Out of respect for the master, Jia Liu, the governor, did not sit on the throne, but sat opposite Xu Ji.

Speaking of which, he and Xu Ji are not only dog official teammates who jointly embezzle, embezzle military salaries, lie about military merits, and privately distribute grain (silver), but also fellow villagers of the Eight Banners.

Because Xu Ji was also born in the Blue Banner of the Han Army, the old house in Beijing is separated from Jia's house by three alleys.

Even Xu Jijin and Jia Liu are taking the same path - donating.

The difference is that Xu Ji donated a positive six-grade general judgment to himself.

Jia Liu bought himself a nine-grade Lan Lingchang.

That is, one starts at the bureau level, and the other is probably the deputy director of the village.

Of course, Xu Futai and Governor Jia are also from the same background but not the same fate.

From a sixth-grade bureau-level cadre to a second-grade deputy senior official, Xu Futai took thirty years.

It took only three years for Governor Jia to go from being the deputy director of the village committee to becoming a senior official of the ministry.

This speed, among the high-ranking officials of the Qianlong Dynasty, is first-class, second only to the dozen or so Ah Piao at the top and the number of dead ghosts in the queue.

The accompanying officials in Tianjin also included Wang Mou, Changlu Yanzheng Jiang, and Ye Qing, the chief military officer.

On the governor's side are Yang Zhi, director of the office, Ding Qing, deputy director, and deputy general Baozhu.

The layout of the venue was also arranged according to the requirements of the Governor's Office, that is, they sat in rows, and three eight-immortal tables were used in the middle to form a rectangular table.

Put a clean tablecloth on the table, and place tea bowls, paper and pens and other items.

It looks simple yet elegant.

Several reporters from the "Daqing Daily" were on the right side of the venue, that is, at the gate, one person and one stool, recording and writing on the spot, in order to achieve the timeliness and accuracy of the report.

Although he was very unaccustomed to this kind of meeting, Xu Futai, as the host, tried his best to adapt himself to Jia Jia's arrangement, and tried to put a kind and kind smile on his face, so that his image could be positively reported in the "Daqing Daily", which was founded by the Governor.

The "Daqing Daily," which has been in operation for several months, has now become an indispensable newspaper on the desks of officials of all sizes in the province under the strong recommendation and administrative promotion of the Governor's Yamen and the Buzheng Yamen.

Tianjin is no exception.

In order to support Jia Jia's new policy in Zhili, Xu Futai instructed the relevant departments to increase the number of copies of the "Daqing Daily" from the original 4,000 to 15,000 copies last month, and allocated special funds to build newspaper kiosks in various prefectures and counties in Tianjin, so that the voice and spirit of the governor can be better conveyed to the ears of the military and people in Tianjin.

After knowing that the Governor General was about to come to Tianjin for inspection, Xu Futai even demanded that the post stations that were not under the jurisdiction of Tianjin must also subscribe to the "Daqing Daily", and at the same time demanded that the large and small guilds in Tianjin must also subscribe to the newspaper, and link the number of subscriptions with the management and performance of the peer associations.

For example, the number of orders received by the dung shop is 100 copies, but if the dung shop really orders 100 copies, then the dung head has to be replaced.

By the time Jia Liu arrived in Tianjin, the circulation of Daqing Daily in Tianjin had reached a record of more than 31,000 copies, which was the sum of the four prefectures of Baoding, Daming, Hejian, and Zhengding.

Jia Liu was very happy about this, and spoke highly of Xu Ji, the governor of Tianjin, believing that this old fellow was an excellent bureaucrat who spoke about politics, understood politics, and kept pace with the times, and was a person of insight whom he could fully trust and let go of cooperation.

It's not the kind of decadent old man who is lifeless, immutable, and completely out of tune with the world.

Jia Liu personally wrote a report entitled "The Spring Breeze of Reform Blows All Over the Land, and the Military and Civilians in Tianjin Really Fight for Spirit" in the Dagu Water Camp, in which the focus is on Xu Futai.

However, this manuscript has not yet been published.

Whether it can be sent or when it will be sent depends on the outcome of today's talks.

If the talks collapse, another article called "Who is the Enemy of the Qing Dynasty" will be released, and the spearhead will be directed at Xu Ji, and it will be accompanied by the impeachment of Xu Ji.

In addition to propaganda and guidance, newspapers are also a sharp weapon for cracking down on anti-Qing elements.

What is an anti-Qing element?

There is only one answer - to oppose Lord Jia Jia is to oppose the Qing Dynasty.

Jia Liu, who is a human being in two lifetimes, is flexible in this regard.

If necessary, he could even ask the "Daqing Daily" to publish a tracking report on whether Qianlong was a Manchu or a Han in the form of an extra number, so that the mystery of Qianlong's life experience, which had been settled, became confusing again.

But now it seems that Xu Ji is still very pragmatic.

Officials who like money are interested in how to get money.

Not to mention anything else, only Xu Futai's attention to the "Daqing Daily" can be seen that this fellow of the Zhenglan Banner knows the weight of the new governor of Zhili.

As the governor and the number one leader of the Jingshi portal, what happened to the Jingshi a few years ago, Xu Futai must know clearly.

The importance attached to the "Daqing Daily" by all localities is in the interests of Jia Liu.

He was afraid that he would not pay attention to it.

In order for officials of all sizes to pay attention to the content published in the newspaper, he almost said that the "Daqing Daily" is a prop for your promotion and fortune.

All the tricks to progress are written in the newspapers.

"So, let's get started."

Under Jia Liu's cordial gesture, Zhu Zhu got up and reported to the Tianjin governor and relevant officials on the opposite side of the Eight Banners Navy Division's rebellion, which was also the first time that the accompanying daily reporters knew about this incident, and they couldn't help but show shocked and incredulous eyes.

The materials related to the rebellion of the Eight Banners Navy Division were also handed to Tianjin officials and reporters as soon as possible, and before that, these materials were all top secret and had only been submitted to the Beijing Military Aircraft Department.

Now, a month has passed, and it can be made public or the details of the incident can be reported in the Daqing Daily, so as to deter the anti-Qing elements lurking underwater.

Of course, others don't know the inside story, but Xu Futai still knows, and the day after the incident, he received a relevant report from Lord Jia Jia, and at that time he also made it clear that he firmly supported the Governor's handling of the rebels.

However, this did not affect Xu Futai to stand up slowly, accusing the rebel group headed by Chang Jiu with righteous indignation and a fierce tone.

Jia Liu also listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

After that, on behalf of the Governor-General, Zhu Zhu submitted the "Memorandum of Understanding on the Construction and Development of Tianjin" to the Lord Futai.

It's just a booklet.

There are 120 pages in total, which completely record the industrial affairs founded by the Governor in Tianjin, as well as the construction of trade, roads, and customs.

As a result, the two sides exchanged views on the current development issue of Tianjin, and the atmosphere was quite warm and the conversation was very pleasant.

In the end, Jia Liu got up and said that the meeting between the governor and the governor was over, and that he would hold a private meeting with the governor next, which was not suitable for public reporting.

"Exit the reporter!"

Ding Qing, deputy director of the Governor's Office, got up and led the reporters of the "Daqing Daily" to leave the venue.

The accompanying officials of both sides also returned the venue to the governor with interest.

Jia Liuchun watched the Xiucai of the reporting team leave the scene with a full face, and deliberately walked to the side of a young painter and cordially asked the other party if he had finished painting.

"My lord, it's done!"

The painter hurriedly presented the sketchpad in his hand to the Governor.

But seeing the Governor and the Governor in the painting, the two large hands clasped tightly together under the mirror, each other's eyes are not only full of trust in each other, but also full of desire for the future.

Jia Liu nodded, basically satisfied.

In the past, the "Daqing Daily" always reported in words, which lacked flexibility and vividness, so he suggested to the bolt pillar in charge of the newspaper whether to ask a painter to draw some portraits of the Governor General as illustrations, so that readers could more intuitively feel the Governor's responsibility to the people of the province and how to make plans for the economic development of Zhili.

Technically, there is no problem.

Spring pictures can be printed in batches, not to mention newspaper pictures.

Then there were more famous painters in the reporting team, and it was still officially compiled.

Before becoming an official of the Qing Dynasty, Master Li specialized in painting ancestral shafts for people.

It is the portrait of the ancestors hanging in the ancestral hall.

For the shaping of facial expressions of characters, it is very professional.

The full-body portrait of the Governor he painted was immediately photographed by the Governor.

Because, the painting is so powerful.

is so powerful that Jia Liu doesn't look in the mirror and thinks that the person in the painting is himself.

After clearing the venue, there were only Governor Jia and Xu Futai in the empty venue.

"Xiaguan,"

Xu Futai was about to break the silence, but he saw the governor on the other side come to his side around the table, patted him on the shoulder as if he hadn't seen an old friend for many years, and said sincerely: "Old Xu, don't say anything else, as long as you support my work, I will give you 300,000 taels of dividends a year after trade, how about it?" ”

After that, I didn't forget to add, "Even if you return it, this money is a lot of money, how about it?" ”
