Chapter 735 Crisis Warning

The casinos and brothels in the Sanzhou Free Trade Zone are unexpectedly hot, and Dali and Xianbei are collecting money every day.

All this, in addition to the ban on gambling and prostitution in Pingzhou, which has led to the influx of people with needs, another reason is that the timing of the establishment of the free trade zone is very good.

It is autumn and winter, and the people are idle after the autumn harvest. Many young and strong people will go out to do some short-term work to supplement their family income. In addition, Dali’s publicity of the free trade zone is very good, and it is often publicized that someone has made a fortune in the Victory Casino.

As the saying goes, poverty breeds evil schemes. In the past two years, the people of Dali have lived a hard life.

Therefore, countless people have come to Qingyanxu Sanzhou one after another. Some of these people came to find work, while others came with the sole purpose of making a fortune.

Wang Yun looked at the casinos with people coming and going, and he was happy every day.

The officials of Pingzhou were also worried about this.

Mainly, the people of Pingzhou were also tempted.

Ji Wuyin said, "Governor, are we just going to keep silent when we are beaten or scolded? Let Dali use the casino to squeeze the wealth and sweat of the people of Pingzhou?" He felt heartbroken when he thought of the silver and money that Dali had plundered. You know, a lot of the silver and money was taken out from their Ji's bank.

Before Lu Songli spoke, others had something to say.

Xue Xu couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "Don't be anxious, and don't urge the governor. This matter is originally caused by human greed. It's better to relieve it than to block it. If you have a way, just mention it. If you don't have a way, it's useless to get anxious and angry!"

Ji Wuyin was not afraid of him, "Why do you want me to keep silent? I can't do it. I'm stupid, but I believe the governor must have a way." What's wrong with him feeling heartbroken when he thought of the silver and money flowing out?

Facing the officials who were arguing endlessly, Lu Songli stretched out his hand and pressed them down to make them quiet down.

"Don't worry, everyone. The relevant measures are already under construction. Once our secret weapon is unveiled, Dali and Xianbei will only be able to stare blankly."

Ji Wuyin became excited when he heard it, "Still under construction? Then let them speed up! Can Lord Zhang do it?" You know, if it is completed one day later, how much money will be lost to Dali.

Ji Ran, who is in charge of the state treasury, couldn't help but scold him, "Speeding up construction doesn't cost money? Labor and material costs, now the treasury is empty, what can we use to speed up?"

Ji Wuyin, Gu Huaisheng, Pei Zheng and other masters who hold a lot of money all look at Lu Songli.

Ji Wuyin was the first to express his opinion, "Governor, if our Pingzhou government office is short of money, just tell us." We will lend it to you.

Lu Songli smiled, "I'm not in a hurry." Then she looked at Ji Ran, "How is it?"

Ji Ran immediately said, "Governor, our Pingzhou's current finances are very tight."

Wars are fought for food, money, and materials. In the previous battle, Pingzhou launched an all-out attack on Dali and Xianbei. Although they achieved fruitful results, they consumed a lot of food and grass. It can be said that they almost emptied all the warehouses in Pingzhou.

In order to maintain stability, the conquered territory was not plundered on a large scale, and various appeasement measures were taken, but the money collected was actually very little.

Not to mention that they also have to build roads...

In short, the newly conquered territory has no fruits to pick for the time being.

If it weren't for the good harvest this year, they would have collected a batch of tax grain in Pingzhou after the autumn harvest, and the warehouses would be so empty that rats could run away.

Lv Songli nodded, "I know."

"And the Seventh Institute of Engineering predicts that this year will be a year of heavy snowfall. Governor, we must be prepared for it."

Although affected by Pingzhou, the newly included people in Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou all have heated kangs at home, but if they really encounter a heavy snowstorm, it is still very troublesome, and many people usually die.

Lv Songli nodded solemnly, indicating that she knew, and Lv Mingzhi had reminded her of this before.

Hearing this news, the officials present all looked solemn. In the face of natural disasters, people are actually very powerless. If such a disaster really happens, they don't know how much they will lose in Pingzhou.

Lv Songli comforted them, "Don't worry too much." She has sent someone to Bingzhou and will be prepared for it.

Xie Zhan and Fan Yang sat opposite each other.

Looking at the masked head of the family opposite, Fan Yang sighed that the emperor really loved the head of the family.

When he received a secret letter a while ago and learned that the head of the family was not dead, to be honest, he was very surprised.

Later, when he learned the truth, he could only sigh that it was fate.

It was also Xie Wei's bad luck that he had an accident on the way back to Chang'an. The emperor had already lost a great general and could not bear to lose the humerus of the head of the family. It was understandable that he reused Xie Wei's body.

Xie Wei was the brother of the head of the family and a member of the Xie family. It was also right to sacrifice the body for the Xie family.

After learning the truth, Fan Yang subconsciously refused to think deeply about it.

"What is the situation in Chang'an?" Xie Zhan asked.

Fan Yang shook his head, "Not very good. Many old ministers are clamoring to move the capital. And the emperor sleeps more and wakes up less." It should be said that the emperor has been awake for no more than an hour.

In short, the chaos in Chang'an is beginning to emerge.

Xie Zhan knew very well that Song Mo did not dare to die. He was just hanging on to his life.

After talking about Chang'an, Fan Yang talked about another matter, "Wang Yun did a good job in the Qingyanxu Three Provinces Free Trade Zone."

"Taking this opportunity, Wang Yun used the casinos he opened in the Sanzhou Free Trade Zone to make a lot of money and gave Dali a big blow. If it continues, the people of Pingzhou will be sucked dry, and Pingzhou will not be able to live well."

Xie Zhan shook his head, "It's still uncertain, Pingzhou hasn't made a move yet."

To be precise, Lu Songli hasn't made a move yet. Everything has to wait until she makes a move before it can be concluded.

Fan Yang was surprised, "Pingzhou should be unable to do anything about the casinos and brothels in the free trade zone, right?"

He admitted that Lu Songli was very powerful, but gambling is a human inferiority. What can Lu Songli do to stop it?

"After all, it's better to relieve it than to block it."

It's much easier to indulge than to work hard on self-discipline.

How can ordinary people have such strong self-control in the face of temptation?

Even if Lu Songli reacted in the end and wanted to defeat the magic with magic, it would be too late, right?

The casino opened by Wang Yun has various ways to play...

The brothels and brothels he opened also have all kinds of men and women, fat and thin. Even because of the support of Xianbei, there are many young men and women with exotic styles.

And both of them have already made a name for themselves. Even if Pingzhou follows up, it will be difficult to compete, right?

"Let's not talk about this." Xie Zhan knows Lv Songli. She has not made any moves, allowing Dali and Xianbei to show off their power in the Sanzhou Free Trade Zone. She must be holding back a big move.

Before she makes a move, he can't guess who will win or lose.

Xie Zhan mentioned a piece of news he had recently received, "According to the prediction of experienced farmers, the weather this winter will be very abnormal, and it is estimated that there will be a heavy snowstorm."

Hearing this, Fan Yang's eyes lit up, "General, are you serious?"

If there is a heavy snowstorm, wouldn't Pingzhou in the north be the first to bear the brunt? No, it also includes Xianbei, who will be affected as well. On the contrary, their Dali was not affected that much.

Xie Zhan nodded, "It should be true."

He checked a lot of information. Every few years, there will be a heavy snowstorm. The last large-scale snowstorm was six or seven years ago. Some of the current signs are in line with the omen of a heavy snowstorm.

Fan Yang clapped his hands and smiled, "That's great."

Xie Zhan nodded. Yes, Pingzhou is too smooth. Since the establishment of Pingzhou's power, it has not suffered a major disaster.

When thinking about this, Fan Yang felt jealous, "I have to admit that sometimes luck is also a kind of strength."

Xie Zhan shook his head, "Although this is true, if you haven't experienced it, you can't see Pingzhou's ability to deal with large-scale disasters."

This time, let them take a good look at how Pingzhou deals with this crisis.
