Even at the end of summer, the weather in Dongning remains extremely hot.
At the Dongning City Outer Port Wharf, several ships from Jiangnan docked.
"We're here! We're here!"
The crew members were shouting loudly inside the cabin.
The empty sound echoed in the cabin.
Before long, a commotion arose inside the cabin.
"We've arrived? We've reached Dongning?"
"Really? We've arrived?"
In the darkness, pale-faced and listless scholars struggled to get up from their beds.
These scholars, though they also worked in the fields, were strong and healthy.
However, I have never experienced such a long sea voyage.
The bumpy, swaying sea voyage had already made them vomit their stomachs out.
Staggering to his feet, Chen Ce went outside and felt the sea breeze blowing across the ocean. His expression improved considerably.
He looked up and saw the towering city wall directly in front of him, and a large flag fluttering on the wall—a letter!
Yes, this is Dongning!
Prince Xin's Dongning!
Chen Ce let out a long breath, and the depression and frustration in his chest vanished.
"My God! We've finally arrived in Dongning! It's been so long!"
More and more soldiers emerged from the cabin, and as they looked at Dongning, which was so close at hand, they all sighed with emotion.
As soon as Chen Ce turned his head, he saw a familiar figure standing by the ship's side.
It's him!
Wu Shuping!
Wu Shuping also saw Chen Ce.
Smiling, Wu Shuping walked over and patted Chen Ce on the shoulder, saying, "With a physique as weak as yours, what are you doing in Dongning?"
"None of your business?" Chen Ce retorted without backing down.
"hehe!"
Wu Shuping stopped looking at him and instead gazed at the boundless sea, saying with high spirits, "I came to Dongning because I am a man who should carry a Wu hook and take over fifty states beyond the passes!"
Unlike you people, hehe..."
"Um?"
This made Chen Ce even angrier. He clenched his fists, wishing he could tear Wu Shuping apart alive.
However, Wu Shuping ignored him and turned to walk casually down the boat.
After their initial surprise, the scholars regained their strength and disembarked.
Upon entering Dongning City, the scholars immediately began asking who Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Wei, Bai Juyi, and Liu Yong were.
However, the people of Dongning City looked at these people as if they were aliens.
The scholars left behind, looking at each other in bewilderment, were even more frustrated.
...
The interesting stories on the street naturally reached Li Xin's ears.
Hearing what Li Xi, a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, said, Li Xin couldn't help but laugh. "Heh! These scholars are really bookish!"
Let's ignore them for now!
As he spoke, Li Xin turned to look at Li Xi and asked, "So many scholars have come to Dongning."
So, the *Jiangnan Daily* still has quite a bit of influence in Jiangnan!
"Your Highness, it is not only widely known in Jiangnan, but also in nearby Qiantang, Huaibei, Huguang, Jiangyou, and the Central Plains."
Some merchants even purchased a portion of the *Jiangnan Daily* and took it to the capital, Sichuan, Lingnan, and other places.
Our Jiangnan Daily has become an instant hit in Jiangnan!
The desired effect has been achieved!
"It was Li Xi, the Imperial Guard, who spoke up."
In fact, the people at the Jiangnan Daily were naturally personnel sent out by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
The publication of the Jiangnan Daily in Jiangnan and other places was not merely for the purpose of publishing poems and songs to earn money.
The actions of the Embroidered Uniform Guard naturally have their own underlying reasons!
As the distribution of the Jiangnan Daily expanded, the Embroidered Uniform Guard gradually infiltrated various parts of the Great Gan Dynasty.
At that time, Li Xin's second intelligence network will be fully established!
The two intelligence networks, operating under the guise of Qingyu Trading Company and Jiangnan Daily respectively, can effectively conceal their activities.
More importantly, the Jiangnan Daily is a powerful writer!
You must hold both the gun and the pen in your hands!
A gun can kill!
The pen can kill, of course!
"Li Xi, continue to handle the Jiangnan Daily matter well, but for now, keep a low profile and be careful to maintain secrecy!"
Li Xin gave his instructions.
"yes!"
Li Xi quickly agreed.
"Oh, right,"
Li Xin asked, "How's the purge of traitors going in Dongning?"
"Your Highness,"
Li Xi replied, "During this period, the Embroidered Uniform Guard has recruited a large number of people and conducted a comprehensive screening of skilled workers in some key positions."
No definite traitors were found among the skilled workers, and some suspicious individuals were temporarily transferred from key positions.
However, we discovered some spies in the city, most of whom were merchants from other places.
We didn't alert these people; instead, we kept a close watch on them, preparing to use a long-term strategy to catch a bigger fish.
"Well done!"
Li Xin nodded and said, "Sometimes, spies can be very useful."
Do it well!
Furthermore, all scholars arriving from Jiangnan must be screened; we must not allow spies to succeed in Dongning City!
"Your Highness, rest assured!"
After Li Xi agreed, he returned to work at the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Li Xin also summoned Liu Jingxuan, He Tongyuan, and others, instructing them to settle the scholars who had come from Jiangnan and other places who had come to admire him.
If properly guided, Dongning still needs scholars!
What's more, these people all came because of its reputation!
This shows that Dongning's reputation has already been established.
At the very least, in the eyes of these scholars in Jiangnan, Dongning has already won the hearts of the people!
