Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 623 Old Xu, support my work

Out of respect for his master, Jia Liu, the governor, did not sit in the chief seat, but sat opposite Xu Ji.

Speaking of it, he and Xu Ji are not only teammates of dog officials who jointly embezzled, embezzled military pay, lied about military merits, and privately distributed grain (silver), but also serious fellows of the Eight Banners.

Because Xu Ji was also from the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army, the old house in Beijing is three alleys away from Jia's house.

Even when Xu Ji became an official and Jia Liu took the same path-donation.

The difference is that Xu Ji donated a sixth-rank general judgment to himself.

Jia Liu bought himself a grade nine Lan Lingchang.

That is to say, one starts at the bureau level, and the other is probably the deputy director of the village.

Of course, Xu Futai and Governor Jia also had the same background but different fates.

It took Xu Futai 30 years to go from a bureau-level cadre of the sixth rank to a deputy senior official of the second rank.

It took only three years for Governor Jia to go from the deputy director of the village committee to the senior official of the ministry.

This speed is top-notch among the senior officials of the Qianlong Dynasty, second only to the dozen or so A Piao of the top class, and Feng Feng, the dead ghost who is queuing up.

Accompanying officials from Tianjin were Tongpan Wang, Changlu Yanzheng Jiang, General Military Officer Ye Qing, and others.

On the Governor's side are Office Director Yang Zhi, Deputy Director Ding Qing, Deputy General Bao Zhu and others.

The layout of the venue was also arranged according to the requirements of the governor's office, that is, they sat in a row, with three Eight Immortals tables in the middle to form a rectangular table.

Put a clean tablecloth on the table, place tea bowls, paper and pens, etc.

It looks simple yet elegant.

Several reporters from "Daqing Daily" were on the right side of the venue, that is, at the gate, each with a stool, recording and writing on the spot, in order to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of the report.

Although he is not used to this kind of meeting, Xu Futai, as the host, tried his best to adapt himself to Mr. Jia Jia's arrangement, and tried his best to put a friendly and kind smile on his face, so that the "Great Master" created by Mr. Qing Daily can have a positive report on my image.

The "Daqing Daily", which has been in operation for several months, has now become a must-have newspaper on the desks of officials of all sizes in Zhili Province under the strong recommendation and administrative promotion of the Governor's Office and the Buzheng Office.

Tianjin is no exception here.

In order to support Mr. Jia Jia’s new policy in Zhili, last month Xufutai instructed relevant departments to increase the order quantity of Daqing Daily, increasing the original 4000 copies to 15000 copies, and allocated special funds to build newspaper kiosks in various counties and prefectures in Tianjin. , in order to allow the voice and spirit of the governor to be better conveyed to the ears of Tianjin soldiers and civilians.

Knowing that the governor is about to come to Tianjin for inspection, Xu Futai even demanded that the post stations not under the jurisdiction of Tianjin must also subscribe to the "Daqing Daily". Management and performance-linked.

For example, the number of subscriptions received by the manure company is one hundred, but if the manure company really orders one hundred copies, then the manure head has to be replaced.

By the time Jia Liu arrived in Tianjin, the circulation of "Daqing Daily" in Tianjin had reached a record of more than [-] copies, which was the sum of the four prefectures of Baoding, Daming, Hejian, and Zhengding.

Jia Liu was very happy about this, and spoke highly of Xu Ji, the governor of Tianjin. He believed that this old townsman was an excellent bureaucrat who talked about politics, understood politics, and kept pace with the times. Cheese.

It's not the kind of lifeless, immutable, rotten old man who is completely out of touch with the world.

Jia Liu personally wrote a report titled "The Spring Breeze of Reform Blows the Ground, Tianjin's Army and People Are Really Uplifting" in the Dagu Water Camp, which focused on Xufutai.

However, this manuscript has not yet been published.

Whether it can be posted and when it will be posted depends on the results of today's talks.

If the talks collapse, another article titled "Who is the Enemy of the Qing Dynasty" will be released, pointing the finger at Xu Ji, and it will be accompanied by a memorial to impeach Xu Ji.

In addition to the role of propaganda and guidance, newspapers are also a sharp weapon against anti-Qing elements.

What are anti-Qing elements?

There is only one answer—to oppose Master Jia Jia is to oppose the Qing Dynasty.

Jia Liu, who has been a man for two lifetimes, uses this flexibly.

If necessary, he could even let the "Daqing Daily" publish a follow-up report on whether Qianlong was a Manchu or a Han Chinese in an off-issue form, making the already settled mystery of Qianlong's life experience confusing again.

But now it seems that Xu Ji is still very pragmatic.

Officials who like money are interested in how the money comes from.

Not to mention anything else, but Xu Futai's emphasis on "Daqing Daily" shows that this fellow from Zhenglan Banner knows the weight of the new Zhili Governor.

As the governor and the head of the capital's sect, Xu Futai must have known exactly what happened to the capital a few years ago.

It is in Jia Liu's interest that all localities attach great importance to Daqing Daily.

He was afraid of not paying attention.

In order for Zhili officials to pay attention to the content published in the newspaper, he almost said that the "Daqing Daily" is a prop for you to get promoted and get rich.

All the tricks of progress are written in the newspapers.

"Then, let's get started."

Under Jia Liu's kind gesture, Shuan Zhu got up and informed the Tianjin governor and relevant officials of the Eight Banners navy's conspiracy.

Materials related to the Eight Banners navy rebellion incident were also handed over to Tianjin officials and reporters as soon as possible. Prior to this, these materials were top-secret and had only been submitted to the Beijing Military Aircraft Office.

Now that the matter has passed a month, it can be disclosed to the public, or the detailed process of the incident can be reported on the "Daqing Daily", so as to deter the anti-Qing elements hidden under the water.

Of course, others didn't know the inside story, but Xu Futai knew about it. The day after the incident, he received a notification from Mr. Jia Jia, and he also made it clear that he firmly supported the governor's handling of the rebels.

However, this did not affect Xu Futai's slow standing up, accusing the rebel group headed by Chang Jiu with an attitude of righteous indignation and a fierce tone.

Jia Liu also listened carefully, nodding his head from time to time.

Afterwards, on behalf of the Governor-General, Shuan Zhu submitted the "Memorandum of Tianjin Construction and Development" to the Lord Futai.

It's just a booklet.

There are 120 pages in total, which fully record the industrial affairs established by the governor in Tianjin, as well as the construction of commerce, roads and customs.

As a result, the two sides exchanged views on the current Tianjin development issues, and the atmosphere was quite lively and the conversation was very pleasant.

In the end, Jia Liu got up and said that the governor's meeting was over, and he would hold a private meeting with the governor next, which is not suitable for public reporting.

"Reporters exit!"

Ding Qing, deputy director of the Governor's Office, got up and led the reporters of "Daqing Daily" out of the venue.

The accompanying officials of both sides also tactfully handed over the venue to the governor.

Jia Liu looked at the scholar from the reporting team leaving the stage with a full face, and walked up to a young painter, and kindly asked him if the painting was finished.

"My lord, the painting is finished!"

The painter hurriedly presented the drawing board in his hand to the governor.

However, the governor and the governor in the painting are so lifelike, the two pairs of big hands are tightly held together under the mirror, and the eyes of each other are not only full of trust in each other, but also full of desire for the future.

Jia Liu nodded, basically satisfied.

In the past, "Daqing Daily" always reported in words, which lacked flexibility and vividness. Therefore, he suggested to Shuan Zhu, who was in charge of the newspaper office, whether to ask an artist to draw some portraits of the governor-general for illustrations, so that readers can feel the governor-general more intuitively. The adults are responsible for the people of the whole province, and how to make plans for the economic development of Zhili.

Technically there is no problem.

Spring pictures can be printed in batches, let alone newspaper pictures.

Then the reporting team has more famous painters, and it is still formally organized.

Before he became an official of the eighth grade Qing Dynasty, Master Li specially painted ancestors for people.

It is the portraits of the ancestors hung in the ancestral halls of each family.

He is very professional in shaping the facial expressions of characters.

The full-body portrait of the Governor-General he painted was immediately caught by the Governor-General.

Because, the painting is really too mighty.

So powerful that Jia Liu thinks that the person in the painting is himself even without looking in the mirror.

After clearing the venue, there were only Governor Jia and Xu Futai in the empty venue.

"Officer,"

Just as Xu Futai was about to break the silence, he saw the governor on the opposite side come to him, patted him on the shoulder as if he hadn't seen an old friend for many years, and said sincerely: "Old Xu, other Let’s not talk about it, as long as you support my work, I will give you a dividend of 300,000 taels a year after the trade, how about it?”

After saying that, I did not forget to add, "Even if you refund the money, the money will be worth a penny, how about it?"
