Chapter 17: Getting Started 1

86_86695For more than 20 years, Wang Shuhui has been growing up in the bottom environment of modern society.

His understanding and knowledge of the Chinese was also obtained from the bottom. In the view of Wang Shuhui, who is familiar with history and has a background in social sciences, although the Chinese have entered the modern society from feudal society after liberation, the nature of the Chinese people has not changed in the slightest for thousands of years.

The reason why the Chinese people are better than any other country or any nation lies in the fact that from the ancient era of Yao Shunyu soup to the modern society with great development of productive forces and great changes in production relations. For thousands of years, they have maintained a basic attitude of seeking truth from facts. Paying attention to reality, caring about reality, and being keen on improving one's own living environment, this kind of survival attitude integrated into the bloodline has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

In Wang Shuhui's view, the problem of nationalism is a false proposition, and the Chinese actually do not care about the problem of nationalism. The attitude of the Chinese people towards the rulers seems to be negative, but this apparent passivity is actually that they have a calm attitude in the face of the rulers who have changed their lights for thousands of years.

Yes, the Chinese do not care who is the ruler and who acts as the ruling class, nor do they care what ideology the ruler and the ruling class adopt to govern the country. As long as the ruler can maintain social stability, provide a relatively fair social environment for ordinary Chinese, and allow ordinary people to change their living conditions. Then the Chinese don't care what kind of ideas the ruling class propagates in the superstructure. They will devote themselves completely, wholeheartedly to the efforts to improve their living conditions.

The Qing Dynasty was a reactionary regime of a different ethnic group with a colonialist nature. Why was it possible to avoid the defeat of the Yuan and Mongolian rulers who were driven out of the Central Plains in less than a hundred years? Fundamentally, between the plundering and massacre of the Manchu rulers and the exploitation and oppression of the Han landlord bureaucracy, the Chinese believed that the barbaric and crazy Manchu rulers could provide them with a relatively stable living environment. Moreover, the upper echelons of the Manchu reactionary regime strategically chose to maintain the feudal imperial examination system, which also allowed the Chinese to see a possibility that could change their own living conditions.

Under these circumstances, the Chinese endured for 268 years under the rule of the Manchu rulers, perverted and cruel. It was not until the Qing government, under the circumstances of foreign aggression and internal rebellion, that even the basic stability of Chinese society could not be maintained, and it abolished the imperial examination system, stifled the vast number of Chinese, and changed its social status, the only illusory hope of changing its social status, was ruthlessly kicked into the garbage heap of history by all the Chinese people.

"Follow me with meat to eat." This is a slogan that Wang Shuhui often sees on the Internet, full of banter. However, in Wang Shuhui's view, no matter what kind of traveler, which dynasty or environment he travels to, if he wants to change China, he must win the support of the broadest masses of the people. Meeting the needs and needs of the broad masses of the people is the basic condition for being able to gain their support, and it is the most solid foundation for him to be able to change the world and thoroughly transform feudal China in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Shuhui's plan to gain the support of the Chinese people at the end of the Ming Dynasty began by providing those wage laborers who worked for him with living conditions generally higher than in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, even higher than in the Qing Dynasty, and higher than in the Republic of China era. He believed that as long as he could establish a stable system and continuously provide stable, sufficient, and high-quality living conditions for the workers working for him, they would start from the nature of the Chinese people and support Wang Shuhui's leadership from spontaneously to consciously. And Wang Shuhui believes that with the support of the vast number of Chinese people, with the support of materials and technology provided by the golden finger that travels through time and space, he transformed China in the last years of the Ming Dynasty and pushed feudal China to the modern level of an industrial country.

When Zhu Youzi returned to the Zhijiang King Garden, what he saw was the fiery labor scene inside and outside the Zhijiang King Garden, which covers an area of more than 200 acres. Under the command of several craftsmen, the family members responsible for the construction of the courtyard wall are beginning to build a large-scale courtyard wall that includes not only the other garden, but also several rows of warm colored steel houses built next to the outer wall of the other garden a few days ago.

Zhu Youzi didn't take this change to heart, but Liu Huaiyi, the chief housekeeper who already knew about the building, saw the huge scale of the courtyard wall from the foundation of the courtyard wall being excavated. Under his speculation, after this courtyard wall is built, it may be taller and heavier than the city wall of Zhijiang County.

When Zhu Youzi returned home, he wanted to show his good son-in-law his merits immediately, but after looking around, he didn't find Wang Shuhui's shadow among the busy workers repairing the garden. After asking the second uncle, I learned that my good son-in-law was not at home, but went to the county with his daughter, a few children and five second-class family members.

Zhu Youzi's temperament has always been very aggressive, and he doesn't have to worry about whether his daughter will be taken advantage of when he goes out to hang out with Brother Pig. As soon as he turned around and returned to his room, he asked his eldest brother to help him take out the old antique loudspeaker gramophone given to him by Wang Shuhui, put on a record of Chu Opera "Mu Guiying Xiufu", and found a few uncles and brothers who helped tidy up the yard, took out the biscuits and pastries that Wang Shuhui gave him, brewed the flower tea that Wang Shuhui gave him, and invited his uncle and buddies to drink tea and eat dim sum with him.

Zhu Youzi really inherited the genes of his ancestors' idleness, leisure and hard work.

He has a comfortable attitude towards any epoch-making, futuristic technology and supplies. Wang Shuhui originally thought that it would be very troublesome to explain to him some modern supplies such as gramophones and cement. Unexpectedly, this "old man", who is only in his thirties, doesn't care where these things come from or what the principle is.

As long as he knew that the gramophone could sing the kind of opera that he had never heard but liked to listen to, called Chu Opera, the dim sum was delicious, the clothes were very easy to wear, the carriage was easy to sit on, and it was very convenient for the iron stove to boil water and make tea, he indulged in the good sound of the opera, the delicious dim sum, the comfort of the clothes, the grandeur of the carriage, and the fragrance of the tea. As for the principle structure, after knowing how to use it, he didn't even ask. This situation made Wang Shuhui sigh in his heart that his worries were a waste of feelings.

Wang Shuhui recently discovered that it is a very stupid and troublesome thing to change silver from modern times to ancient flowers. He felt that since he wanted to promote social development in ancient times, there was no need to purchase industrial products with relatively simple technical levels such as cement and brick kilns in modern times and transport them to ancient times. However, in ancient times, the construction of these primary industries could not be carried out without sufficient funds, except that technology and equipment could be purchased directly from modern times.

Without abundant capital, it is impossible to recruit workers on a large scale, and without sufficient capital, it is impossible to mine and purchase raw materials on a large scale. Then making money at the end of the Ming Dynasty has become a very important thing.

Ancient societies had ten profiteering industries. They are the opium trade, the Silk Road, the spice route, the gold route, the illicit salt trade, the dye trade, the sword trade, and the foreign cloth trade. Wang Shuhui felt that the opium trade could be carried out to Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asian countries after the naval strength was built. The Silk Road has fallen and there is no need to think about it. The golden shipping routes and the spice trade were in the hands of the Spaniards and the Portuguese, and they were not touched upon for a while. The dye trade was not much of a play before the establishment of the modern chemical industry.

Only the private salt trade, sword trade and foreign cloth trade, Wang Shuhui can rely on the massive supply of modern society to carry out. In his opinion, although it is not possible to carry out industrial construction in this area at this stage in this time and space, he can completely use the massive supply of modern society to dump salt, swords and cloth to the Ming Dynasty. For now, at least, reselling salt and cloth between modern and ancient times is a simple matter. The most important thing is that this can quickly accumulate the funds needed to carry out the construction of primary industry.

After Wang Shuhui thought of this, he prepared to go to Zhijiang County to inspect the basic trade environment at the end of the Ming Dynasty with his fourth uncle, who had worked in the palace before and had been a shopkeeper in the storehouse in the county for several years. With a few children and five second-class family members who were going to be trained as assistants, when they were about to get into the carriage and go to the county seat, Zhu Weiyan, a little radish head, jumped out of the corner and clamored that she must go out with Wang Shuhui.

Zhu Weiyan's fourth uncle Liu Huaiji was very embarrassed. is different from Zhu Youzi, although he also grew up in the palace, the Liu family, as his mother's family, was born as a housekeeper after all, and he had received strict etiquette education from palace officials before, and he attached great importance to rules and etiquette. The simplest expression is that the seven uncles do not call Wang Shuhui a young owner like those hired homeless, but insist on a serious management of Wang Shuhui called "Wang Yibin".

In the Ming Dynasty, the sons-in-law, grandsons-in-law, great-grandsons-in-law, and great-grandsons-in-law of the princes and county kings of the clan were commonly known as Yibin. In "Ming History Volume One Hundred and Twenty-One Biography Nine", there is, "The prince's daughter is called the county lord, the county prince's daughter is the county lord, the granddaughter is the county lord, the great-granddaughter is the county king, the great-granddaughter is the township king, and the son-in-law is all Yibin." The county lord Lu has 800 stones, and the remainder decreases poorly. ”

In other words, the Zhijiang Mansion now has a title in the real sense, which is Zhu Weiyan, the head of the small basket. As the great-granddaughter of the last King Zhijiang, although his father and grandfather did not inherit the title, Zhu Weiyan automatically obtained the title of county monarch as soon as he was born. This is clearly recorded on the genealogy of the Ming Dynasty. Don't look at the fact that there is no money, food, and land, and there is no fiefdom and land, as soon as Zhu Weiyan was born, officials from the Nanjing Ministry of Rites came to register, and she was a real clan and county lord.

Now, the county lord jumped out of an unknown corner, grabbed Wang Shuhui's arm and shouted noisily, making Liu Huaiji, who pays attention to rules and etiquette, very embarrassed and headache. On the contrary, it was Wang Shuhui, the pig brother, who saw Zhu Weiyan wearing a girl's costume with Ming Dynasty materials and craftsmanship. Dressed in a flower crown skirt, with large sleeves and round neck, a pale pink cotton blouse on top, and a dark blue silk jacket skirt below, with a figure that began to develop under various nutritional medicines and abundant dietary supplies, Zhu Weiyan, who turned out to be like a small basket, looked pure and lovely, making him swallow saliva secretly in his heart.

lived to be in his twenties, and it was the first time Wang Shuhui met a girl who was coquettish and cute at him. So this single pig brother agreed to Zhu Weiyan's request without saying a word, and led her to Zhijiang County to hang out
