Chapter 376: Idle Days
"I heard that Lei Juetian was also attacked in the South Seas Alliance? How can this guy be as unlucky as me, it seems to be more injured than me, it seems that some people have done whatever it takes. Qin Duan smiled again and talked about another topic.
"Yes, sir, who do you think will do it?"
Song Tianxiong was also interested in this issue, and the media of the empire also reported the incident at great length.
"Well, it's hard to say, Lei Juetian, this guy is the same as me, there are too many people who have offended, it is not strange for anyone to attack him, but there are only a handful of people who can mobilize such a powerful force, Lin Lang and both families are possible, the possibility of the empire is not ruled out, and even the Milanese are also possible." Qin Duan couldn't see this either.
"However, it's good to kill the sharpness of the Maqi Khans, they are too prominent, with the containment of the Lin Lang family from the flanks, the life of the Maqi Khans may not be so good, the empire's methods this time are really extraordinary." Qin Duan easily saw through Gao Panlong's strategy.
When Qin Dui's body recovered and went to the court to thank him, the emperor's kind comfort made Qin Dui feel that it was a fantasy that he wanted to leave the imperial capital under normal circumstances, and he was given a one-year vacation plus a five-star medal, which might be a great gift for anyone, but Qin Dui knew that behind this, he didn't know how many people cheered and excited.
As the hustle and bustle of the festival gradually dissipated, Yi Qiē returned to normal, in fact, Qin Dui, who had been idle, seemed more idle than ever, and he soon became a frequent visitor to various places in the upper class of the imperial capital, except for strengthening his own security, he seemed to have no other actions, even if he occasionally went to the court, he was in a relationship with the officials, discussing that the dance or party in the evening would be attended by those beautiful women, and Yi Qiē became so calm.
The nobles of the imperial capital, who had a keen sense of smell, seemed to be aware of this change. The rumor that the Duke of Qin Du had lost power and that His Majesty the Emperor intended to let him enter the Advisory House for retirement was quietly circulating in the upper class society of the imperial capital.
The statement that His Majesty the emperor intended to marry the princess has long been gone, and the nobles who flocked to the door to propose marriage in the past have long been gone, in addition to continuing to participate in the daily social activities of the nobles in high society, Qin Duan seems to have been completely expelled from the center of power, and in just over a month, the situation has changed like this. But that doesn't mean everyone thinks the same way.
In the morning, at the invitation of some groups and individuals, such as going to Fenghua Poetry Garden to listen to the discussion of the students, going to the Imperial Academy of Calligraphy and Painting to see the masters splashing ink, going to the White Horse Temple and Baiyun Temple to lecture with Master Huineng and Xuanqing Immortal, life has become so colorful.
In the afternoon, take a leisurely nap, and then happily go to the main altar of the Aoba faction to talk about the pursuit of martial arts with the elders of the Aoba faction, and then go to Qingyue Xuan to taste tea and listen to the piano. Feel the life of a hermit, go to the Four Seas Club to drink coffee, play with women, how many noble ladies and ignorant girls who want to integrate into the upper class society are conquered by Qin Dui's demeanor here, and obediently lie under Qin Dui's body.
As for the nightlife at night, it is even more colorful, and the invitation of the nobles and merchants who take turns to be the east makes Qin Dusk feast almost every night, and after he is full of wine and food, he will linger in countless Fengyue places in the imperial capital. The women of various styles made Qin Duan seem to be completely intoxicated.
But this qiē does not seem to be the case, and history is both on track and stumbling in the direction of a loose horse.
The news coming from Kansai is worrying. Before the fifteenth was over, Gu Dengyun led the people from the northwest to return to the Kansai region, with the Gu family's original good foundation and Gu Dengyun's own outstanding ability, he and they quickly established a foothold in the Kansai region, and all kinds of intelligence in the Kansai region were continuously reported to Qin Dui, and the rapid development momentum of the Taiping Sect in the region made Qin Duan also staggered. Moreover, the rapid increase in their armed forces clearly has the shadow of foreign interference forces behind them, and perhaps there is more than one.
The situation reflected from the counties of Beiyuan, Yanyun and even Heshuo is not optimistic, and the power of the Taiping Sect in these counties has been deeply entrenched, especially in the two counties of Beiyuan and Yanyun, which are even more extraordinary, and their power has deeply penetrated into all strata. It has considerable influence and appeal in the two counties, which also makes Qin Duan feel a lot of pressure.
The news from the northwest is satisfactory, as the economy of the four counties in the northwest has entered a period of steady and rapid development, especially the two counties of Tokugawa and Northwest are even more gratifying. As the tax reduction and exemption policy promised in the early stage of construction has expired, this has not affected the investment enthusiasm of the businessmen, the warm reception of the local government, the stability and stability of local security, the abundant and cheap labor, the huge consumer market, the good geographical location, and the abundant product resources, which all attract profit-seeking businessmen. Due to the gradual expiration of tax reductions and loan maturities in the Tokugawa and Tokugawa prefectures, the finances of the two prefectures have rapidly improved and shown explosive growth, and the fiscal revenues of the two prefectures have reached a stage of high returns.
The economy of Meishan and Longdong counties is also growing rapidly, and the production of well salt in Meishan County has entered the stage of large-scale development, and businessmen with a large amount of capital have cooperated with the local government to expand the scale and began large-scale exploration, hoping to expand the scope of well salt production, and the number of vineyards in the south has also grown rapidly, and the production and quality of wine have jumped to a new level. The ceramic industry in Longdong County has become a pillar industry, and many foreign craftsmen have poured in, so that the quality of local ceramics has been continuously improved, and most of the products are exported to the central and western continents, earning rich income.
After receiving huge financial support from the empire, the economy also began to start, and the start of many basic projects absorbed a large number of surplus labor, and a large number of Gaoyue people began to move out of the Hengduan Mountains to settle in areas outside the mountainous areas, and also joined the team in the construction of Beiloulan. The Shuangdui City Plan has attracted the attention of all the local merchants, and the planned city is a large-scale and unique concept that has boosted the confidence of the locals, and the plan has also attracted a large number of immigrants from the neighboring kingdom of Ind'an.
Under the influence of these good news, the economic shape of the entire Northwest and North Loulan has shown a thriving scene. Liang Qiming also rarely agreed with Qin Duan's decision to form a mainstream division, and generously agreed to give a full division and regimental establishment, which surprised the military people, including Zhuge Inside, which has never happened before.
