418: The headlines are finally here!

Lin Yue got into Ji San's carriage, while Xiang Zi remained at the inn.

Inside the carriage, Ji San had a beaming smile: "Brother Lin, this matter couldn't have come at a better time. Baixiao Sheng was just complaining to me yesterday, worried that the planned headlines weren't eye-catching enough. And here you are! Brother Lin, you're truly a lucky star. Anything involving you is bound to succeed!"

"It's better to come at the right time than early. I only found out by chance. This matter will most likely be announced at the next court assembly, so we're just keeping up with current events," Lin Yue said with a smile, sitting opposite him.

"Excellent, excellent. There are still three days, which is enough time for Baixiao Sheng to arrange everything." Ji San's eyes were already narrowed into slits.

Then Ji San pulled back the curtain, looked out, and said to Lin Yue: "Brother Lin, hold tight; we're about to be teleported."

"Where are we going?" Lin Yue was utterly perplexed. Why did they need to teleport?

"To the east of the city. Baixiao Sheng set up the newspaper business there," Ji San explained: "The land prices in the east of the city aren't expensive, and more importantly, all the people who print newspapers are outside the east gate of Xianyang City, which makes it convenient for them to communicate."

Soon, Lin Yue felt the carriage's speed gradually decrease. The coachman exchanged a few words with a Great Qin Soldier, and then the carriage curtain was pulled open. The Great Qin Soldier glanced inside, and seeing nothing unusual, allowed them to pass.

"This is also a teleportation array?" Lin Yue was somewhat curious.

"A Earth-grade teleportation array. There are sixteen such locations within Xianyang City, all interconnected, making travel within the city convenient," Ji San said with a smile.

It seems somewhat similar to the subway systems of later eras. It appears Xianyang City's transportation system is quite developed.

But then again, with a population of 300 million in Xianyang City, how long would it take to get around by just carriages?

Immediately following a voice that announced, "Earth-grade teleportation array activated, destination: East City!"

Then Lin Yue's eyes lit up, and the carriage slowly began to move. Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of what looked like a mansion.

Lin Yue stepped down from the carriage, looking at the four characters "Great Qin Daily" on the plaque, feeling a sense of unreality.

He wanted to see what changes this Great Qin Daily would bring to Great Qin.

Ji San also got out of the carriage, then guided Lin Yue inside.

The doorman was one of Ji San's men. The moment he saw Ji San, he scurried over: "Shopkeeper, you're here?"

"Mm." Ji San nodded, then said: "Take me to Baixiao Sheng."

"Yes!" The doorman walked ahead, introducing things to the two of them:

"This is the reception room that President Bai ordered built yesterday, specifically for receiving scholars and refined gentlemen. Or if anyone has a news lead, they can come here, and a corresponding reward will be given based on the importance of the information.

This is the reporter's room, for reporters to rest, and this is..."

"Wait, what are 'President' and 'reporter'?" Ji San was a bit confused.

"Reporting to the shopkeeper, this lowly one doesn't know either. These are all names given by President Bai." The doorman shook his head somewhat awkwardly.

"Alright, let me know once you figure it out." Ji San said, then waved his hand, dismissing the doorman.

Lin Yue looked at the people in the room, some hurrying about, others bent over their desks, thinking that these must be the core personnel of the newspaper office. He quickly scanned them; most were dressed casually, likely a majority being otherworlders.

"This news isn't important, switch to another!"

"President, a native just came and said his family's cow kept screaming in the middle of the night for some unknown reason. What do you think about this?"

"No, no, we are not delving into science!" Baixiao Sheng refused without even raising his head, but then he suddenly called out to the person: "Wait, still send someone to check it out. It could be good for the entertainment section."

"Okay!" The person responded and ran out.

"President, a player just submitted an article, saying he wants to share his 'coming ashore' journey!"

"Coming ashore from what?" Baixiao Sheng asked without lifting his head.

"He became a Village Historian in the county town, responsible for writing, sending, and preserving various official documents for the Government."

Baixiao Sheng pondered for a moment, then said: "Contact him. This is positive news. Send a reporter to interview him!"

"President, a player just submitted an article, saying he wants to serialize a novel."

"Let me see it." Baixiao Sheng took the paper, glanced at it twice, then threw it aside: "What kind of nonsense is this 'buying spicy strips without a coupon'? It's an eyesore. Throw it away!"

Then he suddenly noticed two people standing at the doorway, one slightly plump, the other exceptionally handsome.

"Shopkeeper Ji, Brother Lin?" Baixiao Sheng suddenly stood up.

His unusual movement attracted the attention of everyone in the room, who stopped what they were doing and looked at the two people outside the door.

Seeing that this was not the place for a conversation, Baixiao Sheng walked out.

"Brother Bai is so busy he can barely keep his feet on the ground. We came uninvited; please excuse our abruptness." Lin Yue felt a bit apologetic. Compared to Baixiao Sheng, he was practically idle, yet he always felt tired. It seems people still need dreams.

"Brother Lin, what are you saying? It's just a bit busy right now; it'll be better soon." Baixiao Sheng smiled.

Ji San interrupted their conversation, directly interjecting: "Brother Bai, we're here to tell you some news: the Hetao Plain is going to establish a commandery, with thirty-four cities."

Baixiao Sheng's eyes instantly lit up. He understood the value of this news and eagerly asked: "Is the information accurate?"

"Accurate!" Ji San nodded.

Baixiao Sheng already knew that the Hetao Plain, which is Jiuyuan Commandery, would be established historically; he just wasn't clear on the exact timing. Now, after hearing from Ji San, he was mostly convinced.

"Shopkeeper Ji, can you help me find some old Soldiers from the Great Wall Legion? I want to interview them, to write about the Great Wall Legion's campaign against the Xiongnu in the north, praising their hardships. This will help strengthen the cohesion of the Great Qin people!" Baixiao Sheng immediately looked at Ji San.

Ji San, hearing this, looked unperturbed: "Brother Bai, the person you're looking for is not far away, but right before your eyes!"

Baixiao Sheng slapped his forehead, somewhat annoyed: "Look at my memory! How could I forget that Shopkeeper Ji, you yourself were from the Great Wall Legion!"

Lin Yue, hearing this, quietly pulled his foot back.

Ji San also looked helpless, pointing a finger at Lin Yue: "This is a General of the Great Wall Legion, and now a Cavalry Commandant by His Majesty's side!"

Baixiao Sheng had a surprised look in his eyes, then smiled: "Brother Lin is actually from the Great Wall Legion? Then may I interview you?"

"Mm, of course." Lin Yue chuckled, after all, he also had a stake here.

"Then, Brother Lin, please come with me quickly!" Baixiao Sheng shouted into the room: "Xiaoxiaosheng, get your paper and pen, and come out quickly! We have a headline!"
