Chapter 961: Li Xiangzhi's Nagasaki Experiences (2)

After breakfast, Zhao Hongyu ordered someone to prepare it.

After Li Xiang and the others had finished eating, they left the City Lord's Mansion under the leadership of Zhao Hongyu and began to head to the Sailor camp.

Walking out of the castle lord's mansion, the group of them came to Nagasaki Street, because to go to the camp of the sailor stationed near Nagasaki Port, they must have to pass through the Nagasaki shopping street.

The streets are bustling with pedestrians, and they are very lively, even more prosperous than when the Japanese ruled in the past.

At the same time, because Nagasaki was stationed here with the Imperial Army's naval divisions, the population increased by tens of thousands. As a result, new taverns and prostitutes were built in Nagasaki, and Nagasaki became much more prosperous than before.

Along the way, Zhao Hongyu and the others saw a lot of buildings that were under construction, but had not yet been completed. The small two-story buildings or single-story buildings of the Japanese people are extending outward from the shopping streets of Nagasaki, and there is a tendency to expand the scale of Nagasaki as a whole.

Because of the increase in population and the fact that the soldiers stationed in the Song Empire were really rich, Nagasaki's economy suddenly increased a lot. Merchants are profit-seeking in nature, and when Nagasaki has such a big profit here, those merchants will definitely be attracted to it.

But there are so many houses in Nagasaki that the new merchants can't find a place to do business, so what can they do?

So, buying land to build a new shop became their choice.

Of course, the land now basically belongs to the Song Empire, so those merchants who want to buy land must deal with the people of the Song Empire.

At the beginning, the land here in Nagasaki was basically controlled by the former castle lord's group. But because these guys ran to death, these lands became ternullius.

Although some of the local wealthy families in Nagasaki wanted to seize it, they extinguished this idea when they saw that the Song Empire was so fierce.

and the wolf-like Song Empire to grab food, that is simply an act of looking for death.

So. Those borderless lands became the pockets of the Song Empire.

Strictly speaking, it is Zhao Hongyu's land.

With this land in place, Nagasaki is definitely going to have to be re-planned.

Nagasaki's original shopping streets and buildings will certainly not be moved, but a new plan will definitely be needed.

The land that the new merchants bought was re-planned.

Under the planning of the Nagasaki government of the Song Empire, buildings and land could not be messed with. Stipulating how much land you occupy and where you build must be strictly enforced, so as to avoid random construction.

Nagasaki is now starting to develop, and everyone will know it in the future. How important it is to have a planned construction.

It's just the beginning, so the effect isn't so obvious yet.

"I've been to Nagasaki many times before, but I admit that Nagasaki is more prosperous. But it's always much worse than the Ming side, but now under the rule of His Highness, I find that Nagasaki is now more lively. ”

After the group rode horses on the street, Li Xiang said to Zhao Hongyu very sincerely.

Although this is very sincere, there is also a small compliment and horses in it. After all, now that he has taken refuge, his identity has become someone else's subordinate, and sometimes he should be complimented.

Li Xiang is no longer young. At his age, what else has he not seen, and there is something he can't figure out.

Say something nice or something, no shame.

If you were a young person, you probably wouldn't do it.

"Oh. What was Nagasaki like before? When I led my army to capture Nagasaki, it seemed that Nagasaki was okay here. ”

Zhao Hongyu's words are a little insincere, how can Nagasaki be compared with Manhattan in the Americas.

Manhattan now has a population of more than 2 million people. The entire city has expanded many times. Even the size can be compared with the city of Beijing in this era.

In particular, there were many ships coming and going in the docks and ports of the Song Empire, and there were as many as three or four hundred merchant ships entering and leaving the docks every day.

Such a bustling port. A city with so many people, especially the whole city with many commercial streets, has enough consumption funds in people's pockets, which is unique in this era.

In particular, Manhattan is also very well equipped with various basic public facilities, as well as street lights and streetcars, which is how other countries compare.

Nagasaki is a small city with a population of less than 200,000, and only a dozen ships enter and leave the port every day, most of them from Goryeo.

There's no way to compare it to Manhattan.

Look at the port on the Manhattan side, where the merchant ships come from every day.

Manhattan is like an international port, and Nagasaki is at best a local port.

It's just that Zhao Hongyu is not easy to say, even if he says it, no one believes it.

There are four or five hundred ocean-going merchant ships a day, and the tonnage of cargo in Tundu is huge, and there is no such prosperity in the Ming Dynasty.

Come to think of it, before they have seen the prosperity of real Manhattan, even if they told Li Xiang about the situation in Manhattan, they would not believe it.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu didn't bother to say it.

Seeing that Zhao Hongyu asked him about the previous situation in Nagasaki, anyway, there is still some distance from the dock now, Li Xiang is also happy to talk to Zhao Hongyu and shorten the distance between the two sides.

Therefore, Li Xiang replied: "Nagasaki is prosperous in the Wa Kingdom, but if it is compared with Quanzhou in the Ming Dynasty, it is much worse......

Zhao Hongyu and his party rode horses and walked on the street, and after the pedestrians on the road saw it, they all retreated to the sides and knelt on the ground. One by one, they bowed their heads, their eyes showing trepidation and respect.

Of course, because they have their heads down, they can't see it in their eyes.

On the side of the Wa Kingdom, people like Zhao Hongyu have a very high status.

Not to mention Zhao Hongyu, even if the soldiers of the Navy and the Army walk on the streets, the people of Nagasaki will respect them as if they were samurai masters.

In particular, the soldiers of the Song Empire were still very rich, so the soldiers of the Song Empire were almost not treated as ancestors by the Nagasaki people.

However, although it is not really offered like an ancestor, it is almost the same.

In these years, the rich one is the uncle.

Especially when you are rich and so fierce, this is definitely much more advanced than the uncle.

Walking down the street, I saw a lot of Imperial soldiers along the way.

They didn't fall to their knees like Japanese people, but they all stepped aside, and then straightened their bodies and raised their hands to march in a salute.

"This is the etiquette in our army, which is different from that of the Ming Dynasty. As a martial artist, knees are very expensive, and there is no need to kneel, which you must keep in mind. ”

When Li Xiang and the others saw the soldiers saluting but not kneeling, they all expressed their curiosity about this.

Because they think that Zhao Hongyu is the crown prince of a country and the future emperor.

These low-level soldiers have to kneel on the ground three times and knock nine times in fear.

However, things were not what they imagined.

"A man has gold under his knees, and he kneels to heaven and to his parents. Except for some major holidays, there is no need to kneel. Zhao Hongyu returned the salute to the soldiers as he walked, and explained to Li Xiang at the same time. Of course, because there are many races in our Song Empire, we must always respect other ethnic groups, so it is okay for someone to kneel if they want to. ”

Li Xiang and the others were not interested in standing and saluting, so when they heard Zhao Hongyu say this, they immediately decided to show their respect and respect for Zhao Hongyu, and for their own people to be able to mix better with the Song Empire in the Americas in the future, so they decided that they would all kneel to Zhao Hongyu in the future.

Besides, isn't it the same on the side of the Ming Dynasty?

There's nothing remarkable about it.

"Actually, there's no way around it." , Zhao Hongyu pretended to be 13 and sighed, at this time he didn't know that Li Xiang and they had already made such a decision. "Since we left the land of our ancestors and went to a place full of barbarian natives, we have forgotten many of the rules of our ancestors."

Zhao Hongyu said this, in fact, to fill in some loopholes in his words.

After all, he claims to be the royal relic of the Song Dynasty, but you can't see any royal shadow from him, so you have to find an excuse to come out.

In fact, he knew that he didn't have to make excuses, and no one would suspect him.

The reason is very simple, because the momentum that exudes from Zhao Hongyu's body is definitely the momentum of the superior at a glance.

Such an imposing momentum, if it were an ordinary person, would never have it.

At least, that's what Li Xiang felt after coming into contact with Zhao Hongyu.

But what Li Xiang didn't know was that as a modern person in another time and space, it was normal for him to have this kind of momentum.

And after a series of educations, no matter how bad you are, for a person in the seventeenth century, you are a high-level intellectual.

Moreover, you know more about the Tao than anyone else in this era.

So, when you face the people of the seventeenth century, you always exude a kind of arrogance that is superior. Even if you deliberately suppress it, it will be revealed.

It's not about your personality, it's something that comes naturally in your bones.

Even if you are a very kind person, you can make people feel this kind of thing.

You simply can't hold it back.

And Li Xiang felt these things from Zhao Hongyu's body.

It's just that Li Xiang thinks that this is because of Zhao Hongyu's unique temperament as a royal child, but it has nothing to do with other aspects.

"I think that my Great Song Dynasty must have experienced a lot of hardships when it was founded in the Americas." , Li Xiang now naturally thinks that he is also Song Min, so he began to say that he was 'our big Song'.

Zhao Hongyu heard this paragraph of Li Xiang's words, and laughed secretly in his heart. (To be continued......)
