Chapter 171: Inspecting Guangxi
Chapter 171: Inspecting Guangxi
"Father, I want to go to Guangxi One!" In Wang Xiao's bedroom, Wang Yuze said to Wang Xiao who was on the bed. Wang Xiao, who is bewildered now, has a pale face and sunken eye sockets, which is completely no different from the kind of ** ten-year-old person. However, Wang Xiao's real age is only in her fifties! Why he ages so quickly has always been a mystery. However, the people of western Sichuan generally believe that Wang Xiao is due to excessive work, and in order to build western Sichuan strong and rich, Wang Xiao can be said to have exhausted his mental strength. This also made the people love him even more.
"To Guangxi? Is there anything else you can't worry about? Wang Xiao opened her eyes and said in a hoarse voice.
"Guangxi is newly incorporated into the rule of western Sichuan, and reforms have begun, but there have been a lot of upheavals of the old forces recently. Although the garrison has been suppressed, the atmosphere is still relatively tense. In addition, the railway from Guiyang to Yongning is under intense construction, and I also want to supervise it. The most important thing is the construction of military ports and shipyards. This will be related to the next development of our western Sichuan, and we can't be sloppy! Wang Yuze explained.
Wang Xiao nodded, agreed with Wang Yuze's statement, and then said, "Go ahead!" It's okay to go. However, go early and come back early. Menghan should be about to give birth, you, as a husband, should stay by her side when the time comes! ”
"Yes, father. I'll be back in time! Wang Yuze said.
"Father, you rest, I'm out!" Wang Yuze stayed in Wang Xiao's room for a while before leaving. The moment he walked out of the room, his eyes were a little wet. Wang Xiao's current situation is very unoptimistic, and I don't know how long she can last. He specifically asked Wang Xiao's full-time doctor yesterday. The doctor's answer was that Wang Xiao's health was already very bad, and it looked like the oil would run out in a month or two at most, and Wang Yuze should be mentally prepared. Thinking of this, Wang Yuze felt a little sad in his heart. Wang Xiao can be said to have devoted his life to him and to the entire western Sichuan. As Wang Xiao's son, he can only inherit this qiē and build a prosperous and powerful China, so as to fulfill Wang Xiao's wish.
Wang Xiao, who was lying on the bed, left the room with Wang Yuze, and then closed his eyes. How could he not know about his own body? He asked Wang Yuze to go and return early, on the one hand, although Xiong Menghan was about to give birth, on the other hand, he didn't know how long he would be able to last? He is also very worried about whether Wang Yuze will be able to fully control the situation in western Sichuan after his death. Although, in the past two years, Wang Yuze's performance has been very good, and he has won the support of most people. However, this is while he is still alive. If he's gone, I'm afraid everything will change. It is difficult to guarantee that those who have ambitions in their hearts will not take this opportunity to jump out and spoil the good situation in western Sichuan for their own interests.
After Wang Yuze came out of Wang Xiao's room, he did not go to the study, but went directly back to his small courtyard. Yuying is obedient and sensible, and she does not have the kind of brutal temper of the Manchu Dynasty at all, coupled with her deliberate flattery, she has completely won the approval of Wang Xiao's other three wives, and the family is now living happily, and Wang Yuze is also very happy about it. He has too many things to do, so naturally he doesn't have much energy to spend on his family. A stable backyard is undoubtedly what he hopes to be able to.
When Wang Yuze returned to the courtyard, the four ladies were all basking in the sun. Among them, Xiong Menghan was in the middle, and the other three ladies were surrounding her on either side. Xiong Menghan is now more than nine months pregnant, and is about to give birth, and has become a key protection object of the Patrol Embassy. In the courtyard, there are several maids, Wang Yuze's little maid Xiang'er also takes taking care of Xiong Menghan as a top priority, and she is busy every day without touching the ground, which makes Wang Yuze feel distressed. He was even thinking about whether to take in this little maid who had served him since he was a child, anyway, if he had already had four ladies. He still remembers that he had promised her. However, the shape of the house is not very good now, and he is not allowed to think about this.
"Young Master! What are you doing here? When Wang Yuze came, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the maid Xiang'er.
"Brother Yu Ze, shouldn't you be handling official business in the study now?" Xiong Menghan also asked in surprise. In the past, Wang Yuze would never come back, and they were all used to it.
"I have something to tell you. I'm going to Guangxi to inspect it, and I'll leave my home in your care. Especially Menghan, you have to pay attention to your body. Wang Yuze said.
"Brother Yu Ze, the eldest sister is about to give birth, how can you leave at this time?" The second lady Yang Shilan said with some displeasure.
"Shilan, let Brother Yu Ze go! Brother Yu Ze has something to do! Xiong Menghan said. However, there were already tears rolling in her eyes. For a woman, giving birth for the first time is a little scary, and at this time, she naturally hopes that her husband can stay by her side. But she knows that Wang Yuze is not only her husband, but also the young marshal of western Sichuan, the marshal of the posterior, and has a lot of heavy responsibilities. And those of them who are wives can't drag Wang Yuze back in these aspects.
"Don't worry, Menghan. I'll be back in half a month at most. I will definitely be by your side when you give birth! Wang Yuze took Xiong Menghan's hand and said. Although, these wives, before they got married, they did not have the slightest emotional foundation. However, I have to say that among the few that Wang Xiao chose for him, all of them are good girls. After marriage, life is still less gathering and more separation, but even so, Wang Yuze still cultivated a good relationship with his wives. Wang Yuze also knew that he gave his wives too little time. However, now that the affairs of West Sichuan are busy, he has no choice. After defeating the Manchus and unifying the whole country, when the time comes, the government affairs will be handed over to the cabinet, and he will only be responsible for major affairs, so that it will be much easier and more time to spend with his wife and children.
"Hmm!" Xiong Menghan nodded, after getting Wang Yuze's assurance, she felt much better in her heart.
After having lunch with his wives, Wang Yuze packed up a few clothes, took his adjutant Wang Wei and a few Jing guards, left the inspection embassy, and went straight to Guangxi. Although, on the surface, he only brought a few Jing guards, but secretly, there were at least dozens of Jing guards sent by the guards of the Patrol Embassy, all of whom surrounded Wang Yuze, and once there was a situation, it could improve the protection of Wang Yuze. In addition, in the past two years, the internal affairs departments in western Sichuan have also stepped up efforts to clean up spies from various countries lurking in western Sichuan. Even if all the spies were not fully dug up, the results were very good. The few remaining people have also entered the incubation period and dare not come forward again.
Wang Yuze and the others went to Guangxi this time and did not ride horses. Instead, they got on the train like ordinary people, because they were all dressed in civilian clothes and didn't pay attention. The railway from Guiyang to Yongning, in fact, the section from Guiyang to Duyun has been opened to traffic, which is a section of the railway that western Sichuan began to repair after taking Yunnan and Guizhou, in order to expand to Guangxi in order to find an outlet to the sea for western Sichuan. Now to build the railway to Guangxi, you only need to build a small station called Mawei in the south of Duyun and then to the south.
The current train, because of technical reasons, the shock-absorbing facilities and the like are not very in place, and it feels rickety and not very comfortable to sit on it. But for a soldier like Wang Yuze, it's not a big deal. Last year, he led his army to travel thousands of miles, and drove straight into the Linjing Division, which was much more difficult than this. Didn't they all stick to it? Not to mention this little problem.
Wang Yuze sat in the middle of the carriage, a window position, next to Wang Wei. A few guards are in the carriage and pay close attention to the situation in the carriage. Opposite Wang Yuze, there was a middle-aged man in a silk coat, who was dressed like a businessman. Next to him is his buddy.
"Woo!" With two whistles, the train rumbled. In Chengdu, there are three railway stations, namely the East Railway Station, the South Railway Station and the North Railway Station. Wang Yuze: The train they took departed from the East Railway Station. It's August, and there aren't a lot of people on the train, so it doesn't seem crowded. Because the weather was too hot, the windows were wide open, and the wind outside the window blew into the car, taking away the stuffiness.
"Boss, why do we want to go so far away in Guangxi? Isn't it good to stay in Chengdu? The guy sitting opposite Wang Yuze was probably going out for the first time, and he seemed a little reluctant.
"Little bunny, you know what a fart! Guangxi has just come under the rule of western Sichuan, where it is waiting to be developed. Boss, if I get in first, there will definitely be a lot of opportunities! The middle-aged boss said triumphantly.
"Boss, I've heard that that place in Guangxi is poor to death, and the people are relatively strong? What can be made of it? The guy said.
"You don't know that, do you? In that place in Guangxi, it seems that the poor are dying, but in fact there are many resources. There is a sè metal in that place, and there are large reserves. However, this aspect is mined by zhèngfu order, and we have no choice. But the sugar production in Guangxi is very abundant. Moreover, the price is much lower than that of Chengdu. The labor there is also cheap, and if the boss opens a sugar processing factory over there, it won't be a lot of money! "The middle-aged boss is very proud.
Guangxi has just come under the rule of western Sichuan, but many merchants in western Sichuan are already eagerly waiting to enter this unexplored virgin land.
