"Toot ......"

With a long whistle, the ship slowly headed towards the port of Incheon, and as the ship slowly entered the port, several Chinese in robes on the side of the ship looked at Incheon with slightly complicated eyes, a city composed of concessions from various countries like Shanghai, and compared to Shanghai, its prosperity and size were only equivalent to a corner of Shanghai.

"A concession that belongs to China!"

Cao Jifu silently recited this sentence in his heart, and when he looked at the port under construction in the distance of the Chinese Concession port, his expression was a little complicated.

Why should you come here?

Until now, he still doesn't understand the reason for coming here, maybe it was just because of a letter from his old classmates -- "Brother should show what he has learned in the Special Economic Zone", but a simple sentence made his mind float, so that he resigned from his position in the law firm and came to Incheon with a dozen classmates. Came to this concession that belongs to China, and the special zone established by the Unified Supervision Office here also has the name of a concession.

"Jichang, do you say that Lord Tang, as Shaochuan said in the letter, will delegate power to you and me, and do his best to follow the new policy of the West?"

Looking at the various foreign ships in Incheon Port, Zhan Tianyou spoke to Cao Jifu with a slight doubt in his tone

"Not only Shaochuan wrote a letter here, but Shutang and Ruhao also wrote a letter to come over......"

Cao Jifu mentioned that Shutang and Ruhao had also stayed in the United States like them, but they had come to North Korea a few years earlier, and they all praised Tang Haoran in their letters.

"I think, no matter what, he is better than the other officials of the DPRK and China!"

Kwong Rongguang looked at Incheon expectantly.

"You and I have been back since we returned home. Not to mention being guarded against like a thief. That is, what has been learned is useful. But in his eyes, you and I are all different, I think at least here, we are a little similar to Lord Tang, and then since the establishment of the curtain of Lord Tang, he has never taken the initiative to invite a member, and there are only a few members of the curtain, and now he is waiting for the situation in North Korea to be stable. Since I have invited you and me to come here, I think I must want to borrow what you and I have learned in the United States and show what we have learned here! ”

Looking at Incheon with anticipation, Kwong Rongguang continued.

"Build railways, run coal and iron mines, build factories, and build industry and commerce, if the big people in the country are like Lord Tang, I am afraid that the appearance of the dynasty will have a new look!"

"However, if that's all there is to it, what is the difference between the new policy of Lord Tang and the foreign affairs of the dynasty?"

Compared with others, Zeng Dugong, who was recruited back in advance like Cao Jifu. At this time, he seemed to have some doubts about this trip, and he was not just wondering about other people. It's that he can't see the difference between the New Deal and the Western Affairs, at least now he can't see it, the reason why he came to Incheon with a dozen classmates this time is not so much to defect, but to come here for an interview as the editor of the "Zilinxi Daily", unless he sees the difference between the New Deal and the Western Affairs, otherwise, ......

"Okay, let's get ready, the ship has entered the port, whether to stay or go, after I think about this, we will all have the answer in our hearts!"

When the merchant ship broke the waves and entered the port, in the "Incheon Local Affairs Office" in the Incheon Hua Concession, Tang Haoran was drinking tea and talking with Cai Shaoji, the director of the court's judicial affairs department.

It is said that the reason why Cai Shaoji, who was Yuan Shikai's staff, stayed in North Korea was related to the "Yingenmen Incident", although it was later negotiated with the ministers of various countries to agree to withdraw from Seoul, but it involved some issues related to public international law, and because there was no one around him who was familiar with Western France, Tang Haoran left Cai Shaoji behind, and reviewed the New Testament text in the palace to avoid being taken by outsiders, especially Japan.

Perhaps because of the large-scale construction of the Incheon Special Economic Zone, or because small factories such as match factories and silk factories are being built gradually, witnessing the vitality of the Special Economic Zone aroused Tang Haoran's infinite reverie, and the door to the future seems to be opening as if it were itself, and the destiny of the country and the nation will undergo fundamental changes in a few years......

"Ahem......"

Cai Shaoji, who was sitting in front of Tang Haoran, looked at Lord Tang who was talking about business, but he drank tea with a smile on his face, but he didn't say a word, so he coughed.

"My lord, I wonder what your plans are for Incheon?"

Oh! The feeling of being disturbed by someone always disappoints the dream, but looking at Cai Shaoji, Tang Haoran still changed his amiable tone and said with a smile.

"Sorry, I was distracted just now!"

Cai Shaoji was a little funny in his heart, this Lord Tang, he was broad-hearted, and he was about to invest millions of taels of silver in Incheon, but he was all like he was fine? Thinking of this, he replied with a smile.

"My lord, I wonder what your plans are for Incheon?"

Planning?

Tang Haoran was slightly stunned, pondered for a moment, and then said.

"Shutang, there is a place, but I am a little curious, why do young children like you stay in the United States, whether in Shanghai or Tianjin, if they want to live, they all want to live in the concession, but not in the Chinese realm?"

Looking at Cai Shaoji with a smile, Tang Haoran picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said his question, but Cai Shaoji was dumbfounded for a while,

Why live in the concession?

"The ...... of a clean judiciary and good law and order"

There is no need for more reasons, when these two reasons were said, Cai Shaoji's voice became lower and lower, so that in the end, it was like a mosquito at all, how did this sound like a fake foreign devil.

"Oh, I see, what does the Chinese world look like?"

Tang Haoran's rhetorical question made Cai Shaoji dumbfounded?

What does the Chinese world look like?

Although he had the answer in his heart, Cai Shaoji couldn't say it, at least in front of Tang Haoran.

"I heard that during the Xianfeng period, the knife would riot, and the people of Shanghai poured into the concession to escape the war, which caused the population of the concession to skyrocket dozens of times, and the housing prices in the concession soared dozens of times, and then many gentry poured into the concession to escape the war, and then after the chaos was pacified, many gentry moved back to their hometowns, and the housing prices in the concession fell sharply, but within half a year, the people who moved out moved back, Jichang, you live in the concession, can you tell me why this is? Why would the common people prefer to live in the concession rather than return to their own one-third of an acre? ”

Cai Shaoji was silent, he belonged to the kind of people who would rather live in the concession. Even now he has a family business in Tianjin. It is also the Tianjin Concession. Why would you prefer to live in the concession instead of the Chinese community? In addition to the rampant corruption of corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the Chinese world, and the occurrence of bandits from time to time, what is the more important reason? Suddenly, an article he had seen in the "Declaration" a few years ago came to his mind.

"In the concessions of Shanghai, the streets are neat and the eaves are clean. A qiē filth is profane, and it is not allowed to be exposed. Dusty and dirty. No accumulation is allowed. Occasionally, if he abandons filth and other things, he instructs his husband to inspect and clean up. …… Occasional defects and muddy places on the street were repaired by the masonry at the time of arrival; In hot days, there is often the problem of dry soil and dust, so the water wheel was set up for watering; If the water is inundated, there will be ditches everywhere to flow its evil; Considering the fumigation of filth, the dung is carried out in the early morning to get rid of its dirt. ”

Perhaps for many people, it is precisely because of the good environment in the concession that attracts them, and he still remembers the discomfort in China when he first returned to China, and the first recommendation is that the hygiene is not satisfactory.

Looking up at the door, Tang Haoran suddenly said in a solemn voice.

"Let's be honest. The concession is undoubtedly a shame for us. Shame on the country and the nation, but on the other hand, everyone yearns for a better life, a clean judiciary, good law and order, and a clean environment, and if you ask me what my plan is for the Incheon Special Zone, I think this is my plan for the future of the Special Zone......

Thinking of the war four years later, Tang Haoran's heart sank slightly, and he looked at Cao Jifu and continued.

"Of course, to be more precise, I want to make the Incheon Chinese Concession and the Special Administrative Region a "model colony" that competes with the British colonies in China, Hong Kong and Shanghai! ”

Tang Haoran's words made Cai Shaoji take a breath of cold air and look at Tang Haoran in surprise.

"Colony!"

"That's right!"

Tang Haoran said solemnly.

"Perhaps, Korea is the clan of China, but for me, the special zone and the Chinese concession directly under the supervision of the government belong to us in a certain way, and we can plan a modern city here that belongs to us Chinese, and use the latest technology to plan and build the Chinese concession."

Cai Shaoji listened, his expression became more and more solemn, there was no smile on his face, some were just full of shock, the reason why he chose to stay in North Korea instead of going to Taiwan was precisely because Tang Haoran gave him a completely different feeling from Yuan Shikai, but before today, he just felt that Tang Haoran's new policy was definitely different from foreign affairs, but what was the difference? This question has always been buried in his heart, but from the work he ordered, although he can get a glimpse of one or two, but he is still a little puzzled, and now, with his sentence of "colony", he instantly understands the difference between the New Deal and Western affairs.

"North Korea is far away from China, although it is a Chinese domain, but it is by no means a colony, which means that it is far away from Chinese law, not affected by Chinese law, and because of its "specialness" is not governed by Korean law, so here, we can follow the example of Europe and the United States, establish a modern urban management model, and even establish a modern judicial system, merchants come here to do business not from corrupt officials and blackmail, but also under the protection of the Qingming Justice, they can establish companies and factories here, they can live and work here in peace and contentment, and raid the county order of the house, The prefect of the Annihilation Gate, at least in the Special Administrative Region and the Chinese Concession in Korea, will never appear! ”

Even the Chinese Concession of Incheon, still influenced by Chinese traditions, was highly prized by Chinese businessmen, but what about a special zone built on merchant autonomy?

"In the HKSAR, perhaps the HKSAR Office will exercise some of its powers, but I believe that the affairs of the HKSAR should be decided by the tenants in the HKSAR......"

"Lord Tang, are you planning to emulate the tenants' association system in the Shanghai Concession?"

Cai Shaoji is no stranger to the tenants' meetings in the Shanghai Concession, and he has even studied the many benefits that the tenants' meetings have brought to municipal construction.

"At least in a certain way, the Shanghai Concession is a successful model, at least a model of concession management, even if China establishes the Chinese Concession in Incheon, it will also be effective as the concessions of various countries, and although the Incheon Special Zone does not have the name of the concession, but it has the fact of a concession, so it is natural to learn from them in the operation, management and construction of the concession, of course, the Special Zone and the Shanghai Concession are also different, after all, it is located in a relatively remote area, but I think that through our proper publicity, the Chinese people will realize the difference here, Here we will build a paradise for them! A paradise to live and work in,"

Yes, at least for the Chinese people of this era, whether it is the current Korean Chinese Concession or the future Special Economic Zone, it will be a paradise, they will no longer have to face the tyrannical corrupt officials and the Western powers, they will enjoy the same privileges here as those foreign adventurers in the Shanghai Concession!

"Merchants can be fully protected here, and we can implement many new policies in the SAR, of course, on the surface the SEZ implements "autonomy", and this "autonomy" is not our attempt at the future, and perhaps when the time is ripe, the "autonomy" we promote here can be implemented throughout the country, called the "New Deal", which requires us to first think about formulating the appropriate rules - and the law is the most important of them...... Shutang, in this matter, I have to rely on you! ”

Tang Haoran smiled and threw out his thoughts, the difference between the concession and the Chinese realm is just hygiene? The most important rule is based on law, a rule that can at least guarantee judicial fairness, and in contrast to China in this era......

"Your Excellency!"

Cai Shaoji looked at Tang Haoran cautiously, looked at him repeatedly, and said for a while.

"Do you believe that day will come? Will it really work out here? ”

"Yes, as long as we try to do it."

Tang Haoran said affirmatively, and then smiled as if he was not smiling.

"I said, Shutang, you don't doubt it, I won't be in this office for long! Don't worry, if I implement this new policy in the DPRK, it is estimated that I will not stay for long, but don't forget, in the future, the SAR will be autonomous! ”

This is not so much a joke as it is a fact -- the autonomy of the SAR is a shield for Tang Haoran to avoid "impeachment", and at least in a certain way, the people and businessmen of various countries in the SAR are just imitating the concession and have nothing to do with himself as a superintendent.

"This ......"

Faced with the sudden question, Cai Shaoji was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, and said after a while.

"My lord, you are laughing, your lord has orders, you dare not obey in the next place, but in the next manpower, I am afraid that you still need the help of others, no, calculate the time they also have to enter the port, since the adults have arrived in Incheon, it is better to ......"

Before Cai Shaoji finished speaking, Tang Haoran smiled.

"Isn't the reason why I came to Incheon today to welcome them? Let's go, Shutang, you and I will go to the docks together! ”
