Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 950

[Chapter 950 Media]

The next morning.

The sun climbed over the willow branches, and Zhao Xu woke up from the bed.

Yang Susu, Feng’er and Luan’er got up earlier than him and were talking and laughing outside.

Hearing the movement in the house, Feng’er and Luan’er brought a suit of ordinary clothes and waited for him to dress.

After washing again, Zhao Xu went outside.

Looking at the three of them, he suddenly remembered something and sighed, “I forgot something. I planned to bring back a few kangaroos to entertain you, but I forgot.”

“Kangaroos?” Yang Susu was startled and asked. He asked, “What is that?”

Zhao Xu heard this, so he explained it to them.

The three of them suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Feng’er said, “I didn’t expect there to be such a strange animal in the world.”

“It’s more than that, this is just Australia, there are many interesting things in other places.” People were amazed again and again.

“If there is a chance, His Highness will definitely take us to have a look.” Feng’er said, she has always been lively and can’t stay still.

If it wasn’t for her being a woman, she would have gone to Korea and Dongying with the caravan, wandering around the world.

The three of them were chatting, when someone notified that Mi Wen had come.

Zhao Xu remembered that he was the one who ordered Mi Wen to come over at the banquet yesterday.

So he went to the study.

“Your Highness.”

Not long after, Mi Wen came over, entered the study, and bowed to salute.

“Excuse me.” Zhao Xu looked at Mi Wen.

This kid has also stayed in Yanzhou for three or four years, and now his greenness has faded, he is more mature, and he is more like a literati on the whole.

This is somewhat similar to his grandfather Mi Zhuang.

“My king asked you to come here to let you promote Luzon and Australia, especially Australia in the newspapers.” Zhao Xu said.

When Mi Wen heard this, he smiled and said, “I guess that His Highness is going to talk about this.”

Zhao Xu nodded.

Since newspapers have blossomed everywhere in Daesong, even branch offices have been established in Koryo and Dongying.

Newspapers have become the main channel for the common people to obtain news.

And because it is an official undertaking, the authority of the newspaper naturally does not need to be questioned, and it has basically become the mouthpiece of the imperial court.

This time going south, he seized control of Luzon and occupied the Australian mainland, so he naturally had to advertise it through newspapers.

Let the private merchants get the news in time, and go to Luzon to find business opportunities, so as to transport the goods there.

As for the Australian mainland, it is not enough to just staking land, after all, that piece of land is too big.

If there are Dasong merchants who voluntarily go to open up, it will be more conducive to Dasong’s control of this continent.

However, apart from this purpose, he also has another idea, which is to officially change the name of the Australian mainland through newspapers this time.

So he said to Mi Wen, “This king will dictate some characteristics and policies about Luzon and the Australian mainland. You can write them down and publish them in newspapers.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Mi Wen took out the notebook he carried with him.

At this time, Zhao Xu explained Luzon and Australia to Mi Wen.

As for Luzon, he didn’t have much to say, he just revealed the news to the businessman.

In Australia, he asked Mi Wen to emphasize a policy that allows businessmen who go to Australia to develop pastures to buy pastures and use them as private property.

At the same time, it can also be exempted from paying taxes for five years.

“As mentioned in the title of the article, this king will officially change the name of the Australian mainland to Nanzhanzhou.” Zhao Xu laughed.

This Nanzhanzhou is the abbreviation of Nanzhanbuzhou.

This name comes from Journey to the West, and he just borrowed it for use.

Since then, there has been no British Australian continent in the world, only Dasong’s Namzhan Continent.

“Yes, Your Highness, I have written everything down.” Mi Wen said, “The first draft can be sent to His Highness for review in the evening.”

“Yes.” Zhao Xu said with a smile, “In addition, the newspapers in Lu Song and Nanzhanzhou can also be deployed. Now, your duty is not just to praise the tongue, but to create a world-class tongue.”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness, I will definitely do it.” Hearing this, Mi Wen felt a surge of excitement in his heart, which was also his hard work. The goal.

During this time, the newspaper became more and more formal under his management.

According to King Yan’s instructions, each newspaper office has a president, editor-in-chief, editor, and on-site reporters.

And because he was under the direct management of the King of Yan, the newspaper office, like the Yushitai of the imperial court, had the nature of a speech official.

Faced with various problems of the people, their newspaper office dared to disclose directly in the newspaper, and worked with Yushitai to clean up the unhealthy trend.

This is their duty in Dasong.

In Korea and Japan, in addition to publishing local news, they also reprinted important domestic news.

Of course, their most important task is to publicize the changes in Daesong, change the impression of Daesong people in Korea and Dongying, export culture, and subtly influence the thinking of people in the two countries.

At the same time, they published articles in newspapers exposing the brutal colonial history of the Western Turks, the self-centered thinking of white supremacy, etc., in order to clean up the residual poison of the Western Turks left in the two countries.

The two talked about some matters about the newspaper, and Zhao Xu asked Mi Wen to go back.

Under Xu Lie’s guard, he left the palace and headed west.

Now, apart from the current war, what he is most concerned about is undoubtedly the construction of thermal power plants.

After riding for half an hour, he left the old city wall and arrived at the new city to the west.

Since Yancheng was designated as the imperial capital, the number of people who settled in Dasong increased day by day.

Naturally, the old city, which was originally bounded by city walls, could no longer support such a large population.

As a result, Yancheng had to expand in all directions.

And he also intends to break the city model of the feudal era and introduce modern urban planning.

After all, Da Song no longer needs city walls to protect the safety of the city.

In the expanded urban area, the thermal power station was built on the edge of the new urban area.

When he arrived, the thermal power station was under construction and had a rough prototype.

Seeing Zhao Xu’s arrival, an official from the Ministry of Industry who was supervising the scene greeted him immediately.

“When will it be completed and put into use?” Zhao Xu asked.

In front of him, there is a slender chimney building, but it is still under construction, using a reinforced concrete structure.

The whole thermal power plant building is this kind of building structure.

The large infrastructure has been implemented for so long, and the Ministry of Industry has already mastered this construction technology proficiently.

“Returning to Your Highness, it is obvious that the main building will be completed in summer.” The official from the Ministry of Industry replied with a tight-knit answer.

They are only responsible for the main building. As for when the electricity can be generated, it depends on the installation of the power generation equipment.

Zhao Xu nodded, the thermal power plant was built according to his plan.

The slender chimney on the left is the smoke exhaust pipe, which is connected to the boiler. The two-story house in the middle is used to house generators and steam engines. There are three one-story buildings on the east side of the house for storing coal.

On the right side of the boiler room is a water tower, which supplies water to the boiler in the middle.

In addition, there are buildings such as substation rooms.

If the construction completion date given by the officials of the Ministry of Industry is followed, the thermal power plant will be able to supply electricity to the entire Yancheng and surrounding counties by the end of next year.

Let Yanjun enter the electric power era first.
