If it weren't for the fact that the city tower in the county seat was still there, Su Shi even suspected that the dart bureau was taking the wrong way, and this place was not Meishan's hometown at all. After asking, I learned that at this time, Meishan's hometown was already the most important cargo distribution center on Sichuan and Shaanxi 4th Road, and the goods from the southwest and to the southwest had to be turned over from here.

The big waterwheels are the workshop area, where local oranges and loquat are processed into canned food in the workshops. There is also a fried tea workshop, Meishan is rich in green tea, it is said that this thing sells very well in Ganliang Road, more than 80 large iron pots keep stir-frying and are still in short supply.

Every month, big ships come along the Min River to pull these goods away, bringing not only rich wages, but also various daily necessities.

Locals no longer rely entirely on farming to make a living, and the young people of their families prefer to work in the workshops, while the women go to the cooperatives to weave bamboo tools. Don't look at the utensils are ordinary farmhouse styles, which are very inconspicuous, but after a few months of perseverance, they can still get a lot of income for the family.

Faced with this situation, Su Shi was a little blindsided, walked around and asked, and finally had some eyebrows. It turned out that all this was led by the Green Gang and the agricultural cooperatives, and the locals also resisted at first, if it wasn't for the government to come forward and agree, and the Green Gang was very tough, there would have been a fight.

But no one has a grudge against money, as long as a local enters the workshop, it will not take two or three months to see the effect, and more and more people will join in.

In less than four years, the villages around Meishan County have basically changed their attitudes and become staunch supporters of the Youth Gang and cooperatives.

When I tried to inquire about the details of the Qinggang and the agricultural cooperatives, I found that no one knew, or I didn't say anything. The prime minister of the court, who stepped down and returned to his hometown, was also a leading figure, and he couldn't ask the truth, and this tone was really unbearable.

So Comrade Lao Su wrote a letter to Cai Jing, the prefect of Chengdu, although the two of them had different political views and inconsistent positions in the court, they had been officials in the same court for many years, so they had to give this face.

Cai Jing did give face, and replied to talk about the situation of the Green Gang, full of beautiful words, and he was about to say that Zhu Sizhen, the leader of the Green Gang, was a saint. All good things have been done, as long as they are bad, they will not be touched.

Su Shi definitely didn't believe it, so he simply took the opportunity to go to Chengdu Mansion by himself, and found the Qinggang headquarters according to the address Cai Jing said. It turned out to be a coincidence, and I saw Zhu Bajin at the door. also blamed Zhu Bajin for being clumsy, and chatted with Su Shi for a long time, but he didn't see the identity of the other party.

Now Su Shi understands a little, Zhu Sizhen is Zhu Bajin, he has planned a lot of business here, and it is not obvious who is standing behind him. Carefully compare the changes in Meishan and Chengdu with Huangzhou back then, and I can't help but tremble, how similar it is!

It's not impossible for Sichuan to become a sweet and cool road, if the people of the whole world can live a prosperous life, Su Shi guarantees that he will be the first to raise his hands and feet in favor.

But Ganliang Road also has the trouble of Ganliang Road, where there are no scholars, not to mention the elders and young, there is a copper smell everywhere, and the eyes are full of businessmen, not ashamed but proud.

What is even more terrifying is not who has become whom, what advantages and disadvantages there are, but the change in the whole Sichuan is by no means a day's work. But the imperial court has not known anything for so many years, and there is a big problem here.

This time, Su Shi did not recklessly write a book, let alone question Cai Jing in person with the Chengdu Mansion, but spent a month going to several major states and counties, and only rushed to Yangzi Town after having a general overview in his heart. Don't dare to say that Xingshi asks for guilt, anyway, if Wang Shu can't give a reasonable answer, this lawsuit must be fought in the court.

So why haven't you asked for so many days? Speaking of this, Su Shi himself was not very embarrassed, he knew that it was not good to ask King Liang directly, so he took the route of his daughter first, and knocked on Wang Xiaoya's side.

The result is not ideal, this student said nothing to the teacher, but she has no understanding of what her father did, she can only provide a few words of evidence, and it is very incomplete, if you want to know the answer, then you can only ask Liang Wang in person.

"I wonder if Xiaoya has ever shown her new work?" Normally, when it came to the topic of painting, Hong Tao had to find a way to get away from it immediately, but this time he was not too afraid of this matter after returning from Yingli City.

Wang Xiaoya is indeed talented in painting, in order to enhance the emotional connection between father and daughter, Hong Tao reluctantly came up with the painting technique at the bottom of the box, sketching.

As a result, Wang Xiaoya quickly mastered and carried forward, and her daughter was very interested in this novel technique, and also created a few more favorite works, ready for the teacher to correct.

"Too realistic, lacking artistic conception, but unique, can be regarded as a unique school, is this Jin Qing's hard work for more than ten years?" In Su Shi's eyes, no matter whether Wang Shu writes or not, he is still the potential painting genius.

There is a reason why you don't use the pen, and it is inconvenient for gentlemen to study deeply, and this technique called sketching by Wang Xiaoya is probably the reason. Practicing unique skills in retreat for many years is not too new.

"Even the family heirloom stunt is undisguised, how can you, the teacher, ask her without answering? If you don't answer, you don't know how to answer? Don't ask Xiaoya about this kind of thing in the future, she has her own life, and it is enough for us to participate in such court affairs. In fact, Hong Tao just wanted to show off, and by the way, he warned Su Shi not to involve Wang Xiaoya.

"The matter of Sichuan is indeed done by this king, and it is the next sweet and cool road. The special zone with King Qi is in the north, and there is half of Qinfeng Road in the middle, and the special zone and the four roads of Sichuan and Shaanxi can be connected as a whole at any time. Don't stare at it yet, it's not for the sake of separation, it's for development. ”

"Didn't I just say that if we want to develop, we must run through the north and south, and connect the east and west, so that the flow of materials can complement each other, so that the two sides can prosper together. There are many places where the Sichuan-Shaanxi Fourth Road and the Special Economic Zone can complement each other, and whether the imperial court agrees or not, it will take the road of the Special Economic Zone. Don't hide it from Brother Zizhan, the later the court finds out, the better, otherwise the people of Qin Fenglu will suffer from the military disaster. ”

Talking about painting is just Hong Tao's delaying tactic, and he hasn't thought about whether he should tell the truth to Su Shi or not, to what extent. Since Su Shi has seen the changes within Sichuan almost the same, let's talk more.

"How to say this......" The amount of information is too large, far beyond Su Shi's prediction. In fact, the changes in Sichuan that he has seen are just scratching the surface, and he hasn't seen anything in essence, and he doesn't even know that there is such an armed force as the factory protection team, and after listening to Hong Tao's answer, he realized how serious the situation is.

Although the Sichuan-Shaanxi Fourth Road is still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, it is essentially no different from secession. King Liang actually silently controlled dozens of officials up and down the four roads, controlled key positions, and cut off the eyes and ears of the imperial court. Thinking about it carefully, it is unreasonable not to rebel by this means alone.

"Long before the king sent troops to Western Xia, there were three or four thousand new troops on the fourth road of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and now I am afraid that it will be more than 10,000. When the king returned to this place, less than half of the New Army soldiers who had participated in the battles of Yingli City and Xingqing Mansion were transferred to various parts of Sichuan to serve as instructors of the New Army, and the New Army soldiers of the Sichuan and Shaanxi Fourth Roads were transferred to Xingqing Mansion to participate in the battle against bandits. This is only for the purpose of training, and only soldiers who have fought are considered soldiers. ”

"Brother Zizhan thinks that with the precipitousness of Sichuan, how many forbidden troops does the imperial court need to attack 10,000 new troops without falling behind? And Sichuan is not like Ganliang Road, many products still need to be imported from other roads, and it is completely self-sufficient. As long as the imperial court sends troops, the momentum of secession will be established. In order to ensure smooth communication, Qin Fenglu, who is separated in the middle, may not be able to escape the hands of the new army. ”

At that time, the Zen Rang that this king has been planning for a long time is afraid that he will have to be covered with the blood of countless people, and the exemplary role he has made for future generations will also lose most of its significance. In this land, thousands of years of dynasties have changed continuously, and you sing and I appear. No matter who sits in that position, the result is almost the same, and the victor's flag is dyed red with blood every time. ”

"The reason why the new army has been slow to move since the beginning of Youzhou is completely dependent on the difference in the king's thoughts. It's not that I can't, but I don't want to. I don't want to repeat the actions of my predecessors again, and then be imitated by future generations. ”

"I also hope that Brother Zizhan will be perfected, a king of Qi who works hard, a king of Liang who fulfills his promises, a great Song Dynasty who makes the whole people rich and strong, and a royal family who does not kill each other and sets an example for the people of the world."

Talking endlessly, spitting lotus flowers, coupled with deep movements, Hong Tao felt that the content was shocking enough, the attitude was sincere enough, the blood was warm enough, and the righteousness was golden enough. Even if he can't convince Old Man Su, he will no longer regard himself as a big villain who will bring disaster to the country and the people.

As for the members of the promotion society who also exist in various places besides Sichuan and do exactly the same work as Sichuan, let's not talk about it. Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, in case Old Man Su really wants to turn his face and go to the court to complain, he can't cut him down.

The less he knew, the better it would be for him, and when the time came, he would be able to argue with reason and persuade the members of the representative council not to allow Wang Shi's Audit and Supervision Committee to be ruthless to Su Dawenhao, leaving him alive.

As soon as he talked about it, Hong Tao couldn't help but sigh. The reorganization of the promotion society was successful, and it was itself that suffered the most. Don't look at holding two top positions, but you can no longer say anything on key issues, you must meet to decide. Unless it really reaches a 100,000 urgent situation, you can cut it first and then play.

In later generations, there are always people shouting about separation of powers and checks and balances, and Hong Tao is also one of them. But after that's the case, not everyone can adapt to it, and if you can't get used to it, you can't change it in one generation, and it will take two or more generations.
