Chapter 066 Zhigu Village

As for whether this will affect his reputation, that's for sure. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And he has asked people to remove all the banners of the Great Song Dynasty and keep all their banners. Now the murderous butcher is not the Great Song Dynasty, but the Great Song Prime Minister Hong! This meaning is completely different, the Great Song Dynasty is the Great Song Dynasty, and the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty is the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty, although in the eyes of those who understand it are all the same thing, but in the eyes of the common people, the difference is still very big. The Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty represents the individual, and the Imperial Court of the Great Song Dynasty represents the whole, it doesn't matter if the personal reputation stinks, it is worth believing if the collective reputation does not stink.

This is also the habitual thinking of the Chinese people in the past dynasties, Qin Hui is a bad guy, but the Great Song Dynasty is good; Wei Zhongxian is a traitor, and the Ming court is not guilty; He Shen is a corrupt official, and the Qing court is not responsible...... As long as these corrupt officials, corrupt officials, ministers, and traitors are finally dealt with by the imperial court, no matter how much they have been wronged and lost, the people will still cheer and cheer for the imperial court, as if these people are not court officials, as if these people have done bad things for so many years, and the imperial court does not know anything.

Why people are so ignorant, Hong Tao can't figure it out, but since other dynasties can use this to fool people, why don't you do it yourself. Hong Tao has already thought about it, he will be a big traitor, a powerful minister, and a big villain, and all the lack of virtue in the Great Song Dynasty will be contracted by himself in the future. When will it make the heavens angry and resentful, when will Jin He come with the imperial army again, and then make another public beheading operation, kill his relatives in righteousness, and then take over the Great Song Dynasty logically.

At that time, the people of the Great Song Dynasty will praise their son as a Ming Jun, since their son is a Ming Jun, they will not criticize themselves too much, let alone leave too much infamy in the history books. Things have been done, I don't have to look forward to the future, the transformation of the Great Song Dynasty has been almost carried out, and there will not be too many stains, Hong Tao feels that it is very cost-effective to do this, and it is profitable.

I don't know if it was the people who hung on the side of the boat who kept wailing all day played a role, or if Hong Tao was not very lucky, since he planned to be a bad guy, there has been no chance to be a bad guy along the way. The ancients said that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Not only were there no people on either side of the canal, but even the boats in the canal stopped, and they never met a single one again.

"Alas...... This is a weak country without defense! Look at the two of you, there are no rules for this, just build a dock, and you have to plant the flag of the Jinhe Empire, isn't this a slap in the face. The north end of the Yongji Canal is connected to the Haihe River, and from then on dozens of kilometers to the north, it is the deer of later generations, and it is not far from Beijing. At the confluence of the Yongji Canal and the Haihe River, Hong Tao saw a new small city and a new wharf. You don't even need to ask where this is, just by looking at the flags fluttering on the pier, Hong Tao knows who built this small city.

"Uncle, you're being unreasonable. You have to build a steel mill here, you have to open a mine. You should know better than I do that you need a lot of heavy machinery and equipment. Royal Navy transports can only go north, and if you don't have a port here, you won't be able to unload all your equipment at the beach. The Royal Navy has to fly its flag wherever it goes, and that's your rule. I think they already respect the Great Song Dynasty very much, isn't there still the flag of the Great Song Dynasty, why don't you pretend not to see it? In the face of Hong Tao's involuntary provocative behavior, Bo Jiao resolutely fought back. Don't be too polite to this old emperor, he will take it seriously when you are pretending to be polite, and take advantage of the opportunity.

"According to you, this port was built specifically for the Great Song Dynasty?" Hong Tao seemed to have just understood.

"It can also be said that as long as the machinery of the steel mills and mines is transported, you can take over the defense of this place if someone else is there, and the Imperial army will not interfere." Bo Jiao gave a clear guarantee.

"Then you said no, it didn't end up yet, did it? Since it is the city of the Great Song Dynasty, then I'm welcome, I'll give it a name, let's call it Tianjin. You hurry up and find someone to engrave a big sign for me to hang on the port first, and then notify the Imperial Ministry of Defense, don't write blindly on the map in the future, this place is called Tianjin! Hong Tao figured out the purpose of the construction here, and began to be addicted to naming again. As for whether this is the location of Tianjin in the future, who can manage it so much, probably about it.

"Cheng, you can call it whatever you say, but it's a place, it's uncomfortable for me to die, and I won't go to the inland in the future, it's too big." Bo Jiao is not interested in playing with Hong Tao for names, and he does not have this hobby. This time, he walked for three and a half months from Lin'an to Zhuo County, and it also made him feel for the first time what the mainland is. He has been to Luzon, Java, the Indian Peninsula, and the Arabian Peninsula, but compared with the inland of the Great Song Dynasty, it is still a bit small and there are few people.

Zhigu Village, this is the name of the new city, this river has long been on the map, this military fortress Hong Tao also came back then, and also let go of a fire here. However, there is no trace of Zhigu Village now, and the Royal Navy directly demolished this military fortress that had been abandoned by the Mongols, and built a larger deep-water dock on its basis, which was specially used to dock transport ships coming from the sea. The other ancillary facilities are barracks and warehouses, which seem to cover a large area, but in fact, the population is not large, and even the army and navy do not exceed 3,000 people, and the rest is a team of retrenched soldiers transferred from Fujian Road.

Like doing business, the enthusiasm of coastal cities to go north to open up the wasteland is also very high, especially after hearing that they are going to follow Emperor Lao Hong to open up the wasteland, they immediately sent the local soldiers who had been disarmed to the ship, regardless of whether they were happy or not, they sailed to Dengzhou in one breath, and then changed to the cargo ship of the Royal Navy to go north, and sent directly to Zhigu Village as a farming corps.

It's a pity that there is only wasteland here, but it is impossible to divide the land and houses for them, because Emperor Hong has not yet arrived, and there is no Great Song Dynasty official here, and the first official also came with the transport ship, and he has no office, where can he care about giving others a house and land.

But so many people can't stay all day to eat idle meals, this newly appointed magistrate fully understood the spirit of making his own decisions outside the country, and with a stroke of the pen, these more than 5,000 soldiers became the construction team of Zhigu Village, helping the Royal Navy to build a new city together, which is what Hong Tao saw today.

"You two are qualified magistrates, and in local affairs, you don't have to wait for the instructions of the imperial court for everything, as long as it does not go against the interests of the empire and does not violate the law, it is your right to do what you want. This time it's a good job, do it well, I'm optimistic about you. Hong Tao was very satisfied with these two young local officials from the Mexika and Jinhe empires respectively, that's right, everything is waiting for the imperial court to make an idea, and he, Luo Youde, and Wen Nan are tired and can't govern half of the Great Song Dynasty.

Hong Tao did not stay in Tianjin for long, and after a slight adjustment, he continued to go north with the team. Now his mood is a little better, because he has heard good news in the past few days, Beijing City is not a wasteland, it has been there for a long time.

This news was told to Hong Tao by the locals, and the people here are not the same as the east and west roads of Hebei Road and the east and west roads of Shandong. There are basically no northern tycoon forces here, because it has been integrated with the northern nomads for hundreds of years, and the influence of the Han regime here is not great. The northern nomads also gave up their original living habits here, and the living conditions here are similar to those of both Han Chinese and nomadic people.

Compared with the Han people in the south and the Han people in the north, the people here are easier to contact and communicate. They don't have too much national concept in their minds, nor do they have too deep cultural inheritance, and judging who is good and who is bad depends on what you do, and it doesn't matter what you say. They don't understand too much reasoning, because there are too few literate people, and some people can't even speak Chinese.

In fact, this kind of folk customs is more in line with Hong Tao's habits, and he is really not as good as those professional politicians in the problem of fooling the people, but he can throw professional politicians eight streets away in doing practical things. Not only could he do this, but so did the young officials who had just arrived here to prepare for the establishment of a new regime, and even the Royal Navy of the Golden River Empire stationed here was in the same vein as him.

Although the village was abandoned by the Mongols, the local people living in the vicinity did not give up. This area already has a certain amount of infrastructure, and the waterway transportation is connected to the sea road, whether it is agriculture or fishing, it is more developed than other places in the vicinity, and it is more conducive to living. After the Royal Navy arrived here and took over the Zhigu Village, it did not rely on force to expropriate and extort violently, but reached a lifelong relationship with the local people in a more gentle way. If you need a man, you will pay for it and hire it, and if you need grain and grass, you will exchange it with the locals at the same price.

The locals were also willing to do business with these troops from the sea, because these people could bring them a lot of daily necessities, such as salt, wine, tea, cloth, iron tools, etc. These goods are still in short supply here, and usually have to be trafficked in from the south by some brave maritime merchants, and the quantity is small and the price is high. The most popular thing for the locals is medical care, and the Royal Navy is as afraid of death as Hong Tao, and every time they go to a new environment for a long time, the first permanent building in the camp must be a hospital.

In addition to being familiar with traditional Chinese herbal medicine, these military doctors are more adept at treating various traumatic injuries and using Arab and European medical methods. They are also willing to go around the surrounding villages when they are not busy with their work, and take the initiative to ask the local people if they are sick, not only to help the local people to treat their diseases, but also to see this kind of communication as a means to get acquainted with the local people.
