Chapter Eighty-Three: The New Capital Is Naming
Tang Sangui finally couldn't resist the temptation of "Daji's heart", and moved his wife and daughter to live in accordance with Zhu Fugui's request.
Only in this way can Zhu Fugui completely trust him and let him participate in more things.
This is not to blame Tang Sangui for being spineless.
"Daji's Heart" is too big!
This giant man-made ruby kills all known rubies in terms of size and purity.
And the legend that Zhu Fugui made up for it added a lot to it.
It is said that three thousand years ago, a demon named Daji Fox charmed the Son of Heaven and caused chaos.
At that time, there were virtuous ministers who had a delicate heart and could distinguish between loyalty and treachery.
He played the Son of Heaven and wanted to get rid of Daji.
The king said: "You are familiar with the heart of the concubine? ”
Bigan said: "My heart is beautiful! ”
The king of the Emperor Dayue ordered the two to compare their hearts.
Bigan self-dissecting his heart, the glory is magnificent, the seven tricks are exquisite, and it is really glamorous.
But who knows, the demon concubine Daji has already found the most beautiful gem in the world from Xuanyuan's tomb and refined it into her heart.
When she untied her clothes and revealed her heart, the red gem was like the most beautiful star in the world, and it eclipsed the heart of the Seven Senses.
Needless to say, the end of the story goes without saying.
In short, this legendary heart of Daji has also been passed down from generation to generation.
It is said that the current Qing puppet empress dowager Cixi can't let go of her love.
If it weren't for the West Hunt three years ago, such a treasure would not have been lost to the people.
……
Donald was convinced of the story told by Zhu Fugui.
Because of asking himself, Donald felt that if he were Cixi, he would definitely regard this gem as a treasure.
It's just that somehow, she didn't take it with her when she fled Beijing.
However, Donald is more inclined to speculate that Cixi and Emperor Xianfeng actually packed these treasures with them.
It's just that because of the urgency of time, the emperor traveled lightly.
The treasure baggage is transported separately.
The daring gang leader Zhu Fu is likely to lead the green-skinned bandits to rob the convoy and eventually take the treasure for himself.
What a fortune!
It's not that Donald didn't think of contacting external forces to rob Zhu Fugui in reverse.
But he wasn't sure.
In Donald's cognition, Zhu Fugui is young but old and spicy like a fox, bold but cautious as a rabbit.
Once you miss, the consequences are not something you can bear.
What's more, even if you contact the militia or the federal government's army.
How much benefit can those greedy and coarse guys give themselves?
On the contrary, Zhu Fugui, who has always been generous, gave himself the "heart of Daji"!
Of course, the premise is that his wife and daughter have also become hostages.
But that's what it should be.
After all, the most famous ruby "Edwards" of that era cost as much as 200,000 US dollars (about 50 million yuan)!
Edwards weighs just 167 carats.
And Zhu Fugui's ancestral gem weighs a terrifying 282 carats!
God knows how much it's worth!
Such a value is enough for Donald to weigh everything, the life of Stud himself and future generations.
Of course, what Donald didn't know was that there was a sack in Zhu Fugui's special warehouse.
The bag also contains "the heart of praise", "the heart of Xi Shi", "the heart of Diao Chan", "the heart of Yuhuan", "the heart of Yuanyuan", and "the heart of Meiling......
The reason why he bothered so much to completely control Tang Sangui was also Zhu Fugui's helpless move.
It was undoubtedly difficult to counterattack this copy of the North American continent in the second half of the nineteenth century.
Just like in the early days of reform, it was impossible to develop the country without absorbing foreign capital and foreign technology.
For example, for the small bullet production line, Zhu Fugui must use Donald to negotiate the purchase.
For example, in business with the British and the Southern Army, Donald was also needed as an intermediary.
So Zhu Fugui reluctantly gave the gem that he had bought for hundreds to Donald.
Anyway, there is no such thing as artificial gemstones in this era, and no one has thought of such a thing at all, and the process is too difficult.
What's more, Zhu Fugui also bet that Donald only dared to teach himself to identify this gem, but did not dare to find someone to identify it.
He's looking for someone to identify it today, and he'll probably be hanged from the ceiling tomorrow.
……
With the arrival of Donald's wife and daughter, Zhu Fugui partly involved him in the construction of the new capital.
Because this fat man is still a college student, studying engineering.
That's one of the reasons why he's been sent to manage the mines, feeling like a technocrat.
Zhu Fugui also did not plan to let Donald touch the core of the construction of the new capital.
After all, many machines let him see for fear of scaring him.
Donald is not as easy to fool as the Chinese workers and the Yin people.
Although sooner or later he will know, Zhu Fugui is still ready to let Donald get out of the way before large machinery (not so large, just some tractors, small cranes or something) enter the market.
But now Zhu Fugui needs his professional advice.
Comrade Sangui also did not live up to the expectations of the Ming Emperor and quickly gave several important suggestions.
For example, if the river beach is not reinforced enough, it is likely to cause the houses to sink or even collapse.
This is something that Zhu Fugui did not expect.
In the past, Zhu Fugui built factories in the upper reaches of the Daming River, and all the factories he built were simple factories that did not need to lay deep foundations, and they were only two stories high at most.
Such a project does not require the hardness of the land, as long as it is leveled.
But this new capital can't be so hasty.
In New York and Chicago today, wood and stone are still the main materials for houses.
However, technically, the construction of houses made of reinforced concrete is already mature.
In the 1870s, as a fire in Chicago destroyed a large number of houses, cement houses sprung up.
And in the 1880s, 12-story "skyscrapers" already appeared.
Even the Yankees are about to quickly enter the era of skyscrapers, how can the new capital of the Ming Dynasty not be left behind, right?
Therefore, the new ones in Zhu Fugui's vision are very grand.
Of course, the first phase of the project started today will be relatively conservative, after all, there are few people and little experience.
However, the second and third phases of the future will definitely become larger and larger.
So Donald's opinion on reinforcing the river beach is invaluable.
However, his other suggestion made Zhu Fugui stunned.
Donald looked at the towering, almost vertical rock on one side and suggested:
"Oh, my dear Master Wan, you once said that the idea of 'President Mountain' is really exciting......"
"Look at this beautiful basalt, wouldn't it be very appropriate if we carved the heads of the founders of the four generations of the Ming Empire here? I think the beauty of your ancestors deserves to be admired by the world! ”
Donald felt that his sycophants were perfect.
The self-proclaimed emperor gang leader was obviously fond of boasting about his non-existent ancestors, and his suggestion was not greatly praised.
But what he didn't know was that Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang would forget it, Zhu Di and Zhu Yousong's heads, Zhu Fugui would never be able to carve them.
Especially Zhu Yousong, that pig's head is too labor-intensive!
And build a village under these four big heads......
I feel a sense of familiarity.
"Hooray!"
At this time, the old eunuch Li, who had been holding the compass and chattering, suddenly spoke, "The old slave has carefully calculated, this place is hot and hot, I am a fire virtue, this is a sign of great prosperity!" Why don't you name this place the Fire City or the Fire Capital? ”
"No way!"
Zhu Fugui almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, "I am a dignified tomorrow, how can I be a village chief!" And none of them have a good death! ”
"This place is called Xinfeng, take the meaning of Xinfengyang, and fight a ring with the Xinxiang of Citigroup, I have made up my mind, no matter whether the grass is sloppy or not, just drop it like this! I'm tired! ”
