The Master of Form and Meaning of Huashan Qizong

Chapter 73 The evil star is gone?

The economic development zone was finally built.The new emperor started the foundation, and the funeral of the late emperor has not yet been completed. A coronation ceremony and a funeral of the late emperor have exhausted the savings of the national treasury.Where can there be a big fight?What's more, not to mention the strength and prosperity of the Bili Kingdom, it is also far away thousands of miles away, and there is even a vast sea blocking it. If you really want to make an expedition to the Bli Kingdom, you must conquer with an army of 50, followed by civilian husbands, mules and horses who help the army transfer More than one million yuan, if a battle is fought, whether it can be wiped out or not, let alone lose eight miles, the waste in the country is light.As far as the current family property of the imperial court is concerned, this battle cannot be fought.

Yang Rong knew these things very well, and that letter was just a test.Fang Buli thought about these things in a blink of an eye. What he was worried about was that before the economic development zone was built, external forces would intervene and it would collapse halfway.Fortunately, it is not the Hongzhi and Zhengde years when the cabinet was almost like a prime minister, and the civil society is in the ascendant. As long as the prosperous noble family is not offended, everything is negotiable.

But this time it also sounded a wake-up call for Fang Buli. Places like Shaanxi have few people and a lot of traffic, and the transportation is not very convenient, and it happens to be bordered by barbarians outside the Great Wall. There are too many eyes staring at it, and the local forces are intertwined. Wanting to make this place a fulcrum for leveraging new industries is a bit poor, far less suitable than Zhezhilai.Therefore, the scale of the Shaanxi-Henan New Development Zone is much smaller than expected.

But even so, the high-ranking martial arts masters of the Huashan faction also felt the pressure brought by the economic development zone to the Huashan faction, or to themselves...

Inside Huairen Hall of Chaoyang Peak of Huashan School

The hall was gloomy, everyone had a sad face, resting their chin on one hand, knocking on the table with the other hand, the table was shaking, obviously these masters in the martial arts were full of thoughts, I couldn't hold my strength, and I was about to tear down the table.Maybe not everyone.Because at least Zhou Buyi and Cui Bupo are calm and composed, and Zhou Buyi is still drinking tea leisurely.

"Brother, I can't keep silent like this." Hu Bugui couldn't hold back, and walked in front of Zhou Buyi, "The tenants in the Tongguan Zhuangzi left yesterday hundreds, and now half of the Tongguan Zhuangzi are gone. People plow the fields, and the grown wheat is short of hands to harvest. If we wait until the first frost, this year's harvest will be in vain. Without the harvest, let alone what our Huashan faction eats. Even this year's autumn grain will not be handed in. .”

Zhou Buyi stared straight at Hu Bugui, as if he was massacring some kind of monster, until Hu Bugui got a little hairy, and then he said, "You think I don't know? What can I do? Lower the rent." In the past two years, our Huashan faction’s rent has dropped again and again, which is already the lowest in Shaanxi. If it drops again? If it drops again, we will pay you back! If you have any strange ideas, just tell me!” Zhou said Buji slapped the table hard and scolded.

Hu Bugui said in embarrassment: "But...but we can't wait like this. Sit and eat..." Seeing Zhou Buyi staring at him without saying a word, seeing Zhou Buyi's cold eyes that could drip into ice, Hu Bugui Gui Yue spoke in a softer voice until the end.It was barely audible, and he returned to his seat.But don't look at his obedience on the face, but he is very wronged in his heart, it's all for the Huashan faction.It is indeed too much for Zhou Buyi to say that about him.

"Junior brother Hu, don't worry, senior brother already has a countermeasure." Seeing Zhou Buyi get angry.Cui Bupo hurried out to be a peacemaker, took out an account book, opened it page by page and said to everyone, "These mines have already been in our hands through bidding, and Junior Brother Cui also went to Tongguan I have opened several workshops and shops. Now there are no fewer people living in the property under the name of Huashan School than before. The monthly income is much higher than before, which is enough to meet the two taxes this year."

"What's the use of having money? The court's two taxes are all food, silk and hemp. This money..." Hu Bugui was a little hesitant, no wonder he, the Ming court or since the Warring States period, the Central Plains have practiced Taxes in kind are all collected from things like silk, rice, cotton, and spices. There has never been a precedent for directly collecting money.No matter how much silver there is, what is the use?At that time, we will have to spend more time to buy and transport, and the extra money will be spent, so it is not as good as the previous ones.

At this time, Zhou Buyi, whose face was as silent as water, didn't know why, but there was a little smile on his face; "That's the old calendar, thank you Fang Buli. The Futai Yamen ordered that this year's autumn tax will not be collected in kind, only money But that's right, isn't Fang Buli an economic development zone? Isn't he going to prosper? If he also collects grain, oil, silk and hemp, how can he prosper? How can he continue his development zone?"

"Fang Buli is not afraid...isn't he afraid that our Huashan faction will grow again through his east wind? It has grown to the point where he can't deal with it even if he is ruthless?" Hu Bugui couldn't believe that Fang Buli would leave such a big loophole for him. The Huashan faction drilled, and it also allowed the Huashan faction to gather so many people and establish such a large industry.Logically speaking, it shouldn't be, isn't he here to clean up Huashan?

"Economic development zone. If you want to start an industrial revolution in Shaanxi, can the Huashan faction get around it?" Zhou Buyi's eyes were crescent-shaped with a smile. That's right, the reason why Yang Rong in the capital wrote that letter was that Zhou Buyi was behind him. Manipulating, he had someone bribe one of Yang Rong's cleanups, and presented him with a letter.Qingke got the money, and got the attention of the master, and the Huashan faction got Fang Buli's contraction, and they can take advantage of this shareholder wind to develop, why not do it?

"Industrial Revolution? Revolution? Revolution...Could it be...Could it be that Fang Buli...wanted to rebel? Brother Sect Master, what a great opportunity!" Hearing the word revolution, everyone suddenly became excited.Revolution, from the Book of Changes. Ge Gua Tuanci, the original sentence is Tangwu Revolution, which conforms to the sky and responds to people.The word revolution has been synonymous with rebellion since ancient times.If Fang Buli got involved with the rebellion... hehe, how strong his family was in the past, the days after that would be so sad.If it doesn't work out, Xue Liuzi, the leading figure in Jingnan's noble circle, can be included in it. If it can be done like this, that would be a great thing.

"What kind of rebellion. The industrial revolution refers to... (I won't lie about the number of words here, and friends who are interested can Baidu by themselves, if you fall asleep in the history class in middle school.)" Zhou Buyi explained for a long time, and finally let all Huashan Pai's knights understood the profound meaning of the industrial revolution.By the way, I told a few jokes about the use of economic means to bring down a country by later generations.After listening to it, everyone looked at Zhou Buyi as if they were looking at God. They had never heard of these things before, and it was amazing that the senior brother in charge actually said the truth.

At the same time, they were also afraid for a while. They didn't expect Fang Buli to be so powerful. If it weren't for Zhou Buyi, Fang Buli would be able to turn the Huashan School into a historical synonym without using a weapon.

Winter went to spring, and the first year of Hongxi passed away when Emperor Hongxi passed away.In the new year, the Yuan was changed to Xuande, and Zhu Zhanji, the most beloved grandson of Emperor Yongle Zhu Di, finally ushered in his own era.In other words, Fang Buli finally ushered in his own era.It was finally time for him to show his talents.

After more than half a year of construction, massive investment, and the infinite compression of the original plan, the Shaanxi Economic Development Zone has been completed.There are tens of thousands of workshops and nearly a thousand shops.For the two taxes in the first year of Xuande, the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen transported millions of taels of silver to the capital, which was ten times or dozens of times that of previous years.Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, grinned happily from ear to ear. For so many years, during the Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition, the treasury was so empty that it could run away from mice.Now after the New Deal, the Ministry of Household Affairs finally has surplus food.In this way, Xia Yuanji lost a few strands of hair,

It was precisely because of Xia Yuanji's support that the Shaanxi New Deal was approved by the court. At least from an official point of view, no one could accuse Fang Buli of violating the ancestral system.Just when Fang Buli rejoiced for this and was about to flex his muscles to get rid of the "cancer" of the Huashan faction, he was transferred to Shaanxi, where Fang Buli... returned to Beijing. (To be continued..)
