"Long live my emperor, long live, long live......"

On the wharf of the Hangzhou Canal, a black oppressive area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang officials, wealthy businessmen, and ordinary people knelt on the ground, except for a small number of policemen and soldiers who were directly responsible for the vigilance task, all the soldiers also knelt down.

A few blonde Europeans were caught in the crowd, hesitated a little, and knelt down in obedience.

"Flat ......" Zhang Dayong shook the dust in his arms and shouted at the top of his voice.

Chen Ming's face was serious, and he didn't show any smile.

From getting off the dragon boat to going ashore, from the wharf to the palace by the West Lake, to the officials and industrial and commercial representatives who were soon summoned, and the subsequent Jiangsu and Zhejiang industrial and commercial conferences, as well as the banquet held in the palace, Chen Ming showed such a face from beginning to end.

The palace by the West Lake, this is the place that the whole Jiangsu and Zhejiang pay the most attention to, and the people of Hangzhou are eager to stick their eyes on the outer wall of the palace. That's when any wind and grass can spread throughout the city in an instant.

"Isn't the Great Emperor happy? All walks of life in Hangzhou greeted him so respectfully, and the welcome ceremony was so grand? "Why do you keep a straight face?

Coubier screamed loudly, expressing his displeasure.

The people of Hangzhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, welcomed the arrival of the Chinese emperor with their greatest respect and grand scene, but the Chinese emperor has always kept a straight face, is this expressing dissatisfaction with Hangzhou and Jiangsu and Zhejiang people?

"It's really too much." As a believer in Montesquieu, Cubière was dissatisfied with this 'domineering' that belonged to power.

The higher education institutions in Shanghai have been on vacation, and this summer, the four families of Coubier, Georg, Ekdal and Ekdal's younger brother Lundberg have chosen to go out and play instead of staying in Shanghai all the time. There's so much to do in the whole of China.

What's more, the income of the four families is very good, even the 'watchmaker' Rundberg, who has the lowest social status, can be regarded as a high-skilled person, and can earn more than 200 yuan a month. Nowadays, there are more and more clocks in China, but the watchmaker industry that can repair clocks has not prospered.

The other three earn even more. Taking Dakdal as an example, his initial salary reached 150 yuan, which is pure salary income, not counting all kinds of subsidies and material benefits. And now Dakdal's pure salary income has exceeded 300 yuan. Because he not only passed the Chinese special exam, but also his salary will continue to increase with his teaching years, which is really an angelic and beautiful rule. For Dakdal, now his family doesn't have to worry about survival.

The children of the latter have all entered the school.

"Of course, the Great Emperor of China should not be happy. Don't just look at the surface in front of you, Kubière, think about why His Majesty the Emperor of China came to Hangzhou? Georg did not agree with Kubière, the reason why the Chinese emperor came to Hangzhou has long been alluded to in the newspapers, and many people know that the purpose of the Chinese emperor's visit was to comfort the merchants of Ningbo and the whole of China.

At the conference on industrial and commercial development that was just held, His Majesty the Emperor personally said that it is necessary to intensify the formulation and implementation of industrial and commercial laws and to protect the development of the legitimate economic order. Although it seems that this is related to what happened in Ningbo, those who understand it know that the emperor is exerting protection on the industrial and commercial body.

"When anyone in power is forced to do so, there will be no smile on their face." In Georg's eyes, Chen Ming came to Hangzhou to be persecuted. But the pressure was not significant, and the emperor of China did not have to care about it at all.

Georg agrees with some of the newspaper statements. His views were very different from those of Coubier, almost opposite.

"I wonder why His Majesty the Emperor of China, who has so much power, bows his head to a businessman. China is not Europe, where the emperor is in charge. He didn't have to. "The emperor of China only needs to give an order, and everything becomes a rule, and he does not have to come to Hangzhou in person. Like Georg, Lundberg was puzzled.

As a watchmaker, Lundberg was well aware of the power and majesty of power when he was a fill-ed-belly man in Stockholm; When he came to China by boat, and his brother Ekdal helped settle the family, Dakdal, who already knew China very well at that time, explained to his younger brother the rules of China. In the rest of his life, although Lundberry did not suffer from the oppression of the powerful, it also gave him a deeper understanding of Dakdal's words. So he could feel the supremacy of the Chinese imperial power. Then he was puzzled, why did His Majesty the Emperor, who held the supreme power, 'bow his head' to a group of businessmen?

Keep your head down, yes, bow your head. In the eyes of many people, Chen Ming went south to Hangzhou to appease a group of businessmen, that is, he was bowing to Ningbo businessmen and the world's industry and commerce.

Does His Majesty the Emperor of China want to further elevate the status of industry and commerce at the risk of his own dignity being damaged and the foundation of imperial power eroded?

All Europeans in China can feel the contempt for 'commerce' in traditional Chinese culture.

They don't understand it, but they remember it.

And now the supreme emperor has 'bowed' to commerce, how amazing is this?

……

"Every emperor has his own way of governing the country in his heart."

"Your Majesty was born in cloth, the young man fought in the world, raised troops for ten years, Dinghai, the mountains and rivers recovered, the Han family revived, five years and the world was governed, and the world was led in the rich domain of Renshou, and the talents of the world were also the affairs of the world. The Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty cannot compare with martial arts, and the Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors are also difficult to compare with Wenzhi. Such a god-martial and wise lord has the longitude and latitude of the world hidden in his chest. Wang Xichen leaned back against the head of the bed and sighed at the lady beside him.

He is the landlord of Hangzhou, and he has been in the palace for the past few days, facing an emperor with a serious face and no smile, Wang Xichen Alexander.

"You mean that the emperor has his own thoughts in his heart...... so he is still a businessman?" The Wang family is not a woman who doesn't understand bullshit, her husband has achieved the position of the governor of the provincial capital, how can she not understand anything about political affairs?

Wang Xichen did not immediately answer his wife's words, but looked at the top of the tent with his eyes, and said with emotion: "People say that Li Shimin is good at accepting advice, has a wide range of words, and is magnanimous, and can be called a person for a thousand years." His Majesty's stomach is not inferior to it today. ”

"Your Majesty has come to Hangzhou for several days, so it is self-evident."

"But no matter how angry Your Majesty is, he can endure it, instead of dancing swords and guns against Ningbo, against the industry and commerce of the whole world, how big is the amount of energy?"

In Wang Xichen's eyes, this is the sacrifice that Chen Ming paid for the 'way of governing the country' in his heart.

In his eyes, Chen Ming's 'way of governing the country' must have a place for industry and commerce, so the emperor repeatedly raised the status of the industrial and commercial class, and in this matter, he would rather lose face and lose his majesty, rather than suppress the 'offense' of the industrial and commercial class, but continued to make a gesture for the industrial and commercial class.

Such a heart and persistence can really be said to be admirable. You don't care if Wang Xichen praises or disagrees with Chen Ming's 'way of governing the country'.

This view will inevitably be not limited to Wang Xichen. So that sentence in the 21st century is really a lot, and there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Your three views, your vision, and your social status are different, and you will have different results and conclusions when looking at the same issue.

Chen Ming himself never thought that he was just an act of soothing the business circles of Ningbo, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and would be interpreted by the courtiers below as what he is now.

In the eyes of many people, he is 'bowing' to industry and commerce, and God is pitiful, Chen Ming himself really doesn't have that idea. He even took them for fat sheep and took up the knife himself......

This can only be said that even though Chen Ming has traveled through more than ten years, compared with the thoughts of people in this era, there is still a lot of difference. In Chen Ming's eyes, this is just a release of goodwill, involving an active and passive relationship, far from being a humiliation of dignity.

At the beginning, his plan was to smile and walk through the whole 'journey'. If it weren't for the successive reports of the ministers, Chen Ming realized the difference inside, and Wang Xichen would have felt another way now.

Chen Ming stayed in Xin'anjiang for a month and a half before returning home, and the time had already reached July.

Siam Zheng Xin said that the rainy season in Myanmar is coming to an end, and the war is about to start again. He needed all the support of arms, material and money.

The three families of Annam have also sent the concert that is going well, and in the case of Nam Nguyen, they have finalized the agreement of a military factory, a steel factory, a spinning mill and a weaving mill in the past few months. He also used loans to buy a large number of arms and hired a group of Chinese instructors, which made him angry for a while.

But Annan is a pile of rotten meat in Chen Ming's eyes, and they will only stink more and more over time.

North Korea is still buzzing, and the construction of settlements in Nanmingzhou, Malay, and Luzon is going smoothly, and it is still winter in Nanmingzhou. In North America, however, the Spaniards were indeed amassing their land forces, but the entire expeditionary force was confident and fearless.

Today, Chinese immigrants in North America have established dozens of large and small settlements along the long coastline of the West Coast of North America, like a thin string of pearls, dotted with the barren wilderness of the West Coast of North America.

There are also the economic development of all parts of the country, the situation of taxation and taxation, the education work of the Ministry of Culture and Education, the progress of the development of poor and difficult mountainous areas, the construction of national highways and railways in various places, and the breeding of military horses and long-haired sheep on the prairie......

Wait, wait. There are good and bad, and the joy outweighs the sorrow.

Finally, there is this year's foreign trade.

The French did not have a single merchant ship, and the number of merchant ships in Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Portugal was greatly reduced, and Sweden, for example, has only two ships so far this year, which has fallen to the level when the Manchus were still in the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, although the merchant ships of the British have not decreased, and even increased compared with last year, the enthusiasm of the entire East-West trade has declined.

Of course, this is not to say that China's foreign trade quota has been reduced in the first half of this year.

Although trade between the East and the West has declined, China's trade with its neighbors has increased rapidly.

All the countries on the Indochina Peninsula, in addition to Siam and Annam, Phnom Penh, Vientiane, Luang Prabang and several small countries can also contribute, and at the same time, the sales of various Chinese goods and products in Luzon and Malaysia have also increased rapidly, just like the rapid growth of British and French foreign goods in China after the Erya. In the weak 'autonomy', that is also a solid shell. Now the Malay and Luzon have lost this shell, and they are quickly attacked by Chinese goods.

Not to mention Japan and North Korea. One did not dare to resist anymore, and the other was directly devoured.

The fate of North Korea can at least make the Japanese honest for a while, China can swallow North Korea, and in Japan's imagination, that can swallow Japan. Chinese there were settlements and military strongholds in Ezo in the land itself, and warships were stationed in the Ryukyus to the south......

When a country's 'autonomy' fades, the door to that country's economic market is completely opened. And the eastern countries that have opened their doors will be so sad in the face of the current China. I don't have to think about it, I fell into the bed of a pervert with a naked peerless beauty.

What's more, China now has one more India as a trading partner, Mysore and the British fought, but India is not only one Mysore Kingdom, but also countless indigenous princes, large and small, all of whom are China's trade partners, especially near the sea.

Finally, there is the Celestial World, except for Persia, China does not greet much, other Celestial countries, alliances, and tribes, which have already traded with China, although some are very few. For example, North Africa, in the region west of Egypt.

But these combined trade volumes far outweigh the share of the West's trade decline.

Therefore, Chen Ming's biggest fear did not happen, although the war that broke out in the West affected China's economy and trade, but he has been engaged in the economic and trade development of other regions, and it has successfully won Malay and Luzon, annexed Korea, and has been connected with the heavenly world and India, and the combined trade volume completely makes up for the lack of trade between the East and the West.

However, the overseas economic and trade quota, which has an extremely important impact on China's economic circulation and development, will not fall, and in Chen Ming's thinking, China's economic development will be able to maintain its basic plate.

This should have the influence left by the old concepts in his previous life, and all of them have formed such a strange concept.

It seems that if overseas trade falls, domestic economic development will be in chaos. And how is this possible!

This era is completely different from Chen Ming's economic development model in the 21st century, for any country, when the industrial revolution is not completed, domestic self-demand and consumption is their biggest market.

In the past 100 years, China's overseas trade volume seems to be quite high, with millions of taels of silver flowing out every year, but these economic quotas are really compared with China's own economic aggregate, which is a piece of cake.

This is also the influence of China's export economy in the development of foreign trade in the previous life. In this time and space, he was naturally included in his own way of governing the country.

When the emperor was about to leave Hangzhou, the sullen Wang Zhenyi suddenly had a smile on her face, Wang Xichen was promoted, and she was admitted to the Nanjing Cabinet Secretariat, which was not the most important thing for her. The most important thing is that her parents are going to Nanjing.

Wang Zhenyi does not have to be separated from her parents, she goes to school in Nanjing alone, and she can only see her parents once a semester.

It's just that Wang Xichen left Hangzhou earlier than his family, and he didn't even have time to officially say goodbye to his relatives and friends in Hangzhou.

Wang Xichen didn't know that he suddenly had good luck, which was the blessing of his daughter.

Chen Ming also inadvertently got together with Wang Xichen's family file, and saw that his daughter's name was Wang Zhenyi, and then he suddenly realized, could the Hangzhou prefect in front of him still be the father of Wang Zhenyi, a famous female arithmetic and astronomer in history?

Of course, this does not rule out the reason for the duplicate name. But this is also worth letting Chen Ming take action. And according to Wang Xichen's father, who has been an official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty for decades, has a small official position, but his knowledge is really good, and he also likes to collect books. Wang Xichen himself is also highly skilled......

This is also very consistent with the impression in Chen Ming's memory.
