The world is so big, I want to go and see it!

In another world, Zhu Guoqiang of course also longed for poetry and the distance, and also wanted to go to all parts of the world to see. However, all the beauty in the world is very expensive, and the travel fare and tickets to the stars and sea are at most just thinking about it.

And in this world, Zhu Guoqiang is not short of money.

Although "the emperor is rich in all over the world" is just a function word, as the emperor, Zhu Guoqiang is definitely the richest man in the world. One thing that is certain is that this will not change at all in the next few hundred years or even thousands of years.

In fact, as early as when he ascended the throne and became emperor, Zhu Guoqiang had considered the financial issues of the royal family very seriously. As long as he thought of the emperors from Wanli to Chongzhen, he was still scared. However, like the Qing Dynasty, the way the national treasury was used as the inner treasury was by no means what he wanted to see. Therefore, when he ascended the throne, he seriously considered the issue of "making money".

Like anyone who has experienced the era of large-scale infrastructure, when he was built in Nanjing Guodu, Zhu Guoqiang deliberately left many industries for the royal family in the construction of the imperial city.

When planning the imperial city, Zhu Guoqiang specially demolished all the houses of Chengtian Gate to Hongwu Gate, that is, on both sides of Chang'an Gate, which originally belonged to the Five Army Governor's Office, the Clan Mansion, the Six Ministry, the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial Hospital and other yamen, thus freeing up a large area of ​​land. It is a prime location in the center of the imperial capital and a complete center of the universe.

Under Zhu Guoqiang's arrangement, this land will be used to build houses and shops, and will be used as a new commercial area! The owner of this land is of course the Ming Dynasty Royal!

As for the six ministries, the Governor's Office of the Five Army and other yamen, they were moved to the imperial city, originally belonged to the inner palace, the inner palace, and the eunuch's office of Nanjing. This also solved the land problem of the various ministries' yamen.

Secondly, a large number of so-called "Liudu Messengers" residences were confiscated inside and outside Nanjing. Although most of the city were rewarded to Qian Sheng's military meritorious officials, other businesses around the city were left to the royal family.

Moreover, in the "city and street correction" projects such as widening streets and expanding sewers, the Office of the Internal Affairs has also directly invested in the construction of a large number of street buildings. Although those areas are not as good as the center of the universe, they are definitely prosperous commercial areas.

During the construction of the railway, in addition to directly investing in the railway, Royal also invested in commercial real estate near the railway station. In addition, a series of commercial enterprise investments such as mines, iron plants, machinery plants, shipyards, yarn mills, etc.

By the fifty years of Qian Sheng, the annual income of the inner warehouse even exceeded 30 million taels!

This does not include the royal family in the Roman wilderness (Siberia), Kuwait City and the vast land on the west coast of the Persian Gulf. What is sand? No, there is a large amount of oil buried there, and the wealth they bring in in the future is beyond the world's imagination. Even now, because of the prevalence of kerosene lamps, Kuwait City oil can bring billions of wealth to the royal family.

Well, Baku...

Well, this does not include the treasures of various countries arranged in the Royal Museum of Nanjing.

It seems that the royal family is really not short of money!

It's impossible to lose money anymore!

At least in the fifty years of Qiansheng, Zhu Guoqiang really turned "the emperor is rich in the world" into reality.

But even in this situation, Zhu Guoqiang, who was over 70 years old, suddenly realized that there was something that was so big in the world, but he never went to see it!

When it was late at night, Zhu Guoqiang walked to the study and was in the bright electric light. Due to vision problems, Zhu Guoqiang finally introduced the electric light into this world. While the electric light dispelled the darkness, it was also changing the world bit by bit.

In the study, Zhu Guoqiang stood in front of the world map the size of a wall. This "Kunyu All Nations Map" is a new version of the 50th Year of Gan Sheng.

"The world is really big!"

Although the world is really big, you can still clearly see the land of the Ming Dynasty. From when, the "Kunyu Wanguo Map" published by the Ming Dynasty usually marks the territory of the empire in red, allowing people to clearly understand the global influence of this huge empire.

From the map, you can clearly see that this red color spreads from the former Central Plains to Southeast Asia, India, Ceylon, the Middle East, West Asia, Egypt, Crimea, Southern Europe, Venice, the British Isles, northwestern France, and the entire North America! Looking south, from the Cape of Good Hope to the Southern Continent (Australia), New Zealand and countless islands, the territory of the Ming Empire is all in the 24 time zones on the earth.

"The sun will never set in my territory."

Zhu Guoqiang murmured the "Empire that never sets" he created. The Romans spent three hundred years establishing their world hegemony. But what about themselves? It only took less than thirty years!

But I spent thirty years to establish this world empire, but I have never been involved in other parts of this world empire.

"Hey, the world is so big, I want to go and see it too!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Guoqiang sighed.

In the past few decades, he has worked diligently to create this empire and even used the railway... With the light, Zhu Guoqiang looked at the red area that almost enveloped the world. Among the dozens of railways that stretched out with Nanjing as the center, the Ming Dynasty and the vassal states built hundreds of thousands of miles of railways. From Nanjing, they could reach Guangxi all the way west, from Guangxi to Nantianmen, or from Changsha to Kunming, from Kunming to Chenghua Province (Myanmar), and then to the north, they could enter the Tianzhu State of the vassal states. There were fifty-six princes of the Ming Dynasty, including Zhu Guoqiang's son, his grandson, and of course other clan relatives.

The railway from Mumbai to the northwest, you can enter Persia, from Persia to Babylon, from West to Amman to Egypt, from North to Constantinople, then cross the continent to Europe, enter Greece, and Balkans...

"Oriental Express, Oriental Express..."

Zhu Guoqiang couldn't help but mutter the name. This express train is not the train that is famous in another world, but a luxury train. This high-speed train with speeds of more than 100 miles per hour connects the Ming Dynasty and all over the country on the railway line, and has always been exclusive to the rich.

"Maybe, I should go and see..."

As Zhu Guoqiang muttered to himself, a charming voice came from behind him.

"Your Majesty, if you want to, why not go and take a look?"

Without looking back, Zhu Guoqiang knew who was behind him, and he was the nobleman from the princes of the Indian country. His sons were filial and they expressed their loyalty by paying tribute every year, including local beauties.

Looking back, Zhu Guoqiang smiled and said with a charming and seductive body.

"Guy Qing, do you want to go back to Qingguo to have a look?"

"Return to Qingguo?"

The face of Concubine Qing, which obviously had a mixed Chinese and foreign race, immediately showed surprise. Since she came to the Ming Dynasty at the age of sixteen, she has not returned to Qingguo for ten years.

Qingguo...that is her hometown!

"Yes, I have been governing the country for fifty years, and it is time to go out and see the Ming Dynasty under my rule!"

Looking at Guiren Qing, Zhu Guoqiang smiled and said,

"But, Your Majesty, what should I do about state affairs?"

"The prince has been in charge of the country for ten years. I am here or not!"

Looking at Guiren Qing with a smile, Zhu Guoqiang suddenly said.

"Guy Qing, have you ever run away from home?"

"Go out of home?"

"right!"

Zhu Guoqiang picked up the pen casually and wrote on the map.

"The world is so big, I want to go and see..."

Looking at the words written by His Majesty on the map, Concubine Qing's face was full of suspicion.

"His Majesty?"

"Hurry, just clean up and leave the palace with me!"

Half an hour later, looking at Guiren Qing who was wearing a plain skirt, Zhu Guoqiang nodded with a smile.

"Your outfit is not eye-catching. By the way, Concubine Qing, your boudoir name is..."

"Reply to Your Majesty, my concubine's name is Yu'er."

Yu'er... seems a little familiar.

"Your Majesty, do you want to leave a letter to the prince?"

"Stayed."

"Your Majesty, how can we get out now?"

"Go to the underground passage!"

There is an "underground passage" connected to the outside world in the palace, and there is a secret passage in the imperial study room leading to the outside world. "Take Guiren Qing... No, take Yu'er and leave the imperial city through the underground passage. When he walked out of the other karma outside the imperial city, although it was late at night, Zhu Guoqiang seemed a little excited.

I have run away from home now!

Thinking of this, the mind of Zhu Guoqiang's mind, Sinara, the daughter of Shah Jahan, the last emperor of the Mughal Empire. Sinara ran away from home to the Ming Dynasty decades ago, and later became his own concubine.

Thinking of this, Que Yue's mood suddenly became a little heavy.

An hour later, Zhu Guoqiang and Yu'er arrived at the train station. In the station, it was not uncommon for old couples like them, but they were still very eye-catching. There were many people in the station, and people from all directions passed by them. At most, they just took a look, and then rushed to the various exits of the station, and went their separate ways.

The Imperial Capital Railway Station is always so lively.

Soon, Zhu Guoqiang got his wish and bought a train ticket for the Orient Express train ticket from Nanjing to Constantinople, which means entering Constantinople through the southwest, India, Persia, and Babylon.

There are less than 200 passengers in this train. His first class may not be compared with the Royal Special Train, but it is definitely luxurious. It has a spacious private room with a living room, which is very comfortable.

Let's have a nap first!

The train will have to wait for a few more hours.

By the time I woke up again, it was already dawn.

Being next to the glass window of the super large landscape, Zhu Guoqiang couldn't help but imagine the scenery along the way. He could get off at any time as long as he wanted and then change to the Orient Express, which will last up to one month later. Such a train trip is not just on the train.

"This time, we can have a good look at Daming!"

Just as Zhu Guoqiang said this, it was like some kind of induction. He looked up at the door of the private room.

It seems that someone is coming.

After entering the carriage, Zhu Heyu walked along the carriage corridor. When he walked to a private room door, he knocked on it twice.

A calm and composed voice sounded from the door:

"Come in."

Listening to the words coming from behind the door, Zhu Heyu sighed, then pushed the door open and walked in.

"Father."

After entering the private room, Zhu Heyu said.

"If you want to go out, you don't have to take this kind of train at all."

The royal family has its own train and cruise ship. The father had no need to take such a civilian train, and it was not necessary for him to take the same civilian train without escorts.

“No need.”
