Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Verse 71 On the way

The words of the girl in Dai clothes also greatly shocked Wufeng. Because he could hear the implied meaning in the other party's words, the other party seemed to be quite familiar with the Qin family, but how could he not know the second son of Qin? Could it be that the other party already knew that he was a fake? Then why not expose yourself? What is her purpose in doing this? The snow-clothed girl seems to have not figured it out, and has not discovered the loopholes in her identity, but if this continues, it is inevitable that there will be a moment of betrayal.

Another point of shock came from the words of the girl in black clothes. The relationship between the Qin family and the Japanese people has reached this point. You can ignore everything, as long as you can get high profits to add a weight to your wealth growth, it seems that everything can be forgotten, but you have played this disgraceful role, the face of the snow-clothed girl is already obvious. He showed indifference, and the goodwill he had won with great difficulty might be ruined by the identity of the second son of Qin. Thinking of this, Wufeng couldn't help but smile wryly, he wanted to play the role of the unpopular second son of Qin My son, it's really hard life.

Seeing a wry smile on Wufeng's face, Lin Yuexin felt a little strange, and at the same time, a glimmer of hope arose in her heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Could it be that the second son of Qin has some unspeakable difficulties? Is there any misunderstanding?"

With a sudden change in his mind, Wufeng said: "Ms. Mu may have misunderstood. Although the Qin family has some business contacts with the Japanese, it is only a legal business within the scope allowed by the central government of the empire. There is nothing shameful. Most of what our Qin family exported to the Japanese territory were silk, embroidery, pottery, porcelain, jewelry, jewelry, handicrafts and other luxury goods, as well as valuable commodities from the Central and Western continents, and some such as tea, Cloth and other daily necessities, and the imports are also valuable materials such as gold, silver, pearls, shellfish, seafood, etc., and these items are also needed by the empire, and the business done by our Qin family is absolutely not safe for the empire However, because of this license, we have to pay a considerable amount of taxes to the Imperial Taxation Administration every year. Objectively, this is also a contribution to the empire. On the contrary, some businesses slander and slander the Qin family. On the other hand, they secretly colluded with the scum in the empire, smuggled and smuggled wantonly, and even some strategic materials that the empire ordered to prohibit the export went out like crazy, and the thief shouted to catch the thief. Qin was thinking that maybe this was the cause of the empire’s worry.”

Wufeng had a sincere expression on his face, making it hard to doubt the authenticity of what he said. Lin Yuexin was even more relieved. She was subconsciously unwilling to believe this fact, and now she naturally doesn't want to think about it anymore. Questions, but the words in the other party's words still shocked her, but at this time she didn't have any more thoughts to get to the bottom of it.

The girl in black clothes was worried. The Qin family had secretly informed Situ Yushuang that the Japanese had been handed over to Situ Yushuang with her own handkerchief. It makes sense to explain it yourself.

A refreshing cool wind slid in from the car window, passing over the skins of the three of them, taking away a trace of summer heat. This place is already close to the border of Vito City, and the tall tropical trees beside the road are like soldiers lined up Standing on the wall, the cavalry in the front and back have obviously stepped up their guard and shortened the distance from several carriages, especially the carriages of Wufeng and his party are surrounded by guards. This kind of dense forest is the most vulnerable place to be attacked, although The previous guards had already been sorted out once, but if they were masters who wanted to attack, they could still escape by taking advantage of this environment. It was better to be careful. Wufeng had already been assassinated twice, so the guards naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Fortunately, it was calm, and the convoy passed this section of the journey smoothly. Originally, Wufeng didn't want the guards to be so vigilant as if facing an enemy. The social security situation in Northern Luzon has always been good, especially after he took over Northern Luzon, the conflicts between various ethnic groups have been greatly eased, and the economy There is also considerable improvement. No one knows about his trip to Northern Luzon, so there should be no accidents. However, the guards insisted on their duties, saying that they each performed their duties, and Wufeng couldn't interfere too much, so they had to agree.

After more than a year of rapid development, Northeast Luzon has started to get on the right track, especially after the rapid completion of the road leading to Northwest Qingyang and Northwest Luzon, the entire North Luzon and Northwest Economic Union has become a As a whole, the reduction of tariffs has promoted the circulation of goods and trade exchanges, and the rich products of Northern Luzon have been continuously exported to the northwest and even the hinterland of the empire through Vito. And because the foundation of Vito City is much better than that of Shuangdui Mansion in Northwest Luzon, the speed of development is even more amazing.

The national reconciliation policy established by Wufeng has played a considerable role in Vito. Both the Gaoyue people who have just been brought into management and the Andean people who still occupy a dominant position in population have shown their hearts and minds. The administrative structure also fully reflects the policy of ethnic diversity. Except for several powerful departments that are still controlled by the Wufeng lineage, the chief officers of the Economic Development Agency and the Agricultural Administration and Water Conservancy Administration are all from the Andes, and the director of the War Preparedness Administration is Gao Yueren. , while the chief officials of the Department of Culture, Education and Health and the Department of Construction are respectively held by local Tang people and Indians.

Wufeng didn't want to reveal his whereabouts, but since he passed through Northeast Luzon, it would be unreasonable if he couldn't get through the door, and he also wanted to know how Northeast Luzon was under Mu Haoran's governance for more than a year. So he chose to visit the city guard's mansion at night.

Mu Haoran, who was woken up from his sleep, couldn't believe how his immediate superior came to his mansion in the middle of the night, and even thought that something urgent happened. The westward advance has already made him vaguely feel that something major is about to happen in Northern Luzon, but as a magistrate, he has no right and will not inquire about matters that he should not know, and he must do his job well. Seriously, seeing his immediate boss arrive at this time, this only deepened his cognition in his heart.

After learning that Master Jiedu just passed by secretly to listen to his work report, Mu Haoran and Sang Sheng, who was also recruited by the officer on duty, also knew that the matter was secret and urgent, and the two quickly entered the state and put themselves together The work of the past year is briefly introduced.

The development of Northeast Luzon in this year can be described as changing with each passing day. The huge market in the interior of the empire has been opened to North Luzon, which has excited all businessmen. The relatively good foundation and the emigration of Gaoyue people have brought Sufficient and cheap labor force makes the entire Northeast Luzon start like a clockwork machine crazily.

Tobacco planting and processing, as well as sugar cane planting and sugar refining, have become the core industries of Vito Mansion. The large area of ​​land in the east near the Hengduan Mountains has been left barren and undeveloped for fear of the existence of the Gaoyue people. Now all problems are gone. It doesn’t exist anymore, so it was naturally auctioned and rented out by the autonomous government at a relatively low price, which immediately triggered the first round of investment frenzy by Andean and Tang businessmen, and a few Gaoyue businessmen who got rich first also joined this wave Among them, huge tobacco plantations are densely distributed throughout the eastern part of Northeast Luzon. Plantations covering an area of ​​one thousand acres are no longer a new thing, and tobacco processing workshops are constantly emerging in several market towns in the east. It has established a base for deep processing and finishing of tobacco.

The south became dominated by sugar cane plantations. Even the outbreak of the Second Luzon War did not dissuade businessmen from investing. In addition to the Gaoyue people, a large number of Indian slaves also came from The continuous input from the west has become the main labor force in sugar cane plantations and sugar workshops, which has greatly promoted the development of sugar cane planting and sugar industry. Of course, the slave traders made a lot of money, and the original dissatisfaction with the self-government's increase in the tax rate for slave transactions has long been forgotten.

Coffee planting has also started, but due to the influence of planting traditions, it is far from being comparable to the Grand Duchy of Luzon in the south, but the good start has already satisfied the autonomous government. You must know that tasting coffee has become the capital of the empire. The popular trend of the high society in Dayi gradually became popular throughout the empire. With the sharp increase in demand, the price of coffee in the empire also skyrocketed. This is a long-term trend. Seizing the opportunity to develop coffee cultivation has become a top priority.

Wood processing and medicinal material processing have benefited from the surrender of the Gaoyue people and the development of the eastern mountainous areas. With the improvement of road conditions and the harmonious relationship between various ethnic groups~IndoMTL.com~The rich timber and medicinal material resources in the eastern Hengduan mountainous area have been released to the outside world Open your arms, the terrain here is slightly different from that at the east foot. Compared with the east foot, the terrain here is gentler, which also makes the workload of the road construction project much smaller, and the transportation of bulk materials is easier. Much easier. The Tiandao Medicine Hall of the Lu family in Jinzhou has already regarded this place as a second base, continuously expanding the scale of the medicinal material processing workshop, and faintly showing signs of catching up with the Jinzhou base, and the giant merchants from Jiangnan of the Empire will not let it go Precious wood, wood carving crafts, and furniture manufacturing have always been their strengths, and the good geographical location here also allows the finished products to be easily sold to the countries in the middle mainland in the south and the western continent in the west.

Seeing that Mu Haoran, who has always been proud of his elegance, has darkened his complexion, but his mental state is very good. When he talked about the affairs of his jurisdiction, he was even more eloquent. He talked for more than two hours in one breath. , he didn't give the military leader Sang Sheng who was sitting next to him a chance, Wufeng was also a little funny when he was relieved, the environment changed people, it seemed that Mu Haoran had completely adapted to the environment of this place, and was deeply devoted to himself. In my own job, I was still a little worried at the time, but now I can feel completely at ease.

It wasn't until Wufeng repeatedly signaled that Mu Haoran reluctantly stopped talking and gave Sang Sheng a chance.

The half-night conversation made Wufeng return to the inn still very excited and unable to fall asleep. The development of Northeast Luzon was indeed beyond Wufeng's expectations. Unexpectedly, Mu Haoran's ability to manage government affairs is also quite outstanding. Manage this huge and complicated Northeast Luzon in an orderly manner, and it is beyond my expectations.

This is the case in Northeast Luzon, but what about Northwest Luzon? Filled with joy and anticipation, Wufeng slowly fell asleep.
