Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 100 Jiangnan Rebellion
In Mo Lun's eyes, monopoly is a kind of unfair competition, and business activities encourage fair competition, so monopoly is naturally contrary to the rules of business operation. Since the legal department is used to regulate all people and affairs in the territory, it must follow the principle of justice. Although financial monopoly can bring considerable profits to the banking sector affiliated to the government, it will also suppress the development of other financial institutions. violated. Therefore, Mo Lun categorically instructed the Northwest Trial Court, which acts on behalf of the Trial Court of Xijiang Dufu, to rule that the Economic Development Agency's decision not to issue the business license of the First Industrial and Commercial Bank of Xijiang violated the principle of reasonable commercial competition, and ruled that the First Industrial and Commercial Bank of Xijiang Banks can open for business if all conditions are met. This is undoubtedly a slap in the face for James, who is determined to make Northwestern Bank the largest financial institution in the entire frontier.
James immediately asked Xiao Tang to file a complaint with Wufeng on behalf of the Government Affairs Department, asking Wufeng to stop Mo Lun's elbow turning outward, but Xiao Tang chose to remain silent, which also made James and Xiao Tang the first time because of Political disputes arose. James even met Wufeng in person and asked Wufeng to revoke the ruling of the Legal Affairs Department in the name of the Western Frontier Protectorate or the Northwest Military and Political Governor, but Wufeng finally chose not to interfere after a long talk with Mo Lun.
Although James was indignant about Wufeng's decision, he had nothing to say, but James was dissatisfied with Xiao Tang's weak performance as the director of political affairs. After extensive discussions and debates, a consensus on this issue was barely reached. The financial sector is a special sector. In the future management, the supervision of private financial institutions should be strengthened to prevent the damage to the interests of depositors due to poor management. Of course, this is just a small episode in the development of Burma, and it has not affected the rapid economic development of Burma.
And entering July, the surrounding forces have expanded their armies and prepared for war, which has caused a large outflow of funds from Jiangnan, and Situ Yuan has been unable to control the entire situation in Jiangnan. There is an endless stream of fleets and convoys from the south of the Yangtze River via Anqing and Yueyang, and then into Kansai and the north and south of the country, especially the waterway transportation is extremely busy. Not only is the transfer of assets, a large number of such as tea, Skilled workers in silk weaving, papermaking and other industries also followed their masters to join the relocation ranks, and this phenomenon continued until the end of August. It is said that this was also one of the main reasons that prompted Situ Tai to send troops ahead of time. No one was willing to accept a The empty Jiangnan, if it continues like this, maybe there will really be only an empty shell left in Jiangnan.
Due to the influx of a large amount of capital and equipment from the south of the Yangtze River, the silk weaving industry in the Kansai region has also flourished rapidly. Originally, prefectures like Hanzhong, Bashan, Lujiang, and especially Jincheng had the tradition of planting mulberry and raising silkworms. Due to capital and technical reasons, it is far less developed than Jiangnan. Now a large amount of capital, technology and facilities have been transferred, which immediately caused an upsurge of Shangma silk weaving factories and workshops in the entire Kansai and northern Tiannan. The high price of silk The profits made not only Jiangnan merchants willing to invest, but also the arrival of a large number of skilled workers, which also made Kansai local merchants jealous and joined the ranks one after another.
Although the officials in the Northwest tried their best to absorb the funds transferred from Jiangnan in Kansai, Tiannan, and Burma, the funds from Jiangnan were too abundant, so that there was a large amount of surplus funds that had to be Hoarding in financial institutions, financial institutions and businessmen who were worried about insufficient funds now prefer to have reliable investment projects, and the Northern Luzon Investment Promotion Group, Western Region Investment Promotion Group and even Tengger Investment Promotion Group immediately heard the news, and all One after another came to Kansai and Tiannan to seek financing channels, which made the two sides hit it off, and the Legal Affairs Department once again clearly ruled in the form of a decree that the so-called Tengger region and the Western Regions belonged to the special financial jurisdictions of the Government Affairs Administration. Institutions can enter any region to list for business after they have the statutory principal and margin reserve, which also facilitates the entry of Jiangnan funds into the Northwest backyard.
In this large transfer of funds, Liao Qichang acted as an extremely important guarantor and introducer. In view of his prestige in the entire Jiangnan area, and because he firmly stood on Li Wufeng's side, the Jiangnan capital In the end, they all chose the Li Wufeng-controlled area as the destination for the transfer of funds, and this is what the entire Western Xinjiang region needs most at present, especially since these funds come from the private sector, and the direction of investment is not restricted like government funds. into the channels of production and reproduction. In places such as Burma, Tengger, and the Western Regions where funds continue to be invested to accelerate development, these funds have played a considerable role, which will play a vital role in the sustained and rapid economic development of these places in the next few years. The role it played is even written in the glorious imperial economic history, "This economic westward migration that occurred in the summer of 698 in the Gregorian calendar made a great contribution to the economic development balance between the east and west of the entire Tang nationality territory." ( Excerpted from page 122 of "The History of the Economic Development of the Brilliant Empire"), and the contribution of Liao Qichang, who was the governor of Jiangnan County in the Tanghe Empire, was also recorded in the annals of history.
On August 23, 698 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, Situ Tai led the three divisions of the Second Army to defeat the defense line built by the Seventh Army in Shaoxing, an important town in the north of Yuhang Prefecture. At this time, the reinforcements of the Kingdom of Milan were still marching slowly between Quanzhou and Songjiang. On August 24, the coalition forces of the Third Navy Fleet and the First and Second Navy Fleets, which originally belonged to the Imperial Navy, fought the first water battle off the coast of Yuhangfu Port. The victory of the fleet and coalition forces ended, which announced the beginning of the collapse of Situ Yuan's power in the south of the Yangtze River.
On August 25th, under the **** of two divisions, Situ Tai stepped into Yuhang Prefecture, which is known as "there is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below". At this time, the capital of Jiangnan County has become a city. In an undefended city, due to the defeat of the land and water armies, Situ Yuan has completely lost the ability to control Yuhang, the richest and most important mansion in the empire. city.
At the same time, the remnants of the Seventh Army and most of the Tenth Army also retreated to the front line of Songjiang to strengthen their defense, but the Jiangnan Army with low morale had completely collapsed in will. The disastrous defeat had made them completely lose their fighting spirit, and they could no longer face up to the aggressive Second Army. They could only hide in front of Songjiang, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from Milan.
Standing at the head of the east city of Yuhang Prefecture, the oncoming river wind already has a faint smell of the sea. The Qiantang River flows into the Great Eastern Ocean from here. , Every autumn, here is full of tourists, bustling, crowding around the mouth of the river waiting for the emergence of the tide of Qiantang, this place has become the most lively place in Yuhang Prefecture. Going east along the mouth of the Qiantang River, if the weather is clear and the line of sight is good, you can faintly see a series of island chains in the distance. There is the imperial summer resort - Zhoushan Islands, and Mount Putuo is right in the middle of the island chain.
The cool river wind blew up the fluttering clothes, and Situ Tai proudly looked into the distance with his hands behind his hands. The Yuhang Mansion, which is known as the number one mansion of the empire, has completely fallen into his hands. The poor Jiangnan army is probably still shackled in Songjiang tremblingly, waiting for his next wave of attack. Bone marrow, but the struggle for imperial power has always been so cruel~IndoMTL.com~ I can only blame you for being born in the emperor's family.
"Old Leng, what should we do next?" A smug smile couldn't be concealed from the corner of his mouth. The beginning is often very important, and it also indicates a successful ending. The Jiangnan army can't stop their progress, and the Milanese can't do it either.
"Your Highness, it will be a matter of time before the Weiyang Mansion is recovered, but now that remnant of Taiping has shown interest in Huzhou, openly clamoring that Huzhou is his sphere of influence, which needs to be taken seriously. Huzhou is the most important property in the south of the Yangtze River The grain area is nourished by the water of Taihu Lake. The lake area has not been affected by the drought for a hundred miles, and the grain is about to mature. If this guy takes Huzhou, we will lose a lot. In addition, the Milan army has already entered Songjiang. War is also inevitable. Only by thoroughly beating the Milanese in Songjiang can the Milanese's ambitions for Jiangnan be curbed. Fortunately, His Royal Highness also stabbed in from Jinhua, and the Milanese had to be distracted from taking care of the west. It also helped us objectively, as long as the Milanese in Songjiang are knocked down, I think Jiangnan will be brought under our management sooner or later." The old man who gently stroked the city wall smacked his lips in pity, "It's really a good place, Even the mountains and rivers are infused with the essence of the empire, so it’s no wonder that Jiangnan produces outstanding talents, but it’s a pity that the weak folk customs make Jiangnan not suitable for the baptism of war.”
"Old Leng, Cheng Dayou is a smart guy. I believe he can see the situation clearly. As long as we win the other Jiangnan prefectures, I think he can serve us. His current actions are just for his future. It's all about fighting for one more weight, I don't believe he can compete with me with a whole family!" Situ Tai said proudly, curling his lips.
