"Welcome to you, my friend, the Lord God Mazda is with you!"

"Oh, be together."

Zhou Faming nodded to the two Persian Hu people who were welcoming guests at the door and strode to the residence. His wife and entourage followed closely behind, both of whom were familiar with each other. The group seemed to have just entered the city.

In the hot summer, Nanchang is very stuffy, but the store is cooler. After all, the huge ice cubes are placed in the hall, and it feels cool just by looking at it.

The shopkeeper who rushed over to the backyard after hearing the news brought Zhou Faming and his wife into the backyard. Zhou Faming was very satisfied with the decoration of the residence and smiled and said, "I said Lao Li, your storefront is good and has a good appearance. If it weren't for the Nanchang semicolon written on the plaque, I would have thought it was now in the Fanyu semicolon."

"Ah, the second boss is joking. How dare you compare the Nanchang semicolon with the Fanyu semicolon?"

"That's not necessarily. Nanchang is in good momentum now." Zhou Faming looked through the account book handed over by the shopkeeper, and only looked at it for a moment before handing it over to his wife.

For Zhou Faming, of course, a wife must be responsible for the matter of accounting, and a man must focus on the right path.

The right way, of course, refers to the officialdom and battlefield.

Zhou Faming is one of the owners of this residence. Now he has brought his family back to the Central Plains from Lingbiao. When he passed by Nanchang, he came to the semi-colon and asked his wife to get familiar with the Nanchang semi-colon so that he would be able to take charge of the accounts in the future.

Or "financial management", after all, Zhongyuan and Lingbei are different, and daily expenses are much larger.

Since the imperial court pacified Dingling Biao, Zhou Faming, who went to war with the army, has remained in Guangzhou to become an official. This took five years. After experiencing many ups and downs, Zhou Faming has grown a lot and has experienced much more sophistication.

Zhou Faming has done everything by leading troops to suppress rebellions, suppressing bandits, drilling into mountains and valleys, dealing with civil affairs, persuading farming and sericulture, and promoting commerce and trade.

Others say that the land of Lingbei is in a smoky place, and it is a fear of being an official. He doesn't think so. Although the climate on Lingbei is indeed different from the Central Plains, in fact, as long as you are strong, pay attention to your diet, and pay attention to preventing mosquitoes, it is not that difficult to resist.

Not to mention that the government office has a large supply of ice, which allows officials from all over the mountains to calmly cross the hot summer days.

When he thought of ice, Zhou Faming thought of money. He had never thought that selling ice on the Lingbing table would be so profitable.

Ice is common in the Central Plains in winter, but no one ever thought about passing by Lingbiao to sell ice cubes on a large scale. But King Bin thought of it, and then it was a profitable road to wealth.

The Maritime Bureau vigorously carried out the "Northern Ice Sales" trade. Today, the demand for ice cubes and the rapid increase in the number of ice cubes in the coastal states and counties along the Lingbiao can be described as bottomless pits.

The number of sea ships participating in the Maritime Corporation's "Beijing South Sales" fleet has increased year by year, and the "financial management projects" of Rixingchang Guifang are also very popular. When Zhou Faming thinks of his "financial management" dividends, he feels he is dreaming.

Not to mention other industries, Zhou Faming felt that he had to be so stupid to embezzle and accept bribes just by relying on the "financial management" of Rixingchang Guifang.

Manager Li asked someone to send a few newspapers. Zhou Faming took a closer look and found that the date of the latest newspaper was the day before yesterday. Then he felt quite moved: In Fanyu, the Xiyang newspapers he saw were basically published a month ago.

There are newspapers in Xiyang City, which contain a lot of content, government orders, people's livelihood, and commercial affairs. The circulation volume is increasing year by year. More and more people have accepted this new thing, and the "circulation" scope of newspapers has spread from Xiyang to around.

Nanchang, Hongzhou and Xiyang are closely linked to Huangzhou, so newspapers published in Xiyang City are also popular in Nanchang, and caravans traveling between the Central Plains and Lingbiao Guangzhou will bring the newspapers from Xiyang to Guangzhou.

Therefore, officials such as Zhou Faming, who were an official in Guangzhou, rely on newspapers to learn about what happened in Huangzhou and even Shannan.

From one side, Zhou Faming felt that he was in Xiyang, Xiyang, and even the prosperous development of Huangzhou, Hongzhou, Ezhou, and even Jingxiang, and Huaixi. Looking at the newspapers brought by the caravan, Zhou Faming felt that he was in Xiyang.

Now, he saw a "big news": the Guanghuang Railway, which had been built for several years, was fully completed.

Time flies, and when the Guanghuang Railway was being built, Zhou Faming, who was in Guangzhou, found out through the newspaper. Now it seems that in the blink of an eye, the Guanghuang Railway has been repaired, which is really touching.

Thinking of this, Zhou Faming was a little expectant: "Now I happened to pass by Huangzhou, and I had to see the Guangguang Huang Railway no matter what I did."

Manager Li replied after hearing this: "The second boss, I'm afraid he can only see the knowledge for the time being."

"How do you say this?"

"Uh... the railway has just been opened, and according to the newspaper, it is necessary to test the line first to see if the line is smooth, and the stations along the way are still being improved. So what... the train schedule is still being prepared, so the railway will not be open to the public for the time being."

"Is that so? Let's talk about it later."

Zhou Faming said that he had to go to Chang'an after resigning from office and entering Beijing, not to cross the Dabie Mountains to Henan, and to the Huai River. Although he passed by Huangzhou, if he wanted to experience the Guanghuang Railway, it was not actually a "stop road".

In the five years in Lingbiao, the Central Plains changed drastically, the Yuchi family was destroyed, and the Chen Kingdom was destroyed. As today's unification, the peaceful and prosperous era was about to come. Zhou Faming, who was in Lingbiao, became a bystander.

But now he has another appointment when he returns to Beijing, so he is full of hope for the future.

Zhou Faming's brother Zhou Fashang performed well in the position of Xiangzhou General Manager. Now he has returned to Beijing to report his work and has another appointment. The encounter between the two brothers has changed drastically.

Zhou Faming went from being a rebellious general of the Chen State to becoming a talent that was admired by the Zhou State and was civilized by Qi Wangyu. Zhou Faming was appreciated by Bin Wang Yu and Wen Wen, and has been experienced for many years and will be appointed as another person.

And the Chen Kingdom no longer exists, and Jiankang is said to have just been razed to the ground.

When Zhou Faming thought of Jiankang, he felt a little sad. He grew up in Jiankang since he was young, and now the capital of the Six Dynasties has been razed to the ground, so he is naturally a little sad.

Taicheng, Bianhuai Lisi, Qingxi Mansion, Waguan Temple, Zhuquehang, and Changganli were all gone, leaving only the Qinhuai River still flowing.

Speaking of Jiankang and Jiangnan, Manager Li revealed to Zhou Faming the rumor that had just been spread to Hongzhou, that is, the situation in Jiangnan was unstable and people began to cause trouble in many places.

"Making trouble? I'm afraid I'm going to cause trouble. Haha, who is tired of living dares to cause trouble?" Zhou Faming sneered when he heard this, "Are they crazy? Don't you know if the king is in charge of Jiangnan?"

"Who knows how those people think? I guess they are not convinced."

"Acceptance? It has nothing to do with whoever becomes the emperor. These local snakes are annoyed that the court has implemented the equal-field system in Jiangnan!"

Zhou Faming was not a fool, he was very clear about the current situation. The Zhou State implemented the equal-land system, and the three Wu areas in Jiangnan have always been large families. The strong clan had the final say. Whether it was the powerful and local tyrants in the court, they occupied a large amount of land.

These lands will not appear in the yellow book of the government, and there is no need to pay a grain of rice, a piece of silk, or a hemp to the treasury. A large number of hidden households are powerful people, and the powerful people will not pay any rent or transfer in the slightest amount of land.

This is a chronic disease. It has existed since the time of transiting south, which seriously affected the country's income, but the Jiankang court in all dynasties had no choice.

Now, the Chang'an court wants to change the status quo. Although it has exempted the taxes of Jiangnan for ten years, Guangling is the capital and Yangzhou general manager in Jiangnan, Bin Wang Yuwen Wen, will not do anything mediocre.

When Zhou Faming crossed Dayu Ridge, he heard the postman passing by that he said that the Yangzhou General Administration had already begun to raise fields in Jiangnan.

We measure the land, check hidden households, and prepare for the start of rent collection and adjustment in ten years.

In this way, the powerful people from all over the country can still sit still, and they will get angry sooner or later.

"These idiots thought the king was just for the purpose of protecting the field?"

Zhou Faming put the newspaper next to it, got up and walked back and forth in the room: "How did those fools in Huaixi get lost? They don't understand? OK, now, the king will let them know how to write the word 'death'!"

"Who said no? Everyone is ready to wait for the king to give orders."

Manager Li said in a relaxed tone. King Bi has always advocated "making money together". As long as King Bi fights, he will definitely win the battle. Then, everyone's chance to get rich comes.
