Chapter 1264 - The Royal Union of Hong Kong?

When the King of Hawaii and Duke of Hong Kong, Chu Kwok-kit, arrived with his wife, Helena, this autumn, they were greeted by the dirt of the construction site. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info~~~ Only the area around Xuanwu Lake and the Imperial City of Nanjing is still quite clean, boating on the lake, looking at the surrounding rows of buildings, there is a feeling of being in London, but these buildings all have a Chinese-style roof without exception.

Zhu Jishi sat in a painting boat on the lake, and it was this young couple who came from afar who sat with him. Princess Helena's belly was already bulging, which was why the couple returned to Nanjing. After all, the medical conditions of the Affiliated Hospital of Hong Kong Jishi University are not as good as those of Yingtian Royal Hospital, which has a large number of the best doctors of this era, especially in obstetrics, gynaecology and pediatrics. However, the child who will be born is not Zhu Jishi's eldest grandson, Zhu Guoxiong's chosen servant Xuedie has given birth a week ago, and successfully gave birth to a baby boy named Zhibang.

Zhu Jishi, who became a grandfather, seemed to be in a good mood, because he drank a little wine, his face was slightly drunk, he leaned back on the chair, looked at his eldest son, and looked very happy. I heard him laugh and say: "Jie'er, you have made some achievements in Hong Kong for more than two years, and even the prince is highly respected in the telegram." I now plan to learn from you and start a townhouse project in the cities of the Ming and Han Empires. ”

Zhu Guojie looked even more excited than him, not because he was going to be a father, but because Zhu Jishi gave him some insight during the secret conversation between father and son last night - his future will not be nested on the tiny island of Hong Kong forever, nor will he be the nominal king of Hawaii for the rest of his life. The Kingdom of Nanhua, which is now the land called Australia, is the country that Zhu Guojie will rule...... The future Great China Empire will consist of five main parts: China, South China, North China, East China, and West China. To add Japan, Korea, Siam, Taiping, Western Qing, Hawaii, Ryukyu, the Philippines, Nanyang (referring to the Dutch East Indies excluding Sumatra), New Japan, and Nanzhao (part of Burma) are added. There may also be an Indian Empire and even a whole host of vassal states such as the Turkish Empire. It's almost half the world. Form a system of world empires.

Of course, this bottom can only be handed over to Zhu Guojie now, and Princess Helena can't be let know. If it weren't for the fact that Zhu Guojie had shown enough talent as a politician in Hong Kong for more than two years, Zhu Jishi would not have revealed a few words to him.

Hearing Zhu Jishi's praise, Zhu Guojie just smiled: "Father, what is so difficult to govern in small Hong Kong?" What is not under the nose of the son? As long as you have your back to the mountain of Daming, you can always do it well with a little thought. In Europe, most of the small countries with oligophiles are well governed. It is necessary to talk about the lives of ordinary people. Britain and France are incomparable. ”

Zhu Jishi nodded, and the situation in later generations was also like this. Many small countries with small populations, as long as they take care of their positions with care and accuracy, and the people are diligent, they can always achieve national security and prosperity for the people. Unless we become the world leader, we will certainly not have a good life -- because as long as such a country is fully developed, it will have the qualifications to win world hegemony and will surely become the target of world hegemony! This is also the reason why Zhu Jishi is planning to lead the Ming Empire to the top of the world hegemony and build the world empire of Greater China in his lifetime. As long as China becomes such a superpower, it will be the only one that will suppress other countries. If we divide other countries, there will be absolutely no chance for other countries to attack China.

"But it's not easy to govern a small state well." Zhu Jishi poured a glass of wine for himself and his son. smiled and said, "This Hong Kong may not be able to get a good job if it is replaced by someone else." He paused, then continued, "How many workers are there in Hong Kong now?" Are they all safe? In the past two years, there have been more and more labor disputes in Daming and Handi. I'm so worried! ”

Hearing Zhu Jishi's somewhat tired words, Zhu Guojie just shook his head slightly. He had spent a long time in Europe and had a real understanding of the proletarian struggle in this time and space - in his opinion, the struggle of the proletariat was entirely the result of the greed and weakness of the bourgeoisie! He smiled coldly and said: "Father, including Macau, Hong Kong now has a population of about 360,000, of which 60,000 are in Macau, less than 100,000 on Hong Kong Island, and the population of the Kowloon Peninsula is more than 200,000. Hong Kong's industrial estates are also concentrated in Kowloon. The number of workers in Hong Kong is about 100,000, of which less than 60,000 are workers in the machinery industry. It is mainly concentrated in the clock, shipbuilding, hardware, food processing and other industries. In the past two years, it has been relatively stable, and there is no large trade union organization at present, and Erchen plans to set up a trade union later......"

When Zhu Jishi heard his son say this, he suddenly interrupted: "What, what? Are you planning to start a union? Jer, do you know what a union is? ”

Zhu Guojie smiled, "Of course Erchen knows, the trade union activities in Britain are very powerful. His brow furrowed, "But without the struggle of the British Workers' Federation, the life of the British workers would have been several times more miserable than it is now, and I am afraid that a revolution would have started long ago." The capitalists in England are desperate not to pay a single child to the workers! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at his father and said in a low voice: "Father, in fact, capitalists are the ones who hate the most. On the one hand, they are mercenary, desperately squeezing laborers, making their food and clothing problems; On the one hand, they are unwilling to let the government have too much power and resources, and they do not support the bloody crackdown of the government, but they are afraid that the government will become addicted to killing and the knife will fall on their heads one day! Therefore, Erchen will not indulge these profiteers too much in Hong Kong, but he cannot let others take the lead in forming trade unions. Erchen planned to follow the example of the British Federation of Trade Unions to organize Hong Kong's own trade union, and Erchen himself became the chairman to personally mediate labor disputes in Hong Kong. ”

Will this work? Zhu Jishi was a little skeptical. He knows a little about the affairs of the government-run trade unions, that is, he organizes the watching of some movies that are not very good-looking, and distributes some labor protection supplies...... Of course, he didn't join a union, but he went to the movies with his parents. Such a union is certainly not a problem in the 21st century, when democracy and freedom have been bankrupt. But what could the working class do in the middle of the 19th century, when the working class struggled for the illusory goal of democracy and freedom in this world, under the leadership of the pioneers of the international communist movement? The current proletarian struggle in Europe is a combination of strikes, uprisings, assassinations, and bombs!

Zhu Jishi groaned: "Emperor, your younger brother called a few days ago, saying that there was a self-proclaimed leader of the Chinese Workers' Association named Jiang Zhaocong who had met him in Poland. The other party said that he wanted to return to China to engage in a labor movement...... Engels suggested that he go to Japan for a trial. I think the Japanese plate is still a bit big, and if it gets messy, your Aunt Akiko won't be able to control it. Why don't you let him come to Hong Kong to help you? ”

"Okay!" Zhu Guojie smiled and nodded, "This is the best, Erchen is worried that he can't find a talent to engage in a trade union, since someone has sent it to the door, let him come to Erchen...... How about making him the vice president of the Royal Trade Union of Hong Kong? ”

The Royal Trade Union of Hong Kong? Zhu Jishixin said that he had only heard of the Royal Hong Kong Police, and now he actually created a Hong Kong Royal Trade Union...... Can this union and the royal family get together?

He picked up the wine glass on the table, took a shallow sip, and put down the glass, his eyes were already firm: "Okay! The Royal Union is the Royal Union! Emperor, this matter is very important, and we must do it well. If I can succeed, my future will be a little more peaceful...... Emperor, I am now laying the foundation for China's thousand-year-old prosperity, and every step is related to the stability of the next few decades or hundreds of years, and I sometimes don't know where to go. So a lot of things can only be piloted in Hong Kong, do you know how heavy the responsibility is on your shoulders? ”

Zhu Guojie let out a "hmm" and nodded silently.

The lake was silent, the autumn wind blew, and the father and son on the boat were relatively silent. Thinking of the responsibility he will assume in this great era, Zhu Guojie feels extremely honored. Although he can't become the emperor of the Great Chinese Empire, it seems that he will not be wasted in this life. (To be continued.) )u
