Gu Yanwu walked slowly to the big building known as "Meilou" with his hands behind his back, looked at the signboard upstairs, and stopped slightly.

One of the functions of electricity is this kind of signboard composed of small light bulbs, which makes the night decoration of the city more beautiful, and a woman like Gu Mei will naturally not give up such a new thing, so the signboard of Meilou is adorned with countless small light bulbs.

But Gu Yanwu knew that Gu Mei was not happy.

She wanted to climb the high branches all her life, but in the end she was depressed, although she had a huge industry, she never got Yu Guozhen's face - Yu Guozhen even went to steal the princess of the former Ming Dynasty, but never stayed with her.

Up to now, when it comes to Yu Guozhen, Gu Mei is still gritting his teeth.

However, Gu Mei's business is doing well, Meilou and Hengbo Society opened from Xinxiang to Jinling, and from Jinling to Shanghai, and now Yanjing also has her branch, with the collar and telegraph, she remotely controls these many industries, and has always been considered the richest woman in the Chinese Dynasty.

I don't know how many pretentious old literati want to marry her, even if she is now close to half a hundred years old, but there are always people who come to the door to recommend themselves - don't those jokes all say that some poor talents meet rich women, and rich women have to ask for a few enchanting concubines for poor talents.

Such a poor and sour measure is so great that it is necessary to eat sticks. Gu Yanwu naturally didn't eat it, he didn't come out until this time, it was to avoid the most troublesome moment of the day, and even a friend who was far away in Liaodong asked him by telegram if the news he announced today was true or false.

His Majesty abdicated after eight years!

For Huaxia, this is shocking news, and even everyone's attention is focused on this matter. I don't know how many people's homes, how many houses, this is the topic of conversation all day today.

In the eyebrow where I want to gather heroes from all walks of life, it should be this matter that I talk about the most today.

Slowly stepping into the building, Gu Yanwu walked through the lobby, and heard the storyteller slap the table: "The saint was furious, looked back left and right, and shouted, 'Who will capture this thief for me',......

This is the storyteller talking about "The Great Xinglu of the National Dynasty", the Chinese Dynasty can't help but talk about the people, although there is still some evasion of Yu Guozhen's name, but for his deeds of starting a business and building a foundation, it can't help but spread, of course, the kind of disgruntled old literati who make up rumors and slander are still on the blacklist. Although Liu Jingting has passed away, the storytelling industry is Dachang, and there are people in the better teahouses and restaurants who specialize in storytelling.

"Tsk, Your Majesty founded the foundation and won a hundred battles, but now it is abdicating for a period of 12 years, and it is really rare in ancient and modern times."

"Indeed, in the later years of the emperors in ancient times, there were many times of rebellion, Emperor Wu of Liang was heroic, and in his later years there was the rebellion of Hou Jing, and even Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, known as Ming Jun, also had perverse practices in his later years. Greedy for power, so that you can't support yourself, why bother? ”

"Otherwise, otherwise, Your Majesty Shengming, Mingjian is thousands of miles, I have no Your Majesty in China, just like heaven and earth without sun and moon. Your Majesty, if there is no old man, where should we go? ”

Such a comment reached Gu Yanwu's ears, and Gu Yanwu smiled.

He knows better than these people the reason why Yu Guozhen wants to "abdicate".

On the second floor, he was waiting to greet Dr. Cha to arrange a single room for him, but he saw a young man coming up to him and saluting him respectfully: "Mr. Gu, my husband is invited." ”

Gu Yanwu was stunned, and then recognized this person as Wang Chuanyu's secretary.

After the abolition of the master system, the paperwork of the officials began to be entrusted to the secretary, but the secretary generally used a young man no more than thirty-five years old, unless the young man himself had no pursuit of official career. Gu Yanwu nodded, followed the young man into a private room, and saw Wang Chuanyu sitting there with a vicissitudes of life, with a few plates of tea and a pot of tea in front of him.

The water is boiling, and the tea is fragrant.

"Shoufu ......"

"In seven days, it won't be Shousuke. ,、Wang Chuanlu was a little lost.

"This is a bad statement, although the ninth has been replaced, but the replacement of the old and the new, we still have to wait until January next year." Gu Yanwu said with a smile: "Shoufu still has a three-month term. ”

Wang Chuanlu nodded, and the three-month term was ...... It's a fleeting thing.

"I don't understand why Your Majesty is in a hurry to abdicate, even after eight years, Your Majesty is only just over sixty, with Your Majesty's body, it will be okay to do it for another eight years. Over the years, under the rule of His Majesty, our Huaxia is the sect of all nations, the people are rich, and the progress of the market is unprecedented.

The sound of conversation outside came in again, and Wang Chuanyu sighed: "Even the people in the market understand the truth, why is Your Majesty so stubborn?" ”

Gu Yanwu smiled: "I also asked Your Majesty in an exclusive interview, didn't Your Majesty say that a reasonable retirement system is the only way to avoid too intense turbulence in the replacement of the old and the new." The reason why the successive monarchs have changed often has a bloody wind is nothing more than because the old people are greedy for power, and the prime of life has no hope of displaying their talents, and even the young lord ascends the throne and is unable to support it. ”

"Your Majesty is in full bloom, and it has not yet reached this point, and it is okay to retire after seventy."

"Hehe, Your Majesty said that he is still in good health and can move around, so I hope to visit the great rivers and mountains of our China seventy years ago, like Mr. Xu Hongzu - the invention called the camera, wasn't it made under the personal supervision of His Majesty?"

In this interview with Yu Guozhen after his abdication eight years later, Yu Guozhen specifically mentioned the invention of the "camera", which is a new type of machinery that was introduced only half a year ago, and is also the result of the development of Huaxia chemistry and optics to a high level. It can be used to clearly create images of landscapes and people, and it is said that in the near future, color images will be released.

For Chinese art, which advocates freehand, the realistic image of the camera is really a bit inconsistent. But for ordinary people, this is a surprising thing, as long as you hold a static posture for a few seconds, you can take a picture of a person, which is really amazing.

Gu Yanwu knew that this was the result of nearly 30 years of rapid development of Huaxia chemistry and optics. Under Yu Guozhen's personal involvement, hundreds of researchers spent a lot of time and energy on this matter. Gu Yanwu didn't know why Yu Guozhen was like this before, but this time, he got some kind of answer from Yu Guozhen.

"Your Majesty is the emperor, and you can travel the world without abdicating at all." Wang Chuanyun sighed.

"If you travel the world for the emperor, I'm afraid that there will be absurd state affairs, just like Emperor Yang of Sui?" Gu Yanwu seemed to be smiling.

"This ......" Wang Chuanyu also complained, he knew that Gu Yanwu was Yu Guozhen's diehard, and whether Yu Guozhen's decision was correct or not, he would wholeheartedly support it.

"Shousuke, do you want to be re-elected?"

After writing comments on current affairs for so many years, Gu Yanwu's political sense is also extremely keen, and from Wang Chuanyu's reaction, he finally understood what Wang Chuanyu meant.

Mr. Wang did not respond to a response.

Yu Guozhen didn't give him a chance to be re-elected at all, and even the emperor had to abdicate and retire, so why did he sit down continuously?

What's more, Yu Guozhen also criticized the cause of overproduction in recent years, and obviously did not have hope that he could solve this problem. In this case, it is natural for someone with more means to come up.

Who has the means?

Wang Chuanyu already knew who Yu Guozhen's ideal next first assistant was.

"Shogan, ......"

"Veteran, this time I need you to go out, humanity is a veteran, one is against two, I want to see if you can be two first assistants."

At the same time, Yu Guozhen was meeting Jiang An in the study.

In Wang Chuanyu's first term, in addition to Zhang Chi's resignation as a second assistant and retirement, Jiang An and Zhang Zheng were both in office, and four other secondary assistants were added, but in Wang Chuanyu's second term, because there were some problems in Chanzhou, Jiang An was appointed as a deputy assistant and the governor of Chanzhou to be stationed in Chanzhou, in fact, Wang Chuanlu was expelled from the central circle, and it was only before this joint meeting that he returned to Shanghai.

Hearing Yu Guozhen's words, Jiang An did not speak for a while. After thinking for a full five minutes, Jiang An said: "Your Majesty has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and Jiang An does not dare not do his best, but for the matter of overproduction, Jiang An really has no good way, and now there is only one strategy, that is, to force Europa, Tianzhu and Persia to open their markets by force." ”

Yu Guozhen shook his head: "Force is definitely not a way, the resistance will not stop, even if we kill all the rebels, then our goal has not been achieved, and we still can't solve the problem of surplus in the country." Moreover, I do not want to set a precedent for turning to external exports whenever there are internal contradictions, and to solve internal contradictions with foreign wars, and the final result is either to cultivate warlords or to bring down themselves.

Militarism has never been Yu Guozhen's first choice, and China is far ahead of other countries so far, and as long as it maintains its development, even if there are some twists and turns similar to the economic crisis, it will not affect China's bright future. On the contrary, trying to provoke a foreign war for the sake of a small internal contradiction will only intensify the internal contradiction, which is Yu Guozhen's understanding.

"And what should you do?"

"We are now in a huge overcapacity of material wealth, but not the overcapacity of the entire wealth." Yu Guozhen did not talk in detail about Wang Chuanlu, but facing Jiang'an, he felt that he could get to the bottom of it: "We have built enough roads now, these roads can send people to all parts of China's great rivers and mountains, and visiting these great rivers and mountains can drive countless people to work.... ……．． Now that they have a job and an income, they have the financial resources to buy surplus products."

Yu Guozhen's solution is to adjust the industrial structure of China and greatly increase the proportion of the tertiary industry, which can create spiritual wealth, in the industry!

Over the years, the literacy rate of the Chinese people has increased, and the ability to appreciate beauty is also improving, which will urgently become consumer demand, and these needs will become a huge impetus for the next round of development of China.

For Jiangan, this is the opening of a new door.

"It is no wonder that His Majesty said in an interview that he would use his camera to capture all kinds of wonders...... It turns out that His Majesty is planning to do so! (To be continued)
