The Wei family rolled up and ran away, and the Red Gang successfully settled down in Lan County, but Zhang Yaowu and Li Fengcheng knew in their hearts that now was not the time to spread their branches, they had to consolidate their territory first, and only when they really stood firm could they slowly expand outward, and for the time being, they were not qualified to challenge a behemoth like the Eight Families.

Guan Ruozhi is the proprietress on the surface, and the banner she played is the Guan family, not the Wei family, which means that she has officially broken with the Wei family, and it is all to the point of death, and she will have a dime relationship with the Wei family if she is stupid. Of course, de jure, she is still Mrs. Weisan, who died of her husband, which is a fact that cannot be changed.

With the strong support of the Red Gang, Guan Ruozhi, who has abundant funds, showed her business talent, cooperated with some small and medium-sized businesses, and swallowed up the small merchants of the scum little by little, making the business of the Guan family bigger and bigger, and won the praise of the shopping mall girl Zhuge . But who would have thought that strong women in the business world are just super white-collar workers who work for the Son of Heaven.

Liaodong's business is the most profitable, but the risk is also big, and it is monopolized by the eight families, the weak can only make a small fuss, and they can't even drink the soup, the arrival of the Red Gang gives them an extra way to make money, of course, these weak people raise their hands to welcome, but, then again, businessmen are profit-seeking, only silver in their eyes, and they dare to do illegal things, but if they want to fight with the eight families, the cliff is scared to pee, and they immediately counter the water to check the ruo eyelashes and the Red Gang sold.

Therefore, it seems that the two sides cooperate closely and make a lot of money happily together, but they are both included in the blacklist of Li Fengcheng and Zhang Yaowu, and the two carefully manage the Lanxian forces, and infiltrate and develop into the nearby state capital and county little by little.

When the news reached Zhu Jian's hands, even though he knew that Ti Ruoxi, Li Fengcheng and others would not have any big trouble on this trip, and the probability of success was close to 100%, he was still quite happy, the first step of the plan to take root in Shanxi was completed, and the next thing was to depend on the ability of Zhang Yaowu and Li Fengcheng.

What surprised him a little was that he also received Guan Ruoxi's handwritten letter, the content was not complicated or profound, that is, some interesting things happened in Shanxi, and some of her daily work and life were ordinary, naturally like a friend chatting.

Zhu Jian wrote a reply, also in the tone of a friend, talking about some interesting things that happened in Jingshi, and also brought her some local products of Jingshi, and finally said it politely, thanking her for helping to take care of the business over there and so on.

In the secret letters of Li Fengcheng and Zhang Yaowu and the hidden Jinyi Wei secret spy, some of Guan Ruoxi's actions were mentioned, including her business ability, etc., which was requested by Zhu Jian, which can be regarded as a test for Guan Ruoxi, to see if she is qualified to join the imperial party and become a real person.

Zhu Jian was too busy, and soon forgot about Guan Ruozhi after the letter was sent, and what he was most concerned about now was still the situation in Shaanxi, the 36th battalion of the people's army was defeated and scattered and fled, or escaped into the deep mountains and old forests to hide and sting, or ran to the mountains to be the king of the mountain who robbed the house, Sun Chuanting, Cao Wenzhao, and Lu Xiangsheng's three-way army launched a dragnet search and arrest, searching for Wang Jiayin, Gao Yingxiang and other leaders of the people's army, and by the way, the kings of all the mountains entrenched in the mountains were destroyed, and the situation was under control.

Because of his butterfly wings, Shaanxi was not beaten to pieces like the original history, and the Ming Dynasty still had hope of holding on, which was a good thing, and it also increased Zhu Jian's confidence, however, the drought in various places was still serious, and seeing that it had entered the golden autumn and October, many places still had no harvest, and there were more and more victims.

Zhu Jian had no choice but to issue an order to allocate silver and grain for disaster relief, to replace work for relief, to resettle the victims, and to continue to increase the construction of water conservancy and other road projects, and at the same time to send ministers to supervise, and to send a large number of Jinyiwei and Dongchang secret spies to cross-supervise, found that the officials who dared to be corrupt, directly got rid of them, and severely punished them, to a certain extent, controlled the disaster relief money and grain to be greedy, but he was also saddled with the infamy of killing.

Zhu Jiancai doesn't care about these infamy, in addition to being ruthless to the Wei Party once, Chongzhen in history is soft-hearted in other aspects, and even the suppression of the people's army is mainly based on appeasement, and he has been deceived by the leaders of the people's army again and again.

The Ming treasury was empty, if he hadn't gone off the railroad to save the country, the treasury would have been dragged down, and the Ming army guarding the border was short of clothing, food and wages.

Seeing his small treasury being transferred a sum of money, the amount became smaller and smaller, Zhu Jian was very painful, but there was no way, it was all life-saving money, and he had to pay with tears when he picked the door, and the only thing that was comforted was that the planted potatoes were growing gratifyingly, if nothing else, it should be regarded as a bumper harvest, indicating that the experiment was successful.

It's a pity that there are too few potatoes, and even if there is a bumper harvest, there are not many, and he has to continue to plant, and only when he reaches a certain number can he dare to distribute them to the whole country and let the people plant them, otherwise let alone planting, it is estimated that he will be used by the hungry and panicked victims to fill his stomach.

Zhu Jian's harem in addition to Queen Zhou, only Tian Guifei and Lu Hongniang, plus a large palace layoff, vacated N more palaces, some palaces have small gardens, under his orders, these small gardens have been transformed into experimental fields for planting potatoes, the palace has launched a vigorous potato planting movement, and the palace maids and eunuchs have also set off an upsurge of learning agricultural farming.

Slow, still too slow, Zhu Jian, who was a little anxious, sent someone to Fujian to ask when the potato purchasing officer Li Zhitong and the foreigners' merchant ships would come back, this back and forth would take more than N time, no matter how anxious he was, he could only wait patiently.

During this period, Qin Tianjian calculated that the solar eclipse was inaccurate, and Zhu Jian remembered this stubble, and Xu Guangqi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, presided over the beginning of the calendar.

Xu Guangqi was a famous scientist and politician in the late Ming Dynasty, devoted his life to the study of mathematics, astronomy, calendar, water conservancy, etc., especially proficient in agriculture, translated "Geometric Original", "Qinxi Water Law", "Agricultural Administration Encyclopedia" and other books, and at the same time was also a pioneer in communicating Chinese and Western cultures.

After the holy decree, Zhu Jian regretted it again, such a cow man used to compile a calendar, and the inaccuracy of the solar eclipse could be temporarily put on first, and water conservancy and cultivation were the most important things now.

One of Zhu Jian's advantages is that he can change his mistakes, and he immediately added a holy decree to appoint Xu Guangqi as the minister of the Qin Mission, and inspected the disaster situation in various places on behalf of the Son of Heaven with the sword of Shangfang, and was responsible for teaching and supervising the construction of water conservancy and other projects for the benefit of the people in the local area.

Of course, he did not deprive Xu Guangqi of the glory of compiling the new calendar and going down in history, but still let him hang a deputy position in the Editorial and Revision Bureau, leaving a place in the signature of the work, and appointing other officials to preside over the editing.

The result of the additional decree was that Xu Guangqi happily carried the sword of Shang Fang, who had the privilege of cutting first and then playing, to inspect the world, and Zhu Jian had another decree to change every day, with no hair on his mouth and a reputation for not doing things well, of course, most of the people who scolded him were from the Donglin Party.

After sending Xu Guangqi, the minister of the Qin Mission, away, Zhu Jian comfortably enjoyed Tian Guifei's massage, thinking about things in his mind, what else happened in October of the original history?
