Chapter 36
Journey to the Ming Dynasty
…
"Su Qing, the company has been proceeding according to the arranged plan recently. The people in the business department will fix the tariff situation of each country as soon as possible and find ways to open some companies with import and export qualifications in each country.
I'm going to inspect a few projects and I can't answer the phone. If I have any questions, I'll type them on WeChat or send you a text message. It will take about four or five days. Remember to contact the lathe company."
"Don't worry, boss. I guarantee that there will be no problems with the company at all. Things in Hong Kong City will be busy for a while."
After making the plan, Chen Ye thought of a way to contact Su Qing to do something, and that was to give her the key to her home.
Then he left his cell phone in another rental house and collected it regularly every day. The moment he sent the message in the next morning, he returned to reality.
In this way, people in the Ming Dynasty can realize that communication with reality will not be interrupted. If there is anything they want to buy, Su Qing can quickly buy it and put it at home.
Chen Ye looked at the small black hole that appeared out of thin air in front of him. A three-dimensional map could be seen in front of the black hole.
The yellow dot in the middle is Chongzhen, and the ten-meter distance with Chongzhen as the center is where Chen Ye can appear.
At the same time, Chongzhen was also waiting expectantly in the palace.
Empress Zhou and Zhu Cixi were standing beside Chongzhen as a family group, while Wang Chengen and Li Ruolian stood nervously behind Chongzhen.
"The shop owner will show up later. No matter how he appears, you must be careful not to lose your etiquette."
"Don't worry, husband. I have prepared a gift, Ci Xing. Don't be disrespectful to the shopkeeper in any way."
"Don't worry, mother, your son will understand."
Zhu Cixi stood quietly aside, clenching his little hands, curious and nervous.
"I swear to protect His Majesty's safety to the death."
"If you dare to make the shopkeeper a little displeased later, you can go to the palace to pick up Wang Banban."
Chongzhen was very satisfied with Li Ruolian's performance, but he still warned him not to lose his mind and draw a sword in front of the shop owner to show his loyalty.
"Chen Ye: Lao Zhu, I'm coming out."
"Chongzhen: Shopkeeper, please come out, I can't wait any longer."
In front of the five people, a fantastic halo of light appeared, and in the soft white light, a figure slowly appeared.
"Shopkeeper, I finally see you. I've been waiting so hard for you!
What are you doing standing there? Are you looking stupid? You haven't even met the shop owner yet!"
Chongzhen was so excited that he stepped forward to look at Chen Ye. When he saw that the others were still in shock, he quickly cursed.
Chen Ye looked at the people in front of him. They were basically similar to the photos Chongzhen took of him.
Empress Zhou, who was in her thirties, was dressed in a formal dress and a headdress, looking dignified and majestic, and there was a sense of tranquility that hit her face.
"My husband's wife, Mrs. Zhou, the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, met the immortal shopkeeper"
"Hello sister-in-law, hello sister-in-law, it's our first time meeting you."
"My father's eldest son, Zhu Cihong, met the immortal shopkeeper."
"Hello little nephew, good little nephew, study hard."
…
The five people followed Chongzhen's instructions and bowed to Chen Ye one by one, and Chen Ye could only return the bow.
Chongzhen stood aside and looked at Chen Ye.
Young, too young, this is the first impression of Chongzhen.
Chen Ye's casual clothes, delicate skin, and aura that loomed over everyone as soon as he came out made him feel that this immortal really had immortal bones.
He didn't know that this kind of momentum was actually Chen Ye's sense of superiority. He was facing a group of bumpkins from hundreds of years ago and experienced the ancient customs, so he naturally felt looked down upon.
Besides, Chen Ye might be jealous of the top people in reality, but not an emperor.
"After my husband told me that the shop owner wanted to come to visit, I specially prepared a gift for the shop owner. This pair of twelve golden hairpins, to wish the immortal shop owner husband and wife harmony and eternal love."
The empress was more casual and didn't have any opinions about her family or the palace, so Empress Zhou directly communicated with Chen Ye normally.
Chen Ye really wanted to tell Queen Zhou that he didn't have a fixed girlfriend yet, so if he gave such a precious thing to himself, he couldn't give it to anyone else.
"Thank you sister-in-law. I have also prepared gifts for my sister-in-law and my nephew."
Chen Ye handed an exquisite ladies' watch to Queen Zhou. Inside the transparent protective box, the delicate dial and the slowly moving second hand made Queen Zhou very fond of it.
Then Chen Ye looked at Zhu Cixiang and smiled, making Zhu Cixiang's hair stand on end.
"Little nephew, this is something I collected and printed specifically for you, the May 3rd Middle School textbook. I wish you success."
"Cixeng, thank the shopkeeper."
Zhu Cixiang had a sad face and wanted to thank the shop owner for the books.
If Zhu Cixiang lived in later generations, he would definitely want to sing a song to Chen Ye at this time, "Listen to me and say thank you, because of you."
"Haha, I'm kidding. It's not enough to just be able to read. This thing is also a gift from me, a remote control excavator. You know, a man's romance is about machinery."
Chen Ye pointed to the ground and released a remote-controlled excavator.
After demonstrating how to play, Zhu Cixiang, who was already young, nodded happily and hugged him. Chongzhen beside him was equally itchy, but he still held it in.
It is true that men are naturally fascinated by mechanical things.
Empress Zhou seemed even happier when she saw that Chen Ye had given Zhu Cihong a stack of books. The prince would take over the world in the future, and with the books granted by the immortals, he would surely become a wise king.
After Chen Ye finished delivering the gifts, Queen Zhou left with Zhu Cixiang. Chongzhen and Chen Ye sat down together and gradually started chatting.
"I have thought carefully about the evaluation the shop owner gave me before, and it is indeed correct."
"No one is perfect, Lao Zhu, you have to be more open-minded."
Chen Ye couldn't say how wrong Chongzhen was. Or as he said, Chongzhen was responsible for the death of the Ming Dynasty. Who made him an incompetent emperor?
Without plug-ins and advanced knowledge, the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty would be a dead end. If it were replaced by experienced heroes, it might be possible to reform it and see if it can be reformed.
"In today's world, even if I win the Battle of Songjin and eliminate the intruders, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Shopkeeper, how can I truly make the Ming Dynasty last forever?"
"There is basically no hope of everlasting life. The world will inevitably divide if it unites for a long time. You can also see the brief history I showed you. I can only say that let Ming become the most powerful country in the era and try to keep it as long as possible."
Chen Ye thought for a moment and continued.
“Unify measures, seize military power, train a new generation of officials, expand scale, increase the number of people maintaining stability, and control local areas.
Transfer conflicts, open up territories and expand territory, settle and divide areas, inventory fields, abolish health stations, and transform them into local security agencies.
Clan clans were abolished, taxes were restructured, and the Internal Revenue Service was established. All departments gave way to the Internal Revenue Service, and inspection teams were added to ensure that the country had money.
Develop industry, liberate the labor force, use foreign resources to support the country, control patents, use technical barriers to plunder other countries' basic materials, and reduce people's living costs.
The state controls prices at a macro level, improves official welfare, cultivates a clean government system, revise laws, and governs the country in accordance with the law. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty continue. I dare not say for ten thousand years, after all, people's hearts will always change."
Chen Ye finished speaking in one breath, and Chongzhen lost strength as he listened.
