Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 7: Dingding Section 24 National Policy Discussion (1)

The topic was quickly brought up to the establishment of a new empire. Although Wufeng avoided this issue on purpose, in fact this issue has been discussed countless times in private by military and political officials from all sides, even civilians. There are countless versions of rumors that His Royal Highness King Qin will announce the establishment of the new empire after advancing into the imperial capital. And there are countless topics surrounding the establishment of the new empire. The establishment of the capital, the establishment of the country, the proclaiming the emperor, and the establishment of the empress, this series of complicated affairs stimulate the hearts of ordinary people like a dose of stimulant, and they can witness a new empire. The establishment of the empire and the peace and prosperity brought about by the establishment of the new empire are the dreams of all the people and gentry, and the every move of His Highness King Qin who brought them this life is the object of everyone's attention.

Although Wufeng refused to express his opinions and thoughts on the establishment of the country and the capital on various occasions, and even strictly prohibited senior officials under his command from discussing this topic publicly, his mind changed. It is indeed difficult to force officials not to consider or not to talk about this topic, especially after the first battle in Yunzhong and the five lakes in the south of the Yangtze River were brought under the rule of Xijiang, the voice of talking about the establishment of a new dynasty began to gradually increase. Not only the folk gentry talked about it openly, but even some local media newspapers began to covertly mention that now is the time to consider the establishment of a new empire. Xijiang is no longer suitable as a local regime, especially in the political arena of the Eastern Continent. Xijiang can completely replace the old Tanghe Empire to express its own voice on behalf of the Tang nation.

And today was originally a private banquet, and the people who can attend such a dinner are naturally people whom Wufeng himself can completely trust. Seeing that His Royal Highness King Qin was very interested, Su Qin and others lost no time in expressing their opinions. He reminded Wufeng that he should take more attention away from military operations and focus on the establishment of a new dynasty. Even Bo Jinchen also agreed with Su Qin's opinion, thinking that large-scale military operations would actually be completed after the first battle in Yunzhong. There is not much possibility anymore, at most it is some localized battles. As for these military operations, the military commanders in the theater are fully competent, and at most they are coordinated by the Military Affairs Department. Of course, there is one exception, and that is the recovery of the imperial capital.

"Su Qin, Lao Bo, it seems that the two of you want to use today's dinner to force His Highness to make a statement, what? The founding fathers are impatient to wait? Hehe, but it is indeed time, this Cheng Dayou is in Dengzhou As soon as they land, I'm afraid that the whole north will fall into chaos. I don't believe that the people under Situ Tai are really loyal to Situ Tai, and I don't believe that none of them can see the situation clearly. Maybe Cui Wenxiu's The eastward stance has not yet been set up, and the envoys from others may have come to the door." While drinking casually, Mo Lun's words are always so unrestrained. As a director of legal affairs, including Wufeng himself, everyone thinks that this guy is really good. It is a mixture of contradictions. Proficient in legal affairs, conscientious in work, but unscrupulous in private life. In his own words, where the law does not explicitly prohibit it, it is allowed. Prostitution and alcoholism are his favorite hobbies, which makes everyone helpless.

"Hehe, Mr. Mo, although Situ Tai's situation is very difficult, it is not so far. He has not taken over Zhaohai County for a long time, and he has adopted various plundering policies in the East China Sea, which has made the people in the East China Sea resentful. Therefore, I can be sure that Cheng Dayou can sweep the East China Sea, but the situation in Yanyun is slightly different. Situ Tai's rule in this area can be said to be deeply rooted, and the industry and commerce in Yanyun area is not well developed. The main roles here are those big nobles and Landlords, these are Situ Tai's most basic support forces. Once Situ Tai is finished, they will also be wiped out. They will not fail to understand this, so they are actually tied to a chariot. The final battle is also inevitable." Bo Jinchen did not answer Mo Lun's question directly, but explained sideways: "Of course, in the current situation, no matter how much Situ Tai struggles, it is futile, and the land of Yanyun is delusional to resist us The army of Xijiang is an act of hitting a stone with an egg, and the wise will not do it. I hope Situ Tai can clearly understand this point. But no matter what he decides, he can't stop the pace of unifying the empire in Xijiang, even if it delays, it will be very limited , so the old man thought that His Highness should adjust his attention appropriately, after all, what His Highness needs to worry about is not just military affairs."

"Your Majesty Bo is right. The empire is about to be established, and His Highness is about to face more arduous affairs. The economy of Jiangnan and Donghai has been withered to the point where it needs to be rectified and restored after being poisoned by Situ Tai. It is only a matter of restoring the two counties to their former prosperity. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time and effort. Although the Wuhu area is the granary of the empire, in fact, many water conservancy facilities have been in disrepair for a long time, and the infrastructure has been abandoned for a long time. Once a flood occurs, the entire Wuhu area will face the fate of water towns. If If measures are not taken in time to renovate, this year is good luck, and God will help, and maybe next year will not be so good luck."

By drinking, Yang Zhengbin, director of the Department of Economic Development, also began to express his views. He is one of Wufeng's most important economic think tanks. He and Su Minshun called the pulse of economic development in Xijiang, which can be understood from their usual remarks Subtle changes in the economic policy of Xijiang. He has already vaguely felt that His Royal Highness King Qin seems to have further plans in his heart, especially after learning from his friend James that the former Tanghe Empire General Administration of Finance will hand over a sum of funds to Xijiang, he was very excited and hoped to be able to Use this fund to invest in several urgently needed projects, such as the comprehensive maintenance project of water conservancy facilities in Wuhu County, the start of the canal irrigation facility project in Anyuan and Yulin prefectures in Beiyuan County, and the canal project from Heshuo Hejian to Jinzhong. Several large-scale projects are related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. If they can be started quickly, they will greatly alleviate the local difficulties and inject vitality into economic development. However, this plan does not seem to have won the desired response. His Royal Highness Qin seems to be Regarding that sum of money, he had other plans of his own, and even Xiao Tang couldn't figure out what His Royal Highness King Qin was thinking.

Yang Zhengbin is naturally not reconciled to such a sum of money slipping away from his eyes like this. His old classmate James is already out of oil and salt. Reaching out for money, this old classmate who is also the president of the Northwest Bank wished to use all the money in the bank to meet these huge expenses. It is almost impossible for him to increase some appropriation items with his personal relationship. Perhaps, since there is a sum of money that even his classmates can't control, he has to make up his mind anyway.

"The northern region has been suffering from drought and military turmoil, and the economy has reached the brink of collapse. Taking Beiyuan as an example, except for Lulong, which has always been within the control area of ​​​​Western Xinjiang, the situation is better, Anyuan, Pinglu, Qinghe Before we took over, Yulin and Yulin had already reached the point where the people were in dire straits. Even in Heshuo County, only Hejian and Jinzhong were in better condition. The situation in Longquan, Heishan and Tianshui was roughly the same as in Beiyuan County. I don't know the truth, but it is conceivable that the situation there is probably even worse than that in Beiyuan. If Situ Tai hadn't used his military power to forcefully suppress it, a big uprising like that in 689 would have erupted in Yanyun. There was a riot, and even so, small groups of riots and commotions continued one after another, which also proved that the people of the lower class had really reached the point where they couldn't bear it. I was guessing, even if we didn't touch that Yanyun, I don't think it would take long for Situ Tai will be buried by the resistance from the middle and lower classes, hehe, now we really want to bring Yanyun into our management, we don’t know how much effort we will spend to settle these troubles.”

"Look at the southern peninsula region that we have newly brought under management in Western Xinjiang. Except for Moro, Sanbao and Eastern Samoa ~IndoMTL.com~ the rest of the provinces are extremely barren, especially Central South County and Medan , Sulawesi, and Bali are quite poor areas in the original peninsula alliance. This is why our western Xinjiang can easily win this land. It is very backward. Although there are quite rich land resources and minerals, they have not been cultivated. The life of the lower class people there is beyond your imagination. I think we should analyze why we can quickly win the hearts of the people in this land. I originally thought that Main County was already the poorest area in western Xinjiang, but after visiting Bali and Medan, I realized that compared to these two places, Main County is considered a rich area, at least Myanmar North is not something that these two places can catch up with in three to five years. Brother Minshun discussed with me how to find ways to raise funds to help Zhongnan County open up roads connecting Zhufu and North and South, especially connecting Maine County and Zhongnan County before going to Wuhu. The county road, although this road has been opened up, is in poor condition and urgently needs to be widened and reinforced. Otherwise, once the rainy season comes, it will be difficult to pass. This will seriously affect our ability to control that piece of land and will also greatly restrict The development potential of this area.”

Almost everyone shut their mouths and listened to the Director of Economic Development, who is regarded as the general adviser of His Royal Highness Qin's economic policy. Obviously, the Director of the Economic Development Department is already telling some people here Splashing cold water, the situation in western Xinjiang is indeed very good, but there are many unknown difficulties and hidden worries hidden behind it, but His Royal Highness King Qin doesn't seem to care much about the needs in this regard.
