Chapter 776: Little Boy Bronze Statue
After meeting with the four giants of the Tatar and Song dynasties, and making a strategic deployment for the future development of the Tatar and Song dynasties, as well as the internal industrial division of labor in the tribute circle of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Fugui appointed three special envoys to take the canned pig's feet from Hanzhong to various parts of the Tatar and Song dynasties for on-the-spot inspections and condolences.
For his part, he continued to conduct field visits at the grassroots level near Gwadar.
In order to test a long-standing conjecture, and to show his pro-people and brave demeanor, Zhu Fugui boldly tried clean and hygienic delicacies such as hand-kneaded peanuts, hand-broken aloe vera juice, and death masala on the streets of India.
The final test results showed that Zhu Fugui did not have any symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting.
Even the fried crispy ball in one of them bought an extra one for Bai Xia'er, who was eager to try.
Bai Xia'er also ate very happily.
On the contrary, Yin Qiyin, who personally tested the poison for His Majesty Zhu Fugui, almost pulled out of the tank.
This wiped out the cold and mysterious image he had always maintained.
Sydney took care of him for several days, and when she saw Zhu Fugui, she would roll her eyes in protest.
In this regard, Zhu Fugui could only smile with embarrassment but politeness.
Through this experiment, Zhu Fugui basically determined that he may not be as strong as Lao Li, who can swallow puffer fish raw, but his physique is indeed better than ordinary people.
Presumably, it should not be a problem to work for Daming for another 50 years.
The reason why Zhu Fugui only wandered around the Gwadar port and did not plan to run inland to Tatar Song was mainly due to safety considerations.
The capital of the Tatar was located in the western Indian state of Rajasthan, near Jaisalmer in Pakistan.
It is an ancient city with a history of seven hundred years.
It is located between the mountains, guarding the main traffic routes, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and very dangerous.
The Tatar Song named it Yong'an.
Yongan is a name with a very beautiful meaning in the Chinese context, and there are place names or business names named after Yongan in China, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam.
And the Tatar Song Dynasty took Yong'an as the name of their capital, and there were also such considerations.
This is also to pay tribute to the temporary capital of the Southern Song Dynasty Emperor - Lin'an.
The so-called Lin'an, there is more or less temporary residence, in order to enter the significance of Luo's revival.
And Yong'an, this means that being content here, not thinking about the homeland.
Of course, it's not that if you say Yong'an, you really want Yong'an.
In history, Taoguang kept his head in obscurity, accumulated strength, and then secretly Chen Cang, and suddenly made trouble, and there are countless things.
Zhu Fugui didn't think that there was no one dreaming up and down the Song Dynasty, and wanted to return to Sijiu City and restore "my Great Qing Dynasty".
However, all schemes must speak by strength after all.
It's the end of 1875.
Driven by the Daming catfish effect, the development of science and technology in all countries in the world today is at least equivalent to about 1890 in history.
In 1890, another 15 years later, Einstein's paper "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies", the parent of the special theory of relativity, was to be published.
In another 25 years, the full form of his gravitational equations of general relativity will be published.
According to this trend, the world will enter the nuclear age by 1930 at the latest, 15 years ahead of schedule.
It is often said that there was no revolution in the era of breech guns, and this sentence may be a bit one-sided.
But in the nuclear age, it is certain that a small country will never be able to defeat and annex a large country through war, or at least not without the support of other great powers.
By the middle and late stages of the Cold War, and in the 21st century, human technology has advanced into the sky, and wars of small countries, such as the Syrian civil war, the Azerbaijani and Armenian wars, have become different from the possibility of full-scale wars at the level of major powers.
Therefore, Zhu Fugui was not worried at all that the Tatar Song Dynasty would be able to maintain his glory and one day cross the Himalayas again and enter the Central Plains.
Besides, in the context of the Tatarization of India and the immortalization of the Tatar Song Dynasty, it is impossible for them to Tao if they want to.
As strong as an old immortal, he has been raising hopes for decades, using Hinduism to control the grassroots, using a large country in the East as an imaginary enemy to unite and divert domestic contradictions, and taking the opportunity to try to promote India's industrialization, but finally failed in the first step of agricultural reform.
If Tatar Song can handle this, Zhu Fugui still respects them as a man.
In short, based on the month-long investigation of the Tatar Song Dynasty, Zhu Fugui initially came to the conclusion that this was a hopeless land and a group of hopeless slaves.
Although in the economic estimation of 1875 in the thirteenth year of Dewu, the Tatar Song Dynasty ranked first in the Ming Dynasty tributary circle with a growth rate of GDP1750%, the Hanlin of the Hubu Economic Committee agreed that this phenomenon was unsustainable.
The slave trade and agricultural trade on which the Tatar Song depended were only low-value-added industries after all, and could not achieve breakthroughs at a higher level.
Zhu Fugui also agrees with this conclusion.
It is foreseeable that after the end of the war, the Ming Dynasty tributary circle will usher in a round of large-scale economic recovery and retaliatory growth.
At that time, the economic growth rate of the Tatar Song Dynasty would be quickly surpassed by that of the Southern Tang, Western Chu, Lahua, and even the Aztec and Maya confederations.
Of course, at that time, the biggest economic growth engine of the Ming Dynasty tribute circle would undoubtedly be the large-scale investment and construction of Shenzhou.
That will be a process of Yin Zhou feeding back to Shenzhou.
Although it has never been officially stated, in fact, in recent years, the Ming Dynasty has recruited immigrants from Shenzhou on a large scale to Yinzhou, and dumped industrial products from Yinzhou back to Shenzhou, which has a great impact on the inherent economic order of Shenzhou.
If it weren't for the welfare rice noodles and the quota of Zhu Fugui sausages, this would be a catastrophe full of suffering for the common people.
However, it is precisely because there is at least enough food to satisfy their stomachs that the people of Shenzhou, who have never left their hometowns, generally feel that after the return of the great tomorrow, life is like in a dream.
At least compared to the Great Qing Kingdom, which eats chaff and drinks thin, it is strong and boundless.
But if they can open their eyes to the world, they will know that their standard of living has been pulled down by their compatriots who have crossed the ocean to Yinzhou for at least half a century.
Taking advantage of the victory of the war and the prestige of the emperor and the imperial court to reach its peak, the Ming Dynasty will quickly promote the strategy of balanced development of both sides of the Pacific Ocean, otherwise once this opportunity is missed, it will be extremely difficult to push this matter until local interest groups are formed.
After staying in Tatar Song for a month, Zhu Fugui was ready to leave.
Before returning home, Zhu Fugui, his two wives, and Lao Eunuch Li participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the landmark of Gwadar Port Wharf.
It's a bronze statue of a bare-bottomed pooping little boy standing in front of the lighthouse on the pier.
However, unlike the peeing bronze statue in Brussels, the little boy in this statue has no finch.
With the addition of local specialties, the curry chowder will flow out of the little boy's buttocks, forming a beautiful fountain.
