When Zhang Tianru saw Shi Baoying, he was stunned for a moment.

Then he thought about it and asked Shi Baoying in surprise: "Is the newspaper leaked?"

"No, what are you thinking about?"

Shi Baoying entered Zhang Tianru's office, closed the door tightly, and then sat down easily like his own home.

What Zhang Tianru asked just now was actually just a guess.

Because he had known before that everything about the Navy involved confidentiality and his newspaper could not be published in any way.

For example, if a missing person is published in Lin'an Daily, it says: The name is Wang Xiaoer, who disappeared after getting off the ship on the warship XXX on a certain month and a certain day... This is a typical leak.

So when Zhang Tianru saw Shi Baoying coming to him, he subconsciously thought that the newspaper might have been under-censored and posted content that leaked naval secrets.

But Shi Baoying denied it immediately, obviously it had nothing to do with leaking the secrets today.

At this time, Zhang Tianru breathed a sigh of relief and asked while pouring tea for Shi Baoying himself: "Then why did you come?"

“I need a list.”

At this time, Shi Baoying sighed and said, "I'm afraid that others will not give it to you, so I have to ask you for it myself!"

"I've made a statement in advance. If you violate discipline, you can avoid talking about it!"

At this time, Zhang Tianru saw that Shi Baoying asked for a list as soon as he spoke, and he immediately looked down on his face and expressed his intention to refuse.

"Don't violate discipline! Actually, I'm still afraid of leaking secrets."

Shi Baoying looked at Zhang Tianru and whispered: "Once our navy and Marine Corps start training, they are either on the sea or in the wilderness. Do you know this?"

Seeing Zhang Tianru nodding, Shi Baoying continued: "So the navy needs a large number of daily necessities, mainly military rations, tea, side dishes, etc.

And no matter which county you go to, you have to go out to find suppliers temporarily when purchasing.”

"In order to keep it confidential, our Navy cannot make a big fuss about such procurement behaviors."

"So I came here," Shi Baoying said to Zhang Tianru: "After all, in your newspaper, all merchants who publish advertisements have their names and addresses left behind."

"You just give me a list of the businesses and individuals that have been sold in newspapers and food.

Then when we look at their advertisements, we know who has the strength to be a supplier to the Navy."

"Whenever we go to the local area to train, we don't have to inquire and look for the business names on the list.

This can take less effort and prevent hostile forces from infiltration... Do you understand this time?"

After hearing Shi Baoying's words, Zhang Tianru woke up.

It turned out that this naval general came here because he wanted to purchase military supplies for his troops.

In fact, he is just looking for a group of suppliers that are both reliable and strictly confidential.

I guess he also knew that he had to deal with his editor-in-chief.

If the naval generals from other places came, they would probably mess up the matter, so they had to come in person.

Zhang Tianru immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he did not violate his news guidelines, the editor-in-chief was still willing to do things for his troops.

At this moment, while Zhang Tianru was talking to Shi Baoying, a fierce battle was taking place on the street outside them!... This battle also has something to do with Zhang Tianru's newspaper, because the fight was caused by two groups of people, both newspaper boys.

Speaking of newspaper boys, the industry has disappeared in modern times. Even if someone reads newspapers, he will go to the newsstand to buy it.

However, in the era when the newspaper industry was just emerging in the Song Dynasty, newspaper boys were indispensable.

Because they can not only provide convenience for the people to read newspapers, but also children under working age can also receive continuous income to subsidize their families.

Although all those who work in this industry are children from poor families.

But their income from selling newspapers from the streets every day is enough to support themselves, and they can even have some surplus.

But there are conflicts in places where there are people. Over time, these newspaper boys also organized spontaneously.

They even divided the areas along the streets of Lin'an to avoid disputes caused by selling newspapers.

However, these so-called areas are often not reliable.

Some newspaper boys even took two more steps and stepped on other people's territory.

Therefore, due to the territorial dispute, there were also many conflicts among them.

That's how it is today. Seven or eight or nine years old children just picked up a new newspaper from Zhang Tianru's Lin'an Daily, which was packed in a canvas schoolbag.

As a result, as soon as the group ran to the street, they were hit by a shower of stones! Several children were hit by stones on their heads and bodies, and some of them had been bruised.

The group of children opposite was numerous, about fifteen or sixteen. These people obviously came to grab the territory on purpose! At this time, the child who was originally beaten should immediately pick up the stone and fight back.

But the children who were beaten gritted their teeth and looked at the "enemy" opposite, looking like they were unsure of their minds.

At this moment, the children hesitated a little in the rain of bullets, but someone among them whispered: "Retreat first, avoid it!"

After that, they immediately ran back in groups, but the children opposite were reluctant to give in, holding the stone while whizzing and chasing them.

The seven or eight children who escaped in front were very strange.

They neither walked around nor ran apart, but always gathered together tightly.

When they turned a corner and temporarily avoided the stone.

I heard the voice of the boy in the child group just now and whispered to everyone: "This is our territory. The terrain is beneficial to me, so don't panic everyone!"

"After passing the intersection ahead, there was Huangmi Lane. A group of four people followed me to ambush at the entrance of the alley.

The remaining two groups of three make a turn on the next corner.

There are rows of baskets in that alley, and you hide behind it."

"When the opponent's forward approaches the entrance of Huangmi Lane, your group two come out from behind the basket to harass them.

Give us the previous group a chance."

“Then your group two slowly retreated and be careful to be surrounded.

Then we take a detour to the end of Huangmi Lane to gather... Let's capture the thief and capture the king!"

"yes!"

The arrangement made by this child was actually organized.

The seven or eight newspaper boys next to them also accepted the order without hesitation.

Then, as he said, a few children entered the alley with a sharp turn and hid behind the basket.

... Among the children who were chasing them opposite, the person in charge was Li Siniu, who was an eleven or twelve-year-old child.

At this moment, he took the lead and grabbed the stone and rushed to the front. While running, he shouted to let the children behind him follow.

Now his heart was so excited and extremely happy.
