While waiting for the northern battle report, Zhao Gou is also paying close attention to various information about Lin Guo.

He was satisfied with the various political achievements boasted by the government-run newspapers and the various good news fed back to him by officials.

Now the people should all be supporting his new policy. I heard that everyone is singing his praises for his feat of regaining the north-central territory.

"Officials, the news about the Linguo convoy came back—" the inspector hurried back, with a horrified message on his face: "They...they can go back and forth between the north and the south within two days because... "

"Because of what?" Zhao Gou felt a little impatient when he saw him hesitating: "What's so frightening, I haven't seen how fast their car drives?"

"They have dug through the three mountains and are walking through the mountain tunnel!" The inspector said with difficulty: "I don't believe it in my heart, and I deliberately took a long way to go to the place pointed out by the farmer to have a look!"

"What?" Zhao Gou asked in confusion, "What do you mean by digging through? They dug through the whole mountain?"

The inspector only took out a pair of paintings and showed him a rough schematic diagram.

I saw that among the mountains, the three mountain ranges of Xiajiao, Yitong, and Suanliao, which blocked the passage, were directly drilled out of the tunnel.

Those vehicles passed through the bottom of the mountain in this way, directly saving the distance that ordinary carriages would have to detour for four or five days to turn over.

Zhao Gou was dumbfounded, and asked back: "This is a hole drilled under the belly of the mountain, how can it not collapse?"

This doesn't make sense at all?Is Linguo as miraculous as a Taoist who moves mountains?

"The holes dug out are all whitish in color, and they seem to have been painted with something terrible." The inspector let the father-in-law next to him take the scroll away, and explained again: "In the past, there have been people who have been bombarded because of the roaring nearby. And they moved away one after another, Wei Chen thought it was just like the west of Yangzhou, bombing the mountain tops to build something, and actually created several roads through the rocks directly!"

The more Zhao Gou looked at it, the more panicked he felt. If what they drilled was not the trade route to the north, but the tunnel to Lin'an, even if he suddenly died in the palace one day, no one would be able to find out why!

"It is also because of this that Tang Cheng and others wrote documents to discuss the relocation of the capital and wanted to submit them to you, and I also brought them here." The supervisor took out several documents from his sleeve again, and said respectfully: "The official , this mountain-digging technique is really monstrous, Lin'an is too close to Lin'an, and strange things have been happening all the time, and the chaos in Beijing has been repeatedly prohibited."

Now that the Kingdom of Jin has completely retreated to the north, moving the capital to Chang'an and Luoyang is a safe choice—

Even if we don't go there, Tokyo is about to be defeated, so it's always a safe place to go.

The existence of this neighboring country is like a gangrene, the longer it exists, the more uneasy it will be!

Zhao Gou thought for a long time, motioned to his father-in-law to accept the paperwork, nodded and said, "Let me think about it for a while, you should withdraw first."

As soon as the inspector walked out of the palace, the servants from a distance trotted over: "Master Zhang! How is the matter going?!"

"Tell your prime minister that the emperor has collected all the things. I don't think it contradicts the idea of ​​moving the capital," the inspector turned to look at the distant environment, and said in a low voice, "I will follow the instructions of the two adults for details." If you go down, don’t blame it if it doesn’t work.”

"Don't worry about it," the boy nodded and said, "I'll go back and report."

Nowadays, in the Song court, those who speak clearly and have weight, of course, are assigned names according to the official ranks bestowed by the emperor.

But in fact, the real order is quietly changing.

After the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce, the affairs of the DPRK and China began to be in line with that of Linguo. After learning about the return rate, more and more officials began to scramble for the quota for capital injection and subscription.

Because of this, the existence of the Ministry of Commerce itself has become the largest power and wealth trading hub.

Whether it is a military officer who wants to find a way to get promoted, or a civil servant who wants to cling to the powerful, he has to take advantage of this seemingly bright and clean business department to invest money and stocks. No matter whether he can make money or not, at least he can enter the The first stepping stone of the circle.

And if you want to get in touch with high-ranking officials above the third grade and get more people's recommendation and guidance, you have to think of a way to get into the Mingqiu Poetry Club.

This poetry club was originally set up by Lu Shangshu to listen to Qu and chat, but because the book ban was too strict, many novel books on the market could not be circulated. From the very beginning, those high-ranking officials came to him , thinking of ways to talk about the new learning of politics and economics.

Later, Lu Shangshu became the head of the Ministry of Commerce, and communicated more and more with Linguo businessmen, and occasionally brought some Linguo people with new insights to give lectures, and absorbed the old knowledge of those Linguo people. Management experience, opened a formal membership system.

If a new member wants to enter this gathering, he must be recommended by a third-rank or higher official with his real name, and there is a certain limit on the number of places recommended by each member.

Things continued to develop in the future. This Mingqiu Poetry Society not only has the nature of an elite secret meeting, but also becomes one of the main arteries of Tang Feng's revival, secretly driving public opinion and public voices that are more in line with their needs.

For all this, high-level officials knew it well, but no one dared to pierce it in front of the emperor.

——This is neither forming a party for personal gain, nor can it be regarded as disrespectful to the emperor.

The secrecy measures are adequate, and if the party is to be liquidated, all officials involved in the transactions of the Ministry of Commerce may have to be imprisoned, which is equivalent to directly emptying out most of the court.

So on the surface, Haiyan and Heqing are still clear, and everything is stable.

But the new power hierarchy constructed by the network of interests is constantly expanding its invisible branches.

If you count carefully, dozens of them are rich businessmen or high-ranking officials who are connected with each other.

If this person is moved, it will affect the industry under them, and then affect the jobs of thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

Among them, the master is Yun Qi, who is the consultant of the Ministry of Commerce, the deputy director of Shaoxing Manufacturing, and the chairman of Longxing Manufacturing.

Her family history is obvious to all, and now she has been praised as everyone's God of Wealth.

Yunqi's understanding of the company's business management, industrial investment and planning is far superior to other Song people and Linren.

It was she who directly connected the markets in the southeast and Huguang, and sold out countless commodities in the three prefectures of Hexuanchang and Xuanchang, and created astonishing tax revenue and wealth in just two or three years.

And the few officials who asked her to take care of their assets in the past have now made a lot of money, and they pay special visits during the Chinese New Year, and they have added a lot of new gadgets from Linguo to their mansion.

Secondly, there are Xu Guan and Mu Quliang from Jianghuai and Southeast.

As the head of silk merchants and porcelain merchants, they had already sold all their goods overseas based on the business handed down from the family. Now that they have contacted and understood the operation mode of the factory, they began to further expand the production scale and make the original All the domestic slaves turned into bonded labor, and began to further plunder the original capital——

If the business with Boss Hu can be done, they even want to open the factory further afield.

The two of them took away a large number of shares in Longxing Manufacturing, and there are countless small businessmen under their own hands who are following the trend, which is equivalent to the two leaders of the private industry.

Hu Pingyu, who also has the status of a businessman and extremely high control, represents some businessmen in Linfang.

As a businesswoman in her forties, she is quite strange and unbelievable in the eyes of Song people.

But people care more about how much benefit she can bring to Song than why this woman has no husband and no children to show up in public.

If Hu Pingyu and the people from the Ministry of Commerce hadn't secretly signed multiple agreements, the multiple factories in the industrial zone would not have been able to achieve such a fast construction progress. Many CNC machine tools and necessary parts for the production line were all disguised by her men Sent secretly.

The close cooperation between her and Yunqi directly led to the secret leakage of Linguo's industrial production capacity and the transfer of a large number of scientific and technological documents.

The only pity is that Liu Zi escaped the assassination, and directly strengthened the security management to an unprecedented level. Even the apartment building where he lived seemed to be open to everyone in the Senate, but in fact all the floors were occupied by him. confidants and subordinates.

Anyone who approaches that building within 50 meters will be automatically recorded with facial features and identification ID, and will be monitored for relevant behaviors in real time.

Although Liu Xi intends to split the influence of Jingzi Chemical and Shengyue Alloy, and further opened up the construction of a new linkage industrial zone in the three states, Hu Pingyu actually backed up and teleported away most of them before he did it. The company's core data and materials, and even the production line were secretly dismantled and taken away.

She and Zhang Zhiye are taking advantage of the construction of this joint industrial zone to transfer technology and assets abroad.

And the people in their entire interest network are trying to use the relocation of the capital to complete a common escape from the golden cicada.

No matter whether Zhao Gou wanted it or not, next year's capital will definitely not be Lin'an anymore.
