The changes in the Xishan Mountains of Chongqing Mansion spread all over Shuzhou in a short period of time.

It also spread to all parts of Ningguo through the Shuzhou Ancient Road or the Yangtze River shipping.

This is certainly earth-shattering news!

This news is as important as the death of the emperor!

After all, there is no emperor in today's Ning Kingdom, and the regent is acting as the emperor!

His weight is no different from that of the emperor!

What's more, the five-year plan he drew up for Ning Guo when he was alive has now been carried out in the entire Jiangnan Province.

Although the time has not yet been achieved much, the businessmen of Gangnam Province have already felt the great changes that this new policy will bring to them, although the time has not yet been achieved much.

Merchants in Gangnam Province have come alive.

Because they are already keenly aware of the business opportunities of this new deal.

Gangnam Provincial Government.

Pingjiang City.

Su's house.

Su Zi, the head of the Su family, is a Mingtang.

He was sitting in the waterside in the back garden, silently boiling a pot of tea.

Sitting across from him was an old man dressed in good clothes.

He is Fan Changrong, the patriarch of the Jiangnan Fan clan, and his family also opened a silk village.

At this moment, Fan Changrong sighed leisurely, looked at Su Zi, and said, "Cousin Ming, it seems that the matter in Shuzhou has indeed come true. ”

"In the past few days, some words have been circulated among the merchants of our Jiangnan Province."

"When I came to visit today, I just wanted to ask Cousin Ming, the workshop we built together...... Is it to stop for a while and see if there will be any changes in the imperial court next? ”

Su Zi poured Fan Changrong a cup of tea and handed it over.

The regent died in Xishan, Shuzhou, and the merchants of Jiangnan Province were worried about whether the new policies he left behind would be revived because of his departure.

This is normal.

In all dynasties, not only when there is a change of dynasty, there will be a change in the national policy, even if it is the same dynasty, the change of imperial power is also very likely to cause a change in the national policy.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier.

Once the son of heaven is a new deal.

The Lord Regent was determined to boost commerce and industry, which was a great benefit to artisans and merchants.

For agriculture, it is not obvious that there is much benefit on the surface.

But the peasant is the thing that all emperors attach the most importance to.

Although the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, he is already on his way back to Kyoto.

After he ascends the throne, how likely is it that he will focus his national policy on agriculture again?

No one could have predicted.

Su Zi was also worried.

After all, it is real money that is invested, and once the national policy changes, if it is not done well, it will be lost.

Fan Changrong's worries are not unreasonable.

"The eldest son of the emperor is Xiao Wu...... His name is now Ning Zhinian. ”

"As far as the old man knows, Xiao Wu and the regent are like brothers, maybe after he ascends the throne as the emperor, he will not change the national policy set by the regent."

Fan Changrong's eyebrows were still worried.

"Cousin Ming, but we don't dare to gamble!"

"Qingxi Workshop, the silver invested according to the plan is a million taels!"

"In order to provide raw materials for the Qingxi workshop, we have also contracted many farmers to plant mulberry and raise silkworms...... The spring silkworms are about to form cocoons, which requires a huge amount of silver. ”

"In case the new emperor wants to suppress business after he ascends the throne, in case he returns to his previous appearance, cousin Ming ......"

Fan Changrong leaned over, knocked lightly on the table, and said in a low voice: "Let's toss, if we don't get it right, we won't be able to recover!" ”

"After all, the emperor is called a lonely widow, and he didn't know that he was the eldest son of the emperor before, and he and the regent are brothers, which is very good for him."

"Now that the regent is dead, he also knows that he is the eldest son of the emperor, and he also knows that he will become the emperor of Ningguo when he returns to Kyoto!"

"Although he is deaf and dumb, the emperor is the emperor!"

"He can't say nine tripods, he can also make nine tripods!"

"You say, at this time, will he still think about the brotherly relationship between him and the regent?"

"Besides, the eldest son of the emperor is not really well educated, how many good opinions can he have about national policies?"

"On the contrary, the old man is worried that he has tasted the sweetness of power, so he is stubborn and self-serving, and he will give the officials of Wen Shoufu and others, and then come up with a self-righteous policy that will bring disaster to the country and the people......"

"Cousin Ming, at that time, it's too late for us to pull out."

"Although you will lose some silver now, it is better than returning with nothing, right?"

Su Zi took a sip of the teacup, "That's it, wait a little longer." ”

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for the old man to write a letter to Lord Wang Zheng Jinzhong, and also send a letter to Yi'an to ask...... In addition, the old man went to visit Master Huo of Jiangnan Weaving, as well as Lord Chen Fangchen of Daotai in Jiangnan Province. ”

Su Zi put down the teacup and stroked his long beard, "The old man is thinking, since this emperor's eldest son is supported by Zhongli Mansion...... Zhongli Mansion already has a lot of business in his hands, and the regent should have been Zhongli Mansion's uncle. ”

"Maybe Zhongli Mansion has some agreement with this emperor's eldest son."

"In addition, Wen Shoufu and the others were all promoted by the regent, and now they have control over the entire court. The new emperor was born in the grass, and he has no foundation. ”

"Wen Shoufu and others are supporters of the new policy of the regent......"

"If the new emperor wants to overturn the new policy set by the regent, I'm afraid it will not be easy!"

Fan Changrong pondered for a moment and nodded, "Cousin Ming's words are reasonable!" ”

"That'...... Cousin Ming has news and will tell the old man. ”

"Well, the construction of the Qingxi workshop cannot be stopped, and the recruitment cannot be stopped, especially the recruitment of craftsmen...... If the loom can be successfully transformed before it is put into production, you and I may be able to usher in an excellent opportunity! ”

Fan Changrong got up, "Then the old man will do it, say goodbye!" ”

Su Zi got up and sent him off, "Well, I'll let you know if I have the news!" ”

Fan Changrong bowed and turned to leave.

Su Zi watched his back disappear, walked out of the water pavilion, and stood by the fence to look at the lotus flowers in the pond.

In his eyes, after all, there was some worry that could not be hidden.

There are not a few people like Fan Changrong who are so worried.

It's not just businessmen.

Today, many prefectural officials sent from Kyoto are worried.

Although he was worried, the new emperor had not yet returned to Beijing to ascend the throne and become emperor, and no new documents had come from the three provinces, so everything was still implemented as before.

It's just that there is more apprehension in their hearts, and they are all quietly watching.

They are waiting.

Wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne, and then see if there will be new changes in the policy.

Unchanged, of course, is the best.

If it changes again......

Kyoto.

Palace.

The House of Parliament.

Wen Zhuan Yu held a meeting of officials above the third grade here.

"The martyrdom of the regent is a huge loss for the Ning Kingdom!"

"The dead are gone, and we must not lose hope because of this!"

"The eldest son of the emperor is on his way back to Beijing, and everyone must already know who the eldest son of the emperor is."

"What I'm going to tell you is...... The regent's national policy will definitely not change anything! ”

"What I'm waiting to do now is not wait and see!"

"Instead, he continued to be more diligent and conscientious on the path that the Lord Regent had blazed...... Overcome obstacles and move forward! ”

He paused for a moment, and then said very seriously:

"The general trend is unstoppable!"

"No one can stop it!"
