The change in the western mountain of Chongqing Prefecture spread throughout Shuzhou in just a short time.

It was also transmitted to all parts of Ningguo through the Shuzhou Ancient Road or the Yangtze River shipping.

This is certainly shocking news!

This news is as important as the emperor's death!

After all, there is no emperor in Ningguo today, and the regent is the emperor's position!

His importance is no different from that of the emperor!

What's more, the five-year plan he planned for Ningguo when he was alive has now been unfolding throughout Jiangnan Road.

The newly appointed officials are really trying their best to implement the national policy to boost industry and commerce. Although the days are still short and there is no great effect, for the merchants in Jiangnan Road, they have already felt the huge changes this new policy will bring to them.

The merchants in Jiangnan Road have become active.

Because they have keenly perceived the business opportunities of this new policy.

Jiangnan Road Prefecture.

Pingjiang City.

Su's house.

The head of the Su family, Su Zi, whose courtesy name is Mingtang.

He was sitting in the water pavilion in the back garden, silently cooking a pot of tea.

Sitting opposite him was an old man in luxury clothes.

He is Fan Changrong, the head of the Fan family in Jiangnan, and his family also has a silk shop.

At this moment, Fan Changrong sighed casually, looked at Su Zi, and said, "Cousin Ming, it seems that the matter in Shuzhou has indeed come true."

"In the past few days, some words have been circulated among our merchants in Jiangnan Road."

"I am here today to ask my cousin Ming, the workshop we have built together... Should I stop for the time being and see if there will be any changes in the court next?"

Su Zi poured a cup of tea for Fan Changrong and handed it over.

The Regent died in Xishan, Shuzhou. What the merchants in Jiangnan Road were worried about whether the new policies he left behind would be revived due to his departure.

This is normal.

Throughout the dynasties, not only changes in national policies will occur when dynasties change, but even in the same dynasty, the change of imperial power is likely to cause changes in national policies.

One day the emperor and another day the minister.

One day the emperor has a new policy.

The Regent decided to boost industry and commerce, which was a huge benefit for craftsmen and merchants.

For farmers, there is no obvious benefit.

But the farming thing is what all emperors attach the most importance to.

Although the new emperor has not ascended the throne yet, he is already on his way back to Kyoto.

After he ascended the throne, how likely would he focus his national policy on agriculture?

No one could predict it.

Su Zi was also very worried.

After all, what you invest is real money. Once the national policy changes, you will lose all your money if you don’t do it well.

Fan Changrong’s worries are not without reason.

"The eldest son of the emperor is Xiao Wu... His name is Ning Zhinian now."

"As far as I know, Xiao Wu and the Regent are brothers and sisters. Perhaps after he ascended the throne, he would not change the national policy set by the Regent."

There was still a lot of worry between Fan Changrong's eyebrows.

"Cousin Ming, but we dare not go bet!"

"Qingxi Workshop, the money invested according to the plan is a huge amount of millions of taels!"

"In order to provide the raw materials for Qingxi workshop, we have also booked many farmers to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms... The spring silkworms are about to form cocoons, which requires a huge amount of money."

"If the new emperor wants to suppress the throne after ascending the throne, if he returns to his previous appearance, cousin Ming..."

Fan Changrong leaned over, gently knocked on the table, and whispered: "If we don't do it well, we will be doomed!"

"After all, the emperor calls himself an idiot. He didn't know that he was the eldest son of the emperor. He and the regent call him brothers, which is very beneficial to him."

"Now that the Regent is dead, he also knows that he is the eldest son of the emperor, and he also knows that he will become the emperor of Ningguo when he returns to Kyoto!"

"Although he is a deaf person, the emperor is the emperor!"

"He can't just say nothing, he can also make nine tripods!"

"You said, at this time, will he still think about the brotherly relationship between him and the Regent?"

"Besides, this eldest son of the emperor has not received a good education. How many good opinions can he have on national policies and policies?"

"I am worried that he has tasted the sweetness of power, and he is stubborn and has given the officials of Shoufu Wen and others, and then came up with a self-righteous policy of harming the country and the people..."

"Cousin Ming, by then, it's too late for us to get out of here."

"Although you will lose some money now, it's better than returning from nothing, right?"

Su Zi brought the teacup and took a sip, "So, wait a little longer."

"What are you waiting for?"

"When I write a letter to Lord Wang Zheng and Jin Zhong, I will also ask Yi'an... In addition, I will visit Lord Huo, Jiangnan Weaving Manufacturer, and Lord Chen Fang, the platform of our Jiangnan Road."

Su Zi put down the teacup and stroked his long beard, "I was thinking that since this eldest son of the emperor was supported by Zhongli Mansion... Zhongli Mansion already has many businesses, and the Regent should have been the son-in-law of Zhongli Mansion."

"Maybe Zhongli's mansion has had some agreement with the eldest son of the emperor."

"In addition, Wen Shoufu and others were promoted by the Regent, and now they have control over the entire court. The new emperor was born in the grassroots and he has no foundation."

"Shoufu Wen and others are the supporters of the new policy of the Regent..."

"If the new emperor wants to overthrow the new policy set by the Regent, it may not be easy!"

Fan Changrong pondered for a moment and nodded, "Cousin Ming's words are reasonable!"

"Then... cousin Ming will tell me if he has news."

"Okay, the construction of Qingxi workshop cannot be stopped, and the recruitment of recruitment cannot be stopped, especially the recruitment of craftsmen... If the loom can be successfully transformed before it is put into production, you and me may have an excellent opportunity!"

Fan Changrong stood up, "Then I will do it now and say goodbye!"

Su Zi stood up and said, "Well, I will tell you the news!"

Fan Changrong bowed and turned around and left.

Su Zi watched his back disappear, walked out of the water pavilion, stood beside the fence and looked at the lotus in the pond.

In my eyes, there was still some unconcealable worry.

There are many people who are as worried as Fan Changrong.

Not just businessmen.

Now, many prefecture officials from Kyoto are also so worried.

Although I was worried, the new emperor had not returned to Beijing to ascend the throne and became emperor. No new documents were sent from the three provinces, so everything was still carried out according to the past.

But there was a little more nervousness in their hearts and they were all watching quietly.

They are waiting.

After the new emperor ascends the throne, we will see if there will be new changes in the policy.

It's the best to remain unchanged.

If it changes again...

Kyoto.

Royal Palace.

Government Affairs Hall.

Wen Zhuoyu held a meeting of officials above the third rank.

"The regent's death to the country is a huge loss for Ningguo!"

"The deceased is gone, and we must not lose hope because of this!"

"The eldest son of the emperor is on his way back to Beijing, and I believe everyone already knows who the eldest son of the emperor is."

"What I want to tell you is... the national policy of the Regent will never change!"

"What we have to do now is not to wait and see!"

"But continue to work harder and more conscientiously on the road pioneered by the Regent... overcome all obstacles and move forward!"

He paused for a moment and said very seriously:

"The general trend is unstoppable!"
Chapter completed!
