Also is the eighteenth day of the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the "North and South Zhili" railway groundbreaking ceremony sang and danced, the Emperor Zhongxing personally cut the ribbon in the sound of firecrackers, this cross-era project will bring a new industrial revolution to the Ming Dynasty.

The "North-South Zhili" Railway is wholly-owned by the "Daming Railway" joint-stock company, and the funds have been successfully resolved through the fundraising.

Because Huang Sheng has been guiding the healthy development of the capital market and strangling a lot of malicious speculation in infancy, there are now more than 70 listed companies invested by investors, and there is no case of losing all their capital, and the rate of return is as high as 90 percent of the one-year fixed interest of the big money bank.

"Daming Railway" issued 100 million shares at one time, raising 100 million silver coins, Huang Sheng did not roll up his sleeves to shout for the "Daming Railway", he just announced that he would use his internal funds to pay 30 million silver coins to participate in the placement.

Da Ming under the management of Zhongxing Emperor must strive to be fair, open and just, even Huang Sheng himself cannot use his power to buy the original shares, and must also place them in accordance with the stock offering charter.

As soon as the news was released, almost all the idle funds poured into the "Huaxia Big Money Village", and the silver coins paid for the "Daming Railway" stock were as high as more than 200 million yuan.

Of course, the final result was very happy, and the 100 million silver coins for the construction of the "North-South Zhili" railway were in place within five days, and Huang Sheng only bought 12 million shares.

Because in line with the principle of sharing benefits for the whole people, too many small people who only have a few or a dozen silver coins can be satisfied by buying stocks, and there is no need for placing, but the proportion of large funds obtained is the lowest.

The Han people are the most creative, as long as they usher in peace, they will definitely be able to create a prosperous era, which has little to do with the merits of the rulers, otherwise how to explain the "prosperous Kangqian era" advocated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty?

Could it be that a semi-feudal and semi-slave social system is a good system in line with national conditions? Could it be that the emperor who raised literary prisons, burned scientific works, and spared no effort to fool the people was a generation of Ming monarchs?

How to be a good emperor of the Han people is too easy. Keeping power in the cage of the system is the most crucial. In fact, it can be understood that if officials at all levels are well managed, the country will have long-term peace and stability.

In particular, those in power should not toss the common people blindly, and policies should not be changed overnight, but should respect the private property accumulated by the common people, so that their labor income will not be infringed upon.

Huang Sheng, who became the Emperor of Zhongxing, strictly managed officials, so it was naturally impossible to toss the common people, not only did he do his best to invest in large projects to create employment opportunities, but also encouraged the common people to go out of the mountains and the Central Plains to pan for gold in the Americas.

There was no war in Asia, and the Ming army, armed to the teeth, had not lost the opportunity to fight for the country? Born in sorrow and dying in peace, such a great country cannot be allowed to go into decadence.

The fleet with the dragon flag fluttering set off again, and Huang Mingdao led 150,000 troops of the sea, land and air forces to conquer England again, and then swept across the Caribbean Sea to clear the route for the upcoming Grand Canal.

The Ming Dynasty did not allow black slaves to exist, but it did not mean that a large number of black slaves would not be trafficked to Europe.

Any enemy country is not conducive to the Ming Dynasty, the existence of a rising power must arouse the vigilance of the Ming Dynasty, it is particularly important to engage in strategic balance in Europe, and the Ming national policy of supporting weak and small sanctions must be implemented.

In later generations, South Africa was already a colony of the Ming Empire, and a city "New Yangzhou" has stood in the location of the later Cape Town, which is about 100 miles away from the Cape of Good Hope, the confluence of the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.

The construction of the "New Yangzhou" city here, of course, announced that the Han people owned the world's largest diamond mine, and Kimberlite diamonds were about to become the Ming brand.

There is also a magnificent city under construction, "Song City", which is located in the future Johannesburg, and the choice to build the city here is of course because of the gold mines contained here.

The colonization of the Han people was completely different from that of the Xiyi, and if they took a place, the Han civilization would take root, and everyone who could not be sinicized would be expelled, or shipped to Europe for sale, or driven away.

Now the Ming Dynasty has 2 million square kilometers of land in Africa, and this area increases every year, and the administrative division is divided into two provinces and 18 state capitals.

It is relatively easy to fight for African colonies, the armed forces here are not worth mentioning, but to seek the Middle East you need to slowly figure it out, after all, this is the forefront of the conflict between Christians and *** Christians, there is a reputation for powder kegs, and if you don't handle it properly, you will get into the quagmire of war.

Huang Sheng planned to take over the territory of Kuwait in the future and gain a foothold in the Persian Gulf by the time of the next five-year plan.

There's no way, the oil contained here is too greedy, and it's too late to regret it if you don't start early!

In the hot production, the first five years of the reign of the Emperor Zhongxing have passed, the "North-South Zhili" railway has been opened to traffic, this railway is still extending to the south and north, and finally the terminal station in the north will be on the shore of Lake Baikal, and the terminal station in the south is naturally the capital of the Ming Dynasty "New Hangzhou".

Due to the fact that the original Ming Jingshi was too far north, the necessity of the Son of Heaven to guard the country has now been completely lost. Because the Ming Empire of the Emperor Zhongxing is extremely vast, the country is far away on the Caspian Sea, and there are three puppet states outside the national border as buffer states.

The three countries are all composed of horseback peoples, one was given the name "Houxiong" Khanate by Emperor Zhongxing, the main ethnic groups are Mongols, Tatars, Turks, etc., and the other is the "Uighur" Khanate, which of course is a country with West Asian characteristics.

The strongest of the three countries is, of course, the "Western Qing" Khanate, who was canonized by the Zhongxing Emperor, swore allegiance, and he continued to burn and loot westward under the support of the Ming Dynasty, and now there are one million yellow-braided Aha in the country.

In the past five years, the Ming army launched a military campaign to sweep through the northwest, and all the ethnic groups that could not be separated by the Han people were politely expelled to the three khanates of the "Western Qing", "Uighurs" and "Later Xiongnu" on the Caspian Sea.

Huang Sheng was already running a brand new city as the national capital, and the name of the city was "Daming City".

"Daming City" is the capital of the Ming Empire, accompanied by "New Hangzhou" and "Beiping City", the original capital of Nanzhili Nanjing, changed to Jiangnan Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, that is, the seat of the highest organ of the provincial-level administrative region.

In the past five years, Songjiang Mansion has become a hot spot for investment, because the "Daming City" is not far from Songjiang Mansion City, and the management of the Wusong River, a tributary of the Huangpu River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, is also being carried out day and night.

When "Daming City" became the national capital, three seaports that could dock battleships with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons would play a role, and inland river transportation could be navigable passenger ships and cargo ships with a displacement of 300 tons, and they could go directly to Suzhou City.

Huang Sheng knew that the development of China's largest city in later generations had historical accidents, and it was inseparable from the colonization of foreign powers.

Therefore, Huang Sheng simply built the "Daming City" here as the national capital, and believed that it would usher in vigorous development here, and the prosperity would surpass the "New Hangzhou", Nanjing, and "Beiping City" in less than ten years to become the largest city in the Ming Empire.

……

The Han nation, which has a vast territory, has entered a new era, and the sun never sets on the empire.

In the past 20 years, imperial capitalism with Ming characteristics has gradually matured, and the form of the joint-stock system has been recognized by 400 million Han people.

The "Hanwei" canal, which connects the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, is also a joint-stock system, and the number of Han investors who enjoy considerable dividends is as high as 10 million.

Central America has been completely Damingxin, North America and South America have also been encroached on nearly half, Africa's Damingxin land has reached 3 million square kilometers, and the islands of Oceania have been completely covered......

The railway mileage of the Ming Dynasty has exceeded 50,000 miles, the steam engine locomotive is constantly updated, and the railway speed is being demonstrated.

With a population of more than 3 million, "Daming City" is naturally the largest metropolis in the world today, with a pleasant climate and four distinct seasons, and the most talked-about thing is the convenient transportation.

After 20 years of painstaking management, the transportation network formed by sea roads, high-speed roads, inland waterways and railways has made the "Daming City" extend in all directions, and the feng shui treasure land where businessmen gather will naturally prosper.

On the shore of the Caspian Sea, the fiery Ming cavalry roared past, and the white-skinned Aha with yellow and yellow braids knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head......

On the "Emperor" thermodynamic battleship with a displacement of 5,000 tons, Huang Sheng, who had already allowed the crown prince to succeed to the throne and become the emperor, copied mahjong with Zhu Youzhen, Wang Chengen, and the eunuch "Xiao Shunzi".

Zhu Youzhen has traveled back and forth to the Americas, Europe, and Africa many times over the years, and he has also been to New Zealand and Australia, which have become the land of Daming Xin, and of course, these places now have names that are in line with Han culture.

He was actually the same age as Huang Sheng, and he was especially happy to get the opportunity to accompany the Emperor Taishang to the sea to inspect overseas letters.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Huang Sheng, who was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, now that the Ming Empire Haiqing Heyan, Xiyi, Tartar, and Dongnu are all yesterday's yellow flowers, and hundreds of millions of Han people have plenty of food and clothing, the minister can't understand why Your Majesty is retreating bravely in this spring and autumn heyday?" ”

Zhu Youzhen asked himself, the days of King Xinwang in the past 20 years were much happier than the days of Emperor Chongzhen in the 17th year, and he watched the Ming Empire, which was rich and strong, become the empire on which the sun never sets, the only superpower.

He thought that only the Emperor Zhongxing could dominate the world, and he was worried that Huang Sheng would lose the momentum of development if the Ming Empire was not in power, and today he finally had the opportunity to raise the questions in his heart.

Huang Sheng looked at Zhu Youzhen, and then at "Xiao Shunzi", and smiled secretly in his heart, if he hadn't been born to reorganize the Ming Dynasty, how could there be Emperor Chongzhen and Emperor Shunzhi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to accompany him to play mahjong for recreation?

Huang Sheng said to the young eunuch who was playing mahjong with low eyebrows and trembling eyes: "Xiao Shunzi, has the 'Xiqing' New Year's coin been paid on time this year?" ”

"Xiao Shunzi" saw the emperor's question, and hurriedly stood up and bent down and said: "Slave and maid back to the emperor, last year, those Tunguska savages were short of the year's coins, and my Ming cavalry entered the land of the 'Western Qing' for five hundred miles, and Haoge knelt down to ask for guilt, and this year's New Year's coins were sent early, and thirty-six blond-haired and blue-eyed orchids were also sent. ”

Huang Sheng nodded and said: "Those barbarians are slaves, and they have to be beaten and beaten from time to time. ”

Xiao Shunzi said flatteringly with a sharp voice: "Emperor Shengming, that Haoge slave is a cheap bone, and if you dare to anger me, you will definitely beat them to the end of the country and the species." ”

Huang Sheng waved his hand, and Wang Chengen and Xiao Shunzi immediately retreated.

Seeing that there was no one else, Huang Sheng said: "King Xin, I have been pondering whether to establish the heir to the throne in the form of legislation, and stipulate that the Ming Emperor cannot let the crown prince succeed to the throne after his death. Wouldn't it be more conducive for the old emperor to put the young emperor on his horse and give him another ride? ”

This question was too sudden, and the outspoken Zhu Youzhen didn't know how to answer, so he muttered for a long time and said: "Your Majesty has great wisdom, and the minister thinks so." ”

Huang Sheng knows that there is no perfect social system in the world, and imperial capitalism with Ming characteristics is not a good system, but this does not matter, as long as the Han nation is self-respecting, self-reliant, and never puts down its arms, who else will the world be?
