The plank road was built openly and crossed Chencang secretly, and at the cost of offending the provincial officialdom and border troops, the "glorious isolation" of Qiongguan County was realized. The medicine sold in Ye Xingyuan's gourd was to seek the construction of the "Qiongguan Special Zone".

For the time being, he only mentioned this plan to Mrs. Li and Concubine Qing. Mrs. Li did not ask whether it was right or wrong, but supported her with all her strength. Concubine Qing was the first supporter of the concept that Ye Xingyuan won.

For such a strange woman in history, how could she let go as long as she is given a prospect of "equality between men and women". Concubine Qing didn't want a smart and wise woman like her to fall into the mud, hoping that they could control their own destiny. Driven by this motivation, she not only turned into Ye Xingyuan's supporters, but also took the initiative to check for her omissions, for fear that she would make mistakes and fail.

The construction of the special zone was not a sudden idea. Ye Xingyuan considered this possibility when he asked to guard the border. Although he did not think that it would be implemented at that time, Qiongguan did have several advantages suitable for pilot reforms.

First, Qiongguan is located on the border, and the people are mainly human race, demons and barbarians live in harmony. Relatively speaking, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the atmosphere is relatively open, and it is no longer the center of saints and culture. This is an ideological advantage.

Second, because it is adjacent to monsters and barbarians, it can serve as a trading point on the border and has room for developing a commercial economy.

Third, it is rich in minerals, coal and iron, and can even be self-sufficient in preliminary industrialization.

Fourth, because the chaos in the northwest began, the forces of all parties were mixed, and the court lost its strong control, Qiongguan could have enough freedom.

So after the war, Ye Xingyuan didn't care about the rewards at all, but devoted his efforts to persuade the emperor to establish the Qiongguan Special Zone. What kind of name can be used to temporarily suppress the rebound of the bureaucratic system. As long as Ye Xingyuan can be given one or two years, cooked rice and cooked rice, and the general trend will be together, no one will be able to stop him.

The one who is worried is how chaos in the northwest will be, and whether it will affect the construction of the special zone. Ye Xingyuan needs chaos here, but it cannot be too disordered. This more subtle grasp is that Qingfei, who once disrupted the grassland, is the best.

After Ye Qingfei was summoned, she talked with Ye Xingyuan all night, and was fascinated by her heart and prostrated herself. She knew the distribution of the northwest forces as she knew.

"In the provincial capital Luanzhou, the governor and governor are all mediocre people and have no intention of operating the Jianmen. They will probably be transferred when they are in office, so there is no need to worry about them." This wave is also what Ye Xingyuan looked down upon the most. He has no ability or foundation. He probably just has experience in the Jianmen. Needless to say, Qingfei, Ye Xingyuan didn't take them seriously.

"The Western Army was in a long time. At the beginning of this dynasty, Zhao, Yang, Zong, and European generals would have set up hills among the Western Army. If it weren't for the Jingnan Campaign, Yang and Zong's two families were greatly hit. Otherwise, the court would have lost control of the Western Army long ago. Outside the northwest border, it would have been a separatist state.

However, now that Wuyanshan is under the control of the old general Zhao, the Western Army will not have any major changes within a few years. In addition, the commander Hong is an outsider. Although he is tough, it is difficult to completely control the border army. Besides, he is too domineering and has been here for a short time. I am afraid that once General Zhao dies, chaos will surely occur."

General Zhao was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and had a high prestige among the Western Army. Although he had no military power now, the leaders in the army listened to him. As long as he did not die, the Western Army would not be in chaos. As for the three-sided governor Hong Dade, he was also skilled. Unfortunately, his roots were not in the army but in the civil service system, so he was like duckweed after all, which was not enough to cause great trouble.

The news that Qingfei received was that this person had been targeted by the officials in the court, so he had removed his armor and returned to the field.

Ye Xingyuan didn't care about Hong Dade's fate and pondered: "General Zhao is getting stronger and stronger, and there will be no problem in living for another three or five years. This has given Qiongguan Special Zone enough time to grow. Why does he care about me? Perhaps he can still have a relationship with the Western Army..."

Concubine Qing immediately retorted: "Zhao Muye is an upright and upright person. Qiongguan County is surrounded. In order to cherish his talents, he can travel thousands of miles to save you. But if you say you want to do business with him, he can beat you out with sticks. It's better to find a way to find the three-sided governor's yamen or simply Xifengguan Qian General."

Ye Xingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "I have completely offended Xifeng Pass. Besides, I am too close to it. I must stop the influence of Xifeng Pass garrison on the special zone. I am afraid that this road will not be available."

Qingfei smiled and said, "If you have money, how can these veterans let go? Even if you kill his biological parents, as long as you have money, he will be willing to turn a blind eye. The latter is worth considering, but if you want to trade with Xifengguan, at least one or two years after the Special Administrative Region is established, you don't have to worry at that time."

Ye Xingyuan nodded and said, "There are no eternal friends or enemies, only eternal interests." At this time, he would cut off contact with Xifeng, and of course he could reunite with him after a year or two.

"Then it is the demon barbarian..." This is actually an important direction for Ye Xingyuan's development. Qingfei thought seriously for a while and said: "The main force of the demon clan is concentrated in the Northeast to prepare for the founding of a country. This place is just a few weak races who are scattered soldiers and brave. It is easy to deal with it. They are also an important means to balance the barbarian clans.

The barbarians moved eastward, just a mountain from Qiongguan. There is an ancient road for merchants to travel. If they open a market in Qiongguan County, there will be no trouble for them to travel from now on."

The demon, the barbarian must no longer be an enemy, but become a business partner. Ye Xingyuan understands this very well. The peaceful environment special zone can only develop rapidly as a window. Fortunately, he quickly ran and moved eastward, blocking the other barbarian tribes. This tribe was rich and had never participated in the siege of Qiongguan County. There was no blood feud, and business could be done.

"Look at the bandits again... Jianmen has many bandits since ancient times. Now there are Golden Sword Wu Tianhua entrenched on Woniu Mountain and gathered 100,000 people. Supervisor Hong was ordered to suppress the bandits, but the more they suppressed them, they are one of the variables. Within about two or three years, due to changes in the world, they may conquer nearby prefectures and counties. Fortunately, they are far away from Qiongguan and will not have an immediate impact.

I’m afraid they cut off the road, which will affect the transportation of materials. After all, if it is to develop, Qiongguan must purchase a large amount of grain and other materials from the mainland.”

Woniu Mountain is not near the official road, but if they set up a few county towns, they may be blocking the north and south, and traffic will become a problem at that time.

The Golden Sword Wu Tianhua is a medium and small bandit army among the bandits in the northwest. He may not dare to cause trouble on his own initiative, but if several bandits in the neighboring province take action together, he may also respond from afar.

Ye Xingyuan sighed: "If Commander Hong can destroy Woniu Mountain, or just recruit him, it would be fine. Unfortunately, he is unsure of suppressing and pursuing the enemy, and he is suspected of raising the enemy and respecting himself. In the future, he will inevitably raise tigers. This person is incompetent and stubborn, so no wonder he can't stand his footing."

If there is only one bandit, Hong Dade plays the trick of raising the bandits to respect themselves and consolidates his position in the Western Army and the Northwest by the way. Wu Tianhua has no ambitions and is not considered a hero, so he can control it as much as possible.

However, the situation in the northwest is now in a corruption and the neighboring provinces are completely out of control. As long as there is a slight boost, it will be a situation where sparks are spreading. Hong Dade is playing with fire.

The bandits in Woniu Mountain are considered a hidden danger in the Qiongguan Special Zone.

"But..." Qingfei smiled again, "The young master has a good relationship with Dinghe Dragon Palace. If the road is cut off in the future, supplies can be taken from Dinghe and Fenhe River. If you walk on the water road, you will be both quick and cheap."

Dinghe Dragon Palace is another influential force around it, but Ye Xingyuan is not very friendly with them, but is obviously evil. He said laughably and cryingly: "I killed the black fish spirit, offended the Dinghe Dragon King, and blackmailed a treasure from Taixingjun. They are not that easy to talk to, right?"

The Dragon Palace is not like Xifeng Pass, which can be won by economic interests. After all, there is everything in the Crystal Palace, and wealth can rival a country. They may not be able to appreciate the small profits of a fly.

Qingfei nodded and said, "Therefore, we need to find a way to improve the relationship and be a backup plan. The young master has not yet married, so he can also consider winning the Dragon Princess. After marriage, he can become one."

Ye Xingyuan remembered that his ninth-generation child body had not yet settled, and coughed and said, "I'm discussing this matter again. Anyway, it's not urgent. Just take a quick look."

Under Qingfei's analysis, the surrounding forces in Qiongguan County were complicated, but they just gave this small county town room to operate and move. However, if you want to develop an economy, the key is to maintain a delicate peaceful relationship with these forces, and to make the conflicts between these forces as much as possible to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

These things have become well-planned. Before that, Ye Xingyuan had to rely on his words to convince the emperor to agree to the matter of the Special Administrative Region.

One day after meeting with Qingfei, Ye Xingyuan was greatly confident and gave a second memorial.

It is still not an application to build the Qiongguan Special Zone, but accusation continued with tears, and the goal is to point to the bosses in the provincial capital. However, this time the wording was even more sad, and the sacrifices of the people were told, which made people feel sad. At the end of the memorial, I begged to punish those who were sitting ignorant, otherwise I would rather leave with a hat.

The provincial governor, governor and others were so angry that they were filled with smoke. At this time, they had no choice but to use Ye Xingyuan. They could only explain to themselves, and there was a chaotic mess for a while.

Emperor Longping saw Ye Xingyuan's letter and wiped his tears and said, "The little monkey has suffered. These clay Bodhisattva officials in the province are really hateful. If I can make arbitrary decisions, I will definitely be killed!"

Eunuch An smiled bitterly and persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't be confused by Ye Xingyuan. His letter cannot be just a matter of surface. Even if the impeachment like this can make the emperor moved, the cabinet will never agree. He never does useless work, and he must have other plans."

Emperor Longping frowned and said, "I guess that's the case, but do you know what this kid wants to do? This time I can't figure it out."

Eunuch An said righteously: "He acts in a unique way, so the emperor waits patiently. In less than a few days, there will be surprises."

Emperor Longping thought about it, so he kept Ye Xingyuan's letter and did not issue it, nor did he give it a letter. The severe punishment of the instructions would inevitably be rejected by the cabinet. If it was said that Ye Xingyuan was not the one who impeached him and he was reluctant to leave, he would simply use the word "drag".
