Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1719 Returning to the Capital
Tianjin Wei, a huge fleet returned from the west, many officials and others from the capital came here, and they were ready to welcome Chu Yun back.

Chu Yun has not been in the mainland for a while, and there are still some problems left unresolved. We need to wait for Chu Yun to come back before we can make a decision.

In fact, when Chu Yun arrived in India, he communicated with the capital by telegram, and when he entered the Indian Ocean, he had already entered the telegraph network.

Wei Qing's main steam ironclad ship appeared in Tianjin Wei waters along with other steam ships and wooden sailing ships.

Chu Yun could see this familiar land, and went to Oulu for a trip. Chu Yun still felt that the land of East Asia was pleasing to the eye. After all, this was the place where he was born and raised, and he was more familiar with and understood it.

"We're finally back!"

The naval cadets on the Zheng He sailing ship cheered. When they return to their homeland, they can be converted from naval cadets to formal naval officers and soldiers.And they completed China's first round-the-world voyage, taking an unfamiliar route.

Chu Yun brought the expedition officials, generals and soldiers ashore one after another, and the officials who had been waiting on the shore hurried forward.

There are still many ordinary people on the shore, and they seldom see those above who take the initiative to go overseas for expansion.They cheered, although they didn't necessarily know what Chu Yun did this time, but the "Kyushu Daily" claimed that he had won several big victories overseas and returned triumphantly.

For ordinary people, winning a big victory is easier to understand than talking about commercial interests. They think that Chu Yun took people out to teach the barbarians overseas severely, and that is a great achievement without raising taxes.

"Master Master seems to be surrounded, maybe it's not easy for you to see him, sister."

Several women stood together, surrounded by guards from the Military Lord's Mansion.

In addition to Xiao Xiu'er and Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, who has grown up now, also has the opportunity to appear here by virtue of her relationship with Liu Rushi.

Following in the footsteps of Liu Rushi, she was also admitted to the Capital University, but she did not choose to enter the School of Mathematics, but the School of Chemistry.

"It's been a long time since I saw Ling'er and Xue'er." Chen Yuanyuan held a bunch of candied haws in his hand, and looked at Chu Yun's group surrounded by civil and military officials. Officials from the Sixth Department and other departments were eager to see Chu Yun. It was too late to get out for a while.

He had just returned to his home country, and naturally, a group of people and a lot of things were waiting for him.

"This child doesn't have a name yet..." Xiao Xiu'er hugged the boy in her arms dotingly.

Chu Yun didn't know that Xiao Xiu'er gave birth to a boy, and this was his youngest son...

In addition to Xiao Xiuer and Liu Rushi's team, Li Jinde's family happened to be in Tianjin Wei.

At present, the chemical industry zone of the empire is set up in Tianjin Wei, and it has gradually become the new economic pillar here, not just serving as a transit point for the turnover of goods in the capital.

Li Jinde is now a well-known private businessman in the Gyeonggi area, owning 3% of Western Company's shares, and this share alone is worth more than 10 taels of silver.

In addition, Li Jinde now invests in chemical factories, and now has 2 rubber factories and 5 rubber plantations in Batavia, producing rubber raincoats and rain boots and other household products, and can also produce tires to provide parts for engine factories and bicycle shops.

In addition to the rubber industry, Li Jinde also established a dye factory, a soap factory, and a sulfuric acid factory.

His core business is a rubber factory, but he is also experimenting with other areas of the chemical industry.

In fact, the chemical industry had some prototypes in ancient times. Most of the mined products were natural products, such as trona and natural fertilizers. However, in the future, chemical products were produced through artificial chemical reactions, such as dyes, soaps, sulfuric acid and other finished products or industrial raw materials. .

Moreover, the barriers in the chemical industry are still very high. Ordinary businessmen want to hire chemical experts and talents if they want to enter this industry.

Li Jinde once sat in on the School of Chemistry of the Imperial University, and met a group of students there. After they graduated, Li Jinde spent a lot of money to hire them to do research work in his own chemical factory, producing various rubber products, dyes, soap, sulfuric acid and other chemical products.

Li Jinde was taking his family to Tianjinwei to visit his factory. When he heard that Chu Yun was back, he immediately brought his family to the pier to wait.

Chu Yun's behavior of encouraging foreign trade has increased his wealth from 3 taels of silver to 10 taels of silver. Now that he has invested in a chemical plant, he has become a giant businessman. It can be said that Chu Yun has shown him kindness.Regardless of whether he had the chance to meet Chu Yun during this waiting, he would still wait here out of the grace of knowing him.

He is accompanied by his wife Selina and his children, an older daughter and a younger son.

"Father, who are we waiting for here?" Li Jinde's daughter Li Yinger asked him.

"Master Chu Yunchu, he was a kind father to you in the past. You should have met him many times when you were young. Yes, you were still very young at that time, so you might not remember him anymore." Li Jinde said.

"Uncle Chu?" Li Yinger thought for a while, and she should have seen Chu Yun before, but she couldn't remember clearly.

On the contrary, there are a few women who are related to Chu Yun. Because her mother Selina and Xiao Xiuer are good friends, she can often see them.

"I don't know if Master Chu has seen the princess during his trip to Europe... No, it should be Her Majesty the Queen," Selina said.

"If everyone is still alive, we will definitely see them. Bah, I didn't say anything unlucky." Li Jinde said, "I'll see if I can see Master Chu later, even if we can't see us, it's not in vain Wait here."

Chu Yun was tired of dealing with the civil and military officials of the Six Ministries and the military, so he first comforted these officials.

A group of old veterans who first came out with Chu Yun from southern Liaoning are no longer there. Some of the people Chu Yun knew passed away due to illness during Chu Yun's absence.

However, the population of Huaxia has not decreased, and the progress of agriculture has reduced the population pressure. Every year, there are a large number of newborns. They are the future of Huaxia.

Stopping temporarily in Tianjinwei, Chu Yun finished meeting the officials he was supposed to meet and listened to their reports on important matters. Only then did he meet Xiao Xiuer, who had been waiting for him, and his youngest son, even though he was about two years old and still not yet name.

Chu Yun was a little guilty and a little surprised, the safety of Xiao Xiuer's mother and child was the best thing.

"My lord..." Xiao Xiu'er had been very silent and low-key, but when she saw Chu Yun, she couldn't help crying.

Chu Yun didn't know what to say, so he could only say, "I'm back."

"The child doesn't have a name yet, Uncle Chu, you should think about naming it." Chen Yuanyuan said.
