What Hong Chengchou said was cloudy and foggy, Sun Chengzong became more and more worried when he heard it, no matter how he looked at Hong Chengchou, he didn't look like a good person, his words were weird, there was a smell of a cult bewitching fools and foolish women, and his actions were too shady, it was definitely not a good thing, and there was no sense of fairness.

Damn, I thought that leaving the capital was equivalent to getting out of the tiger's den, but I didn't expect it, this special thing is going into the wolf's den again, in this world, there is no place to live?

Turning his head to look at the guards surrounding him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had to bow his head under the eaves, it seems that if he is disobedient today, he will die, and he will have a chance to live, so bear with it for the time being, and see what kind of conspiracy and tricks this Hong Chengchou and Li Shantang are engaged in.

When he saw the big ship, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but be stunned, this, this is too big, isn't it the ship that Zheng He used to go to the West back then? Look at the sailors on this ship, where are the sailors, the division of troops is a sailor!

All the way across the sea, the first few days he was worried, and then he put down, on this sea, at a glance, dazed can not see the border, let him not escape, the son once said, since you can't resist, then you can only lie down and enjoy, live for decades, really haven't seen the sea like it, this time all should appreciate the scenery of the world.

After thinking about it like this, I opened my eyes along the way, the elves who followed the big ship and kept jumping out of the water, the big fish that was called a dolphin by the sailors, fierce and incomparable, the overlord shark in the sea, that is the real blood basin mouth, dense and sharp teeth, one bite down, the flesh and bones into mud, the legendary giant kun, the water column sprayed too much, and the huge body looked dizzy, one by one, it was indeed novel enough.

Sure enough, the world is big, there are no wonders, read thousands of books, it is better to travel thousands of miles, he never thought that the sea was so magnificent, look at this sea ship, it is said that there are more than twice as much as the special transport ship, if it is used to transport food, compared to Cao Yun, I don't know how much manpower and material resources to save, I have always heard that opening the sea is a maladministration, he has not seen it, so some people are cloudy, now it seems that this is a calf!

Half a month later, when he came to Fuzhou Mansion, Sun Chengzong was Zhenhai again, such a large port, not to mention unseen, even more unheard of, even more unheard of, even unthinkable!

How many big ships are there coming and going? Thousands of sails are competing, how many people and goods will be out in a day, I can't imagine it, this ...... Is it my Ming Dynasty's Fuzhou Mansion?

It's fake, right!?

"Of course this is not fake, this is my Ming Fujian, Ming Fuzhou Mansion!"

"I'm not forbidden to the sea? How can there be such a thriving harbor? It's the richest Jiangnan water town in the world, and you can't find this kind of place, right? ”

"Hahahaha, Lord Sun, in this world, I really can't find a more prosperous port than here, it's definitely not an exaggeration to say that the world is the first, don't say that you, adult, you, it's me, I haven't come back for four years, four years ago, although the scale was also large, but it was still inferior to today." As he spoke, Hong Chengchou pulled Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan, "Let's go, we can repair here for two days, and then take a look slowly, this Fuzhou Mansion is simply too much to see." ”

When I got off the boat, as soon as I entered the dock, I felt that I had come to another world, and the passers-by were in a hurry, but all of them were red and neatly dressed, and they couldn't even see the clothes with patches at a glance, which showed how rich the people in the city were.

This makes Sun Chengzong really unacceptable, that is, in the capital, the life of the people is good, but it is not the same as here!

"There are no poor people in this city? No beggars? Sun Chengzong gritted his teeth and asked in disbelief.

"Absolutely."

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise, he would feel that the three views collapsed, and now it is considered that the world is peaceful, although the life of the people of the Ming Dynasty is not very good, but the previous dynasties are also similar, which shows that the Manchu Dynasty is not incompetent, after all, he Sun Chengzong does not dare to say how much stronger than whom, if the people of Fuzhou are so rich, then he will feel that he is too incompetent.

Hong Chengchou raised his hand and pointed to the passers-by, and said with a little pride: "These are poor people!" ”

'Poof' 'cough cough cough' Sun Chengzong didn't come up in one breath, he kept coughing, these are poor people? Are you sure? I'm a Jinshi, you can't fool me!!

Even if he is asked to govern a land, he doesn't dare to say that he can make the people rich so much, let alone him, he has never heard of it in all dynasties!

Looking at Sun Chengzong's look of disbelief, Hong Chengchou laughed and did not defend himself.

The group continued to walk forward, walking and walking, Sun Chengzong suddenly stopped, stomped on the ground with his foot a few times, and immediately looked horrified, looked left and right, pulled Hong Chengchou and asked loudly: "What kind of stone is this, the entire dock is paved with this stone, so smooth, so fast, it's really a miracle." ”

It is the capital, the capital of the world, and it is not so clean and luxurious!

"This is a cement paving, the whole new city is like this, the road surface is smooth and smooth without potholes, I heard that Mr. Wuzhou has made great efforts to rebuild the official roads of the province, so that all roads are built like this!"

"What!?" couldn't believe it, and after thinking about it for a while, Sun Chengzong looked angry, "How much does that cost?" I'm afraid it's not enough to fill in the taxes for three years across the country, the people of Fujian are so exploited and forced to do labor, so there will be countless deaths and injuries? It's simply a policy to bring disaster to the country and the people, that road, it's good to walk, what's the use of just cultivating beautifully! ”

"Haha, hahaha." Looking at Sun Chengzong's appearance, Hong Chengchou wanted to laugh inexplicably, and suddenly a sense of superiority was born from his bones, and there was a trace of contempt in his eyes, and he looked at Yuan Chonghuan, who was following behind him with his mouth open, patronizing with a shocked face, and couldn't say a word, Hong Chengchou said complacently: "It's too late for the people of Fujian to be happy, Lord Sun doesn't understand, you can't talk nonsense." ”

Sun Chengzong opened his mouth, knowing that he was a little too excited today and lost his words, but now, he could feel it himself, and the strange gazes of the people around him seemed to be looking at a dirt bun, which made him blush a little, so he quickly shut up and made himself look as little ashamed as possible.

He didn't go far before Sun Chengzong was stunned again, looking up at the towering building in the distance, with a very huge 'clock' on it!

This thing, he has only seen in the palace, it is said that it comes from the far west, it is a foreign tribute, it can be accurate time, it can be described as a treasure first-class, even in the entire capital, I heard that there can be clocks and watches are also noble families, last time a colleague in the prince's mansion got one, spent a thousand catties, and showed it well.

However, now I saw such a huge one, at least two miles away, I could see how big this clock was!

"This, this is the bell? How can it be so huge? Wouldn't anyone be able to see the whole process? ”

As he was talking, the time came to 11 o'clock at noon, and the bell suddenly rang, the sound was crisp, and the whole city could hear it, ringing eleven times in a row, which really opened Sun Chengzong's eyes.

This thing has not been built for too long, and Hong Chengchou doesn't know it, so he called a person passing by, "This little brother is invited, may I ask, this is a big clock, when was it built?" ”

"Haha." This person is not afraid of life, and said very boldly: "At first glance, you are outsiders, of course this is a big clock, Mr. Wuzhou said, to let the whole city can see the time, so he built such one, there has been more than half a year, hey, this thing is not good, the time is too accurate, why do you want to be lazy, it's difficult!" ”

As he spoke, he was proud with three points of disgust, and the people who watched it wanted to smoke him.

"This, how much does it cost, even if there is no one in the capital, it is useless to work the people and lose money!" Sun Chengzong looked sad, the country is poor, the government has no money, but this Fuzhou Mansion is so extravagant, I don't know what the poverty of other parts of Fujian looks like in order to support Fuzhou Mansion!

"Beijing? Cut! The man tilted his head to the side, raised his hand and shook it a few times, "It's really not that I look down on the people of the capital, it's true, I heard the businessmen who came and went said that over there, there are too poor people, not to mention our Fuzhou Mansion, it is the whole of Fujian, there is not even a beggar, as long as you have hands and feet, and are willing to work, there is no one who can't eat." ”

Looking at the disdainful look of people, if Wang Xuan was here, he would definitely say a word, who is pretending to be forced, so dazzling!

"No beggars? How can it be! "Sun Chengzong doesn't believe it in any case, whether it is a county, a province or even the whole country, the amount of wealth is limited, and if one place is rich, there will inevitably be other places to become poor, and this is to use one province to support one place.

This kind of concept has existed since ancient times, and the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military all thought like this, and this kind of thinking was deeply rooted in the era when economics had not yet been summed up.

"How is it impossible, I just don't have beggars in Fujian, and I am rich in Fujian." The man didn't know how to explain it, and he couldn't explain it, but he knew anyway.

"Ignorance!" Sun Chengzong snorted disdainfully.

"You, you, you ......" this road is anxious, but I don't know how to refute, I only hate that I didn't read more books before, but I don't go to school after I know how to read, really, I hate less when the book is used, "You just don't know, Tubaozi, have you seen these, have you seen that building, I hate you rotten Confucianism the most, I don't understand anything, I can only throw two sentences of sour poetry, and I am useless to be a scholar!" ”

After speaking, this passer-by left directly, not looking at Sun Chengzong's iron-clad face at all, he saw that this group of people was not small, but so what, this is a new city, who dares to fight, I'm afraid I haven't seen a cement pier!

Sun Chengzong's anger was like thunder, he grew so big, and he was ridiculed by the flat-headed people for the first time, there is simply no royal law, he is bold, and he doesn't know what it means to be inferior and inferior!

"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Hong Chengchou saw the quarrel, and hurriedly reassured Sun Chengzong, "Seeing is believing and hearing is false, but ......"

Seeing that Hong Chengchou was a little embarrassed to speak, Sun Chengzong frowned and said, "Lord Hong, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"But my family is from Quanzhou, Fujian, before it was really poor, in the past few years, read the letter that now Fujian is indeed rich, only work can not find people, there is no work to do, is my family's land, now the rent has dropped again and again, otherwise even tenants can not be found."

"This, how is this possible!" Sun Chengzong couldn't believe it, this Daming, there is still a time when he can't find tenants?

He didn't suspect that Hong Chengchou was lying to him, but this was not in line with common sense!

"You ask me, I don't know, I haven't been back for four years, Fujian has changed too much, this is all the credit of Mr. Wuzhou!"

"By the way, I've heard you mention this Mr. Wuzhou a few times, who is it?" Sun Chengzong was curious, as if these things were related to this person.

"Mr. Wuzhou, surnamed Wang Mingxuan, known as 'King of Fujian', we won't see it this time, but we can see it when we get to Guangdong."

The three words of the king of Fujian made Sun Chengzong instinctively a little resistant, he was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty who had mastered the Eight Classics, and he had never had a good impression of the rebellious ministers and thieves.

However, he opened his mouth and held back, feeling that he had not been very smooth since he came to Fuzhou, and he had been slapped in the face I don't know how many times, could it be that after leaving the capital, he was too relaxed?

I don't have the feeling of walking on thin ice when I was in the capital, and I'm a little floating!

Steady, don't wave!

The group also lost interest in talking, each had their own concerns, just walked out of the dock, they were stopped, it turned out to be Wang Xuan's house on the car, knowing that people arrived today, they came to receive and arrange.

Riding in this gorgeous carriage, Sun Chengzong realized that it was so smooth and fast, if it was used for ...... Quickly shook his head and put aside this thought, he felt that he was going crazy, just like this, I don't know how many thoughts have turned in his head.

Coming to Wang Xuan's mansion, looking at the tall wall like a city wall, Sun Chengzong pursed his lips slightly, arrogant, since ancient times, different statuses and statuses can have different heights of the walls of the mansion, anyway, Wang Xuan must have transgressed.

But after entering the door, he was a little confused, some were too ordinary, completely inconsistent with the luxury he imagined, and he felt that the whole mansion was not big, and it must be said that compared to the princes and nobles, it was a rich house on one side, and it would not be so small, right?

That's it, it's completely out of tune with the name of the king of Fujian and the high wall!

I can't understand it, I got off the boat automatically, he can't understand all this, what he is most anxious about now is to go out for a walk, to see all over Fujian, in the end, what is this Fujian like.

On weekdays, he is very calm, but today he doesn't know what's wrong, he just can't sit still.
