Section 58 Development Plan
Wufeng never thought that his private life would attract so much attention from his subordinates. Instead of the first wife candidate, he had vaguely felt many unspeakable topics hidden behind everyone's concerns. Whether it is Situ Yutang, Angel or even Hariqinna, these people have been unknowingly linked to some interests, just like businessmen investing. If they choose the right investment direction, they can get high returns. In this way, even their wife candidates are mixed with these. Although they have not yet been clarified, Wufeng knew that as long as there are people, there will inevitably be no such interests. The problem is how to control and master it.
Economic issues are also the topic of discussion at this meeting. With the establishment of Northwest Bank and smelting factories, the huge amount of gold and wealth obtained from India and De'an were transformed into bank funds individually controlled by the Northwest government through various means and channels. Reasonable planning and support for the local economic development of the Northwest currently controlling various places has become one of the main functions of Northwest Bank.
The rapid development of the Northern Luzon region aroused great interest among the countries in the Western Regions, and the prosperity of the sheep farming and wool textile industry on the Tengger Grassland stimulated the nobles and merchants of the Western Regions. Seeing that the economic development level on both sides of the north and south was far inferior to that of the wilderness of the Western Regions, it had already surpassed himself. The countries in the Western Regions, from noble officials to merchants and people, were all jealous and envious. Saibo, the Director of the Government Affairs Office of the Western Regions, who attended the meeting, had a grand vision and was determined to withdraw from the plan to revitalize the Western Regions at this important meeting, because he knew that Wufeng would soon leave the northwest and go to Beijing, and he could come back in ten days and half a month. If his plan did not get Wufeng's approval and support, it would become a castle in the air.
Saibo was quite prepared. Long before that, he visited the Administrator Xiao Tang, the Director of Economic Development Yang Zhengbin, and the Director of Finance and Northwest Bank James with his plan, and sought the support of the three. At the meeting, Saibo made a big splash and proposed to fully develop cotton planting and cotton textile industries while ensuring the current economic characteristics, while working hard to strengthen the weaving and winemaking industry with national characteristics, so that these three industries can become the pillar industries of the Western Region Alliance economy.
This plan aroused Wufeng's interest. Saibo introduced the content of the plan in detail. Due to the dry climate of the Western Regions, abundant groundwater resources, strong light, and soil quality, the planting and the newly cultivated long wool cotton and colored cotton. Long wool cotton has high yield and good cotton quality, while colored cotton is even more special. The grown cotton can be found in a variety of colors, and textiles can be used to avoid printing and dyeing. Carpet tapestries weaving and ethnic handicraft production with ethnic characteristics are also the strengths of the Western Regions. These products and ethnic wines led by Sanlejiu and Longqiu wine are extremely popular in the central and southern central and southern central and central continents, and have huge market potential. Sanlejiu and Longqiu wine are both fruit wines made from inexhaustible wild fruits as raw materials, and are extremely popular in areas where the Central and Mainlands do not like spirits and wines.
However, due to the poor basic conditions of the countries in the Western Regions, especially the farmland water conservancy facilities, if you want to change this situation and develop cotton planting, you must first make large-scale investments in infrastructure construction such as water conservancy, drainage and irrigation. For the countries in the Western Regions, this amount of funds is quite large. Regardless of whether the countries in the Western Regions can be raised, even if they can be raised, it is difficult to raise and invest from the short-sighted aristocrats and bureaucrats in the Western Regions into such seemingly vain investments.
That's why Saibo will focus on winning support from the Northwest, especially the support of the Northwest Bank. As long as you can obtain sufficient financial support and spend one to two years on large-scale water conservancy facilities construction, Saibo believes that it can develop endless excellent cotton fields in a short period of time. By then, the Western Regional Alliance Government Affairs Office and the Northwest Bank will receive endless returns.
Perhaps Saibo did a good job in advance. In short, his plan won the support of Wufeng, which naturally included a focus of the Northwest Economic Development Plan in 698. Naturally, the financial support of Northwest Bank will be effortlessly tilted towards the Western Regions Alliance, which made Saibo very satisfied.
The meeting also discussed the development and reform of the Kansai region. Given that the status of the Kansai region has not been determined and many things cannot be carried out blatantly, Wufeng also asked the Northwest government to keep a low profile in all actions in the Kansai region and try to avoid affecting the entire Northwest's perfect impression in the central government of the empire and the people.
The meeting ended as scheduled for two days. This meeting can be regarded as the most comprehensive and important meeting held in the history of the Northwest. The meeting determined the model of the three major war zones and determined the economic development direction for the next year. At the same time, Wufeng also made the first attempt to distribute military and political power when he was away, and also laid the foundation for the future system of military and political separation of the military and political Joint Committee of the Glorious Empire, which restricted and coordinated the system of mutual restraint and coordinated by the three major military and political joint meetings of the glorious empire.
After everything was arranged, Wufeng set off for Hanzhong under the escort of the reinforced guards, preparing to take a boat in Hanzhong to head east to Huanggang, and then detour from Huanggang to enter the imperial capital.
In view of the last assassination in the imperial capital, in addition to Qin Shuangying and Yun Yi's personal bodyguard, Wufeng Su Jie and Sha Yina, who had returned from the Tenggeri Grassland, and two other female disciples, joined Wufeng's personal bodyguard. Seeing that his sect's influence in the northwest was declining, in order to expand its influence on Wufeng, the Tianshan Sect sent a group of disciples headed by Leng Ruoxing to join Wufeng's escort to show their support for Wufeng. In addition to the escort, Ling Tianfang also specially selected a guard team composed of veterans who fought through the battlefield to be responsible for Wufeng's peripheral vigilance affairs to strengthen defense. In addition, dozens of instructors from the Changfeng Association were drawn from the navy to be responsible for Wufeng's water safety from Hanzhong to Huanggang.
Before leaving, Wufeng also specially summoned Cui Wenxiu, asking others not to only limit their attention to the certain defense zones, and to strengthen their infiltration and activities in the Indian and German areas. While firmly controlling the obstruction of people, he should also gradually expand his power to the Hyderabad people and several other Indian and German people in the central region, where he expanded the influence of the northwest and lay the foundation for the future development of the northwest.
On November 25, 697, the mainland Gregorian calendar, Wufeng and Situ Yutang finally embarked on the road back to Beijing. No one knows what will be greeted.
The short and fat man chewed every piece of intelligence information in his hand carefully, trying to capture the hidden information. Although it was sent to the Prime Minister after being screened by the intelligence department, there was still a thick stack. There was no one else in the study, and when analyzing the information, he prefers to be alone.
Although Situ Mingyue's death was expected, it still brought great shock to the short and fat man. After all, this was an opponent who had been confronting him for many years. Although calling the opponent a partner a bit too high, he was a little embarrassed. The current chaotic situation in the Tanghe Empire made him a little hard to see clearly. Situ Lang, who originally thought he was at the upper hand, seemed to fall into the abyss again. In this case, Situ Tai, who had the strongest army strength, seemed to rise again.
He could not see through the ever-changing situation of the Tanghe Empire. It was like waking up, and the whole sky seemed to have changed again. Yesterday's Star of Hope became dull today, but he knew this clearly that the more the Tanghe people were without leaders, the greater the possibility of civil war, which was more beneficial to his side. Thinking of this, the short and fat man couldn't help but sigh.
Every family has a difficult sutra to recite. Seeing that the neighbors finally gave him such a good opportunity, everything was still in the way of his family. The nobles were clamoring to share the interests of Beiderok, which was undoubtedly a huge stimulus for the situation in Beiderok, which was not completely stable. Once they were really implemented according to the conditions of the nobles, they were afraid that the victory that Beiderok finally won could turn into endless prairie fire at any time. His Majesty the Emperor's attitude also became shaky, and he obviously also underwent huge pressure from the conservative nobles. Those damn Bo Yin people actually started to build castle fortresses near the foothills in the north. This was simply a challenge, but once they were dragged into endless entanglement with Beiderok, they were afraid that it would be difficult to get out in a short time. He would never want to do this.
As the prime minister of the Kaman Empire, Gomez felt that he was too tired. He wanted to find a quiet environment to have a good rest, but the severe situation did not allow him to do this. Once the opportunity was lost, it would be difficult to grasp. Gomez knew this well.
The performance of Taiping Cultivators disappointed Gomez. Although they still control the huge area, Gomez has concluded that Taiping Cultivators no longer have any future development. The rigid bureaucracy, conservative thinking, blind optimism and arrogance, and political strategies with no long-term plans, besides catering to some ignorant people in the lower class, Gomez really can't see any chance of these people maintaining it. Perhaps it's just an inertia and a considerable number of troops are still insisting on it. Otherwise, if there is no change from external factors, Taiping Cultivators will soon turn into history.
