The fact that the Emperor of Daxia was traveling was not concealed at all.
Daxia Weekly naturally reported this incident in a grand manner.
Now, Daxia Weekly has gradually grown to a larger scale - the newspaper has hired some reporters - this is what Your Majesty said, a group of people who specialize in news interviews.
This group of people is divided into two types. One type is the official reporters appointed by the court. They can enter and leave the imperial city and are invited to participate in official press conferences - this is also arranged by His Majesty!
He said that all departments should hold official press conferences from time to time to publicize their policies and the results of policy implementation at the press conferences.
Official reporters can raise their own questions about this, and the spokespersons of various departments must respond.
All of this must be announced to the world through the Daxia Weekly Report.
The second type of reporters are responsible for the entertainment pages. They are unofficial and can collect various news from all over the country and send them to the newspaper. Once the newspaper adopts the news, they will pay corresponding remuneration.
Now, the first three copies of Daxia Weekly have arrived across the country, causing a huge response throughout the country - it contains national affairs, rich peasants' experiences in helping the people, and various interesting stories that the common people love to hear.
His Majesty went out for a trip yesterday, and today's weekly magazine was sold out in Guanyun City as soon as it came out. It will take at least a month for this news to spread throughout the country at the current rate.
At this moment in the Royal Farm of Mozhou, Wang Er received the latest fourth issue.
This journal published a flower called tulip.
At the same time, he received a letter from the young master. In addition to mentioning corn and potatoes, the letter specifically mentioned tulips. Only then did Wang Er know the name of the flower.
"Wang Qiang, why do you think the young master asked me to vigorously cultivate these tulips?"
"This flower is beautiful. I guess it's going to be used to make perfume."
Wang Er held his pipe in silence, thinking that maybe it was true, otherwise the young master would not have written to him in such a serious manner.
But Wang Er felt that it was a little impossible, because the young master said that what he needed were tulip seeds, and he needed a lot of them.
Wang Er didn't think too much about it. He thought it would be right to do whatever the young master said.
"This is the method that the young master taught me for growing corn seedlings. Last year, we harvested about 300 kilograms of seeds. You will go and grow the seedlings yourself according to the young master's method later..."
"The other thing is the potato planting method. Last year, our method was wrong. Look, the young master said that if potatoes are planted correctly, their yield is almost the same as that of sweet potatoes. The young master said that Beixiao Province needs to plant potatoes first, so we must plant them well this year."
Wang Qiang took the letter and read it, then he understood how to grow these two things.
He was even more surprised, "Dad, how did the young master know that?"
Wang Er exhaled a puff of smoke, held his pipe in his mouth, and walked away with his hands behind his back, leaving behind a single sentence: "Because he is our young master."
"Hey, hey, hey, Dad, didn't you say you'd go back to Xishan sometime to take a look?"
"Let's figure out the corn, potatoes, peppers, and tulips first. No, Dad has to go to Ci Le Chuan. Regarding your brother Xiao Zhuang's matter, I have to visit the girl's family."
…
…
Your Majesty will be on tour, and the first stop after leaving Jiangcheng Port will be Yaoxian Port.
Yan Xiwen, the governor of Jiangnan, received two letters almost at the same time, one from Fu Xiaoguan and the other from the Ministry of Rites.
The letter from the Ministry of Rites was of course telling him to prepare to receive the emperor, but the letter from Fu Xiaoguan was inviting him to come to Xishan for a gathering.
If it is to welcome the emperor, it must be very formal according to the etiquette.
He had to bring many officials from Jiangnan Province to Yao County to await the arrival of the emperor's entourage, and he had to take all security measures and arrange food and accommodation for the emperor and his entourage.
But Fu Xiaoguan's handwritten note simply invited him to a gathering in Xishan - which was a bit like a private meeting.
"In my humble opinion, it would be best to bring the ministers with you to welcome the Emperor. Your Majesty was born and raised in Linjiang. This first stop is in Yao County, and we're heading to Xishan... It feels a bit like returning home to visit relatives. I'd venture to say that the Emperor is still young, and I imagine he'd prefer something more lively."
Yan Xiwen didn't comment. He held his teacup and thought for a moment before asking, "Has the spring plowing work been fully implemented in all counties and prefectures? Think carefully to see if there's anything missing."
"Your Excellency, this is what you have repeatedly instructed. I guarantee with my life that no village will be left out."
"That's good. Your Majesty, don't tell anyone about your trip to Xishan. I can go alone. You and the Commerce Bureau will review the matter regarding the weapons and equipment company of the Great Xia Golden Phoenix Group. Once confirmed, complete it as soon as possible. Also, regarding the Sima family's acquisition of Jiangnan Weaving... hold off for now until I consult with Your Majesty before making any final decisions."
"...Okay!" Li Wei, the Right Councillor of Jiangnan Province, responded with a "yes," but he was quite puzzled in his heart and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, is this really okay?"
Yan Xiwen smiled faintly, "Young men who have achieved success often fear the dangers of traveling at night in finery, but our Majesty is different. He wouldn't appreciate a grand reception. He would rather all officials continue to perform their duties within their own posts and fulfill their responsibilities."
"I have known His Majesty for many years, and I understand him to some extent. Even if I give him the cold shoulder, he won't blame me."
Li Wei was half-believing and half-doubting. The situation had changed a lot. The emperor at that time was no longer the emperor. As a person's status changes, his mentality will eventually change.
"Don't overthink it. I'll be leaving soon. When Left Councillor Zhang Lin returns, you can discuss the plan of building Jiangnan's four famous cities with the heads of various departments. Our Jiangnan Province already has a geographical advantage. With the current prosperity of Yangtze River shipping, we should be ahead of the other eighteen provinces in China."
"Okay, I'll have the Secretariat sort out the plan first."
Li Wei retreated. Yan Xiwen took a sip of tea and frowned slightly. The Daxia Weekly reported that His Majesty would launch a war against Liao. He also said that he would lead the army in person. Shouldn't he be preparing for this war?
Then a smile appeared on his face again. Who else in the world is worthy of being his opponent!
He is here.
When he left Yu Dynasty, he said he would come back. Now he is back, but the way he came back is different from what he originally expected.
He returned as the master of this land, and we should warmly welcome him back.
But he was still the same person. He did not become complacent and arrogant because of the unification of Daxia.
Yan Xiwen thought about Yun Xiyan's reception of all the prefects at Liuyuntai after the economic forum.
That night, Fu Xiaoguan came.
He was wearing a green cotton robe and looked like a small landlord.
He was still as easy-going as ever, drinking and chatting with everyone, without any arrogance of a superior.
But his temperament had changed a long time ago. Neither Qin Mowen nor Ning Yuchun could reconcile him with the young man from Jinling.
So the atmosphere was still a little awkward.
He seemed to realize it, so he left early and felt a little lonely.
