Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 19 Expansionism
Just as the dignitaries of all the Eastern Continent countries and regions, including the Tanghe Empire, were concerned about the ever-rising prices, Li Wufeng, the master of the western empire, was in a happy mood. Lying in the garden of the Sheriff's Mansion in Hanzhong Prefecture, enjoying the most wonderful time of the day.
After lunch, Wu Feng lay back on the easy chair in the kiosk paved with bluestone slabs, leisurely reading some newspapers delivered today, which has become the best supplementary rest for him during lunch break The three newspapers "Empire News", "Daily Express" and "Northwest Star" have become an important channel for Wufeng to understand the situation in the empire and its own territory. Although all kinds of intelligence and information sent to him every day are piled up like a mountain, even after being screened by Qin Shuangying and Su Jie, the purpose of sending him to him is already overwhelming, but he doesn't like them because their function and authenticity are more important and more important. Reliable things, rigid writing style and boring style of writing make Wufeng very dissatisfied with the guy in the intelligence department who is responsible for compiling and sorting out this kind of intelligence compilation, but he also knows that this is not a scholar who writes poems and Fu, and has a fixed The format made him helpless.
Therefore, in his spare time, he prefers to read various newspapers and magazines with lively writing styles, sharp words and more targeted words. A guy with a unique vision and insight, Wufeng likes to choose some newspapers and magazines as his leisure time during his lunch break. While reading the newspaper, he can take a nap when he is tired. This kind of leisure life is what Wufeng cherishes the most now It's time for my private time, and I hate being disturbed the most. In this case, unless something very important or a very important person visits, the frontless guards will not bother him.
Leaving the "Empire News" and "Daily Express" behind, Wu Feng picked up the "Northwest Star". There seems to be nothing new in the news of the past two days, and most of the attention is still focused on the food issue. Several major newspapers and periodicals in the imperial capital have linked the reduction in production due to the drought in the early spring of this year to the grain reserves in the Northwest and the rise in grain prices. Many media have begun to vaguely point out that the Northwest is not actually carrying out grain storage, but food Speculation, it's just that the Northwest happened to bet on this treasure, and the evil deeds of the Northwest have seriously affected the vital interests of ordinary people in the empire. As a vassal of the empire, they should bear their due responsibilities and undertake corresponding obligations for stabilizing food prices.
With the crazy growth of food prices and the huge pulling effect brought about by rising food prices, edible oil, salt, medicinal materials, and wine are in short supply since I announced that these types of materials will be used together with food as strategic materials to control the outflow However, the prices in the mainland of the empire kept going up even more. The prices of cooking oil and table salt had broken through the highest prices in the past ten years, and the prices of various medicinal materials had also climbed to the peak in the past five years. Especially after the Northwest Military and Political Governor’s Office issued an order in its own name to increase the tariffs on the circulation of transit strategic materials, the prices of goods in countries including Liberia also boiled like boiling water, and Wufeng even strictly ordered Cui Wenxiu Cooperating with the local tax inspection department to strengthen the inspection of the border areas of the countries in the Western Regions and the Tengger region, in Yinchuan, Taixuan and Nanjieluk, Fielding also strengthened the inspection of the external ports and borders to severely crack down on smuggling activities. Thinking that these actions of his would inevitably lead to further verbal criticism from all parties within the empire, Wufeng felt his scalp tingling, but for his own sake, he couldn't care less at this time.
The front page of "Northwest Star" is a report from a foreign reporter, "From the popularity of Tang dialect to see the improvement of the status of the Tang family in the Central Mainland", frowning, Wufeng seems to have smelled the backside of this report Unusual breath. Wu Feng's eyes fell on the name of the author of this report. He was abrupt. It was this guy again. He was a top student in the Journalism Department of Imperial University. After graduation, he wandered around. He is a national expansionist, but he is a very provocative guy. This is Wufeng's attribute for him. It is said that this guy used to be Hua Yumei's admirer in Imperial University. Maybe it was because of Yumei that he came to the Northwest and refused to leave, so he was chosen by the editor-in-chief of "Northwest Star" as the top card of "Northwest Star" reporter.
Needless to say, just looking at the title, Wufeng knew that this guy was really advocating the theory of going west. Once upon a time, the merchants in the Northwest whose pockets were gradually bulging gradually began to be unwilling to be confined to the narrow region of the Northwest. Their eyes had shifted from the Six Northwest Prefectures to the farther Western Regions, Tengger, and Northern Luzon. After these areas have been brought under the management of the Northwest, the economic benefits brought by them have stimulated the Northwest businessmen to burn with desire. They are eager to obtain more benefits, and they hope that they can focus more on those western markets that have not been fully developed. Regions, such as the Kingdom of India and the Principality of Meli. The rich specialties of the Indian Kingdom and the lucrative spices of the Meli Duchy are what make them salivate. They hope that Wufeng can expand their influence to these areas deeper and farther, and use their influence to win them more business opportunities. This is already the case in Northern Luzon, and it is the case in the Western Regions and Tengger. They hope that the next target will be the Indian Kingdom. They have some supporters in the government and the military. Although they have not formed any interest groups, perhaps the strong expansionary sentiment has made many important members of the military subconsciously form an alliance with them in public opinion, and they The spokesperson of this abruptness is this abruptness, and even this abruptness has gone further than them.
This is Wufeng's conclusion after having the security department conduct an investigation. They are not pawns sent by external forces to sabotage their plans to advance eastward, but rather their interests are more related to the West, and they are relatively well-developed within the empire. The industrial and commercial system makes many of their products less competitive than others, but in the middle mainland, many products can easily obtain a monopoly position, which prompts them to constantly lobby the government and the military. Of course, the biggest target is themselves.
The article expounds from the fact that Tang gradually replaced Lania as the second trading language in the business world in India and the rise of the Tang language boom in India, from the fact that Tang in Northern Luzon replaced Tianfang as the first From the first official language to the Tang language in the Western Regions as the official language with the same status as the Tianfang language, from the pride of the upper class in the Tengger Grassland who can speak the Tang language to the gradual increase in the number of people who can speak the Tang language in the Marston Wasteland. Discussion, it is believed that the Northwest should not put too much energy on the hinterland of the empire at present, but should seize the opportunity to shift the center of gravity to the west, and put more energy on the integration of politics, economy, culture and art with the mainland of China. The strong economic strength and splendid culture and art of the ethnic group can influence those relatively backward areas in the Central Continent, so that they can bathe in the dawn of civilization as soon as possible and avoid being influenced by the pagan culture from the Western Continent. The article also pointed out that enough attention should be paid to the religious invasion of the Western Continent. In the Central Continent, a region where religious awareness is not strong, if you do not seize the opportunity, you will inevitably pay a heavy price in the future.
Thousands of words are eloquent and well-founded. Even Wufeng, who does not advocate westward advancement, cannot but admit that some of the views put forward by this guy in this report are quite new, and they are indeed convincing enough. Some of the sharp-edged articles of . Especially in pointing out the expansion of the power of the Holy Spirit Church in the Western Continent, using many more detailed examples to illustrate, such as how many churches the Holy Spirit Church has built in the Indian region, how many church schools have been built in the Principality of Meli, etc., pointing out that this It is not only the promotion of religion and ideology as shown on the surface, but also has a deep political background. To put it more directly, it even serves as a front for the political and business forces in the western continent to invade the east~IndoMTL.com~This Wufeng’s point of view is refreshing and shocking at the same time. While he is going all out to conquer the East, he also needs to ensure his dominant position in the existing Central Mainland, especially in many ideological aspects such as religion, culture and art. Take it seriously, but I seem to have been negligent in the past two years.
Although this guy's views are a bit extreme, he is quite inspiring to himself. The example of focusing on one thing and losing the other cannot happen to him. This guy said that it is a clever move to seize the commanding heights of ideology. In the guise of religion, once the ideology from the Western Continent takes the lead, if I want to regain this commanding height, I really don't know how much energy I will spend. To plan ahead, maybe I really should make some preparations.
"The Western Regions set off a new round of land enclosure movement, vineyards become the first choice of farmers", after sighing, Wu Feng's eyes fell on another report of "Northwest Star", with the title "From The rapid development of the wine industry in the Western Regions and the challenges faced by Guide Wine Industry", the article uses detailed arguments and careful writing to introduce the influx of commercial funds from the south of the Yangtze River and the Northwest in the past year. The geographical environment and climatic conditions are quite suitable for planting. The countries of the Western Regions, where high-quality grapes are produced, have invested heavily in the purchase of land to build vineyards, and have started to build new winemaking workshops and wineries in several market towns where vineyards are relatively concentrated. In order to promote the rise of the winemaking industry in the Western Regions, at the same time, the article compares the revival of the Guide winemaking industry in recent years, and advocates that the Guide wine industry should assess the situation in a timely manner, use its mature and advanced technology to develop a high-end winemaking industry, and replace ordinary winemaking bases The transfer to the Western Regions has prompted Guide's winemaking industry to further upgrade, in order to achieve the goal of ensuring its leading position.
