Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 159 Hanzhong Surrenders
Half a month later, the second and third trains in Youzhou began to operate, and each train could carry more than a dozen wagons. Chen Erwa focused on these wagons.

According to the regulations, if you want to use train leather to transport goods, you must at least pack an entire carriage, and then you can hang it up and pull it away.

If it is not full, it will be a loss to pack a car.

Chen Erwa saw this just now. He has a lot of supply channels in his hands, and he led people out in the past half month.

He knew that many businessmen did not send a lot of goods to the train every time, and it would not be worthwhile to pack a wagon for this amount of goods.

The cost of transportation by other means is not small.

So Chen Erwa thought of gathering the goods of these merchants to pack a few trains for transportation.

Chen Erwa did as soon as he thought of it. He contacted the person in charge of the train operation and booked four carriages in one go.

Four carriages are located in Luping and Yuyang respectively. There are two carriages at each station. The goods are loaded in advance, and the locomotive can be hung up after arriving at the station.

In the next few months, the number of Youzhou locomotives finally increased to more than a dozen, and the capacity of the trains was fully reflected.

Chen Erwa now earns a lot of money every day by relying on this route.

The rise of the train brought Youzhou's transportation industry to a new level, which also forced many old-fashioned transportation tools to go to farther places to transport goods.

But in this way, the goods in Youzhou can be sent to various places for sale more conveniently and quickly.

At this time, Quanzhou Port has become a super large port, capable of berthing hundreds of ships at the same time.

Every day, countless products from Youzhou are shipped from here, and then go south along the sea route, and the products from Youzhou are quickly sent to various cities along the coast.

At the same time, various raw materials are also sent here by various means of transportation.

As Cao Cao took control of Sun Quan's sphere of influence, more and more businessmen went to Jiangnan to do business.

At the beginning of last year, Zhang Qingfeng provided the technical information of the Galen ship to many shipyards free of charge.

This year, many private shipyards in Youzhou have produced qualified galleon ships.

With the appearance of these ships, the commodity market in Youzhou began to expand rapidly to the distance.

In mid-August 212 A.D., a news came that shook the world.

In July, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong surrendered to the imperial court and voluntarily gave up Hanzhong and moved to Youzhou.

After the news came out, Youzhou Daily made a headline on the front page immediately.

The above also pointed out that with the surrender of Hanzhong, it will be a matter of time before the land of Sichuan and Shu is recovered. As long as the land of Sichuan and Shu is recovered, it will not be long before the whole world is unified again.

With the release of Youzhou Daily for several months, it has become a must-read newspaper for many Youzhou people every day.

Even in rural villages and towns, ordinary people are willing to pay a few dollars a week to learn about major national events happening outside.

It can be said that the publication of Youzhou Daily has allowed Zhang Qingfeng to basically control the public opinion in Youzhou.

However, Zhang Qingfeng did not intend to monopolize the newspaper industry, otherwise he would definitely be suspected by those in power.

Not long after the publication of Youzhou Daily, two more newspapers appeared.

One is called "Youzhou Morning News", which was run by Cao Pi.

The other is called "Youzhou Evening News", which was run by Cao Zhi.

Both of them can be regarded as "sons-in-law" of the first department of Neo-Confucianism in Youzhou. In order to compete for the family property, both sides recruited many people from the Department of Neo-Confucianism.

With the strength and background of the two, it is very easy to start a newspaper. As long as Zhang Qingfeng does not object, the two can easily start the newspaper.

As soon as the two newspapers opened, it could be said that they were tit for tat, but this had nothing to do with Zhang Qingfeng.

At this time, Zhang Qingfeng was teasing his daughter at home.

That's right, it was Cai Wenji who gave birth to Zhang Qingfeng's daughter.

Zhang Qingfeng didn't know if this daughter should be her daughter, after all, he took someone else's body.

However, the appearance of this daughter was the result of his own sowing, and he felt that this daughter should be regarded as his own.

"Teacher, the new edition of the newspaper has already been typeset. Is it really necessary to print so many? So many newspapers will definitely not be sold."

On this day, Wang Anshi, editor-in-chief of Youzhou Daily, found Zhang Qingfeng.

That's right, the current editor-in-chief of Youzhou Daily is his student Wang Anshi.

"Let's print it, this time the newspaper will be sent to various states and counties for distribution, and the number will vary." Zhang Qingfeng said.

Youzhou Daily has been running for a few months, and its influence has begun to radiate to places outside Youzhou. This time, Zhang Qingfeng has a big plan, so he simply started to expand directly to places outside Youzhou.

He didn't dare to tell everyone about Zhang Qingfeng's big plan at once, so he could only lay it out slowly, and wait until the time is ripe to see him again.

Zhang Qingfeng's plan is very simple, that is the plan to shape great people.

He is going to shape the image of Cao Cao, and then strive to "brainwash" people all over the world, and strive to persuade Cao Cao to proclaim himself emperor within a few years, so as to provide a greater living space for the Youzhou Neo Confucianism Department.

Seeing that China is about to be reunified again, Cao Cao will definitely not be willing to be a personal minister at that time, and it is certain that Cao Cao will become emperor at that time, and everyone can see this clearly.

Under such circumstances, whoever takes the lead in making Cao Cao the emperor can gain Cao Cao's trust and gain more benefits.

At the end of August, the coverage of Youzhou Daily began to extend to states and counties outside Youzhou.

Zhang Qingfeng requested that every prefecture and county in the territory ruled by the imperial court must have an office of Youzhou Daily.

It was also from this time that the front page of Youzhou Daily began to serialize a biography.

At the beginning of the biography, it tells the story of a boy named Aman who was born in Qiao County in the first year of Yongshou. His birth was destined to be extraordinary...

This biography records the changes of the times that Cao Cao has experienced for decades from his birth to the present and Cao Cao's achievements in unifying the world.

In the article, Cao Cao was portrayed as a hero of flesh and blood. He killed Dong Zhuo, saved Emperor Han, defeated Yuan Shao, destroyed Wuhuan, restored Guanzhong, destroyed Liaodong, unified the north, and then recovered Jiangdong.

Now, Zhang Lu in Guanzhong has also surrendered. Seeing that Cao Cao is about to unify the whole country, his achievements can be compared with few people in history.

Throughout history, Qin Shihuang Yingzheng counted as one, Han Gaozu Liu Bang counted as one, Han Wudi Liu Che counted as one, and then it was Cao Gong Mengde's turn.

Youzhou Daily began to praise Cao Cao, which made many people know about Cao Cao's achievements.

At least this is the case in Youzhou. Even ordinary farmers can tell what Cao Cao has done, what achievements he has made, etc. when chatting with each other.

After the Youzhou Daily began to praise Cao Cao, the Youzhou Morning News and Evening News run by brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi also joined the ranks of touting.

As Cao Cao's sons, they are more familiar with Cao Cao, and they are even more shameless when they praise him.

After touting Cao Cao, Youzhou Daily began to popularize history to everyone, pointing out that the change of dynasties in history is a very normal thing.

Youzhou Daily also proposed a law called historical cycle.

It believes that a power or a country will go through such a process from scratch, from weak to strong, and finally from strong to weak, and finally to destruction.

When the polarization of wealth in a country is serious, the class begins to solidify, and the people at the bottom are in dire straits, the disadvantaged groups who make up the majority will burst out with huge energy to overthrow the ruling class, and then carry out a wealth redistribution.

And whoever can lead this redistribution of wealth will be the biggest beneficiary.

Youzhou Daily made it clear that everyone is going through the process of redistribution of wealth, and the person leading this redistribution of wealth is Prime Minister Cao.

"What does Youzhou Daily want to do?"

In a luxurious villa, an old man slammed the table vigorously.

The series of actions of the Youzhou Daily made some loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty feel very uncomfortable. What did the Youzhou Daily want to do by praising Cao Cao so much?
Comparing Cao Cao with Qin Shihuang Yingzheng and Han Gaozu Liu Bang, is this a preparation for fleeing Han?

"We have to stop that from happening."
