Chapter 151 Ren Weizan

Two days later, Gao Yigong, Zhang Nai, Huimei and Shuangxi left 100,000 taels of silver and left Yangzhou with a thousand flintlock spears. Although Shuangxi was reluctant to leave, she could face Huiying calmly and said goodbye with generous fists. On this day, Sun Chuanting summoned more than ten famous celebrities including Hou Fangyu, Chen Zhenhui, Mao Xiang and others to discuss state affairs.

Hou Fangyu planned to conduct a military farming proposal, and he planned to invest ten points, including official camps, military camps, military camps, civil camps, and Shang camps, with ten thousand words, and was very skilled and prepared. However, he forgot one thing: the fields in the south of the Yangtze River were all masters, and most of the official fields were occupied. Where did the fields come from to farm for Sun Chuanting? What's more, Sun Chuanting had a half-year deadline, and he couldn't wait for rice.

Chen Zhenhui's advice: When reading the books of the saint, he knew the meaning of fighting thieves. However, he knew that he would eliminate traitors for the country and did not hesitate to make trouble for his own business. Now the bandits are in chaos, but the villain is insidious and unpredictable, and he is rampant and unscrupulous. If he does not punish him early, it will cause disaster to the Xiao Wall and endanger the accompanying capital.

This is commonly known as the "Putting the U.S. must first stabilize the country before fighting against foreign countries. However, Nanjing has many factions, including Donglin, Fushe, eunuchs, nobles led by the Xu family of Wei, and emerging gentry. In addition to 10,000 Beijing soldiers, Sun Chuanting had no foundation in Nanjing. If he implemented the strategy of stabilizing the country, he could only unite one faction to suppress another faction. Not to mention being used as a gun envoy, would the faction he connected with was really willing to obey?

Chen Zhenhui's purpose was to induce Sun Chuanting to suppress Donglin and enter the political stage.

Fushe's political proposition is almost consistent with Donglin. The difference between the two is reflected in one being in the opposition, one being in the court, and one being a young and strong sect, whose words and deeds are often radical, while the other is mostly adults and who acts in a mature and persistent manner. Fushe regards some Donglin party members as predecessors, such as Qian Qianyi, Huang Daozhou, Ma Shiqi, Liu Tongsheng, Chen Zizhuang, etc., but they are unwilling to hide behind the scenes, and always want to go to the political front and replace Donglin.

At the same time, Fushe believes that the Ming Dynasty has a lot to do with the rule of the Donglin Party members. It is Donglin that ruined the country, but Fushe ignored one thing: their political and economic foundations completely overlap with Donglin. Even if Donglin is replaced, Fushe will only be another Donglin.

Mao Xiang was from Rugao, and his family was known as the richest man in Rugao. Because Rugao was located in Jiangbei and had been captured by the revolutionary army, his position was contrary to Hou Fangyu and Chen Zhenhui. He advocated to be sincere and motivated by righteousness, and convinced Li Xin to sincerely join the court.

After a talk, Sun Chuanting was very disappointed, which made him see clearly that Fushe was worse than Donglin. Although Donglin formed a clique for personal gain, he was at least a man of work. Fushe was a boastful person. However, he summoned Fushe people, not to listen to political opinions, but to use Fushe as a knife envoy to drive away a group of young generals to charge for him. Therefore, he comforted him with kind words and promised his official position, and temporarily served as Hou Fangyu. Chen Zhenhui and Mao Xiang were to praise him and stayed with him to help with military affairs.

As the name suggests, the Praise Painting means planning. It is roughly equivalent to the aides of the governor of the Qing Dynasty. Its status is second to the military advisor. It is mainly because although Sun Chuanting was in charge of Nanjing, he had no power of personnel appointment and removal. The official position also requires the following of the Nanjing Ministry of Personnel. This requires a considerable process of exchange of interests and testing, not to mention that Sun Chuanting did not mean to seek an official position for them.

However, after receiving the position of Zanhua, the three of them were already very satisfied. After saying goodbye to Sun Chuanting, Hou Fangyu laughed and said, "Today, the Mongolian army appreciates it, gather as a confidant. Let's go back to Meixianglou and have two drinks."

Chen Zhenhui nodded and smiled, "Pijiang, call your Yuanyuan too, everyone is lively!"

Mao Xiang's confidante is Chen Yuanyuan. Although Dong Xiaowan is obsessed with Mao Xiang, she is not welcomed. It was not until Chen Yuanyuan was snatched away by someone sent by Tian Guojiu that Dong Xiaowan gradually entered Mao Xiang's heart.

"Okay, I'll go back!"

Mao Xiang was very refreshing and bowed to leave.

In fact, the people in Fushe knew each other well and made a tacit understanding of the future. Mao Xiang was thinking about how to get a large sum of silver from home and comb the cage for Chen Yuanyuan, and first took a period of time to wait until the freshness faded, and then exchanged with Chen Yuanyuan for Gu Hengbo and Li Xiangjun. He even fantasized about the situation where the six people were sleeping together. He called Chen Yuanyuan, mainly to narrow the distance between them.

About half an hour later, beyond Chen Zhenhui and Hou Fangyu's expectations, Mao Xiang actually brought back Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan. The two women were handkerchiefs, just like Kou Baimen and Bian Yujing, almost inseparable.

This is an unexpected surprise!

When it comes to beauty, Dong Xiaowan is not as good as Chen Yuanyuan, but she has a unique cool charm and is also a popular young apprentice!

...

Before we knew it, a month passed, and the land of Jianghuai was already in full bloom. Gaoyou's hydroweaving factory officially started construction a few days ago. The production capacity is staggering, and people can't help but worry about whether the raw materials can be supplied.

Lianghuai Salt Industry Corporation was officially put into operation half a month ago. Due to the abolition of salt induction, in addition to the large-scale wholesale of salt merchants, there are also Yangzhou citizens who have suffered enough salt merchants. Although the wholesale price is lower than the retail price, the selling price is still about half the cheaper than before, and the quality is far higher than private salt. For a moment, the purchases were sensational, and some people helped relatives and friends buy it.

Li Xin didn't care. He only had money. At present, his gross profit every day was around 10,000 taels. Just one Lianghuai Salt Industry Corporation is enough to support the entire army, and it has potential to be tapped. For example, if you have free time in the future, he will start decomposing and refining the brine.

Because Yangzhou has seized tens of thousands of acres of land, Yangzhou Agricultural Cooperation Company was established not long ago. It takes large agriculture and large collectives as the guiding idea and takes the path of cooperation. However, the specific implementation must be after the wheat harvest this season.

The "China Daily", which Li Xin attaches most importance to, also issued its first issue in January, comparing it with modern newspapers. It belongs to the list level, with a total of 10,000 copies. The plan is for each prefecture in Yangzhou to issue 5,000, Huai'an Prefecture and 4,000, Nanjing. At present, the latter two can only be secretly transported into the city and delivered for free.

Li Xin also found that it was unrealistic to overestimate the efficiency of movable type printing, and it was unrealistic to use movable type typesetting efficiency to be one copy a day. In the end, the "China Daily" was changed to issue one issue in three days. Fortunately, people did not pay too much attention to the timeliness of news at that time.

In the early morning, hawkers carrying newspapers crossed the river by boat. Because Yangzhou corresponds to Zhenjiang and is not on the same line as Nanjing, it was not until the afternoon that hundreds of hawkers dressed by clever soldiers entered the city from each gate. Although the sky gradually became dark, darkness also covered their actions.

Just like when leaflets were distributed in previous lives, hawkers stuffed newspapers into cracks in doors of large households or larger shops, famous brothels were also the focus of distribution.

The bright lights of Meixiang Building are hanging high at night, unlike in the past. Over the past few days, there have been more talks and criticisms of Fang Qiao. Because of Fang Yu, Chen Zhenhui and Mao Xiang were appointed by Sun Chuanting to praise him, and there are obviously more political topics.

Li Xiangjun and Gu Hengbo looked at their man with admiration. Chen Yuanyuan was also envious and wished that Mao Xiang could get the money immediately and comb the cage for him. Dong Xiaowan was secretly sad because Mao Xiang's gaze had never stopped on her.

If you want to say disdain, it is still Kou Baimen and Bian Yujing. They saw it clearly. They always felt that Hou Fangyu and others were talking big, and based on their female intuition, they realized that Sun Chuanting might have ulterior motives.

"Hedong Jun is here!"

At this time, someone turned around and greeted him, and saw Liu Rushi Yingying walking into the yard, holding a stack of paper in her hand.
