Hong Si and Tian Zhuangfei finally got into the study of the auxiliary political king.

They were also the only ones who didn't complain to Zhu Linmiao about their lack of money tonight, and on the contrary, they seemed to have extremely good money.

"Your Highness, the Propaganda Department has now recruited more than 300 people in Guangxi, and the training before taking office is also nearing completion, and now the Propaganda Department is being built at the same time in more than 40 counties of 15 state capitals."

"Forty counties?" Zhu Linmiao was stunned when she heard this, and interrupted Hong Sidao, "This will cost a lot of silver, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for the household department to allocate silver to you recently." ”

A look of pride flashed on Hong Si's face, and then he said: "Your Highness, the Propaganda Department can still take out 1670,000 taels of silver, but you don't need to work with the Ministry of Households." ”

Zhu Linmiao stared at him and said, "How much silver do you have in the account of the Propaganda Department?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the entry from Guangdong last month has not yet arrived, and there are nearly 300,000 taels left in the warehouse."

Zhu Linmiao gasped in her heart, well, the income of this Propaganda Department is several times higher than that of the Macao Customs Department!

"You're not raising the price of advertising, are you?"

Hong Si hurriedly said: "How dare the lower officials." It's just that in the past few months, the merchants who have been preached by the mission government are doing very good business, and under their word of mouth, there is an endless stream of people who want to buy advertisements.

"Almost all missionaries today have no less than 20 advertisements in their hands. As for prosperous places such as Tianxingfu, Ganzhou, and Guangzhou, if it were not for the refusal of the lower officials, I was afraid that hundreds of advertisements would be sold every month. ”

When Zhu Linmiao first established the Mission Office, she really didn't expect that this propaganda department would make money!

When the propaganda department is spread out in Guangxi and Yunnan, the advertising revenue alone will be more than 100,000 taels per month. However, he was immediately relieved, which of the prime-time advertisements of the large TV stations in later generations could not be hundreds of millions, and the Propaganda Department was very generous in comparison.

He then smiled at Hong Si with some unkindness: "Right now, the household is nervous, so you can allocate some money to help them." ”

Hong thought about it, and immediately said: "Yes, Xia Guan will transport 140,000 taels to Yang Gebu tomorrow." ”

"So much?" Zhu Linmiao originally thought that it would be a lot to be able to divide fifty or sixty thousand taels, "Is your propaganda department still enough?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the advertising silver will arrive soon next month, when there is no difference pool." Hong Sidao, "If you have to plan for Yunnan and Jiangbei in advance, the Propaganda Department can come up with an additional 60,000 or 70,000 taels." ”

"Jiangbei? Responding to the Officer? Zhu Linmiao wondered, "How can the expenses be so big?" ”

"Your Highness doesn't know anything," Hong Si said with a wry smile, "Jinyi Weibei Town has ears and eyes in Jiangbei, and often has contacts with the Ying Ce Officer. So Commander Gu discussed with his subordinates, and the two families set up nets together in Jiangbei to support each other.

"It's just that Beizhen is quite poor, and it is said that it is the same news network, but most of the money for this maintenance is from the Propaganda Department."

Zhu Linmiao nodded and smiled: "If you can work hard, you will bear it for him first." Keep accounts, keep accounts, and let Master Gu pay you back in the future. ”

The Propaganda Department operated very smoothly under the coordination of Hong Si, and there was almost no need for Zhu Linmiao to worry about it.

After Hong Si finished telling the affairs in his hand, Zhu Linwei only made some instructions in the macro aspect, "In the next period of time, the main energy of the Propaganda Department should be on supporting the Northern Expedition, for example, Emperor Taizu's great achievements of 'expelling Hu Lu and restoring China' should be publicized more, and the people should try their best to have a sense of participation in driving the capture of a strong country." ”

He suddenly remembered the slogan in his previous life, "Everyone doing their own work is the greatest contribution to the country", and felt that it was applicable to the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, so he slightly modified it: "By the way, I took 'planting my own fields, reading my own books, doing my own work, and selling my own goods well, which is the greatest contribution to the war." ”

Hong Si tasted it carefully when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness's words seem simple and straightforward, but they are very profound and serious, and they are the gist of strengthening the country and securing the people. The lower officials decided to make the public preach and spread this intention all over the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded and continued: "As for Jiangbei, the focus should be to preach to the people the concept that Jianyu is facing enemies on all sides and will be difficult to hold for a long time. ”

In fact, he belongs to the concept of stealing, and at present, the Qing army is indeed fighting on all sides, but it is its initiative to attack, which is a strategic offensive.

However, as long as rumors are widely spread, people will not think about the logic at all. The common people will only follow the thinking of the policy officer and have the idea that the prisoners have been embattled, which will greatly shake the stability of the people's minds in the enemy-occupied areas.

"Remember!"

When Hong Si left the palace, it was almost hai.

Zhu Linmiao leaned back in her chair and rubbed her temples tiredly, it seems that during the time she went to the southwest, all aspects of industry, agriculture, and propaganda in the Ming Dynasty have gradually stepped into the right track.

Although Yu Xin's trip was delayed due to heavy rain in the Youxikou area, he still has not yet obtained the details of the reform of the military department, but as mentioned in Yu Xin's previous table, the progress is also quite smooth.

Just as he was thinking about the affairs of the military department, he heard the little maid who was in charge of serving him outside the study talking to someone in a low voice, "Your Highness is busy, what is the matter with my sister?" ”

"The princess asked me to inform Her Royal Highness, and in the autumn of the day after tomorrow, she made someone set up the 'Autumn Society' in the mansion, and asked Her Highness to come and have a lively time."

"Sister go back first, I will give it to His Highness tomorrow......"

It's the beginning of autumn? Zhu Linmiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart, when she was "demoted" to Longnan last year, it was also the beginning of autumn, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

After a year of hard work, he finally made the wheel of history begin to turn. Now the Ming Dynasty has six provinces again, with a population of more than 30 million. If you count Sichuan and Huguang, there are all south of the river.

At the same time, through his "guidance," industry and agriculture are also thriving, and the morale of the people is flourishing. And in history, the internal turmoil of the Ming Dynasty was also eliminated by him one by one.

Now Daming finally really has the capital to wrestle with Jianyu!

Although the Qing court still had an absolute advantage in terms of land area, population, taxation, and military strength, he had all kinds of advanced technology and experience in later generations, which could make up for this gap to a large extent.

In addition, Jianyu was fighting at the same time in Mongolia, Sichuan, Huguang, Zhejiang and other places, and the Ming could even concentrate forces to form an advantage over the Qing army in a certain part.

It can be said that now is the best time to start the Northern Expedition!

Zhu Linmiao only felt that her chest was full of pride, and the tiredness of Fang Cai suddenly disappeared.

He instructed his subordinates to make a cup of strong tea, reached out and picked up the bamboo pen on the table, spread out the paper, and quickly wrote down a title: "Summary of the Northern Expedition Strategy".

Then there is the "general outline": military deployment and march routes......

Armament Production and Stockpiling ......

Mobilization and logistical transportation......

Slightly ...... to the southwest

Countermeasures outside the plug......

In fact, he had already started planning for these things before he went to Yunnan, and he also remembered a lot of sporadic strategies during the period, and at this time he summarized them as a whole and refined them.

It wasn't until Yin Shi that he felt a little tired, and immediately remembered that it was still early today, so he had to put down his pen and hastily slept in the study.
