"After our persistence on the front line, it lasted for a season and a week of harvesting. All the rice in the entire Xizhou has been harvested. Now all the open spaces in the entire Xizhou are full of millet dried by the people."
"The battle situation is gratifying. No one could have guessed that the final harvest will be jaw-dropping."
"Come on, don't be too pretentious, how many kilograms?"
"Ahem, listen up. According to statistics, the total hybrid rice harvest in Xizhou this year has reached 2.4 billion kilograms!"
'buzz'
The words fell. A pot exploded in the Jinchang County government office.
Li Zhen and Xun Shifei, who came from Xiping County, were also shocked by this number.
At the beginning, the guarantee was four billion kilograms. The result doubled several times, and the harvest reached a terrifying 24 billion kilograms.
Xizhou Governor Tao Ming's eyes filled with excitement, and he choked with sobs: "Before I came to Xizhou and took office, I felt that what I inherited was a mess. I was anxious and depressed. But now, I am proud of Xizhou. I haven’t been here long, but Xizhou is changing rapidly under my eyes. It makes me feel proud. It used to be the power of the eight states to support Xizhou, and now Xizhou can also support the eight states.”
"In time, Xizhou will become the shining star of New Kyushu. I am proud of Xizhou. In the history of this new calendar, there has never been an example of a state producing more than 20 billion kilograms of grain. . Never. And today, I can proudly announce that Xizhou has done it!"
'Wow wow wow' applause came in waves.
All the princesses from all the counties in Xizhou gathered together. Today is the commendation meeting.
Li Zhen looked at Xun Shifei, whose smile had not disappeared, and whispered, "Congratulations, senior."
"Why are you so happy?"
"The achievements of Xizhou will be unforgettable by the people. They will also never forget Prime Minister Xun's contribution to holding Xizhou for four months. The next emperor is none other than you."
Xun Shifei laughed loudly and did not hide his ambition in front of Li Zhen: "I should be the emperor. With the help of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, I can make Xizhou prosperous and strong. I can also make the other eight states better. . This New Kyushu will become a brand-new New Kyushu under my hands, a New Kyushu with a new look. I look forward to that day... "
Before he finished speaking, the prime minister's secretary walked up to Xun Shifei. After whispering a few words, Xun Shifei's expression changed: "Is it reliable?"
"reliable."
"Pack your things and prepare to return to Quancheng County. Get out."
"yes."
“…”
After the secretary left, Li Zhen saw that the smile on Xun Shifei's face disappeared, flickering between clear and cloudy.
Li Zhen picked up the tea and took a sip. He looked up on the stage and saw Tao Minlang smiling and saying: "In the past three or four months of Xizhou's rapid development, there have been many touching stories. If Xizhou Prefecture wants to award a commendation award, it must first be The person being commended is Mr. Haiyang, the county advocate of our Xiping County. The history of Xiping County can be traced back to the period of the Kyushu Imperial Court. At that time, Xiping County, including a few months ago, was a mess... "
After talking a lot, Zhang Haiyang went on stage to receive the award with a forced smile on his face.
Tao Ming awarded him a medal - the best princess.
A solid gold trophy weighing five kilograms. It can be said to be a big reward for a mistake.
However, the situation at the scene was extremely weird, but no one envied Zhang Haiyang. Everyone in the audience looked at Zhang Haiyang who was delivering his speech on the stage with a joking face.
And Zhang Haiyang also gritted his teeth and forced a smile, saying those touching words and saying that he would continue to work hard in the future.
Tao Ming stood on the rostrum with his hands tied, his expression showing no change.
There are no airtight walls in officialdom.
Xun Shifei praised Zhang Haiyang and said, "You are really suitable to be the princess." Within a few days, the news spread throughout the official circles of Xizhou, and everyone knew that Zhang Haiyang was finished.
Now Tao Ming directly awards him the 'Best Princess' award. It can be regarded as a complete blow to Zhang Haiyang.
Unless he encounters the support of a noble person, he leaves the officialdom of Xizhou and becomes a princess in another state. Only in this way is there the possibility of promotion. Otherwise, it is hopeless in this life.
Any leader who knew what Xun Shifei said would never dare to promote Zhang Haiyang.
The prime minister has said that he is a princess and is suitable to be a princess. She was born to be a princess.
Li Zhen watched the officialdom with great interest and asked casually: "What happened?"
Xun Shifei also picked up the tea and drank it without saying anything.
After being silent for a long time, Xun Shifei said: "The state has determined the formation of the tunnel railway from Laoshan County to Balong City. We are now starting to explore the route and construction will begin in a month. Various places have reported requests to build airports, and the New Kyushu Government has issued instructions. Three hundred and sixty-seven counties were approved for construction. The eight major heavy industry groups in Dongzhou received the national order and began to immediately complete a large plan to produce a thousand Peng aircraft."
After Li Zhen heard the news, he was stunned for a moment and then understood the reason for Xun Shifei's uncertainty. He said solemnly: "Didn't I discuss it with you?"
"We discussed it with me. If we don't discuss it with me, Du Taiping won't be able to do anything. He just sent a telegram asking me to go back to Quancheng County to sign."
"Why is that?"
'Dong' Xun Shifei put down the teacup heavily.
The venue suddenly fell silent. Everyone stopped talking and looked here uneasily, wondering what happened to Prime Minister Xun.
Xun Shifei's voice became a little louder, he became furious, and shouted in a voice that everyone could hear: "Where did the money come from?"
Everyone was wondering, wondering what Xun Shifei was talking about.
Li Zhen understood somewhat, where did the money come from
This is the same question that Li Zhen had in his mind after seeing so many big plans before. Where did so much money come from
At that time, those plans were just plans. Although Li Zhen was confused, he didn't think much about it. But now that the real deal has been taken and construction is about to begin, where will the money come from
Li Zhen also understood the reason for Xun Shifei's rage.
The country suddenly had so much money for big plans and construction, but Xun Shifei didn't even know about it. He had no idea where the money came from. Du Taiping just called him back to sign. He had not heard anything about it before.
What's the difference between this and making him a prime minister
Yes, where did the money come from
Li Zhen was not only deep in thought at this time, he was sure that the New Kyushu treasury was almost empty, but these plans were actually put on the agenda, and he couldn't do anything without money.
Although the country can owe money, businessmen are not fools. This is no longer the era when imperial power was supreme. Even if you are a country, no one is willing to do a business without money.
Being in debt is definitely not going to work. So where does the money come from
At this time, Jia Liping hurriedly walked to Li Zhen's side and whispered in a panic: "Master Li asked me to check the accounts before. I checked and found that the treasury was in deficit. But we have been paying attention to the trends. Just today, there was an army Twelve tons of gold and all kinds of fine stuff were brought into the treasury..."
After a moment of excitement, Li Zhen stood up on the spot.
Twelve tons of gold!
Where did it come from
If such a large amount of money were missing, it would make people extremely angry. But if there are too many, it makes people uneasy.
The most sensitive thing for those engaged in finance is changes in numbers. Money will not become less out of thin air, and it will definitely not increase out of thin air.
Long is the short root.
A huge amount of twelve tons of gold suddenly grew. There is something fishy here!
