I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

As soon as he entered Nanjing, Qian Qianyi clearly felt the changes here.

That is, Nanjing City has become more prosperous, tidy and orderly.

In the past, although Nanjing was the capital of the country, there were still some garbage and stench on the streets. There were also some hawkers setting up random stalls and some beggars on both sides of the streets.

However, the previous phenomena, he has not seen now.

After asking a passerby, Qian Qianyi realized that the hawkers who set up stalls were all concentrated in several places, forming a market. The beggars were all arrested to repair the dams. Although they were fortunate, they could have enough to eat.

And the road is clean, because the grandfather of the country has regulations, whoever throws garbage will be punished severely.

At this time, Qian Qianyi also discovered that the ground was different from before.

The ground is hard, the surface is smooth and smooth, and it feels different when walking on it.

After inquiring, Qian Qianyi found out that this is again the credit of the grandfather of the country. It is the cement invented by the grandfather of the country to pave roads and facilitate the people.

With this concrete road, you no longer have to worry about soiling your clothes on rainy days.

After walking for a while, Qian Qianyi came across a carriage. The carriage was slightly different from anything he had seen before, but it wasn't anything new.

Qian Qianyi's response was mediocre, but others were talking about the carriage.

"It's the first BMW car. I heard that sitting on this carriage is as comfortable as sitting on a bed, without any bumps."

"Those who can buy a BMW are either rich or expensive. Our Master Zhang in the east of the city has a big business. It is said that he is worth hundreds of thousands of taels, but he can't buy a BMW because he is not qualified. ."

"It's not surprising that only 30 BMWs were sold in the first batch."

......

A lot of onlookers and discussions also made Qian Qianyi have some interest in this BMW.

There is no bumpy carriage, which is the good news for an old man like him. This time, he fled south from Beijing, and he suffered a lot in the carriage, and his body almost fell apart.

Qian Qianyi continued to walk in the direction of home. He still has a mansion in Nanjing, and even has a wife and concubine. His original wife is the Chen family, and his concubine is a famous one, Liu Ruzhi, one of Qinhuai's eight beauty.

After his surrender, Liu Rushi stayed in Nanjing and did not go north with him.

Passing by a casino, there were all kinds of shouting and shouting. Qian Qianyi went in curiously and found that it was a novel gambling toy, mahjong.

Qian Qianyi watched it for a while, and found that this kind of mahjong is more interesting than simply buying the size. It has many changes and added some strategy.

After leaving the casino and passing by a restaurant, he saw some scholar-like people reading newspapers.

Passing by a luxury jewelry store, a rich lady is choosing perfume and vanity mirrors.

There was no such picture in Nanjing before.

Nanjing has changed a lot.

Qian Qianyi sighed in his heart that he surrendered and left Nanjing in May last year, and it has not even been a year yet.

In less than a year, the changes in Nanjing have given him a sense of strangeness.

And he knew that all this was brought by that Wu Changqing.

After seeing these changes, Qian Qianyi became more and more curious about Wu Changqing.

He didn't even go home immediately, but continued to stroll around the city of Nanjing, wanting to see what Nanjing had become.

"How much is this rice per stone?"

Qian Qianyi came to a rice shop and asked that prices can accurately reflect the living conditions of a place.

"Five coins and one stone."

said the shopkeeper.

This made Qian Qianyi a little surprised. Five coins and one stone was the price of rice during the Taiping period. Nowadays, during times of war, the price of rice generally rises by a few percent.

For example, the price of rice in Beijing costs seven cents and one stone, which is much higher than here.

The price of rice has a direct impact on people's lives.

Afterwards, he asked the prices of cloth, houses and many other commodities.

Qian Qianyi found that the price of all commodities related to people's livelihood is lower than that of Beijing, which means that people can live more easily.

However, the housing price in Nanjing is higher than that of Beijing, and it is also higher than the previous Nanjing, which means that Nanjing is more prosperous, and more people want to live in the city of Nanjing.

All indications show that under the rule of Wu Changqing, the people of Nanjing lived very well, at least better than before.

Qian Qianyi admired the ability to rise up with a hundred people, expand the army by more than 100,000 in less than a year, control the entire Nanzhili, and let the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment.

Qian Qianyi bought a few newspapers and went to a teahouse to read them.

What he bought was Minbao, and Dibao was a newspaper read by government officials, and it was hard to buy in the market.

Qian Qianyi was quite surprised by the first news on the People's Daily, because it reported on the war.

According to common sense, the war is about secrets, and the court will try to keep it secret from the people.

However, the People's Daily under Wu Changqing's rule could report some wars.

Qian Qianyi is worthy of being a person. After reading the first war report, he vaguely guessed Wu Changqing's intention to announce the war.

The first half of the war reported that the Wu army, under the wise leadership of Wu Changqing, recovered the lost homeland of the Ming Dynasty, Wuhu, Tongling and Xuancheng.

In the second half, Fang Guoan, who was in the imperial court, was accused of fighting against the Wu army for his own selfish interests. Finally, fight

The invincible Wu soldiers recovered Xuancheng, allowing the people there to live a good life.

Of course, Qian Qianyi wouldn't be so easily fooled. He didn't believe that the battle between Wu Jun and Fang Guoan represented justice. It was clearly a turf.

This made Qian Qianyi quite emotional. It turns out that Daming is still fighting internally.

What made him even more emotional was that Wu Changqing actually told the people about this kind of infighting and slandered the court. This is clearly to gain the hearts and minds of the people and intend to rebel.

Qian Qianyi suppressed the shock and continued to look down.

The next report is about Wu Changqing's agricultural plan. Wu Changqing said that the high-yield rice is growing well, and that seeds can be provided to the people in the second half of the year, so that everyone can have enough to eat.

This is to win people's hearts again.

Qian Qianyi sighed to himself, but he was also curious whether Wu Changqing's high-yield rice was true. If it is not true, will the people be disappointed if the promise cannot be fulfilled in the future?

If true, it would be terrifying. The food problem has been the biggest problem for mankind for thousands of years. If the people could have enough to eat, there would be no such thing as Li Zicheng's rebellion.

The third report is the expansion plan of the university, and introduces some achievements of the university.

In short, most of the content in the people's newspapers is to brag about Wu Changqing's achievements, and to brag that the current prosperity and stability of the Jiangnan region is much better than before.

Moreover, it is almost the Ming Dynasty that is used as a negative comparison.

The report also revealed some foolish policies of the former Ming Dynasty, and reported many incidents of the surrender of the Ming army.

If not in Nanjing, Qian Qianyi would have doubts that this newspaper was run by the Qing Dynasty, because there is hardly a good word from the Ming Dynasty on it.

Tsk tsk tsk, this Wu Guogong is not a peaceful person.

Qian Qianyi sighed in his heart.
