When Xiao Ming went to Quanzhou to wait for the Guangzhou captive ship, he went to Shaowu via the northwest, and went to the tomb of Li Gang, Li Gang was a native of Shaowu in Fujian, after the death of illness in Hangzhou, the coffin was transported back to his hometown by his family, Xiao Ming wanted to go to Li Gang's tomb to pay his respects, after all, Li Gang was also a person he once respected very much.

Shao Wu belongs to Fujian Minhou, and Li Gang's tomb is located in a green mountain surrounded by the mountain, there is a stone tablet workshop on the front of the tomb, the book "Ancient Society Jichen", there is a stone pillar in front of the tomb, the top is decorated with a lotus, and there are sheep, tigers, with the end, stone horses, Wenchen, military generals. Wenchen wears a high crown, wears court clothes, and holds a wat in both hands, serious and respectful, with a strong sense of sculpture; The military commander wears a helmet, armor, and a sword in both hands, and is mighty and pious. The stone beast is serious and emotional.

Li Gang's tomb is placed in front of the people's family put flowers and fruits, the whole atmosphere is solemn and mournful, after Li Gang's death, the imperial court chased the overflow "Zhongdinghou" is buried in accordance with the rules of the marquis, Li Gang has been up and down in the sea all his life, and his character is high, and it is a comfort to be able to bury his bones in such a place with excellent scenery after death.

There is a stone tablet on the left side in front of the tomb, the largest one is engraved with Li Gang's life, and the other stone tablet is a pair of words written by Su Hanchen, a famous painter who is a scholar of Fuwen Pavilion, and Li Gang obtained a poem during his lifetime: Nian Nujiao (Han Wu Xunshuo Fang)

Maoling cyclamen, it is true, heaven and eloquent strategy. Hunt the sky and gallop to defend Huo, such as making the eagle and the bird drive the finch to fight Gaolan, plough the dragon moraine, and drink to the lord. China's Xinjiang is prosperous, and Yidi is weakened.

Recalling the parade that day, 100,000 cavalry, across the border. The pro-president Pixiu talked and laughed, and the captives were frightened. Message Shan Yu, the two gentlemen meet, why flee the desert. The heroic style is like this, and it is outstanding through the ages.

This poem is Li Gang's expression of the strong martial arts of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it is also his ambition to dream of hoping that the martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty will rise to recover the lost territory and establish the great cause of the Han Dynasty, but unfortunately now it can only be a last wish!

Xiao Ming hung in front of Li Gang's tomb for a while, and sighed in his heart, now that Gaozong Dynasty is a traitor in charge, Zhao Gou doesn't know the current form, thinking that he is loyal to his ears, and he just wants to be a Taiping emperor, but he doesn't dare to forge ahead in the face of the forces of the remnants of gold, and even kills the famous generals who resist Jin, what is the use of such an emperor having that supreme power?

After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Ming decided to return to the dynasty to seize the government, this idea has been around for a long time, when he was named the Taishi by Gaozong, although he was also a military and state affairs, but all the power was still in the hands of Zhao Gou, and at that time he did not have much mind to put on the government, but was busy building a private army, and at the same time establishing a royal guard for the Great Song Dynasty.

Although it was the power of the militaristic affairs, he did not make any effective political achievements, and he did limited to the economy and people's livelihood of the Great Song Dynasty at that time and the recovery of production after the war, so he chose to resign and let Li Gang come to govern instead.

But then again, Xiao Ming is still a little self-aware, he is really not good at such things as administration and people's livelihood, it is not as attractive to him as the construction of the First Royal Bank of the Great Song Dynasty, if it is Wu Yong or Xiao Gan and others under him, it will be completely different, but now it is different, if the Great Song Dynasty continues like this, once the Jin Kingdom recovers, the consequences will be unimaginable.

If we do not go back and take sole power, there will inevitably be a deviation in the direction of China's progress in the future, and this kind of thing absolutely cannot happen. Xiao Ming boasted of his current strength, holding the world's most advanced army and navy, mastering the latest scientific and technological foundation, and having an excellent reputation in the country, while the middle and lower-level officers of the Great Song Dynasty Imperial Guard were all promoted by himself, and his wealth rivaled the country, which was the basis for him to grasp the political power.

Now Xiao Ming is no longer willing to worry about it, as a modern person, he has been in this ancient world for thirteen years, from a young hairy boy, gradually grown into a mature and stable middle-aged man! Since I live in the present, I am no longer willing to let China continue to develop according to the real trajectory of history.

He wants to change, he wants to take power, he wants to change everything that may not be possible to change, since God has let him travel to this era, then don't live up to God's arrangement, he wants to make the whole of China the strongest nation and the strongest country on this earth ahead of any race!

Xiao Ming's return to Hangzhou was not publicized beforehand, and he arrived in Hangzhou with thirty chieftains of Nanyang princely states and kings of the kingdom, who basically came to China for the first time in their lives, and the scenery and bustle of the Celestial Empire deeply attracted these nobles who had been in the monstrosity zone for a long time.

Everything was so dazzling, these people had a strong interest in everything, and Hangzhou had become the largest city in the world at that time, and thanks to the arrival of Emperor Gaozong, his population had exceeded five million! The urban area has also expanded to areas in Lin'an County and Qiantang County.

And Hangzhou was also China's largest industrial and technological base at that time, all kinds of factories were dotted, a large number of things were produced every day, and then transported to various places by ship and train, the people's life was very rich, the market was full of goods, and many strange overseas products were also put on the shelves!

Everything is so novel, everything is so shocking, the chiefs and kings really can't imagine that this world can be like this, the Great Song Dynasty is so powerful!

If you don't come to China, I'm afraid that in this life, I think that all the people in the world are caught in the bamboo village, and only I live in a palace built of bricks and stones, and now I know that the ordinary people of the Great Song Dynasty have already lived in a big courtyard with white walls and black tiles!

Although the number of this team is small, it is very pompous, Xiao Ming arranged nearly a hundred tiger guards for them, saying that they are guards, but in fact they are still imprisoned, but they are just given a higher degree of freedom! In fact, Xiao Ming doesn't need to carry out such surveillance at all, and now let them escape, they won't run, who really refuses heaven?

These people eat well and play well in Hangzhou, and they are all over the scenery and streets, the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, the majesty of the Qiantang tide, and the prosperity outside the Yongjin Gate...... Everywhere makes these people linger, many people hate why they were not born in the Great Song Dynasty of China, but born in the land of the monesticized South Seas, there can be such a good place in the world, it is simply not the right time!

A few days later, Xiao Ming set off for Kangjing, these people also followed, Xiao Ming took the train to Kangjing this time, the railway from Hangzhou to Jinling has already been built, and now it has become the most profitable section of the railway on the Liangzhejiang Road, and every year the emperor Zhao Gou's inner government dividends are no less than 100,000 gold coins!

The people who supported the purchase of railway bonds in the first place have all made a fortune! Looking at the wealth of Jiangnan in the past, although it was prosperous, there was never such a way for people to see the light of gold and silver as today, and in many places in the Great Song Dynasty today, railway bonds are still on sale, and Aiqili only needs to control it in Hangzhou!

The chiefs and kings, the first time they took the train, inevitably let out a lot of emotion and surprise, how unimaginable it is that such a steel beast-like machine can run in the field! If they hadn't seen a lot of things that surprised them and made them more strange when they were in Hangzhou, it is estimated that some people would have been scared to death when they saw the train!

After arriving in Kangjing, these people's eyeballs are not enough, is there such a beautiful city in the world? The current Jinling Kangjing is simply incomparable to the Nanjing of later generations, so a large number of stones are used as building materials, and the city is simply too beautiful!

Not only are the palaces and several squares and halls generally made of stone, reinforced concrete, but also a large number of flat glass, huge columns and horizontal timbers in the hands of Chinese craftsmen to achieve a perfect tacit fit, each building is a roof of traditional Chinese shingles, but there is also no lack of huge stone carving materials!

The construction of the imperial palace is actually adhering to the style of the Hangzhou Palace, except for the important places of the foundation, there are almost no walls, except for the high platforms that have been piled up, there are stone steps and white marble railings, and flowers and plants are everywhere and trees are luxuriant! During this period, birds and animals such as peacocks and sika deer are also raised!

Zhao Gou is really willing to pay for his imperial city! He almost copied the overall garden design of his father Song Huizong when he built Genyue, but because of the intervention of Xiao Ming's craftsmen, the style was more atmospheric than that extravagant and decadent! After hundreds of thousands of captive laborers worked hard for many years, the entire new capital was almost completely completed!

Such a beautiful new capital city not only made those chieftains and kings of Nanyang stunned and envious, but even Xiao Ming was stunned! Although the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty has become stronger and stronger in recent years, and the tax revenue business has become more and more abundant, it is also the people's fat and people's ointment! Zhao Gou actually used most of them here!

Xiao Ming naturally held back an evil fire in his heart! When he was in Hangzhou, Xiao Ming heard many people talk about the government, and most of them were sympathetic and angry about Yue Fei's killing, especially those people who were originally from the north, they now dream of being able to recover their northern homeland, but Yue Fei's killing almost shows that the emperor has no intention of recovering his homeland at all, but puts all his thoughts on enjoyment! Isn't this the face of the death of the monarch of the last days?

Xiao Ming first arranged for the chief and king of Nanyang to live in the post house, and then went to the pedestrian Sifu outside the Jinshui Bridge of the palace to find Xue Bingchang, he wanted to know more about the affairs of the court and the court, and there was no one else to find, fortunately, although Xue Bingchang was sophisticated, he still remembered the old feelings, and he would give himself a satisfactory answer in the future.

Xiao Ming's identity as a prince and the title of a marquis, but the carriage and horse he rode did not have a special private driver, which was the result of his wandering outside the court in the past few years, but the Tiger Guards he carried with him made people see at a glance who it was, so the lower-level officials and errands of the pedestrian division were actually given in vain, and they immediately guessed who it was, so they were respectful to Xiao Ming.

But Xue Bingchang is not in the official office, but in a newly bought mansion, which is just on the edge of the Qinhuai River, which is indeed a good place, Xue Bingchang has relied on Xiao Ming to make a lot of money in recent years, so he spent a lot of money to buy a very luxurious mansion for himself.

This house is very famous, it is the former residence of the prime minister Xie family in the Jin Dynasty for many years, most of the children and grandchildren paid for repairs, the white walls and black tiles are quite imposing, Xue Bingchang took a fancy to it at a glance, and now the descendants of the Xie family have long been gone, especially the red man Xue Bingchang next to the emperor is incomparable, and he sold the house to him in humiliation, Xue Bingchang is full of pride, and he is ordering his subordinates to decorate and clean up in the house! At this time, Xiao Ming came to the door.
