680, Zhongshan wind and rain pale yellow (4)
The Chinese Princess finally docked.
Yu Guozhen raised his eyes and saw that this steamship with the most advanced technology in Xinxiang was not only large in tonnage, but also extremely complete in facilities, and the comfort of taking this steamship was not inferior to that of ordinary hotels.
This steamer also has an important significance, it is the first steamship built in Shanghai - in recent years, Yu Guozhen has spared no effort in the construction of Shanghai, he knows what position Shanghai will have in the economic map of China in the future, so the Xinxiang shipyard was divided into two, and the Jiangnan shipyard was built here, in order to support the Jiangnan shipyard, and at the same time the Baoshan Iron Works and the Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau were built, in order to facilitate these, and a large port was also built.
There are a total of four major projects and 156 small projects, and after these projects were arranged in Shanghai, Shanghai suddenly changed from a simple transit business town to a new industrial city. Yu Guozhen's plan was to use Shanghai as the leader to bring economic and commercial prosperity to the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and this required a complete sweep of the gentry and clan forces in the countryside, so that ordinary people could profit from this sweep and thus increase their spending power.
Yu Guozhen is very soberly aware that with today's global purchasing power, it is impossible to consume all the products of Huaxia that have been released by production capacity, and the only way for him to avoid an economic crisis is to control the main industrial products, especially the heavy industries such as steel and cement, as much as possible, and increase the purchasing power within China as much as possible. This is not a perfunctory way to make a big cake or share the cake, but a system that needs to be guaranteed by the military strength in his hands!
So the storm some time ago, others thought that it had come to an end with the arrest of the main culprits. Only Yu Guozhen himself understands that this is not enough, there are still bigger storms to come, and he is already preparing for this.
"Are you in a hurry to see the Chinese princess?" At this time, Fang Ziyi next to him saw that his son was deliberately going farther, and teased in a low voice.
Yu Guozhen turned around and smiled slightly awkwardly. Reach out and take her hand.
He felt that the best vision in his life was to choose Fang Ziyi as his wife. The Fang family's tutor really doesn't have to be said, needless to say, there is no need to say anything like three from four virtues. Fang Ziyi's most admired aunt, because she had no heirs, chose two concubines for Zhang Bingwen who had both talents and colors. and treat the sons of the two concubines as if they were their own.
Although Fang Ziyi can't do Fang Meng's degree, for so many years, she has basically turned a blind eye to Yu Guozhen's lustful side. It's not that she doesn't know, on the contrary, when Liu Ru is jealous and sad with Yu Lian, she has to appease these two people.
Perhaps this is the characteristic of women in this era, Yu Guozhen is a little ashamed in his heart, and at the same time a little happy: with the increase of women's economic power, gradually their political power will inevitably increase. I'm afraid that by the time my son's generation comes, there will be no such good things again.
"Only our daughter can be called a Chinese princess." Yu Guozhen held Fang Ziyi's hand and shook it gently.
Fang Ziyi glanced at him with disgust, but did not let go of his hand.
First, the two old husbands and wives have been married for more than ten years and nearly twenty years. Second, she felt that she also needed to assert her sovereignty. No matter how romantic Yu Guozhen is, his wife, the future queen of the Chinese Empire, is the only one.
Just like when Zhu Yuanzhang's queen only had one horse and a big foot.
After a while, a man appeared on the side of the ship, dressed in a yellow robe. It is Chongzhen.
According to time, this is already Chongzhen's twenty-five years, and Chongzhen, who is more than forty years old, is in the prime of his life. Yicheng's ten-year career has not left too many traces on him, and he seems to be younger and more energetic than ten years ago.
As soon as they saw him, Fang Kongzhi and the others led a group of old ministers of the Ming Dynasty, stepped forward quickly, and reached the ground with a long stump.
"Fang Qing, Zhang Qing, and you!"
Chongzhen was very excited, he almost trotted down, Yu Guozhen shook his head slightly, it seems that Chongzhen has been suffocated in the past ten years.
The soldiers of the Huaxia Army who were loyal to him next to him were still a little vigilant when they looked at Chongzhen, although Chongzhen was invited by Yu Guozhen to Jinling City to watch the ceremony after agreeing to a series of conditions, but who knows if he would have a whim and hexagram under the service of this kind of old ministers.
Chongzhen also saw Yu Guozhen, Yu Guozhen smiled and hugged his fists, but Chongzhen walked a few steps, came to him, stretched out his hand to him, and gave him a handshake.
This is Chongzhen's self-esteem: the handshake shows the equal relationship between the two, although he is the king of the lost country, but after all, he is the emperor's son of heaven. At the same time, this is also a kind of respect for Yu Guozhen's status: Yu Guozhen does not have the title of emperor for the time being, but he already has the title of emperor.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's the first time you've come to Nanjing, right?" Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "Jinling is also an ancient capital, there are some monuments to see, this time Your Majesty will stay in Nanjing for a little longer?" β
"If you hadn't invited me, I wouldn't have come here, because it smells sour." Chongzhen's words can be described as amazing: "This time I took a boat to the Wa Kingdom and Ryukyu, to Luzon and Keelung, and also to Xinxiang and Shanghai - Jimin, can Jinling City compare with these places?" β
Yu Guozhen smiled dumbly, Chongzhen's words were praising him in disguise. But this is also a fact, when it comes to historical sites, although there are many Jinling, but Yanjing, Kaifeng and Xi'an Luoyang before flooding, are not inferior to it, when it comes to scenery, Chongzhen has turned around in this small half a year, and has seen the snow of Fushan, the waves of the East China Sea, the beaches of the South Sea, and the sunrise and sunset on the sea. His horizons have broadened, and Jinling City is inevitably a little small in his heart.
And when it comes to urban construction, Jinling City at this time is indeed not as good as those emerging cities that are built like gardens.
Yu Guozhen is very concerned about environmental issues in emerging cities, including Shanghai, so there are wide green belts on both sides of the road, and open parks are required in each block. This request cost him a lot of extra money, but Yu Guozhen knew very well that the money spent was used to pay various craftsmen, and these salaries would go back to him through the purchase of industrial products in the factory. As long as he can continue to launch new products and inspire people's desire to buy, then he will not worry that the money will not be returned.
However, now the channels for people to invest are still relatively narrow, and there are still a large number of funds deposited in banks or various money banks, how to turn these funds into life and create more wealth is the next step for Yu Guozhen to use his brains.
"It's hard to go around this lap, isn't it?" Yu Guozhen asked with a little concern.
"It's okay, the boat is a little bit high, but it's good to get used to it. Jimin, you should be very busy now, how can you have time to pick me up, have the relevant etiquette been sorted out, don't be deceived by those civil servants, what they are most accustomed to doing is to deceive their subordinates and conceal them. β
Chongzhen now sincerely feels that those Confucian literati are the culprits who mistook him for the world, whether they belong to Donglin Qingliu or the eunuch party, they are essentially all the way. The eunuch is only the emperor's domestic slave, even if Chongzhen defeated the nine-thousand-year-old eunuch Wei Zhongxian, he can't go to the old man to supervise the party, and most of the people who are responsible for fighting for power and profit in various places are still Confucian literati. In particular, those Confucian literati who can only talk clearly and have no way to do anything will be unscrupulous, they simply have no patience to start from the grassroots level, start from little by little, in order to seize power as much as possible to realize their ambitions, so they will choose to take refuge in Wei Zhongxian, and even more will take refuge in other races as slaves and servants, and then go to the Chinese people to show off their might.
"I have already arranged Your Majesty's apartment." Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "Your Majesty is going to the apartment now, or is it going to meet some old people?" β
"If you want to see me, you will naturally find them, and if you don't want to see them, I won't force them." For those old people, Chongzhen was very cold, he was more concerned about other things: "Zhu Yousong, I want to see him." β
The few people next to him were dumbfounded, and Yu Guozhen said: "Okay, I'll let someone arrange for him to come to see Your Majesty." β
The two of them were talking on the dock, and Huang Zongxi, who was looking at this side from a distance, was dumbfounded.
No matter how stupid Huang Zongxi is, he knows who the person who came.
It turned out to be Chongzhen!
In Huang Zongxi's mind, Yu Guozhen's image is getting taller and taller. Yu Guozhen not only treated Chongzhen well, but judging from the current situation of the two, it seems that there is a dialogue between the elders and the juniors!
How is this possible, Huang Zongxi knows Chongzhen's temper, Chongzhen has a strong temperament, how can he talk and laugh with Yu Guozhen, who wants to seize his Zhu Ming's country?
He couldn't help but move closer to this side, and after walking a few steps, he was stopped by the Huaxia army, Huang Zongxi's heart was in chaos, and he forgot to restrain himself a little, and even pushed the soldiers, and was immediately pushed to the ground by the soldiers, seeing that he was going to be taken away, he was in a hurry and shouted: "Yu Jimin, Yu Jimin!" β
Yu Guozhen heard someone calling him and looked over here.
He has always had a simple whereabouts, and this time he sent hundreds of Huaxia troops to the dock, he was already afraid that someone would want to make trouble by taking advantage of Chongzhen, and if he went out by himself, it would be great to be followed by dozens of guards. When he saw that the person who was pushed to the ground was a little familiar, he signaled, and after Huang Zongxi got up, he recognized it: "Hey, Huang Taichong, why are you here?" β
Huang Zongxi raised his neck: "Can't I come?" β
"Who is this person?" Chongzhen asked Yu Guozhen with some surprise.
"Huang Zun Sugong's son, Huang Zongxi, the word is too chong, and his temperament is indeed a little extreme, I just think that Donglin Qingliu is a good person, and Donglin Qinglin can be rich and peaceful when he governs the world."
"Donglin is rich and peaceful in the world? Too young, too naΓ―ve! β
Strictly speaking, Huang Zongxi is now forty years old, he was stunned by Chongzhen's comment of "too young and naΓ―ve", and he was speechless for a long time.
"If it weren't for the gentlemen of Donglin to stop it, I would have moved the capital to Jinling, if it weren't for the gentlemen of Donglin to stop it, I would have opened the sea ban to enrich the country's foot soldiers, if it wasn't for the gentlemen of Donglin to stop it...... Hehe, the good intentions of all gentlemen, I realized it on the day I left Beijing. Chongzhen looked at Huang Zongxi, said this very calmly, and then ignored him: "Jimin, go to the apartment first, you let Zhu Yousong come to see me." (To be continued)
