"I thank Niangniang for her kindness, but the dog's stubborn nature still needs to be tempered, if you rashly let him enter the court, I am afraid that it will be useless to the court, and please think twice!" Di Renjie euphemistically rejected Wu Zetian, he knew very well in his heart, "The so-called Tongdian is a minister, this is to promote Di Feng exceptionally, the official rank of the seventh rank cannot enter the Golden Palace, this Wu Zetian can't be unclear, first temptation, then coercion, and finally the means of winning over the Empress Wu are becoming more and more sophisticated"; Di Renjie couldn't help but sigh secretly: "The building will fall!" ”

Seeing the helplessness inadvertently shown on Di Renjie's face, Wu Zetian smiled and said: "Okay, Jinghui is still young and his qualifications are indeed not enough, so let him hone and hone in Xinning now, and recruit him back when he has accumulated enough merit." As he spoke, he grabbed a chess piece and threw it on the board, "Today's chess is boring, don't play, you can retreat!" ”

Di Renjie got up and knelt down again, then turned around and walked out of the Taiji Palace.

After waiting for Di Renjie to leave, Wu Zetian muttered "Xinning Difeng Maitreya Sect" and pondered for a long time, and then said to the maid: "Tell the official to come!" ”

The effort was not great, and Shangguan Wan'er still had fine sweat on her forehead, so she hurried over.

"What's the matter with Niangniang calling Wan'er?"

"Let me ask you, has Thirteen Niang heard from you recently?"

"Hui Niangniang, since the death of the eldest grandson, my master has not heard from me again."

"Oh? It seems that Minami is going to be determined to dissociate himself from me, so good! Wu Zetian muttered to himself and then said to Shangguan Wan'er: "You go and inform the north that if you want to do less of those angry things in the long run!" The day of Maitreya's birth is not far off. ”

The continuous drought has lowered the water level of the Wujiang River to the lowest point in history, the craftsmen seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and took advantage of the drop in the water level to go all out to lay rows of foundation piles near the shore, which made the construction of the wharf more smooth, with a large number of sand boats carrying construction materials, the reputation of the Wujiang Development Zone has also spread all over the Qianzhong Road with the shipping of ships, and even the merchants of Jiannan, Shannan, Jiangnan and Lingnan will occasionally appear in the development zone.

Thirteen Niang used their own industries all over the country to do publicity, so that the completion of the first phase of the wharf ushered in a good start, thousands of sails gathered businessmen to the wharf and the development zone is not lively, a large number of grain merchants heard that Qianzhou was affected, but also used sand ships to Xinning to transport grain in order to make huge profits, Xinning wharf grain piled up, as a result, the price of grain in Xinning did not rise because of the disaster, but fell to the lowest level before the disaster.

The surge in merchants also made the squires of the shops they auctioned at the expense of money and silk to complete the construction of their shops in a short period of time.

The original victims have now become the first batch of legal residents of the development zone, and the standard of living is even higher, and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere in the wharves and shops. The chain reaction caused by the prosperity of business and high salaries is the development of sideline industries, breeding, non-staple food, and entertainment, and Xinning Development Zone has become the most prosperous place in Xinning.

In order to raise a large amount of money, only by letting the first batch of shareholders get real money and play an exemplary role, can we continue to expand the redistribution of shares, and Chouer's understanding of finance has far exceeded Di Feng as a traverser; And then there is the promotion of Xinning, the Tang Dynasty has more than 5,000 people in the upper county, more than 3,000 people in the middle county, and less than 3,000 households in the lower county, with the disaster victims settling in the development zone, the population of Xinning has increased by nearly 2,000 people, and it is naturally promoted to the middle county, Di Feng, the county order, has naturally been promoted to half a level of official rank and has become a positive seven products, these procedures are cumbersome and abnormal, fortunately, Wu Dayou's face is not small, and he has not dragged it with Qianzhou; The last is the construction of Xinning's city defense, Di Feng did the God of Wealth, and the ugly child gave him the silver he earned back, and was smashed into the Xinning city defense by Di Feng, fortunately, the dock was completed, and the craftsmen of Thirteen Niang were immediately transferred to the Xinning city defense site after completion.

Coupled with the help of Xinning residents, Xinning's urban defense has begun to take shape, and even the wharf development zone has been included.

The brick factory also came into being in this large-scale development and construction, although there are also brick kilns in Qianzhou, but the output is far away, so Chouer established a brick factory, burning bricks is not difficult for Datang residents, but the most critical is the use of coal, Di Feng crossed to Datang and found that at this time there were already people who knew that coal could be burned, but it was not accepted by the public; Xinning and Pengshui have coal mines, and Di Feng proposed that Chou'er send people to mine coal and burn bricks, so that the speed of brick production will be greatly enhanced; Originally, Di Feng also wanted to show off, so that these ancients could see the red bricks, but it turned out that the red bricks were not as durable as the green bricks in addition to the high yield, which made the ugly man laugh at Di Feng for a long time, in order to save face Di Feng said the cement nonsense, but Di Feng didn't know how the cement was produced, but he knew that this thing was burned out of the stone, anyway, in order to fool the ugly, he said nonsense about the rest for them to grope around.

Today's Xinning, under the mobilization of the whole people, the rammed earth city wall has been six meters high, the width has reached four meters, the winch crossbow in the city tower has been erected, although the scale is not as high as the state city and the important town, those ten meters high, eight or nine meters wide, but it is rare to see in the county.

Looking at the laborers who built the city wall, each holding a steamed cake in their hands and eating the sweetness of pickled mustard greens, Di Feng nodded with satisfaction, which he specially explained to Tian Yangming; Because of the sharp drop in grain prices, there are a lot of grain in the hands of the ugly people who will exchange it for copper, and these grains are only a part of the reserves, and the rest is all used for the daily meals and wages of the laborers, and the laborers who built the city wall now have better food than those big families, which attracted many people to take the initiative to join the ranks of people repairing the city.

Di Feng circled around Xinning City before turning around and saying to the Lingnan Five Tigers: "Let's go, let's go and see how the development zone is now!" ”

When I arrived at the development zone, as soon as I entered the commercial street, I saw a group of people surrounding the door of a shop, and there was a constant sound of scolding in the crowd.

"What's wrong? Why don't you see the stone man appear? Di Feng wondered in his heart, he had confessed to the stone, the security of the development zone must be good, and those foreign merchants could not be insecure, and he had also explained that the Wind and Fire Gang wanted to strictly control those city foxes and rats to pick quarrels and provoke trouble in the development zone, and now so many people were watching but no one came out to ask, which made Di Feng feel strange in his heart, so he stepped forward curiously.

I saw a group of people sitting around the door of a business, one of them looked delicate, but his face was a young man with a cynical expression, and he said to a middle-aged man in the business: "I said Boss Xie, I, Zhang Xiaoguang, just took people to rest in front of your door for a while, and you don't need to instruct the guy to drive people away with a stick, right?" ”

That Boss Xie seemed to be very angry by this Zhang Xiaoguang, his face turned red, and his voice trembled because of anger, "You...... You bunch of ...... I have been sitting at the door of my business for two days, is this a rest? How can I open my door and do business with you here? ”

"Doing business? Okay, you want to do business easily! As long as you repay the one hundred and twenty times you owe us to the Wind and Fire, the master will leave with these people immediately, if you don't pay it back, hum~~ The master will be ready to stay in your Yunhexuan! Zhang Xiaoguang snorted, saying it lightly, but not without threat.

When Boss Xie heard this, he immediately said: "It's true that I owe you money, but I am now strapped for money, and I can't pay it back for a while." If you don't go, I'll call the yacha to fetch you." ”

"Take people? Why take people? We are good people, we don't make noise here, we just sit and rest here, and we don't restrict others from entering and leaving? Besides, you're strapped for money? Did you go to Wangxiang Tower last night? Obediently, the reward for the little lady is consistent; How much did you give to the widow Sun in Xinning City? I don't think you need to come here one by one, right? It is natural to repay debts, everyone present gave comments, see if I Zhang Xiaoguang was wrong? Zhang Xiaoguang said, bowed to the crowd of onlookers, and then asked everyone to comment on right and wrong.

"Yes, Boss Xie, why do you have to drag your debts and not pay them off when you have the money to go to the brothel in the Qinglou?" ...... "That's it, this widow Sun originally had a leg with Boss Xie, and that little girl's skin is so tight!" Hehe............" Driven by Zhang Xiaoguang, there was a sudden discussion around.

"You! …… Someone is going to copy the guy and beat these splashes out! Boss Xie was exposed and immediately became angry, and instructed his men to do it.

Zhang Xiaoguang saw that the guys were about to pounce with sticks, he got up slowly, and said slowly: "You don't need to do it, sticks are not sharp, the master will teach you how to do it", Zhang Xiaoguang said, and pulled out a horn knife from his waist.

The onlookers and the guys who were just about to pounce on him saw that Zhang Xiaoguang had drawn a sharp knife, and they were scorched by the light of Han Sensen's knife, and they couldn't help but retreat.

"Hmph~~ That's so daring!" Zhang Xiaoguang glanced at everyone with contempt, his nose snorted coldly, and with the words, the sharp knife in his hand slammed into his thigh, and hot blood splattered out instantly along the blood trough. Zhang Xiaoguang said slowly as if he was fine: "Is Boss Xie satisfied with this?" Do you want me to give you a three-cut, six-hole? ”

Boss Xie was frightened by Zhang Xiaoguang's ferocity and took a few steps back, his face turned from red to white, and he secretly said in his heart: "This guy is cruel, it's not worth selling his life for Xie Jiayi, it's better to pay back the money", thinking of this, Boss Xie hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang, it's Xie who has a bad memory, I think about it now, I just received a payment for the goods in this business, this one hundred and twenty should be there, you wait a minute, I'll take it", said and hurriedly turned around and went to get the copper.
