After burning the nameless canyon and sniping Qin Lin, Ye Xingyuan went to the court to plead guilty, but unceremoniously took over the management and disposal of the neighboring county. In the past two months, there has been chaos in the northwest, and the imperial court can't control it at all, Qin Lin is dead, and he has not sent a successor magistrate.

In this vacancy, Ye Xingyuan followed the model of Pingchuan County, used Zou Hai to subdue the displaced people in Jinshan County, and threw them according to the previous law, some of the young and strong went out, and a few stayed to train and practice, and the old and weak women and children worked in the farm.

It worked, and although the first year was hard, it barely survived the winter. The occasional relief from the imperial court, the small harvest during the autumn harvest, and the small amount of grain brought back by the men made the two counties much better than the neighboring counties.

Although it is still impossible to avoid someone dying of cold and starvation, Ye Xingyuan has already done his best, and when the county people mention him, who is not happy and convincing to call "Lord Qingtian".

The drought was still in place the next year, and when the spring was sown, Ye Xingyuan still let people go out. However, this time there are slightly more young people left, on the one hand, to prevent chaos in the surrounding area, and on the other hand, to carry out some small but feasible irrigation and water conservancy projects.

Seeing that the two counties of Pingchuan and Jinshan were relatively peaceful, and all the local officials in the surrounding counties who still had some control came to learn from them, Ye Xingyuan's way of dealing with the displaced people gradually became imitated by some people and spread in the northwest.

In the past two or three years, the civil affairs have gradually subsided, and although the turmoil is still there, most of the core of the county has restored public order. Because of this, Ye Xingyuan was promoted in the line of fire and promoted steadily.

Ye Xingyuan knew that the current method of dealing with the displaced people was only a symptom rather than a cure, and he tried his best to maintain a balance like walking a tightrope, but as long as there was another relatively large disaster, the already fragile relationship between the government and the people and the trust that had been initially established would collapse.

Since he is in charge of a land, he has many more means of acting, especially in the northwest, although it is barren. Mineral deposits are abundant. Ye Xingyuan made a bold move, leaving a group of young people to explore new mines, confiscate private small mines, and connect them together.

The official came forward and opened a big mine. Recruit miners, strictly control food and housing, and then use the windfall profits from mining to buy grain from the south on a large scale and hoard. In this process, Ye Xingyuan also had to admit that he had become a rather cruel capitalist, and the miners could only maintain the lowest level of food and clothing, but they had to carry out long-term, high-intensity and high-risk labor.

But there is no way, Ye Xingyuan knows that time is not waiting, and the only industry in the northwest that can digest, absorb and feed so many landless farmers is mining. In the absence of mechanical excavation and modern mining methods, it can only rely on huge amounts of manpower.

Even if the harvest is all used to purchase grain from the south, in the face of the coming troubled times, Ye Xingyuan is still worried that he will not be enough.

Of course, this trick was also learned by the surrounding magistrates, but unfortunately they did not have Ye Xingyuan's salvation heart or this kind of awareness, and the opening of the mine was nothing more than to make money for private purposes, and the methods were harsh, and it was extremely ruthless to the miners.

Not a few years. Displaced riots have decreased, but miners' revolts have increased. The contradictions are extremely intensified. This is mainly because of the rest of the local officials who open mines, how can Ye Xingyuan have the mentality of hoarding grain desperately, in a famine year, the miners can't even drink hot noodle soup, and they have to go to the mine for more than ten hours, where can anyone stand it?

Rebelled angrily. The killing of the mine supervisor and the revelation of the rod happened from time to time, and only the land under Ye Xingyuan's rule survived. Some people who didn't want to fall into the grass came to run one after another, so that in this year of famine, Dingkou under Ye Xingyuan's rule had an abnormal growth.

At this time, the imperial court naturally did not hesitate to reward him, and Ye Xingyuan was promoted to three levels in a row. It was like being promoted like a rocket, and within a year of its establishment, he became the governor of a province, and later he was the governor of the northwest, with full authority to manage the three provinces.

At this time, Ye Xingyuan also began to feel surprised, according to common sense, how can the deduction illusion of the policy examination take so long? Theoretically, governing a county is already the limit, after all, Xiucai's knowledge is limited, and it is rare to be able to deal with local practice from a small point to a big one.

The cosmic blade sword at his waist buzzed, as if to praise the whimsical idea. Ye Xingyuan was very sober, in the final analysis, this was just a policy test for the provincial examination, and he could never do such a rebellious thing.

Could it be that the final strategy is to develop one's own strength, slowly farm the land, and then push the world flat? Even if this thing is written out, even if it really has an excellent effect on the stratocratic people, do you think any examiner dares to pass the test for him? If he does not directly take his fame and expelle him from the examination room, it can already be regarded as caring for the backwards, and if he encounters a more serious one, he will have to be punished for the crime of harboring grievances and plotting against him.

The rebellion can't be done, Ye Xingyuan is sincere, since he is in power, he only thinks about how to perfect the governance of the flow of people. The three northwestern provinces have a booming mining industry, absorbing most of the young and strong, as long as the mining industry does not collapse, the northwest will not collapse.

It's just that now Ye Xingyuan is looking at the whole country, and he knows that the fall of the Great Qian Dynasty is a combination of many factors, although the outbreak point is in the northwest of the displaced people, but other places are also in danger. The northwest is temporarily contained, and the contradictions in other places are even more prominent, once chaos breaks out, it is difficult to purchase food, and Ye Xingyuan's fragile industrial system will also collapse, and he will not be able to stop the riots at that time.

Under this premise, Ye Xingyuan did not dare to slack off, on the one hand, he continued to develop the mining industry in the western region in a big way, but on the other hand, he had to collude with various interest groups non-stop to ensure the lifeline of the economy and food.

So Ye Xingyuan set up the wine-making, glass, and luxury goods industries, which were used to trade with the demon clans in the north, the local wealthy clans and maritime merchants in the south, and at the same time bribed the Beijing officials with a lot of money - he was originally a liberal arts student, and it was almost impossible for him to make these things in the real world, but in the illusion, as long as he had such a general idea, with the cooperation of master craftsmen, it would be easily realized.

Of course, the trade deficit alone is not enough to form a stable business system, Ye Xingyuan selflessly passed on silk weaving technology to the wealthy people in Jiangnan, and invented various textile machines to greatly improve the handicraft industry base in Jiangnan. In this way, under the situation that the mining industry in the northwest is gradually saturated, the healthy women who are young and strong and even idle in various places have another place to go, which greatly enhances the stability of society.

In fact, at the end of the Great Qian Dynasty, agriculture in the Northeast had begun to develop, after all, the demon clan had developed for many years, and they also needed to eat, and the spread of reclamation and sowing technology accelerated this process.

A few years later, although the Northeast failed to become a granary, but also became an important grain supplier to Ye Xingyuan, every year from Ye Xingyuan here to get a large amount of silver, wine and other luxury goods, the princes and nobles of the demon clan are drunk and arrogant, lascivious, and easy, and live better than the nobles in Beijing, and the thoughts of a few careerists have also faded, and unconsciously the contradictions in the Northeast have gradually calmed down.

Because of the increase in industrial products, the enthusiasm of maritime merchants has also been greatly enhanced, and hundreds of fleets in the south of the Yangtze River sail every month to the oceanic countries to sell tea, silk, porcelain, and all kinds of luxury goods, and buy precious stones, gold, silver, and other goods from abroad, and the profits can be calculated tenfold and hundredfold.

After that, because the barbarian small state was keen on the wealth of the Central Plains, pirates were everywhere, the southeast sea was not peaceful, the imperial court was ignorant, and the maritime merchants were in the background of the Jiangnan wealthy clans, where were they willing to follow, anyway, the emperor was far away, so they established a navy on the southeast islands to exterminate the pirates, and the atmosphere was clear.

One must have two, the navy was strong, and the navigation was greatly developed, and the caravans at sea reached farther continents and engaged in greater trade, which bordered on plunder and exploitation by virtue of the superiority of industrial products. Unconsciously, the overseas states gradually became the economic colonies of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Relying on the continuous blood transfusion of these colonies, although the Great Qian Dynasty had all kinds of internal and external troubles, just like a candle in the wind, it still maintained strangely, and waited until 20 years after the original demise, it was still spreading joy, and there was no sign of extinction.

After another 30 years, although the northwest and the south of the Yangtze River operated their own businesses like iron through the country, and gradually did not obey the orders of the imperial court, after all, they were still nominally subordinate to the imperial family, and the Great Qian Dynasty was still continuing.

Although the country cannot be said to be a country and a country with peace and security, major disasters and small disasters are still continuing, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the struggle is endless, but it has swept away the obsolescence of the old era, and there is a new era of atmosphere.

Ye Xingyuan is close to the age of ancient times, the title of Taishi, Guogong, give nine tin, praise and worship is not named, enter the dynasty does not tend, the sword is on the palace, and the rest of the rewards are countless, it can be said that there is no seal, and there is no reward.

If it was in the past, this kind of guy with high merit should have been cooked by rabbits and dogs a long time ago. But more than ten years ago, Ye Xingyuan and the bigwigs of the DPRK and Jiangnan pushed the senatorial system, although it cannot be said that it completely curbs the imperial power, but for a person like him, at least there is a way to protect himself.

He sat in his study, watching the sunlight shine through the ice-streaked panes and dappled the ground. Unconsciously, a pillow of yellow sorghum, this life is so impermanent.

In the tribute courtyard, the sun is just deflected.

Most of the candidates have woken up from the illusion of deduction, either depressed or excited, and a strategy has been completed in a dream, and the examiner collects it, and the name is obscured first.

Only Ye Xingyuan still closed his eyes tightly, his head was slightly little by little, and he did not wake up from his deep sleep. The cyan mist around him was no longer there, but pure gold, haunting and spinning, solemn and majestic.

Wang Xuezheng looked at the sky and said expressionlessly: "The time is coming, and the examiners are ready to collect the papers." Those who do not complete the strategy should be counted as abstention. ”

Although he didn't glance at Ye Xingyuan, now that Ye Xingyuan was the only one in the Tribute Academy, he had not yet finished it, and the examiners could not guess that it was targeted. Someone on the side persuaded bitterly: "Now there is only one Ye Shengren who has not yet finished, only he is covered in gold and dazzling, and it must be an immortal strategy." Although it is delayed, but talents are rare, please think twice!" (To be continued......)
