I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 139 The foundation has been established
Eight in the morning.

Tu Yi, dressed in a green official robe, came to the Propaganda Department office on time to go to work.

The working time of eight o'clock was set by Zhu Jianguo. It was because the ancients got up too early, especially officials. The meaning of "eight o'clock" actually means that officials must come to work at Mao o'clock to respond to errands.

Officials get up so early, so naturally he, the supervisor, also has to get up early. In the end, after some hard work, it was delayed until eight o'clock. Not only would Wang Li and the others not agree to it being any later, it would also reduce administrative efficiency.

Go to the front hall of the Yamen.

They bumped into Wang Daocheng, the current left minister of the Propaganda Department, and Zhou Wei, the right minister of the Propaganda Department.

The two of them were walking in a hurry. When they saw Tu Yi coming to order a meal, Wang Daocheng was quite polite and said hello: "Good morning, Mr. Tu!"

On the other hand, Zhou Wei on the side only slightly cupped his hands and did not speak.

"Master Wang, Master Zhou!" Tu Yi quickly returned the greeting.

It seemed that he was really in a hurry. Wang Daocheng didn't even have time to exchange greetings, so he only said apologetically: "I have been summoned by the Lord of the Ministry, so I will excuse myself now!"

After saying that, without waiting for Tu Yi to speak, he and Zhou Wei hurried to the Yamen.

When Tu Yi saw this, he was keenly aware that something important might have happened.

But after thinking about it, it has nothing to do with it anyway.

As a former governor of Zhejiang and a high-ranking official of the second rank, he was now only assigned to be a small fifth-rank doctor in the Propaganda Department. This was really aggrieved to him.

The same goes for Zhou Wei who pretends to be unruly, but he is the right minister of the Propaganda Department, a red-robed official of the third rank.

However, Tu Yi didn't have any objections to this. Although he had been demoted to the Ming Dynasty, he had been an official of the Qing Dynasty for several years, so he was still a little uncomfortable for a while.

If you suddenly give him a high-ranking position that he really lacks, you will always feel a little bit embarrassed. Now it's good. He can be a fifth-grade doctor in the propaganda department and feel comfortable every day.

As for martyrdom for the country, I have long since given up the idea.

You must know that human suicide is time-sensitive. After 24 hours of extreme despair, people will instinctively burst out with a strong desire to survive.

If you want to die at this time, it will be almost as difficult as going to heaven.

Tu Yi knew this very well. When the city of Zhejiang was destroyed, he did think about martyrdom for his country. For this reason, he even put on a brand new official uniform in the Yamen, waiting for the pseudo-Ming supervisor to question him in public. rebuke him.

Not only could he gain a reputation as a loyal minister and be famous for generations, but he could also take advantage of the situation and anger the Ming Dynasty supervisor so that he could kill him.

It's a pity that he made a mistake. Zhu Yijiong didn't see him at all. Instead, he made people look at him and refused to let him die. He didn't even bother him. He didn't tell him when he asked for information, and he was locked up directly.

He was locked up like this for more than a week. Except for someone delivering meals on time every day, it seemed that everyone had forgotten about him.

Under long-term anxiety, the governor, who had a generally good official reputation, finally resigned.

It's better to die than live.

"Master Tu!"

"Master Tu!"

"Good morning, Mr. Tu!"

"..."

When he came to his office, the young clerks inside greeted Tu Yi one after another.

Tu Yi also nodded in response.

Speaking of which, Tu Yi is among the last group of people in the Propaganda Department's yamen.

Although Zhu Jianguo set a time of eight o'clock, most officials have long been accustomed to the old working hours. The biological clock is dead, and there are still six chief officials above, and the cabinet bosses are taking the lead in infighting.

Therefore, the officials in various ministries and yamen are basically the same as before. They will only cooperate with Zhu Jianguo when they go to court (Zhu Jianguo can't get out of bed).

The Propaganda Department is at the same level as the Sixth Department. Like the Privy Council and the Ordnance Bureau, it is under the direct jurisdiction of the Supervisory State, and it is also not considered idle.

Although there is only one subsidiary organization of the Propaganda Department, Daming Di Daily.

But the Ming Dynasty was a fledgling government after all, and it was impossible to really support such a large number of yamen idlers.

Therefore, in normal times, in addition to overseeing the tasks assigned by the state, the Propaganda Department will also process and compile the frontline military reports, and even the previous New Government reports, and sell them to private merchants and gentry to generate income.

The job content of Tu Yi, the lieutenant of the Propaganda Department, is very simple. It is a bit like an auditor and issuance officer. He is responsible for inspecting and issuing newly released Di newspaper editions.

And one or more copies should be taken out as stubs.

"Well...this one is okay...the printing of this font is a bit blurry...this one..."

After watching for half an hour, Tu Yi's eyes felt a little sore and he reached out to rub his eyebrows.At this moment, a clerk suddenly ran in. When he saw Tu Yi, who was wearing a green robe, he said, "Master Tu, Master Shangshu has summoned you!"

"Well, wait a moment, I'll be here immediately!"

Tu Yi put down the newspaper in his hand, straightened his clothes, and then walked out.

I followed Xiao Si around several corridors and came to a room, which is the office of the minister.

Entering the room, Tu Yi found that including him, the doctor, almost all the chief officials of the Propaganda Department were there, including Wang Daocheng and Zhou Wei.

"Everything is here, let's get started!"

With an unconcealable smile on his face, Lu Youlong said, "Before we start, please take a look at this first!"

After the words fell, the personal clerk beside him handed a stack of documents to the people present for circulation.

Everyone who saw it had expressions of surprise, joy, or both.

what's the situation?
Tu Yi was a little confused. It was his turn to read it. He quickly opened the document and took a closer look.

'The city of Nanjing was destroyed, Longkodo was defeated and fled across the Yangtze River, and everything south of the Yangtze River has been recovered! '

Plan the river and rule?

How can this be?

No wonder these people were surprised and delighted.

If before, Tu Yi only wanted to be a monk and hit the clock, no matter how arrogant this fake Ming was, he was just occupying two provinces.

But once Nanjing was destroyed, the false Ming... no, it should be called the Ming Dynasty now.

'The foundation of the Ming Dynasty has been established! '

This idea suddenly popped into Tu Yi's mind, and he looked at everyone present with smiles on their faces. Even Lord Bu Tang, the governor of Fujian who used to go to war with the Ming Dynasty in Fujian, couldn't stop it now. smile.

The foundation has been laid and the hearts of the people are attached to it.

The big... Puppet Qing Dynasty may not be able to wipe them out within a few years.

No, whether it can even be eradicated is a question.

After all, the current pseudo-Qing Emperor Kangxi is very old, but the Ming Dynasty Supervisory State is at its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period. The most important thing is that Kangxi has not yet established a prince.

Although he hadn't seen Kangxi for a long time, he could make assumptions based on his knowledge of that person.

I'm afraid it's more likely to be a disaster...

"Haha, you have all seen it too!"

Lu Youlong looked around and said: "I won't waste any more words. From today on, you will put aside the work at hand. In the next few days, you must report the battle report as quickly as possible." The content will be polished and printed.”

"Moreover, this time the Di Bao will not only be given to local government agencies, but also to private merchants and gentry who want to buy it. We will also sell more to them."

All right!This is a warm-up in advance for moving the capital and proclaiming emperor.

In fact, Wang Li's cabinet and the six chief officials under his command quickly took a boat to Nanjing after receiving the letter.

Lu Youlong and his propaganda department were assigned this task. Because they had to race against time, they stayed in Hangzhou for the time being.

The people around were the first to express their opinions, and said with flattering faces: "Don't worry, sir, I will do my best to get this matter done, and I will never disappoint your orders!"

Lu Youlong coughed slightly and corrected: "Ahem... I should live up to the trust of the Supervisor and the two Pavilion Elders!"

"Um...yes, yes, what Lord Bu Tang said is true!" Zhou Wei was only stunned for a moment, but he was not embarrassed at all.

"Ah."

Lu Youlong nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone, please go back! You will be busy next time."

"The officer will leave!"

People back down.

Tu Yi felt complicated in his heart, but he only hesitated for a second and left with everyone.

Since the weather has fallen, we should have expected that such a day might come.

　I got sick at the company, so I will get off work overtime and get off work at [-] o'clock every day, and there are no weekends... ┭┮﹏┭┮
