Chapter 410 Two new newspapers are opened
Liu Xinqi shook his head helplessly and pulled out fifty two-star general cards from the system, all of which were "sergeant (cavalry)". Their main attribute was speed, which was very suitable for the propaganda department.

After Luo Gao took it, he thanked him again.

"Do you still have any objections to these two newspapers?"

There was already some impatience in the tone.

"When will it be published?"

"If you have no objection, it will be published together with the People's Daily on the [-]th of this month." Luo Gao replied.

"Stagger the time, three, six, nine, one serving a day." Liu Xinqi suggested.

Luo Gao lowered his head and thought for a while: "You are still thoughtful."

"Then there will be the "Business and Industry Newspaper" on the third day, the "Science Newspaper" on the sixth day, and the "People's Newspaper" on the ninth day."

"It's all finished as a ten-year issue, are you busy enough?" Liu Xinqi asked.

In the original plan, "Business News" and "Science News" were both monthly magazines. Liu Xinqi was not worried about insufficient content, but mainly worried about lack of manpower.

"Come here if you are busy. With these fifty immortal talismans, I can recruit several hundred more followers. That will be enough." Luo Gao replied.

It seems that the previous asking price was "two hundred pieces", and the asking price has reached more than nine days.

"You boy..."

"Then I'll get busy. The "Business News" will be published on the 23rd. There are still many things to arrange." The goal has been achieved, and Luo Gao left quickly.

"Go." Liu Xinqi waved his hand.

……

The next day, all the military officers of the staff headquarters in Penglai, and the ministers of the Military Academy and the Government Affairs Council all attended a meeting to discuss and determine the final plan for the westward attack.

The staff department has already produced several versions before. It first explained the pros and cons of the plan to all senior officials participating in the meeting, and then entered the stage of giving opinions and asking questions.

"If we want to be like the last time we attacked Denglai, where the army is followed by officials from the Government Affairs Council, it will definitely not work."

This request was made in several plans, and Luo Cheng stood up to oppose it.

"Is it difficult?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"It's too difficult. According to the plan of the westward strategy, this time the plan is to capture the entire territory of Zizhou, Qingzhou, Weizhou, Yanzhou, Yizhou, and Mizhou, and most of the Qizhou, Yunzhou, Jezhou, Xuzhou, and Huaiyang armies. Follow-up The plan may also occupy most of the Haizhou and Lianshui armies on Huainan East Road."

"With the territory of twelve states, it is impossible for our Government Affairs Council to gather so many officials."

What Luo Cheng said is also true.

"Then how many people can you draw out?" Liu Xinqi asked.

It has been a long time since he decided to take a radical westward attack, and Luo Cheng must have been prepared for it.

"The maximum number is 2000 people. I think Denglai is our foundation. First of all, we should ensure that the foundation is not lost and the rear is not chaotic."

The westward strategy is relatively radical. As the highest government official, it is understandable that Luo Cheng wants to be more cautious.

As long as it's not passive confrontation, that's fine.

During the last vote, the government affairs system did not approve of the radical plan. Liu Xinqi thought he was bringing emotions into his work.

"Two thousand people are enough." Liu Xinqi said: "Among the several plans just now, one is to start with the state capital and then the county. If this plan is followed, two thousand officials can basically meet the needs of officials in the twelve state capitals."

"Yes, if we only consider the initial investment, 2000 people are indeed enough." There is a famous saying in later generations: "It is easy to found a country, but difficult to defend it."

Although it is a bit one-sided, it also illustrates the difficulty of effective governance after occupying the territory.

To seize territory, you only need to kill and kill until the enemy collapses.To govern the local area, you need to deal with millions or tens of millions of people. You can't kill them, and you will need a lot of manpower.

Moreover, the requirements for management talents are much higher than those for soldiers.

"In this westward strategy, we can conditionally use the surrendered officials of the Puppet Qi to get through the most difficult moments first. After we recruit enough officials, we will replace or assess these surrendered officials." Liu Xinqi arranged.

"Okay!" Luo Cheng responded.

"You will also go along this time and leave the affairs of Denglai to safe hands." Liu Xinqi added.

"No problem, I've already made arrangements."

"That's good." Liu Xinqi turned to look at Wu Liang: "Is there enough food and grass?"

"Enough food and grass to support the army for half a year has been prepared, and all has been transported to the glue defense line. Part of it has been transported to various state capitals on both sides of Jingdong through the common people's food stack." Wu Liang replied: "There will be more after August. With the new grain harvested in the summer, there will be no shortage of grain and grass.”

"If you prepare more, you can't calculate our consumption. There will definitely be many refugees and prisoners after the war. These people also need to eat and cannot be ignored." Liu Xinqi added.

"Okay, I will arrange for the Grain Storage Department to transfer part of the grain from the reserve granaries and transport it to the front line as soon as possible. The grain purchased from overseas trade in the next few months will also be sent directly to Haicang Town by the Grain Storage Department."

"Okay, this time you can stay in Penglai and take charge of the situation. You don't have to go to the glue front line."

"Yes!"

"Are all the soldiers participating in this war equipped with weapons and equipment?" Liu Xinqi looked at Liu Lisheng.

"They are all equipped, and the latest weapons have been in the hands of the soldiers for ten days."

In the following meeting, everyone discussed together and finally chose the strategy plan of first moving to the prefecture and then to the county seat. The field corps would focus on the attack, the garrison troops would guard the logistics channels, and the laborers would be responsible for transporting grain and grass.

The meeting was originally planned to be held for three days, but the discussions were completed in two days. Liu Xinqi simply gave everyone a day off.

This time I set off to the west and it will take at least half a year to come back. I will go home to spend time with my family while I have some spare time.

……

"I don't know how long it will take you to leave. When will I be able to hold my grandson?" Lu Congxue took a few mouthfuls of rice, then put down the bowl and chopsticks and sighed.

"Mom, I will definitely not shirk when I come back this time, and I will give you a big fat boy." Liu Xinqi promised.

Zhou Yue just buried her head in eating and didn't talk to her. However, it could be seen from the red tips of her ears that she was listening to the conversation between Liu Xinqi and her son.

Looking at his still young mother, Liu Xinqi sighed slightly.

In later generations, at this age, new families will definitely be formed.But in the Xinghan League, with Lu Congxue's status as the "mother of the leader", it is impossible for anyone to dare to mention it, let alone do it.

So give birth to a child quickly and let the mother take care of it, so that she will not be alone.

On March [-]th, Liu Xinqi didn't go anywhere. He concentrated on spending time with his wife at home. After lunch, they went shopping together on the street and bought some beautiful jewelry for Zhou Yue.

"This hairpin is so beautiful, the butterflies on it really seem to come alive." Zhou Yue stopped in front of a stall selling silver jewelry.

The silver hairpin that Zhou Yue took a fancy to had a simple shape and a single material, which was silver.But the skills of the craftsmen must be very exquisite. The butterfly wings of the hairpin tail are so light that they can be moved up and down with a breath, making them come alive.

"how much is it?"
