March 695 passed so dullly. On the surface, Wufeng seemed to be more relaxed and comfortable than ever. In the morning, he was invited by some groups and individuals, such as going to Fenghua Poetry Garden to listen to the students' discussions, going to the Imperial Academy of Calligraphy and Painting to see the masters' strokes, going to Baima Temple and Baiyun Temple to preach with Master Huineng and Xuan Qingxian, and his life became so colorful.

In the afternoon, I took a leisurely nap, and then happily went to the Qingye Sect's headquarters to talk about the pursuit of martial arts with the elders of the Qingye Sect. Then I went to Qingyue Xuan to taste tea and listen to the piano, feel the life of the hermit, go to the Sihai Club to drink coffee, play with women, and many noble ladies and ignorant girls who want to integrate into the upper class are conquered by Wufeng's demeanor, and lying obediently under Wufeng.

As for the night life, it was even more colorful. The invitations of the nobles and merchants who took turns to serve as the locals made Wufeng have a constant banquet almost every night. After drinking and eating, he lingered in countless romantic places with the imperial capital. The women of various charms seemed to be completely intoxicated.

But all this seems not to be the case. History is like following the track and stumbleing in the established direction.

The news from Kansai is very worrying. Before the fifteenth was over, Gu Dengyun led people from the northwest to return to the Kansai area. With the original good foundation of the Gu family and Gu Dengyun's extraordinary ability, he and his friends quickly gained a foothold in the Kansai area. Various intelligence in the Kansai area was continuously reported to Wufeng. The rapid development momentum of the Taiping Cult in the area shocked Wufeng, and the rapid increase in their armed forces obviously had the shadow of foreign interference forces behind them, and perhaps more than one.

The situation reflected from Beiyuan, Yanyun and even Heshuo counties is not optimistic. The power of Taiping Cult in these counties has been deeply rooted, especially in Beiyuan and Yanyun counties, which is extraordinary. Its power has penetrated deeply into all classes and has a considerable influence and appeal in the two counties, which also makes Wufeng feel a lot of pressure.

February has not ended yet. Under pressure from all sides, Wufeng made an important decision to let the guards corps commander Song Tianxiong and logistics director Jing Li return to Qingyang in advance to form the guards division. However, in view of the current funding and personnel issues, Wufeng suggested that Song Tianxiong could first use the airs of three registrars and not rush to expand into a full division. It is necessary to ensure combat effectiveness. The backbone is composed of his original guards soldiers. Wufeng's safety in the imperial capital is the responsibility of Lu Ping, the former deputy guards corps commander, and the task of selecting martial arts masters is also handed over to Lu Ping.

Due to the end of the Wu Yu Examination, many sects in the Jianghu did not gain what they imagined. The privileges of the Central Plains Guild Hall and the participation of a large number of noble children made the original increase of the quota shrink. Many sects gained nothing, and even some large sects gained little. Many forces located in the imperial capital came forward to recruit them, especially the princes expanded their guards and won the effectiveness of many sect disciples.

Wufeng was in a hot topic due to the assassination, and it was natural to recruit experts to increase his guard power and did not attract much attention. In addition, Wufeng's strict selection of this aspect made it not many people selected.

The news from the northwest is satisfactory. As the economies of the four northwest governments entered a period of stable and rapid development, especially the situation in Qingyang and Jinzhou governments was even more gratifying. Since the tax reduction and exemption policy promised in the early stage of construction has expired, this has not affected the investment enthusiasm of merchants, the enthusiastic reception of local governments, the stability and stability of local public security, sufficient cheap labor, a huge consumer market, good geographical location, and rich material resources, all of which attract businessmen who seek profit. As the tax reduction and loan periods in Qingyang and Jinzhou gradually expired, the finances of the two governments improved rapidly and showed explosive growth, and the fiscal revenue of the two governments has already reached a high return stage.

The economy of Guide and Bonan Prefectures has also grown rapidly. The well salt production in Guide Prefecture has entered the stage of large-scale development. Merchants with a large amount of funds have cooperated with local governments to continuously expand their scale and began to conduct large-scale exploration, hoping to expand the scope of well salt production. The number of vineyards in the south has also grown rapidly, and the yield and quality of wine have reached a new level. The ceramic industry in Bonan Prefecture has become a pillar industry, and many foreign craftsmen have poured in, which has continuously improved the quality of local ceramics. Most of the products are exported to the Chinese and Western mainland, earning rich income.

After receiving huge support from the empire, the economy began to start. The start of many basic projects absorbed a large amount of surplus labor. A large number of Gaoyue people began to move out of the Hengduan Mountains and settled in areas outside the mountainous areas, and joined the team to build Northern Luzon. The construction plan of Shuangdui Prefecture attracted the attention of all local merchants. The planned city scale was grand and unique, which made the local people more confident. This plan also attracted the migration of a large number of immigrants in the neighboring Indian Kingdom.

Under the influence of these good news, the economic situation in the entire northwest and northern Luzon was thriving. Xiao Tang also rarely agreed to Wu Feng's decision to form a Guard Division, and generously agreed to give a full division, which surprised the military personnel, including Ling Tian.

In a mansion on the same street as Chengshoufu in Donghai County, the people around him knew that this was the mansion of Li Dashanren, a famous Pengcheng Mansion. Li Dashanren owned thousands of hectares of fertile land outside Pengcheng, and was also the major shareholder of Tianjinji, a famous silk and satin farm in Pengcheng City. He also owned two big medicine shops, and was also the number one figure in the entire Pengcheng Mansion.

There were only three people sitting in the concise and clear but quite hidden chamber. One of them was the old man who had appeared in the Hanzhong Mansion in Guanxi. Of course, he was You Daofang, who was respected as the Grand Master in the Taiping Holy Sect. A man with infinite power and two people sitting on both sides. One was naturally the middle-aged man Xu Wenzhe, who was called the Grand Master. The other was a few years younger. His simple gray-white robe showed his extraordinary charm.

"Master, have you been going well all the way?" Both men respectfully bowed to the master sitting in the head.

"Well, it's quite smooth. This trip has gained a lot and has a lot of vision." You Daofang's face showed a satisfied smile. "The customs and customs of the northern countries are indeed very different from ours, and they are somewhat similar to those in the northern border areas of our Beiyuan and Yanyun counties."

"Master, what are the important things about you going there for a few months?" The young man sitting on the left couldn't help asking. Master, who had been going there for two or three months, left behind countless major events in the sect, which made him and his senior brother wonder.

Although Xu Wenzhe, known as the eldest master, did not speak, the expression in his eyes was obviously very interested in knowing why his master spent so much time to go to the northern countries at this critical moment.

"You must not reveal the secrets of heaven, you will know naturally then. But I think you have handled the affairs of the sect well in the past few months. It seems that my two disciples can be alone." You Daofang's face showed a look of pride.

"My master has been awarded too much. Wenzhe and his junior brother have just handled a few small things according to your opinion." The eldest young master Xu Wenzhe answered humbly without any slight arrogance.

"Well, Wenzhe, you are getting more and more mature. The negotiations with Kaman and Poole are very good. I wonder how what they promised is going?" You Daofang's face was still very relaxed, but his tone was very cautious.

"Return to Master, the weapons and equipment of the Kaman people have begun to be gradually in place. I have arranged a reliable disciple to receive some of them. Since the inspections on Beiyuan are quite tight, we can only transport them in part. The funds they provide have all been in place. It seems that they attach great importance to this cooperation." Xu Wenzhe answered seriously.

"Well, where are their military instructors?" You Daofang attached more importance to this aspect.

"The personnel sent by the Kaman people were all in place last month, with a total of about 600 people. I arranged them to Beiyuan, Yanyun and Guanxi counties, and there were also a small number of Heshuo County. There were fewer Puer people, only about 300 people. My junior brother and I discussed it and all arranged them in Donghai County." Xu Wenzhe explained, "According to the following reports, these people are of very high quality, which has helped greatly improve the combat effectiveness of our armed forces. However, I am still worried about their true intentions, so I arranged for the people from the Untangle Hall to be responsible for monitoring."

"Well, it's better to do it well, be careful in everything. Neither the Kamans nor the Pooles are good people. Although they need each other now, there may be no different pictures, but if the situation changes in the future, it will be difficult to say very well." You Daofang nodded in agreement with Xu Wenzhe's approach, "but we must obey them in our studies and training. After all, our people lack formal military knowledge and experience, and we can only rely on them at the moment, so we must improve ourselves in the shortest time and eventually be able to completely drop them."

"But Master, it may be difficult to achieve our expected goals in a short period of time." The young man who had not spoken finally put forward his own views.

"Well, I also know that a farmer can grow into a warrior, which is indeed not something that can be achieved overnight. The riot in 689 fully demonstrated this problem. Without strong military power, the final outcome can only be failure. We must not repeat the same mistakes, so I must let our experience the necessary formal training, even if it is necessary to delay the time of the uprising." You Daofang's expression was already serious at this time, and his voice became much deeper.

The two people in the next head were speechless for a moment.

"By the way, Bailin, what's going on in the south?" You Daofang put his eyes on the young man again.
