The armies of Shanhai County began to move, and the Western Corps, which consisted of various legions, also began to advance towards the predetermined location.

The roads had already been paved, and after the army adjusted its strategic planning and liberated itself from the tuntian and industrial production, it began to advance in terms of roads and construction.

In two months, the Senlan Highway, which was supposed to be completed by the end of the year, was officially completed in May.

May 13 A.D.

"The Western Corps has officially been stationed in Shoushan County, and the transport routes and training fortifications have also stabilized."

Wang Lanling talked about the Western Army at the morning meeting.

This is just by the way, there has been no action on the Shanzhou side now, and the waste on the Shanzhou side has not yet formed a naval fleet for two months.

Except for a few more people in Yanshan County, there was no movement at all.

Wang Lanling can't directly hit Shanzhou, so it's so consumed now.

Let's see who can afford it!

Fighting a war is not only a matter of people with guns, but the number of people covered is more than one million, and the consumption of military salaries and the tilt of various resources and rights are not small numbers.

It's okay to say that you are used to it, but the appearance of Wang Lanling has completely added a burden to several nearby states out of thin air!

Out of thin air, there is a huge amount of military spending!

In the past, there was no such unnecessary military expenditure.

Wang Lanling is also annoyed by this kind of confrontation, and he is also burning money on his side.

Fortunately, because the armies of several nearby states came to power, the merchants no longer had to worry about banditry.

Now the worries are about the uniformed captains, who are not inferior to robbers and horse thieves in terms of blood sucking and brutality.

The markets in Shanzhou and Yanshan counties have been strongly disturbed, and Wang Lanling still has five months to go.

Within five months, the standoff was ended and trade was resumed.

"Anyway, we always have meetings here, but it's actually a few people who talk every time."

Wang Lanling talked about ideological construction and looked at the people on both sides.

"Except for a few people who were close to me, every time the rest of us came over for a meeting, they just listened."

The rest of the people quickly became energetic and listened carefully to the leader's instructions.

Wang Lanling said: "You don't have to be sloppy with me, I know how to mess around during the meeting, and I understand the helplessness." ”

"Forget about the people of us, we are basically people with ideals, and what I say is basically the right thing, which is related to the big things in the future."

"But when you hold a meeting with others, it is not necessarily like this, and it is different when your next level officials hold meetings with the rest of the people."

"This kind of thing is a meeting, you can know something in the future, don't delay everyone's time if it's not particularly important, and try not to hold it outside of work hours."

Wang Lanling said: "I still need a class meeting once a week, and the morning meeting every morning is controlled within five minutes as much as possible. ”

What is the situation of the people below, Wang Lanling is clear, he often held meetings when he was in Heishui County.

The leader is incompetent, so there are always meetings and there are always long speeches in meetings.

Lishui County, Shanzhou.

It has been three months since the imperial army arrived in Lanzhou in February.

Lishui County is not as prosperous as Longzhu County, but it has accumulated more wealth than Longzhu County and Shanzhou Prefecture.

This is due to the fact that it has some of the best salt works and glass factories along the coast, and secondly because it is the central point of the shipping and shipping routes.

In addition, there is more farmland here than in Longzhu County.

Usually suitable for farming, the number of merchants and the prosperity are not as good as those poor and bad.

The seaside place where the Great River Chamber of Commerce is located can only develop trade because it can only do business.

Lishui County is different here, the middle and lower classes here are not as rich as there, but the upper classes here are very rich and have greater power.

When the imperial army came, the situation changed, and the political groups in the county began to negotiate with the general from Longzhou.

To this day, the benefits have not been well distributed.

In a small island mansion off the coast of Tachisu-gun, a group of people gathered.

"I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone!"

"Brother Gonglong, why are you stingy with a little money and sacrifice great righteousness?!"

Wu Gonglong listened to the words of the young man opposite, lowered his head, and his face was still so solemn and indecisive.

Wu Gonglong, 23 years old this year, is a famous person in the county, and three generations of his family are all wealthy people in this county, and he has been an official for generations, and he has also accumulated a lot of wealth.

He is currently the director of the county water department.

This is not an official position, at first he was the head of the tax department, and then he was the official department of the city, and then he took the initiative to ask for the position of the water department.

He is a member of the elite, and such "autonomous" job transfers are common in many places, especially in some small counties.

It's really changed to a place like Dragon City, but it's hard to do.

Wu Gonglong on the other side was a classmate he knew before, and he was also somewhat related.

When Wu Gonglong remained silent, Wu Gonglong's brother-in-law Dongfang Gu Yu said: "Brother-in-law, now the imperial court has levied taxes several times, and even if you collect money, you can still forcibly recruit our clansmen to serve as soldiers!" ”

"What exactly is it, we people all see it, and what we turn over and over again is a money word!"

"Instead of giving money to those corrupt officials who do nothing, it is better to give money to Shanhai County and form a good relationship with Wang Lanling!"

The people in this room are persuading Wu Gonglong to pay money, but not for the imperial court, but for Wang Lanling.

Advanced molecules with positive thoughts (forks)

Paradise Island Vacation Homecoming Group (Hook)

From the double transcendence of thought and matter!

After seeing those cadres and groups on Paradise Island who do not accept bribes, do not want money, and have a super positive ideological style and actions, these people who already like to talk about government affairs in vain naturally feel that those officials above their heads are not things.

There are some things that you don't do, but for those who do, there is still awe.

For example, Wang Lanling himself is unwilling to live a hard life for ten years, and refuses to give up the superior life and enjoyment on his body, but for those who really do this, he treats them solemnly.

These people are the same, their own butts are unclean, but it does not prevent them from comparing the officials of Paradise Island with the officials of Lishui County, and then scolding them.

These people who have spent all their money on Paradise Island and have to come back have a good impression of Paradise Island.

They are 10,000 dissatisfied with their hometown, which allows them to accumulate wealth and live in peace.

No air conditioning, no comfortable and breathable high-end clothes, no bright lights, no 24-hour take-out and à la carte service, no sweet honey, no seafood beer and barbecue, no sunny beach beach......

It's not as good as summer, and it's even worse than winter!

Paradise Island in winter, with a warm heating room like summer, is a better place to live than the winter in Shanzhou!

It was not only two people who persuaded Wu Gonglong, but many people, and everyone came to persuade Wu Gonglong.

"I'll tell you the truth, my family has been doing business with Wang Lanling for a long time, and the coal that is supplied to Paradise Island will have a part of my family!"

"It's the same with my family, my family buys fabric from Shanhai County, and when I go, the ship is loaded with wood!"

"My family also sold wood in the past, and when I came back, I collected the dead money."

The rest of the people also talked about their own business one after another, and they all cooperated with Wang Lanling at home, so they were arranged to go to Paradise Island to see the situation.

In addition to food, what Shanhai County needs most is wood.

A large amount of wood is needed to make paper, to build houses and furniture for a large number of people, as well as various agricultural tools and gun butts.

The location of Shanhai County is not good at all, it is useless here except for agriculture.

Large expanses of wasteland and permafrost, as well as barren hills and weed-overgrown barren fields.

Wang Lanling occupies the land that is suitable for farming, and he can solve the food problem, but Shanhai County is really not suitable for trees to grow.

Except for small forests, the forests that are basically closer to the town have been cut down for many years.

Don't expect the poor people in the cold regions to have any long-term plans for the trees, they can live well for the present, and they don't have time to think about the future.

There aren't many places in the whole of Maki that are suitable for trees to grow, but there is a good thing about it, and that is that it is a good place to produce explosives.

Gunpowder, leather, metal, coal, these Wang Lanling can be self-sufficient.

Wood needs to be imported from outside, and in order to prevent problems with trade channels like this one, Yamahae-gun imports wood from multiple sources.

In recent years, Wang Lanling has not only carried out afforestation activities in Shanhai County, but also called on people from outside to plant trees in exchange for money.

This is the infiltration of influence, and the influence and ideas of Shanhai County have been infiltrating Shanzhou for several years.

Wu Gonglong and Wang Lanling are about the same age, but since they were teenagers, they have constantly heard the legend of Wang Lanling.

What led the river to flood the Yunshui County Government, what caused the people to ask for orders to curse and kill the dog official, what seven steps into a poem and so on.

At first, I thought it was ridiculous, but when I saw Wang Lanling's poem when I was young, I thought it was nothing more than that.

Influenced by Wang Lanling's atmosphere, fifteen-year-old Wu Gonglong was arranged by his family to be the director of the county seat, which is still a better tax department than the Water Affairs Department.

Later, the goods and merchants of Heishui County spread their fame here in just two or three years, and when people talked about the merchants of Heishui County, they thought that the people there could do business.

There are also people in the school who know about Wang Lanling from relatives and friends, Wang Lanling has made many noble people in the official school, and he will always go to the grassroots level to experience and do things.

After such a low-key three years, Wang Lanling went to Muzhou.

originally thought that when this person died in a small place in his life, Wang Lanling was famous all over the world one by one.

All kinds of unbelievable and impossible things have become a reality under this man.

Wu Gonglong, who has been in the officialdom for several years, thinks that Wang Lanling is too smooth, and he will definitely be in trouble in the next few years.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!

With a serious face, he and his family, as well as relatives and friends, judged Wang Lanling's future.

Then Wang Lanling did not bird the imperial court, and twice in a row took the imperial army's army down, forcing the imperial court to make peace with him......

Wu Gonglong became more and more calm, and he, like the teachers of the major official schools, would no longer easily judge Wang Lanling's future.

People like them, who have been judging Wang Lanling's future in the early years, are mostly unclear.

In the past, everyone listened to it, but now even if it is the prediction of those gentlemen who taught Wang Lanling, everyone just laughs and doesn't take it seriously.

So even if Wang Lanling is fighting on the third front now, no one is optimistic about the imperial court.

The attitude of both the intelligentsia and the bureaucracy was negative.

Shanzhou Mu was defeated by Wang Lanling, and there was no hope on the side of Yanshan County, and the entire Muzhou was shattered by Wang Lanling.

There is no hope on the side of Shanzhou, and the people who look down on the navy the most are the locals of Shanzhou.

"I have to think about this matter, I am not the only one in the clan, if this matter is known by the rest of the people, I am afraid that the whole clan will be implicated."

Wu Gonglong didn't make a decision, his family actually had some business with Shanhai County.

Shanhai County is like a small place with endless money, but it has become a place where most merchants in the coastal area of Shanzhou go to trade.

The rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Wu Gonglong was willing to speak, this person was a well-known talent in the entire Shanzhou.

What really made Wu Gonglong consider this matter was not the persuasion of the rest of the people, but the deeper problem.

First of all, with the influence of Wang Lanling and the uprisings in various places, the emperor no longer trusts people who are not from the clan.

In the past few years, the princes from all over the country have gradually moved from the behind-the-scenes position of idle pension to the front of the stage.

The real power positions such as the state pastor and the governor are increasingly inseparable from the figure of the Jiang family.

The county guard and some military official positions were also occupied by the descendants of the Jiang family and the cronies and servants of these people.

Being an official is no longer based on ability and political achievements, but sycophancy and nepotism.

Without someone who can speak up in the bureaucracy, the decline of the family is inevitable.

At present, the influence of the Wu family in the officialdom is declining rapidly, especially this time when the general looted the people's fat and ointment here in Shanzhou, which caused a lot of harm to the entire bureaucracy in Shanzhou.

It's okay for the people of the Jiang family to ask for money, but now it's their lives!!

Wang Lanling is different over there, there is a meritocracy.

People like Hu Zhong, Fang Yue, Tong Yue, Gong Yueman, and Lin Zunian are not from good backgrounds.

Zhao Liyang and Lu Jianping, who are from good backgrounds, are also capable people.

Judging from various channels, there are not enough talents under Wang Lanling, and there are no particularly powerful people.

Therefore, Wu Gonglong felt that with his own ability, it was easier to get ahead there.

It is not that famous people do not invest in those who come from poor backgrounds, they are not optimistic.

Wang Lanling is different, he is indeed from a humble family, but whether it is in governance, military affairs and diplomacy, he is a first-class strong.

In a few years, Shanhai County will be able to transform from a small land into a paradise that attracts the attention of the world, accumulate wealth that rivals the wealth of the country, and build industrial and civilian facilities far superior to those on the side of the empire.

The population is also increasing rapidly, and Wang Lanling's ten-year plan is not only believed by the people of Shanhai County, but also makes people from the outside world think about the future of this place.

10 million people!

Wang Lanling is definitely not without a background, this person's current background is too strong!

While the general was steadily preparing for war, more and more powerful people began to think about surrender.

Monogamy doesn't matter at all.

History proves that every dignitary and defector who thinks about emigrating thinks that he will not break the laws of a foreign country.
