With a long whistle, the "Hope" passenger ship slowly sailed in the Yangtze River. Zhu Guoqiang, who was standing on the side of the side, looked at the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge in the distance.

The bridge was built forty years ago. Unlike the Yangtze River Bridge in my memory, it is even taller. Perhaps this is because the Ming Dynasty needs to consider more shipping issues.

The summer of 40 years of Guard.

Zhu Guoqiang finally arrived in Nanjing.

Of course, he did not choose to take the high-speed rail or plane to enter Nanjing, but chose the most traditional tool ferry.

Once upon a time, he took ferries again and again to travel between Nanjing and Laoshan in Jiangbei. At that time, he was the emperor of the empire and the ruler of this huge empire.

And now?

He was just one of the most common people.

"Dad, is this Nanjing?"

At this moment, a little boy beside him looked at the city full of longing. This was his and Nina's son. He was only four years old and longed to come to Nanjing. After all, this is the center of the world.

In fact, not only was he looking at the city, but many people were also looking at the city.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people flock to this city. Among them are college students who have just graduated, ordinary young people who have just received eight years of compulsory education and two years of vocational education. They come to this city with full of longing, hoping to have a new beginning here.

Of course, as the center of the world, it is open to the world, at least to the Chinese world. Any Ming people can come here to settle down. There is no threshold, identity, education and other restrictions. The emperor is the imperial capital of all Ming people. Of course, the Imperial College and other famous schools in Nanjing will never allocate most of the quotas to the people of Nandu.

This is a city full of opportunities. In fact, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other cities are the same, it is just a matter of choice.

When the boat was on the shore, passengers of different ages in the cabin were already impatient. They carried large and small bags of things. The ship shook slightly and the boat approached the dock. As soon as the door opened, passengers from all over the place were crowded into a group and squeezed outward.

Zhu Guoqiang, who had no important matter at all, did not join in the fun with them.

This time he came to Nanjing, he was not very comfortable, and he could not even be interested in anything he did.

Nanjing, in theory, is the most familiar place in the world, and his home, at least his former home. This is naturally very exciting. From Europa to Nanjing, he should have been excited when he arrived at the doorstep, but he felt that his mood was as gray and gloomy as the sky in Nanjing.

Since he was not in a hurry, he didn't want to squeeze with others. He just held his son in his hand and waited patiently for other passengers to get off the boat.

The man was almost gone, so he pulled his son's men off the boat, and a male servant was carrying his luggage.

I was in a heavy mood, so I couldn't talk about relaxing steps. That is, when he got on the boat, he saw someone holding a sign with a sign that read "Mr. Zhu, Hua'an Company."

Looking at the sign that was picking up people, Zhu Guoqiang walked straight over, and there was also their branch in Nanjing. The cars were driving on the streets of Nanjing, just like any metropolis, and the streets here were as crowded.

"Boss, it's the evening rush hour after get off work now, and the road is a bit congested!"

The branch manager explained nervously. He was murmur in his heart.

My uncle, what kind of boat do you do? You can just take the high-speed rail or plane to come over. Then you arrange a hotel for you, but you choose to come by the water.

Could it be that the boss also pays attention to Feng Shui?

"Actually, speaking of this road, this road is not narrow. The street that is 60 meters long is not narrow. With the sidewalks on both sides, it is almost 100 meters long. Yes, the streets in Nanjing during the Gansheng period were called Yijian Street. It was said that it was from here to there, and there was a stone's distance. There was a garden in the middle of the street back then, but now it was gone. It's such a pity, but even if it was so wide, the road still looks a bit narrow now!"

Zhu Guoqiang nodded. The reason why he ordered such a wide street to be built back then was to avoid traffic jams. But he never thought that it would be blocked. Fortunately, the jam was not that strong.

"Perhaps, people at that time didn't expect that there would be so many cars today."

Nanjing, the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, and in the middle of the world, including Jiangbei, there are more than 10 million people. How many cars are there? More than 4 million.

The Ming Dynasty has been the "country on the wheels of cars" in the morning, and this is even more so in Nanjing. More than half of the people live in the suburbs. What do they rely on? It just depends on cars to and from urban areas and suburbs.

Looking at his son lying by the car window looking at Nanjing, Zhu Guoqiang smiled.

"Have the ticket been settled? I will take my children to visit the Ming Museum tomorrow."

The Ming Museum is the largest museum in the world, with cultural relics from all over the world, many of which are trophys obtained by the Ming army conquering various places. To put it in a sentence from later generations, "there are definitely dirt."

Of course, according to Zhu Guoqiang's statement, "This is a proof of the great military achievements of the Ming Dynasty." As for someone to return it in the future, don't even think about it!

If you have the ability, fight a battle.

Anyone who arrives in Nanjing will visit the Ming Museum for a few days, which is definitely a good place to go.

Then Zhu Guoqiang talked a few more words, mostly about the company's affairs, such as preparations for participating in the World Expo.

However, this time he came to Nanjing, he really didn't attend the World Expo for the company.

That electronic computer will definitely cause a sensation at the World Expo, and there will be no surprises. This time he came to Nanjing for that matter and for the threat Fang Zheming gave him.

Although he looked down on that threat, he always had to face some things. Moreover, Zhu Guoqiang came to Nanjing this time to be honest, he wanted to fight against the so-called powerful people.

Just give up the company?

To be honest, Zhu Guoqiang had no idea of ​​giving in at all. Even if he wanted to fight, he would still fight to the death and just admit defeat. Is this his personality?

Perhaps in this world, he is a little person, but when a little person becomes ruthless, it can make people fear it!

A few days later, in the Duke of Jin in Nanjing.

Although he was a little surprised to see Zhu Guoqiang again, Li Cunzhi said overjoyed:

"Brother! Why are you here?"

"Haha, I'm not here to visit you specifically!"

Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

"Come to visit me? Haha, I want to visit you, but I really can't take time during this period. There are too many things to do. By the way, I heard that your company has built an electronic computer? The outside world is very optimistic. How about it? Are you interested in cooperating with the military in this regard?"

"Of course, it's good to cooperate."

Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

"In fact, in terms of microelectronics technology, the military should indeed increase its investment. In the future, it will directly determine the combat effectiveness of the army."

"Well, it's true. In fact, the army has also funded some similar research. We will talk about it later."

Looking at Zhu Guoqiang, Li Cunzhi said.

"Did you encounter any difficulties when you come here this time?"

If it weren't for the difficulty, he probably wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to come to Nanjing.

"Have you heard about it?"

"What did you hear?"

Li Cunzhi asked back.

"You came to visit me thousands of miles away. To be honest, I really don't think you are a person who is tempted by the storm, otherwise you would have come a few years ago. So I calculated with my fingers and calculated what problems you encountered."

"It's about the same."

"Tell me, see if I can help."

Li Cunzhi was very direct. He always had a good impression of the guy in front of him. He would definitely help where he could be busy.

"Actually, it's not a big deal."

Zhu Guoqiang thought for a while and then said.

"I'm here to find you, mainly to know Fang Zheming, a national pension, from you."

In fact, before coming to find Li Cunzhi, Zhu Guoqiang had already found someone to check this person. If he didn't check it, he wouldn't know. Once he checked it... there was really someone. This guy is indeed the director of the National Pension, and he is also a stolen figure in Nanjing. He is a real big shot.

But even such people are just the soundtracks of some people, which makes Zhu Guoqiang cautious.

"Fang Zheming of the National Pension, why did you check him?"

Li Cunzhi asked back.

"I don't know much about this person, but if I'm not wrong, his reputation has always been very good, otherwise he wouldn't have become the executive director of the National Pension."

"oh?"

Zhu Guoqiang said in surprise.

"You mean he has a good reputation."

"This is for sure. You may not know much about it. There are about a thousand directors on the national pension. The ancestral identities of these directors are quite prominent, and many of them are from dragon heroes or important officials in the court. By the way, most of them are civil officials."

"Civil Officer?"

"Yes, let's put it this way, there have always been two groups in the Ming Dynasty, one is the military meritorious officials of Qiansheng, and the other is through the civil servant group. From the Qiansheng period, the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty were actually a balance between the two groups. Unlike the civil servants who were the only one in the Northern Dynasties, the honorary officials could only rely on others. The emperor of the Holy Ancestor regarded the honorary officials as the bones of the Yin Dynasty, and there were always some biases. Compared with civil servants, the honorary officials participated in a lot of investments with His Majesty. Now the so-called chaebol of the Ming Dynasty, let's put it this way, at least 70% of the industries of the honorary officials of the Ming Dynasty..."

This is a fact. Back then, Zhu Guoqiang often brought his honorary ministers to invest together, such as coal mines, railways, docks, and even real estate development would bring those honorary ministers, the royal family ate meat, and everyone drank soup together. Later, when the colonies were expanded, the honorary ministers took the initiative to take out a lot of money.

It is precisely because of this that the royal family and the ministers had long formed a close interest alliance, which of course also brought about a problem, that is, the powerful and powerful in the Ming Dynasty mastered a large amount of wealth, which eventually led to the current chaebol. Zhu Guoqiang was also helpless about this.

Everything has both positive and negative sides. When he made those choices, many things were actually destined.

"But the corresponding civil servants have always been quite dissatisfied with the masters' masters' masters' masters, and even believed that "the benefits of the world are all in the hands of nobles", so they have been trying to crack down on the commercial interests of the masters. Do you know, what is the heaviest knife to cut off the masters?"

"National Annuity?"

"Yes, it's him. What happened back then? Almost all factories do not have pension insurance, nor do they have this insurance or that insurance, but the civil servants passed legislation to make the factory owners suffer a lot of blood!"

While sighing, Li Cunzhi smiled again.

"Of course, I'm not saying that companies should not pay pension insurance, medical insurance, and various insurances such as work-related injuries. But it's not easy to pay money from everyone's pockets. It's the same for the rich and the poor. After all, everyone has resentment for paying for real money."

Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

"It's not easy. Then there must be some conflict between the ministers and civil servants because of this matter, and the core of the conflict is the national pension, right?"
