Chapter 128 Situ Yan

Through in-depth investigation, Li Hongfei has realized that there are great deficiencies in the current prosperity of Shanghai County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The originally expected combination of Chinese and Western cultures turned out to be a situation where Oriental culture dominates, which is not a good sign...........

Blindly admiring the foreign is not good, blindly sticking to the rules is also not good, now it is only Shanghai County, or just emerging signs, if it goes on like this, even if the Southern Ming Dynasty defeats the Manchu Qing in the future, but the arrogant mentality may not be much worse than the Manchu Qing, and when the time comes, there will be a closed country, and China will still die.

Thinking of this, Li Hongfei rushed to work overnight and sorted out a development plan for Shanghai County.

In addition to setting the future development direction of Shanghai County, the main content of the plan is to introduce and support some Western cultural industries in a planned manner.

Li Hongfei's meaning is very simple, that is, to open a window in Shanghai, which is specially used to display the customs and characteristics of overseas countries, so that Shanghai can become a window for Chinese people to understand the world.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty in this era was still relatively enlightened, and the imperial court had been committed to introducing Western weapons before, and now the introduction of Western culture only requires the gourd to draw a scoop.

With the issuance of Li Hongfei's plan, a very interesting situation was quickly formed.

Those genuine Westerners, in order to cater to the Ming market, have come up with a series of things that have changed their taste.

However, the government-run enterprises in Shanghai County began to find ways to open consumption places with Western characteristics, and thus attracted a large number of foreigners who came to pan for gold, and even some Han people who were interested in novelties in the outside world were also attracted by these government-run enterprises.

The common people are blindly obedient, they don't care what cultural characteristics they have, as long as the government makes something, it must be a good thing, after all, Li Hongfei's influence in Suzhou is irreplaceable.

As a result, these ordinary people who have experienced different tastes have gradually recognized the uniqueness of Westerners, and even some adventurous Han people actually plan to go to sea with the fleet and go to the local area of the West to understand the local customs and customs.

The integration of Eastern and Western cultures slowly unfolded, of course, it will take a long time to run-in, but at least Li Hongfei has worked hard to break the shackles in everyone's hearts, so that some people can go out and see the world more, so as to understand their own shortcomings...........

On the sixth day of Li Hongfei's arrival in Shanghai County, that is, the penultimate day when he set a seven-day period for Situ Jiannan, the leader of the Cao Gang, the Cao Gang finally sent someone to the inn.

The person at the head is a middle-aged (harmonious) beautiful woman, her eyes and smile are so breathtaking, even Li Hongfei can't help but want to take a few more looks.

It's been almost two years since he came to the Ming Dynasty, and Li Hongfei still can't accurately guess the specific age of a person, so he can only roughly classify it by virtue of his dress.

The dress of the Ming Dynasty, including the wearing of hair accessories, has obvious age distinctions, what age of people, is what kind of dress, you can distinguish at a glance, unlike later generations, fifty or sixty-year-old women, dressed like a little girl, is simply a test of people's eyesight.

The woman in front of her was fair-skinned and tender, if it weren't for the middle-aged dress, Li Hongfei would definitely think that the other party was just a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young woman.

"Situ Yan, a folk woman, has seen an adult." Situ Yan reported his name.

"Didn't you say let Situ Jiannan talk?" Li Hongfei said unhappily.

He is also a big official, and he doesn't even give face to the gang leader, can Li Hongfei give the other party a good face?

"Situ Jiannan is my brother, I went to Shuzhou some time ago, and I really can't come back in a short time, if Lord Li has any instructions, you can explain to the people's women, this Cao gang is up and down, and the people's women can still speak." Situ Yan said.

"You know me?" Li Hongfei said curiously.

Before Situ Yan opened his mouth to call an adult, Li Hongfei didn't care, but now he directly calls his surname, how can Li Hongfei not understand.

"The chief soldier came to Shanghai in person, and those of us who are begging for a living on the river can still find out a little news." Situ Yan pointed out.

"Kind of interesting! The world only knows that Situ Jiannan of the Cao Gang is mysterious, but you Situ Yan is not bad at all, and there is not even this person in Jinyiwei's file. Li Hongfei said with a smile.

This Situ Yan is not only mysterious, the information in his hands is also very terrifying, for a moment, Li Hongfei even moved to kill, an important member of the court like him, his whereabouts are so easily grasped by the other party, and no one feels uncomfortable.

"My lord laughed." Situ Yan did not deny it.

A person who didn't even have a record of Dongchang and Jinyiwei appeared in front of him out of thin air, Situ Yan's goal had been achieved, and the next thing was to talk about the conditions.

"The Cao Gang is so well-informed, you must know what I am looking for Situ Jiannan for, right? And you can find it, apparently you have the answer. Li Hongfei went straight to the point.

"My brother once said before leaving, the Ming Dynasty is the root of the Han people in the world, and the Cao Gang brothers should not take refuge in the Tartars at any time, but the Cao Gang needs to feed hundreds of thousands of mouths (including family members), and now the business scope of the Cao Gang is half in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if it is attached to the Ming Dynasty, then half of the brothers will lose their jobs, and I hope that the adults can understand the difficulties of our ordinary people." Situ Yan is neither humble nor arrogant.

She is responding to Li Hongfei, Nanming has lost most of the country, a group of troops that can't even be protected by the common people, why should the Cao Gang give up the foundation that they have accumulated with great difficulty, and completely stand on the opposite side of the Manchu Dynasty?

"Then there's nothing to talk about?" Li Hongfei began to play scoundrels.

Li Hongfei almost said: As long as the Cao Gang does not agree, then none of these troublemakers will want to leave from the yamen.

"Let's follow the rules of Shanghai County, my subordinates were arrested for participating in the fight, that is their bad luck, the fine should not be less, and I hope that the chief soldier will raise his noble hand and not embarrass us as rural villagers. The woman has thanked the adults in advance, as for what the adults will send in the future, you can send someone to find me at the Huangjiawan Wharf, if the Cao Gang brothers can help, they will definitely not refuse. Situ Yan threw out an olive branch.

Her words are very straightforward, if she wants the Cao Gang to take refuge in Nanming openly, it is impossible, at most she will help in secret.

Fortunately, Li Hongfei is looking for the Cao Gang, and what he needs is the intelligence support of the other party secretly.

"One last question............ But that's my personal question. Li Hongfei squeezed his eyes at Situ Yan.

"Stand down." Situ Yan ordered his men to withdraw.
