Qiming 1158

Chapter 1559 So, are you disappointed in Daming?
Regarding Su Changsheng's emotion, Zhang Shi thought of some Confucian teachings.

"Is human nature evil?"

Zhang Shi sighed: "Xun Zi was originally a great sage of Confucianism, and because of his inherent evil nature, he was scolded by many later generations of Confucian scholars, but now it seems that what he said is clearly correct, under the circumstance of legal constraints. Even if they do evil, how much evil can people do without the restraint of the law?"

"So, are you disappointed in Daming?"

Su Changsheng looked at Zhang Zhi with great interest: "Do you think Daming is not the heaven on earth you imagined?"

"I can't talk about disappointment. In the final analysis, Daming is much stronger than the Southern Song Dynasty."

Zhang Shi said slowly: "It's just that in my opinion, Daming should be better, not degenerate like the Southern Song Dynasty. The ideals have not been achieved, and the revolutionary goals have not been achieved, so they can't wait to start pursuing enjoyment. This is not right."

Su Changsheng nodded slowly.

"So you support the chairman's reforms?"

"support."

Zhang Shi nodded and said, "The opponents would not hesitate to kill their comrades to stop the chairman's reforms. I can be sure that the chairman is doing the right thing, because the enemy doesn't see us as a little bit better, and we are better than them. It's even more painful to be broken."

Su Changsheng raised his eyebrows.

"Even if one day these reforms will harm your interests?"

Zhang Shi looked at Su Changsheng, the expression on his face was reverent like a saint.

"What I can have in Daming, I can have it in the Southern Song Dynasty, or even better, since I chose Daming, then I am not afraid of any damage to my interests, I have paid a lot of things, but I don't care, I just want to pursue The heaven on earth in my heart is more important than anything else.”

Su Changsheng listened, nodded slowly, patted Zhang Shi on the shoulder, and said nothing.

Su Yonglin did not stay in Hangzhou for a long time, only for three days.

He inspected the newly built collective farms and handicraft workshops around Hangzhou, and had close conversations with local farmers and workers in Jiangnan, using his identity from Jiangnan to get closer to them, talking about the world, eating the same food and sleeping like them. bed.

These peasants and workers from miserable backgrounds never imagined that the head of a country could achieve this level with them, so what Su Yonglin did left a deep impression on them.

The common people are not fools. Whoever treats them well and whoever treats them badly has a steelyard in their hearts, and when necessary, they will vote with their feet.

They were soon willing to say what they really wanted to say to Su Yonglin, not some other pretty scene words.

The handicraft workshops around Hangzhou are mainly for foreign trade, such as silk, porcelain, pottery and other traditional fist products.

After adopting the Ming Dynasty's new production management method, the output has been greatly improved. The big dog owners are very happy and open up to buy and buy. It seems that they will lose money if they don't buy everything. go down.

They don't seem to care about price, or they don't care about price for a while.

Of course, in the past, no matter how much goods were sold, and no matter how high the income of the workshop was, it was the income of the gentlemen, and it had nothing to do with the workers.

Under the Ming Dynasty's new management method, the income and welfare of workers will also increase with the improvement of field efficiency, and the income will also rise.

To be honest, after the war of extermination of the country, after all the exploiters were killed, the number of permanent residents in the city of Hangzhou also dropped rapidly, and the prosperity of the past was soon lost.

However, as the situation stabilizes, more and more industrial workers choose to buy houses in the nearest city of Hangzhou and settle down in the city of Hangzhou.

In order to provide workers with good logistical benefits, some factories will also take the initiative to contact the Hangzhou government, buy a piece of land at a lower group purchase price, and build houses to distribute to the workers.

The number of people in the city of Hangzhou has gradually increased, and the consumption power has gradually increased. The prosperous business scene in the morning and evening is slowly recovering.

The night before he decided to leave Hangzhou and go to his hometown in Dinghai County to worship his ancestors, Su Yonglin ended his inspection visit to the last factory.

Because Su Changsheng wanted to see Su Yonglin off, Su Yonglin did not have dinner in the workshop, but returned to Hangzhou City and went to Beiguo Building.

Since it was to see him off, he naturally served good wine and good food together, and the bill was all on Su Changsheng's head. Anyway, he was very rich.

After three rounds of drinking, Su Yonglin looked at Su Changsheng, who was a little drunk, and suddenly became overwhelmed with emotion.

"Changsheng, do you still remember the last meal we prepared for Sun Yuanqi here 15 years ago? Strictly speaking, it was also a meal to send off, right?"

After Su Yonglin said this, Su Changsheng was also filled with emotion, and felt a little nostalgic for the past.

"That matter, I will never forget it anyway, I still prescribe the medicine."

Zhang Shi, who was next to him, became interested.

He had seen in Su Yonglin's self-preface that Su Yonglin had been very candid that he had killed a Southern Song dog officer before the uprising, so as to cut off his own way back and not let himself back down.

When the Southern Song Dynasty found out about the incident, it also conducted a thorough investigation into the matter, and finally came to the conclusion that the Daming Emperor had indeed killed the guy named Sun Yuanqi, and that guy was the protective umbrella of the Su family in Lin'an. .

I have to say that this world is very strange, and Zhang Jin also used his wine to boldly ask Su Yonglin if he could talk about what happened back then.

Su Yonglin had nothing to do with it, so he told Zhang Jin what happened that year with a smile, and he remembered the details clearly.

"Sun Yuanqi's dog thief is really not a good thing. At the beginning, he also forced me very badly. In the end, I decided to kill him before going north, so as to cut off my way back. In this way, I can make a revolution very simply and completely. So I asked him to be at Xichun Building... that's Beiguo Building! It's here! Right, Changsheng?"

Su Changsheng nodded again and again.

"The young owner of Xichun Building is indifferent, things are not done well, and the family is on the verge of bankruptcy. I took the opportunity to take the Xichun Building and rebuilt it. It is the current Beiguo Building. It's been modified a little, but it hasn't moved much."

Su Changsheng looked around, then looked at Su Yonglin with a somewhat amused look, and said, "Alang, did you know that this room was the one where we invited Sun Yuanqi to dinner back then, and now it's the highest-end room in the Beiguo Building."

"is it?"

Su Yonglin laughed loudly, looked around, and said with some emotion: "It's a pity that it was March, but it's already May, otherwise, I can really pay tribute to Sun Yuanqi and pay tribute to his legacy, hahahahaha!"

Su Changsheng also laughed.

However, Zhang Shi felt a little weird, and always felt as if he should not eat here.

"The meal that year was a farewell meal for Sun Yuanqi. I didn't eat much. After I went out, I was very hungry, so I went to the shopping street outside to get some food. Ayong went to eat together, Changsheng, you are not here, you are dealing with Sun Yuanqi's funeral, hahahaha!"

Su Changsheng nodded.

"Later, that bastard Su Yong even showed off to me, saying that Alang invited him to have a good meal, and he was mad at me. I almost beat him to death at that time."

Su Yonglin laughed.

"What are you angry about? There's no need to be angry, it was... yes... right, the street next to Zhong'an Bridge, Jingfu, is that street still there?"

Zhang Shi was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "It's still there, Lin'an hasn't been damaged much, and most of the buildings are well preserved."

"Are there any businessmen doing business on that street? Is there any place to eat?"

"Yes, although there are no dignitaries in Lin'an City anymore, but there are many workers and merchants on foot, so there are still many small vendors selling food at Zhong'an Bridge."

"it is good!"

Su Yonglin slapped the table and stood up: "I drank a lot, but I didn't eat well. This is not good. It will be uncomfortable at night. Let's go! I invite you to go to Zhong'an Bridge for a second meal!"

"what?"

Before Zhang Shi could react, he was caught by the overjoyed Su Changsheng.

"Go, Alang treats you, don't eat for nothing!"

So Zhang Shi was dragged away by Su Changsheng.

The three left Beiguo Building and joined the crowded Hangzhou night together.
