In late January, the weather has begun to warm up a bit.

The Central Plains War is about to break out.

And Yizhou, although it is also a transfer of troops, but internally, it is relatively stable, and the economy has developed little by little, especially after the invention of cement, infrastructure projects have begun to emerge in endlessly.

The force of cement, building bridges and building roads, has a special force, and can even open up the progress of an era.

On this day, the weather was mild, and the stone bridge between the Yuzhong Peninsula and Jiangbei opened a groundbreaking ceremony in Jiangzhou City.

This time the bridge will be led by Gongcao himself, headed by Jingping, a total of 12 commercial banks to join hands in a government and business cooperation, to have technology, to have funds, will be based on cement and steel bars, to create a landmark of the times.

At the beginning of the groundbreaking ceremony, Mu Jing personally came to the scene to excavate the first shovel of soil.

"I hope that the construction of this bridge will open up the development road of our Jiangzhou, open up our north and south pavilions of Jiangzhou, and let us Jiangzhou be more united!"

Mu Jing's loud declaration detonated the audience.

"Minghou Yingming!"

"Minghou Yingming!"

The people were very excited, and they shouted in unison, and even some fanatical fans would shout the slogan 'Long live the Ming Hou' without fear of the location of the imperial court.

After the ceremony, Mu Jing called Mu Qin to him.

"This time to build a bridge, other firms can be said to be investments, and the investment is rewarding, but Jingping must help free of charge, contribute money and efforts, and do not hesitate!"

Mu Jing patted Mu Qin on the shoulder and said: "If Jingping wants to become the head of the business road, it must have enough atmosphere, don't be restrained about some interests, and you want things, once this bridge is built, it will have a huge impact on the Yuzhong Peninsula, including the houses we built on the Yuzhong Peninsula, which will also be sold at a high price!" ”

Jingping Commercial Bank has changed its name to Jingping after the year.

Jingping used to be a trading house, but after the dissolution, although many resources Mu Jing followed, but at present, it is the business name of the Mu family, and it is not appropriate to use the name of the commercial bank.

Jingping, this is a trademark.

At present, Jingping's influence on the business road and the accumulation of wealth are among the best today, and they can at least be listed as the top ten firms in the world.

"Understood!"

Mu Qin nodded, and said: "The master of the family, can we contract the lot, the current advantages of the cement road have been gradually excavated, once such a cement road is established, the speed of the carriage can be increased by more than one cup, this year alone, Gongcao has released twelve gallop plans, but our Jingping identity is sensitive, if it is next, it will have an impact on the owner of the family!" ”

"There are some things that you have to dodge, the next project issued by the Minghou Mansion, even if I do it fairly, there will be gossip, I'm not afraid, it's just a little worthless!"

Mu Jing thought for a while and said: "After all, Jingping is in the name of our Mu family, don't be too attached to some infrastructure projects, it's best to concentrate on the main force, in the part of the house, food, clothing, housing, transportation, housing, and living, for the people, it is always the most important thing!" ”

"Good!"

Mu Qin thought about it and nodded in response, originally for these infrastructure projects, he still had some changes in his heart, but now it is about Mu Jing's reputation, he will never risk this.

………………

Coming back from the river embankment, it was already afternoon, and on the main hall of Zhaoming Pavilion, Mu Jing was lying on the table writing and painting, very serious and engrossed.

"Lord, what are you doing?"

Xi Zhicai walked in without knowing what, looked at Mu Jing's graffiti on the white paper, and asked with some doubts.

"I'm thinking about the future development of Jiangzhou City!"

Mu Jing said: "I have thought about it, unless one day, we can hit the Central Plains and lay the foundation of the world in one fell swoop, otherwise Jiangzhou City will be our roots, these years, the development of Jiangzhou City is still too slow!" ”

"In addition, with the improvement of the various departments of the Minghou Mansion, the current government office is not very sufficient, and as the center of Yizhou, it lacks majesty, and it is difficult to deter local officials, so I want to re-establish an official office!"

Mu Jing put down the pen in his hand and said: "Now Hongdu Science and Technology Institute has invented such a thing as cement, which solidifies quickly and is very tough, and I am still thinking about whether to build a landmark building when we are the government of the Ming Marquis Mansion!" ”

It's not that he's so happy.

It's a political group, and it needs a nest to calm people's hearts, and these officials who come back to post will also destroy their trust when they see the tattered and deserted Minghou Mansion.

"My lord, when we entered Yizhou, the famous wine established a luxurious Minghou Mansion in Hanzhong, but we basically gave up in a few years, which is a waste of financial and material resources!"

Xi Zhicai said in a low voice: "Today's Yizhou, although rich, but facing a lot of wars, the Central Plains, you don't know what will be after this battle, so I think that Yizhou must put resources on this, it is not suitable to make a big move in Jiangzhou at present, maybe a few years later, look at the changes, and then talk about the construction of the Minghou Mansion, it doesn't hurt, or maybe this battle, we can fight Chang'an, Chang'an is the imperial capital of the previous dynasty, and it is more suitable for us to be the center!" ”

"Conquer Chang'an?"

Mu Jing shook his head: "Don't say that there is little hope, even if I can come down, I will not move to Chang'an, the Central Plains is too dangerous now, I must keep my central command, so it is safest to put them in Jiangzhou!" ”

"But don't worry, I won't move easily, at this time, it's better to be still than to be still, even if the Minghou Mansion is rich, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand the consumption of the war!"

"The lord has the bottom in his heart, and his subordinates will rest assured!"

It was only at this time that Xi Zhi thought of the purpose of Zhaoming Pavilion, he handed the file in his hand to Mu Jing, and said softly: "This is the situation that the General Staff Division just brought up, about the deduction of the Central Plains Campaign!" ”

The greatest task of the staff officers of the General Staff Department is to deduce and deduce the development of the war, and try to find out as many accidents as possible that can be found.

"How many plans are these?" Mu Jing asked.

"The fifth set!"

Xi Zhicai said: "The first four sets have all been vetoed by me, and at present, I think this is the plan closest to battlefield deduction!" ”

"Chen Gong is still in Northern Xinjiang, and now the General Staff Department is led by you personally!"

"Hmm!"

"Do you think that even if you fight to the end and defeat Dong Zhuo, you may not be able to completely defeat the Xiliang army!"

"The Xiliang war will come out in large numbers, and the people's hearts are united, and the princes of the Central Plains, the people's hearts are not aligned, it will be difficult to achieve a big thing after all, even if they send troops to fight the thief, but they may not be willing to fight Dong Zhuo to the death, and Dong Zhuo will definitely fight hard in the face of this situation, and it will be difficult to defeat him!"

Xi Zhicai replied.

"The deduction is good, but many factors still can't be taken into account!" Mu Jing carefully looked at the report of the deduction, and while reading, he said: "Considering the battlefield environment, we must also take into account the variables in the rear of the battlefield, Dong Zhuo's rear can be the Son of Heaven, whether the Son of Heaven will take the opportunity to make a move, it is still an unknown number, and whether the princes from all walks of life are willing to win the Son of Heaven back is also a question!" “

"This problem will affect the mood of the confrontation on the battlefield, and even affect the result!"

"So you have to think about it carefully!"

Mu Jing handed back the scroll in his hand and said, "Call back, re-deduce, order Jing Wusi to inquire about more real news, and then send it to the staff department, order them to do a more careful deduction, I want a more detailed deduction plan!" ”

"No!"

Xi Zhicai nodded.

…………

In the evening, Mu Jing sorted out the files on the desk, which seemed quite relaxed and happy.

After the establishment of the political participation system, the ministers participating in the politics can enter the cabinet to assist the government and participate in the approval of government affairs, not to mention outside, just in Jiangzhou City, Hu Zhao, Liu Jin, Qin Song, and Xi Zhicai can all enter the cabinet to approve the text, and the work of Mu Jing is a little easier.

"My lord, the head of the Honglu Division, I ask to see you outside the door!"

"Ijibo is back?"

Mu Jing's eyes lit up slightly, stopped leaving Zhaoming Pavilion, and said in a deep voice: "Let him come in!" ”

"No!"

Under the leadership of a divine guard, Yi Ji strode into the main hall of Zhaoming Pavilion.

"The subordinate Honglu Division is the head of the Yi nationality, meet the lord!"

Yi bowed his head.

"No need to be polite!"

Mu Jing stood up from the desk, walked to the front, personally helped Yi Zhi, looked at him with some vicissitudes of life, and said with emotion: "It's really hard for you to work hard outside in the past few years!" ”

"Work hard for the Minghou Mansion, the subordinates are not hard!"

"Let's talk about the situation in Jiaozhou!"

"No!"

Yi nodded, then pondered for a while, and then spoke: "My lord, in Jiaozhou, there are currently two entrenched princes, Jiaozhi is too shou Shixie, and Jiaozhou is Mu Zhang Jin!" ”

"I visited them one after the other!"

"Although Shi Xie is annoyed by our march to Jiaozhi, but for now, it is still very easy to speak, before coming back, I have reached an agreement with them, the herdsman army will send troops, seize Jiaozhou for him, and he will give up the port of Jiaozhi!"

"The deal may not be successful, but in a way, this is already a concession from Shixie!"

"As for Zhang Jin, he fought several battles with the Jiangdong Army last year, and was defeated by the Jiangdong Army, and now in the eastern region of Jiaozhou, many places have been occupied by the Jiangdong Army, and Zhang Jin is defeated and retreated!"

"When I visited Zhang Jin, he was still very tough!"

"In addition, I also visited many wealthy families in Jiaozhou to see their reactions to our pastoral army entering Jiaozhou, most of the wealthy families maintained a resistant attitude towards us!"

“……”

In front of Mu Jing, Yi told all the things he had done in Jiaozhou this year, and said it in detail, which was convenient for Mu Jing's judgment.
