Chapter 63: The Prosperity of Tiger City

In the face of the great gift that Chen Wenhua gave him, Yang Meng was very satisfied. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

For Chen Wenhua, Yang Meng had already sent Luluo to investigate, and this person turned out to be the nephew of Wang Chengen, the eunuch who accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Wenhua hated the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the core, and in order to avenge his uncle and grandfather, he infiltrated the Qing Dynasty officialdom in an attempt to enter the power center system of the Qing Dynasty.

However, there was a Kangxi, and Chen Wenhua's several actions failed.

Later, Chen Wenhua suddenly discovered that Yang Meng, who was born in Han, had mastered military power, so this guy gritted his teeth and gambled on everything he had, and followed Yang Meng with all his heart.

After Yang Meng named Guangming City, Chen Wenhua secretly guessed Yang Meng's intentions, and when he contacted the construction of Tiger City and the new city, Chen Wenhua immediately understood Yang Meng's disobedience.

Because, Yang Meng did not ask the Qing Dynasty to send people to govern these three cities, but invited the city lord himself, and the city defense generals of the three cities are also Yang Meng's generals.

Chen Wenhua is a political gambler, and this time, he made the right bet.

If Yang Meng didn't think like this, then his head would have to move!

In Guangming City, Yang Meng rested for a day, mainly discussing with Chen Wenhua how to maintain his obscurity.

Leaving the City of Light, the next stop is Tiger City.

This time, it took more than 10 days to walk, and the Kazakh steppe, except for the vast snowy scene, looked very desolate.

However, about 100 miles closer to Tiger City, the population began to dense.

The buildings Yang Meng saw were all brick houses, which was enough to prove that these places had been affected by Tiger City.

After covert visits, these places were inhabited not only by nomadic people, but also by a large number of Han Chinese.

Villages were formed, which invisibly accelerated the integration of ethnic groups, and the social form began to change. The presence of a large number of street markets has given the area more room for development, and Yang Meng even discovered the emergence of meat processing plants.

These meat processing factories basically produce beef and mutton jerky, and the direction of sales is basically Tiger City, a new grassland city!

With the emergence of industry, this is enough to prove that the existence of Tiger City is a very good opportunity, and it is very likely to drive the economic development of the entire Central Asian region.

Yang Meng was still quite excited, and then he quickly whipped up and went straight to Tiger City.

When I arrived at the edge of the city, I saw a huge city towering over the Alashan Pass.

"Your Excellency General, this big city is very good, bigger than the two cities we have seen before, it seems that the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty is indeed true, and I yearn for the capital of the Qing Dynasty even more."

Seeing such a big city, Klose said a little excitedly.

The size of the city far exceeds that of any current European city, and Klose feels like a hillbilly entering the city.

Yang Meng smiled: "There are countless cities like this. Your Excellency General, the alliance between the Kingdom of Prussia and my Qing Dynasty is an extremely correct decision, Your Excellency the General can send a message to the country, so that Prussian merchants can come to Central Asia to do business, and strengthen exchanges, which will be helpful to the Kingdom of Prussia and the Qing Dynasty.

Klose also smiled and said: "The intention of His Excellency the General is exactly the intention of the next, and we can be regarded as coincident." This trip to the East, in the next feeling a lot, the civilization of the East, worthy of our Kingdom of Prussia to learn, Your Excellency General, there is a reluctant request below, I don't know whether to talk about it or not? ”

Yang Meng said: "General Klose, don't be polite to me, just say something you have to say." ”

Klose said: "Your Excellency, I would like to ask Your Excellency the General to send a Qing mission to visit Prussia at a convenient time, and by the way, bring some technical guidance to Prussia, I don't know if Your Excellency the General is willing?" ”

Klose was clearly impressed by the cities he saw along the way, and if Prussia could build such a large city, why should it not be able to increase its national strength rapidly?

Moreover, Klose is also very interested in the building materials of these cities, and the cement thing is really a big shock to him, he went to pick the exposed cement with his own hands, but he couldn't pick it off. used a knife to cut it, and actually cut all the knives with a curl blade.

The current building materials in Europe are obviously not up to this standard, and Klose is eager to learn the manufacturing technology of this building material.

Yang Meng smiled, noncommittal, they couldn't make cement before the industrial revolution in Europe began.

Now, it is possible to make a lot of money, and soon after the start of the industrial revolution in Europe, cement will appear.

Yang Meng said: "Your Excellency, General, this matter is simple, since you and I are allies, our Qing Dynasty will naturally not be stingy." However, this kind of technology must not be introduced to other countries, otherwise, the advantages of our two countries will be lost. ”

Klose hurriedly said: "No, no, the general can rest assured that with the help of the Qing Dynasty, we will build a great Prussian palace on the banks of the Rhine River, so that the entire Holy Roman Empire can worship it." ”

Similarly, Zhu Yong and Eda, who got the news, also quickly went out of the city to greet Yang Meng and his party, and when they saw Yang Meng, they bowed and knelt, which was quite grand.

Seeing the European mission, Zhu Yong and Eda were even more surprised.

Despite its rapid development, Tiger City has yet to receive a single European mission. However, the Central Asian mission, the Persian mission, the Ottoman mission, Zhu Yong and others met with some.

After some introduction, Yang Meng and his entourage entered Tiger City.

Seeing the prosperity of the city, everyone's surprise was written on their faces.

There are more shops in Tiger City than in Guangming City, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going on the streets, although there are still snowflakes in the sky, but the people who come and go are happy.

When he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion and made arrangements, Yang Meng couldn't help but ask, "Old Zhu, why are there so many people in this city?" The streets are all over the place, how many people does Tiger City have today? ”

Zhu Yong said with a smile: "General, the total number of permanent residents last month has exceeded 2 million, which is several times more than we originally thought." And that's not counting the floating population, which would be an even more terrifying figure if added up. To this end, the subordinates built two auxiliary cities on the north and south sides of the Tiger City to alleviate the population pressure in the main urban area. ”

Yang Meng couldn't help but nodded, the geographical location of Tiger City determines its urban development, now there is no war in this area, Chinese silk, tea, porcelain, etc. have flocked here, through here, transported to other regions for sale, and Central Asia, Persia, India and other regions of the material, also flowed here, the role of Tiger City as a transit station, is very important.

"How much is your monthly income?" Yang Meng asked again.
