On the fifth day after Fang Buli's order to build an 'economic development zone' and set up a promotion bureau was sent to all prefectures, prefectures, and counties in Shaanxi, a letter from Beijing was placed on Fang Buli's desk. This letter directly made Fang Buli stupid, or rather, this letter hit Fang Buli's head like a stuffy stick.

The letter is very ordinary, the skin is ordinary kraft paper, the inner page is the rice paper produced in Xuancheng Jingcheng of Nanzhili, and the content written in the letter is also very ordinary, just some ordinary greetings, talk about some customs and customs of Shaanxi, and Sangzi people's livelihood and the like. But the person who wrote the letter was very unusual, and there were two words written at the sign-off, Yang Rong.

"Husband, what is written in the letterhead that Yang Rong gave you?" Fang Buli sat in front of the case, from day to night, and he didn't even eat. Xue Yu felt that something was wrong, she knew that Fang Buli had received Yang Rong's letter today, she was a little worried, and came to the study in person to take a look. Seeing that Fang Buli was still sitting motionless on the chair, she knew that there must be something on the letterhead that her husband didn't want to see. Xue Yu was a little worried, some of Fang Buli's recent actions seemed to have nothing to do with the Huashan faction on the surface, but Xue Yu faintly felt that these were sent to Huashan. As for why, I can't say, women's intuition.

Fang Buli loosened his stiff body, squeezed out a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying, and comforted his wife, "It's okay." Yang Rong just asked about the mountains, rivers, water and soil, people and products in Shaanxi. Merely... The development zone may have to change locations. Or even cancel it. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Xue Yu was a little anxious, she knew her husband's temperament, and she had to do what she wanted to do. Moreover, the establishment of the development zone was his first order in the field of people's livelihood and politics since he took office in Shaanxi, and the sudden change was greatly disadvantageous to his prestige in Shaanxi. Not to mention, in the past five days, how many nobles, officials, and businessmen have invested a huge amount of gold and silver in this. If Fang Buli suddenly changed his mind, then I am afraid it would not be as simple as a big disappointment of the people of Shaanxi.

"Yang Rong's old immortal must have received Zhou Budo's money. He asked me how many acres of land there was in Shaanxi, and whose hands were these lands, and what he said about the imminent autumn harvest, so that I must ensure the harvest of autumn grain, and also asked me if I could raise troops to destroy this remnant of Mengyuan. Fang Buli picked up the letter on the table and said bitterly.

"Isn't that a good thing? With the war, the army needs a huge amount of materials and grain, which happens to be able to activate Shaanxi's economy, why are you sad?" Xue Yu had some differences, took the letter and looked at it again and again, but did not find anything unusual.

"When did I tell the merchants about credit in the Ming Dynasty? Besides, when the army entered Shaanxi, it was bound to pass through Tongguan, and the soldiers were like grates, and after they left, there were no two people in the development zone. What else is being developed?" Fang Buli's face was full of helplessness, and he suddenly collapsed on the chair, smiling forcibly. However, this is also a good thing, the previous imperial court raised troops, and it was inevitable to levy the people to transfer materials, and the local squires and landlords also had to donate one or two. For a war of this scale, there are not a few donations from the people, which is enough for the Huashan faction to suffer from pain. When the time comes, let your nephew beat it again, and leave the rest to Zuo Lengchan. ”

"It doesn't matter to you," Xue Yu walked behind Fang Buli distressedly, slowly helped Fang Buli pinch his shoulder, and said while pinching, "I think the meaning of Yang Daxue is not very strong, I think there are other changes in the Jingshi?"

"Jingshi, hehehe, I think Yang Rong has accepted the silver of the Huashan faction, jealous of the virtuous, rejection of dissidents, corruption and bribery, this kind of person can also be a cabinet scholar, I think there is no hope for the Ming Dynasty!" Fang Buli was full of grief and indignation, and the more he spoke, the more he spoke, and he said everything that could be said and what could not be said. The anxious Xue Yu covered his mouth. "Silence! This can also be said? Beware of Jinyiwei!"

Fang Buli took away the jade hand that Xue Yu had covered on his mouth, and smiled miserably: "It's okay, on the roof, under the ground, around the study, there is no one." Even if they heard it, it would be fine, and I didn't know how many times I told the emperor in the young army, it was nothing. ”

"The Huashan faction has such a lot of energy, it is not difficult to give money to Yang Rong, but it is even more difficult to make Yang Rong ignore the interests of the imperial court. As soon as your development zone is built, the annual tax sent to the capital will increase by dozens of times compared to the past. What the imperial court lacked was silver, especially the war in Annam, which had not been pacified for many years, and surrendered and rebelled, and rebelled and surrendered. The amount of silver spent is like a sea of gold and silver, and the imperial court's Taicang is almost empty, and if there is an economic development zone, won't it be able to fill this loophole. Xue Rong was a little puzzled, if it was for the imperial court, then the economic development zone was more likely to continue, at least a letter was over, and Yang Rong would not object.

"Yes? If this economic development zone is to be built, it is necessary to implement a new policy, what is the new policy? The tax system, the official system, and the official system must be changed, and the new policy needs a large number of manpower, where do these people come from? Can they not come down from the countryside? My Ming dynasty does not go to the countryside, it depends on this group of rich people in the countryside, and the foundation has changed, and the court must also change. After the changes have come and gone, can Yang Rong and the others still be able to sit firmly in the position of the Pavilion Elder? If they don't have the position of the Pavilion Elder, what will they use to set up the world?" Fang Buli scratched his head, "What kind of immortal did you understand my plan of killing three birds with one stone so thoroughly? When did this capable person come out of the Jingshi? How come I have never met it?"

"According to what you say, could it be Zhou Budo? After all, your plan directly affects the foundation of the Huashan faction, and according to Zhou Budo's resourcefulness, it should be able to be seen. Xue Yu held his chin with one hand and frowned.

"Impossible, to see my plan, you must have many years of experience in controlling the overall situation, and have a full understanding of local officials, agriculture, industry, business, and even the underworld. Although Zhou Budo satisfied the latter item, he was just the head of a martial arts sect, how could he see through it?" Fang Buli said disdainfully. But at the same time, he said in his heart: "Unless he is like me, he is a traverser, but where is there such a coincidence in this world?" But according to the original book, the head of Huashan after the sword qi battle should be Ning Qinglin and then Yue Buqun, but now it has become Zhou Budo... He's a traverser, and it's not impossible. (To be continued.) )
