Chapter 170 The truth behind it is infuriating
After Xin Poshan and his mother hugged each other and cried for a while, they finally realized that Lu Yanshi was still there.
He wiped his tears and said a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, I lost my composure."
"It's okay. I know the general is a man of temperament. You and your son haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally you have a lot to say. I should avoid it a little."
After Lu Yanshi finished speaking, he pretended to leave, and Xin Poshan hurriedly stopped him.
"Your Majesty, please stay."
Lu Yanshi stopped and turned to look at him.
Xin Poshan blushed and said, "Your Majesty, you helped me find my mother. You are my savior. From now on, as long as you need me, I will do my best."
Xin Poshan is not a fool. His mother, whom he had been missing for a long time, was found by Lu Yanshi.
This clearly showed that Lu Yanshi wanted to pull him down.
All he had was the ability to lead troops, but he was not sure whether Lu Yanshi would be willing to let him lead the troops, after all, he was a general of Daxia's enemy country.
This was exactly what Lu Yanshi was waiting for.
He laughed and said, "It's a pity that a talent like you is buried. It's a blessing for Daxia that you are willing to work for Daxia."
Xin Poshan didn't expect that Lu Yanshi actually admired him so much. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"You already know about the miracle of Wei River, right?" Lu Yanshi asked.
Xin Poshan nodded.
This is the hottest topic in Beijing right now. It is well-known to everyone and almost everyone knows about it.
"I want you to accompany the eldest prince to go out to sea to find the group of white people with blue eyes and blond hair. Are you willing?" Lu Yanshi asked, staring into his eyes.
Xin Poshan didn't expect Lu Yanshi to entrust him with such an important task.
If the emperor lets him accompany the eldest prince to the sea, isn't he afraid that he will kill the eldest prince with a single blow and then raise an army to rebel?
This is what Xin Poshan thought, and this is also what he asked.
Lu Yanshi laughed.
"Don't employ a person you doubt, and don't doubt a person you employ. I believe in your character. I know that you are not only a great general respected by everyone, but also a child who is filial to his mother. Moreover, it is written on the stone tablet that we were all one family thousands of years ago. Once you come to Daxia, you are a Daxia person. Daxia is your country, so why would I worry about you betraying your country?"
Xin Poshan was moved to tears by his words, and felt that they had met too late. If he had known that the monarch of Daxia was so wise, he would not have put up a desperate resistance and would have led his soldiers to surrender.
"I obey your command." He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Lu Yanshi.
Xiong had never expected that even though the country was destroyed, she and her son would turn a disaster into a blessing, so they also had to kowtow.
Lu Yanshi hurriedly ordered people to help them both up.
Lu Yanshi successfully tricked Xin Poshan into agreeing to go to sea, and then sent the mother and son out of the palace.
He gave Xin Poshan a third-rank general's position and named him the general of the sea. Not only that, he also gave him a house. This treatment made other officials very jealous.
Lu Yanshi used Xin Poshan as an example to motivate the officials who had recovered Beiyong and Xichang.
"I have no prejudice against people based on family background. It doesn't matter where you came from. Now that you have come to Daxia, you are a Daxia citizen. As long as you have the ability, you can naturally become an official in the Daxia court and work for the welfare of the people."
These words deeply moved the foreign officials.
Everyone was working hard to achieve good results during the official assessment and successfully squeeze into the court of Daxia.
With the example of Xin Poshan, other officials in Xichang and Beiyong also felt relieved.
Such a good policy needs to be publicized.
Lu Yanshi called Qu Fufeng and asked him to come up with a solution. After all, this kind of thing couldn't be like a miracle, and it would be too embarrassing to ask a storyteller to tell it.
Qu Fufeng thought for a moment and actually came up with an idea.
Publish a newspaper.
Write about recent hot events and recently implemented policies in the newspaper. As long as it is important, it can be published in the newspaper.
An Miaoyi happened to come to report Lu Yanshi's business accounts. When she heard this suggestion, her eyes lit up.
"Can we reserve a spot in the newspaper for those businesses to advertise? This is a good opportunity to make money."
The concept of advertising was introduced to her by Qu Fufeng when she was working on the Beijing tourist guide.
Qu Fufeng was stunned. He didn't expect An Miaoyi to be so sharp.
He did plan to place an advertisement in the newspaper later, and she had thought of it before he even said it.
When Lu Yanshi heard this, he thought that running a newspaper was indeed a good idea.
Kill two birds with one stone, you can publicize Daxia's achievements and recent policies, and make money.
Why not?
So he threw the matter to Qu Fufeng.
Qu Fufeng wanted to cry but had no tears: Why did he bother to make such suggestions? Now he has to work 996 again.
Fortunately, Lu Yanshi still had a conscience and did not let him handle the whole thing by himself.
The advertising work was given to An Miaoyi, while the newspaper content could be written by the concubines in the harem, since they were all very talented anyway.
After Qu Fufeng finished the first phase, he let Concubine Qu Zhiwei take over.
Qu Zhiwei readily agreed.
An Miaoyi had no objection either.
So with the joint efforts of the three, the first issue of "Royal Residence News" was freshly released.
This issue of "Royal Residence Gazette" printed three articles, and the title of each article was written by Qu Fufeng himself.
Qu Zhiwei thought that what he had achieved was not cultural enough, but he insisted on doing it this way.
The brother and sister argued about it for a while, and Qu Zhiwei asked the concubines in the harem to vote.
Without exception, most people think that Qu Fufeng's title is more interesting.
Qu Zhiwei had no choice but to compromise.
"Shock! A mysterious stone tablet appeared in the Weishui River, and the truth behind it is infuriating. "
This article is about the miracle of the Wei River, focusing on how hateful those foreigners are.
"Why is a nine-foot-tall man shedding tears? It turns out it has something to do with the current emperor."
This article describes the reunion between Xin Poshan and his mother, and highly praises Lu Yanshi for his kindness and lack of prejudice. It also mentions the need for reform in the officialdom.
No matter which country you were from in the past, once you came to Daxia, you would be a Daxia citizen and would have the opportunity to serve as an official in the court.
"From a concubine to a general, her success is thanks to these secrets!"
Although the title of this article is about the story of Concubine Shu Shen Liuzheng, the full text is actually more about praising Lu Yanshi for his wise use of people.
Lu Yanshi was very satisfied with this.
In addition, there is a tofu-sized space in the corner, which serves as an advertisement for the An family’s bank.
【The cornucopia of honesty brings together wealth from all over the world. Anjia Bank, you are trustworthy. 】
This was proposed by An Miaoyi.
They are willing to be the first to try something new.
She is not a fool. The "Royal Residence Gazette" will definitely become popular in Daxia. If she were not a concubine and the An family and the emperor were not deeply tied together, this opportunity would not have fallen to her.
After all, advertising space in newspapers is auctioned off to the highest bidder.
After several cross-examinations and confirmation that there were no problems with the content of the manuscript, Qu Fufeng took it to the Ministry of Industry for mass printing.
