Just as all the politicians of the Eastern Continental countries and regions, including the Tanghe Empire, were paying attention to the rising prices with a worrying attitude, Li Wufeng, as the Western master of the empire, was in a happy mood and enjoying the most wonderful time of the day in the garden of the county magistrate's mansion in Hanzhong Prefecture.

Wu Feng, who had lunch, lay on his back on an easy chair in a pavilion paved with bluestone, leisurely watching the newspapers delivered today. This has become his best auxiliary resting activity during lunch break. The three newspapers of "Imperial News", "Daily News", and "Northwest Star" have become an important channel for Wu Feng to understand the situation in the empire and his territory. Although the various intelligence information sent to him every day is piled up, even if he was screened by Qin Shuangying and Su Jie, he was already dazzling, but he did not like these things that were more important and reliable in terms of function and authenticity. The stereotyped writing style and boring writing style made Wu Feng very dissatisfied with the guy in the intelligence department who was responsible for writing and organizing such intelligence compilations, but he also knew that this was not a scholar and literati who recited poems and essays, and they all had a fixed format, which made him helpless.

So in his spare time, he prefers to read various newspapers and magazines with lively writing style, sharp and more targeted words. The writers and journalists specially hired by these media not only have a keen sense of smell, but also have a profound writing style. Some of them have unique vision and extraordinary knowledge. Every time during lunch break, Wufeng likes to choose newspapers and magazines as a way to adjust his rest. While reading newspapers, he can sleep for a while. This kind of leisure time is Wufeng's most cherished private time now, and he hates people to disturb him the most. In this case, unless something particularly important or someone visits, Wufeng's guards will not disturb him.

Leaving the Empire News and Daily News, Wufeng picked up the Northwest Star. The news in the past two days does not seem to be innovative, and most of the eyes are still focused on the issue of food. Several major newspapers and magazines in the imperial capital have linked the drought reduction this year in Xiaochun with the early grain reserves and the rise in grain prices in the northwest. Many media have begun to vaguely point out that the Northwest is not actually making grain reserves, but is speculating on grains, but the Northwest happens to bet on this treasure, and the evil deeds in the northwest have seriously affected the vital interests of ordinary people in the empire. As a vassal of the empire, they should bear the responsibilities they cope with and bear corresponding obligations for stabilizing grain prices.

The huge pulling effect brought by the rapid growth of grain prices and the rise in grain prices. Since the influx of edible oil, salt, medicinal materials and wine, the prices in the empire have been rising even more. The prices of edible oil and salt have exceeded the highest price in the past decade, and various medicinal materials have also reached the peak in the past five years. Especially after the Northwest Military and Political Administration issued an order to increase the customs tariffs on transit strategic materials in its own name.

Prices in Liberia countries were boiling like boiling water. Wufeng even ordered Cui Wenxiu to cooperate with the local tax inspection department to strengthen inspections of the border areas of the Western Regions and the Tengger region. In Yinchuan, Taixuan, Nanjieluoke, and Fielding also strengthened inspections of various external ports and borders, and cracked down on smuggling activities. Thinking that these actions would inevitably further arouse criticism from all forces within the empire, Wufeng felt his scalp numb, but for his own plans, he didn't care much at this time.

The front page of "Northwest Star" is a report sent back by foreign journalists. "From the popularity of Tang language, the improvement of the status of the Tang clan in the Middle Mainland" frowned. Wufeng seemed to smell the unusual atmosphere behind this report. Wufeng's eyes fell on the name of the author of this report. Tang abruptly, this guy, another top student in the journalism department of Imperial University, wandered around after graduation. It is said that he has also been to the territory of the Japanese in the Western Continent and the East. He is a fanatical national expansionist, but he is a very unincited guy. This is the attribution Wufeng gave him. It is said that this guy was once the admirer of Hua Yumei at the Imperial University. Maybe he came to the northwest and refused to leave because he was attracted by the editor-in-chief of "Northwest Star" and became the top reporter of "Northwest Star".

Needless to say, just looking at the title, Wufeng knew that this guy was really advocating the theory of westward advancement. Once upon a time, the northwest merchants whose pockets were gradually bloated gradually began to be unwilling to be limited to the narrow area of ​​the northwest. Their eyes had shifted from the six northwest prefectures to the farther Western Regions, Tengger and Northern Luzon. When these regions were successively incorporated into the management of the northwest, the economic benefits brought by the Northwest merchants were irritated with desire. They were eager to gain more benefits. They hoped to focus more energy on areas in the West where the markets were not fully developed, such as the Indian Kingdom and the Principality of Meli.

The rich specialties of the kingdom and the lucrative spices of the Principal of Meli made them salivate. They hope that their no-fronts could expand their influence deeper and farther into these areas, and use their influence to win more business opportunities for them. This is already the case in Northern Luzon, the Western Regions and Tengger are like this. They hope that the next goal will be the Indian and German Kingdom. They have some supporters in the government and the military. Although they have not formed any interest groups, perhaps the strong expansion sentiment has caused many important military officials to subconsciously form an alliance with them in public opinion, and their spokesperson is this abrupt, and even this abrupt goes further than them.

This is the conclusion that Wufeng came to after investigation by the security department. They were not pawns sent by foreign forces to destroy their plans to advance east, but their interests were more related to the West. The relatively complete and developed industrial and commercial system within the empire made many of their commodities not have superior competitiveness. However, in the Central Continent, many commodities could easily gain monopoly status, which prompted them to constantly lobby the government and the military. Of course, their biggest goal was naturally themselves.

The article explains the phenomenon of Tang language gradually replacing Lanian language in Indian and German as the second trading language in business and the rise of Tang language in Indian and German as the Indian and German as the first official language. From the Northern Luzon Tang language replacing Tianfang language into the first official language to the Western countries becoming the official language with the same status as Tianfang language, from the upper class of Tenggeri grassland being proud to speak Tang language to the number of Tang languages ​​in Marston wasteland gradually increasing these phenomena, and believes that the Northwest should not currently focus too much energy on the empire, but should seize the opportunity to

The focus is moved to the west, and more energy is placed on the integration of politics, economy and culture and art with the Central Continent, and the use of the Tang people's strong economic strength and splendid culture and art to influence those areas in the Central Continent that are still in a relatively backward area, so that they can bathe in the dawn of civilization as soon as possible and avoid being influenced by pagan culture from the Western Continent. The article also pointed out that the religious invasion of the Western Continent in the West should be paid enough attention. If the Central Continent is not a strong religious awareness, if they do not take the lead, they will inevitably pay a heavy price in the future.

Thousands of words are reasonable and well-founded. Even Wufeng, who does not advocate the westward advance, cannot but admit that some of the views put forward in this report are quite novel and are indeed convincing enough, which is very different from some of his previous articles with distinct attitudes. Especially when pointing out the expansion of the power of the Holy Spirit Church in the Western Continent, many more detailed examples are used to illustrate, such as how many churches the Holy Spirit Church built in the Indian and German areas, and how many church schools were built in the Principality of Melis, etc., pointing out that this is not just

Like the promotion of religion and ideology on the surface, there is a profound political background. To put it more directly, it is even a stand-in for the political and industrial and commercial forces in the western continent. This view made Wu Feng feel refreshed and a little shocked. While he was blindly fighting the east, he also needed to ensure his dominance in the existing central and mainland regions, especially in many ideologies such as religion, culture and art. He seemed to have been neglected in the past two years.

Although this guy has a little extreme view, he is quite inspiring to himself. The example of missing one another cannot happen to him. This guy said that seizing the commanding heights of ideology is a clever move, especially under the guise of religion. If the ideology from the Western Continent takes the lead, if he wants to regain this commanding heights, he may really not know how much energy he will have to spend. Prepare for the future, and he may really be ready.

"The Western Regions set off a new round of land encirclement movement, and vineyards become the first choice for all farmers." In addition, Wufeng's eyes fell again on another report from the Northwest Star. The title is "From the rapid progress of the wine industry in the Western Regions, the challenge facing Guide winemaking industry is" The article uses detailed arguments and careful writing to introduce the over the past year that commercial funds from the south and northwest have poured into the Western Regions countries that are quite suitable for planting high-quality grapes. They invest a lot of land to build vineyards and have been in several places in the past year.
