    The China Princess finally docked.

    Yu Guozhen raised his eyes and saw that this steamship, which incorporates the most advanced technology in Xinxiang, is not only large in tonnage, but also has extremely complete facilities. The comfort level of riding on this ship is no less than that of an ordinary hotel.

    This ship also has another important significance. It is the first steamship built in Shanghai. In recent years, Yu Guozhen has spared no effort in the construction of Shanghai. He knows what position Shanghai will have in China's economic map in the future, so he will  The Xinxiang Shipyard was divided into two, and the Jiangnan Shipyard was built here. In order to support the Jiangnan Shipyard, the Baoshan Iron Works and the Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau were also built. To facilitate these, a large port was also built.

    There are a total of four major projects and 156 minor projects. After these projects were arranged in Shanghai, Shanghai suddenly changed from a simple transit trading town to an emerging industrial city.  Yu Guozhen's plan is to use Shanghai as the leader to promote economic and trade prosperity in the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. This requires a thorough sweep of the gentry and clan forces in the countryside, allowing ordinary people to profit from this sweep, thereby increasing their wealth.  Spending power.

    Yu Guozhen clearly realizes that with today's global purchasing power, it is impossible to consume all China's products that have released production capacity. He wants to avoid an economic crisis. The only way is to control major industrial products as much as possible, especially steel and cement.  While focusing on heavy industry, we should try to increase China¡¯s internal purchasing power as much as possible.  This is not a perfunctory way of talking about making the cake bigger or dividing the cake, but a system that needs to be guaranteed by the military power in his hands!

    Therefore, others thought that the turmoil some time ago had come to an end as the main criminals were arrested one after another.  Only Yu Guozhen himself understands that this is not enough. A bigger storm is still to come, and he is already preparing for it.

    "Aren't you in a hurry to see the Chinese princess?" At this time, Fang Ziyi next to her saw that her son was deliberately walking farther away, so she joked in a low voice.

    Yu Guozhen turned around and smiled slightly awkwardly.  He reached out and took her hand.

    He felt that the best judgment he had ever made in his life was when he chose Fang Ziyi as his legal wife.  There is really nothing to say about the Fang family's tutoring, not to mention the three obediences and four virtues.  Fang Ziyi's most admired aunt, because she had no heirs, chose two talented and beautiful concubines for Zhang Bingwen.  He also treated the sons of his two concubines as his own.

    Although Fang Ziyi is not as good as Fang Meng, she has basically turned a blind eye to Yu Guozhen's lustful side for so many years.  It was not that she was unaware, on the contrary, when Liu Rushi and Yu Lian were jealous and sad, she had to comfort them.

    "Perhaps this is the characteristic of women in this era. Yu Guozhen felt a little ashamed, but also a little happy: as women's economic power increases, their political power will gradually increase.  I'm just afraid that when my son's generation comes, there won't be such good things anymore.

    "Only our daughter can be called the Princess of China." Yu Guozhen held Fang Ziyi's hand and shook it gently.

    Fang Ziyi glanced at him angrily, but did not let go.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT Down  Secondly, she felt that she also needed to declare her sovereignty.  No matter how romantic Yu Guozhen was, she was his only wife and the future queen of the Chinese Empire.

    Just like when Zhu Yuanzhang only had one queen, Ma Dajiao.

    After a while, a man appeared on the side of the ship. This man was wearing a yellow crown robe.  It was Chongzhen.

    Calculating time, this is already the 25th year of Chongzhen, and Chongzhen, who is more than 40 years old, is in the prime of his life.  The ten years of his career in Yicheng did not leave many traces on him. He seemed younger and more energetic than ten years ago.

    As soon as they saw him, Fang Kongzheng and others led a group of old officials of the Ming Dynasty, walked forward quickly, and bowed to the ground.

    "Fang Qing, Zhang Qing, and you!"

    Chongzhen was very excited. He almost ran down at a trot. Yu Guozhen shook his head slightly. It seemed that he had suppressed Chongzhen in the past ten years.

    The Chinese army officers and soldiers who were loyal to him looked at Chongzhen with some caution. Although Chongzhen was only invited by Yu Guozhen to watch the ceremony in Jinling City after agreeing to a series of conditions, who knew that with such old ministers surrounding him?  , will he have another hexagram on a whim?

    Chongzhen also saw Yu Guozhen. Yu Guozhen smiled and cupped his fists, but Chongzhen walked a few steps, came to him, stretched out his hand to him, and shook hands with him.

    This is Chongzhen's self-esteem: the handshake ceremony shows the equal relationship between the two. Although he is a lost king, he is the emperor's emperor after all.  At the same time, this is also Chongzhen's respect for Yu Guozhen's status: Yu Guozhen does not have the title of emperor yet, but he already has the status of emperor.

      "Is this your Majesty's first visit to Nanjing?" Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "Jinling is also an ancient capital, and there are some historical sites that you can visit. Will Your Majesty stay in Nanjing longer this time?"

    "If you hadn't invited me here, I wouldn't have wanted to come here. It smells sour." Chongzhen's words were shocking: "This time I took a boat to Japan and Ryukyu, and to Luzon.  We went to Keelung, Xinxiang and Shanghai - Jimin, can Jinling City compare with these places?"

    Yu Guozhen smiled hoarsely, Chongzhen's words were a disguised compliment to him.  But this is also a fact. When it comes to ancient monuments, although there are many Jinling, Yanjing, Kaifeng before it was flooded, and Luoyang, Xi'an, are not inferior to it. When it comes to scenery, Chongzhen has been around in the past six months and seen the snow in the rich mountains.  , saw the waves of the East China Sea, the beaches of Nanyang, and the sunrise and sunset on the sea.  With his horizons broadened, Jinling City inevitably seemed a little small in his mind.

    And when it comes to urban construction, Jinling City at this time is indeed inferior to those emerging cities built like gardens.

    Yu Guozhen attaches great importance to environmental issues in emerging cities, including Shanghai. Therefore, wide green belts are left on both sides of the road, and every block is required to have an open park.  This request cost him a lot of money, but Yu Guozhen knew very well that the money spent was used on the salaries of various craftsmen, and these salaries would be returned to him through the purchase of industrial products in the factory.  As long as he can continuously launch new products and stimulate people's desire to buy them, he will not worry about not being able to get the money back.

    However, the investment channels for ordinary people are still relatively narrow now, and a large amount of funds are still deposited in banks or various banks. How to activate these funds and create more wealth is what Yu Guozhen needs to think about next.  .

    "Isn't it more difficult to turn around this time?" Yu Guozhen asked with some concern.

    "Fortunately, the boat is a little bumpy, but you get used to it. Jimin, you must be very busy now, how can you have time to pick me up? Have you sorted out the relevant etiquette? Don't be deceived by those civil servants, they are the most accustomed  What Yu does is deceive others and conceal their superiors."

    Chongzhen now truly feels that those Confucian scholars and literati are the main culprits for mistaking him. Regardless of whether they belong to Donglin Qingliu or the eunuch party, they are all the same in essence.  Eunuchs were only domestic slaves of the emperor. Even the 9,000-year-old eunuch Wei Zhongxian, whom Chongzhen aborted, could not become a pavilion elder to supervise a party. Most of the people responsible for fighting for power and profit by building shrines for him in various places were still Confucian scholars.  Especially those Confucian scholars who can only talk but have no real solution will use any means. They have no patience to start from the grassroots and make small changes. In order to seize power as much as possible to realize their ambitions, they will choose to seek refuge with Wei Zhongxian, and even more  Some would even join a foreign race as slaves and maidservants, and then show off their power in front of the Chinese people.

    "I have already made arrangements for His Majesty's residence." Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "Will Your Majesty go to your residence now, or to meet some old friends?"

    "Those who are willing to see me will come naturally. Those who don't want to see me, I won't force them." Chongzhen was very indifferent to those old friends. He was more concerned about other things: "Where's Zhu Yousong?  Want to see him."

    The people next to him were all dumbfounded. Yu Guozhen said, "Well, I'll have someone arrange for him to come see His Majesty."

    The two of them were talking on the dock, and Huang Zongxi, who was looking at this from a distance, was dumbfounded.

    No matter how stupid Huang Zongxi is, he still knows who is coming.

    It turned out to be Chongzhen!

    In Huang Zongxi¡¯s mind, Yu Guozhen¡¯s image became taller and taller.  Not only did Yu Guozhen treat Chongzhen kindly, but judging from the current situation of the two of them, it seemed like a dialogue between the elder and the younger generation!

    How is this possible? Huang Zongxi knew Chongzhen's temper. Chongzhen had a strong temper. How could he talk and laugh happily with Yu Guozhen, who wanted to seize his kingdom?

    He was puzzled and couldn't help but walked closer. After walking a few steps, he was stopped by the Chinese army. Huang Zongxi was in confusion and forgot to restrain himself. He actually pushed the soldiers and immediately  Being pushed to the ground by the soldiers, and seeing that he was about to be taken away, he suddenly became wise and shouted: "Yu Jimin, Yu Jimin!"

    Yu Guozhen heard someone calling him and looked over here.

    He has always traveled easily. This time he sent hundreds of Chinese troops to the dock because he was afraid that someone would use Chongzhen to cause trouble. If he went out by himself, it would be a big deal with dozens of guards by his side.  When he saw that the person who was pushed to the ground looked familiar, he gestured. After Huang Zongxi stood up, he recognized him: "Hey, Huang Taichong, why are you here?"

    Huang Zongxi raised his neck: "Can't I come?"

    "Who is this person?" Chongzhen asked Yu Guozhen in surprise.

    "Huang Zongxi, the son of Huang Zunsu Gong, was given the courtesy name Taichong and had a real temperament.Some people are extreme and only think that Donglin Qingliu is a good person, and if Donglin Qinglin governs, the world will be prosperous and peaceful.  "

    "Does Donglin want the world to be prosperous and peaceful? Too young and too naive!"

    Strictly speaking, Huang Zongxi is now forty years old. He was stunned by Chongzhen's comment of "too young and too naive" and was speechless for a long time. The emperor's comment was like a slap in the face.  , slapped him hard on the face, turning his previous self-righteousness into endless shame.

    "If the gentlemen of Donglin hadn't stopped me, I would have moved the capital to Jinling. If the gentlemen of Donglin hadn't stopped me, I would have opened the sea ban to enrich the country and strengthen the army. If the gentlemen of Donglin hadn't stopped ithaha.  , I have noticed the good intentions of all gentlemen on the day I left Beijing." Chongzhen looked at Huang Zongxi and said this calmly, and then ignored him again: "Jimin, go to the apartment first, you let Zhu You  Come and see me."  .  )
