When Moron's fat figure disappeared behind the door, Wufeng gently lay on the easy chair, enjoying the tranquility of the moment as the easy chair swayed, but the thoughts in his mind involuntarily brought him to the seventeenth princess.

It seems that this little girl is not simple. Do Situ Mingyue and He Zhiqiu really want her to play a special role when they put her around? This little woman seems to be not a vase. She has come to this and wants to meet with the leaders and representatives of the nomadic peoples. But this is in the northwest, and she treats her identity as a princess too much. Thinking of this, Wufeng’s mouth showed a slight smile.

The arrival of Xiao Tang and Su Qin was as expected by Wufeng. He loved each other for a night without affecting his energy at all. It was time to return to the main business. Although he could get reports on all aspects from the northwest in the imperial capital, he could not compare with personally understanding the specific situation of all aspects. After more than half a year, Wufeng did hold up enough. Although there was endless wind, snow and moon, Wufeng prefers to make adjustments from time to time in the intense and exciting work, which is in line with the principle of Zhang Chi's righteousness.

After listening to Xiao Tang's government work report, Su Qin made some additions to diplomacy. Although Su Qin's position has not been clarified yet, he has become the de facto second-person in the Northwest government system, not limited to diplomatic affairs.

Xiao Tang's report made Wu Feng very satisfied, especially the substantial financial transfer. Wu Feng was even more at ease. Everyone knew that the war was imminent and his side was destined to be involved. To a large extent, the war was to fight a logistics war of attrition. Without sufficient material preparation, it was impossible to support a war, and all of this naturally had to be talked about money.

Qingyang's financial situation is particularly gratifying. After several years of rapid development, the loans that were originally developed at the beginning of this year have also matured one after another. The people have begun to repay small loans one after another. The three-year tax preferential policies originally formulated have also expired. Therefore, the fiscal revenue has increased significantly, which has suddenly become a large surplus from last year's only last year, and the amount of money paid to the county-level finance has also increased by several times. Jinzhou's financial situation was originally good. In the past few years, it has been the pillar of the entire northwest finance. The growth rate has also been very rapid this year. Although it is not as high as Qingyang's growth rate, its base is much higher than Qingyang, so it is not small. In terms of the amount of money paid to the county-level finance, it is still the first in the county.

The situation in Guide and Bonan prefectures is roughly the same, both are still in a period of rapid recovery, but their development speed is quite amazing. In particular, Guide and the ceramic and glass industries in salt and wine and Bonan are showing a thriving trend, attracting foreign merchants to invest continuously and the fiscal situation has increased greatly. At present, they can basically maintain their normal operations, and the government's investment in infrastructure is gradually increasing.

The transportation conditions of the four prefectures have also been greatly improved. The main roads connecting the four prefectures have been completely built, which has greatly improved the transportation conditions. Some sections of the Taiping River that flows out of Jinzhou through Bonan and flows into the Central Plains have also been rectified, and several inland docks have been built, so that some ships with a small tonnage can reach Jinzhou Prefecture City, greatly promoting the transportation of goods in Jinzhou, especially the export volume of goods such as wood, furniture and medicinal materials has increased significantly. This is also a major reason for the rapid economic growth of Jinzhou.

Bonan Prefecture also responded and worked hard to improve its infrastructure. In Mati Town, where the Taiping River flows through the river section of Bonan, a medium-sized inland river hub is gradually forming. Here, another river originating from the Great Hengduan Mountains, the Miluo River, intersects with the Taiping River, and flows southeastward to Longdong and Hanzhong. Many bulky goods such as pottery, porcelain, wine, wood, grain, oil, cloth, iron, and tools are all transferred here, or transported to the Central Plains by ships, or landing here, and transported to Bonan Prefecture City by land, and then transported from Bonan Prefecture City to Bonan Prefecture City to all parts of the northwest. Mati Town to Bonan Prefecture City has become the busiest section of the entire northwest business road.

The situation in Northern Luzon is also very optimistic. Due to the strong deterrence of the First Division and the First Infantry Division of Northern Luzon, the stubborn remnants who were originally worried were unable to provoke any storms. The timely entry of the Gu family and the Xueshan faction of Bashan also reduced a lot of pressure for the local internal affairs departments.

The profound charm of the Tang clan's martial arts attracted the participation of many middle and lower-class people of all ethnic groups. Even many children of upper-class people were deeply attracted to join these two sects, which was very popular. Many people even took it as honor to join these two sects, which attracted many sects in the Central Plains to jealousy and demanded to establish a foothold in Northern Luzon. However, they were all rejected by Xiao Tang on the grounds that the governor was not present. Many people went to the imperial capital to find Wufeng, but Wufeng pushed the ball back to the Northwest County on the grounds that he did not understand the situation. So far, he has not agreed to other sects entering Northern Luzon.

The road from Vito City to Qingyang City to the east was completely completed in May. Xiao Tang, on behalf of the Northwest Military and Political Bureau and the Governor General of the Northern Luzon, personally attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the completion of the road. He also spent more than a month inspecting the two governments of Northern Luzon, and had extensive contacts with representatives of various ethnic groups in the entire Northern Luzon region. He made comprehensive discussions on many aspects such as economic development and urban construction, achieving very good results.

The road construction project from Shuangdui City to Vito City was officially launched at the beginning of the year. Both sides were moving in unison and were expected to converge in the crater town (under the jurisdiction of the Vito Mansion) stationed in the Central Northern Luzon First Independent Infantry Division. The project is progressing smoothly and is planned to be completed by the end of the year. The construction project of the Zijing Pass Fortress is nearing completion. The main project is expected to be completed in October, and the remaining auxiliary projects will also be completed by the end of the year. At that time, two revoln soldiers will be stationed there by the Shuangdui Palace Guard Division.

As a large number of Gaoyue people moved out of the Great Hengduan Mountains, they brought sufficient labor to roads and urban construction. According to preliminary statistics, more than 100,000 people moved out of the Hengduan Mountains to the plains. Wufeng strictly required the two prefectures of the Northern Luzon to implement the principle of ethnic equality they formulated and should not discriminate against the Gaoyue people, so the migration did not bring too many problems, but provided abundant and cheap labor. Not only infrastructure construction, but also in the area south of Northern Luzon, the number of coffee plantations doubled. In addition to feeling that the situation was gradually calm and the newly established self-built government policies were more preferential, the influx of a large number of immigrants was also an important reason.

Not only the Gaoyue people moved to the Northern Luzon region, among which more than 50,000 Indian and German ethnic groups moved from the Indian Kingdom to Northern Luzon. This was not only related to the relatively relaxed environment in Northern Luzon, but also mainly because the Indian and German Kingdom suffered another severe flood last year, which caused food harvests in many areas. The people were suffering from so many miserable people and they all had the idea of ​​moving out. The neighboring Northern Luzon was in good conditions and relaxed policies, and the autonomous government also did not control immigration conditions strictly, so it rushed eastward.

The autonomous government is very welcome because the Indians are the best farmers and workers. The long-term national characteristics determine that they are not good soldiers or excellent officials. Their most suitable job is the agriculture and handicrafts that they have been engaged in for generations. Their arrival can greatly promote the originally backward economic development of these two regions, especially agriculture.

The iron mine near the Wusun Kingdom of Shuangdui Mansion has entered the final construction stage before development. A large number of immigrants have entered here, hoping to find a place to settle down with their own skills. After a high price, the guard of Shuangdui Mansion Luman sold the iron mine into 100 shares, the autonomous government accounted for 50 shares, and the other 50 shares were divided into Andes, the Coopers, the Prikis, the Tangs, the Five Indians, and the Five Green Sea Swamps in the West. Each share is priced at 20,000 imperial gold coins. The autonomous government does not pay funds. It has 50 shares in the ownership of the mine, but it is responsible for the road traffic construction of the mine. The remaining 50 shares are purchased among the various ethnic groups. The profits obtained each year are distributed according to the amount of shares held in proportion.

The most primitive joint-stock mine this time was because the self-built government could not provide more funds to develop the mine, but it could not be delayed, because Wufeng had personally written to Luman to ask him to mine the first batch of ore within one year for needs. In this case, Luman introduced this plan with the consent of Xiao Tang and Su Qin.

Originally, merchants of all ethnic groups had never expected such a good thing to happen. As soon as this plan was launched, it immediately caused an uproar among merchants of all ethnic groups. Merchants asked to buy it, but the number of shares was limited. For this reason, the autonomous government issued new regulations that merchants who joined the Shuangdui Prefecture Chamber of Commerce could buy it, but it was still not enough to solve this problem. Later, several people had to be allowed to buy one, so they barely made the plan. However, the five tribes of Green Sea Swamp, which were not very interested, were not very interested. Seeing that the competition was so fierce, they all invested in buying one.

It is said that the first purchase of shares was settled, and a merchant immediately acquired the shares at a price of twice the government's stipulated price, or 40,000 gold coins, but no one was willing to sell them. In the end, someone bought the shares at a price of 60,000 gold coins and completed a transaction.

According to Mr. Xiao Ji, a famous economist in the Empire, commented in "One View of the Early Economic Development System of the Empire", "This is the first time to create the world. Although it is very simple and rough, such a large mine has only one hundred shares. It seems so ridiculous now, and there are many unpredictable aspects in the middle. For example, the qualification to obtain equity must be a semi-official member of the Chamber of Commerce, but all this cannot be concealed, that is, it marks the beginning of a new form of ownership after all."

With the support of this million gold coins, the development progress of iron ore has been greatly improved. The preliminary construction, land allocation and recruitment of workers have been very smooth. The simple road promised by the government has been basically completed. According to the plan, the first batch of ore will be mined and shipped out in November.

The Gaoyue people's settlement area in the eastern part of Vito Prefecture has been completely included in the management of the local self-built government. With the reference of the Jinzhou Prefecture, there is not much change. The management model established by the Gaoyue people in the Jinzhou Prefecture is deeply agreed by the Gaoyue people in the Northern Luzon, so all this went very smoothly. Many Gaoyue residents from other countries even came here from thousands of miles to hope to become members of it.
