up newspapers in crowded places in the counties, so you don't have to copy so many copies! When we are mature, we can further expand the ranks of newspapers, and when the time comes, we can not only show them to the people of Hanzhong, but also to the people of the world. ”

Cai Zhaoji listened to it, and suddenly said loudly: "How come I never thought of this!" General, Akihime is willing to take orders! ”

Ma Bin didn't expect Cai Zhaoji to agree so happily, he smiled and said, "This is an extremely difficult road!" You have to think about it, there is no regret medicine. ”

Cai Zhaoji smiled and said, "General don't worry! Akihime promised to set up this newspaper, but when the design was just beginning, the general needed to help Akihime and get involved! ”

Ma Bin laughed and said, "Of course! I'll tell Master Yang to help you with manpower later, and I'll also vacate a courtyard for you in Jingtianfu for you to run a newspaper!" ”

"Thank you, General!"

Ma Bin shook his head and said, "It's General Ben who thanks you!" I don't think General Ben said it, you can also know the role of this newspaper, right? ”

Cai Zhaoji thought for a while and said: "Let the people know about the major events that have happened as soon as possible, which can stabilize the people's hearts." ”

Ma Bin said: "What you said is only a small aspect. This is equivalent to a self-promotion, except that it is internally now, and it can be externally in the future! It is very beneficial for us to take the initiative to take control of the direction of propaganda. ”

After seeing Cai Zhaoji nodding, Ma Bin said: "You may not be able to fully understand what I said now, but this is not in a hurry, you will understand it after you successfully run the next issue of the newspaper!" ”

Cai Zhaoji said excitedly: "Such an errand, Zhaoji will definitely do her best!" ”

Diao Chan saw that Yunying went to train the army, and Zhao Ji ran the newspaper, so it seemed that she was the only one idle, so she hurriedly said to Ma Bin: "The general will also arrange an errand for me, otherwise I will be idle sooner or later if I am idle like this!" ”

When Cai Zhaoji heard Diao Chan's words, she laughed out loud and said, "Sister Diao Chan has been very busy, your errand is the most important thing!" ”

When Diao Chan heard this, her delicate face immediately turned red. And Ma Bin coughed twice and said: "Your errand is to be the housekeeper of Jingtian Mansion, if General Ben is outside, all the big and small things in this Jingtian Mansion have to be decided by you." ”

Yun Ying said: "This is indeed a very important errand! ”

Hearing Ma Bin say this, Diao Chan certainly knew what he meant, so he said: "Since the general said so, then Diao Chan will take the order." ”

"That's right!"

Seeing that Yun Ying and Zhao Ji said almost in unison, Diao Chan lowered his head and said, "In the future, I will ask the two good sisters to help a lot!" ”

"Definitely!"

"Of course!"

Ma Bin was also quite happy after seeing this scene.

After letting them know what a newspaper was, Ma Bin asked people to bring silk cloth and a brush to demonstrate in front of the three of them what the general structure of the newspaper was and how to typeset it.

Although he said that he didn't have any research on newspapers before his soul pierced, he had read a lot of newspapers, so he still knew the general structure of newspapers, and the newspaper he asked Cai Zhaoji to run now was not complicated, only three or four sections!

He didn't think that it would be very unrealistic to directly ask him to run a high-quality newspaper, and through this step-by-step approach, Ma Bin believes that through Cai Zhaoji's ingenuity, he will definitely be able to run this newspaper in the future.

Since he wants to run a newspaper, he has to teach Cai Zhaoji how to write news, in fact, Ma Bin has not done any research on this point. But in his opinion, since these newspapers are for the general public, they must be able to understand them, which is the most important thing, and the second is that they must be readable, for this, Ma Bin feels that Cai Zhaoji should not be a problem.

Of course, with the idea of running a newspaper, another problem also came, many ordinary people don't know how to read at all! However, after discussing with Guo Jia and others, and also according to their financial resources, Ma Bin planned to establish a number of "schools" in each county, in fact, this kind of school is far from modern schools, mainly composed of buildings, and there are two ways to educate the people, one is to roughly teach those who have reached adulthood to recognize a few words, and the other is to systematically educate children and teenagers.

Although these are only preliminary thoughts now, after thinking about it, Ma Bin suddenly found that in addition to competing with various princes for hegemony and winning the world, he still has too many things to do...... (To be continued.) )
