In the days when I was dressed as the king of a subjugated country

Not long after it snowed in Liaodong, it also began to snow in Beizhili.Gu Li then began to worry again, worried that there would not be enough charcoal fire in Liaodong, and the officers and soldiers would be frozen.

Jiao Liewei sent him a pond newspaper, saying that the cotton coats, quilts and charcoal are all ready, so that His Majesty need not worry, it is a good thing that it started snowing, which shows that there is a high probability that Jianlu will not go south this year, and a small group of troops will swim It doesn't matter if you attack, in winter, when the walls are solid and the fields are clear, if you pour water on the city wall, the whole city will be frozen in an instant, making it difficult for Jianlu to fish.

Jiao Liewei asked him for credit for his subordinates again, this time it was actually Fu Shaoge.It turned out that Jiao Liewei asked Fu Shaoge to go to Shengjing in private again, and found someone to listen to Abach, so he finally pressed the matter of starting the war.

Fu Shaoge was injured because of this incident. Jiao Liewei said that he didn't mention Fu Shaoge in the Tang newspaper, and he felt very sorry. As for whether to reward him or not, that is of course up to His Majesty.

Gu Li thought for a while, as a ruler, he needs to be rewarded and punished clearly. Fu Shaoge made a mistake and punished him to defend the frontier. A catty of potatoes was sent to Fu Shaoge in Liaodong.

So Fu Shaoge, who finally finished eating the ten catties of potatoes given by Fang Congjian, and then saw the twenty catties of potatoes sent by His Majesty, cracks finally appeared on his usually calm expression.

It's snowing season in the north, so the potatoes planted in summer are almost ready to be harvested.This time potatoes were planted widely, and the price of potatoes finally came down. Gu Li once again suggested in the "Da Chu Morning News" that the common people store their food and eat up the potatoes, and be careful not to eat potatoes that germinate and turn green.

In addition, the official road from North Zhili to South Zhili has finally been repaired.Gu Li really wanted to take a carriage to see for himself.However, the courtiers knew more or less about his private visit recently, and the admonitions had already turned a blind eye, so he didn't say anything, so he didn't want to repeat the slack on the delicate and fragile nerves of these courtiers. If he jumped, if he really wanted to leave Beizhili, he would be stopped by the courtiers desperately.

Prime Minister Mu was quite happy, he left the capital in a carriage, came back in the evening, and told him that the official road used to be paved with stone slabs, it was badly damaged, and it should have been repaired long ago.The craftsmen repaired the road surface with cement and widened the road surface. Now the official road is spacious and flat, and can accommodate eight horse-drawn carriages traveling towards each other.

Gu Li was thinking, the cement road has been paved, when can the asphalt road be put on the agenda?

The cement official road has been repaired, and the officials from the Ministry of Industry have all returned.Cui Shi checked the road construction cost with them at the household department, and confirmed that it was not too different from the budget, so he reported back to Gu Li.Gu Li rewarded some property and silk cloth, and asked the officials of the Ministry of Industry to go back and have a good rest. After all, they will have to build bridges and pave roads next year.

The search for white officers has also come to an end, and other prefectures and counties also have this phenomenon, but it is not as serious as Jiangxi, Huguang, Sichuan, and Guizhou. More than 2000 people have been arrested by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but other places are fine. The total number of white members who came out was no more than one thousand.

Now that the end of the year is here, various cumbersome sacrificial ceremonies are also on the agenda.Every time Gu Li got up from the bed early in the morning, seeing Zhen'er who was sleeping soundly, he would think of one sentence: It's getting cold, it's time for little girl Gu Youzhen to go to school.

Nie Guangyu, Xia Xingcheng and others who built the water conservancy project finally returned to Beijing before the New Year.He diverted a tributary to the upper reaches of Pingyang Mansion, and built a reservoir beside the reclaimed wasteland. The local government has accepted it and sent a memorial to Gu Li, saying that the irrigation volume of the reservoir is enough to cover the reclaimed land, and it is ready. In winter, the people by the Yellow River were moved here, and the area by the Yellow River was vacated to plant trees and reeds.

The magistrate was also newly replaced not long ago. Prime Minister Mu praised the magistrate as quite talented. Gu Li was still worried, so he went to the handbook and told him to pay attention to the methods and means when relocating, and not to force the people to return their farmland to their fields. , some preferential policies can be appropriately issued, such as returning three acres of land to get four acres of new fields and so on.

All the courtiers knew about Gu Li building a reservoir and reclaiming fields.However, he asked the people by the Yellow River to give up the good land to plant trees and reeds. Many people expressed disapproval, and thought that the flooding of the Yellow River was arranged by gods or God. What is the use of planting trees and reeds? Money thrown into the water.

It is very difficult to convince them, because Gu Li can't explain this kind of environmental science to them, so he can only do it under pressure, so the local officials need to be gentle when resettling the people, if there is any forced demolition When the time comes, the people will be full of grievances, and the speech officials will definitely scold them even more.

Nie Guangyu has been busy for more than half a year, and it is time to reward him. Gu Li asked someone to send him money, cloth, and food. As for whether he should be promoted to an official position, it depends on the aftereffects.

The Chinese New Year is almost here, and everyone has worked hard this year. Those who should be rewarded will be rewarded, and those who should be sympathized should also be sympathized.Gu Li asked people to send some condolences to the feudal lords from all over the place, the eunuchs of Zhidian Supervisor, the servants working in Huangzhuang, as well as the families of Xie Xingcun and Wu Laosan.

As for next year's work, it should also be arranged in advance.Some officials suggested to him that since this year's potato harvest is bumper and food can be saved, it is better for the imperial court to build quasi-warehouses in various places, collect grain from the common people at market prices, and pile it into the warehouses. Open warehouses to release grain.

This proposal seems to be quite good, but neither Gu Li nor Prime Minister Mu agrees.Whenever the government intervenes in the work, there is an opportunity for corrupt bureaucrats to do it. Pingzhuncang was also done in previous dynasties, but in the end it didn't have much effect.After all, when buying grain, who can guarantee that the officials will not engage in the practice of lowering prices and selling them by force?When the food is harvested, will someone fill their pockets?Will the people who take care of the food guard against themselves?Will the local officials use the grain from the flat warehouse for other purposes?

Although Gu Li has spent a lot of effort in catching corrupt officials and catching evil officials this year, and Geng Chongming said that local officials are much better governed than in previous years, but Gu Li does not want to give these local officials any chance to oppress and exploit.

Moreover, if the grain is left in the hands of the common people, the common people will adjust it themselves, so why must we build a quasi warehouse?

Prime Minister Mu had the same opinion as him.

In addition, Prime Minister Mu has already arranged the cultivation of corn, sweet potatoes, and peanuts for next year, which can be arranged in the spring. He reminded Gu Li. Gu Li called Li Tang and told him: "There will be no crops in Huangzhuang next year. Let’s grow potatoes and sweet potatoes.”

Li Tang was a little puzzled, and said, "Your Majesty, the common people like potatoes, and the output is huge, so why not plant them?"

Gu Li explained to him: "The production of potatoes and sweet potatoes from all over the country is enough to supply the whole country, and the grain grown on Huangzhuang can just be preserved, and when there is a shortage of food, we will open warehouses to release grain to help the people."

Li Tang understood, this is the liquidation warehouse built by the emperor himself for the people.

Chen Feng has finally gotten along a lot recently.

With the help of the dossiers of the Prophet Yi Xin Unknown, coupled with Chen Fengkeng's ability to deceive and deceive people, it is not difficult to win the favor of the Netherlands and other countries.Coupled with the help of several friends he made after he came to Europe, Chen Feng soon won the support of most Protestant countries, and established a private and independent United Bank in England. The Protestant countries participated in the shares, and the United Bank issued paper money. Paper money replaced the precious metal standard against the Catholic state.

The total assets of the United Bank increased rapidly, and Chen Feng finally understood the magic of this paper currency. He used paper money to solve the war military expenses for these countries, and at the same time monopolized the right to issue paper money.Several countries have endorsed him, and the stocks issued by Union Bank are rising steadily. Every morning when you wake up, the bank’s assets will rise again—this is the ever-expanding bubble, and it is the magic controlled by Chen Feng.

Even, he can use the bank's equity as a bargaining chip to invest in every war. With the dossier of the Yixin Unknown Prophet in his hand, he will never have to worry about investing in the wrong person.

However, in just a few months, even the arrogant and conservative Richelieu sent someone to spread the word, hoping that the friendship between him and Chen Feng could still reserve a place for France among the shareholders of Union Bank.Chen Feng was naturally willing to sell him a favor.

After traveling back and forth on the sea for several months, he came to France again, and his status was not what it used to be.After participating in several banquets, Chen Feng became bored with this so-called upper-class social means, and asked his servants to push for him if they could.

He rented a mansion in Paris, and these domestic servants were also hired by friends. They were all young and handsome servants, but no matter whether it was these people or the exquisite and flattering faces at the banquet, they couldn’t let him go. Chen Feng was excited.

It has been more than half a year since I left Da Chu. At this time, Da Chu should be celebrating the Lunar New Year. I wonder if Yi Xin will be alone during the Chinese New Year?

It has been so long, the anger of being cheated has been digested by time, and what is left now is nothing but the melancholy and the longing that I don't want to admit.

Chen Feng didn't stay alone for long because he had a guest.

These two guests are merchants engaged in maritime trade, and they recently shipped a batch of silk tea embroidery and other things from the far east for sale.

The two businessmen thought that the French upstart had brought them here to buy their silk tea, and they peddled them enthusiastically. Chen Feng listened quietly, with a rare smile on his face.

"Since you just came from Dachu, how is it doing there recently?"

A businessman said: "It is very different from before, but seriously, it is hard to say."

Another businessman was much smarter, saying: "The people of Dachu are very smart, and all of them are culinary geniuses! This time we went to Dachu and discovered several new crops that are popular among the people. We have used these crops in other places. I have seen it, but only the Dachu people have developed several cooking methods."

Chen Fengsi thought: "Is that so... This must be Yi Xin's credit."

"The residents of Dachu live and work in peace and contentment. Everything is in good order and the law and order are stable. The scene is much better than what we have seen before."

Chen Feng nodded: "That's not surprising... Yi Xin is always very smart and very resourceful."

The businessman couldn't hear what he was talking about. Seeing that he was interested, he searched his guts and said, "Also, a book called "Da Chu Morning News" printed by Da Chu is very popular. Wherever you go, you can see people How about reading this kind of book! Those illiterate residents often surround those who have read the book and went to school, and ask them to help them read."

"Da Chu Morning News"?That's right, Yi Xin published an article on it!It is also good to read the articles he wrote without seeing him in person.

Chen Feng's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Did any of you bring the "Da Chu Morning Post"? I want to see it."

"Your Excellency, although we can speak a few words, we don't know Da Chu's writing..."

Another businessman finally found a chance to speak, and hurriedly said: "There is a young man on my boat who knows Dachu characters! He likes to buy this kind of books, I'll ask someone to call him over."

Chen Feng nodded.

The businessman hurried out immediately.

Chen Feng asked again: "Is there anything else?"

The businessman thought for a while and said, "I found out that the people of Dachu love their emperor very much. This is really strange, but I have never met this emperor, so I don't know if he is really as generous as the rumors Amiable."

"Graceful and friendly?" Chen Feng sneered, this must be the good reputation that Yi Xin earned for him, the hard work is all done by Yi Xin, the good reputation belongs to the dog emperor, I really don't know why Yi Xin wants to help him !

After waiting for a while, the businessman who was looking for someone finally came back with a stack of books.Chen Feng couldn't wait to pick it up and flip through it, but he didn't know that the authors were all strangers in a thick stack of books.

Gu Yixing was gone, and so was Mr. Jin Yong.

Chen Feng was a little anxious, flipping through the brochures one by one, but he didn't see any one signed by Gu Yixing's name.

"What's going on here? Could it be that Yixing is tired and sick and can't start writing..." Chen Feng thought for a while, heyed, and said: "I don't care what he does, this little liar is so smart that even I They can play around and around, so what else can happen?"

That's what I said, but I was a little worried after all.He asked his servants to reward two merchants, but after hesitating for a while, he asked them to bring them all if they had this kind of "Da Chu Morning News".

After the businessman left, Chen Feng sat alone in the study, flipped through the newspaper for a while, and put it away carefully.

He has been busy with work recently, and he has just gained a firm foothold in this strange land. Although he has snowy skin and emerald eyes, he is a strange face after all, and his foundation is still shallow. The United Bank is related to the economy of these Protestant countries. These people have tasted The benefits of issuing paper money greedily want more.

He needs to cheer up and deal with them one by one.

While Chen Feng was circling among the various countries, he secretly asked people to inquire about Da Chu's news.But he asked someone to find people who came back from Dachu recently, not many people would buy "Dachu Morning News", and the word Gu Yixing still didn't appear in these newspapers.

The men he brought from Da Chu were placed at the headquarters of the United Bank of England. On this day, he crossed the sea, returned to the bank to handle official duties, and listened to the reports of his subordinates.

The subordinates reported the progress of the work and finished the official business. He hesitated and asked him: "Master, I heard that you are inquiring about Dachu's side. We have not been here for a long time. You said that you want to start a company, but you haven't done it yet." Put it on the agenda, are we going back now?"

This subordinate, like Sun Xiangzhang, has followed him since he joined the rebel army. Chen Feng explained: "There is no such thing. If we want to return to Dachu, we have to wait until our wings are full."

The subordinate asked: "Then why...why did you ask someone to inquire about Da Chu? And, did you specially ask someone to find the "Da Chu Morning News"? Could it be...you want to inquire about Gu Yixing?"

Chen Feng was silent.

"Gu Yixing lied to you, did you forgive him so easily?"

Chen Feng immediately said: "Of course not!"

"But I think you are just talking cruel words, and you have never let go of him in your heart! Master, you have to be sober, we have traveled through mountains and seas, and finally came here. We have just laid a foundation, so you can't act emotionally. Ruined the great cause!"

Chen Feng glanced at him, turned his back, and said, "I know it in my heart, you go down."

The author has something to say: As mentioned in the previous chapter, Gu Li felt that Gu Yixing's vest had already achieved the effect of attracting others, and he could retire with success, so that young people would get more newspapers.Hahaha, look at what you did, you are so anxious about Fengfeng.
