Chapter 66: Economic Frontier (1)
"Come on! His Majesty the Emperor washed the child's clothes! Qi Hongyi put his son into the bathtub while putting the clothes he had just taken off from the little guy on the stool next to him. The water in the bath has been in the sun for several hours, and the temperature of the water is not far from body temperature. The shallow water was just enough to bury the little one's waist, and with the mother's gentle hands holding it, the little one showed his white teeth, laughing and trying to grab his mother's arm.
Wei Ze quickly washed his son's clothes that he had taken off, his hands were busy, and his mouth was not idle. Wei Ze smiled: "It seems that you want to go back to Jiangning." Could it be that the rich and noble do not return to their hometowns, such as brocade clothes and night walks? ”
The husband and wife are used to bickering, Qi Hongyi smiled and said: "If you are the emperor, it is naturally you who are crowned by the monkey, I don't want to be a monkey." While laughing with her husband, Qi Hongyi scooped water with a porcelain bowl and gently rinsed it on her son. That's what she really cares about right now.
The clothes are washed every day, so the washing-excellent-excellent-small-said-more-new-most-fast-WWW.UUXS.CC-very quickly, Wei Ze also replied slowly: "I, I'm going to design Guangzhou City well, build it almost and then go." Urban construction needs a model. I'm not at ease with these people right now. ”
The child's skin is tender, and the bath time can't be too long, Qi Hongyi quickly fished out the wet son from the bathtub and put it on the big towel on the bed. The little thing probably felt itchy, and he giggled, his hands and feet fluttering against the towel in his mother's hand. But the mother, who has an absolute advantage in body and speed, quickly wiped off the little things, put on some talcum powder and changed into a set of clean clothes. At this time, Wei Ze had already washed and dried the child's changed clothes.
A fence was installed next to the big bed of Wei Ze's house, and the little one was put inside, and the husband and wife sat next to them and watched their son crawl back and forth carefree, making a completely incomprehensible sound from his mouth. Qi Hongyi sighed contentedly, "Taking a child every day is like fighting a war." Wees, why don't you like to have someone to serve you? ”
Listening to his wife's question, Wei Ze replied very seriously: "I have seen some quite remarkable characters, and the most remarkable thing about them is that they have their own lives from birth to death. Even when they are seventy or eighty years old, they can still live on their own. For them, life is all about doing what they have to do every day. They never have to rely on others to prove their lives. It doesn't matter what power or status they have, these people can really have a clear conscience. ”
Qi Hongyi was amused by Wei Ze's longing tone, and she laughed, "Haha! I said, Your Majesty, you don't want our son to be like you, do you? ”
Weser nodded, "Of course I hope he can be like me, and I even hope he can surpass me." ”
Qi Hongyi grabbed Wei Ze's arm, and the smile on his face gradually faded, "Wei Ze, as the founding king, how is it possible for you to ask future generations to defeat you?" ”
Wei Ze listened to his wife's words, and also felt pity for the parents of the world, he smiled helplessly, and said to his wife: "If they want to be emperors, then they must beat me." If future generations fail to overcome me, they will die. Now the Manchus are an example. The Manchu Qing Dynasty won the world, and it was purely a hero who made the erector famous. The current Manchu emperors may not be too far behind the founding of the country, but the times have changed. You see, after the restoration of military industry, commerce, and land reform, after these new developments, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was completely powerless. This era is developing too fast, so I have to follow the times. Whoever can keep up with the times, who can lead the times, will be the winner. ”
The question is too realistic, too heavy. Qi Hong commented that Wei Ze didn't mean to "plan for his children and grandchildren" at all, and she was not happy. Sitting up straight, Qi Hongyi said: "Wei Ze, the world has finally stabilized, why do you want to make the world chaotic." You are the emperor and canonized the crown prince, and this order is settled. At that time, you can do whatever you want to do. ”
As soon as he mentioned being the emperor, Wei Ze had a headache. He waved his hand at his wife, "Dear! I think you can see that I have no interest in the title of Emperor. Why? Because too many bastards have tarnished this title. So many immortal heroes have been crowned with the title of emperor, not that the title of emperor makes them stronger and more glorious, but that these heroes and heroes make the title of emperor full of weight. In fact, I now think that the real emperor is only the first emperor, and everyone else has made various changes to the social system created by the first emperor's revolution. And now that I'm Weser out, then I can also push for the revolution. In the next few hundred years, no one will be able to match the two of us in history. ”
Qi Hongyi listened to Wei Ze say something unashamed, she was silent at first, and then sneered, "Hehe! Wei Ze, are you trying to suck out the qi of future generations? People say that the predecessors planted trees and the later generations enjoyed the shade, and the future generations were recognized as a success. Yes, the first emperor abolished the division of feuds, set up counties and counties, the book is the same text, and the car is on the same track. This is really a social revolution through and through. But what happened to him after he did all this? II died. Wei Ze, when compiling a brief history, many things in the article on the fall of the Qin State were still written by you, and I really admired it after reading it. But Wei Ze, what happened to the First Emperor after the revolution? The revolutionary new regime led to huge problems in the Qin state, and internal fratricidal order quickly collapsed. Weeser, I really admire you, and I think it is possible for you to achieve the revolution you want. But after the revolution, are you going to let the example of the death of the second be repeated? ”
was so violently criticized by his own historian who had been tempered in his work, and Wei Ze couldn't stand the heaviness of this history. Since Wei Ze himself couldn't shout 'Down with the emperor and achieve a republic', he could only resist weakly: "That's not the case! ”
"It's not that, what's it?" Qi Hongyi immediately asked.
Weeser replied, "When I establish this country, you will know what is going on." I have official business, let's go first! ”
Regardless of whether his wife was unhappy or not, Wei Ze hugged Qi Hongyi, kissed her on the face, and then slipped away.
When I entered the office, the first document was that Vietnam had sent envoys again, and they asked the Liberation Army to send troops to divide the recaptured land equally on both sides. Seeing that the Vietnamese finally couldn't stand it anymore, Wei Ze was very happy in his heart. Recently, the call for sending troops to Vietnam has become louder and louder, and some people even think that there is no need to sign a treaty before the Vietnamese side, and that they should just drive the French away. The French frenzied attack on Vietnam, and as a direct result, Vietnam's rice exports became less and less.
At this time, a large number of troops of the Guangfu Army entered the northern provinces, and the pressure on food supply in the Liangguang region was reduced. However, the reduction in food supply on the Vietnamese side is still not an acceptable problem, and Vietnamese and Siam rice is still an indispensable and important pillar of the two provinces. If we want to restore the supply of rice to Vietnam, we must stabilize the Nguyen Dynasty regime, and a stable and obedient Nguyen Dynasty government can guarantee the supply of stable rice.
The first of the two most important points in southern Vietnam is Saigon, which was called Ho Chi Minh City in the Weze era, which was a very important city. The second is Cam Ranh Bay. Once this famous military port becomes Chinese territory, it will become the fulcrum of future attacks in Southeast Asia.
Foreign wars must go through the discussion of the Central Committee, and at the meeting, Zhang Jujunfeng of the General Staff raised a question. "The climate in southern Vietnam is warm and humid, so is it suitable for growing rubber?"
Wei Ze remembered that the climate and land of the entire Indochina Peninsula and even the whole of Southeast Asia were suitable for growing cash crops such as rubber and palm. According to Wei Ze's friends who sell vegetables to Southeast Asia, Southeast Asia is an important vegetable export market for China. There are a large number of plantations in those areas, and the plantations are suitable for cash crops, so Southeast Asia imports a lot of Chinese vegetables.
Listening to Weese make it clear that South Vietnam was suitable for growing rubber, all the members of the Central Committee unanimously agreed to go to war against France. Ju Junfeng even shouted: "Let's vote now!" ”
I'm going to go! That's too realistic, isn't it? Weser was shocked. As far as Wei Ze knows, the bulk of the recent money of the Liberation Army is no longer metal products, but liberation shoes. After all, metal products are a durable product, buy a kitchen knife can be used for several years, sickles and other farm tools can also be used for several years, and the demand for metal products in the liberated areas is gradually decreasing.
Bicycles and other steel-intensive products are in short supply, but they are limited in production capacity and cannot even meet the needs of the system. Now the advanced workers are rewarded with bicycle subscription coupons, and after getting bicycle subscription coupons, they can't buy them immediately with money, so they have to wait in line.
In the past two years, thanks to trade, a large amount of rubber has been purchased from South America. In addition, the rubber trees planted by the Liberation Army in 1855 also began to tap rubber. Jiefang shoes began to enter the private market. And it was a sensation. After the land reform, the people had some money in their hands, and a pair of rubber shoes was almost subversive for the lives of ordinary people. The army can save an hour or two a day because of the use of liberation shoes. It is also extremely important for people to save half an hour a day. Not to mention that with liberation shoes, it is much easier for everyone to walk long distances. Mobility has also been greatly improved. Every new batch of shoes must be published in the newspaper before entering the sales channel. People who come to buy can queue up one night in advance.
Not only the Chinese buy it, but also the British and Americans. They don't understand the vulcanization process of rubber, but they know that the rubber soled shoes are strong and durable. The price is more than 30% higher than the sales in China. American businessmen who sell oil to China bought 50,000 pairs of rubber shoes in one go at a 40 percent markup and shipped them back home. The sales are good, so he came to ask for another 100,000 pairs this time, but the domestic supply of the Guangfu Army cannot be satisfied, where is there so much that can be provided to the international market. So the American businessman begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and even Wei Ze knew about it.
Everybody counts. After all, imported rubber is expensive, and if the Guangfu Army can stabilize the production of rubber by itself, then every penny earned will fall into their own pockets. It's just that the army has also begun to think about the national economy, and Wei Ze really doesn't know whether he should be happy about social progress or worried about the vigorous rise of the empire's righteous ideas.
As the chairman of the Liberation Party, Wei Ze also had to perform his duties. In the anticipation of the impatient members of the Central Committee, Weeser asked for a vote. Five minutes later, the Central Committee of the Liberation Party unanimously voted to go to war against the French army in Annam. R1058
