Chapter 1225: The Holy Capital City is in a traffic jam

Liu Changyou was shocked beyond measure!

I vaguely touched this aspect, but I didn't think about it as thoroughly and saw it so clearly as my son.

Isn't that what it is? Liu Changyou, because he served as the minister of agriculture, has a very good understanding of the countryside, and from the recent court movements, he faintly saw a hint of the beginning, that is, the originally set land policy, it is likely that there will be some changes, and the direction of this change, he can't grasp it, today after listening to his son's words, he suddenly became enlightened. That's right, it must be in this direction.

It is no wonder that some time ago this kid kept talking about how the capitalists of the British country had launched a land enclosure campaign for the development of animal husbandry and wool industry, not only confining a large amount of land for their own use, but also forcibly forcing millions of peasants from the land to become their workers. Isn't this exactly what has provided the development of that industry with abundant raw materials, a large number of cheap wage labor, and a vast domestic market, and what the empire is doing now is also developing in this direction? Liu Changyou was a little worried, as a scholar who was familiar with Confucianism, he was not willing to persecute the people and carry out such primitive plunder, no matter what, after he entered the cabinet, although he could not prevent such a decision by the imperial court, at least he had to adjust the means, not too bloody and barbaric.

After Liu Changyou finished thinking, he showed a smile and looked at his son Liu Siqian.

"Qianzi, since you have such a good study of industry and commerce, it is better for your father to recommend you to join the Ministry of Commerce as a supernumerary deacon, and wait for the opportunity to recruit official officials, you can also get close to the water and seize a headline." Liu Changyou saw that his strange son did have a few moments, so he started to think.

"Don't, don't, Father, you can spare me. I don't want to be an official! Liu Siqian's face changed, and he hurriedly refused: "Even if I struggle all my life, I can't reach the height of your father, right?" But what about your height?

My ambition is to make a lot of money, so much so that I can buy the whole city of Wuchang. In the future, I can expand my business to all cities in the empire, so that every citizen of the Chinese Empire will know my name Liu Siqian and know the industry I founded, and I will be satisfied. If it can be successful, I think that in the future, others will no longer call me Liu Sangongzi or Liu Changyou's son, but call your father Liu Siqian's father! ”

Liu Changyou's face was full of astonishment, he didn't expect that his son would have such great ambitions, seeing what industry and commerce he was obsessed with, he didn't think about studying at all, so he could only let him, fortunately, he had 4 sons.

"Qianzi, you have been tinkering in Wuchang for a long time, and you have rolled up three or four thousand holy yuan from your mother and your grandmother, causing your grandmother to transfer the fields of your hometown, how many famous halls have you made?" Liu Changyou couldn't help asking: "Also, you can do it in Wuchang City, in this holy capital, where the Son of Heaven is, you don't want to do anything wrong, let alone use the sign of being a father to buy and sell outside, and make a living by bullying people." ”

"Father, don't worry, I didn't borrow your signboard from beginning to end when I was in Wuchang! I Liu Siqian don't want to be said to have started with my father's name and blessing after success in the future! Liu Siqian saw that his father, who had always been against him, finally agreed to do what he liked, and said happily: "As for your son, I got it in Wuchang City, and I kept it secret for the time being." I can only reveal that it is not a foreign firm or the like, but a company, there are already dozens of people, and now the assets are afraid that they have multiplied several times, and after I settle down in this Shengjing, I will look for a venue to relocate the company from Wuchang. ”

Liu Changyou didn't believe it, and said noncommittally: "You just brag!" Forget it, if you can't do it, you will sell it earlier, and you can repay some of the foreign debts you owe, and pay off the rest for your father. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Changyou saw a group of people crowded in the center of the square, led by a resolute and young face, very familiar, it was one of the most powerful people in the empire now in front of His Majesty - Fan Ruzeng, director of the Special Services Department, Liu Changyou hurriedly greeted him.

"Director Fan! It's really embarrassing for you to come to pick up Changyou in person. Before Liu Changyou could wait for Fan Ruzeng to step forward, he took the initiative to greet him and said.

"Your Excellency has been tormented! His Majesty specially summoned Ru Zeng to explain in person that he had to come to the station to pick up the adults, but he didn't expect that the traffic in this holy capital was extremely crowded, and the carriage was in a hurry, but he was still a few minutes late. Seeing that there was no one in the train station, Ru Zeng's heart jumped out in fright, this did not complete the task assigned by His Majesty, how to explain? Hurriedly led his general subordinates to explore around, and finally found you in this square! Fan Ruzeng hurriedly explained.

Hearing that His Majesty personally asked Fan Ruzeng to greet him, Liu Changyou hurriedly expressed his gratitude to the emperor.

Although the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, they became familiar with each other after a few words.

Fan Ruzeng took the gift baggage brought by Liu Changyou from Liu Siqian's hand, handed it to the subordinates next to him, and smiled at Liu Changyou: "I originally wanted to call the adult Brother Zimo directly as before, but the elder brother's Lin'er is here, calculate the age, let's call the adult uncle." Uncle Zimo, I won't introduce it, is this the second Siyi or the third Siqian? ”

"Brother Xian laughed! This is exactly the dog Lao San Siqian. Although Liu Changyou is now a member of the cabinet, where does he dare to put an elder in front of His Majesty's closest spy leader, not to mention that the two of them were already very familiar with each other before, and they have been called brothers and brothers for many years, where would they change their words to uncle and nephew, "Is it for brothers." I haven't seen each other much for several years, and I'm worried that my brother doesn't think of my brother and is divided, so I call Director Fan, and it's my brother's fault for my mistakes.

Qian'er, hurry up and say hello to your Uncle Fan. ”

Liu Siqian reluctantly stepped forward to Fan Ruzeng to prepare to salute in the way of a junior to an elder, but before he could bend down, he was grabbed by Fan Ruzeng: "Brother Qian doesn't have to be like this!" You are you, your father is your father, and we will each have our own way. They are all called by friendship. ”

This made Liu Siqian happy, ignoring Liu Changyou next to him and scolding him repeatedly, and directly happily pulled Fan Ruzeng to call his brother.

Liu Changyou glanced at his son fiercely, quickly pulled him and Fan Ruzeng away, and said to Fan Ruzeng: "What happened to the traffic congestion in the Holy Capital that Brother Xian said just now?" ”

"Oh, that's it. Not long ago, the Ministry of Communications launched a public carriage in the Shengjing City, also known as the bus carriage, with a fixed line and stopping stations, every 15 minutes, circulating back and forth in the Shengjing City, transporting the people in need. I didn't expect to get a warm response from the people in the city, because there are too many people in the Shengjing City, there are too many people who need to ride, and the Ministry of Transportation has to add a large number of buses and carriages, but the roads in the Shengjing City are so spacious that it suddenly causes the streets to be congested, especially in some densely populated streets and alleys, and it is extremely inconvenient to travel.

No, today I deliberately set off from the palace two hours early to pick up my brother at this train station, but I was still late because of the congestion along the way. Fan Ruzeng revealed.
