Chapter 163: Departure
"Speaking of which, the reason why we want to go north is not only to expand our power, but also to solve the economic problems on Iwakura's side. Wu Feng smiled bitterly: "I can't sell all the antiques left by my father, if he comes back, he will make trouble for me." ”
In Wu Feng's eyes, the value of famous objects is not only the value of collection, but also the value of use. And his style of using strategies is also very distinct, that is, throwing money.
However, during this time, he dealt with Yuan Shu and framed the Heavenly Family, and he had already consumed a lot of the good things left by his father. The most precious things are the things that my father cherishes and must never be sold.
"Economic problems?" Yun Hailan wondered: "You have a territory and can receive money and food every month, how can you have economic problems?"
"Reform costs money. Wu Feng said: "The territory is getting bigger and bigger, and if you want to transform the economy and generate income for the people, you have to invest funds, but the funds will not be recovered for a while." For example, if you let the people grow apples, it will be rewarded after two or three years, and before that, the people will not only be unable to pay taxes, but also lack a source of livelihood, and even the cost of living needs to be subsidized by me. As for hiring a professional technician to impart knowledge, buying high-quality seeds, etc., each of them is a lot of investment. ”
Hearing this, Yun Hailan nodded, and said: "The changes in history are generally to raise taxes on most of the people to obtain funds, carry out economic transformation in the pilot areas, and so extend to all territories. But your territory is too small to do that. As a foreigner, you lack a foundation, and it is not easy to raise taxes, and the reason why you implement reforms in the territory is to ask for the hearts of the people......"
After all, she has done practical things with the prince of Great Wei, and her vision is still much stronger than that of ordinary young ladies of the family, and she can see the benefits at a glance.
Wu Feng said: "When you leave the Valley of Forgotten Worries, although there is not much money in the space bag, you should actually swallow some of it. At that time, I didn't expect that there would be such a huge expense as reforming the territory, so I only packed my own things and gave the rest to Deng Aihou. After all, I think Iwakura Hall is in my pocket, and sooner or later I will get it back with interest...... he sighed: "At that time, it was still too thoughtless, and it was not a short time to recover this investment in Iwakura." ”
Wu Feng's style of doing things is magnificent. didn't like to be careful, which led him to directly make the decision to give all the treasures accumulated in the Valley of Forgotten Worries for hundreds of years to Deng Aihou.
Yun Hailan comforted: "No matter how good a wise man is, it is impossible to count everything. Besides, you were emotionally unstable and didn't think it through, but you don't need to blame yourself. ”
Wu Feng said: "Yes." That's already the case. Then get the permit as soon as possible and go back to Hedong to make money. Relying on the gold and silver rewarded to me by Deng Aihou and the sale of some antiques, there was no problem in continuing to operate for more than half a year, and after more than half a year, I had already opened up the situation in Hedong anyway. ”
There is no one more wealthy than the merchants, and the reason why the Valley of Forgotten Worries is rich is because it has a tight business network and has established extensive contacts with merchants. For example, the Sea Tiger Chamber of Commerce asked Xiao Yangge to send Wu Feng to exterminate the wolf thieves, which reflected the protection of the Valley of Forgotten Worries for the large and small chambers of commerce.
Within the Iwakura Territory. All chambers of commerce are the forbidden territory of the Deng family of the Iwakura Palace, and the wealthy families of hundreds or thousands of years may still have a chance to get a piece of the pie, and a new lord like Wu Feng is absolutely impossible.
"So...... Let's go to Nakyikyo. Wu Feng said.
Yun Hailan was suddenly startled: "Now...... Now?"
Although Wu Feng had already agreed to her and accompanied her to see the ruins of Luoyijing, she only thought that Wu Feng was still just coming to chat with her today, and she didn't react for a while.
"Yes, I have already asked the hall master for leave, and he didn't ask much. Wu Feng said: "Deng Aihou, who prides himself on loving talents, will certainly not be the same as the owner of the shop to manage the apprentice. After going out for an hour or two, you have to explain it clearly. Now, it's up to me to keep my promise. ”
Wu Feng has always been resolute in his work, and he does not drag his feet. The last time they met, Wu Feng made an appointment with Yun Hailan. I accompanied her in a few days, and I had already taken care of my leave this time.
Yun Hailan's heart was hot, and her beautiful eyes flashed: "Okay, let's go now." ”
She opened the white jade coffin on the bed, lay down in it, and closed the coffin lid. The white jade coffin bloomed with white light. Shrink in an instant.
Wu Feng hid the jade coffin around his waist and went out.
From Iwakura Castle to the ruins of Rakuikyo, it is about 500 miles. However, since this area is all mountainous, the actual distance is much more than that, and the heavy snow covers the mountains, if it is an army, even if it is an elite samurai, it will take more than three days.
Although the speed of elite samurai is not too much that of Maxima, horses can maintain a high running speed for a long time, but people do not have such stamina.
However, Wu Feng has now cultivated to the Dual Heaven of Blood Exchange, and his extreme speed and endurance are not comparable to ordinary warriors. If he runs at full speed, even if he counts the time to eat dry food on the road to replenish his strength, he will definitely be able to reach his destination tomorrow daytime.
Yun Hailan has recently recovered some of her cultivation, and when she rests, she can completely close the six senses and not be affected by turbulence.
It's just that Yun Hailan can't see the sun, so Wu Feng has to control his speed to ensure that he arrives tomorrow night.
After Wu Feng attacked and destroyed Bodhi Green Leaf Village, Shi Xinqing had already ordered someone to draw a portrait of Wu Feng and post it everywhere in his sphere of influence, ordering the patrol team to kill him immediately as soon as he found him. And Wu Feng was born in the Valley of Forgotten Worries of the Shentang Tribe, and it was just a matter of eliminating the bandits, and he really didn't want to kill the regular warriors of the Shentang, so he first put on a big felt hat to cover his face, put on a coarse linen robe, carried a package, dressed as the most common traveler, left Iwakura Castle, and headed towards the ruins of Luoyi Jing.
Along the road, the mountains were covered with snow, the trees were frozen and flowered, and when Wu Feng was traveling, there was a deep snow mark on his foot.
If Wu Feng runs light power with all his might, he can indeed step on the snow without a trace. However, stepping on the snow without a trace is used when evading the pursuit and fighting, compared to walking on the snow is much more physically demanding, the real master can fly in the air, and will never rely on this light exercise method to hurry, who is simply a fool if he uses the method of stepping on the snow without a trace on the snow.
Climbing over the towering Kunshan Mountain Range and bypassing Shi Xinqing's base of Michi City, Wu Feng entered the relatively flat Sanchuan River Valley. On the way, he also encountered one or two patrol samurai teams from the shrine, but none of them noticed Wu Feng.
The Sanchuan River Valley is a river valley plain formed by the impact of the three tributaries of the Yellow River, the Jianhe, the Luohe River and the Yishui River, in the mountains, with fertile soil suitable for farming. Some people regard the Luo River, Yishui, and the Yellow River as the three rivers, but if this is the case, the Sanchuan River Valley should span both sides of the Yellow River, so it is wrong.
Luoyi Jing is located in the confluence of the Jianhe River and the Luohe River, because it has the advantages of the fertile and wide plains in the Yuzhou area, and the danger of the embrace of the mountains, it gradually surpassed Chang'an, became the first city in the mainland, and successively served as the capital of the ancient Zhou, the Han Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty and the Great Wei, and has a history of thousands of years, if you count the legends of the ancient times, it can almost be said that it is nearly 10,000 years. It can be described as "Yonghuai River Luojian, Huanghuang ancestral industry".
In the long history, Luo Yijing has not been subjected to war, and has been set on fire, but no one has ever done it as well as Yang Qi. Yang Qi not only ordered the killing of more than one million residents inside and outside the city, but also assigned 100 detachments to light fires everywhere, so that the city was completely turned into a sea of fire, and finally not only demolished the city wall and the palace wall of the palace in the city, but also destroyed the dragon veins and spiritual roots underground, so that Luoyi Jing could no longer gather royal energy.
Since ancient times, there have been many people who have slaughtered cities, but there are still very few chickens and dogs that do not stay, let alone such a giant city that has been prosperous for thousands of years. Even if the Demon Gate slaughtered the city when it entered the Central Plains, it would generally leave one-third to one-tenth of the population every time, such as Yang Qi, who was indeed mad to the extreme.
With Yang Qi's peerless luck and the emerging momentum of the Holy King Dao Sect, he failed to completely seize the territory of the Great Wei after destroying the Great Wei, and was driven back by the Great Qi Dynasty supported by a loose alliance of old Taoist sects such as the Quanzhen Sect, the Immortal Dao Sect, the Black Mountain Sect, and the Danding Sect, and only inherited one-third of the land of the Great Wei, and it also needed to unite the martial arts sects such as Shentang, Tianzi Peak, and Hades to maintain its rule. This is precisely because Yang Qi killed too heavily and lost the hearts of the people. (To be continued.) )
