chapter ten spread

While thinking, a burst of rapid footsteps rushed up, and the two girls with wide-eyed eyes had already run to him, "Li Wufeng, what did you do to my sister?"

Wufeng was happy, but pretended to be innocent on the surface and asked in surprise: "What did you do? Your sister was talking about life, pursuit and philosophy with me just now."

"Impossible! Then why did my sister's eyes turn red, as if she had cried? You really didn't do anything bad?" Observing Wufeng's expression suspiciously, the younger Li Qingyun asked unwillingly.

"Of course not. My heart is brighter than the bright moon. How can I do anything bad?" Wufeng pretended to be stupid and asked, "Isn't Qing uncomfortable?"

"We don't know, my sister is in a wrong mood. It must be that you did something bad. Otherwise, if only you two are there, what would happen?" Li Qingshi believed Wufeng as easily as her sister, and her face was cold and solemn.

"Haha, is that? Then you didn't ask your sister what bad things I did?" Wufeng knew that it was impossible for his daughter's family to tell outsiders such things. Even if he was his own sister, Li Qingke and himself had such a touch of affection on the front, and would not speak to outsiders.

"You!" Li Qingshi said hatefully: "Don't let us find out that you are sorry to our elder sister, otherwise,—"

"Otherwise, what? Does Qingshi want to stand up for your sister? That's right, I've long wanted to try Qingshi's pink fist and embroidered legs." Wufeng's words with a strange smile were full of ambiguity, which made Li Qingshi angry, shy and difficult to get angry.

The atmosphere became a little stiff, but fortunately, a warning from the guards came downstairs: "Sir, come to report from the city. Lord Xiao, Lord Su and Lord Wang have all entered the city."

"I understand." Wu Feng was excited and then said to the two girls: "Okay, I'm going to do a serious business. You three sisters will take a good rest here. It's hard for you to go out. You must be tired these days, so you can rest for a while."

Before the two girls could answer, they went downstairs in a flash, climbed the carriage that had been prepared and headed straight for the city.

After three days of separation, Wufeng and several people were extremely intimate. Xiao Tang, Su Qin and Wang Zongxi reported to Wufeng on their respective aspects of their responsibility in March. The situation in the northwest was very stable, everything was underway according to the established plan, and fiscal revenues were steadily increasing. Although it was not enough to support the expenditure of the army, it had risen a lot compared with the same period last year, and other work was also carried out in a very good way. Wang Zongxi also briefly reported on the government affairs of the three prefectures of Longdong, Tianshui and Beiyuan. The situation in Longdong and Tianshui has completely calmed down. With the joint cooperation of the security department and the internal affairs department, many hidden remnants of Taiping Cult and Taitai.

The people involved in the Pingjun were cleaned up, either distributed to the Tenggeri grassland to build roads or sent to Northern Luzon to mine, which effectively hit the remnants of the Taiping Cult in this area. The economies of the three places were also restored, and Lulong's mines had been nationalized. Both the original Miao family mines and other families were owned by the northwest. The cotton textile industry and agricultural product processing industry in Longdong and Tianshui have also developed, especially the paint industry in Longdong and Tianshui and the wood processing industry in Tianshui have all developed greatly. The road widening and repair engineering industry from Longdong to Lulong have been started, which will effectively communicate the economies of the two places.

However, Wufeng's focus is not here. He is more concerned about the implementation of his grain purchase plan. Xiao Tang focused on reporting this situation. In order to implement Wufeng's plan, the Northwest Bank's 60 million imperial gold coins were spent. Xiao Tang also borrowed and borrowed from several money houses in the name of the Northwest Administration, with a total of 130 million imperial gold coins, including the iron ore and silver mines in Lulong, Yinchuan, Shuangdui, as well as the tobacco and alcohol monopoly in Northern Luzon and Northwest.

The tariffs in the northwest include the Northwest County, Northern Luzon, the Western Regions, and the Dominions of Mot and Tubu are guaranteed. Among them, it is expected to purchase grain from the countries of Liberia to spend 20 million imperial gold coins, purchase grain from the Indian and De'an to spend 25 million imperial gold coins, purchase grain from the Andes to 30 million imperial gold coins, spend 80 million imperial gold coins in the mainland of the empire, and spend 35 million imperial gold coins in Machikhan and Milan. A total of 35 million dans of food are expected to be purchased.

The entire plan has been fully launched and operated normally. Although it has caused considerable fluctuations in the grain markets in various places, due to the stable prices over the years, the grain purchase action has been very smooth after the northwest opened a price higher than the market price. Especially in the Andes and Indian and German regions, a large number of grain merchants flocked to them and demanded that the northwest government not have purchased on behalf of the government. When the grain purchase plans of the mainland of the empire, Liberia and southern countries have not yet reached its peak, the grain purchase plans of the Andes countries have entered the later stage, and the grain in the Indian and German regions has also been continuously transported into Shuangdui and Kuche.

Seeing Wufeng smiled and nodded repeatedly to his report, Xiao Tang couldn't help but say, "Sir, although our plan went very smoothly, no matter which region it seems, it is very well distributed. The abundant food supply makes the price not exceed our expectations. I guess it may not be possible to achieve the purpose of our scheduled plan without the funds we have prepared. However, I still can't help asking, what is your basis for judgment? Is it reliable? I shouldn't have asked this question, but this is related to the future future of our northwest. Once the judgment is wrong, our hard-working accumulation over the past few years may turn into flowing water, and it is likely to affect your rule in the northwest and even the Northern Luzon, so I have to take the liberty to ask again."

"Haha, Xiao Tang, there is no such thing in the world. There are 100% sure things. As long as you feel that you are sure enough, anyone will do 100% sure things. How can there be profits without risks? This time I have the gambling element in it, but once it is successful, we will be invincible in the next few years. Of course, I will definitely not make those unsure bets, please believe me." Wu Feng smiled himself. Although he had known that this grain purchase operation would empty his old capital, he did not expect that Xiao Tang would execute his orders so thoroughly that he couldn't help feeling guilty after hearing such a huge amount of loans. Once he failed, he was afraid that he would really go bankrupt and become a debt slave to the money house. But at this time, the arrow was on the string, and he had to bite the bullet and cheer up his subordinates.

"Sir, if the Eastern Continent is really as you said, there will be a major natural disaster, it is indeed a rare opportunity for us. The countries of Liberia do not have a large grain reserve. Once there is a shortage of food, they will definitely not be able to expand externally. Being able to maintain success is the maximum. The Taiping Cult has no awareness of this. I think our attention should not be only on Anyuan, but on a longer-term basis. If we can take this opportunity to further divide and disintegrate the internal factions of Taiping Cult that are originally disinterested in morality, I want to take Heshuo to completely solve the problem of solving Taiping Cult from a military perspective." Seeing Wufengxin

Swearing, Su Qin was more inclined to believe Wufeng's presumption. He focused on integrating the forces around the northwest. "In addition, the Lang family will be our next target. Now the Myanmar region is in a semi-independent state. The Wenna and the Lang family are fighting continuously in the central part of the Myanmar region. Both sides have won and lost. Lang Yongquan has a little advantage, but both sides have been exhausted. It turned out that many merchants from Jiangnan and Wuhu invested in and developed in Myanmar region. Now the achievements in this area have been completely destroyed. A large amount of land has been abandoned, and the food in Tiannan is only self-sufficiency in normal years. Once a famine occurs, I think Lang Yongquan can be put to rest!"

"Haha, Su Qin's words are just right. Situ Lang asked me to launch an offensive in Qinghe to break the siege of the imperial capital, but I refused. The strength of the Kamans has not diminished now, and we cannot fight head-on with them, especially in Qinghe. We will find it difficult to gain the upper hand in both field and siege. I prefer to solve Tiannan or Heshuo first. According to Su Qin's words, I am more confident. Whether it is Heshuo or Tiannan, as long as the time is ripe, we can launch an offensive at any time. Bo Jinchen, Xu Wenzhe, and Wenna are all heroes of the generation. If they can be used for us, I think our great cause will go smoothly." Wufeng waved his big hand strongly, full of confidence, "The Kamans and Maqikhan will be our biggest stumbling blocks. It is not the time to kick these two stumbling blocks away, but one day I will let them see the courage of our Northwest Army."

"Sir, Winner has sent people to the northwest to contact us and ask us for support. Su Qin has sent people to contact him. He is a little difficult now. Lang Yongquan has made up his mind to completely conquer Myanmar land to eliminate future troubles. Although Winner has received support from local local people, his foundation is indeed too shallow and his strength is a bit inferior. I am worried that it will be difficult for him to survive July, so my subordinates suggest that he can take measures to help him." Su Qin carefully said that although he is responsible for diplomacy, Wufeng set the rule that the government does not control the military, and the military does not interfere in politics. It is strictly forbidden to confuse the two. Wufeng is very taboo about this, so he is very careful even within his responsibilities.
