After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Zhongli Qiuyang and Cheng Yiren were not the only ones at the gate of Linshui City.

There are also five hundred Zhongli Qiuyang's personal guards.

There were also neighbors in Linshui City and businessmen who settled here who got the news.

A large number of people stood on both sides of the city gate, all of them eagerly awaiting the arrival of the regent!

The name of the regent is now extremely loud in the entire Ning Kingdom, especially in the hearts of the businessmen.

Thanks to the new policies implemented by the regent to boost industry and commerce, Ningguo's business is now gradually becoming more active.

Barriers to the movement of merchants that once existed between the various states have been completely removed.

No more city entry tax.

There is no need to go to the government to issue directions.

The local government no longer dared to collect those messy exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes from the merchants. The local government even strongly encouraged the merchants to build workshops under their rule.

This is a huge change!
In the past, it was almost impossible to invest in building a workshop in other places. Not only was it restricted by household registration, but if you were powerless, you would be devastated by the local government.

it's good now.

Nowadays, officials in those places will even take the initiative to find big merchants in other places and invite these merchants to set up workshops under their rule. The procedures have become extremely simple, and there are even many preferential policies.

This took a long time for businessmen who had been suppressed for a long time to get used to it.

After some bold businessmen tried, more businessmen took action.

Especially in Jiangnan Province.

The business atmosphere here is already strong, and the ability to accept new things is stronger than elsewhere.

As a result, Jiangnan Road gradually had more businessmen from Shuzhou and more businessmen from Lingdong Road.

Of course, many merchants from Jiangnan Road also invested their industries in Shuzhou or Lingdong Road and other places, which gradually took the form of commercial complementarity.

A new atmosphere has gradually and quietly taken shape.

Now, the regent has returned safely, which has given all the merchants in Ningguo a reassurance.

After all, this policy was formulated when the regent left Kyoto two years ago. After the regent left Kyoto and went to Wu State, many businessmen waited and watched for a while.

Now that the regent is back, and I heard that he will also become the emperor of Ning, this policy will inevitably continue, and it is very likely that more new policies that are conducive to business behavior will be introduced.

This naturally makes all businessmen look forward to it.

Just under the afterglow of the setting sun.

Just outside Linshui City, in the sight of tens of thousands of people, a fast horse galloped towards us!

A voice came from afar:

"Admiral...the regent's guard of honor is coming...!"

The fast horse was approaching, and a general leaped off the horse. He came to the Navy Admiral Zhong Li Qiuyang, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and saluted, "Report to the Admiral, the Regent's honor guard is only a few miles away!"

"it is good!"

Zhongli Qiuyang lifted his cloak, got on his horse, and waved his hand:
"You are here to maintain order, and I, the Admiral, will personally greet the Prince Regent!"

He and Cheng Yi rode away, and the people at the city gate suddenly became more excited.

Among the crowd, there was a middle-aged man in fine clothes, standing on tiptoes and looking at the end of the official road. He withdrew his gaze and looked at an old man beside him.

"Mr. Chen, just now you always said that the Chen family from Yingzhou was planning to visit Beimo Road..."

"I am the one who came to Jiangnan Road from Beimo Road ten years ago. Even if I don't know Beimo Road very well, I still have a relatively clear understanding of the situation in that place."

"Let's not talk about the danger of the Great Wilderness to Bei Mo Dao, let's talk about the officialdom of Bei Mo Dao... Speaking of which, almost all the officialdom of Bei Mo Dao are upright officials, but let's be honest, those so-called upright officials are It doesn’t change the North Desert Road much.”

"Of course, there may be many reasons for this."

"For example, the imperial court did not pay attention to the Northern Desert Road, so it ignored that place when formulating national policies."

"For example, Beimo Road is already very poor. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice. Those officials don't have much money in their hands, so they don't have much achievements." "Other than these, as far as the local environment of Beimo Road is concerned... Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, Mr. Chen, although I haven’t been able to visit all the sixteen states of Bei Mo Dao, I heard that almost all of them are barren and poor!”

"The Chen family in Yingzhou is engaged in the tea and smelting business... I have never heard of any famous tea being produced in Beimo Road. There are many mountains, but I have never heard of any mines with rich reserves!"

"If we really go to Beimo Road... wouldn't it be better to go to Lingdong Road?"

The old man known as Chen Gong stroked his long beard and grinned:
"Tongzhi, you really speak from the bottom of your heart."

"Before this, we, the Chen family of Yingzhou, did not have any plans to open up the Northern Desert Road. But after hearing what happened after the regent went to the Northern Desert Road, the Chen family of Yingzhou summoned the family elites to hold a clan meeting. , and made a plan to operate the Northern Desert Road."

"It's a long story. Your Xie family has a lot of business dealings with my Chen family, and your Xie family is more familiar with Beimo Road than my Chen family."

"After Mr. Xiang of the Yuzhou Xiang family arrives in Linshui City, let's all work together and I will tell you in detail about the possible changes in Beimo Road!"

"By the way, I'm afraid you don't know that there is a talented person in the Xiang family in Yuzhou. His name is Xiang Qingyun."

"In the autumn of last year, he was nominated for the gold medal, and was later personally received by Chief Minister Wen. It is said that his remarks made Chief Minister Wen admire him very much. It's just that we in Ningguo don't have an emperor yet, so that's why he was not selected as the number one scholar!"

"However, Xiang Qingyun has been kept by Chief Wen's side. He has not yet been given an official position. Apparently, he is waiting for the regent to return to Beijing before making a decision!"

"Xiang Qingyun said that he was doing odd jobs in the center, but in fact, what he came into contact with were the most core secrets of Ningguo!"

"Mr. Xiang, Mr. Xiang from Yuzhou, is a very discerning person!"

"Last year last year, he sent his second-in-command, Xiang Huaixian, to Beimo Road. Not long after Xiang Qingyun stayed with Wen Shoufu, he also sent his third-in-command, Xiang Huaiyu, to Beimo Road. Mo Dao..."

"You taste it, then you combine it with the Yanjing City built in Youzhou to taste it carefully... Although the Yanjing City now only has one city wall, since the regent named it Jing..."

Xie Tongju opened his mouth in astonishment, he understood!

But he couldn't believe it!
"Didn't you say that even if Kyoto is moved, it will be moved to Changle City?"

Chen Dingmao smiled slightly again, "Changle City is only dozens of miles away from Yujing City. Is it necessary?"

Xie Tongju was puzzled again and said:
"But that place in Yanjing City is really desolate?!"

"It's desolate now. If more people go there, it won't be desolate anymore!"

Xie Tongju pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and bowed his hands: "Thank you Mr. Chen for your advice. If Mr. Chen from Yingzhou wants to go on a field trip to Beimo Road, I, Mr. Xie, would like to be your guide!"

"it is good……"

"Mr. Chen, I heard that Su Mingtang, the head of the Jiangsu family in Ping, will arrive in Linshui City soon... Could it be that the Su family also has this plan?"

Chen Dingmao raised his head and looked into the distance.

"The head of the Su family came to Linshui City for two reasons."

"The first one, Su Meng, the granddaughter of a famous cousin, is the fiancée of Wang Zhenghaoxuan, the son of Lord Si Tiju of the Imperial City, Wang Zheng Jinzhong."

"This boy Wang Zhenghaoxuan is the real brother of the Regent!"

"The second one...is the eldest son of a famous cousin, Su Yian. He is a minister under the sect, and he was personally invited by the regent last year!"

"The Jiangnan Su family is so developed!"

"My famous cousin naturally wants to come here to pay homage to the Regent. As the leader of merchants in the south of the Yangtze River... of course he must lead the way and set an example for the Regent's new policies!"

"I came here mainly because I wanted to meet my famous cousin and hear his opinions."

Chen Dingmao understood.

In Jiangnan Road, a Shang family fell and a Su family rose.

This is the current situation.

So how will the situation change in the future?
Chen Dingmao raised his head and looked at the official road.

Everything is tied to that one person.

This is everyone's hope! (End of chapter)
