Chapter 48: The Wanderer Returns Home

Zhang Cai returned to his homeland where he was born, grew up and said goodbye to a long time. He departed from the Yangon military port, but returned from the port of Tianjin.

He also knew that it had only been long since it had been conquered by the Republic, so naturally it could not be very prosperous. However, the government was very efficient, and the officials were very attentive, so the post-war reconstruction work was very well done.

The port was already a hot scene, and Zhang Cai didn't want to alarm the people when he came back this time, so he chose to return secretly.

As soon as I got down to the port, a lot of coolie laborers came to ask if they wanted to transport the goods. Don't look at their hard work every day, their income is not lower than that of migrant workers in the city.

What kind of goods does Zhang Cai have? The bulk of the goods have been transported to Chang'an through a special channel, and at this moment there are only one or two packages around him, and they are carried by a few personal soldiers, so naturally they are not needed.

"This old brother, you can ask no, isn't this Tianjin Port occupied by the Republic for a year? Why is it so lively?! Zhang Cai asked curiously.

"This lord, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary maritime merchant, right?" Who knew that the other party glanced at Zhang Cai vigilantly.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I went to Yuewang Island a few years ago and didn't come back until this year. When I went there, the port of Tianjin had not yet been built, and it even belonged to the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty! Zhang Cai said with a smile.

"No wonder, it turned out to be a wanderer in a foreign country for many years...... Little brother, you are young, but you have also suffered a lot! In fact, it is nothing, a large number of machinery has been invested in the construction, which has saved a lot of our body and increased the speed of construction. Not to mention that a large number of building materials were transported here, especially cement, which is a convenient building material, a large road was paved, and it was completed in only ten days, not to mention this huge port. Little brother, you don't know, in order to build this port, His Majesty even used 3,000 slave laborers to build it, this group of foreign slaves, who worked hard, and the port that was expected to be completed within five months was completed in just over three months. This coolie has been working in Tianjin Port for a living, and has witnessed the miraculous change from a small port to a deep-water port, and his heart is also very emotional.

"I see, I haven't been back for a few years, and I don't know what happened to my hometown." Zhang Cai was a little emotional.

"It should be better to come, Your Majesty loves the people like a child, that is real care for our people, and it attaches great importance to the people's livelihood. Under his urging, those officials and masters couldn't slack off their work first, and really became the parents of our people...... Haha, I, Zhao 13, lived to be forty years old and witnessed the decline and fall of the Ming Dynasty, but I finally really understood what it meant to be a parent official! Laborer Zhao 13 said with great relief.

In the past, I only understood that this official was the Lord of Yama who constantly oppressed their coolies, and at least seventy percent of his salary had to go into the pockets of the officials. But if you don't pay it, you can't pay it, and if you don't pay it, you won't even be allowed to work here. After the republic came to power, all the officials and masters before were arrested, and some were even beheaded, and when I watched them beheaded in the vegetable market, my heart was really funny.

The new official is the real official, and he is always on the front line to pay attention to what he and what the common people need and desire. In fact, what did the common people crave? It's nothing more than a full meal, so you don't have to sleep on the streets, which is actually a good result. If you can eat some meat, it is an emperor-level enjoyment. If there's a small bungalow shelter from the elements, and a hard bed to sleep on, it's a heavenly treat.

The vast number of ordinary people have never had anything extravagant...... But why can't the previous official master be satisfied!?

Thinking of this, Zhao Shisan also became a little intoxicated, the expression on his face was very rich, sometimes relieved, sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes excited and sometimes frustrated, and he didn't know which one was the real him. All I know is that he really seems to have gone through many, many ......

Zhang Cai didn't bother him, just looked at him silently, and seemed to understand something in his heart.

In the end, Zhao Shisan finally came back to his senses, and after a few brief words with Zhang Cai, he went directly to pick up the job. Although the salary is not too low, if you don't work, then there is no salary. He is not like a civil servant, he does not need to work by the piece while sitting in the office, but he can still get so much salary.

Zhang Cai said goodbye to the coolie and did not rush back, but only stayed in Tianjin for a few days.

During these few days, he mingled with the lowest level of the people of the republic and learned about their sufferings and difficulties. Suddenly he understood that his father really loved him too much...... You must know that the people of Yuewang Island are basically propertied people, and most of them have been able to develop independently without much help in the past. Seeing that Yuewang Island was built so quickly and prosperously, I thought that I was very capable.

Who would have thought that if my father had sent all the refugees to him at the beginning, lacking food and clothing and had no hope of survival, he would really have to control this group of people, but I am afraid it would not be so simple. One is not good at causing civil unrest, and he can't say that he will be guillotined by these rioters. Therefore, it can be seen from this that when he said that he wanted to develop Australia, his father did help him silently, but he didn't know it.

Suddenly, he wanted to go back to Chang'an City, to his home, to meet his father, to see his mother.

In the past few years, I have seen a lot, done a lot, and understood a lot. In fact, I am not smart, I can't apply the knowledge of books, and no matter how much knowledge I have, I am just a nerd; And in this world, there is absolutely no need for deception, and Huaxia is rich in this kind of scheming storage. In the eyes of these old foxes, they are simply a little doll who has not quit milking.

In this way, it is indeed unsafe for me to continue to stay on Yuewang Island. Today you can have Kong Yu, tomorrow you can also have Zhao Yu or Sun Yu, if you can't mature as much as possible, you will only suffer in the end.

After Zhang Cai figured it out, he didn't continue to stay, but hurried back to Chang'an, and even Beijing didn't stop.

However, when he sat on the train and ran on the tracks, he realized that in the few years he had been walking, the scientific and technological level of the Republic had reached the point where he looked up to him. In the past few years, I am afraid that I have missed too many things......

Finally, he returned to Chang'an City, but hesitated outside the palace.

Back then, he left this home and threatened to create a career. In the end, the cause was created, but it was almost used to rebel. Zhang Cai, who deeply felt that he was immature, suddenly realized how ridiculous his attachment was back then.

So, he really didn't have much face and walked through this door.

But he didn't want to, at this moment the gate of the palace opened, and under the escort of the soldiers, Zhang Hongbin walked out of the gate with Zhang Cai's mother Zhu Cunyuan.

Silently came to him, touched his little head and said, "Child, welcome home!" ”

At that moment, Zhang Cai felt that he really couldn't control his tears...... After a long time, he replied: "I'm back!" ”
