The hometown of the East China Sea, Jingdong Market.

Wu Haogu's location is the seaside mansion where he lived when he first came to Haizhou.

Later, it became the core of Tianya Commercial Town, and then Tianya Town was merged into Jingdong Commercial City, and he never came again. Now Jingdong Shang City has been occupied by the Republican Army, and Yuzhou Island, which is across the sea from Shang City, is still under the control of the student army of the Great Song Sailor School, loyal to Zhao Kai, the king of Donghai County.

Therefore, the hometown of the East China Sea Kingdom has become the best place for the Republic and the Eastern Song Dynasty to hold peace negotiations.

Wu Haogu arrived in Jingdong Shang City with Pan Qiaolian. The two of them first rode in a carriage and walked around Jingdong Shang City, looking at this important industrial and commercial trade town that was run by Ji Yi and was enough to compete with Tianjin.

Unlike Tianjin, which is very neatly planned, Jingdong Commercial Market looks cluttered. After all, this commercial market is composed of the county seat of Qishan, Tianya commercial town and the commercial town developed by Ji Yi, Lu Jiawen, Zhang Dian and others south of the county seat of Qishan County, as well as Yuzhou Island. It was originally fragmented, but it was not until the era of the East China Sea Kingdom that there was a unified plan, and the old city of Qishan was demolished and a new urban core was built. However, the north and south are still in chaos.

And when Wu Haogu and his wife arrived at Jingdong Commercial Market, this large and chaotic commercial market seemed deserted. Most of the shops are closed, there are no pedestrians on the streets, the wharves are empty, and there are only a few fishing boats in Haizhou Bay, except for a few Republican Navy "truth" class.

Not long ago, Jingdong Commercial Market, which was as prosperous as Tianjin, is now almost empty.

Most of the merchants followed Zhao Kai to Jiangnan! New universities such as Yuntai Academy and Gezhi Academy have also been relocated.

Only some multinational commercial houses that bought and sold between the Zhou and Song dynasties still have a semicolon in JD.com, but Yemen is a big one.

Obviously, the great flood created by Du Chong contributed to another large-scale southward migration of the Central Plains economy!

Originally, Xu and Haizhou, which hoped to replace Kaifeng, Daimyo, and Yingtianfu as the new capitals of the Central Plains, are now in rapid decline.

If the control of the Yellow River and the Huai River cannot be completed as soon as possible, and the canal system of the Central Plains is restored, Xuhai Erzhou may be completely scrapped!

Now that capitalism is in its infancy, I don't know where the trains and railways are? Therefore, the economic development of a place depends entirely on water transportation.

Without an extensive water transport system, it would be impossible to support a developed capitalist industry and commerce.

Therefore, in the coming years, the Republic of the Great Zhou Dynasty must invest heavily in the control of the Yellow River, the Huai and the canal. Otherwise, the industry and commerce of the Central Plains and Yandi will inevitably be defeated by the powerful southeast industry and commerce.

In addition to harnessing the Yellow River, the Huai River, and the canals, resuming industrial and commercial production in Xuzhou and Haizhou as soon as possible is also a top priority for the Great Zhou Republic.

Therefore, this time it is a big team to follow Wu Haogu to the south!

Around his mansion, a whole street was full of luxuriously decorated carriages, and the horses were all tall and large, and they could be used as war horses! The owners of the carriages are all first-class broadmen in Tianjin, and the value of the rich people who temporarily live on this street is enough to repair the Yellow River, the Huai River, and the canal several times, and then use the redemption policy to receive 100 million mu of land......

However, the Great Zhou Republic had no way to slaughter these fat pigs...... They are at least aristocratic citizens! The navy, chartered traders, and armed maritime merchants of the Great Zhou Republic were also among them.

And Wu Haogu himself is actually one of them!

It was also Wu Haogu who called on them to form a group to come to Haizhou and Xuzhou to find investment opportunities.

Although the capitalists in Xuhai and Haizhou ran a lot, they encountered the flooding of the Yellow River and the Huai River, and the fragmentation of the canal system. But there is still a basis for development!

First of all, the salt works and ports in Haizhou, and the coal mines and iron mines in Xuzhou are still there. And some of the skilled workers did not follow. As long as there is enough investment, these industries can be saved.

Secondly, after the Yellow River seized the Huai River, the navigable capacity of the Huai River was greatly enhanced. As long as it does not flood frequently, it is still beneficial to the development of the Huaihe River Basin.

Again, Xu and Hai can still rely on the Central Plains and Huainan - the former has a sufficient population, and the latter has enough food.

The combination of the two, combined with the production methods of the workshop handicrafts, is undoubtedly a huge productive force.

Therefore, in Wu Haogu's vision, Xuzhou and Haizhou are still likely to replace Tianjin and become the new economic center of the Great Zhou Republic!

After all, there is a more than one-month freezing period of the boundary river in Tianjin, which is not very favorable for the trading port.

This meaning is also known to these merchants who came with Wu Hao Gunan.

So these days, they are inspecting all over Xu and Haizhou, desperately looking for a good opportunity to make a fortune.

And Wu Haogu was also very busy, first worshipping his deceased father Wu Chengzhi. Old man Wu is buried on Yuntai Immortal Mountain, very good feng shui, but the tide is a little bit, it is estimated that it will be difficult for people who are engaged in the cause of inverted buckets in later generations to dig up anything good from his grave......

After pretending to be a filial son, Wu Haogu's younger brother Wu Haowen came back from Jiangnan.

He was ordered to go to Jiangnan to meet Zhao Kai and Wu Meiniang and arrange peace talks between the north and the south.

According to him, this new Zhou Dongsong is actually a family!

"Family?" In an attic where he could see the scenery of Yuntai Mountain in the distance, Wu Haogu asked his brother with a smile, "Does the King of the East China Sea still recognize me as Mount Tai?" ”

Wu Haowen shook his head and said, "Big brother, in today's Jiangning Mansion, it is not the King of the East China Sea who is really in power. ”

"Who is it?"

"It's your beautiful girl!" Wu Haowen smiled and said, "The East China Sea Kingdom raised troops and moved south is the idea of Mei Niang, and after arriving in Jiangning, it is she who is the founder of the Thirteen Prefectures. She was also the one who attended the Thirteen-State Constituent Convention and negotiated with the representatives of the states.

So over there in the south of the Yangtze River, in fact, it is the two saints in the dynasty! Maybe our family is going to have a second female emperor! ”

"Really?" Wu Haogu frowned, "Zhao Kai is so useless?" Listen to your wife? ”

Wu Haowen smiled, "He is afraid of his wife in the East China Sea...... You should know that the King of the East China Sea has no side concubines, right? ”

The king of a country has a wife...... And that doesn't tell the story?

Wu Meiniang is certainly beautiful, but she is not to the point where she can turn all beings upside down. And her personality is relatively strong, and her mind is not on confusing men.

Wu Haogu thought for a while, "Mei Niang is doing well...... How did the thirteen states come up with the idea of uniting as a nation? ”

"It's not something she came up with, it's just the general trend." Wu Haowen said, "The foundation of the thirteen states for the country is the southeast merchants. These merchants were raised during the Ji Yi Restoration, and each of them was controlled by a group of maritime merchants. When it came time to issue 10,000,000 bonds, the commercial city autonomy was established...... Chambers of commerce are allowed to organize groups for self-defense. Therefore, by the time the king of the East China Sea moved south, all the merchants in the southeast had the strength to provoke the thirteen states to become the pillars of the country.

Among the thirteen states in the southeast now, Jiangningfu, Runzhou, Yangzhou and other three states are in the hands of the East China Sea Wang Army. In the land of the other ten states, there is not a single soldier of the King of the East China Sea. ”

Wu Haogu nodded and said with a smile: "There are Jiangning Mansion, Yangzhou, and Runzhou, which is enough to master the Yangtze River." With the Yangtze River in hand, the lifeblood of Jiangnan is in hand. The lifeblood of Jiangnan is in hand, and the Eastern Song Dynasty has a future. It seems that the beautiful girl really has the possibility of becoming the heroine!

By the way, how does she want to divide the southeast? It's impossible for the Yangtze River to be the boundary, right? Do you want to use the Huai River as the boundary? ”

"It can only be bounded by the Huai River!" Wu Haowen said, "Guarding the river must guard the Huai, and if there is no Huai, it is impossible for the river to be held for a long time." ”

He paused, "In addition, I'm afraid that this big flood of the Huai River is just the beginning!" If the Yellow River is not diverted back to the north, it will be a great problem to control the Huai River in the future, and it is necessary to combine the efforts of the north and the south. If it were not for the Huai River as the boundary, the Huang, Huai, and Zhuhe workers would all be the affairs of the Great Zhou. ”

Wu Haogu smiled and was noncommittal.

Huainan is not what he wants, as long as the two sides can govern the Huai River together.

But he wanted to get Taiwan back from the Eastern Song Dynasty - after more than ten years of development, the island of Taiwan is now finally a bit of a foundation, and can be used as a transit point for the Great Zhou Dynasty to go south to the South Seas.

In addition, Wu Haogu also wanted to negotiate with the Eastern Song Dynasty to re-divide the South Seas.

……

The sand boat carrying Zhao Kai and Wu Meiniang docked at the dock in Yangzhou, because the itinerary was very urgent, and the "two saints" did not get off the ship. Under the leadership of Ji Kui, several officials or men dressed outside the staff got on the sand boat and met Wu Meiniang, the heroine of the Eastern Song Dynasty, in the crowded cabin.

After bowing down, Ji Kui, the governor of Suzhou on the Eastern Song Dynasty, first spoke: "Niangniang, have you ever found the gold and silver of Xuzhou?" ”

"Nope." Wu Meiniang said, "I didn't find Zong Ying's army either...... Guys, we're going to have to prepare for the worst! ”

The worst plan is, of course, that gold and silver fall into the hands of the Western Song Dynasty!

Without gold and silver, the bank bills of the Eastern Song Dynasty would face a run, and once the bank bills collapsed, the economy of the Eastern Song Dynasty could collapse.

The old men present immediately showed distressed expressions.

The loss this time is too great!

Wu Meiniang's beautiful eyes flowed, and she took everyone's expressions into her eyes, and then smiled and said: "You don't need to worry, as long as we have one heart in the thirteen states, this difficulty can still be overcome."

What is the situation in Yangzhou, Shanghai and Suzhou now? Can bank bills still hold up? ”

"It's still going to be able to support it for the time being," Ji Kui frowned, "I just don't know how long it can last......

"Hmm," Wu Meiniang nodded, "There's no rush for this...... When Zhou Guo and I have negotiated the matter of demarcation and establishment of the country, it will not be too late to deal with it.

Gold and silver are but stones! Without these stones, our thirteen southeastern states would be poor? We have silk, grain, porcelain, ironware, all kinds of good things, and we also have the government of the thirteen states, and we are afraid that there is no way to support the bank bills? ”
