And after this night, there seems to be no more changes except for one more person who can warm the bed, and the women of the family have reacted much more plainly than I thought, and it seems that it is easy to accept this reality. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And Ah Zi also seems to have acquiesced to the status quo, although everything is still business as usual on the surface, but for my private requests and desires, there is no resistance to what I want.

In contrast, it was the waves brought about by the marriage of the dynasty, which had a greater impact in my back house; After all, the other party is the daughter of a prominent public family with a strong background, which will make these family backgrounds not the same, resulting in a more or less sense of crisis or self-pity and inferiority;

So I had to redouble my efforts to soothe their spirits and emotions.

Of course, it is said that it is a marriage from the heavenly family or something, but it will be after the beginning of spring at the latest, and if you really have to go through the whole process, under normal circumstances, out of the dignity and etiquette of the heavenly family, I am afraid that it will not be able to take it in half a year.

What's more, it's really a formal marriage, and I have to go back and forth with Borneo and Guangfu several times, and ask Libu Ji Yu Zun Chang, who is my cheap lord father. After such a twist and turn, it may be enough to make things change.

So I took advantage of the last bit of leisure time left at home before the beginning of spring, and seized the time to stay with them, and continued to live an absurd life sometimes several times a day, sometimes a few times a day; Sometimes I hold a soft and soft body, and I play the side ball or something when I pass the door and don't enter;

Otherwise, call back the meat toys that have been transferred to the hands of the mysterious creatures, play some wild excretion bondage, whipping, feeding dripping wax *** or something, and place play and training games to change tastes.

And my daily attention is also focused on Mrs. Chen's private letters; Sister A's letter has a lot of content, except for stating some big and small things, there is only one main meaning.

After this series of changes and accidents, the decline and decline of the Chen clan in Raozhou, the giant clan she was born in, is inevitable. In this turmoil, even the Guizhou Ning family, who was born in charge of Ning, was also implicated a lot, and the influence in the court was greatly reduced.

And the Zhedong consortium, which stood behind these two surnames, also suffered heavy losses in the disaster of the Great Cloud Sect; As the foundation of the whole territory of eastern Zhejiang, only a few isolated island-like state cities remained, relying on the help and support of the sea route to survive.

However, it is clear that there is no need to produce resources and economic circulation, and the endorsement power and influence supported by the DPRK and China are also being eroded by other chaebols and groups overseas; It is said that in order to raise military expenses and state expenses, the shogunate has opened up and lifted a number of restrictions on commercial groups and overseas clans.

Therefore, in the past two years, I have continued to have the resources and financial resources, and I have turned to the north and developed in Huaizhen, and I can be regarded as one of the few external forces that have been granted permission to enter Huaidi under my rule;

In addition, several wealthy families from Luzon such as the Tang clan behind Lu Wuguan began to gradually transfer the industries of Guangfu to the north a few years ago; There is no other reason, in the case of the successive increase in taxes and collections, it is just trying to avoid and share the risks, and this time after the recovery of Guangfu, the other party has increased a similar pace.

But this time it is different, it is no longer just about using the Northland side as some kind of external window and channel, but as some kind of potential retreat and future

Of course, this also represents a certain optimistic prospect and trend for the growing power of our Huai Town.

However, this is not something that pedestrians, commerce, and maritime trade can decide; Because my attitude has always been to strictly prohibit and prevent the gradual and excessive size of commercial organizations or interest groups from directly entering the inland territory controlled by Huaizhen;

The main purpose is to prevent the serious impact and impact on the economic activities that have just begun to form under the rule of Huaizhen, and even the occurrence of anti-customer-oriented dominance of part of the economic lifeline changing hands to others; It can be regarded as a disguised trade protection and economic system barrier.

This is where the conflict with the Tokai branch comes from.

But now it is obviously different, within the sphere of influence of Huaizhen, the Donghai branch has inevitably declined, and is no longer able to pose a decent external threat. With the expansion of Huaizhen's power and the gradual improvement of the local economic ecology, the ability to resist external influences and specific risks has also been greatly strengthened.

Relying only on the old subordinate forces of Borneo, Yizhou, and Dengzhou under my name, there is also a tendency to be somewhat monotonous and lack of competitive vitality; In other words, among the newly expanded territory and population, it has shown a momentum of being unable to catch up.

After all, the development of Huaizhen in recent years has been very fast, but the financial resources and manpower they have are relatively limited; In addition, a series of levies and apportionments by the national dynasty also had a somewhat negative impact on them.

Moreover, the other party is also willing to pay a greater price and conditions in exchange for the shelter under the rule of Huaizhen and the convenience of entering the interior of the Northland, and even abide by and obey to a considerable extent, the corresponding rules and exclusive conditions designated by Huaizhen, in exchange for a place to rely on and more development opportunities in other aspects in the economic circle under the protection of Huaizhen in the Northland.

Under the circumstance that the existing economic structure and local commercial forces are already relatively stable, even if the influence and impact of the introduction of some foreign competitive forces are increased, it will be enough to be replaced and suppressed by the new influx of resources and financial resources.

Of course, it is the so-called over-the-top price and repayment on the spot, after this initial intention, the details of the contact and cooperation between the two sides are still preferential to continue to negotiate and discuss; As the so-called brothers should also settle accounts, personal friendship and origin are one thing, and it is another thing to involve the overall interests of the Huaizhen Group under my leadership.

Of course, I can unconditionally provide corresponding shelter and favorable conditions for that sister and her related people; But for the substantive demands of the family and local interest groups behind her, that's another matter entirely;

The other party is obviously also a person who understands this truth, so what she said in the letter is just a kind of bridge and channel with her old roots and relationships, but she does not show any specific requirements.

According to the suggestion of the enigmatic creature, they can also be put together when necessary, and put in some kind of competing position and position to get the best results and conditions.

Another major event is the large-scale project that has been carried out in parallel with the preparation of spring ploughing, which requires a lot of labor, and has been carried out for several years, and has now extended to Hebei and Huainan respectively.

Therefore, after the beginning of spring, with the start of the Huaihe River branch water conservancy control project, the two banks of the lower reaches of the Huaihe River to the estuary will enter a busy period of large-scale construction; Also expanding the construction of the irrigation project in the Jishui basin of the northern route and the third phase of the Cao River dredging project on the north bank of the Yellow River have also been expanded.

At the very least, it is necessary to complete the cleaning and dredging of the most basic trunk rivers between May and June, before the arrival of the flood season of the Huai River; Only then can follow-up tinkering and reinforcement projects ensure the stability of the Huai River runoff in the next few to ten years, and the agricultural addition of the irrigation system in the coastal areas, together with the direct and indirect economic benefits brought by the complete connection of the north-south transportation line that runs hundreds of miles.

Of course, the kings of the Northern Dynasties and the powerful local feudal towns in history were not unable to see the advantages and disadvantages of this aspect, but they obviously lacked enough patience and motivation, or enough courage to implement this long-term and slow-achieving livelihood project; After all, dredging and restoring water transportation is one thing, and if you want to maintain the daily life of the transportation system, it is another thing;

You must know that the transportation of the dynasties since ancient times has been a great occupation of manpower, animal power and ships, and the coastal population and local interest groups involved in it have been fed by hundreds of thousands; Especially in the current situation where the population of Huainan to Huaibei is withered, it is even more impossible to implement and maintain.

But now under the rule of Huaizhen under my leadership, there is a big killer in this regard, that is, the hydro wheel driven by the pot and mule machine, in the case of using the 1+n trailer mode, a water ship equipped with a pot and mule machine can drive a river transport fleet composed of a whole flat boat; Capable of replacing the utility of hundreds or thousands of manpower, or the pull of hundreds of livestock; And because it only consumes its own coal, it is far superior to these traditional models in terms of durability and durability, as well as operating costs.

Therefore, the supply of components and supporting factories for the production of steam engines throughout the winter has been stopped, and they have been fully engaged in the production of pot and mule machines for water steamers, so as to free up and withdraw more human resources along the Cao River.

Today, the only factor that can limit this production capacity is the production of vegetable gum used as heat-resistant seals, which is mainly determined by the scale of cultivation in Eucommia ulmoides; As well as the training of the corresponding operators, the operation and maintenance of a pot and mule machine on a vehicle and ship, at least five people, including at least two craftsmen, in order to carry out rotation.

In the final analysis, the purpose of the large-scale construction project is to gradually digest the surplus manpower and war gains accumulated in Huaizhen last year and turn them into a part of the real resource output and military mobilization capacity through the advancement of these engineering projects?

Of course, the premise is that there is still no one on the side of the country and the DPRK who can block and hinder me.

However, as the saying goes, in addition to the troubles and subsequent effects of marriage, I have not heard any bad news and repercussions from China in a short period of time; However, in Huainan, I received news of the activities of the Great Cloud Sect. (To be continued.) )
