Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 10 Spread

While thinking about it, there was a rush of footsteps rushing up, and the two girls with wide-eyed almonds had already ran in front of him, "Li Wufeng, what did you do to my sister?"

Wufeng was happy, but on the surface he pretended to be innocent, and asked in surprise: "What did you do? Just now your sister was talking with me about life, pursuit, and philosophy."

"Impossible! Then why does my sister have red eye circles, as if she's been crying? You really didn't do anything bad?" Observing Wufeng's expression suspiciously, the younger Li Qingyun questioned unwillingly .

"Of course not, my heart is brighter than the moon, how can I do something bad?" Wufeng pretended to be stupid and asked, "Isn't Qing uncomfortable?"

"We don't know, my sister is in a bad mood, you must have done something bad, otherwise, what would happen if only the two of you are here?" Li Qingshi didn't trust Wufeng as easily as her own sister, with a cold expression on her face.

"Hehe, is that so? Then you didn't ask your sister what bad things I did?" Wu Feng knew that it was impossible for his daughter's family to tell outsiders about such things, even if they were his own sisters, let alone Li Qing. There is still such a trace of affection between him and himself, and he will not speak to outsiders.

"You!" Li Qingshi said bitterly: "Don't let us find out that you are sorry for our eldest sister, otherwise,..."

"Otherwise what? Could it be that Qingshi wants to stand up for your sister? That's just right, I have long wanted to try Qingshi's pink fists and embroidered legs." Wufeng's words with a strange smile were full of ambiguities, which made Li Qingshi is angry, ashamed and not easy to attack.

The atmosphere became a little stagnant, but fortunately, there was a sound of notification from the guards downstairs: "My lord, report from the city that Lord Xiao, Lord Su, and Lord Wang have all entered the city."

"Understood." Wufeng lifted his spirits, and then said to the second daughter: "Okay, I'm going to get down to business, you three sisters can take a good rest here, and it's rare for you to go out, these few days You must be tired, so let's rest."

Without waiting for the second daughter to answer, they went downstairs in a hurry, boarded the carriage that had been prepared and headed straight to the city.

One farewell to March, Wufeng and the others were very affectionate. Xiao Tang, Su Qin and Wang Zongxi all reported to Wufeng about their respective responsibilities in March, and the situation in the northwest was very stable. Everything is proceeding according to the established plan, and the fiscal revenue has grown steadily. Although it is not enough to support the military's expenditure, it has risen a lot compared to the same period last year. He also gave a brief report on the government affairs of Longdong, Tianshui and Beiyuan. The situation in Longdong and Tianshui has completely calmed down. Those involved were all cleared, and were either sent to the Tengger Grassland to build roads, or sent to North Luzon to open mines, which dealt a powerful blow to the remaining forces of the Taiping Sect in this area. The economy of the three places has also been restored. The mines in Lulong have been nationalized. Both the mines of the original Miao family and the mines of other families are being taken over by the Northwest. The agricultural product processing industry has also been developed, especially the lacquer industry in Longdong and the wood processing industry in Tianshui. The road widening and repairing projects from Longdong to Lulong have started, which will effectively connect the economies of the two places.

But Wufeng's focus is not here, he is more concerned about the implementation of his grain purchase plan. Xiao Tang focused on reporting this situation. In order to implement Wufeng’s plan, the Northwest Bank’s 60 million imperial gold coins were spent, and Xiao Tang also borrowed and borrowed from many banks in the name of the Northwest Administrative Office, with a total loan of 130 million imperial gold coins. Iron and silver mines in Lulong, Yinchuan, and Shuangdui, as well as tobacco and alcohol monopoly rights in North Luzon and Northwest, as well as customs duties in the entire Northwest including Northwest County, North Luzon, Western Regions, Mote and Tubu Autonomous Territory as a guarantee. Among them, it is estimated that 20 million imperial gold coins will be spent on grain purchases in Liberia, 25 million imperial gold coins will be spent on food purchases in India, 30 million imperial gold coins will be spent on grain purchases in Andean countries, and Eighty million imperial gold coins were spent, and 35 million imperial gold coins were spent in Maqihan and Milan, and a total of 35 million dans of grain was expected to be purchased.

However, the entire plan has been fully launched and is operating normally. Although the grain market in various places has caused considerable fluctuations, since the grain price has remained stable for so many years, after the price in the Northwest was higher than the market price, the grain purchase operation was carried out. It went quite smoothly, especially in the Andean countries and the Indian region. A large number of grain merchants flocked to ask the Northwest government to purchase on their behalf. When it entered the peak period, the grain purchase plan of the Andean countries entered the later stage, and the grain in the Indian region was continuously transported into Shuangdui and Kuqa.

Seeing Wufeng smiling and nodding to his report, Xiao Tang couldn't help but said after the report: "My lord, although our plan is going very smoothly, no matter which region it is from now it seems that it is very cooperative, and there is plenty The price of grain sources has not exceeded our expectations, and I estimate that we may be able to achieve our planned goals without using the funds we have prepared. However, my lord, I still cannot help but ask, what is the basis for your judgment? Reliable I shouldn't have asked this question at first, but it is related to the future of our Northwest. Once we make a wrong judgment, our accumulation of hard work over the past few years may be turned into water, and it is likely to affect you, my lord, in the Northwest and even in the North. Luzon's rule, so I have to take the liberty of asking again."

"Hehe, Xiao Tang, there is no such thing in the world that is 100% sure. There are some things that you only need to feel sure of. Anyone can do something that is 100% sure. How can there be any profit without risk? This time I have a gamble in it, but if it succeeds, we will be invincible in the next few years. Of course, I will definitely not make those unsure bets, please believe me "Wu Fengqiang made a self-smiling face, although he knew that this grain purchase operation would cost him nothing, but he did not expect that Xiao Tang would carry out his order so thoroughly that after hearing such a huge Even after the loan amount, he couldn't help but feel guilty. Once he failed, he was afraid that he would really go bankrupt and become a debt slave of the bank. But at this time, the arrow was on the string, and he had to bite the bullet and cheer for his subordinates.

"My lord, if there will be a major natural disaster in the Eastern Continent as you said, it will indeed be a rare opportunity for us. The food reserves of the Liberian countries are not large. Once there is a food shortage, they will definitely Without the ability to expand externally, being able to maintain success is the maximum, and Taipingjiao people have no awareness of this aspect. I think our eyes should not only be on Anyuan, but should be more long-term. If we can take this opportunity Then divide and disintegrate the internal factions of the Taiping Sect, which are already alienated from Germany, I think there should be great hope for taking Heshuo to completely solve the Taiping Sect militarily." Seeing Wufeng's vow, Su Qin was more inclined to believe Wufeng's presumption, He focused on integrating forces in the northwest, "In addition, the Lang family will also be our next target. Burma is now in a semi-independent state. Wenna and the Lang family are fighting continuously in the central part of Burma. There was a victory or defeat, and Lang Yongquan had the upper hand, but both sides were exhausted. It turned out that many businessmen from Jiangnan and Wuhu invested in Burma, but now the achievements in this area have been completely destroyed, and a large amount of land has been abandoned. Tiannan’s food is only enough for self-sufficiency in normal years, and once there is a famine, I think Lang Yongquan can rest!”

"Hehe, Su Qin's words are exactly what I want. Situ Lang asked me to launch an offensive in Qinghe to break the siege of the imperial capital, but I refused. Now the strength of the Kaman people has not diminished~IndoMTL.com~We can't go head-to-head with them yet. Especially in Qinghe, it is difficult for us to gain the upper hand in field battles or siege battles. I am more inclined to deal with Tiannan or Heshuo first. According to what Su Qin said, I am more confident. Whether it is Heshuo or Tiannan, As long as the time is right, we can launch an offensive at any time. Bo Jinchen, Xu Wenzhe, and Wen Na are all heroes of a generation, if they can be used by us, I think our great cause will proceed more smoothly." Wufeng waved his big hand forcefully , full of ambition, "The Kamans and Machihans will be our two biggest stumbling blocks. It is not the time to kick these two stumbling blocks, but one day I will let them see the bravery of our Northwest Army."

"My lord, Wen Na has sent people to the northwest to contact us, asking us to give him support. Su Qin has sent people to contact him. He is in a bit of a difficult situation now. Lang Yongquan has made up his mind to completely conquer Burma to avoid future troubles. , although Wenna has the support of the local natives, but the foundation is indeed too shallow, and his strength is not enough. I am worried that it will be difficult for him to survive July, so my subordinates suggest to see if we can take measures to help him." Su Qin Considering his words, although he is in charge of diplomacy, the rule set by Wufeng is that the government should not be involved in the military, and the military should not be involved in politics. It is strictly forbidden to confuse the two. Inside, he is also very careful.

Nodding his head, Wufeng agreed: "We must not let Wen Na collapse. We can consider giving him support from the opposite side. Su Qin, you can face Tiannan in the name of the Foreign and Liaison Affairs Office of the Kansai Military and Political Jiedu Mission. Propose mediation, well, if Lang Yongquan refuses to accept it, if necessary, he can strengthen military forces in Bashan and threaten Tiannan, forcing him to sit down and negotiate with Wenna. In short, use all methods to stop this war and decide the winner.” Wufeng A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
