Chapter 374: Returning Home (Asking for Subscription)
The Palembang Wharf is not small, a wharf that can dock hundreds of sea ships in one go, covering an area of dozens of miles, and there is almost no edge visible at a glance.
But the Palembang Pier is not as dirty and messy as the ordinary harbor wharf.
The ground is all hard concrete, clean and tidy, without much dirt, and the body of the wharf is also clean, although it is inevitable to get dirt after doing the work, but there is no strange smell that is difficult to man's hand on the other wharf Lifu.
The most distinctive feature of Palembang Pier is the tall mixed animal and hydraulic tower cranes and the neatly arranged warehouse area not far away.
With the animal power and water power mixed tower crane, the goods on the sea ship can be easily loaded, as for the neat rows of warehouses on the wharf, it is composed of a solid wooden box, a single square wooden box, can be loaded with at least two thousand catties of rice and the same weight of goods, through the rail board car and tower crane, can easily be sent to the sea ship on the dock.
Moreover, the wharf has a variety of tools in his hands, which is quite convenient to help load goods, but the efficiency is more than several times that of other wharves.
The whole wharf is well organized and orderly, and it is obvious that the management method is very clever and effective, so that people can't help but have a good impression of Palembang Wharf.
The nobles who have just arrived at Palembang Pier also have a good impression of Palembang Pier in their hearts.
"Sure enough, it is worthy of the dock under the management of the first assistant of the cabinet, and the order is admirable!"
After seeing the situation of the dock clearly, under the protection of the guards, he went directly to the conspicuous dock management office to report his identity and seal, and at the same time put forward the idea of meeting the eldest master.
"Prince Zhongshun's people are here?"
The eldest lord soon received the news, and his face showed a playful look.
Prince Zhongshun was instigated by him and came to Nanyang more than ten years earlier than him.
According to the merchants, this person is also quite good in Luzon, and now occupies most of the islands, and I believe that it will not be long before he can completely occupy the island of Luzon.
Prince Zhongshun also built a new city on Luzon Island, and after so many years of Central Plains immigrants joining, the number of Central Plains people under his control is approaching 5 million, and the island of Luzon itself is rich in resources, and the development potential is quite huge.
It's just a pity that Prince Zhongshun's pattern is average, and he doesn't think about continuing to expand, but is dedicated to farming on his own territory, but I don't know what the situation is now.
The eldest lord received the messenger, an acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for nearly twenty years.
At first, the atmosphere was very rusty, but after talking for a while, the atmosphere became familiar, and the messenger went straight to the point, and the future was clear.
It turned out that Prince Zhongshun felt that his overseas foundation was stable, and his strength at hand was not weak, so he pondered going back to the Central Plains of Great Qi and asking the Emperor of Great Qi for a title.
Not only did Prince Zhongshun have such thoughts, but so did King Yizhongjun, who was also very prosperous in Mindanao, ruling 3 million people and supporting 100,000 soldiers, and it was time to 'return home'.
It's not impossible to go back, so let's go back!
The eldest lord didn't have much thought about this, Prince Zhongshun and King Yizhong were too heavy, obviously still lingering in their hearts, and they hadn't been able to let go of the matter of the throne falling into the hands of today.
The date of returning together was agreed, and the envoy left directly without staying long, and sure enough, the envoy of the king of Yizhong County also arrived soon after, saying the same thing about returning to Daqi to ask for a seal.
These two guys, the obsession is so deep!
"Father, do you want to go back to Daqi?"
When Jia Chung heard the news, he hurried back from outside, and asked directly after meeting.
"The two princes sent envoys to invite each other, and there is nothing wrong with going back and taking a look!"
The eldest lord chuckled lightly and said leisurely: "I'm not interested in any titles, but I can try to discuss with the imperial court, can we take the initiative to recruit poor people in the northwest!" ”
The number of people under his command is still too small, although the system formulated by the eldest lord has almost brought the role of nearly two million people under his rule to a limit, but compared to the large island with five or six provinces in the Central Plains, the number of people is too small.
Up to now, the territory that the eldest lord can really control is just a certain coastal edge of Kalimantan Island, and the combined area is only a few hundred square kilometers, which is really nothing.
It is important to know that according to modern accurate measurements, the area of the island of Kalimantan is more than 700,000 square kilometers, and most of the rest of the land is fertile plains, except for the central location of the mountains and forests.
Even if the productive forces have not developed to the level of industrial civilization, the living environment of the big island is really good, as long as the development can easily accommodate hundreds of millions of people.
"Really, that's great!"
Jia Song's face was full of joy and said with a smile: "If we can get a large number of poor people in the Central Plains, our tentacles can quickly extend to the island!" ”
Speaking of this, he said helplessly: "Those natives hiding in the mountains and forests are really annoying, and they come out from time to time to sneak attack our towns, the threat is not big but it is extremely disgusting!" ”
When he arrived in Kalimantan, the eldest lord was only responsible for the overall planning as the leader, and Jia Chung was the specific executor, and there were more than 10,000 people under one person.
Although there is endless work every day, Jia Chung enjoys it, which is much more comfortable than mixing in the officialdom of Daqi.
Don't worry about the hidden arrows of your colleagues, you don't have to care about the eyes and thoughts of others, and you don't need to worry about the taboos of some interest groups, as long as he has the ability, he can sway freely, splash ink on a blank piece of paper to paint, that kind of wanton publicity is simply not too cool.
Personally experiencing the old man's governance methods, Jia Song's hard work to learn has made great progress.
Everything in Kalimantan Island is very different from the Central Plains of Great Qi, but in his opinion, it is much more clever than the management methods of the Central Plains, at least in terms of the level of mobilizing people's power.
Moreover, the giant island will also be dominated by him in the future, and when the population of the island exceeds 10 million, according to the eldest lord, it is not impossible to call the king the system.
In the future, he and his descendants will have an astonishing wealth that will last for dozens of generations, and the beautiful vision of governing the people as the lord of an island has always made Jia Chung in a state of high spirits, full of energy and perfection in everything he does, and the feeling of working for others and building a home for himself is very different.
I originally thought that I would live a hard life when I went to sea with the eldest master, but I didn't expect that the hard days were only the uncomfortable days when I first came to the island, and I didn't taste any hardships after that.
The nearly 10,000 people who accompanied the ship, as well as the many guards and the millions of people who had already arrived on the island, were enough for their family to live a nourishing life that was not inferior to when they were in the capital.
……
The entire Great Qi Dynasty was a sensation, and the capital court was even more shocked.
The envoys of Prince Zhongshun and King Yizhong, who had disappeared for many years, led a full thirty warships and suddenly appeared in the sea off Tongzhou, and while sending a big gift to the imperial court, he strongly demanded that the imperial court give the two princes titles.
What they want is not a title for the dead, but a country name similar to the feudal state of Zong Zhou!
Only then did the courtiers know that Prince Zhongshun and King Yizhong did not die, but went overseas to expand their territory, which was really unacceptable.
Now that they have laid a foundation overseas, they sent envoys back to Daqi at this time, this is to show off to the present, their strength is strong enough and any title is a floating cloud.
Could it be that if they are not given titles now, their foundation in the open sea will fall apart?
What shocked the courtiers even more was that the two princes returned with the eldest lord who had disappeared for five years.
This time, the forces of the three parties, which had successfully established themselves in the open sea, jointly formed a fleet of 30 seagoing vessels to directly threaten the Beijing Division.
The courage of the three families is surprisingly great, which is for the face of the present and the court.
It's just that the imperial court is really helpless to take their sea ships and warships.
It is the strongest Guangdong naval division in the hands of the imperial court, although the scale is not small, most of them are only offshore warships, and they are not comparable to the ocean-going warships staying in the waters off Tongzhou.
Because of this powerful ocean-going warship, the atmosphere of martial law in the capital was tense, but the imperial court did not have a strong sailor in its hands to intercept it, so it could only watch the ocean-going warship fleet show off its power in the near sea.
Now he was furious but helpless, and the faces of the courtiers showed annoyance, but secretly they had some thoughts.
Not to mention the two emperors and nobles, Prince Zhongshun and King Yizhong, they are already strong and even have the possibility of winning the Ninety-Five, and the important ministers in the court cannot compare with them, but what about Jia Enhou?
He has only been the head of the cabinet for six or seven years, and he opened the current prosperity of Daqi, at this time, Daqi has completely entered the prime of life, and the power in the hands of the cabinet chief assistant after that, the resources that can be used are much greater than that of the old man.
At present, the big lord can establish a foundation in the open sea, whether he agrees with it or not, he is one of the overlords of the open sea, and he can claim the existence of the king system alone, the big lord can do this, and the cabinet boss can also do it, even better than the big man.
Not only did the cabinet make a new move, but the news spread, and even the governors of the provinces followed suit.
Anyone who has a lot of ambition in his heart, or who has no hope for the future future, wants to go to the open sea to fight, and maybe he can fight for a name.
In addition to the important ministers of the court and the local government, the most active ones are the people in the clan, who are eager to break away from the control of the Great Qi royal family and establish a foundation in the open sea.
Although their strength is not as strong as that of the original Prince Zhongshun and the King of Yizhongjun, they are also a rather weak force together.
If a single family cannot roam the open seas, it is the same as joining forces to occupy a territory and then establishing a vassal state according to the size of their power.
Even today's adult sons, some princes who feel that their strength is not enough to fight for the throne, also want to get a piece of the pie in the open sea, and be the master of their own house to do nourishment, so why shrink to the capital as a grandson?
