    On the fifth day after Fang Buli's order to build an "economic development zone" and set up an industrial promotion bureau was issued to all states, prefectures, and counties in Shaanxi, a letter from Beijing was placed on Fang Buli's desk.  forward.  This letter directly made Fang Buli stupid, or in other words, this letter hit Fang Buli on the head like a sap.  The letter is very ordinary. The outer surface is ordinary kraft paper, and the inner pages are rice paper produced in Jingcheng, Xuancheng, South Zhili. The content written in the letter is also very ordinary. It is just some ordinary greetings, talking about the customs of Shaanxi and the people's livelihood in Sangzi.  Category.  But the person who wrote the letter was very unusual. There were two words written at the end of the signature: Yang Rong.  "Husband, what was written in the letter Yang Rong gave you?" Fang Buli sat there from day to night without even eating a few days ago.  Xue Heng felt something was wrong. She knew that Fang Buli had received Yang Rong's letter today. She was a little worried and came to the study in person to take a look.  Seeing Fang Buli still sitting motionless on the chair, she knew there must be something on the letter that her husband didn't want to see.  Xue Heng was a little worried. Although some of Fang Buli's recent actions seemed to have nothing to do with the Huashan Sect, Xue Heng had a vague feeling that these were directed at the Huashan Sect.  As for why, I can¡¯t tell, it¡¯s just a woman¡¯s intuition.  Fang Buli relaxed his stiff body, squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and comforted his wife, "It's okay. Yang Rong just asked about Shaanxi's mountains, rivers, water, soil, people, and products. It's just development  The district may have to change its position or even cancel it. "What happened?" Xue Heng was a little anxious. She knew what her husband was like and she had to do what she wanted.  What's more, the establishment of a development zone was his first order in the field of people's livelihood politics since he took office in Shaanxi. The sudden change was greatly detrimental to his establishment of his own prestige in Shaanxi.  Not to mention, in the past five days, how many nobles, officials, and merchants have invested huge amounts of gold and silver in it.  What if Fang Buli suddenly changes his mind.  I'm afraid it's not as simple as losing the popularity of Shaanxi people.  "That old man Yang Rong must have received Zhou Buyi's money. He asked me how many acres of land there are in Shaanxi and whose hands are these. He also said that the autumn harvest is coming, and he asked me to guarantee  During the autumn grain harvest, he also asked me about the current situation of Biesha Bali Kingdom and whether he could mobilize a large army to destroy this remnant of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty," Fang Buli said bitterly as he picked up the letter on the table.  "Isn't that a good thing? When the war breaks out, the army will need a huge amount of supplies and food, which can invigorate Shaanxi's economy. Why are you looking so sad?" Xue Heng was somewhat different.  I took the letter and looked at it again and again under the light, but found nothing special.  "When did the Ming Dynasty ever promise its credit to the merchants? Besides, when the army enters Shaanxi, it will inevitably pass through Tongguan. The soldiers will pass like a grate. After they leave, there will be no two people left in the development zone. What else is being developed?"  Fang Buli's face was full of helplessness, and he suddenly collapsed on the chair.  Forced a smile.  "However, this can be regarded as a good thing. Every time the imperial court raised troops, it was necessary to recruit civilians to transport supplies. The local squires and landlords also had to donate one or two. For a war of this scale, the donations required by the civilians were not small, and it was enough to make the Huashan faction feel heartbroken.  Let your nephew do the beating again, and leave the rest to Zuo Lengchan." "It doesn't matter."  While talking.  "I think Grand Scholar Yang's intention is not very strong. I think there are some other changes in the capital?"  , reject dissenters, and accept bribes. Such people can also be cabinet bachelors. I think there is no hope for the Ming Dynasty!" Fang Buli was full of grief and anger, and he became more and more energetic, saying everything he could and could not say.  Anxious Xue Heng covered his mouth.  "Shut up! Can you say this? Be careful of Jin Yiwei!" Fang Buli took away Xue Heng's jade hand covering his mouth and smiled miserably: "It's okay, on the roof, underground, and around the study room.  No one. Even if they heard it, it wouldn't matter. I told the emperor countless times in Youjun. It doesn't matter. " "The Huashan sect has so much energy? Give it to Yang Rong."  It's not difficult, but it is even more difficult to make Yang Rong ignore the interests of the imperial court. Once your development zone is built, the annual taxes sent to the capital will increase dozens of times compared with the past.  Money, especially the war in Annan, has not been settled for many years. People surrendered and rebelled, and rebelled and surrendered again. The money consumed was like gold and silver, and the imperial palace was almost empty. If there was an economic development zone, it would not be possible.  Should we fix this loophole?" Xue Heng was a little confused. If it was for the imperial court, then the economic development zone would be more likely to be developed. At least if a letter is sent, Yang Rong would not object.  "Support? If this economic development zone is to be built, new policies must be implemented. What are the new policies? Taxation system,Both the political system and the official system must be changed. Moreover, the New Deal requires a large number of manpower. Where will these people come from?  Can't you come from the countryside?  The royal power of the Ming Dynasty did not go to the countryside, but relied on these rural rich people. The foundation has changed, and the court must also change.  After all the changes, can Yang Rong and the others still maintain their positions as elders?  If there is no position of Pavilion Elder, what will they use to organize the world?  Fang Buli scratched his head and said, "Which god is it that understands my plan of killing three birds with one stone so clearly?"  When did such a talented person appear in the capital?  Why have I never met him?  " "According to what you said, could it be Zhou Buji?  After all, your plan directly affects the foundation of the Huashan Sect, and based on Zhou Buyi's resourcefulness, it should be obvious.  "Xue Heng held his chin with one hand and frowned. "Impossible. Anyone who can see my plan must have many years of experience in controlling the overall situation and have sufficient knowledge of local gentry, farmers, industry, businessmen and even the underworld.  learn.  Although Zhou Buyi fulfilled the latter requirement, he was just the leader of a martial arts sect. How could he see through it?  "Fang Buli said disdainfully. But at the same time, he said in his heart: "Unless he is a time traveler like me, but how can there be such a coincidence in this world?  But according to the original work, the leader of Huashan after the sword fight should have been Ning Qinglin and then Yue Buqun, but now it is Zhou Buyi He is a time traveler, so it is not impossible.  "(To be continued)
