Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1659, Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water
Nanjing, Jinling Hotel where Liu Jin stayed.

Liu Jin and Wang Shouren were drinking wine and looking at the now depressed Jinling City.

"Liu Jin, you have always been resourceful. Help me find a way. If Jinling continues like this, I'm afraid it will become a very ordinary city by then."

Wang Shouren looked outside. To be honest, he was also worried about the current situation in Jinling.

Daming is a period of rapid change and rapid development, and cities of all sizes in various parts of Daming are developing rapidly.

Needless to say, Beijing and Tianjin, Songhu has become the third largest city in Ming Dynasty in just a few years, and Yili in the Western Regions is also getting bigger and bigger.

Wuchang in Huguang, Nanchang in Jiangxi, Guangzhou in Guangdong, Crescent City in Nanyang, and Kaifeng in Henan are all rapidly rising and developing rapidly.

In such a critical period, not only did Nanjing not develop, but it was regressing rapidly. If this continues, it is estimated that in a few years, Nanjing will really have no status.

Once the city's development misses the best period, it will inevitably fail to keep up, and one step behind will fall behind step by step. What's more, many advantages that Nanjing now has are gradually being replaced by Songhu.

Songhu Haihe River transportation is extremely convenient, and the geographical location of transportation is extremely important. Business travelers traveling from south to north, east to west now choose to go to Songhu instead of Nanjing.

In the past, it could be said that it was supported by the water transport of the Qinhuai River, but now the water transport has declined, and the sea transport is on the rise. A new large steam ship can support many water transport ships for you. Transportation does not necessarily rely on water transport, and the status of water transport is gradually declining, so don't expect Nanjing to be any better.

"Isn't it good to become an ordinary city?"

Liu Jin looked at Wang Shouren, thought for a while and said.

"But Jinling is not an ordinary city after all."

Wang Shouren sighed and said, this is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the old capital of the Ming Dynasty, and there is even a complete six-part system here, and the emperor can even move here directly to build a new boiler, which is incomparable to other cities .

"Everything has a cause and effect. If Jinling cannot develop, other cities can develop better."

"For our entire Ming Dynasty, it's actually the same. The population is so large in a short period of time. If you have more people in Jinling, other cities will have fewer."

"If you have fewer people in Jinling, there will naturally be more people in other cities."

"The big families, big businessmen, and big gentry in Jiangnan will eventually have to pay the price for their actions."

Liu Jin didn't seem to care about this at all. Anyway, the water is in the pool. If there is no one in Jinling, there will be no one. If people go to Songhu, Songhu's development can be faster.

Why do some big cities in later generations introduce policies to attract college students to settle down and work? In fact, it is not to grab people. After all, there are people who have everything.

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Wang Shouren immediately had nothing to say, and in fact, it was exactly as Liu Jin said.

Jinling is not doing well here, but the surrounding Suzhou, Yangzhou, Songhu, Hangzhou and the like are developing much faster. A large number of factories have moved to these places, and migrant workers have also gone to these cities.

For Daming, the rise and fall of Jinling is simply irrelevant.

But for Jinling people, the decline of Jinling is a vital interest.

The houses here used to be very expensive, but now no one wants cheap ones; in the past, it was easy to find a job here. There are thousands of factories, large and small, and you can find a good job casually, and you can also do some small business. In the past, Jinling was very lively. At night, not only the Qinhuai River was brightly lit, but also the night market and commercial street where barbecues were eaten. But now, even the flower boats on the Qinhuai River go to Songhu. up.

After the two finished eating, they also got into a four-wheeled carriage and went to the riverside area where the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge was built.

"The Yangtze River Bridge is planned to be built from here to the opposite bank. The water flow in this section is gentle, the geological structure is stable, and there is a large open area around it, which can well raise the bridge."

When he came to the Yangtze River, Wang Shouren also introduced to Liu Jin in detail why he chose this place.

Liu Jin also listened carefully, combined with the memory in his mind, he felt that the location of this site was similar to the place where the bridge was built in later generations, and then looked at the Yangtze River in front of him, the river was open and misty, and there were boats coming from east to west from time to time In the past, there were also fishing boats casting nets on it to catch fish.

"Ok?"

"There are finless porpoises?"

"Bring the telescope~"

Liu Jin, who was looking at the river, suddenly became interested when he saw a group of finless porpoises chasing Xishui on the river.

This thing is a critically ill animal in later generations, and its number is extremely rare. There may only be a few hundred in the entire Yangtze River Basin. The fishing in the Yangtze River Basin in later generations is so powerful that it almost became extinct.

I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to see this kind of elf when I came to the river once.

Liu Jin looked carefully at the river with a telescope. A group of finless porpoises with a size of several tens of meters was constantly swimming towards the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, laughing and playing. It can be seen that their population quantity and quality are very Yes, it is enough to show that the Yangtze River in this period had a very good ecological environment.

This is extremely rare.

The Yangtze River in later generations not only has a large decrease in water volume, but also a sharp drop in fish in the Yangtze River. Even Poyang and Dongting Lake are about to dry up, which can be said to be in jeopardy.

Later, there was really no other way, and a total ban on fishing had to be implemented. Only then did it slowly recover a little bit of vitality, but it was still difficult to restore the previous ecological environment.

"This is finless porpoise. It tastes extremely delicious. I'll ask someone to arrange it for you."

Seeing that Liu Jin was interested in the finless porpoise, Wang Shouren said the same thing.

"Don't, don't~"

"Don't you think they are the elves of the Yangtze River?"

"What a lovely, what a free creature!"

"This Yangtze River, in the future, we must ban fishing on a regular basis, and we can't wantonly overfishing. Otherwise, if our descendants can't see these elves, wouldn't it be a pity."

As soon as Liu Jin heard it, he hurriedly said.

People in this period are really speechless. They eat everything, and they are not afraid of eating up or extinction.

There are many precious species in the Yangtze River, such as finless porpoise, river sturgeon, alligator, etc., which were almost extinct in later generations.

"Ah~"

When Wang Shouren heard this, he was also dumbfounded.

What on earth is Liu Jin thinking about? Isn't the fish in the water just for eating?

What kind of elves, and even talking about regular fishing bans, I really don't understand what Liu Jin has in his head.

The finless porpoise is often caught by fishermen, and it is also a home-cooked dish here in Nanjing. There are even more types of fish, which is not a big deal.

"Ah what?"

"When I turn back, I will report this matter to the Son of Heaven. All the rivers and rivers in my Ming Dynasty must be banned and closed on a regular basis. Overfishing must not be allowed, and precious wealth must be left to future generations."

Liu Jin curled his lips. Of course, people in this period still can't understand why they need protection.

The people of Ming Dynasty had just eaten their fill. If it was the past, let alone the finless porpoise, even if it was a national treasure of later generations caught by someone, it would not escape the fate of a pot of stew.

Of course, now Daming is sparsely populated, and a large number of people have migrated from the mainland to other parts of the world. Many people have migrated from deep mountains and old forests, even from Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.

The benefits of this are also obvious. With fewer people, there will be less damage to nature. It is not necessarily necessary to implement special protection, and the natural environment will not be worse.

But what should be protected needs to be protected. Because Daming has this condition now, it should be protected even more. Anyway, now we don’t worry about food, land, or resources. We should properly protect these precious resources. It is also a valuable asset left to future generations.

"So that's the case. This is from the thought in "Mencius". It takes time for the ax to enter the mountain forest, and the wood is too good to use. Is that what it means?"

Wang Shouren thought about it carefully and said.

"That's what it means. The fishing ban and moratorium are also for long-term livelihood, so that future generations can also see these elves in the Yangtze River."

Liu Jin nodded with a smile, and then started to walk casually along the Yangtze River.

Looking at the Yangtze River in front of him, Liu Jin soon thought of Yang Shen's "Fairy of Linjiang".

"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, the waves wipe out the heroes, the success or failure turns around, the green hills are still there, how many times the sunset is red~"

Liu Jin couldn't help but read it.

In front of the Yangtze River, in ancient times, Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms looked at the river and sighed. Later, there were great men and women who looked at the present and commented on the emperors through the ages. word.

"Liu Gong, what a good word!"

When Wang Shouren on the side heard it, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, the waves wipe out the heroes, success and failure turn heads, the green hills are still there, and the sunset is red a few times!"

"Wonderful, wonderful, this article is enough to spread through the ages!"

"Cough~cough~"

When Liu Jin heard it, his face blushed. It's a bit embarrassing to plagiarize other people's poems.

"Liu Gong, did you leave the gate?"

Wang Shouren couldn't see Liu Jin's embarrassment, he savored it carefully, thought about it and asked again.

He felt that Liu Jin wrote this poem because of his feelings about watching the Yangtze River, and his poetry flourished.

"White-haired fishermen and woodcutters are on the river, used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze, happy to meet each other with a pot of turbid wine, so many things in ancient and modern times are all laughed and talked about!"

Old Liu Jin blushed even more. After thinking about it, since he plagiarized, he might as well plagiarize to the end. He read out a passage after walking around a few times, and he also read out the famous "Linjiang Immortal".
