Volume 3 Chapter 225 Shredded Fish and Pork (5)
Yizhou Mangjia, a high-end hotel. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Since Yizhou was established and incorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty, Lu Ren, as a candidate, will naturally have some diplomatic activities, and of course the hotel must be built decently. Of course, with the current level of construction in Yizhou, it is okay to build a three-story and five-story building, but it is not yet possible to build a star-rated hotel with at least ten or twenty floors in the future. In fact, the current hotel in Yizhou is more like a garden villa to be more precise.
At this moment, Zhou Yu was eating breakfast in the garden pavilion arranged for him by Lu Ren. Next to it was a gramophone playing music, but in Zhou Yu's hand was a ...... Yizhou's morning newspaper.
The printing industry in Yizhou has long been basically formed, and things like newspapers have naturally been sorted out by Lu Ren a long time ago. Not to mention, the newspaper's ability to provide information, guide public opinion, and make money are enough for these three things alone.
In the early days, Lu Ren's newspaper was a ten-day newspaper, that is, it was published once every ten days. In addition to the production process of Lu Ren's printing department at that time, the cultural level of the residents of Yizhou at that time, or rather the literacy rate, had not kept up, after all, Yizhou basically received a large number of uneducated refugees and refugees, and such a group of illiterate residents, let them read the newspaper is not nonsense? So at that time, Lu Ren also deliberately put out the loudspeaker broadcast, which was more realistic for illiterate residents.
However, after so many years, the overall cultural level of Yizhou has been greatly improved, especially the early children who have received education and then go out of school in batches, which not only accelerates the development speed of Yizhou, but also makes their demand for information in all aspects become greater and larger, so the original newspaper has become the current daily newspaper.
Okay, that's all there is to it. It is only said that Zhou Yu came to Yizhou yesterday, and after having an official fight with Lu Ren and Xun Yu, he rested first because of the fatigue of the journey, and waking up this morning is the official start of the event. And the morning newspaper that Zhou Yu had in hand was bought by Xiao Qiao when he went out in the morning and helped Zhou Yu buy it because of curiosity. Speaking of which, Xiao Qiao's curiosity is not about the news in the morning newspaper, but about the story serialized in the morning newspaper.
Yizhou's current morning newspaper is mainly divided into three parts, that is, the main news, entertainment serials, and then some related advertisements, and the rest of Lu Ren is not engaged. In the entertainment serialization, the story of "Sword and Fairy IV" is currently being serialized, and unfortunately Xiao Qiao is a fan of the "Sword and Fairy" series of stories that Lu Ren and Cai Yan have teamed up.
The previous one, two, three, and three of the single books Xiao Qiao have collected, and the fourth is because it is still in the serial stage, and Xiao Qiao can only collect some fragments through some other methods, which has always been a regret of Xiao Qiao, and at the same time, he is waiting for the end of the four to launch a single book...... Well, these are all common methods in modern society, and Lu Ren has long been familiar with it. And Xiao Qiaoma, who is now almost forty years old, also has a bit of the taste of women who chase TV soap operas in modern society. So this morning, Xiao Qiao went out early in the morning, saying that he was just looking at it and then helped Zhou Yu buy a morning newspaper and came back, but in fact, he went to buy it specifically.
Zhou Yu actually likes these stories and novels, but for Zhou Yu now, he is more concerned about the relevant news in the morning newspaper. It is said that the newspaper is the carrier of news and the guide of public opinion, and the news that Lu Ren is currently most concerned about by the people is, of course, the war in Liaozhou, and these are the things that Zhou Yu is most concerned about now.
In fact, the battle has started in Liaozhou, but the current scale is not large, mainly because the coalition forces of Karasuma, Xianbei, and Fuyu are relatively poor in unity, Karasuma and Xianbei want to focus on Liaoxi, but Fuyu wants to go to Liaodong, which they are relatively more familiar with, to make trouble, so after some arguments, the three parties sent tentative troops to both regions, wanting to see which side of the garrison is worse, and then they will fight which place.
On the other hand, in terms of Luren, the core of the western Liaoning region was transferred to Liucheng, which was later Jinzhou, and the core of eastern Liaodong was transferred from Xiangping to the new city of Shenyang. It is not unreasonable for Lu Ren to make such an arrangement, because in later generations, the so-called "Liaoshen" basically refers to the strategic area with Jinzhou and Shenyang as the core. As long as these two places are firmly controlled, they can basically radiate to the entire Liaozhou, and there is also good mutual support between Jinzhou and Shenyang.
The only thing that makes Lu Ren feel sorry is that Lu Ren took Liaodong in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, that is, when Lao Cao and Liu Bei were fighting the battle between Hanzhong, Liaodong was snatched down, and it has only been a little more than a year now, and Shenyang New City has only completed the initial construction, to be more specific, the basic city wall has just been repaired...... Note that the city wall is the foundation! Strictly speaking, the current Shenyang is not a city, and at best it can only be regarded as a city. The city is still like this, and the scheduled Jinshen railway line is not even a word.
It's Liucheng...... Oh yes, at this time, Lu Ren had officially renamed Liucheng Jinzhou. In general, Lu Ren started against Liaoxi relatively early, and he had already taken care of the Chrysanthemum Port in the south of Jinzhou very early, and then let Tuoba Yu and Murong Ziying go to build Jinzhou, and it has been a few years now. With relatively abundant time and the key point of Chrysanthemum Port to ensure the supply of all aspects, Jinzhou is now beginning to take shape.
Such situations are introduced in the Yizhou Morning News, which can be roughly regarded as a military column specially opened up by Lu Ren, and which area will be attacked first by the tripartite alliance of Karasuma, Xianbei, and Fuyu, at this point in time, often arouses heated discussions among the people of Yizhou, just like the military department of Yizhou Academy, which has become the focus of debate among the students of the military department...... This is exactly what Lu Ren wants to see.
Zhou Yu actually knew that there was a newspaper in Yizhou for a long time. In fact, in the early years, that is, before and after the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu had come to Yizhou several times, and he also bought newspapers at that time. However, at that time, the Yizhou newspaper was still a ten-day newspaper, and the other was that the conditions at that time were not mature, except for a small number of government decrees, the news was mainly entertainment-sized, and in modern terms, the Yizhou newspaper at that time was more like an entertainment weekly, so it did not attract Zhou Yu's attention.
Later, Zhou Yu was stationed in Chaisang and Baqiu, which were far away from Yizhou, and with the traffic conditions and information transmission conditions at that time, Zhou Yu did not know much about the changes in Yizhou. In general, except for some major information, Zhou Yu could only obtain some relatively one-sided information through the caravan in Yizhou. And today, when Zhou Yu came to Yizhou again and picked up this new morning newspaper, Zhou Yu deeply felt that the current Yizhou was far beyond his imagination.
To gossip again, Zhou Yu looked at the newspaper in his hand, but secretly sighed in his heart: Why can't Sun Quan make such a thing? However, Lu Ren didn't hear this, if Lu Ren heard it, Lu Ren would smile and tell Zhou Yu that if Sun Quan wanted to start a newspaper, then the problem would not be a little bit.
First of all, the efficient paper industry, printing industry, these two things alone are not what Sun Quan can play now, you must know that the current Lu Renqi's steam technology has been relatively mature, and the entire Yizhou has actually entered the field of semi-industrialization, and Sun Quan is still playing with the small peasant economy, and many related Dongdong Sun Quan does not have it at all, so how can Sun Quan do it?
Secondly, and it can be said to be a very important one, is that newspapers need good means of conveying information, which is not something that Sun Quan has.
Next, the newspaper has a role in public opinion, and it is said that this is what Sun Quan needs more. But don't forget, there is still a deep contradiction between Sun Quan and the local wealthy families in Jiangdong, and if the newspaper really appears in Jiangdong, due to the particularity of its industrial nature, unless Sun Quan can completely control the newspaper industry, it will be easy to be controlled by the local wealthy families in Jiangdong, and then the public opinion in Jiangdong will be biased to the local wealthy families in Jiangdong, so the life of the Sun Group is not easy to say.
To put it more simply, why did those feudal monarchs engage in literary hell at every turn? Isn't it just trying to control the direction of public opinion? Since Sun Quan knew that he couldn't control the newspaper, how could he allow this thing to appear on the land of Jiangdong?
On the other hand, Lu Ren has no worries in this regard. Not to mention more, it is enough to say that the newspaper industry in Yizhou is completely controlled by Lu Ren. As a modern person, Lu Ren is still clear about certain things.
The nonsense ends here, only saying that after Zhou Yu read the military analysis in the newspaper, people immediately fell into deep thought. With Zhou Yu's historical limitations, Zhou Yu didn't understand why Lu Ren wanted to make this kind of military matter public, but this is not something that Zhou Yu would think about now, Zhou Yu was thinking about which end of Liaodong and Liaoxi would become the main battlefield next.
While pondering, Lu Ren's voice came into Zhou Yu's ears: "Brother Gongjin, what are you thinking?" ā
Lu Ren is four or five years older than Zhou Yu, so it is not too much for Lu Ren to call Zhou Yu "Brother Gongjin". And when Zhou Yu saw Lu Ren coming, he quickly put down the newspaper and saluted Lu Ren.
After each of them sat down, Lu Ren asked with a smile, "What about your wife and your children?" ā
Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to pour tea for Lu Ren, and responded with a smile: "She has long wanted to come to Yizhou, this time it is rare to come, where can she still sit still?" So early in the morning, she took the children shopping. ā
Lu Renxin said It's not that I haven't dealt with you couples, and Xiao Qiao is not the kind of woman who doesn't understand, okay? said that he couldn't sit still and ran out to play, but in fact, he should have guessed that he was coming, and he must have something to talk about with Zhou Yu, so he deliberately ran out, leaving space for himself and Zhou Yu, but it was a bit redundant that he also brought Minchan over to help pull Xiao Qiao away. Fortunately, when he came in, he had already heard about Xiao Qiao going out, and then Lu Ren turned around and made a gesture to Minchan who was a little farther away, and Minchan left here with a comprehension and helped Lu Ren beckoning Xiao Qiao to go.
Turning around, Lu Ren explained to Zhou Yu the words of letting Minchan accompany Xiao Qiao, and then said with a smile: "Gongjin and his wife are also rare to come to me, and a little bit of expenses are counted on my head." ā
Zhou Yu also smiled indifferently: "Then it's disrespectful." Humble Jing likes some things produced in Yizhou very much, but this time I came back in a bit of a hurry, and my wife really didn't have much money and things with them. Since Lu Yizhou has a treat, our husband and wife are not welcome. ā
In the eyes of others, they may think that Zhou Yu is a little cheeky, but Lu Ren understands that Zhou Yu's words imply some other meanings. However, there are some words, everyone just understands in their hearts, and it is not interesting to say it, so Lu Ren also laughed at it. At a glance, Lu Ren saw today's morning report that Zhou Yu had just put on the table, and because Zhou Yu was thinking about the current battle situation, the morning report was also specially folded to this side, so that Lu Ren knew what Zhou Yu should be thinking just now.
"Gong Jin also saw this? Thinking that Gong Jin is a generation of good generals, then in Gong Jin's opinion, will the alliance of the three clans mainly attack Liaoxi or Liaodong? ā
Zhou Yu squinted his eyes and pondered for a long time before smiling and saying to Lu Ren: "The things recorded in this morning newspaper are a little incomplete, and it is impossible for Lu Yizhou to print all the real military information in this newspaper." Therefore, if you want to make a judgment below, some things have to be fully informed by Lu Yizhou. ā
Lu Ren shrugged his shoulders and said noncommittal. Speaking of which, Zhou Yu is right, it is indeed impossible for Lu Ren to print all the military information in the newspaper, but the general basic situation is still printed, for example, there is no need to hide the current troop deployment in Jinzhou and Shenyang, because these things cannot be concealed, and the enemy can generally find out easily as long as he sends a detailed team.
"But I don't know what Gong Jin wants to ask?"
"Lu Yizhou Ken said?"
Lu Ren also smiled at this time: "You are going to lead the army to the north to help in the war, that is my Lu Ren's friendly army." For allies, what can be said and what should be said, I will not hide it from you. ā
With Lu Ren's words, Zhou Yu also unceremoniously asked Lu Ren some relevant information, but what Zhou Yu asked was what Lu Ren could tell Zhou Yu, so I don't know if Zhou Yu deliberately avoided something.
After asking these questions, Zhou Yu pondered over the sketch in the newspaper. By the way, the simple map in the newspaper is a simple map, but it is not much better than the map generally used by Wei Shu and Wu at that time. You must know that due to the increasing development of the navigation industry in Luren, the requirements for maps in all aspects are getting higher and higher, which leads to the maps that can be made public here in Luren are better than the maps of Wei Shu and Wu. At least in Zhou Yu's opinion, the sketch in this newspaper has a parallel with the military map he usually uses.
After looking at it for a long time and pondering for a long time, Zhou Yu finally raised his head and said to Lu Ren: "If I want to say, I prefer that the alliance of the three clans will fight in Liaoxi rather than Liaodong." ā
"Oh? Why did Gong Jin come to such a conclusion? ā
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
(Someone asked what the bottle of fish-flavored shredded pork means...... In fact, just as I was about to write this, Bottle and my buddies went to eat boiled fish for supper, and when I came back, I remembered it. Then the fish refers to Zhou Yu, the fragrance does not explain, the meat actually refers to Lu Ren, and the silk is "thought". To put it simply, it refers to the trio of Zhou Yu, Sun Shangxiang, and Lu Ren. ļ¼
