Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After having breakfast, Zhao Hongyu ordered someone to prepare it.

    After Li Xiang and the others had finished eating, they left the City Lord's Mansion under the leadership of Zhao Hongyu and began to head to the navy camp.

    After walking out of the city lord's palace, the group of them came to Nagasaki Street in a mighty manner, because if they want to go to the naval camp stationed near Nagasaki Port, they must pass through Nagasaki Commercial Street.

    The streets are bustling with people and are even more prosperous than when the Japanese ruled.

    At the same time, because the Imperial Army Navy was stationed here in Nagasaki, the population increased by tens of thousands.  Therefore, new taverns and prostitutes began to be built in Nagasaki, and because of this, Nagasaki became much more prosperous than before.

    Along the way, Zhao Hongyu and the others saw many buildings that were under construction but not yet completed.  Japanese small two-story or single-story buildings are extending outward from Nagasaki's commercial streets, and there is a tendency to expand in size throughout Nagasaki.

    Because of the increase in population and the fact that the garrison soldiers of the Song Empire were really rich, Nagasaki's economy suddenly strengthened a lot.  Businessmen are all profit-seeking by nature. When there are such huge benefits here in Nagasaki, those businessmen will definitely be continuously attracted.

    ¡°But there are only so many houses here in Nagasaki, what should the new businessmen do if they can¡¯t find a place to do business?

    So, buying land to build new shops became their choice.

    Of course, the land now basically belongs to the Song Empire, so those businessmen who want to buy land must deal with people from the Song Empire.

    Back then, the land here in Nagasaki was basically controlled by the group of former castle lords.  But because these guys ran away to death, these lands became ownerless lands.

    Although some local wealthy families in Nagasaki wanted to seize it, they gave up the idea when they saw how fierce the Song Empire was.

    Fighting for food with the wolf-like Song Empire is simply seeking death.

    Therefore, those unowned lands became the possessions of the Song Empire.

    Strictly speaking, it is Zhao Hongyu¡¯s land.

    With these lands, Nagasaki will definitely need to be re-planned.

    The original commercial streets and buildings in Nagasaki will definitely not be moved, but a new plan is definitely needed.

    The land purchased by the new businessmen was re-planned.

    Under the planning of the Nagasaki government of the Song Empire, buildings and land could not be messed with.  It stipulates how much land you occupy and where you build must be strictly implemented, so as to avoid random construction.

    Now that Nagasaki is beginning to develop, everyone will know how important planned construction is in the future.

    It¡¯s just the beginning now, so the effect is not yet obvious.

    "I have been to Nagasaki many times before. Although I admit that Nagasaki is more prosperous, it is always much worse than the Ming Dynasty. But now under His Highness's rule, I find that Nagasaki has become  It¡¯s even more lively.¡±

    After a group of people rode on the street, Li Xiang said to Zhao Hongyu sincerely.

    Although this is said sincerely, there is also a small compliment and horse in it.  After all, he has now taken refuge and his identity has become his subordinate. Sometimes he still needs to compliment him.

    Li Xiang is no longer young. At his age, is there anything he hasn¡¯t seen or figured out?

    There is no shame in saying something nice or something.

    If you are a young person, you may not do this.

    "Oh, what was Nagasaki like in the past? When I led the army to capture Nagasaki, it seemed that Nagasaki was okay here."

    Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words are somewhat untrue. How can Nagasaki be compared with Manhattan in the Americas?

    You know, the population of Manhattan has now exceeded 2 million people, and the entire city has expanded countless times.  Even the size can be compared with the city of Beijing in this era.

    In particular, there were many ships coming and going from the docks and ports of the Song Empire. There were as many as three to four hundred merchant ships coming in and out of the docks every day.

    Such a prosperous port, a city with so many people, especially the numerous commercial streets throughout the city, and the people having enough consumption funds in their pockets are unique in this era.

    Especially in Manhattan, all kinds of basic public facilities are well-equipped, and street lights and trams are also opened. How can it compare with other countries?

    Nagasaki is just a small town with a population of less than 200,000In the city, there are only a dozen ships entering and leaving the port every day, and most of them are from Korea.

    This is simply incomparable to Manhattan.

    Look at the port in Manhattan, where the merchant ships coming in and out every day come from.

    Manhattan is like an international port, while Nagasaki is at best a local port.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that it¡¯s hard for Zhao Hongyu to say this. No one would believe him even if he tried to say it.

    There are four to five hundred ocean-going merchant ships a day, and the tonnage of cargo transported is huge. Even the Ming Dynasty did not have such prosperity.

    Thinking about it, before they have seen the real prosperity of Manhattan, even if they told Li Xiang and others about the situation in Manhattan, they would not believe it.

    Therefore, Zhao Hongyu was too lazy to talk.

    Seeing that Zhao Hongyu asked him about the past situation in Nagasaki, since there was still some distance from the dock now, Li Xiang was also happy to talk to Zhao Hongyu and shorten the distance between the two parties.

    Therefore, Li Xiang replied: "Nagasaki is considered prosperous in the Japanese country, but compared with Quanzhou in the Ming Dynasty, it is much worse"

    Zhao Hongyu and his group rode their horses down the street. When the passers-by saw them, they all retreated to both sides and knelt on the ground.  They all lowered their heads, fear and respect showing in their eyes.

    Of course, because they lowered their heads, their eyes could not be seen.

    In the Japanese country, people like Zhao Hongyu have a very high status.

    "Don't talk about Zhao Hongyu, even if the soldiers of the navy and army are walking on the street, the people of Nagasaki will respect them as samurai masters.

    Especially the soldiers of the Song Empire were very rich, so the soldiers of the Song Empire were almost regarded as ancestors by the Nagasaki people and supported them.

    "However, although we don't really worship him as our ancestors, it's almost the same.

    ¡°These days, the rich ones are the rich ones.

    ??Especially when you are rich and so fierce, this is definitely much higher than the uncle.

    Walking down the street, I saw many imperial soldiers along the way.

    They didn¡¯t kneel to the ground like the Japanese, but they all stepped aside one after another, then straightened their bodies and raised their hands in a military salute.

    "This is the etiquette in our army, which is different from that in the Ming Dynasty. As a warrior, knees are very precious, and there is no need to kneel down. You must keep this in mind."

    When Li Xiang and others saw the soldiers saluting but not kneeling, they all expressed curiosity about this.

    Because they feel that Zhao Hongyu is the crown prince of a country and the future emperor.

    "These soldiers at the bottom must kneel down on the ground three times and nine times in fear."

    However, things were not at all what they imagined.

    "A man has gold under his knees, so he must kneel to the sky and the ground to his parents. Except for some major holidays, there is no need to kneel." Zhao Hongyu returned the greetings to the soldiers as he walked, and explained to Li Xiang and the others.  "Of course, because we have many ethnic groups in the Song Empire, we must always respect other ethnic groups, so it is okay if someone wants to kneel down."

    Li Xiang and the others were not interested in standing and saluting, so when they heard what Zhao Hongyu said, they immediately decided to show their respect and respect for Zhao Hongyu, and also for themselves to be able to get along better in the American Song Empire in the future.  , and decided that they would all kneel down to Zhao Hongyu from now on.

    ¡°Besides, isn¡¯t it the same in the Ming Dynasty?

    There¡¯s nothing remarkable about this.

    "Actually, there is no other way." Zhao Hongyu pretended to be 13 and sighed. At this time, he didn't know that Li Xiang and the others had already made such a decision.  "Since we left the land of our ancestors and went to a place full of barbarian natives, we have forgotten many of our ancestors' rules."

    Zhao Hongyu said this actually to fill some loopholes in his words.

    ¡°After all, he claims to be a royal descendant of the Song Dynasty, but you can¡¯t see any trace of the royal family in him, so he must find an excuse to come out.

    ¡°In fact, he knows that he doesn¡¯t need to make excuses, and no one will doubt him.

    The reason is very simple, because the aura exuding from Zhao Hongyu's body is definitely that of a superior person at a glance.

    An ordinary person would never have such momentum.

    ¡°At least, that¡¯s how Li Xiang felt after coming into contact with Zhao Hongyu.

    "But what Li Xiang doesn't know is that as a modern person from another time and space, he hasThis kind of momentum is normal.

    And after a series of education, no matter how bad you are, for a person in the seventeenth century, you are still an advanced intellectual.

    And, some knowledge you know is more than people in this era.

    So, when you face people from the seventeenth century, you always show a condescending arrogance.  Even if you suppress it deliberately, it will still come out.

    This has nothing to do with your personality, this is something that comes naturally from your bones.

    Even if you are a very kind person, people will still feel this kind of thing.

    You can't suppress it at all.

    And Li Xiang felt this from Zhao Hongyu.

    However, Li Xiang believed that this was because of Zhao Hongyu¡¯s unique temperament as a royal child, but it had nothing to do with other aspects.

    "I think we, the Song Dynasty, must have gone through a lot of hardships when we established our country in America." Li Xiang now naturally thinks that he is also a citizen of the Song Dynasty, so he also started to say "we, the Song Dynasty" when he spoke.

    Zhao Hongyu laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this part of Li Xiang's words.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
