Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 56 Retrograde

Li Wufeng found himself getting more and more relaxed, almost all government affairs were handled by Xiao Tang in an orderly manner, and Ling Tian's talent in military management also made Wufeng feel like a redundant person.

Qingyang's economy is still booming, Jinzhou's construction is in full swing, Guide and Bonan's economy has embarked on the road of rapid development, and is changing with each passing day. However, the number of immigrants from abroad has increased significantly, and their quality has also been greatly improved compared with the previous year or two. Many skilled craftsmen, technicians, and scholars have come here especially to contribute to the economic development of the Northwest.

The military training campaign is in full swing, and many capable young people are directly promoted to the position of officers, which makes all the soldiers chase each other and work hard during the training.

Li Wufeng attaches great importance to education. He knows that education is not only the guarantee for the long-term prosperity of a regime, but also that although the rewards of education are longer, they are inexhaustible. and strengthen their dominion.

Under Wufeng's personal supervision, the Northwest Military Academy of the Empire and the Northwest University of the Empire completed preparations for the official opening of the school in only three months, and Wufeng personally served as the principal of the two schools. Under Wufeng's large amount of bribes, the Imperial Administration of Culture, Education and Health opened the door for convenience, and transferred a large number of experienced teachers from the Imperial University and Imperial Military Academy to teach in the branch. At the same time, Wufeng also promised to give the teachers who came to teach generously salary. In addition, Wufeng also sent people to various countries in the Western Continent to recruit a large number of scholars to serve as guest teachers at the two schools. More advanced management thinking and science and technology. At the same time, Wufeng also began to systematically train professional intelligence personnel in the school, laying the foundation for the expansion of his power in the future.

The first batch of 300 military and political students have entered the two schools and received formal and systematic training. Wufeng is also planning to gradually expand the scale of the two schools, gradually forming a recruitment system for the society and absorbing the elite of the people, so as to send more and better talents to the regime under his rule in the future.

The afterglow of the setting sun is quietly sprinkled on the top of the city. People who have worked all day have returned home and are busy lighting fires and cooking. Sighing in his heart, walking on the wide city wall, Li Wufeng, who was dressed in white casual clothes, looked thoughtful.

Several heavily armed personal guards followed at a distance of more than ten meters, while vigilantly observing the movement around them. Ten meters in front of Li Wufeng, Qin Shuangying and Yun Yi, also in plain clothes, were whispering and looking around, maintaining a high level of vigilance.

They all know that whenever the boss has important decisions to think about alone, he likes to find a quiet environment or a place with a wide view to walk and meditate.

The city walls are all made of square bluestones, and the surface is very smooth. At the beginning, a lot of manpower and material resources were spent on the construction of this city defense facility, but although it cannot be said to be done once and for all, it is impossible for foreign enemies to conquer Qingyang without paying a considerable price.

Standing on the city tower and looking west, the sunset has already set, but the clouds are like brocade, which is even more colorful. The endless plains are full of green spring, and a silver-white jade belt winds across, what a fertile land! Looking at the endless fields full of vitality, Li Wufeng couldn't look back for a long time.

"Senior Sister, look! He is staring outside in a daze again." Yun Yi, who was standing on the side, pursed her lips and smiled while quietly clinging to Qin Shuangying while talking.

"Don't talk nonsense! Maybe they are thinking about military affairs." Qin Shuangying also replied with a smile.

"Hmph, who knows what he's thinking? But looking at his dazed appearance at this moment, who would believe that he is Li Wufeng?" Yun Yi still had a blunt temper.

"Junior Sister, you are wrong in saying this. As the saying goes, people are not judged by their appearance, and sea water is not measured. Appearance does not mean anything, let alone his image can be regarded as majestic." Qin Shuangying hesitated.

"Senior sister, are you tempted? Well, your attitude is quite different from before." Yun Yi stared at her senior sister's face with a smile.

Qin Shuangying only felt that her face was a little hot, and she patted her junior sister vigorously: "Damn girl, let's talk about senior sister, I don't know who is obsessed with it all day long and even dreams about her?"

Senior sister's counterattack immediately made Yun Yi's face turn red in disbelief. Just as she was about to refute, Qin Shuangying continued: "However, the impression he gave us is indeed not what we imagined at the beginning."

"Huh, what's more, he smiles all day long and speaks glibly. How can he look like a powerful imperial official?" Although it was a complaint, there was no trace of blame in his tone, as if There are some elements of joy in it.

"Then he was just talking verbally, and he didn't do anything excessive to us." There was an unspeakable sense of loss in Qin Shuangying's words.

"Is it just verbal? Does he really have to do things to us, to see if I don't give him a good look!" Yun Yi's face was as red as the brilliant clouds in the sky, "However, I think he is With evil intentions, but no courage, just sister Guan and sister Hua will make him overwhelmed and go around."

"You son of a bitch, you really don't feel ashamed, as if you want him to steal you, you can even say something like a thief with a heart but no guts." Qin Shuangying laughed out loud with a "puchi" .

While the two daughters were teasing each other about their children's concerns, Li Wufeng was dazed looking at the field under the city wall more than ten meters away, Li Wufeng seemed to be in a daze, but in fact, his mind was thinking about major issues that would determine the entire situation in the Northwest.

Entering 694, the situation in the Northwest seems to be extremely stable, but behind this calm there is indeed an undercurrent that is unknown to ordinary people. The central government of the empire has tightened restrictions on the northwest, especially in terms of immigration, setting up many obstacles, and at the same time, it has also stepped up inspections of personnel entering the Central Plains from the northwest. The Western Military Region also carried out targeted large-scale military exercises in Longdong Prefecture, which is next to Northwest County in Kansai County, under the order of the military headquarters. The garrison at Zhegu Pass increased from one regiment to three elite regiments. The bandit claims to prevent small groups of bandits from sneaking into the Central Plains to cause chaos, but the bandits in the northwest have almost been wiped out. Even if there are remnants, it is impossible to directly conflict with the regular army of a regiment. There is no need to add two more The garrison of the regiment was obviously a ulterior motive, all of which made Wufeng feel the subtle changes in the internal situation of the empire.

On the contrary, Yinchuan Mansion and Taixuan Mansion seemed to be quite low-key. All the troops were shrunk back to the prefectures, and almost no military activities were seen. The army in Nuremberg, an important town in the south of Heathrow, has increased to 150,000 people. The two additional divisions did not return to their original bases after conducting the so-called routine border exercises, but were stationed at a distance less than 100,000 from Nuremberg. Thirty kilometers away from a market town. This point makes Wufeng deeply vigilant, but he may not be the one who is more disturbed.

In the northwest, intelligence personnel from various forces have significantly strengthened their activities in the four northwestern prefectures, especially the intelligence personnel from the Machihans and Xisluo people are more active. The Luzon people's activities were also quite abnormal, which caused a lot of headaches for the security department. They all used the diplomatic group stationed in Northwest County as a cover to move around and collect all necessary political, military and economic intelligence. In contrast, the newly formed Northwest Security Department seemed a bit unable to take care of it.

However, the economies of Qingyang and Jinzhou in the four northwestern prefectures have entered a period of stable and rapid development. A large number of businessmen have come to invest and set up factories in the two places. , Grain processing, logging, wood processing, medicinal material processing and other industries spread to all directions. Although the growth rate of the number of immigrants has slowed down, the quality has been greatly improved, so that the industrial economy, which is undergoing rapid development, has sufficient skilled workers. The rapid development of industry has also led to the rapid development of commerce, finance, and entertainment. Many well-known merchants from the empire and even the mainland have entered to seize the market. The prosperity of the city has far surpassed the level of two years ago.

Guide and Bonan also ushered in the best time for development. A large amount of funds from Jiangnan County and Wuhu County poured in, setting off a frenzy of industrial and commercial development in the two prefectures. It received more than 300 business representatives from Jiangnan and Wuhu areas who came to inspect. The rich resources, good social conditions and preferential policies of the two prefectures made many businessmen immediately decide to invest in mines and factories in the two places. The city also took this opportunity to attract a large number of immigrants from other places to settle down. Batches of high-quality well salt, wine, pottery, and porcelain have begun to be continuously shipped to the central and western continents through the northern mainland channel~IndoMTL.com~The huge returns have further stimulated the investment desire of businessmen.

Since the economic development in various places is better than expected, the financial situation of the four northwestern prefectures has been significantly improved. In particular, after Qingyang gradually resumed tax collection for all industries and businesses from the beginning of the year, the fiscal deficit has decreased rapidly. It is estimated that In the second half of the year, the financial balance will be achieved and the financial revenue of Jinzhou has leapt to a new level. In March alone, the tax revenue is as high as 400,000 imperial gold coins, which makes Xiao Tang, who is inspecting the financial work, overjoyed. However, the finances of the four northwestern prefectures are still struggling to make ends meet. The monthly salaries of nearly 200,000 soldiers alone are as high as one million imperial gold coins. The financial problem will still be a big problem that will plague Li Wufeng for a long time.

He slammed his head, as if he wanted to get rid of this annoying problem, let Xiao Tang and the others worry about this trouble, what he should think about is the next goal.

If it keeps going like this, maybe the financial situation will gradually improve, but I'm afraid that those potential opponents won't give me time. You are developing, and the enemy is also developing. Your own foundation is too weak, and I am afraid that you will not be able to exhaust the opponent.

Opportunities can only be obtained by resorting to extraordinary means. Frowning, Li Wufeng slowly turned his gaze to the southwest, maybe the opportunity is there, although the risk is higher, but life is like gambling, without high risk, how can there be high return? There is no suspense in the game, even children will not be interested.

How many times can you win in life? Only by fully understanding the risks of hard work can life be full of fun. The warm southeast wind blew the white clothes fluttering on Wufeng's body at the top of the city. At this moment, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Wufeng's mouth.

Who would know, perhaps his decision at this moment will set off a turmoil in the Central Continent, which has been calm for a long time.
