Gao Huan got off the train and was warmly welcomed by Yangzhou officials and gentry.

Yangzhou magistrate Zhang Guowei led a group of officials and gentry to wait at the station. When he saw the special train entering the platform, he couldn't help but sort out his official robe, and the band beat a cheerful music.

At this time, Gao Huan put on his official robe in the special train, and Yang Yan came forward to report: "Your Majesty, the prefect of Yangzhou led a group of officials and gentry to welcome him on the platform."

Gao Huan stroked his beard. He was in a hurry to go back to Nanjing and did not want to stay in Yangzhou.

However, since the Yangzhou officials and gentry have arrived, it is a bit unreasonable for him not to show up, so he still has to give them some face.

"Carry it out and get off the car!" Gao Huan could only say lightly.

At this time, on the platform, Zhang Guowei and others stretched their necks to look around.

"Zhang Futai is related to the election. We must let His Majesty stay in Yangzhou no matter what, so that His Majesty can see the development of our private enterprises and help Mr. Chen as the chief assistant." said a well-dressed middle-aged businessman.

Yangzhou is the economic center of Jiangbei, with strong private capital, and their target of support is Chen Zilong of the Jiangnan School.

Now that the Councillor's term is changing, Yangzhou's businessmen hope to gain some favorable impressions for Chen Zilong by showing their strength and contribution to Yangzhou's economy.

After all, the so-called push is the emperor who made the final decision.

"Yes! Master Duge is not bad, but his policies limit our development. Those state-owned assets companies are inefficient and rigid, but control resources. They are purely a waste and have no benefits to the economy."

Yangzhou, Suzhou and Shanghai are alliances and places where merchants gather. There are a large number of new bourgeoisie who urgently need the government to loosen their ties and are eager to gain more power and thus influence the court's policies.

As the head of the imperial court and Yangzhou, Zhang Guowei was very polite to these merchants, "Well, my government does its best."

This time, Gao Huan was eager to return to Jiangnan from Eastern Europe, mainly because of one thing, that is, the Council of the Chinese Alliance, it was time for the change of term to be promoted.

After Li Yan stepped down, Du Yinxi became the leader of the political affairs, and has been working in this position for many years.

Gao Huan is quite satisfied with Du Yinxi's performance over the years. Under his rule, the alliance's economy has developed, and Jiangnan capital has been suppressed. The state-owned economy has always firmly controlled the lifeline of the economy.

Therefore, Gao Huan's meaning is that he hopes that Du Yinxi can do another term.

This time, I guess it's just a formality. After all, Du Yinxi's achievements are there, so there should be no problem choosing.

At this time, everyone was talking, the train door was opened, and Zhang Guowei and others immediately calmed down.

"I welcome your Majesty!"

When Gao Huan appeared at the door, everyone saluted.

"You don't have to be too polite!" Gao Huan smiled and said, "I said, I want to return to Nanjing directly, why do you come to welcome you?"

"Your Majesty, the gentry and merchants in Yangzhou heard that Your Majesty has returned, and they must come to receive him. They want to keep Your Majesty resting in Yangzhou for a few days to see the economic development of our Yangzhou." Zhang Guowei smiled and said, "I hope Your Majesty can give us some advice."

Gao Huan glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Then I will give you some advice. Yangzhou has developed well over the years, and its economy is the best in Jiangbei. But you cannot be proud. While developing, you must also protect the environment as much as possible."

As he said that, Gao Huan pointed to the sky, "You look at the sky, it's gray. Both the government and the company should pay attention to governance and prevent disorderly pollution."

Zhang Guowei was stunned for a moment. Obviously, he did not have any concepts in this regard.

Seeing this, Gao Huan didn't plan to say much. He planned to discuss countermeasures after returning to Nanjing, and then summoned officials to study to make them aware of environmental problems.

Now that the industrialization of the China Alliance is at the forefront, there is no need to be so anxious to develop. No one in front of us can let the alliance catch up. It is completely possible to make reasonable arrangements. Where it should be slow, you can also slow down and pursue high-quality development.

While Zhang Guowei was thinking about Gao Huan's words, Gao Huan continued: "I will not stay in Yangzhou this time. I have been on the expedition for a year, and Nanjing affairs have accumulated, and the change of the Council of the Council is also coincident with the change of the term of the Council. I need to deal with it. I have appreciated your kindness."

Seeing Gao Huan say this, Zhang Guowei and many merchants dared not force themselves to stay, so he could only give some gifts prepared by Yangzhou merchants, and then watch Gao Huan board the carriage and head to Guazhou Ferry.

At this time, the Guazhou Ferry is still one of the busiest ferries on the Yangtze River.

Now Jiangnan is the center of the industrialization of the China Alliance, and Jiangnan does not produce much industrialized energy coal.

This requires the transportation of coal from other provinces, and the main supply areas of coal in Jiangnan are in the north.

Some of these coals are transported by sea, some are transported by Grand Canal, and some are transported by railway to Yangzhou.

When you take the Grand Canal and the railway, you need to transfer from Guazhou Ferry to the south bank, so Guazhou Ferry is extremely busy, and the originally clear river water around you has turned pitch black.

The rapid economic development has benefited many gentry and merchants in the China Alliance. They have great support for industrialization, but many people and scholars are heartbroken when they see the clear mountains and clear waters becoming what they are now.

However, at this time, everyone values ​​interests, and the environment is not the mainstream, and it is not appropriate to propose to protect the environment and give up development.

The carriage Gao Huan was riding all the way to Guazhou Ferry, and saw a huge steamship, which lowered the boards on the bow and laid them on the dock.

At this time, the people waiting for the people across the river, all kinds of big trucks were hustling on the boat, and then they saw the steamship, whistling the whistle, slowly starting, and heading to Zhenjiang Wharf on the south bank.

Gao Huan lifted up the curtain of the car and was a little surprised to see this scene. He didn't expect that the steam ship would be put into commercial use so quickly.

"Is this a ship from China Merchants Shipping Company?" Gao Huan asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, this is the ship of the Shen family, a great merchant of Huizhou." Zhang Guowei, the governor of Yangzhou, explained, "This Shen family is extremely good at doing business. Inland shipping was originally monopolized by China Merchants Shipping Company, but since the Shen family and several other private companies entered Inland Shipping, China Merchants Shipping Company has defeated China Merchants Shipping Company and directly withdrew from Inland Shipping."

Gao Huan was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that private companies could actually develop so quickly that they could defeat the state-owned shipping company.

Seeing Gao Huan's reaction, Zhang Guowei continued: "These private companies dare to fight and fight, have flexible operations, and pay attention to efficiency. After entering inland shipping, they stole a large number of customers from China Merchants Shipping Company."

After hearing this, Gao Huan couldn't help but fall into deep thought. At this moment, another steam ship landed. Zhang Guowei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is a specially arranged ship by the Shen family that he heard that Your Majesty was going to cross the river. "

Gao Huan glanced at Zhang Guowei and probably knew his position.

This ship should have been specially arranged by Zhang Guowei and deliberately chose a private company's ship.

Gao Huan nodded slightly, first instructed Yang Yan and others to get on the boat for inspection, and then took the steamship boarded with his entourage.

At this time, on the Guazhou Ferry Terminal, the merchants who were seeing off looked at the ships leaving, all their faces were calm.

Gao Huan did not enter Yangzhou to rest, but what he said revealed a lot of information.

"It seems that Your Majesty still has prejudice against us!" a businessman said in a deep voice.

Gao Huan's grudges with the gentry and merchants in Jiangnan have been around for a long time. He has always controlled the development of Jiangnan capital and has drawn many rules and regulations for them.

"When His Majesty saw the success of the Shen family, he should realize the strength of our private companies. If the government can allow us to enter the industry controlled by state-owned assets, those state-owned assets companies are no match for us at all!"

"It's good if it weren't for the protection of Master Tuge, they wouldn't even have to drink soup!"

Many businessmen agreed, all of whom felt that state-owned enterprises were inefficient and their private capital was the driving force for the economic development of the China Alliance.

With the development of the Jiangnan economy in recent years, private capital, which had sprouted capital in the late Ming Dynasty, finally grew and wanted to enter the political stage.

~~~~~~~

When Gao Huan arrived in Nanjing, all parties in the North Korea and China were secretly competing for the change of the Council for the Assembly. Even if Gao Huan came back, the fight between them did not stop, but was even more inspiring.

As the election approaches, the originally peaceful factions in the court began to take action in order to send their faction bosses to the Council Council.

Li Yan was in charge for more than ten consecutive years, but now Du Yinxi is not at fault in office. On the contrary, the power of the Chinese Alliance has also expanded unprecedentedly.

It can be said that Li Yan laid the foundation, while Du Yinxi made the China Alliance stronger.

According to the current situation, Du Yinxi will most likely continue to be re-elected and will serve for another term or two.

This made people who were dissatisfied with Du Yinxi feel a little anxious, so they mastered the Jiangnan Department of the Ministry of Justice and the Inspectorate, and then took action to unearth a major corruption case of the Jiangnan Mining Company.

When Li Yan was in power, he promoted state-owned mining, and the court took back the civilian mining rights.

Jiangnan Mining is a state-owned asset holding company. The company has multiple copper mines in Taiping Prefecture, Chizhou Prefecture, but has been in short supply for two consecutive years.

The Inspectorate immediately sent someone to investigate. Without much effort, he dug out a case, involving a large number of Chu Party personnel.

Although Gao Huan was still receiving the information sent by the National Security Bureau during his expedition, he had a certain understanding of the domestic situation, but in the face of the struggles between various factions in the DPRK, Gao Huan still did not immediately make a statement.

On Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing, Gao Huan sat in a dragon boat, looking at the newspapers sent by his subordinates.

After returning to Nanjing, he did not rush to summon ministers. He either accompanied his family or traveled around Nanjing every day, and seemed to have to leave the government and ignore the government.

When the emperor returned to Beijing, the ministers in the court naturally could not pretend not to know. Moreover, at this time of change of leadership, all parties wanted to understand the emperor's attitude, so ministers in the court came to ask for their meeting from time to time, but they were all blocked by him.

These days, Gao Huan never leaves the newspapers every day, read a lot of newspapers every day. If he is tired, he will sleep directly on the boat, and his life is quite comfortable.

On that day, Gao Huan was taking a dragon boat touring the lake. Suddenly, a pleasure boat appeared in the distance, and there was a person standing on the bow of the ship. It was Chen Zilong, the popular candidate for the new leadership of the political affairs.

Gao Huan was reading the newspaper while cooking fire. He looked up at the pleasure boat in the distance, frowned slightly, and said to Yang Yan: "Go and leave."

Yang Yan heard the words and walked out of the cabin, shouted at the faraway boat, and asked them to leave. Chen Zilong on the cabin, but said aloud: "I am traveling to the lake today. I don't want to meet Your Majesty. I also asked Commander Yang to tell you, and I said that Chen Zilong asked to see Your Majesty."

The other party was a cabinet master, and Yang Yan didn't dare to speak harshly, so he could only return the same way and reported: "Your Majesty, it's the cabinet master Chen, and he insisted on asking for your Majesty."

Gao Huan frowned slightly. In order to get close, he took the initiative to hide in Xuanwu Lake. He didn't want anyone to chase him like this.

The reason why Gao Huan didn't see the minister was because his heart was actually quite chaotic.

With the development and industrialization of the Ganchao, the bourgeoisie in the Chinese Alliance is growing rapidly, and Gao Huan is now unable to ignore their existence.

After the bourgeoisie is strong, it will inevitably seek more power and even control the state's regime. This is the trend of historical development and is difficult to change.

Gao Huan returned from Eastern Europe and felt that the bourgeoisie wanted to gain more power and interests, and wanted to share with Gao Huan and govern the power of the country, but Gao Huan could no longer ignore them, their contradictions with themselves.

In fact, when promoting the industrial revolution, Gao Huan thought that there would be such a day and kept thinking about ways again.

This time he used Tsarist Russia to experiment with Tsarist Russia this time, but the reform of Tsarist Russia's monarchy system was not very successful.

Now the bourgeoisie in the Chinese Alliance has grown stronger. If you want to continue to suppress it, it will inevitably trigger their rebound and even give him a bourgeois seizing power.

But if the bourgeoisie is allowed to control the regime, it will not be a good thing for the country and the people.

Now Gao Huan hasn't figured out how to solve this problem, so he hid on the lake and thought about countermeasures.

At this time, Gao Huan pondered for a while, and looked at the pleasure boat in the distance, thinking to himself that Chen Zilong was the spokesperson of Jiangnan’s private capital. Through him, let’s understand the ideas and demands of the Jiangnan bourgeoisie are actually not a bad thing.

As soon as he thought of this, Gao Huan nodded, "Let them lean on it."

Yang Yan got the order and then left the dragon boat, "Gei Master Chen, come on! Your Majesty agrees with you."

After hearing this, Chen Zilong was happy and hurriedly said to his subordinates: "Hurry up, get on."

Soon, the small pleasure boat approached the dragon boat and boarded a boat, and Chen Zilong came over.

After Gao Huan returned to Nanjing, Chen Zilong asked for a meeting many times, but they were all rejected by Gao Huan.

This time, he heard that Gao Huan was on Xuanwu Lake, so he asked someone to rent a pleasure boat and come to bang bang luck. Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor finally agreed to summon him.

At this time, Chen Zilong entered the dragon boat and saw Gao Huan dressed in a normal manner, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I pay homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is so elegant!"

Gao Huan smiled at the hearing: "This time, you have done such a big thing in the court. I am tired of expedition and want to be purified, so I hide in this Xuanwu Lake, not wanting my dear distance to find this place."

Chen Zilong hurriedly accused him of the crime, "This is all the fault of me and others. Please forgive me!"
