The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 219
New Year's Eve.

Wang Zhen returned to Beiping from Lushun Forest Farm to celebrate the New Year, and heard Zhou Xing, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, pleaded guilty to the king's mansion.

On the night of his return, his good friend, the Mongolian general Huo Zhen, found out, and came to invite him to drink and wash him off.

"This man has a vicious mind."

Wang Zhen picked up a chopstick of food, suppressed the wine in his mouth, bared his teeth, and said contemptuously.

Fire is really confused.

"He pleaded guilty to the prince, and he seemed very sincere. What's so weird?"

"Humph."

Wang Zhen snorted coldly and explained: "Zhou Xing has a high prestige in Liaodong. Doesn't this attitude resonate with many people?"

"He made such a big commotion, not only can the prince not punish him, but also treat him kindly, otherwise he won't be able to convince others."

After listening to Wang Zhen's explanation, Huo Zhen's eyes widened.

a long time.

Huo Zhen sighed: "You Han people are so thoughtful, with so many twists and turns."

After talking about Zhou Xing, the two had a few drinks, Huo Zhen turned sideways in a weird way, and approached Wang Zhen.

"What?"

Wang Zhen was puzzled and couldn't help asking.

Huo Zhen raised his eyebrows, with a gloating expression, "Two days will be the opening day of the Peking Grand Theater, I invite you to watch a play."

"I'm not going, what's so interesting about the show?"

"No, I have to go. If I don't go, I won't give me face. It's not me, Anda." Huo Zhen said carelessly.

Facing Huo Zhen who is messing around, Wang Zhen has a headache.

night.

His wife and children had already fallen asleep, and Wang Zhen lay on the pillow, unable to sleep at night, staring at the top of the bed, hearing that the Jinzhou Forest Farm was going to be dismantled.

Hearing this rumor made him very worried. Is it because of Li Xueyan's matter that aroused the suspicion of the little prince?

Day two.

morning.

Wang Zhen went to Shizi Mansion on horseback, handed over his badge to the porter steward, and then the steward led him to the guest room to wait.

It didn't take long either.

A little Huangmen came and invited Wang Zhen to the little prince's study.

"The little prince is already in the study so early?" Wang Zhen couldn't help asking the little yellow door in front of him.

He deliberately came early to show his attitude, and was prepared to wait for a long time, but he never expected that the little prince was already in the study.

"The prince and his son are both diligent people."

Xiao Huangmen replied briefly, cherishing words like gold, and said no more.

Since the young prince rectified the Shizi's mansion the year before last, many old people were sent away from the manor and sent to the manor for retirement.

Not to mention the ethos of the Prince's Mansion, the Shizi Mansion has taken on a new look.

in the library.

Zhu Gaochi read the novels from Yingtianfu, one of the many annual gifts from the Guo family, such as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Journey to the West" and so on.

Although the Guo family didn't say it, but the few miscellaneous stories were selected by the Guo family lady for the little prince, knowing that the little prince liked it.

Zhu Gaochi had actually read several books before.

But it's not what it used to be.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi still re-read these books and read them with relish.

As for novels such as "The Romance of the Gods", "The Romance of the West Chamber", "Three Words and Two Pai", and "Jin Ping Mei", they will not appear until the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

"Little prince, Wang Qianhu is here." A voice came from outside the door.

"Please come in."

After a while, Wang Zhen came in, saw Zhu Gaochi behind the desk, hurried forward, and bowed his hands.

"Little lord."

"Please sit down!"

Zhu Gaochi reluctantly put down the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his hand, and looked at Wang Zhen with a smile. He heard that the situation in Lushun this year is gratifying.

"Have you had a hard time along the way?"

"It's not hard."

Wang Zhen then explained, "It only takes one day to take a boat from Lushunkou to Tianjin Wharf, and then take a railway carriage from Tianjin to Peiping.

Zhu Gaochi nodded.

In later generations, the ferry from Lushun to Tianjin only took nine hours, that is, four and a half hours, nearly three times shorter than today.

"A while ago, Li Xueyan left on a boat at Lushun Wharf. Since he didn't receive any news, his subordinates didn't make decisions without authorization."

Wang Zhen suddenly explained.

Zhu Gaochi took a look at Wang Zhen, his attitude was very sincere, Zhu Gaochi didn't want to explore the real thoughts.

Li Xueyan is a celebrity and young.

Taking action against this person will definitely cause an uproar among the literati. If the palace can be separated from the relationship, the person who did the action will definitely be caught.

Zhu Gaochi has his own experience in the way of controlling people.

It's hard to guess people's mind, and it's not beautiful to guess. It's better to frame it with a frame, and it's the safest way to guarantee its interests.

Just like the boss who earns 300 million a month, and the employees below get a salary of [-] a month, but also hope that the employees below will be loyal and work hard, and hope that making a big cake can change the employees' thinking. This is called a fool's dream.

Zhu Gaochi hopes that Wang is really a smart man.

This person's performance in history should be a smart person.

"According to the plan, after the opening of the forestry farm, it will be divided into two, the forestry farm and the ship administration, that is to say, the boat and fishing will be separated from the forestry farm."

Zhu Gaochi asked calmly: "As the person in charge of the forest farm, what do you think of this plan?"

really.

Wang Zhen took a deep breath and thought about it all night last night. He thought about what he should think about, and also thought about what he shouldn't think about.

Now sitting in front of the little prince, Wang Zhen is no longer nervous when the matter is imminent.

"In just a few years, the forest farm grew from nothing to more than 2000 workers, and there were [-] slave laborers."

"Fields, ships, ice caves, salt farms, horse farms, etc. have been opened on islands. No one can predict the abundance of fruit."

Wang Zhen was very respectful, and said in one breath: "All these supply, demand and organization come from the power of China Heavy Industries, not the work of the subordinates, so the arrangement of the little prince is no different from the subordinates."

"Hahaha."

Zhu Gaochi just felt happy and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What I value the most is you. You have to think about things from a higher perspective than ordinary people."

Zhu Gaochi stood up, bypassed the desk, and walked in front of Wang Zhen.

Seeing this, Wang Zhen wanted to stand up. Zhu Gaochi reached out to hold his shoulder, and then patted him lightly.

Feeling the strength on his shoulders, Wang Zhen heaved a sigh of relief, it seems that his answer really satisfied the little prince.

Zhu Gaochi stood with his hands behind him, standing in front of the map.

I need Wang Zhen, but what I need is not just a Wang Zhen.

If Wang Zhen is as good as he has performed in history, then Zhu Gaochi will not treat him badly, but if he really has other thoughts.

So in today's status, Zhu Gaochi can hold up a Wang Zhen, and can also hold up other Li Zhen, Zhou Zhen and the like.

"In my plan, shipping administration is very important, even more important than forest farms."

"The Royal Palace has worked hard and tried every means to establish the Jinzhou Navy, which is also to promote the development of shipping administration."

"So it's not to divide your power, but to make the plate bigger, which actually makes your rights bigger."

Zhu Gaochi turned his head and looked at Wang Zhen with a smile, "It turns out that Jinzhou is not the territory of the palace. Sun Yan was also a polished commander just like you."

"The subordinates are not people who don't know right from wrong, please rest assured, little prince."

Wang Zhen still stood up.

The little prince was kind to others, but he really couldn't keep himself sitting, and the little prince was standing, feeling uncomfortable and always feeling bad.

"Don't worry about temporary gains and losses. Your family has served the palace for generations, and the palace will not treat you badly."

Zhu Gaochi made the promise for the first time, and said sincerely: "Do it well, we are here for everything."

Zhou Xing didn't know how to draw big cakes.

Hearing the words from the heart of the young prince, I was so moved beyond words.
