At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 76
After getting up, Shi Naian looked at Cheng De and said, "Before I came here, I had been living in thatched cottage and was writing a book called "The Legend of Jianghu Heroes". The mastermind, but I rejected it."

Cheng De didn't answer and kept silent.

Shi Naian continued: "The reason I rejected that righteous man was--my mother is old and my wife is weak, and my children are not yet married, so I'm sorry. If all the common things are gone in the future, I will find him."

Cheng De shifted his gaze to Shi Naian, smiled lightly and said, "Sir, why are you telling me these things?"

"I call the general the superior. Naturally, I hope to become the most trusted person of the general. I don't want to hide anything. The righteous man surnamed Zhang is actually called Zhang Shicheng. However, I guess he will not be able to achieve great things, so follow him. At that time, the general sent Wei Jiuyi to Sizhou City, so his subordinates followed Wei Jiuyi to Sizhou City, planning to escape on the way. Unexpectedly, when they passed Jinhu City on the way, they bumped into When they arrived at the Yuan army, they were intercepted and killed by a hundred-man Yuan army."

When Shi Naian said this, he was silent for a while.

"To be honest, my subordinates never thought that Wei Jiuyi, the general's head of a hundred households, would lead 100 people to kill the Yuan army of [-] people. However, Wei Jiuyi was ambushed by the Yuan army's crossbowmen. , which led to his untimely death. Before he died, what he said to his subordinates shocked them extremely. Does the general know what the subordinates were shocked by?" Shi Naian's eyes were piercing He looked at Cheng De in wonder.

Cheng De's eyes showed doubts, and he continued: "Sir, just tell me one by one, I will listen with all my ears."

"The reason why my subordinates don't want to follow Zhang Shicheng is because Zhang Shicheng is a man of stagnation and reticence. He seems to be capable, but he has no long-term plans. If such a hero, if he is a successful king in a peaceful and prosperous age, he will naturally be remembered in history. But in today's troubled times, such a person will only make wedding dresses for others, and often end up with a bad end. But the general is different—" Shi Naian's tone was firm and eloquent.

"Oh—what's the difference between me?" Cheng De looked at Shi Naian calmly.

However, Zhang Shicheng's name was secretly written down in his heart, and this person was already very restless.

It seems that Gaoyou Mansion needs to send some absolute guards to lurk there.

Instead of letting Zhang Shicheng take down Gaoyou Mansion, it is better to take Gaoyou Mansion by himself.

In the past, Zhang Shicheng was able to win the Gaoyou Mansion, which is now crowded with soldiers. Something must have happened there.

If this kind of change can be predicted in advance, then sooner or later this Gaoyou mansion will fall into his hands.

And Zhang Shicheng has no chance to be on the stage of history.

At that time, his ambition will be a joke in front of his absolute strength.

"The grandeur of the general's weaponry is as great as the past and the present. Soldiers are not addicted to killing, one thing; hearing good words, they worship, two things; Treating the people is five; attacking a city without plundering the people in the city is six; paying heavy tribute to a soldier when he dies is seven; having enough food and paying a lot of money for soldiers is eight; driving out captives with a strong will and refusing to be recruited by the Yuan court is nine; generals and soldiers There are ten things to be resourceful without fear of death. The subordinates dare to say that this change of Yuan Dynasty is none other than the general. Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui, Fang Guozhen, Zhang Shicheng and others are all inferior. If the general does not change his original intention and sticks to these ten rules, Great things can happen!" Shi Naian was in high spirits, his face flushed.

Cheng De was noncommittal, but when he heard Shi Naian praised him so much, he was still a little happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

But the ten points mentioned by Shi Naian are indeed to continue to persist.

After all, if you insist on doing this, you will eventually benefit yourself.

Therefore, Cheng De looked at Shi Naian and said gently: "I already know what you mean, sir. Next, let me talk about your arrangement."

Shi Naian nodded, looked at Cheng De, waiting for Cheng De's next words.

This is also what he is particularly concerned about.

He hoped that he could gain more trust from Cheng De.

In this way, he can show his skills and give full play to his talents.

"Under our general's mansion, there are the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry, and the Propaganda Department. Each department mainly has a master book, a slave master book, left and right book assistants, and book assistants. In Among these seven departments, in my mind, the Propaganda Department and the Officials Department are equally important. I thought about it, and combined with what I learned about Mr. Bian Yuanheng, I wanted Mr. to be the head of the Propaganda Department. The Propaganda Department left and right Shu Zuoling are Luo Gongfu and Wang Shilin respectively, and they will help you well. I don't know, do you have any objections to my arrangement?" Cheng De said seriously.

When Shi Naian heard the words, he was stunned on the spot.

It never occurred to him that he would get the post of chief bookkeeper.

This is more than trust, but very trust.

Although I don't know the responsibilities of the Propaganda Department.

But as important as the Ministry of Officials, the Propaganda Department must be very special in the eyes of the General.

Of course, he had no objection to this arrangement.

Therefore, Shi Naian hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "Shi Naian thanked the general for his trust, and entrusted him with the post of director of the Propaganda Department."

Cheng De: "Sir, would you like to hear about the responsibilities of the Propaganda Department?"

Shi Naian said with a straight face: "I would like to hear the details."

Cheng De explained: "The Propaganda Department was established mainly to allow the common people, scholars, and soldiers of the Sizhou Army to recognize and trust this general, and work with this general to drive out the Hulu and restore China. The only person who can enjoy peace and prosperity for future generations..."

Shi Naian only thought for a moment, and then he roughly understood the responsibilities of the Propaganda Department.

"I wonder if the general can tell you in detail about the Propaganda Department and how to perform its duties?" Shi Naian pretended to be listening attentively, but looked closely at Cheng De.

Cheng De pondered for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "First, establish Sizhou Daily."

Shi Naian looked at Cheng De in astonishment, with doubts in his eyes.

"Sizhou Daily, at the initial stage, the main content is to record some things related to our General's Mansion in Sizhou. For example, we can write about Wei Jiuyi, and the General's Mansion will not only pay him sympathy, but also record it as a heroic spirit. Monument, and even recorded in the biography of the Sizhou Army heroes. Simply, write a long chapter of the Sizhou Army hero biography back to popular novels. In addition, you can also write about the treatment of soldiers in our Sizhou Army, the treatment of recruits in the Academy of Sciences, and even the Sizhou Army Heroes. The achievements of the state army, how they resolutely opposed the Yuan Dynasty, and how the Yuan people oppressed the people can all be written. As for the layout of the Sizhou Daily, I will draw a sketch for you later. "

After hearing this, Shi Naian asked, "General, how can the Sizhou Daily make a profit? Also, many people are illiterate. What do they think of this when they buy it back?"

Cheng De didn't hesitate at all: "Sizhou Daily, after you make the first edition, determine the selling price based on the cost of the first edition, but the first edition of Sizhou Daily is slightly less printed. As for the illiterate Question, the Propaganda Department can recruit more literate readers and arrange for each person to be in charge of a village, so that people can read the content of the Sizhou Daily to the people in the village."

"General, these literate scholars, would they be willing to do such a thing?" Shi Naian asked his own question.

"How the Propaganda Department recruits people is the responsibility of the sir. But if people are recruited, they will be given the position of assistant secretary, and told them that if they do what the general said just now, if they do it for three consecutive years, they can be promoted to the right secretary. Ling. I think, in this case, there will be scholars willing to do it." Cheng De replied.

"But there are so many villages under the general's rule, I'm afraid there are not enough scholars here." Shi Naian reminded.
