Chapter 18: The Way Forward
Feng Ang was already mad, a boatload of mahogany and coral, what was the use of him? Even if Feng Ang had leisure and leisure, it was impossible to fill his house with this boatload of coral, so it was not leisure, but deliberately adding to the blockage.
However, this is not to blame others, at the beginning, when Zhao Chen exchanged high-yield grain for the dock, Feng Ang actually refused, and if he didn't take them to the sea, he would never agree to give up the posture of the dock, but now, who is complaining?
Li Chengqian slept all night, and in the morning, the high fever completely went down, but the wind chill was not completely improved, he kept sneezing, he kept running his nose, the dignified prince, the future prince of the empire, wiped his nose there from time to time, and Zhao Chen was quite speechless when he saw this picture.
Cheng Chumo has become a miser through and through, lying on the ship, guarding a shipload of goods, and he can't drag it down, Zhao Chen has no choice but to let Cheng Chumo stay on the ship, but he and Li Chengqian and his party went to Nanfuzhou.
This time he went north, even Zhao Chen didn't know how long it would take to come back, and some things had to be arranged, otherwise, Nanfuzhou, which he had worked so hard to build, would have become a complete decoration.
Namfuju will not be defeated, and it will not only serve as a place of refuge for the hidden gate in the future, but will also serve as the economic center of the entire south in the future.
The wharf in Gaozhou will be used as an ocean wharf in the future, and Nanfuzhou will become a transit station for the ocean at that time, which is equivalent to the second Guangzhou port.
It's a pity that it's too late, if he is given another year, he will build a lot of factories in Nanfuzhou, and then Nanfu will run through the north and south, and it will be difficult to think of underdevelopment.
Now. It's too late, these can only be built slowly!
Li Chengqian was in a good mood. Now that Zhao Chen has promised to return to Chang'an, he has received the holy decree of his father. That's a certainty!
Therefore, on the way from Gaozhou Wharf to Nanfuzhou, Li Chengqian was in a good mood, and from time to time he discussed with Zhao Chen the customs and customs of Lingnan, and when he heard that he was happy, he couldn't stop laughing.
It's just that if you wipe your nose from time to time. The image can definitely be given a full score. The children of the royal family, who have received a good education since childhood, are not ordinary children regardless of their conversation temperament, comparable.
After Jiang Chao finished talking to Zhao Chen last night, he rushed back to Nanfu overnight, so Old Man Ji and the others knew that Zhao Chen had come back last night.
When Zhao Chen and his party came back from Gaozhou. I saw Old Man Ji sitting in a wheelchair from a distance, looking at Zhao Chen and his party with a smile.
"Old man, I'm back!" Zhao Chen saw the old man sitting there with a smile, but he didn't see Ji Ning'er and Jiang Chao beside him. Suddenly he smiled bitterly in his heart, turned over and dismounted, and came to the front of Old Man Ji. Smile and speak.
"Just come back!" Old man Ji couldn't see any other expression on his face. still looked honest and honest, smiling at Zhao Chen and speaking.
But. Zhao Chen knew that in the old man's heart, he held back his words, waiting for him to solve his doubts, otherwise how could the old man run outside again, waiting for him with his eyes blank.
"Old-timers!" Li Chengqian is a child of royal education in the end, and he is courteous and thoughtful, and when he arrives in front of the old man, he doesn't need the old man to speak, so he takes the first step to greet politely.
"Last time I said goodbye in a hurry, the prince was in a hurry to go to Gaozhou, but he didn't have time to let the old man meet!" Old man Ji looked at Li Chengqian, who was dressed in bright yellow robes and looked black, and spoke with a slight apology in his tone.
"What did the old-timers say!" When Li Chengqian heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand at Old Man Ji and said: "Speaking of this matter, it is also lonely, come in a hurry, you should visit the old-timers first!" ”
And when several people were greeting each other, in a tent in the camp, Ji Ning'er hugged the wheat tightly, no matter how the wheat struggled, Ji Ning'er held it firmly, and kept scolding Zhao Chen in her mouth.
Ji Ning'er hates Zhao Chen so much in her heart now, since Jiang Chao came back last night and told them that after Zhao Chen promised to go back to Chang'an, Ji Ning'er was angry, and she couldn't wait to settle accounts with Zhao Chen immediately.
However, now, Zhao Chen is obviously not far away, looking over from here, he can see Zhao Chen's appearance clearly, but Ji Ning'er has no courage to walk out of this tent.
She didn't go out herself, but she also held the wheat and didn't let her out, anyway, she just wanted that guy to be snubbed!
Old man Ji and Li Chengqian finally finished greeting each other, Zhao Chen. Let Ma Zhou, who was beside him, arrange for Li Chengqian and others to stay, and he pushed Old Man Ji to the shore of the lake.
"When Chao'er came back last night, what he said was not true, and the old man still hasn't figured it out, your plan!" Sure enough, as soon as he came to the lake, the old man frowned and looked at Zhao Chen, and asked in a condensed voice.
When Zhao Chen heard this, he had to tell the old man all the plans in his heart, and the north and south would be connected, and South Fuzhou would become an economic center in the south at that time.
And South Fuzhou is south of the South China Sea, and across Meiling, is the Central Plains, now Meiling has not been opened, once opened, Lingnan is bound to have close exchanges with the Central Plains.
Originally, all this was impossible, but with the space-time supermarket and the workshops that have been built one after another in Nanfuzhou, all this is impossible, and it will become possible at that time!
At the beginning, when he built the city of Nanfuzhou, he had already said that this city would prosper sooner or later, and at that time he was referring to this plan of economic connection between the north and the south.
It's a pity that this time to go north, the time is too hasty, Nanfu has just been established now, and it will not be a while and a half until the real north and south are integrated
Old man Ji couldn't help but take a light breath when he listened to Zhao Chen's north-south plan, Zhao Chen had never said this kind of thing to him.
However, thinking about the city that Zhao Chen planned when he built the city of Nanfuzhou, the city that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, at this time, listening to Zhao Chen's plan, everything is unreasonable, and there is a good explanation.
"What about the Hidden Gate?" After listening to Zhao Chen's plan, Old Man Ji suddenly frowned again, looked at Zhao Chen and asked.
Yinmen came to Lingnan this time, and it was not easy to be here just now, and he fell on his heels, and he didn't sit down yet! The old man was worried that Zhao Chen would let Yinmen follow him when he went north this time.
"Old man, do you believe that the Tang Empire will live forever in the world and prosper for ten thousand years?" Zhao Chen heard this, but did not answer Old Man Ji's words, but paused slightly, looked at Old Man Ji and asked rhetorically.
The answer is no! In fact, this question does not need to be answered by the old man, because it is obvious. The Central Plains Dynasty has experienced many ruins, and the hidden gate is actually the best witness.
At the height of the day, all the dynasties, in the early days of establishment, everyone was working hard, and when the early days passed, the dynasty began to be filled with some shadows of decadence, which would continue with the continuation of the dynasty, until a few generations later, the dynasty would be completely destroyed by this shadow of decadence.
Then, a new dynasty is established, and then a new cycle is repeated!
No dynasty can escape this cycle unless there is new blood to replace those things that have been destroyed, but it is a fool's dream to live forever!
"However, I want the Hidden Gate to be passed on forever!" Zhao Chen looked at the silent old man, and suddenly said: "This time I will go north, I will only take some of the people from the Hidden Gate, and all the rest will stay in Nanfuzhou, with tens of thousands of people as the backing, and I will leave a lot of weapons, I believe that there is no one in this world who can easily shake the status of the Hidden Gate!" ”
Let the hidden door be passed on forever and not be bound by the imperial power!
When Old Man Ji heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, this was the way the Hidden Gate had always lived, but this time, because of Zhao Chen's existence, the future of the Hidden Gate suddenly became brighter.
The hidden door is still the hidden door, perhaps, one day in the future, it may become a behemoth that clamps the empire!
Of course, the premise is that the hidden door must not change, the original insistence!
This time, the old man was completely relieved, and the problem he was most worried about was solved, not only solved, but also let him see the bright future of the hidden door!
"Then this time to the north, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will let you go to Shandong for disaster relief alone!" The old man let go of his heart, and then looked at Zhao Chen again and said, "You just go like this, don't you think it's a little cheaper for those people?" ”
This is also the reason why the old man has always been angry in his heart, as far as Shandong, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are helpless, but they threw all this burden to Zhao Chen alone, how thick-skinned are these people?
"Don't worry!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he looked at the anger in the old man's eyes, and said nonchalantly: "Everyone is responsible for disaster relief, since they have no food, then pay for it!" ”
"Again!" Zhao Chen didn't wait for the old man to speak, so he continued: "Last time, Confucianism stood up to snatch the Xue Palace, this time we not only want to take back the Xue Palace, but also take the opportunity to promote Gewu, see what those people can do?" ”
"Boy, remember!" As soon as Zhao Chen's words fell, the old man Ji who listened to it said with some annoyance: "Confucianism is not wrong, it is only those who use Confucianism who are wrong!" ”
After a pause, seeing Zhao Chen looking at him with a stunned expression, Old Man Ji suddenly sighed and said: "Where learning is linked to interests, then it is not learning!" Therefore, the old decay will say that Confucianism is not wrong, but only those who use Confucianism are wrong! ”
"Okay!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he immediately bowed to Old Man Ji with some embarrassment, and said respectfully: "The kid has been taught!" ”
"Hmmm! The child can be taught! When Old Man Ji saw Zhao Chen bowing down and being taught, he immediately said with a smile.
Then, the conversation changed, but he looked at Zhao Chen again and said: "However, this time to the north, if you take the opportunity to promote Gewu, it can be regarded as the right time and place!" When the time comes, you can bring more people, since you want to do it, then you have to do it best! ”
An old man and a young man, sitting by the lake, while enjoying the breeze, while talking about things going north, before you know it, it is an afternoon hour, quietly passed! (To be continued......)
