Chapter 66: Parting

When the He family was the weakest, it was actually to go to Tianzhu, and when they had not yet gained a firm foothold, once they gained a firm foothold, Daming was thousands of miles away from Tianzhu, and Daming's ability to project troops was also limited.

So He Xi only needs a few years, and a few years is enough for him to lay a foundation in Tianzhu. Let Daming no matter who it is, he will be jealous.

All He Xi needs is a buffer of about five years.

Of course, more time would be fine.

This is also the reason why Huang Zicheng dared to say this.

Huang Zicheng said, "You don't have to believe me. What you should believe in is the overall situation of the world. No one wants the overall situation of the world to collapse. Including me. For the sake of adults, adults naturally don't have to believe it, and I don't believe it myself. But the world can no longer afford a big mess. If the adults don't go, I naturally have to fight with the adults. However, now that the adults are leaving, I naturally have to use my life to protect the overall situation in this world. There can't be any more chaos."

He Xi looked at Huang Zicheng and smiled lightly.

He Xi said: "The old body is not good, the Congress in a few months will be run by you."

Huang Zicheng was stunned for a moment and said, "My subordinates receive orders."

--------

Second Congress. It's much more formal than Dingguo.

The whole process is also very formal. The King of Shu has officially become one of the undertakers of the Congress, and even has become a practice in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Congress must have a clan to undertake.

He Xi was absent from Congress.

But He Xi's influence is unlikely to be absent from Congress.

In the first half of the ninth year of Longwu's Congress, almost all of them sang praises to He Xi.

First of all, from the seventh year of Longwu to the present, there has been no war with the outside world. All parts of the South Seas have also settled down. I have eaten the dividends of Nanyang, South Asia, and changing the law.

Longwu's eight-year income has created a peak. It reached 500 million yuan.

Among them, 50 million yuan is given in the field, 100 million yuan in tariffs, 100 million yuan in revenue from state-owned enterprises, and the rest are commercial taxes. All kinds of business tax, stamp duty, and other taxes and so on.

This is about ten times the annual income of the Hongwu period, even if the currency depreciation is counted, there is a gap in purchasing power between the current one yuan and one tael in the Hongwu period.

After He Xi's tenure, he also succeeded in bringing down the national debt. The number of national debts has changed from more than 2 billion to more than 1 billion.

Although, the amount of other public bonds is much higher. For example, railway bonds. In terms of numbers, it exceeds the national debt. But this is not the same thing, because it is secured by the right to operate the railway.

The railway has become one of the most profitable industries in the Ming Dynasty, and the real completion of the east-west artery is only from Yingkou to Lanzhou. The route from Lanzhou to the Hexi Corridor is still under arduous construction, and the South Beijing Railway is also completed in phases, and it is expected to be completely successful. There is still some time.

But in general, any completed railway can bring in a lot of income. So how much money is invested in the railway, someone pays.

Naturally, some people bought the railway bonds.

And He Xi issued money on a large scale. Although it still maintains the exchange of one dollar for one or two silver dollars. But it's hard to maintain. A lot of money always has to go out.

And most of them can't see this kind of hard work, but they just feel that the economy has developed rapidly in recent years.

Don't say anything else. It is more than a dozen silver coins a year for ordinary workers in Beijing. Now it's quadrupled.

It can be said that the flowers are brocade and the fire is boiling.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty expanded its territory for thousands of miles. Now, with the addition of the area of the subject country, Mongolia is no longer allowed to be predominantly beautiful. Even more powerful than the Mongol Empire.

After all, after Kublai Khan, the Mongol Empire was already substantially divided. The biggest impact on Kublai Khan was not the Southern Song Dynasty. Rather, it is the other ministries of Mongolia.

And there is a game between the center of the Ming Dynasty and the local vassal kings. But it is still operating within a system.

The entire Congress has become a special meeting to sing the praises of Ho Xi.

It was even sealed for He Xi.

British Duke of the Ming Dynasty. Posthumously He Xi doesn't know whether he is alive or dead

The parents who went were the kings of Zhu County. Upper Pillar and so on. Seal the land of thousands of miles. Immediately led a series of generals headed by Ye Shen.

have been sealed in Tianzhu, He Xi's subordinates. Let them obey the night.

It is also a mobilized army that has been formed into three armies. With the addition of various sailors, there are a total of 100,000 people. Always ready to go. Go to Tianzhu.

The entire Ho Xi's inauguration was actually a new war.

The total cost is more than 15 million yuan. Of course, there is also a family property that is invested in the evening. There are also the private property of the subordinate generals. Combined, the two are about more than 30 million yuan.

He Xi exited, and this big drama was carried out under the expectations of almost everyone.

But in the second half, it didn't matter at all.

It was Huang Zicheng who appeared.

Huang Zicheng was appointed by Zhu Xiongying as the new first assistant. Yang Shiqi is the second assistant. Xie Jin is three auxiliaries. The arrival of Huang Zicheng did not carry out large-scale adjustments to the Shangshu of the various ministries of the imperial court.

After all, these people are acquaintances to Huang Zicheng.

Although Huang Zicheng has not adjusted the personnel, the de facto split has already begun.

Under Huang Zicheng's methods, the Ming court has been divided into the Huang faction and the Yang faction. The two of them respectively devoured He Xi's influence in the imperial court.

And most of He Xi's descendants in the army followed He Xi.

You can't go if you don't go.

All generals in high positions understand very well. What happens if you stay?

Maybe it won't be bad, but in this life, it has nothing to do with key positions and key battlefields. That is, their current status is their peak, and they will be just rich idlers in the future.

Middle- and lower-class generals, maybe nothing. They are too far from the people above.

No matter whose label it is, it's not so rich. Therefore, it is easy to be accepted by the new dignitaries.

Of course, the people who follow He Xi. And some others. than Zhang Zongde. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided to leave with He Xi. On the one hand, He Xi's identity label on him is too strong.

On the other hand, it is the only time that the entire Ming Dynasty has a strong demand for scientific and technological research and science.

It's not that people in the world don't know that science and technological development is a good thing. After all, the golden combination of the steam engine and the railway has given the world a great shock.

But, so what?

It's too hard to develop technology.

The development of scientific theories can be air-to-air. However, the development of science and technology is different, and the development of all science and technology is based on materials science. Without the development of materials science, many things would not have been possible.

The development of materials science may have many new theories and new methods in the future.

What electron microscopy, metallographic analysis or something. Statistical analysis of data. Wait a minute.

But in this day and age, there is only one experiment that can be done again and again.

Being able to manufacture the materials needed for a steam engine is already a miracle of development under the accumulation of so many years of metal processing experience in the Ming Dynasty. But the steam engine has not been able to operate stably. It is not possible to raise the number of revolutions.

And how much is the R&D cost? No one knows.

It takes money to open an iron furnace. No one knows how many furnaces can be opened to make qualified materials.

This cost? Who wants to take it?

When He Xi was there, no one could fight his will.

But He Xi is gone. When applying for funding, there are all kinds of problems.

Even if He Xi has already proposed a patent law.

Protection of inventors of patented technologies.

But in reality, the flow is empty talk. Most of the powerful don't know how many ways to get around these laws.

They prefer technologies that have already been implemented, technologies that can help them make money. Rather than technical difficulties that need to be solved.

In the face of the most cutting-edge scientific and technological research and development, Zhang Zongde decided to leave Daming and follow He Xi.

Ge Tiangong stayed.

Ge Tiangong changed to engineering technology, but he had a great advantage. The Yellow River Railway Bridge, the Yangtze River Railway Bridge, and large and small bridges all count on Ge Tiangong to preside.

In addition to these big projects, there are other projects. All need Ge Tiangong to do it.

Although Ge Tiangong seems to have many problems in the research and development of new technologies. However, in the integration of mature technology, the construction of large projects, but very means.

Zhu Xiongying personally retained it, and He Xi couldn't resist it. I had to let it go.

He Xi left Daming one after another, and it lasted for a while. When the north wind rose, He Xi and his family went to sea with the first batch of personnel.

This time, the person who presided over it was not He Xi.

It's He Yuansi.

He Yuansi is no longer the original He Yuansi.

For his own hobbies, he has gone to sea several times in recent years. It's also experienced. This time, He Xi mobilized elite soldiers and strong generals to assist He Yuansi.

Having such a voyage experience has greatly improved He Yuansi's future development.

It's just that He Xi and Princess Anqing sat on the boat, looking at the distant land.

Princess Anqing said, "We won't be able to come back from now on."

He Xi said, "Not bad."

Princess Anqing was silent for a while, and said, "I'm sorry for you. Without me, you probably wouldn't have had to make that choice."

He Xi said, "Don't worry, I won't be just for you. You don't have to worry, though. I've already chosen a place to stay in Tianzhu."

Princess Anqing said, "Where is it?"

He Xi said, "Lion Country."

The Lion Nation is Sri Lanka.

It is also He Xi's ultimate goal, which is naturally to conquer Tianzhu, but the plan has also changed a little.

This change is that Timur has actually arrived in Tianzhu, and He Xi knows that King Yan will never let him go. If He Xi wants Tianzhu, he has to compete with King Yan.

King Yan is not an ordinary person. He Xi vs. King Yan, although He Xi didn't want to fight, but he also wanted to hinder him, King Yan also had the heart to annex Tianzhu. He Xi naturally wanted to ensure that his position was stable.

For example, occupy the Lion Country, looking at the Indian subcontinent in the distance.

It can be regarded as invincible.

It's just that He Xi really doesn't want to worry about these things, anyway, Ye Shen and the others are coming. These things are left to them. He Xi has more important things to do.

"This is the end of this book.

In the future, there will be a few extras, and He Xi will put an end to overseas affairs.

The book was too poor. I'm going to shut myself up. It will take about a month or two to repair. Reflect, put my heart under the sun, and bask in the sun. Find more new ideas.

How should history be written?"
