Luo Xin was silent, and he also knew these things. He didn't care about those capital and local governments, as well as the big families, and now he had a way to fight against them.

But all of a sudden, nearly 200,000 Cao Ding lost his job, but Luo Xin couldn't do it. There are nearly 200,000 families behind these nearly 200,000 Caoding, and if we can't solve the problem of the nearly 200,000 Caoding's rice bowls, rashly developing sea transportation will indeed cause a series of reactions.

Or even a disaster!

Luo Xin's strength alone is limited, and no matter how strong a person is, he can't fight against all people. If Luo Xin now proposes to use sea freight instead of light transportation, it will be against everyone.

Those with vested interests will never allow such a thing to happen, and Luo Xin will definitely encounter resistance from all previous actions. And this kind of resistance is not only from the government, the family, and even the entire Shilin, but also from nearly 200,000 Cao Ding. In other words, Luo Xin will become a public enemy.

"Alas......" Luo Xin sighed and said, "It's so hard to do something. Problems must be resolved from top to bottom, and only those with vested interests will not be able to lose their interests before reform is possible. ”

"No!" Luo Zhi shook his head and said, "Just let them not lose, they will still suffer great resistance." No, you think. You don't need to change to get benefits, so why change?

All men are inert.

Only if you give more benefits than the original benefits can you get them to agree. ”

Luo Xin shook his head and said: "Yes, and this is still a change in thinking, the most difficult thing in the world to change is thinking." For thousands of years, we have all been accustomed to governing a big country like cooking a small fresh, striving for stability, balance and immobility. Therefore, Xiao He is called an idle phase, and Wang Anshi is called a chaotic country. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Xin looked at Luo Zhi and said with a smile: "Uncle is amazing now." ”

Luo Zhi blushed and said, "After arriving at the place, I knew a lot of difficulties. has also been overshadowed by his subordinates. However, over the years, following you, I have seen your hands turn into clouds and hands for rain, and I have not learned anything else, but I have learned to be calm and not chaotic. Slowly, a solution was found. This calms down, but I feel that it was very ridiculous before, and I like life now, although sometimes I think about the kingdom and feel very tired, but I feel that life is very energetic. ”

"People just have to live with energy!"

"Hahaha......" The uncle and nephew laughed.

When the laughter was over, Luo Xin looked at the blocked boats on the canal and said:

"But shipping is the trend of the future, even if you can't replace shipping now, you need to make some preparations."

Luo Zhi thought for a moment and said: "I have been an official in Nanjing all these years, but I have come into contact with a few friends, and when I chat, I listened to them. ”

Luo Xin recalled: "Well, I've heard of it too, but it's very unclear. It seems to be some kind of Jiaolai River Kaido or something. ”

"Yes, it's the Jiaolai River Seaway." Luo Zhidao.

"You know?" Luo Xin's eyes lit up.

"I don't know very well, but when I was drinking with a few friends, when I was chatting, they talked about something. Let me think...... Well, it seems that one year, the Yellow River flooded, and the sediment washed into the canal, blocking the canal, and it blocked it for dozens of miles. This was a complete interruption of the transport. Some people in the DPRK and China proposed to take Jiaolai by sea. But there are many obstacles, if I want to say that the benefits are not well distributed, and in the end, it will not be done. ”

Luo Xin recalled the terrain, and finally returned to the cabin, dipped his fingers in the tea on the table, and drew a map according to his memory.

"That's how it should be!" Luo Xin swiped his finger on the map he had drawn: "Use the Jiaohe waterway to lead to the sea and land of Laizhou Bay, so as to shorten the sea route from Jiangnan to Beijing. There was no need to take a detour to the ocean, which saved costs and lightened the burden on the canal, and as shipping matured, it was possible to replace it.

It's a good plan, but it's a pity to give it up like that. By the way, are your friends familiar with the Jiaolai Haidao at the beginning? ”

Luo Zhi was surprised: "No, do you really want to use sea transportation instead of Cao Yun?" No, it doesn't work. ”

Luo Xin waved his hand and said: "Uncle, I didn't say that this plan would be launched immediately, but in the next fifty years, or even a hundred years, there will be no war in the Ming Dynasty." What does it mean to be a Ming without war, do you know? ”

"What does that mean?" Luo Zhi was a little confused.

"It means a burst in the number of people. In 30 years, the population will double. Fifty years, a hundred years? At that time, Caoyun simply could not afford the ability of transportation, and at that time, sea transportation became inevitable. Maybe it won't take that long, maybe it will only take ten or twenty years, and Caoyun won't have that ability. It is necessary to find new ways to share the burden of transportation for water transportation. At that time, it was not me who worked hard to implement it, but those big families and places had to take the initiative to find a way. So, I'm just going to prepare in advance and push it when necessary. ”

"That's it!" Luo Zhi thought for a moment and said, "There are a few who know some, but the ones who know the most...... The more there is a person. This person is not very good in Nanjing, not because he has a bad character, but because he is a nerd who knows how to study water conservancy all day long. ”

Luo Xin's eyes lit up and said, "I need such a person now!" Is he still in Nanjing? ”

"Well, it's still there!" Luo Zhi nodded.

Luo Zhi thought for a moment and said, "There's no urgency about this, let's find a time to meet." ”

Hearing Luo Xin say that he was not in a hurry, Luo Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief, which showed that Luo Xin did not have the idea of opening the island immediately. He was really afraid of Luo Xin, over the years, Luo Xin has had ups and downs, and he is simply walking a tightrope. Now that the honor and disgrace of the Luo family are pinned on Luo Xin, he is really afraid that something will happen to Luo Xin.

As the old saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and Luo Zhi is no longer the kind of person with a small vision in the countryside. With Luo Xin, Zhou Yu, Zhang Xun, Liu Xiuwen and a group of other outstanding people, my heart has also calmed down and my eyes have been opened. Pondering what Luo Xin has done over the years, while worrying and shocking, I also deeply admired Luo Xin and learned a lot from Luo Xin.

Along the way, Luo Xin and Luo Zhi were communicating every day. Luo Xin really looked down on Luo Zhi before, but this meeting made Luo Xin impressed. Luo Zhi has his own ideas, and when he encounters problems, he also knows how to think carefully first, and no longer talks about it, and as Luo Xin's uncle, Luo Zhi has no elders at all, but is like a student, asking Luo Xin for advice seriously. He even told Luo Xin in detail about the various problems he had encountered in Nanjing over the years, as well as the process he had solved, and asked Luo Xin to analyze what he had done and what shortcomings he had.
