(1st Update)

This is the shipping wharf of Shanghai, only to see wandering in the harbor area, flying the flags of various countries of the merchant ships countless, large and small, afraid of no less than 100 ships, as far as the eye can see, all covered by the black smoke spit out by this ship.

The scene on the shore is even more unconcealable to the eyelids, the high Atlantic buildings are lined up one after another, one after another, looking at it from afar, stretching for miles away, the straight eyes are dazzled, although these buildings are similar, but the origin is different, British classical, neoclassical, Renaissance, French classical, French large residential style, Gothic, Baroque, modern Western, East Indian, eclectic, Chinese and Western mixture... It is really a gathering of buildings from all over the world, showing the essence of world civilization, and I am used to staying in the Northland, and when I first arrived here, it is difficult for anyone to express the taste of this situation.

"Lianggong, this is Shanghai Shili Ocean." Wang Zhaoming looked at Ye Kai's slightly surprised expression and said, "Exotic customs are indeed rare in the northern country. ”

"It deserves to be called the largest metropolis in the Far East."

Although he was mentally prepared, Ye Kai couldn't help but admire, but after a while, he felt a little regretful, "It's a pity, but it was done by foreigners, not created by China, to be self-reliant, not only to learn the essence of the West, but also to do their best, as the so-called self-reliance, in this way, in order not to be controlled by others." ”

Wang Zhaoming listened to it and didn't say a word, as a hot-blooded Chinese who is determined to revitalize China, who doesn't want to let this prosperity spread all over China, let the great powers see, the Chinese yellow race can also stand in the forest of the world, so he agreed with Ye Kai's words, and secretly nodded.

Ye Kaizheng sighed, Han Cuier came with broken steps, seeing the magnificent landscape in front of her, the dizziness in her brain seemed to be a little shallower, a woman like her had never been to Jiangnan in her life, let alone Shanghai, "Master, this place is very lively and prosperous, it looks like it is out of the Qing Dynasty." ”

Although Han Cuier's words were unintentional, Ye Kai suddenly remembered a little, what he paid attention to was not these majestic exotic buildings, but implicit in them, modern municipal construction, you must know that in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, whether it is in the north or in the south, the word city has not yet appeared, and the gathering place of Chinese people is still on the basis of the city, and the corresponding urban management planning is not a shadow.

Isn't it ridiculous that a big country is trapped by a circle of city walls?

Sighing silently, Ye Kai shook his head, these things will change in the future, all he has to do is to make this change come earlier, if he wants to do great things, he must be a big official, and if he wants to change the fortunes of the country in China, he must be the biggest official in the world.

"Mr. Wang, what is that place? How is it empty? ”

Standing at the bow of the boat, Ye Kai pointed to the opposite shore, and then asked Wang Zhaoming.

Wang Zhaoming glanced at it from a distance and said, "Lianggong, this place is called the Huangpu River, which is east of the Jupu River, so it was called Pudong in the old days." ”

Pudong?

Ye Kai snorted in his mouth, this familiar word, now it is such a situation, separated by a water, the two sides of the strait can almost be called a world of difference, looking from afar, along the Pudong coast, the barren grass is craggy, strange trees are overgrown, patches of reeds cover the sight, among which you can vaguely see a few lonely graves are located, even the smoke of cooking in the village is a few miles away, I think there is no one here, it is extremely barren, no wonder later generations say "I would rather have a bed in Puxi than a suite in Pudong." "That's probably where it comes from.

Looking at this scene, who would have known that 100 years later, high-rise buildings will be built here, every inch of land will be expensive, and it will become the premier financial center.

The strong contrast gave birth to a sense of vicissitudes of life in Ye Kaiheng.

A hundred years later, this place leads the rise of a new era, now, he sits in the south of the Yangtze River, as a governor, and creates an infrastructure industry, not to start from this place, the rich land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, merchants are everywhere, and the chaebols are numerous, if they can be used for their own purposes, they will be able to become strong reinforcements in the future, the old saying is good, those who get rich win the world, the vigorous Xinhai Revolution, is not because of the overstretched financial problems and fall short, if the military salary and food in the hands are abundant, Sun Wen will be forced to sign a series of loan treaties that humiliate the country, Will Yuan Datou be forced to the negotiating table?

The answer is self-explanatory.

Looking at the Pudong shore of the loess and smoke, Ye Kai already had his first idea.

A new city, with finance, economy, industry, shipbuilding, military industry, and iron and steel, is enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the concession on the other side, and even catch up.

"Thousands of sails pass by the side of the sunken boat, and ten thousand trees spring in front of the sick tree."

Somehow, Ye Kai suddenly remembered this poem, probably this situation and this scene, which is 99% similar to the one in front of him.

Of course, all this still needs to wait for Ye Kai to stabilize the military and political power in Jiangnan, you must know that there are countless pairs of eyes waiting for him around him, these people, including Yi-Xuan, local forces, and even the blood-stained Restoration Society...

Woo~Woo~

The ferry roared with a low steam and slowly sailed towards the pier with the troop carrier behind it.

"Marshal, the dock has arrived, and you can get off the ship." Zhang Xiaoguang reported.

"Well, tell Lu Shuangming, line up, get off the boat, and assemble on the dock."

After a while, thousands of people stood neatly on the wharf, the workers, passengers, and traders on the shore were completely frightened, when had they ever seen this kind of scene, some of them were bold and approaching, and some simply ran away with their luggage, and there were no local officials at the scene to greet them, so they did not clear the scene or say that they were not cleared, because this trip was completely changed by Ye Kai and came straight to Shanghai.

What others think, Ye Kaizi doesn't care about this.

"I had a good time talking with the good man, but I was a little reluctant to go." Wang Zhaoming was dressed neatly in a suit, holding a suitcase in his hand, which contained 50 taels of silver funded by Ye Kai.

"If Mr. Wang doesn't want to leave, he can come to the official mansion and become a senior staff, but your Mr. Sun must be reluctant." After speaking, Ye Kai laughed, Wang Zhaoming also laughed, all kinds of unpleasantness caused by the assassination in Beijing also disappeared, along the way, if it wasn't for the good prince to mention something, then how could he not come back to such a field, the generous person in front of him is indeed an outlier among the Qing court officials.

"Cooperation?" Ye Kai whispered.

"Lianggong rest assured, when I see Premier Sun, I will say that cooperation is the first and safety is the second."

"Haha, that's good."

"The concession pier is not far from here, that.. Good announcement! ”

"Mr. Wang walks slowly"

After a few steps, Wang Zhaoming walked away, thinking that he also remembered Ye Kai's words in his heart.

"Dashuai, do you want to send someone to follow?" Seeing people walking away, Zhang Xiaoguang came up with a needle.

"No, since we want to cooperate, we must always show some sincerity."

Ye Kai smiled, turned around and ordered, "It's time for us to do our business, let's go, go to Shanghai County!" (To be continued.) )
