Chapter 676: The Power of Control

Cheng Weigao naturally had a reason to be happy. Under the Ming Dynasty, Yuejing City was not to mention that Zhengyang County has always been a national granary and could not compare with. However, Yongping County was not inferior to Shayang County in the past. However, in recent years, Shayang County followed His Majesty the Emperor and rode on a fast horse and left Yongping County without a trace. Now, in terms of total economic output, Shayang County is only a little worse than Yuejing City. In addition to these, Taiping City, which rose from a deep mountain forest, is far inferior to Yongping County in terms of natural conditions, but the total economic output has also steadily surpassed Yongping. Daye City is the iron capital of the Ming Dynasty. Relying on Taiping Iron Mine, an emerging city is emerging in the mountains. Taiping and Daye are like two pearls in the deep mountains, bright and bright, but it has made Yongping County a little overshadowed.

If there are some objective reasons beyond Yongping County, Changyang County has developed steadily over the past six months, and the development speed is now amazing. Ma Xiangnan, the county magistrate, was a Chu native, but he spared no effort for the development of Changyang County. In the Ming Dynasty, he was teased by many officials as the most shameless official. As long as he can win a little bit of benefits for Changyang County, this person will definitely be the first to rush forward and wrap his face up with a shy face, which often makes others agree to his request without any help.

Ma Xiangnan got the nickname of shamelessness, but Changyang County has gained real benefits. Now the people of Changyang County who are outflowing are slowly returning, and Baoqing Port is becoming more and more prosperous. Merchant ships from Qi and Chu dock here, transporting ships of goods in and out, and it has also become one of the most stable tax sources for Changyang County. The first seaship in Baoqing Shipyard is about to leave the factory. When the shipyard is on track, it will inevitably lead the economy of Changyang County to a new level.

If Changyang County was surpassed, Cheng Weigao felt that his face would be lost. The Ming Dynasty now clearly focused on the domestic economy and people's livelihood. To put it bluntly, it was to make money desperately, make the people rich, and make the country rich. How to make Yongping County run forward, catch up and even surpass Shayang County and Zhengyang County, Cheng Weigao almost wanted to break his head.

The so-called "When I was sleeping, someone brought a pillow," said Cheng Weigao at that time. When he was in a state of confusion, Xianyutong came.

Xian Yutong and Cheng Weigao have been old acquaintances for many years. This person was the first strategist under Xiao Qiang. His arrival immediately allowed Cheng Weigao to see a prosperous road to get rich.

If the trade roads between Dazhi, Taiping, Shayang, Yongping and Hulaoguan can be successfully opened, the biggest beneficiary will undoubtedly be Yongping County. The large amount of materials needed by Qin will continue to enter from Yongping County, and as the final distribution center of goods, the entire Yongping will benefit from it. The most important thing for Yongping County is that the final distribution site for goods will be built in the most impoverished place in Yongping County, which is not just a problem of one plus one equals two.

This is also the reason why he strongly supports this project. However, he, who was determined to bring the economy of Yongping County to a new level, ignored the political factors hidden after opening up this business road.

It can be said that if this business road is open, the domestic political situation of Qin, which was already a bit chaotic, would be even more chaotic. The Ming Dynasty needed the Qin State to be chaotic, but how chaotic it was worth exploring. The Ming Dynasty is now committed to the domestic people's livelihood economy and does not want to launch an external expansion war at this stage. If the political situation of Qin State reached a certain level and even in danger of a civil war breaking out, the Ming Dynasty would not be prepared accordingly, and then it would inevitably lose the opportunity. Chu State and Qi State would inevitably take advantage of the situation. If this ending came to an end, it would be that the Ming Dynasty had worked hard to water the crops for a year, but when it was about to harvest, it was cut off by someone else's sickle.

The Qin Dynasty’s Yongdu’s abacus was already very obvious. They wanted to support another force and compete with the Deng family. The best way was to poach people from the Deng family. One rose and the other fell, which was an exponential benefit. Although the Bian family was defeated, they still had considerable strength. If one was built and joined with the Bian family, it would create a situation in the country again. Only in this situation can the royal family have the greatest say.

Now the Deng family is dominant, and Deng Hong has become the first king of the Qin Dynasty with a different surname. In Yongdu, the royal power has been infinitely weakened. This political situation is naturally not what the Qin royal family wants.

It was precisely because Xiao Qiang saw this situation and decided that the court would spare no effort to support him. He took the risk and did not hesitate to get into the Deng family's evil deeds, but also seized this opportunity.

In Xiao Qiang's view, if Qin State can have the Bian and Deng State, why can't Xiao State be there in the future? After years of green leaves, it has finally been cultivated. Xiao Qiang naturally hopes that this flower can be beautifully placed on the land of Qin State and smiled and proudly in the spring breeze.

"Your Majesty, this is a bit difficult to operate, it's hard to grasp!" Quan Yun scratched his head and said in embarrassment, "Cheng Weigao's mind is now full of his mind to take Yongping County to a higher level. It's better to overtake Shayang Zhengyang. He will definitely spare no effort in Yongping to promote this matter."

"I have already told Xian Yutong and Feng Qicun that this is a local affairs in Yongping County and has nothing to do with the court." Qin Feng smiled: "So Cheng Weigao first used the power of their county. There are many rich people in Yongping County. Our Lord Cheng is one of them, right? With such a huge business opportunity, I think these rich people will definitely sharpen their heads and want to get a share of the pie. There is no need for us to pay for the large amount of funds for this start-up. Naturally, these people pay for it. Chief Supervisor, why don't we do it?"

"I'm afraid that he will be too active and do it too fast, and it will inevitably make the court embarrassed by that time!" Quan Yun also laughed.

"I can't get up." Qin Feng shook his head: "If you want to mobilize funds, collect civilians, build roads, bridges, and build forts and villages, you have to coordinate with the counties. After all this is done, how can you do it in less than a year or two?"

"But as long as you move, how could Deng's family not get the news?" Quan Yun asked.

"What are you afraid of when you get the news? Yongping County's own work has nothing to do with the court." Qin Feng smiled: "It's great that we'll just restrain Yongping County's behavior at that time."

The two of them looked at each other and laughed.

"When the time comes, we will determine whether our efforts to follow this business road are big or small, and how much we need to go!" Qin Feng said.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"If this matter really needs to be effective, it will be late summer and early autumn. It will be almost half a year. I will ignore him for the time being. Let the Commerce Department move first. Although the road is still steep, the small caravan can still pass by. We should also give Xiao Qian some sweetness and a reassurance."

"That's right." Quan Yun smiled and said, "No matter what, the two counties outside Hulao Pass have real benefits. When we take someone else's, our hands are a little soft. We have to loosen our fingers and go out."

"Let's do this first. No matter what, we are all at ease, but domestic affairs are a bit troublesome." Qin Feng picked up a memorial from the case and handed it to Quan Yun.

"We must find a way to solve the situation in Zhengyang County. When Liu Xingwen advanced to Zhengyang, the gentry in Zhengyang County surrendered too quickly and too neatly. Except for one Xu family, the others basically did not move. This also made it impossible for us to transform Zhengyang County drastically."

"Your Majesty, even if that's the case, it's good!" Quan Yun said: "Zhengyang County has always been a granary for the country. Zhengyang has something to do, and Yuejing is shocked. At least this year, Zhengyang's grain has been continuously entering Yuejing City, ensuring the stability of the Ming Dynasty when the Ming Dynasty was first established."

"But now, the administrative reforms implemented by the court are struggling in Zhengyang County, and the issuance of new currencies is even more difficult to move forward. Zhengyang County has almost become an exception for the Ming Dynasty, which is absolutely untolerable." Qin Feng snorted. "If we don't solve the problem now, will we delay the problem and make up for the problem in the future?"

"Your Majesty, Zhengyang's important land should not be moved lightly, nor should it be moved rashly. You need to take it slowly and find a suitable opportunity. The measures of Zhengyang County are just small means in the officialdom. In the eyes of the people, they are loyal to Your Majesty. If they attack those powerful people at this time, they will inevitably give people a sense of killing donkeys. Your Majesty, Zhengyang's powerful tyrants who fought back were praised and told the world by His Majesty." Quan Yun advised. "And, spring plowing is about to be about to be plowed. If you take action at this time, Zhengyang will inevitably be in chaos. If the spring plowing is affected, it will affect you for a whole year. This is inconsistent with Your Majesty's strategy of enriching the country and the people."

"Time, time!" Qin Feng sighed, "Wang Hou will go to Zhengyang County soon to inspect the administrative reforms there. He is experienced and knows all the small things in the officialdom. If he cannot successfully solve some of the things in Zhengyang County, it is to force me to take action. I hope they can understand that the Minister of Personnel will personally supervise the matter, which is the first and only in the country."

"Shangshu Wang is still stronger and has experienced in the officialdom for a long time. It is best to have him deal with this matter. The best way is to turn the contradictions into invisible."

"But this is equivalent to raising the pustule bigger and bigger."

"Your Majesty, as long as the reform of the administration is implemented, he will have the possibility of independent treatment. Perhaps this pustule will be slowly calmed down! Before we take power, we need a fierce revolution, but now, I hope it is a moderate change."
