Chapter 172: The People's Heart

(Thank you for the reward of the glorious charter of the book friend!) ）

Compared with the rest of China, the provinces under the jurisdiction of western Sichuan are undoubtedly more economically dynamic. The field of heavy industry is basically controlled by official capital or the capital of the royal family, but the field of light industry is basically in the private field. In addition, many landlords who were forced to acquire land have also invested in it in order to depreciate the money in their hands and earn more profits, making the industry and commerce in western Sichuan particularly prosperous. At the same time, the living standards of the common people in western Sichuan are getting higher and higher, and after the vast number of peasants own land, under the technical guidance of western Sichuan and very low agricultural taxes, they have also quickly solved the problem of food and clothing.

Last year, the rule of six provinces in western Sichuan was expanded at once, bringing large areas of undeveloped areas into the eyes of merchants in western Sichuan. Industries such as raw silk, textiles, sugar, tea, and breeding are all good opportunities to make money. There are no colonies in western Sichuan, but these newly incorporated provinces are undoubtedly a good place for them to invest. And the local zhèngfu also hopes for these investments, so that the local zhèngfu has enough financial resources to carry out all aspects of construction. It's a win-win.

"Brother has a good eye! Guangxi's cane sugar is famous throughout the country. If my brother goes to Guangxi to open a sugar factory, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money. Hearing the conversation between the middle-aged boss and the guy opposite, Wang Yuze interjected.

"Who's to say it's not? It's no longer the same as it was in previous years. In the past, I only knew that I could not earn a few dollars all year round by holding the land and guarding so much rent. In a year of famine, maybe you will have to lose money. It's better now, the goods from the south to the north can be transferred casually, and the income will be much more profitable than in the ground! The middle-aged boss sighed.

Back then, when the land was forcibly redeemed in western Sichuan, these landlords, as if the sky was about to fall, fought against western Sichuan zhèngfu. Now, after investing capital in industry and commerce, we will know which one is better.

"Yes, although agriculture is fundamental. But industry and commerce are the guarantee of prosperity and strength! Wang Yuze said.

"Haha, what the little brother said is good. Contemptible Sun Fengmao, a native of Wenjiang. I don't know who the little brother is? Where is this going? The middle-aged boss introduced himself. The conversation with Wang Yuze felt quite speculative.

"Brother just call me Wang Yu, I also want to go to Guangxi, is there a chance!" Wang Yuze said a name casually.

"Brother Wang Yu, come to us on the same road! In that place in Guangxi, the people are fierce, so let's go together! Sun Fengmao said.

"No, man. I have other things to do. If my brother is in trouble in Guangxi, he can ask the local garrison for help. Now Guangxi is still under military control, and there will be no big problems! Wang Yuze said.

"That's a pity. However, as long as our army in western Sichuan is there, there will be no problem. Our army in western Sichuan is really good, it only defeated the army of millions of Manchus last year, and this year it has overturned the British, which really greatly boosts the morale of our Chinese! It's like the rotten court of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which foreign war was not beaten with a blue nose and swollen face. What a curse those damn Tartars have made China! Sun Fengmao said with some atmosphere.

"I also wanted to join the army, but the boss didn't allow it. Otherwise, I'd be a majestic soldier now! Sun Fengmao's buddy complained. It seems that he has always been a little worried about not being able to participate in the Western Sichuan Army.

"Just like you, you still join the army, then people want you!" Sun Fengmao quipped.

"Why can't you ask for it? I don't have arms or legs. The guy said very dissatisfied.

When it came to the two of them, Wang Yuze couldn't help but laugh. Although Kawanishi zhèngfu has only been established for decades, everyone has fully agreed with Kawanishi, and the reason is to do their best for the development and growth of Kawanishi, in such a situation, how can Kawanishi develop badly.

"If you want me to say, in last year's war, western Sichuan should have driven all those Manchu Tartars out of the pass and recaptured our Han people." It didn't take long for Sun Fengmao to change the subject.

"zhèngfu also has zhèngfu's difficulties, foreign devils have put pressure on zhèngfu, zhèngfu has to retreat!" Wang Yuze explained.

"These foreign devils are not a good thing. One day, when the marshal unifies China and becomes the emperor, we will settle accounts with them. However, I heard that Dashuai's health is not very good, so don't have any accidents! There was a hint of worry in Sun Fengmao's eyes.

"Boss, isn't there still a young marshal? The young marshal defeated the Manchu Tartars, and also defeated the British. Sun Fengmao's buddy said with some admiration. Obviously, winning two wars in succession has accumulated a lot of popular support for Wang Yuze.

"That's right, and the young marshal. The big marshal is old, and the young marshal can continue to lead western Sichuan. When the time comes, the young marshal will be the emperor, and the big marshal will be the emperor. Reunify China, do those foreign devils dare to underestimate us! Sun Fengmao said excitedly.

"To be an emperor? I heard that many people do not support the emperor now, but think that a constitutional monarchy or a president or something would be better. Wang Wei suddenly said silently. Since last year, Sichuan West has shown its absolute superiority over the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so it is inevitable that Sichuan West will defeat the Manchu Qing and achieve the final victory. At this time, some people began to advocate a constitutional monarchy or a presidential system, as if they were preparing for the future defeat of the Manchus in western Sichuan. The Ministry of the Interior has taken control of these messages. It's just that after consulting Wang Xiao, he didn't take action. After all, the current mainstream news is still asking western Sichuan to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and change the dynasty. However, this kind of sign has to be guarded against! Wang Wei put it up like this, just to test the ordinary people, what do they think? Whether to support Wang Xiao and his son to become emperor after overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"Fart! What bullshit constitutional monarchy and presidential system? My grandson only knows that if we have no emperor, will we still be called China? For thousands of years, who has ever seen a dynasty without an emperor? Those who advocate a constitutional monarchy and a presidential system are nothing more than going to a foreign country to drink foreign ink for a few years, and when they come back, they don't even recognize their ancestors? Lao Sun's reaction was very fierce, and he scolded directly.

The other passengers in the carriage, after hearing their conversation, also expressed their opinions. However, these simple people, almost all of them support the emperor. After thousands of years of feudal society, the concept of imperialism has been deeply implanted in the depths of the Chinese mind. In their coming, if even the emperor is gone, is it still a country? Of course, what they are looking forward to is not the kind of Tartar emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the kind of holy monarch who is the world in word of mouth.

Wang Yuze suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy. The Chinese people are undoubtedly the most simple, as long as they can have hope and can mix food and clothing, they will be satisfied. In the place where western Sichuan ruled, it was not difficult to achieve this. But in the vast rest of China, almost the majority of the people still live below the level of food and clothing. In addition, since the people support their father and son so much, Wang Yuze is also more responsible to let these people live a happy life.

As for those who advocate a constitutional monarchy and a presidential system, Wang Yuze also knows. However, he does not have the energy to care about these things for the time being, and these claims have no market in China for the time being. The coming decades will be crucial for China, and China needs a strong leader to lead China to establish itself in the world and compete for as many interests as possible for China. Therefore, in the beginning, Wang Yuze would accept the imperial system. However, when the country's development is on the right track and China has become completely strong, perhaps, Wang Yuze will slowly accept the constitutional monarchy. After all, he has crossed over, and his vision and ability are still relatively high. But what about his children and grandchildren? In case there is an unscrupulous descendant, and then overthrown by others, and then the dynasty is changed. Then you can't be killed by others? In this way, the constitutional monarchy is undoubtedly a good political system that ensures the inheritance of the Wang family and the stability of China. However, it is too early to say that China is still rising, and it still needs an emperor to lead them to struggle.

The train clanged and it took two days to get from Chengdu to Duyun. However, after arriving in Tuyun, the train could no longer move forward. This section of the railway is transporting a large number of sleepers and steel rails needed to build the railway ahead. If passengers want to go to Guangxi, they have to walk, ride horses or take horse-drawn carriages.

Wang Yuze and Wang Wei were also separated from Sun Fengmao here, and they had to rush to the railway construction headquarters in front, while Sun Fengmao and others went to Guangxi by carriage with other passengers.

"Boss, this person named Wang Yu seems to be a character!" Sun Fengmao's buddy said.

"Of course, have you ever seen someone with a few bodyguards everywhere?" Sun Fengmao said disdainfully. After getting off the train, he warmly invited Wang Yuze to go with him all the way, but Wang Yuze refused. At this time, some bodyguards had already found a few war horses. Of course, Sun Fengmao knew that Wang Yuze's identity was probably not simple.

"Boss, who the hell is he?" The guy asked curiously?

"How do I know? Anyway, it has nothing to do with us little people. You kid still follow the boss and me to open a sugar factory in Guangxi, and after you make money, you can go home and marry your daughter-in-law! Sun Fengmao glanced at Wang Yuze, who was riding away, and pulled the men to find the carriage.
