Chapter 1153(1/2)
blueprint!
What is certain is that the blueprint drawn by Zhu Guoqiang will definitely make many people excited, not only because the high-speed rail will become the "engine of the Ming Dynasty's economy", but more importantly, the political significance of it is that no one can ignore it.
In the next few hours, Li Cunzhi asked him some questions about high-speed rail from time to time, including both political, economic, and of course political. He didn't even ask about the geometry of the ticket. The price of the ticket is not the most important, just like the "Chiangchao Express", it is more than three times that of ordinary express trains. It's expensive? Don't think it's expensive, it doesn't matter that people can't buy tickets.
Even if it weren't for Li Cunzhi's appearance, Zhu Guoqiang wouldn't have thought of buying the ticket for this express train.
Scarcity is precious.
A few hours later, this train, known as the fastest in the world, drove into the Moscow Railway Station. On the train platform, Li Cunzhi looked at the young man in front of him and said after a long time.
"It's really a pity that I still have some things to do, otherwise it would be nice to be able to talk to you all the way, but I think we'll have a chance to meet again."
“There should be a chance.”
Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.
When saying goodbye, Li Cunzhi said again:
"Okay, let's break up now. You can put away my business card. When you arrive in Nanjing, you must be a guest at home. I still have a lot of things to talk to you."
"goodbye."
What will an encounter on a train turn into?
Zhu Guoqiang didn't know, but he knew very well that his words would definitely leave a very deep impression on the lieutenant general. Perhaps after the war broke out, he could apply those to war or to prepare for war.
I hope it!
Perhaps, this is the only thing I can do for the current Ming Dynasty.
Watching the backs of Li Cunzhi, Lin Sen and their two escorts, leave the platform from the special passage, Zhu Guoqiang sighed slowly.
"Dear, this person must be a big shot, right?"
Nina said.
"That's right!"
Zhu Guoqiang smiled and said.
"Let's go, let's go around Moscow!"
Moscow!
In another world, this is the capital of Russia. In this world, Moscow is just a special city in the western part of the Ming Dynasty. From leaving the train station and taking a taxi to the city center, Moscow left an impression on Zhu Guoqiang... A typical Ming city seems that no matter whether it is Rakshasa or Mongolia, it has left no traces here.
In fact, this is exactly the change brought to this place by Dorgon's Mongolia. The architectural style of Eastern Rome has become extremely rare.
In fact, after Dorgon's death, a long war broke out between Rakshasa and the "Mongolia" because of the inheritance of the Khan throne. The long war exhausted their energy, and finally sent troops to complete the conquest of this place when they were exhausted.
This was the last direct expansion of the country's territory in the Ming Dynasty, with millions of square kilometers of land and tens of millions of people.
What about now?
This is the western province of the Ming Dynasty.
After getting off the car, Zhu Guoqiang unexpectedly discovered that outside was the familiar Red Square, which was the oldest square in Moscow, and the car door was facing the Vasily Braren Church. Although this city is not much different from the Ming Dynasty, many Russian-style buildings have been preserved, including this church and the Kremlin.
"This is Moscow of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Guoqiang said to himself.
While walking around the square, when some girls passed by them, Zhu Guoqiang would not help but look at them a few more times. Their appearances were very beautiful, and many people were carrying traces of mixed-race children. If they were in another world, they would appear on a certain voice, and I don’t know how many men would fascinate! Even Nina was secretly jealous of the appearance of these girls in her heart. She even couldn’t help but hold Zhu Guoqiang’s arm, as if she was afraid that he would be snatched away.
When spreading on the Red Square, Zhu Guoqiang always overlaps the Red Square of another world and is reflected in the square. He looks at this "familiar" place with interest. The History Museum to the north is a typical Byzantine-style building. The east is a large shopping mall, with a somewhat modern building, but a little bit Eastern and Byzantine-style. To the south is the St. Basilly Church composed of nine towers of all sizes, which is very distinctive, which is nicknamed onion-shaped dome, which is the landmark building of Red Square. Next to the church is the Vasilly slope, extending all the way to the banks of the Moscow River.
Since it is familiar and unfamiliar!
While Zhu Guoqiang was looking around, someone next to me patted me on the shoulder. It was Nina. She said in a teasing tone:
"Dear, you seem to like this city very much. If you like it, then let's just settle here!"
"settle down?"
After hearing what she said, Zhu Guoqiang smiled and shook his head.
"It's not necessary to settle down, but I'm afraid I'll leave my household registration here first."
Why do you have to settle in Moscow?
Because this is one of the largest cities in the west of the Ming Dynasty and one of the most populous cities, the city lives with more than 4 million people. Of course, in Northern Shanghai, that is, St. Petersburg, there is a larger population.
As a returned overseas Chinese, it is undoubtedly very appropriate to settle in such a big city. Why is it suitable?
Because it has a large population, convenient transportation, developed economy, and countless job opportunities. What's more, in such cities, people will move out every day.
First place the household registration here, then move out from here, and then Zhu Guoqiang didn't need to worry about his identity at all. After he settled in Nanjing, he fell behind Nanjing in the name of Moscow. If he wanted, he could also go around in a certain city or several cities. After repeated repetitions, his identity was bleached.
"Let your household registration be here?"
Nina looked at him with wide eyes. Perhaps Moscow was also a city in the Ming Dynasty, but for her, she was more eager to go to Nanjing, which was the center of the world.
"Yes, but it's only temporary."
Zhu Guoqiang smiled, and he once again looked around the somewhat familiar and somewhat unfamiliar Red Square. This is his Red Square, no, not his, it is the Red Square of the Ming Dynasty!
The corners of his lips raised lightly, and Zhu Guoqiang smiled slightly.
"It seems that everything is pretty good!"
...
Thick clouds cover the sky above Nanjing like blankets. This is the case in Nanjing every year during the plum rainy season. It is always covered by rain. Everything is slowly and wet. The parks on the banks of the Qinhuai River are always misty, and the water and sky are intertwined into a gray area.
But even so, it will always attract many people to this city.
Nanjing, as the largest city in the world, lives over 10 million people here. Not only is it a large population, it is also the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It is even called the "center of the world" by countless people.
This is indeed the center of the world. At least in a sense, the Ming Dynasty is the world, and the world is the Ming Dynasty. No matter how reluctant the Franks are, they cannot deny this.
However, even the center of the world also has its dark side. For example, in Xiaguan, the courtyards built during the Gansheng period were replaced by six-story small buildings from time to time. These buildings were built by former homeowners. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people come to this city, trying to change their destiny in the center of the world. These people always need housing. In order to rent the house to as many people as possible, the limited land must of course exert its maximum energy.
So I don’t know when the small buildings here are next to each other, so close to each other, so even the sunshine at noon in summer cannot shine on the fifth floor. The buildings here are so close that they can hold hands across the building. This makes many couples successful. Of course, this is also conducive to fire prevention. If a fire occurs, there is no need to escape. Just jump to the next building and escape from the sky.
Of course, these are all jokes.
For the world, such a dark side is something that no one will pay attention to. Of course, no one cares that people living here have to pay one-third of their income to pay expensive rent every month. They live in such an environment, and what they desire is nothing more than another kind of living on the banks of the Qinhuai River, where there are various villas. People living there are either rich or noble or successful people.
Desire, everyone desires success, while some people are born to succeed.
When Li Cunzhi's car parked at the Royal Opera House in Xiaguan, the spotlights of the reporters were lit up. He, who had just inherited his title, appeared in such a public place for the first time, which naturally attracted everyone's attention. Even after he entered the opera house, everyone would get up to greet him when he entered the exclusive private room.
Li Cunzhi has long been used to all this. Whether it is the young master of the past or the current duke of the country, he has long been used to attracting attention.
With Yumi's music, he sat in the exclusive private room on the second floor with a smile, followed everyone, watched the performance on the stage, and slapped the face when he thought it was necessary.
Although there was a smile on his face, Li Cunzhi's heart seemed to be filled with Huanglian soup.
Just today, the budget he made was rejected!
For the past two years, he has been committed to the mechanization of the Ming army. He even formulated an ambitious plan to build a mechanized army of 10,000 tanks in five years.
war!
As a soldier, Li Cunzhi clearly felt the threat of war. The threat from the Frank Empire to the Ming Dynasty was realistic, and he had to prepare for war.
But what is his claim in exchange for?
While applauding slightly, Li Cunzhi sighed.
"Who doesn't like the days of singing and dancing to peace!"
"What does the Duke of the State mean?"
Lin Sen asked.
"It's not interesting, but you have to remember that as long as there is a country, there is no real peace in this world. If you want to have a peaceful life, you're just dreaming!"
Lin Sen nodded and said.
"Yes, my grandfather, that's why the Ming Dynasty needs a powerful army."
"A defensive army?"
Li Cunzhi watched the performances on stage sarcastically. The days when singing and dancing are prosperous always make people feel extremely comfortable.
“Defensive?”
"Yes, it's enough to keep the boundary. We don't hit others, nor are we allowed to hit us... Well, maybe they are planning to build the Great Wall, along the boundary line."
The reason why Li Cunzhi was so dissatisfied was that his proposal to establish a mechanized army was rejected. To be more precise, his idea of establishing an offensive force and national security through active attack was rejected!
Even now in the eyes of some people, he is just a war dealer. Some people mocked him in the newspaper for colluding with the arms giants and trying to incite war to enrich themselves.
Enjoy your personal pocket?
Is that necessary?
"They don't know at all that if they want to ensure the safety of the Celestial Empire, they must kill hidden dangers in the cradle, otherwise..."
Li Cunzhi sneered.
"Frank may be another Jianzhou Guard!"
