"It takes one year to form a gathering, two years to form a town, and three years to form a capital." Fu Youde said: "I originally thought this was a false statement by the ancients. But now it seems that someone really has this ability. He Xi, this person can only be a friend. Don't be an enemy. Even if you have the chance to kill him in the future, you can't get your hands dirty. People from the Song Dynasty were rarely named Hui, but I feel ashamed to be named Qin when I go to my grave."
"Father is right. It's just a small conflict between He Xi and I. It won't get to this point. When I meet He Xi this time, I will definitely apologize." Fu Zhong said.
Fu Youde looked at Fu Zhong and felt a little distressed. Fu Zhong is no longer a teenager now, and the high-spirited spirit he once had has settled down after years of hard work.
Know what to do, what not to do, and what to do. What not to do. If many people valued He Xi before, it was because of He Xi's identity and background, but now it's different.
What they valued was He Xi's ability, and He Xi had weaved a big web by herself.
What shocked Fu Youde even more was what He Xi did in Liaodong. Liaodong is almost a deserted land.
But now it seems that we can no longer go near Peiping. Of course, Fu Youde also knew. The north served as the main battlefield that year.
Killing Yingye. Not much better than Liaodong. But Peiping has been managed by the Ming Dynasty for decades.
This kind of ability is not comparable to Xiao He and Li Shanchang. When the world is safe, pay attention to your appearance; when the world is in danger, pay attention to your generals.
Fu Youde is also confident that he is the choice of the world's famous generals. But he is more aware of the changes in the world situation. Today, although there are problems and hidden dangers of this kind.
But the world has changed from a chaotic world to a peaceful world, and it's time to pay attention to the phase. And He Xi is the prime minister.
future status and achievements. Probably above him. So there was a small grudge between his family and He Xi.
Naturally, it has to be resolved. Fu Youde said: "As long as my son understands. However, He Xi is He Xi, and my Fu family is not a soft persimmon. We only need to resolve this small festival. There is no need to get too close to He Xi in the future. After all, the Ming Dynasty The world can naturally tolerate members of my Fu family." Fu Zhong said, "I understand, kid." After this conversation.
Fu Youde paid special attention to the situation around Liaodong. It's summer now. And the Fu family and his party took the post road again.
Today's overall framework of Liaodong is built around land and water transportation lines. That is, the Western Liaoning Corridor and both sides of the Liaohe River.
Apart from these places, there are naturally a lot of places that are completely deserted. And near the traffic line.
I dare not say that all the land has been reclaimed. But around the inn, villages of various sizes have been expanded.
The only thing that made Fu Youde a little uncomfortable was that the local accent was particularly unpleasant. Don't understand what these people are saying?
It doesn’t seem to be northern Mandarin. Later I found out that he was a native of Korea. Nowadays, there are very few people who can speak Chinese. Even though there are a few who can speak Chinese.
In that tone. Has a particularly awkward accent. Fu Youde couldn't say anything. However, this made He Xi gain another point in Fu Youde's heart.
There is no other reason. In Fu Youde's heart, the natives of Goryeo are naturally inferior to those of China. How can he arrange these people in place?
It can be regarded as part of He Xi's ability. Soon Fu Youde came to Niuzhuang, which is Yingkou. Fu Youde stood on a high place, overlooking Yingkou City in the distance.
I just couldn't believe my eyes. This time there is no need for Fu Zhong to say anything. Niuzhuang Station is an important land and water hub, and Fu Youde has been here before.
Although it was several years ago. At that time, there was only one big inn. Although the wall is a bit bigger.
It's just a big empty yard. But today's Yingkou City. What a city. The city has not been repaired yet.
But hundreds of people have already started working together. Not to mention there are several large and small gaps. It looks like a city gate with countless people walking around.
And on the pier on the river bank not far away. There are sailboats as far as the eye can see. Densely packed. It seems to be blocking the water flow.
Further away, Fu Youde looked far into the distance. It seems that I can see the other side of the Liao River. There is also a vaguely facing city.
I just can’t see it clearly. This picture shocked Fu Youde. For a moment, he felt like he was in Liaodong or Jiangdong.
Although the food crisis has eased, some delayed matters have been put on the agenda one by one. For example, the city was built in Yingkou.
Although the drought in the north is over. There are no more refugees from the north. However, Korean immigrants were still transported to Liaodong intermittently.
Especially besieging the main Japanese force in the small city of Busan. Naturally, the newly occupied areas were also purged, and not a single member of the Koryo clan who had fled there was spared.
These people come here. Manpower is sufficient. Naturally, a city must be built. However, the shape of Yingkou City is different from other cities in the north.
Yingkou City developed as a post station. Before there were city walls, it had spread over a large area.
Therefore, building a city wall can only acknowledge reality. It is impossible to make it square. The direction of the Liaohe River must also be accommodated.
It becomes a polygon. But in any case, Yingkou City is very large. The specifications are not low.
After all, Yingkou City is not just for people to live in. It is also an industrial area. Although there were more than a dozen factories, large and small, they were nothing more than township and village enterprises in later generations.
In this era, it is already one of the few industrial clusters in the entire Ming Dynasty. If we say, the previous village.
It is still within the scope of Fu Youde's cognition. The situation in front of him now is something Fu Youde cannot understand.
Fu Youde worked in farming. Like those villages. As long as we make arrangements for farming, it can be done. So Fu Youde was even more surprised that He Xi did it quickly and well.
But a city. He represents more than just a city. But the entire system within the city's radiation range.
This is not just about building a city. It is very simple to build a city. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, cities have been built everywhere, and Fu Youde also did it.
But building a city is completely different from whether the city is prosperous or not. For example, Daning City.
Hanging alone on the grassland, it looks very big. But in terms of time, Daning City was just a military city. A fortress.
Except for the soldiers, there were almost no other people with the military family members. There are also very few industries outside the city. in pre-industrial societies.
Cities are not units of production, but units of consumption. This is why rural areas can surround cities. Fu Youde cannot explain this reason.
But he knew it. It is difficult to maintain a prosperous city without hundreds and thousands of rural areas.
The reason why this city makes Fu Youde feel like he is in Jiangdong. That is because the entire Ming Dynasty, that is, the Jiangnan region, has the most developed handicraft industry.
It's the most similar to the situation here. Fu Youde took a long time to sigh and said: "Zhong'er, life is like this. Among your peers, there are people you can't compare to. I don't know whether it is a great blessing or a great misfortune." At this moment, Fu Youde thought of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Fu Youde followed Liu Futong in the Northern Expedition. In a twist, he even became the leader of the rebel army. In the end, I had to admit that I was not that piece of material.
In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang was chosen. With his current status, he was naturally very impressed with Zhu Yuanzhang. Fu Youde also admitted that if he had not met Zhu Yuanzhang, it would be difficult for him to be where he is today.
But Zhu Yuanzhang did not lack a Marquis of Yingchuan without him. Nowadays, there are certainly secret turmoils between the monarch and his ministers.
But as long as Zhu Yuanzhang did not die for a day, Fu Youde would be Zhu Yuanzhang's loyal minister. But how does Fu Zhong feel about He Xi?
It's hard to say for him. Great luck and great misfortune, sometimes just in a thought. But it is not the father who can persuade.
Fu Zhong understood what Fu Youde meant. But he didn't want to talk. For those who are conceited and proud. Admit that you are not as good as others.
It is a difficult thing to do. After admitting that you are inferior to others, it is already more difficult to bow your head and submit.
Admit that you are inferior to someone, bow your head and submit, but also follow him. Become a lackey. Non-dual devotees.
It is even more difficult. Even Fu Zhong admits that maybe this is the way to go. It's better to go.
The easiest path to achieve something. But is the best path he has chosen?
