Chapter 19 Reunion of husband and wife
At this time of five years, He Xi had thought about it repeatedly.
He knew very well that Liaodong's stall, its size, and its use of this method of distorting economic laws would be okay at first, but over time. That won’t work.
He knew there were too many loopholes in it.
And He Xi believes that not only he can see it, but many people can also see it. But as Zhu Yuanzhang said, Liaodong is a piece of blank paper. Even if it can be seen, so what? Just looking at it is of no use at all. No one took the initiative to fight against He Xi.
But as time goes by, it becomes different.
Five years later, He Xi hopes that the entire Liaodong industrial system will be self-sufficient. This system can be abolished.
but. How to abolish it. He Xi hasn't thought about it yet.
This is not a priority.
The top priority is still money, raw materials, external blood transfusions and orders. Thinking of this, He Xi couldn't help but think of the secret letter he sent to the south at the end of last year. He didn't know what the situation was now. How many people can Yang Zhen bring north?
Really talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
Just when He Xi was thinking about this, someone came to report that a fleet was coming from Shandong, and the flag was Princess Anqing.
For a moment, He Xi thought of his wife, whom he had not seen for several years, and all the bills in front of him seemed to disappear. He Xi hurried out immediately.
------
I want to meet He Xi. He Xi is not the only one.
Princess Anqing got up early this morning to dress up. It took more than an hour to dress up. If it weren't for docking. Princess Anqing can dress up for another hour and a half. Princess Anqing knows He Xi's aesthetics. He Xi's aesthetics are generally straight male aesthetics, and she thinks she looks good without makeup. Therefore, girls have to spend more time to achieve this bare-face effect.
He Xi thought it would be fine if it was simple. Don't try to impress the public, so Princess Anqing spent a lot of effort to dress up in a dress that looks simple at first glance, but is actually not simple at all.
Exhaust extremely high costs and pursue simplicity and ordinaryness. This is probably low-key luxury.
Princess Anqing heard that she had entered the Liaohe River. I couldn't sit still in the cabin. Coming to the bow of the ship, I looked at the outline of the town in the distance.
Princess Anqing took a quick look at it and felt that although it looked a little messy, it was still very prosperous. It is almost the same as the county town in the mainland.
This is the speed of Niuzhuang's development.
When He Xi first came here, Niuzhuang was a large land and water station. Except for the inn, there is nothing. Later, He Xi took a fancy to Niuzhuang's unique advantages and strengthened transportation and expanded the port. Therefore, Niuzhuang is more than just an inn. There are also some warehouses. These warehouses are also managed by postmasters.
Later, the Liaosong Canal was built.
The Liaohe River can now be connected to the Songhua River.
A large number of merchants went north from here, going deep into the Liaohe River and even into the Songhua River.
Niuzhuang's commercial status has been further strengthened.
Later, Korean immigrants came. The immigrants are now resettled here in Niuzhuang. Several villages were set up around Niuzhuang, some of which were far away from Niuzhuang. But Niuzhuang is also the largest place around here. As a result, these people also gathered in Niuzhuang. Niuzhuang has become a nearby commodity center.
The popularity is growing.
Now Hexi has decided to promote the industrialization of Liaodong. In terms of site selection, Niuzhuang and Shenyang were selected. Shenyang is heavy industry, while Niuzhuang is light industry. Heavy industry needs to be close to where raw materials are produced. The Shenyang Iron Works is close to the coal mines. Although the iron mines are some distance away, they are not much.
Enough.
Most of the light industry is for external sales. Naturally, there needs to be a place close to the sea for production. Once produced, it can be transported directly. Moreover, many raw materials are currently insufficient in Liaodong, such as the most important cotton. It is simply not enough and needs to be purchased from outside.
Light industry is placed in coastal ports. The most suitable.
Naturally, it was placed in Niuzhuang.
At present, Niuzhuang has textile factories, paper mills and printing factories. Even the future shipyard will have to put one here. There should also be one at the mouth of the Yalu River or in Lushun. There are also oil mills, this flour mill, and so on. In short, dozens of small factories, port equipment, etc. make up this small city.
Now there is still some disarray.
But it also shows the vitality of new production methods.
Princess Anqing is not interested in Niuzhuang. She was interested in people. Her eyes fell on the dock and she saw it immediately. The person she longed for day and night. He Xi had just gotten off his horse to greet her.
Princess Anqing hurriedly got off the boat from the trestle. Standing in front of He Xi.
The two looked at each other for a long time, but could not say a word. After a while, He Xi said: "You are here!"
Princess Anqing said: "I'm coming."
"Aren't you leaving?" He Xi asked.
Princess Anqing said: "I will stay with you as long as you stay here."
------
After all, the dock is not the place to talk. He Xi will arrange for the people below to do the handover. They are a couple. A little farewell is better than a newlywed, so naturally you have to tell your heart.
He Xi did not have a serious residence in Niuzhuang. He comes here all year round and lives in a small courtyard inside the inn. He has been hired by He Xi for a long time. For ordinary people, a small yard is enough.
But for He Xi, it was too simple.
Even if He Xi doesn't care, the people around He Xi also care.
Before He Xi, I don't care. He is a single man and can live wherever he wants. But now that my wife and children are here, things are different. He wondered in his mind whether he should build a separate courtyard in Niuzhuang.
The reason why I am in Niuzhuang is not anywhere else. Just because He Xi felt that his days in Niuzhuang would never be short in the future.
Suddenly He Xi felt a light touch on her arm and saw that Princess Anqing had woken up.
Princess Anqing blushed and said, "Are you too much? I have something to say to you this time."
He Xi said: "It doesn't matter. It's okay to tell him earlier and later. Otherwise, we can tell him later." As he said this, he pretended to pounce on him.
Princess Anqing gave He Xi a hard push and said, "Let's get down to business."
He Xi said: "Okay. Okay, let's talk about business, talk about business." Then, she shrank her body against the quilt, and her face was facing Princess Anqing's. The distance was less than ten centimeters, and her breathing could be heard. Princess Anqing was stunned for a moment. Waves of light flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
He Xi said, "You said so? Otherwise, I said ------" He Xi's final tone was particularly long. Princess Anqing woke up immediately. This matter is too important. Let Princess Anqing not dare to neglect. Otherwise, she wouldn't mind talking about it later.
So Princess Anqing told everything that happened in Nanjing. She couldn't get a full picture of the whole thing, so she could only tell what she knew, plus her own guesses.
For He Xi, he only needs to know one thing.
That's the one person in the world who knows his secret. One more.
Now that things have happened, He Xi doesn't care how many people know about it. Anyway, everything has changed in the future. There is no use knowing the future. What is really useful is the knowledge of future generations. There was just one thing that He Xi had been deliberately not thinking about.
But there was no room for him to avoid it at this moment.
That is the question of who belongs to the country a hundred years after Zhu Yuanzhang?
Zhu Yuanzhang is sixty-one years old. There are still ten years of life left, no, even ten years of life is not certain. After all, history has changed. Although He Xi has some foundation in Liaodong. But everything he did was based on Zhu Yuanzhang's support.
Once Zhu Yuanzhang no longer supports it. Or Zhu Yuanzhang is gone.
What does this situation look like?
He Xi couldn't even imagine it.
The road ahead was confusing, which made He Xi a little scared.
He Xi secretly thought in her heart: "I can't guess Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, but it is true that he wants to make a big move. But what do the princes think? I think the prince acts safely, but he is too safe. He doesn't look like a Want to change the law."
"And sending Zhu Xiongying here at this time has too many implications, which is unpredictable. If Zhu Xiongying is the emperor's grandson, he should not leave Nanjing. Now it seems that Zhu Xiongying's leaving Nanjing is almost equivalent to Zhu Yunwen becoming the legitimate son. "
"And how much does Zhu Xiongying himself know?"
He Xi was fascinated by the thought. Princess Anqing couldn't help but ask: "What are you thinking about?"
