While the dignitaries of all the countries and regions of the Eastern Continent, including the Tang River Empire, were paying attention to the rising prices with a worried attitude, Li Wufeng, as the western master of the empire, was happily lying in the garden of the county guard mansion in the city of Hanzhong Mansion and enjoying the most wonderful time of the day. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After lunch, Wu Feng lay on his back on an easy chair in the small pavilion paved with bluestone slabs and leisurely looked at the few newspapers sent today, which had become the best auxiliary rest activity for him during his lunch break, and the three newspapers "Imperial News", "Every Express", and "Northwest Star" had become an important channel for Wu Feng to understand the situation in the empire and his own territory. Although all kinds of intelligence information sent to him every day were piled up, even if they were sent to him after being screened by Qin Shuangying and Su Jie, the purpose was already dizzying, but he didn't like these things that were more important and reliable from the role and real surname, and the rigid style and boring writing made Wu Feng very dissatisfied with the guys in the intelligence department who were responsible for writing and sorting out this kind of intelligence compilation, but he also knew that this was not a scholar's literati poetry, and they all had a fixed format, so he was helpless.

So in his spare time, he prefers to look at all kinds of newspapers and magazines with a lively style and sharp words for stronger surnames, these media specially hired writers and reporters not only have a keen sense of smell, but also write concisely and thoughtfully, among which there are some people with unique vision and extraordinary knowledge, every time during the lunch break, Wu Feng likes to choose some newspapers and magazines as a spice for his rest, while reading the newspaper, he can sleep for a while when he is tired, this kind of busy life is Wu Feng's most cherished private time now, and he hates to be disturbed the most. In this case, unless something of great importance or someone of particular importance visits, the guards without a blade will come to disturb him.

Leaving behind "Imperial News" and "Every Express", Wu Feng casually picked up the "Northwest Star". There seems to be nothing new in these two news, and the vast majority of eyes are still focused on the food issue. Several major newspapers and periodicals in Yanjing have linked the reduction of output in the spring of this year's Xiaochun drought with the grain reserves and rising grain prices in the early stage of the northwest, and many media have begun to vaguely point out that the northwest is not actually carrying out grain reserves, but is engaged in grain speculation, but the northwest happens to bet on this treasure, and the evil deeds in the northwest have seriously affected the vital interests of the ordinary people of the empire, and as a vassal of the empire, they should bear the responsibility they should deal with and bear the corresponding obligation to stabilize grain prices.

The crazy growth of food prices and the huge pull effect brought about by the rise in food prices, edible oil, salt, medicinal materials, wine and other types of materials in short demand since they released these types of materials and food together as strategic materials to control the outflow, the price of the interior of the empire is even more vigorous, the price of edible oil and salt has broken through the highest price in the past ten years, and all kinds of medicinal materials have also climbed to the peak of the past five years. In particular, after the Northwest Military and Political Envoy issued an order in its own name to raise the tariffs on the circulation of strategic materials in transit, the prices of goods in the countries of Liberia also boiled like churning boiling water, and Wufeng even strictly ordered Cui Wenxiu to cooperate with the local tax inspection departments to strengthen the inspection of the border areas of the Western Regions and the Tengger region, and in Yinchuan, Taixuan, and Nanjieluo, Fielding also strengthened the inspection of various foreign ports and borders to severely crack down on smuggling activities. Thinking that his actions would inevitably further attract criticism from all forces within the empire, Wu Feng felt that his scalp was numb, but for the sake of his own plans, at this time, he couldn't take much care of it.

The front page of the "Northwest Star" was a report sent back by a reporter from other places, "The Improvement of the Status of the Tang Nationality in the Central Continent from the Popularity of the Tang Language", frowning, Wu Feng seemed to smell the unusual atmosphere behind this report. Wu Feng's eyes fell on the name of the author of this report, Tang Tu, it was this guy again, a top student in the journalism department of Imperial University, wandering around after graduation, it is said that he had also been to the territory of the Japanese people in the Western Continent and the Great Eastern Ocean, a fanatical national expansionist, but a guy with extremely negative incitement, this is Wu Feng's words to him. It is said that this guy used to be Hua Yumei's admirer in the Imperial University, maybe it was because of Yumei's coming to the northwest that he didn't leave, so he was regarded by the editor-in-chief of the "Northwest Star" as the top reporter of the "Northwest Star".

Needless to say, just by looking at the title, Wu Feng knew that this guy was really advocating the theory of westward expansion. Once upon a time, the merchants in the Northwest who gradually swelled their pockets gradually began to be unwilling to be confined to the narrow area of the Northwest, and their eyes have shifted from the six provinces in the Northwest to the farther Western Regions, Tengger, Northern Luzon, and when these regions were brought under the administration of the Northwest, the economic benefits brought by them stimulated the merchants of the Northwest to the fever of the Northwest, who were eager for more profits, and they wanted to focus more on the regions of the West where the markets were not fully developed, such as the Kingdom of Indean and the Duchy of Merry. They were salivated by the rich produce of the Indian Kingdom and the lucrative spices of the Duchy of Merry, and they hoped that they would be able to expand their influence deeper and farther into these regions, and use their influence to win them more business opportunities, as was already the case in Northern Luzon, the Western Regions and Tengger, and they hoped that the next target would be the Indian Kingdom. They have some supporters in both the political axe and the military, although they have not formed any interest groups, but perhaps the strong expansionist sentiment has made many important members of the military subconsciously form an alliance with them in public opinion, and their spokesperson is this Tang Tu, and even this Tang Tu has gone further than them.

This is Wufeng's conclusion after letting the security department investigate, they are not pawns sent by foreign forces to sabotage their eastward expansion plans, but their interests are more related to the West, the relatively complete and developed industrial and commercial system within the empire makes many of their goods not superior to others, while in the Middle Continent, many commodities can easily obtain a monopoly position, which prompts them to constantly lobby the political axe and the military, of course, the biggest target is naturally themselves.

From the phenomenon of Tang gradually replacing Lania as the second trading language in the business world and the rise of Tang language fever in the Indean region, from the Tang language of Northern Luzon replacing Tianfang as the first official language to the Tang language of the Western Regions becoming the official language with the same status as Tianfang, from the pride of the upper class of the Tengger steppe to the gradual increase in the number of Tang speakers in the Marston Wasteland, the northwest should not focus too much energy on the interior of the empire at present, but should seize the opportunity to shift the focus to the west and put more energy on the integration of politics, economy, culture and art with the Central Continent, using the strong economic strength and splendid culture and art of the Tang people to influence those areas that are still relatively backward in the Central Continent, so that they can bathe in the dawn of civilization as soon as possible and avoid being affected by the pagan culture from the Western Continent. The article also points out that sufficient attention should be paid to the religious invasion of the western continent into the east, and that in the central continent, a region where religious consciousness is not strong, if it does not take advantage of the opportunity, it will inevitably pay a heavy price in the future.

Even Wu Feng, who does not advocate westward expansion, cannot but admit that some of the ideas put forward by this guy in this report are quite novel and indeed convincing enough, which is very different from some of his previous articles with a clear attitude. In particular, in pointing out the expansion of the power of the Holy Spirit Sect in the Western Continent, he used many more detailed examples to illustrate, such as how many churches the Holy Spirit Sect had built in the Indean region and how many church schools had been built in the Principality of Merry, and so on. While he is blindly going all out to the east, he also needs to ensure that his dominant position in the existing Central Continent region, especially in many ideologies such as religion, culture and art, should be paid more attention to, and he seems to have been a little negligent in the past two years.

Although this guy's views are a little extreme, but he is quite enlightening to himself, the example of taking care of one or the other cannot happen to himself, this guy is right to seize the commanding heights of ideology is a clever move, especially under the guise of religion, if once the ideology from the Western Continent occupies the first opportunity, if he wants to regain this commanding height, maybe he really doesn't know how much more energy it will take. It may be time for you to prepare for a rainy day.

"A new round of land enclosure movement has been set off in the Western Regions, and vineyards have become the first choice of farmers", Wu Feng's eyes fell on another report in the "Northwest Star", with the title "The Challenges Faced by the Wine Industry in Guide from the Rapid Development of the Wine Industry in the Western Regions" In the past year, commercial funds from the south of the Yangtze River and Northwest China have poured into the countries of the Western Regions where the geographical environment and climatic conditions are quite suitable for planting high-quality grapes, and they have invested a lot of land to build vineyards, and began to build new winemaking workshops and wineries in several market towns where vineyards are more concentrated, preparing to use the good local light and irrigation conditions to vigorously develop the grape planting industry, so as to promote the rise of the winemaking industry in the Western Regions, and the transfer of the ordinary brewing base to the Western Regions, to promote the further upgrading of the German brewing industry, in order to achieve the purpose of ensuring its leading position.
