The economic development zone was finally built. The new emperor Zhaoji, the funeral of the former emperor has not yet been completed, and an enthronement ceremony and a funeral of the former emperor have exhausted the savings of the treasury. Not to mention that the country is strong and prosperous, and it is thousands of miles away, and there is even more Hanhai blocking it, if you really want to go on an expedition to the country of Don't lose the country, you have to have an army of 500,000 to conquer, followed by more than 100,000 people, mules and horses who help the army transport, and if you fight down, you can not say whether you can destroy it, don't say that you can lose eight miles, the waste in the sea is light. As far as the family background of the court is concerned, this battle cannot be fought.

Yang Rong knew these things very well in his heart, and the letter was just a test or two. Fang Buli thought about these things clearly in a blink of an eye, all he was worried about was that before the economic development zone was built, it would be intervened by external forces and collapse halfway. Fortunately, it is not the time of Hongji Zhengtoku, when the cabinet is almost like the prime minister, and the civil official group is in the ascendant, as long as it does not provoke the noble family to do it, everything is easy to discuss.

However, this time it also sounded a wake-up call for Fang Buli, like Shaanxi, where there are few people, and the transportation is not very convenient, and there are too many eyes on the border with the barbarians, and the local forces are intertwined, and it is a little worse to make this place a fulcrum for leveraging new industries, which is far less suitable than Zhejiang. Because of this, the scale of the Shaanxi-Henan New Development Area is much smaller than it expected.

But even so, the high-ranking martial arts celebrities of the Huashan faction also felt the pressure brought by the economic development zone to the Huashan faction, or to themselves...

Huashan faction Chaoyang Peak in the Huairen Hall

The hall was gloomy, everyone had a bitter face, one hand was holding their chins, and the other hand was constantly tapping on the table, and the table was shaking, obviously these masters in the martial arts were full of thoughts, and they couldn't hold their strength, and they were about to tear down the table. Maybe not everyone, because at least Zhou Budo and Cui Bupo are calm and composed, and Zhou Budo is still drinking tea in Youzai.

"Senior brother, we can't be so silent anymore. Hu Bugui couldn't hold his breath and walked in front of Zhou Budo, "The tenants in the Zhuangzi in Tongguan left hundreds more yesterday, and now half of the Zhuangzi in Tongguan has no one to cultivate, and the wheat that grows is also short of manpower to harvest, if you wait for the frost to fall, this year's harvest will be blind." There is no harvest, not to mention what our Huashan faction eats, even this year's autumn grain can't be delivered. ”

Zhou Budo looked at Hu Bugui directly, as if he was in a large number of monsters, until Hu Bugui was a little hairy, and then he said: "Do you think I don't know? But what can be done? Lower the rent? In the past two years, the rent of our Huashan faction has been reduced again and again, and it is already the lowest in Shaanxi. If you have any wonderful ideas, tell me about it!" Zhou Budo slapped the table fiercely and scolded.

Hu Bugui said abruptly: "But... But we can't wait like this, let's sit and eat..."Seeing Zhou Budo staring at himself without saying a word, looking at Zhou Budo's eyes that were so cold that they could turn water into ice, Hu Bugui's voice became smaller and quieter the more he spoke, and in the end, he was almost inaudible, and he returned to his seat in a daze. But don't look at the obedience on his face, but he is very aggrieved in his heart, it is all for the Huashan faction, Zhou Budo said this, it is indeed too much.

"Senior Brother Hu, don't be in a hurry, Senior Brother has already had a countermeasure. Seeing that Zhou Budo was angry, Cui Bupo hurriedly came out to make peace, took out an account book, opened it and said to everyone page by page, "These mines, through bidding, have all been in our hands, and Senior Brother Cui has also opened a few workshops and shops in Tongguan." Now there are no fewer people who are begging for a living in the property under the name of our Huashan faction than before. The monthly income is much higher than before, which is enough to meet the two taxes this year. ”

"What's the use of having money? The two taxes of the imperial court are all grain, silk and linen. Hu Bugui was a little hesitant about this silver, and it was no wonder that the Ming Dynasty or since the Warring States Period, the Central Plains had implemented taxes in kind, and all the things collected were silk, grain, rice, cotton and linen, and spices, and there had never been a precedent for direct receipt of cash. Even if there is a lot of silver, what is the use? When the time comes, we will have to spend a lot of effort to buy and transport, and all the money will be out, and it will not be as cost-effective as before.

At this time, Zhou Budo, whose face was as silent as water, didn't know why, and a few smiles actually appeared on his face; "That's the old yellow calendar before, thank you for not leaving." Futai Yamen ordered that this autumn tax will not be collected in kind, only money. But that's right, isn't Fang Buli an economic development zone? Doesn't he want to grow and develop industries? If he still collects grain, oil, silk and linen, and other kinds of goods, how can he still grow and develop industries? How can he continue his development zone?"

"If you don't leave, you're not afraid... Aren't you afraid that our Huashan faction will take advantage of his east wind to grow stronger again? Grow to the point where he can't clean it up even if he is ruthless?" Hu Bugui couldn't believe that Fang Buli would leave such a big loophole for the Huashan faction to drill, and also let the Huashan faction gather so many people and establish such a big industry. It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, isn't he here to clean up Huashan?

"Economic development zone. If you want to carry out an industrial revolution in Shaanxi, can the Huashan faction get around?" Zhou Budo's eyes bent into a crescent moon with a smile, that's right, the reason why Yang Rong in the capital wrote that letter was because Zhou Budo was manipulating it behind him, and he asked people to buy off one of Yang Rong's Qingke and presented a piece of expression. Qingke got the silver, and he was valued by the master, and the Huashan faction got the contraction of Fang Buli, and he could still take advantage of this shareholder wind to develop, why not?

"Industrial Revolution, Revolution, Revolution... Don't... Could it be that this side is inseparable... Do you want to rebel? Senior brother, what a chance!" Hearing the word revolution, everyone suddenly became excited. Revolution, from the I Ching, the original sentence is the Tangwu Revolution, which conforms to the heavens and responds to the people. Since ancient times, the word revolution has been synonymous with rebellion. If Fang Buli gets involved with the rebellion... Hehe, how strong his holy grace was before, how sad the days after that. If you don't do it well, you can still pull Xue Liuzi, the leading figure in the Jing Nan Xun, into it, if you can really do this, it will be a great thing.

"What a rebellion. The Industrial Revolution refers to... (I won't lie the word count here, interested friends can Baidu by themselves, if you slept in middle school history class.) Zhou Budo explained for a long time, and finally let a group of chivalrous people of the Huashan School understand the mystery of the industrial revolution. By telling a few jokes about the use of economic means to bring down a country in later generations. After listening, everyone looked at Zhou Budo as if they were looking at God, they had never heard of these things, and what the senior brother in charge said was the Tao, which was really amazing,

At the same time, they were also afraid for a while, they didn't expect Fang Buli to be so powerful, if it weren't for Zhou Budo, Fang Buli would not waste a little strength, and he would not use swords and soldiers to turn the Huashan faction into a historical synonym.

Winter went to spring, and the first year of Hong Xi passed under the condition of the death of Hong Xi's son. In the new year, the yuan was changed to Xuande, and Zhu Zhanji, the most beloved grandson of Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, finally ushered in his own era. In other words, Fang Bu Jie finally ushered in his own era. Finally, it was time for him to show what he was capable of.

After more than half a year of construction, massive investment, and the original plan was infinitely compressed, Shaanxi's economic development zone was completed. Tens of thousands of workshops, nearly 1,000 shops. In the first year of Xuande, the governor of Shaanxi Yamen transported millions of silver taels to the capital, which was ten times and dozens of times more than in previous years. Xia Yuanji, the head of the household, happily closed his mouth, for so many years, it was the Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition, and the treasury was so empty that he could run a mouse. Now, after the New Deal, the household department finally has a surplus of food. In this way, Xia Yuanji's hair also lost a few strands,

It is precisely because of Xia Yuanji's support that the Shaanxi New Deal passed the court meeting, at least from the official point of view, no one can accuse Fang Buli of violating the ancestral system. When Fang Buli was glad for this, ready to show his strength, and clean up the "tumor" of the Huashan faction, he was transferred to Shaanxi, and Fang Buli... I'm back in Beijing. (To be continued.) )
