My book friend Long Aotian

Chapter 151 Huazhou Writers Guild
"Huazhou is the ancestral land of the imperial way. According to the rules, the six major sects can only operate here as private sects. If they cross the line, they will be violating the national law, and the local government can punish them."

“And I am the local official.”

"Therefore, the actions of the Cao Gang in Huazhou will also be subject to my restrictions and control."

"Of course, within my authority."

After getting ashore, they took the carriage. Old Song continued to drive, while Director Li was ready to work overtime.

Tonight, he will have a falling out with the Cao Gang. There should be no room for compromise in the battle of willpower. He has already tested the other party's determination tonight, and a fierce battle is inevitable. Fortunately, Huazhou is his home court, so he can take advantage of the official advantage.

"With the intelligence advantage of the Cao Gang, they should know that everyone in Huazhou is my man. It will be difficult to interfere in a short period of time. Ma Fulong is not an ordinary person. If he wants to fight me, he will definitely play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses..."

For the Cao Gang, the biggest advantage is...

A ton of fucking money.

"Zheng Xiuyuan secretly went to meet Jiang Shangren tonight. The two sides must be colluding with each other. Although the Huazhou literary and art circles are now under my warm care, as long as the Cao Gang injects funds, this battle will be fought..."

Jiang Lishu felt a little worried after listening to his analysis.

"Although Tianyi Pavilion makes a lot of money and has a lot of cash in its account, it is still far behind the Cao Gang, especially the Dafang..." the master said helplessly, "It's a well-known city-level enterprise that is beating Apple."

"Who wants to play a money-burning war with the Cao Gang?"

Li Bailong said proudly: "I know how to do this question. I will learn from the Americans!"

He ground the ink, dipped the brush and wrote: "To ensure that the Huazhou Cup Loyalty Award essay contest objectively, fairly and transparently presents the spirit of loyalty and patriotism in this state, during the essay contest, bookstores, theaters, opera halls and other cultural venues under the jurisdiction of the Tongwen Bureau are strictly prohibited from accepting external capital injections, lobbying, acquisitions and commissions. "

"In particular, the six major factions are prohibited from interfering in the Huazhou literary and art circles in the form of money injection, co-operation, buyouts, etc. Any commercial activities involving changes in equity and business forms must be reported to the Tongwen Bureau for approval. Violators will be severely punished."

"Any store or office under the jurisdiction of the Tongwen Bureau that has business problems such as poor management or lack of funds may apply to the Tongwen Bureau for low-interest loans or even purchases, but they are not allowed to sell to outside forces without authorization."

After he finished writing, he blew the ink dry. Jiang Lishu, who was standing beside him, was stunned.

"Insult the Americans, understand the Americans, and become an American."

Li Bailong gave a thumbs up: "Some things you will only understand after you do them. The happiness of the lighthouse is beyond your imagination!"

After returning to Tongwen Bureau, he called everyone in the unit to work overtime.

"Go, make two or three hundred copies of this document," he instructed. "The field staff should work harder and run overnight to distribute these documents to the bosses of each company and ask them to sign."

The field manager still had some problems with his work thinking, and asked foolishly: "If these people disagree, will the subordinates take the next step?"

Before Li Bailong could speak, Nalan Wenbo, who was already one of the leaders of the review and control room, took the document and was about to lead his subordinates to copy it. Upon hearing this, he said, "The director issued the document, which is an order. The businessmen below just need to sign to inform themselves. Who cares whether they agree or not?"

The man suddenly came to his senses and lowered his head in a panic.

Li Bailong glanced at him calmly.

The Tianhe Department has initially established a framework, but the field staff has not yet been formally organized, nor have executors with real appeal and leadership been selected... This matter needs to be put on the agenda.

But there are more important things to do right now. "As the president of Huazhou Qushiwenhui, Zheng Xiuyuan shoulders the responsibility of telling the story of Huazhou well. He should be praising the holy dynasty and expressing gratitude to the emperor. However, as the leader of the literary world of a state, he colluded with the Cao Gang, an out-of-state force, and secretly met with the head of Yunhua Hall in the middle of the river after Gao was dismissed and the essay contest was launched. This makes people doubt his loyalty."

Zheng Xiuyuan did this tonight and was caught on the spot by Director Li, which is a big violation.

At this point, no one cares about Lao Zheng's difficulties, no one cares about his thoughts. The Cao Gang is coming with ill intentions and in full force. The first fence-sitter who slips from the situation will be severely punished.

This is the logic of officialdom.

Officials’ authority and power come from the recognition and fear of others, so when their dignity and territory are challenged, they must launch the most brutal counterattack to intimidate other bystanders with their own thoughts.

Li Bailong had no expression on his face as he wrote: "With such a father, one can imagine his upbringing. I have heard that Zheng's eldest son is a Jinshi who was selected as a Jinshi. He is from the imperial ancestral land, Huazhou, and was selected as a Jinshi. As a disciple of the emperor, he should be grateful for the emperor's great grace and serve him for life. But with such a father, can his son be loyal?"

"I will report to the imperial court and investigate the correspondence of Mr. Zheng Jinshi over the past few months to prove his loyalty."

Finally, he took into consideration the friendship between us, Senior Sister, and didn't say anything too harsh.

Otherwise, if I kill my junior brother, I will always make the senior sister lose some popularity in the official circles... After all, my junior brother did such a cruel thing, and as a classmate, if I didn't try to persuade him, the officials would think that I am a heartless person.

"As for Zheng Xiuyuan, he is a leader in the literary world of the state of the imperial domain, and he is the mouthpiece of the state. He should be loyal and stand firm. How could he secretly meet with the six major factions in the middle of the river at night? He should immediately resign as the president of the Qushiwen Society, publish a newspaper to distance himself from the Cao Gang, and explain the situation to the Tongwen Bureau within a time limit to show his innocence."

"If you fail to do so within the deadline, the Tongwen Bureau will cite the rules and regulations to force Zheng to sell all cultural properties under his name. After all, the Education Department is a public tool of the court, and the Huazhou Tongwen Bureau is an imperial government. There is no room for ambiguity with the six major factions. If you don't stand on the side of the royal family, you are standing on the opposite side of the people of Huazhou."

"When the time comes, everyone will point fingers at you. Don't say I didn't warn you."

After Li Bailong finished writing, he shook the document and stamped it with his seal.

"You don't need to copy this one, just stick it on the Zheng family's door."

After the henchman took the letter and left, Jiang Lishu said quietly, "What do you mean by 'not colluding with the six major sects'? You are a fourth-rank imperial prince, but you have always been unclear about the Lingyu Sect."

"You also know that I am a fourth-rank official!" Li Bailong said proudly, "How can it be the same?"

Jiang Lishu rolled his eyes: "You are full of murderous intent tonight."

Director Li also sighed upon hearing this: "The Cao Gang is much more evil than Fenglin Huoshan... We have already declared war tonight, are we just going to passively take the beating? We can only take advantage of the advantage and strike first, then stack up the BUFFs."

Having said this, he took another page of official paper, dipped it in ink, and picked up the pen.

The master asked curiously, "Who else do you want to rule over with your long arms?"

"I had originally planned to use this trump card after the writing competition started gaining momentum, to cut off the source of the trouble and completely paralyze the bookstore merchants. However, I didn't expect the Cao Gang to intervene, nor did I expect that the court would already be fighting. There is nothing I can do. After all, Lord Yun has too much money. I am afraid that they will spend money lavishly and use extremely high buyouts to poach all the authors, making the writing competition a mere formality..."

Li Bailong sighed and said, "So I can only use this trick in advance."

Jiang Lishu leaned forward to take a look, but saw Director Li writing and the words appeared, which made the real Mo Feng's delicate body tremble.
