The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 143
According to the practice of solving cases in the past, Di Renjie let Zeng Tai sit on the imperial envoy's ship, and he got off the ship halfway to make an unannounced visit to the private sector.

During the period, it cannot be said that there were no people who bullied and oppressed good people, but in general, the land of Jiangnan presented a scene of prosperity and peace.

Compared with Ganliang Road, where the Black Clothes Club has been rampant for many years, the lives of the people in Jiangnan Road are generally one or two grades higher. This makes him feel very relieved, and feels that the contribution of King Ying's Xianrui is no less than the victory over the Tule War.

In fact, the development of Jiangnan Road to the present level has a lot to do with Wu Zetian changing Yangzhou governor several times. After Cui Liang left, he was replaced by Li Han within a few years.

Li Han is a bit rigid as an upright person and an official, but he is a person who can do practical things with a heart for the people.After he took office, he didn't mess around, but continued Du Yu and Cui Liang's plans for Yangzhou and other places.

It has to be said that sometimes doing nothing is the best way of governance. There is no random intervention by the government in Yangzhou, showing the embryonic form of a certain market economy.

Led by industries such as fishery and salt in the port, Yangzhou's economy is no longer a purely agricultural economy. Primary industries such as logging, shipbuilding, and smelting have flourished, producing many industrial workers who have left agriculture.

With the development of industry, the economy became more prosperous and complemented each other. Originally, the common people in Datang had too many sons and could not afford to support them, nor did they have more land for future generations.There are now many industries where people can make a living and feed a larger population.

Not only Yangzhou, but also the surrounding prefectural villages and towns have also benefited greatly, so what Di Renjie saw when he was walking among the people were busy crowds and bustling scenes.

After many days of unannounced visits, apart from the corruption of some local officials, Fat Ling didn't find any major cases, and the Iron Hands didn't even see a shadow.

I just overheard a piece of news that the port in Yangzhou often recruits villagers to open up overseas.

After careful visits, Di Renjie found that most of the families whose families traveled overseas with the fleet were relatively well-to-do.

After asking, I found out that those people's families were not very good, and they were desperate to let the men in the family go overseas for adventure.

Except for a few people who lost their lives, the vast majority of people made a windfall overseas, or returned home with silver or a little gold, and almost no one returned home empty-handed.

After those people changed their family's economic situation, they acted as a demonstration, allowing more people to participate. In some villages and even every family, people went overseas with the fleet for adventure.

Di Renjie was very curious and asked in detail, and finally got a lot of truth from a young man who had a broken leg in an accident while going out to sea.

He didn't expect that the one who organized the sea trip was actually the Iron Hand Group who had disappeared in the rivers and lakes for many years. He heard from the young man that the members of the Iron Hand Group took them out to sea, either to the islands of the Wa Kingdom or to farther tropical regions.

On those islands, they also fought with the local aborigines and killed many overseas savages.Looted a lot of territory.

There are also people from the Iron Hands Group who command the construction of temporary residences to reclaim farmland and build villages, and then look for mines to mine and smelt gold and silver.

Di Renjie listened with gusto, and was also thinking secretly in his heart. Now he somewhat understood what the empress was worried about.

It would be terrible if Yuan Qi was really related to the Tie Shou Tuan. King Ying's reputation in Jiangnan is too good, not to mention that it is almost the same. If there is a well-organized Tie Shou Tuan secretly amassing wealth and smelting steel, he will really rebel in the future The consequences are unimaginable.

What worried him was more than that. In fact, Di Renjie felt that Yuan Qi was still very loyal to the queen, and would often offer up any good things in his hand, which made all the officials in the court classify him as a member of the military party.

Although those ministers loyal to Li Tang enjoyed the dividends brought by Yuan Qi, they were afraid that they all wanted to kill the popular person in the eyes of the empress.

Judging from the current situation, King Ying should not change when the queen is alive, because she is afraid that after she controls the dragon and bintian, the crown prince will ascend the throne, and the Li party in the court will liquidate the military party...

Di Renjie suddenly felt that this trip to the south of the Yangtze River was more difficult than the major cases encountered in the past.

As time went by, no matter how slow the imperial envoy's ship was, it still arrived in Yangzhou.

Li Han led all the officials in Yangzhou to welcome the imperial envoy, but he was lonely. Zeng Tai on board refused their visit on the grounds that the imperial envoy was ill.

Li Han and others had no choice but to return to the Taishou Mansion in Yangzhou to discuss the matter. Regardless of whether it was an upright or corrupt official, it was impossible not to pay attention to the matter that the superiors came to investigate.

They were a little flustered when the imperial envoys didn't show up. The fact is that the people in the officialdom checked carefully and there were a few people who didn't have a little bit of buttocks.

It doesn't matter how they negotiate, let's talk about Du Yu, after transferring the core members of the Iron Hands to Temasek, he let go of the big stone in his heart.

Although he doesn't pay much attention to the world of Shendi, he doesn't want to lose his existing wealth, and the value of the real estate alone has been astronomical in operating in Jiangnan for many years, bringing him innumerable benefits every year.

The most important thing is that Yangzhou has a large population, providing him with countless manpower to develop the resources of the entire world, which can replenish supplies for the Water Margin World and the Hong Kong Comprehensive World.

Du Yu didn't want to lose King Ying's tiger skin, so he had no choice but to avoid Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang.

He felt that his reaction was fast enough, but he didn't expect to be found out by two people.When he heard Leopard Chong say that he found someone sneaking around the port to investigate, he realized that it was not good.

Du Yu guessed that it might be Li Yuanfang, so he planned to take a look, so he came to the secret base near Chuanlonggang.

Coincidentally, that night he saw Li Yuanfang who came to investigate for the nth time.

Du Yu thought for a while and decided to face Guai Ling directly to see if his martial arts had improved. In the past few years, he was either fighting for the world in the Water Margin world, or doing business in the Hong Kong Comprehensive World, or enjoying life in the harem. Martial arts basically I haven't practiced much, if it weren't for the Neidan technique is still persisting, I am afraid that I will regress a lot.

He quickly changed into bunt clothes, slung a Songwen sword on his waist, opened the door, and flew up to the roof with his feet pointing to the ground after opening the door.

Swish!Swish!A few times, it flew not far from Li Yuanfang.

"Brother Yuan Fang, how are you doing after not seeing him for many years?" Du Yu said abruptly.

Li Yuanfang was startled. Before that, his attention was all on the busy crowd at the port, and he didn't notice that someone came quietly to his side.

But he was very confident, but he didn't panic. He just turned his head and couldn't help being taken aback. He was so impressed by the face on the other side.

He was dressed in night clothes but did not cover his face, and his handsome face was full of righteousness. Compared with many years ago, there was not even a big difference, as if the years had not left traces on him.

"It's you?" Li Yuanfang said.

"It's me. I haven't seen you for many years. I wonder if I can fight brother Yuanfang again to prove my martial arts?" Du Yu asked.

"I can't wish for it, but here..." Li Yuanfang was a little hesitant. After all, this is not the Di Mansion, and it is not a good place to practice martial arts.

"Since Brother Yuanfang has concerns, let's change places and follow me." Du Yu said.

After all, he didn't look at Li Yuanfang, and flew into the distance with both feet.

Li Yuanfang turned his head and glanced at the secret base, and followed behind in a heartbeat.

The two walked for about three miles, one after the other, and came to a spacious courtyard. There was no one there, but the surrounding walls were covered with lanterns and torches to illuminate the courtyard.

"Brother Yuanfang, this is my other courtyard, you can rest assured that there is no ambush inside." Du Yu said.

Li Yuanfang smiled and said: "Although I don't know the name of your subordinate, I can trust you based on the incident many years ago."

"Brother Yuanfang, please!" After saying that, Du Yu pulled out the Songwen sword from his waist and held it in his hand, making a gesture of please.

Li Yuanfang pulled out the chain knife from his waist, and said: "It's fine to learn martial arts, but I hope that after this time, I can know the name and origin of my step."

"Okay, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose. I'll tell brother Yuanfang after this match." Du Yu said.

"Brother, I've offended you!" Li Yuanfang said.

After all, he raised his knife and slashed.

Du Yu swung his sword to meet him, and the two immediately fought together.

Compared with the competition many years ago, both of them have made progress.Li Yuanfang's martial arts improved very quickly in actual combat, and Du Yu felt the pressure as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Guai Ling's knife is faster and more powerful than in previous years, and has rich experience in actual combat. It can often break Yuan Buji's strange tricks with a single blow.

"Haha, let's have a good fight with brother Yuanfang." Du Yu said.

"I also feel the same way. After many years of life and death, I still feel that I have gained the most from playing against Xiongtai." Li Yuanfang said.

After finishing speaking, the two laughed loudly, and the movements of their hands were [-]% faster.
