In fact, whether it is public or private, Li Ling really cannot sit idly by and watch such rumors spread, causing chaos in the entire Luoyang. So after saying this, he quickly took action and went straight to Zongheng Bookstore at dawn the next day.

Due to the impact of this change in northern Xinjiang, the bookstore's business also seemed to be very deserted. As for newspapers, they were about to be finalized. As a result, as soon as this matter came out, several shopkeepers discussed changing to an article calling for everyone to calm down and put it on the front page, which was also a way of doing their own part.

But today, after Li Ling went to the bookstore and read the article that had been modified and polished by several people, he shook his head: "It's useless to post this article. The content written on it is no different from the words of officials who persuade the people from street to street, and no one cares at all."

"That boss means..."

"I have an article here. Please read it. If there is no problem, put it on the front page." Li Ling was not polite and immediately took out an article he wrote overnight yesterday and handed it over.

This is really a great article, with a lot of words. Just by taking it, it is a thick stack of manuscript paper. Several scholars and shopkeepers dare not neglect, so they quickly looked carefully. After seeing this, everyone showed strange expressions. After a while, someone whispered: "Boss, is this article written too lightly? The article is completely spoken, which is different from the articles we published before."

Li Ling smiled: "Who did we read our articles in the past? They were those scholars. But today's article is different. It was written for the people of the city, and even the people of Dayue. So I thought I didn't need to pick up those sour words, so I put my usual words first so that everyone can understand the meaning. It doesn't matter if I don't recognize words, but the same is true for people to read after listening to them.

"This time I don't want people to feel how high-end my vocational report is, but just to let every Dayue people know what the situation is in the north. The invading Guirong people are not as terrible as the rumors. They do not have three heads and six arms, and they will not fly to the sky and the earth. They are just some ordinary foreign people who can still be defeated and killed by us, and have been suppressed by our border troops for a hundred years.

"Only when everyone understands these contents, the uneasiness in the capital will be dissolved, and the court can feel at ease to mobilize troops, horses, food and grass, and let the army go north and fight against foreign enemies."

Everyone in front of him was a little hesitant, but as Li Ling said this, the expressions of these people became solemn and nodded: "What the boss said is that this article is indeed better than the one we arranged. We will put it on the front page headlines, and then carve it and print it as soon as possible."

"Well, all this must be fast, and the capital can't be messed up any more. Although we are just a shop, we should do our best to help the court. This is also helping ourselves." Li Ling nodded with satisfaction, patted the people around him hard, and then waved his hand to ask them to do things quickly.

With Li Ling's urging and the sense of mission they felt, everyone in the bookstore was excited and devoted 100% to the preparation and printing of the new issue of newspapers.

In fact, after several years of development, Zongheng Bookstore has become extremely skilled in newspaper printing. Although it has not yet used the mechanized printing methods of later generations, it is still purely handmade, but a series of processes from carving to printing, and then to publishing newspapers are extremely smooth. The speed of printing perfect newspapers has been reduced by at least 30% compared to a few years ago.

If it weren't for the supply of information and articles, the current report would be able to be weekly or even daily every five days. Today's report speed is faster than before. At noon, the first batch of newspapers had been delivered to Li Ling. After a look, he found that one article had occupied the entire front page. For this reason, the content arranged before could only be temporarily replaced and placed on another page.

Li Ling was satisfied with this arrangement, so he immediately made the decision and made a decision. Everyone stepped up the construction tonight, and when the newspaper was released tomorrow morning, they would be released. And this time, as a special issue, Li Ling made a temporary decision - the price of this lunar newspaper was discounted, and it changed from the original ten-money to five-money, with only the cost, in order to allow more people in the city to buy and see that article.

...

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, it was cold in the morning.

As usual, Ye Qing left early in the morning and went toward the clan.

He has been in the forty years of teaching in the clan school for more than ten years and has taught a Jinshi, three Juren, and more than ten scholars for the entire Ye clan. It is really hard work and contributions, so naturally his status in the clan school has increased. And by next year, he will be promoted to the head of the clan school.

The change in identity has also caused a lot of changes in Ye Qing's life, but some things have not changed because of this, such as going out early every day to rush to the clan school, and buying a new post to read.

In his habit, there should be no report to go out of the street today. As a result, when he turned from the alley into the long street, Ye Qing heard a familiar shout from a distance: "Everyone, take a look, the new report to the post... What is Guirong? Our Dayue should do how to deal with the crisis in the northern border, and you can worry-free once you report..."

In the past few days, due to the changes in the northern border and the rumors spread all over the city, Luoyang people have been panicked, and some even planned to flee to the south to avoid the war. Ye Qing was also quite uneasy about this. Now, when he heard such solicitation, he suddenly felt refreshed. Without thinking, he turned around and came over: "Old Cheng, give me a report."

"It turns out it's Mr. Ye, I got up early today." Old Cheng, who sold the newspaper, was also an acquaintance, and then smiled and said hello, then took out one from the thick stack of newspapers and handed it over.

Ye Qing took it naturally, then took out ten cents and handed it over. After these years, the price of the Zongheng report has not changed. But today there has been a change. Old Cheng only took five cents and then smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, today's report only sells five cents, which is the price re-set by the bookstore. But it seems that this time, and the next time I will reply ten cents again..."

"Oh?" Ye Qing was stunned for a little surprise, but he still took back the money and newspapers. While turning around and rushing to the road, he guessed in his heart the intention of Zongheng Bookstore doing this.

Soon he entered the clan school and entered the study room that had become a single room. Ye Qing did not rush to read the newspaper, but instead made a cup of tea as before, and then picked up the booklet and went to the classroom next to him to talk about the meaning of the secrets.

It was not until almost noon and the class was finished, and he returned to the study with a little tiredness. At this time, lunch was also brought by the clans, so he ate while reading the newspaper.

Then the whole page of the newspaper had only one article and he was a little stunned. When he looked at the title and the author's signature, Ye Qing understood again - "What is the invasion of the Ghost Rong? A small matter!" The author below is the long-lost Xiaoyaozi.

As an old reader who has been following since the founding of Zonghengbao, Ye Qing certainly knew that Xiaoyaozi's true identity was one of the owners of Zongheng Bookstore. He still remembered the scene when several novels were sold in the city and those few articles of laughter and scolding. That was the foundation for making Zonghengbao stand in the literary world of Luoyang and expanding its influence.

But later, Xiaoyaozi began to hide behind the scenes and rarely published any articles. Ye Qing was quite regretful. It was not until last year or the next year that he learned that Xiaoyaozi was an official of the court, so he felt relieved. But he didn't expect that after several years, he could read his articles in the newspaper again, and it was such a big article, which made Ye Qing's spirit refreshed.

I quickly sat upright and then carefully read the content of the article. The first sentence was just to make it clear: "Ghost Rong is not a ghost, but a general term for the Hu people in the north. It is because several foreign tribes were defeated by Taizu of Dayue a hundred years ago, and fled to the north of Mo. I beg for life, so I was known as the Ghost Rong..."

After just a few paragraphs swept through, Ye Qing frowned slightly. The article Xiaoyaozi wrote this time was really too simple, especially the content after the two paragraphs was all plain language, and there was no trace of literary talent at all. But based on his love for this author, he still pinched his nose and looked down, and then gradually threw the literary talent behind his mind, because only his mind was thinking about the existence of Gui Rong, an external enemy.

As mentioned in the article, the so-called Guirong is actually the general term for four to five once powerful northern tribes. They are the Jurchens who established the Khitan tribe of the Great Liao Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, and almost completely destroyed the Liao Kingdom. They are the Dangxiang people of the Xixia who have been entangled with the Song Dynasty for decades and occupied the fertile land of Hetao, and the Shiwei people who are even more powerful and good at fighting in the north... In addition to the combination of some other northern tribes, the Guirong people today are created.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Yue Kingdom, after Emperor Taizu personally led hundreds of thousands of Central Plains to fight against foreign enemies, these once-strong foreign regimes all disappeared and fled to the north of the desert, becoming bandits like bandits.

The so-called Gui Rong means that they are just a group of wrecked wild ghosts and are simply not awesome.

Since Emperor Taizong's reign, the Central Plains court suspended the attack on the Guirong tribes for various reasons, which gave them a certain chance of breathing, gradually developed and continued, and reached its current scale.

But after all, the Guirong tribes were all defeated generals of Da Yue. When they were the strongest, they were all stray dogs chased and chased by Da Yue. So what can they pose a threat to the orthodox Central Plains and the Da Yue Dynasty?
