The hometown of Donghai Country, Jingdong Commercial City.

Wu Haogu is the mansion near the sea when he first arrived in Haizhou.

Later, this place became the core of Tianya Shang Town, and later Tianya Town was incorporated into Jingdong Shang City, and he never came again. Now Jingdong Shang City has been occupied by the Republican Army, and Yuzhou Island, which is across the sea from Shang City, is still under the control of the student army of the Song Dynasty Naval Academy, loyal to Zhao Kai, the prince of Donghai County.

Therefore, the former place of the East China Sea Kingdom became the best place for the Republic and the Eastern Song Dynasty to hold peace negotiations.

Wu Haogu arrived at Jingdong Market with Pan Qiaolian. The two of them first took a carriage and wandered around Jingdong Market. They looked at this important industrial and commercial trade center that was managed by Ji Yi and was able to compete with Tianjin.

Unlike Tianjin, which was planned very neatly, Jingdong Shang City seems chaotic. After all, this Shang Town is composed of the Shang Town developed by Ji Yi, Lu Jiawen, Zhang Dun and others, as well as Yuzhou Island. It was originally fragmented, but it was not until the Donghai Kingdom era that a unified plan was established, and the old city of Qushan was demolished and a brand new city core was built. However, the two large areas in the north and south were still in a mess.

When Wu Haogu and his wife arrived at Jingdong Commercial City, the big and chaotic commercial market seemed deserted. Most of the shops were closed, there were no pedestrians on the streets, and the docks were empty. In Haizhou Bay, there were only a few fishing boats except for the "Truth" class of the Republican Navy.

JD.com, which was as prosperous as Tianjin not long ago, has now become an empty city.

Most of the merchants followed Zhao Kai to Jiangnan! New universities such as Yuntai Academy and Gezhi Academy also moved together.

Only some multinational commerce banks that had traded between Zhou and Song dynasties had their semicolons on JD.com, but Yemen was deserted.

Obviously, this huge flood created by Du Chong has led to another large-scale southward migration of the Central Plains economy!

Originally, I hoped to replace Kaifeng Prefecture, Daming Prefecture, and Yingtian Prefecture to become the new capital of the Central Plains, Xu and Hai Prefecture are now rapidly declining.

If the Yellow River and Huai River management cannot be completed as soon as possible and the canal system of the Central Plains is restored, the two prefectures of Xuhai may be completely scrapped!

Now is the infancy of capitalism, and I don’t know where the trains and railways are? Therefore, the economic development of a place depends entirely on water transportation.

Without a well-connected water transportation system, it is impossible to support developed capitalist industry and commerce.

Therefore, in many years to come, the Great Zhou Republic must invest huge investments in the governance of Huang, Huaihe and canals. Otherwise, the industry and commerce in the Central Plains and Yan areas will inevitably be defeated by the powerful Southeast industry and commerce.

In addition to managing the Yellow River, Huai River and Canal, restoring industrial and commercial production in Xuzhou and Haizhou as soon as possible is also an urgent task before the Great Zhou Republic.

Therefore, this time, the team followed Wu Haogu to the south was a big team!

Around his mansion, the entire street was full of luxury carriages. The horses of Tianjin were tall and large, and they could be used as war horses! The owners of the carriage were all first-class wealthy men in Tianjin. They were not big shopkeepers but had few owners. The wealthy people who lived on this street temporarily were enough to build the Yellow River, Huai River and Canal several times, and then they received 100 million mu of land using the redemption policy...

However, the Great Zhou Republic had no way to slaughter these fat pigs... They were at least aristocratic citizens! The Navy, Chartered Trade Chamber of Commerce, and armed maritime merchants of the Great Zhou Republic were also their people.

And Wu Haogu himself is actually one of them!

It was also Wu Haogu who called on them to come to Haizhou and Xuzhou to find investment opportunities together.

Although the capitalists in Xuhai and the other prefectures ran a lot, they encountered the Yellow River and the Huai River flooded, and the canal system was fragmented. However, there is still a foundation for development!

First of all, the salt farms, ports, coal mines and iron mines in Haizhou are still there. And some technical workers have not followed. As long as there is enough investment, these industries can be saved.

Secondly, after the Yellow River seized the Huai River, the navigation capacity of the Huai River was greatly enhanced. As long as it did not flood frequently, it would be beneficial to the development of the Huai River Basin.

Again, Xu and Hai Prefectures can still rely on the Central Plains and Huainan - the former has sufficient population, while the latter has sufficient food.

The combination of the two, coupled with the production method of factory handicrafts, is undoubtedly a huge productivity.

Therefore, in Wu Haogu's vision, Xuzhou and Haizhou still have the potential to replace Tianjin and become the new economic center of the Great Zhou Republic!

After all, Tianjin has a boundary river freezing period of more than a month, which is not very beneficial for trading ports.

These businessmen who came to Wu Haogunan also knew this.

So these days, they are visiting various places in Xu and Hai Prefectures, desperately looking for opportunities to make money.

Wu Haogu was also very busy. He first worshipped his deceased father Wu Chengzhi. Old man Wu was buried on Yuntai Fairy Mountain. It was a very good Feng Shui, but it was a little more tide. It is estimated that people who are engaged in the career of fighting in the future will find it difficult for people who are engaged in the career of fighting to dig out any good things from his grave...

After pretending to be a filial son, Wu Haowen, the younger brother of Wu Haowen, came back from Jiangnan.

He was ordered to go to Jiangnan to meet Zhao Kai and Wu Meiniang and arrange peace talks between the north and the south.

According to him, this new Zhou Dongsong is actually a family!

"Family?" In a loft where you can look at Yuntai Mountain from afar, Wu Haogu asked his brother with a smile, "Donghai King still recognizes me, Taishan?"

Wu Haowen shook his head and said, "Brother, in Jiangning Mansion today, the one who really holds power is not Donghai."

"Who is it?"

"It's your daughter, beautiful lady!" Wu Haowen said with a smile, "The East China Sea country's military and moving south are all the beautiful lady's proposals. After arriving in Jiangning, she organized the thirteen states to establish the country. She was also the one who attended the Constitutional Conference of the Thirteen State and went to negotiate with the representatives of the states.

So in Jiangnan, the two saints are actually coming to the court! Maybe our family will have a second female emperor!"

"Really or not?" Wu Haogu frowned, "Jiu Kai is so useless? He listens to his wife?"

Wu Haowen smiled, "He is afraid of his wife in Donghai Country... You should know that Donghai King has no concubine, right?"

A dignified king of a country is just a wife... Doesn't this tell the problem?

Although Wu Meiniang is beautiful, she is not as good as she can turn people around. Moreover, she has a strong personality and her mind is not about confusing men.

Wu Haogu thought about it, "Mi Niang did a good job... How did she come up with the thirteen states to unite the country?"

"It was not what she thought of, it was just like this." Wu Haowen said, "The basis for the thirteen states to unite the country is the Southeast merchants. These merchants were raised during the Ji Yi Reform Reform, and each had a group of maritime merchants to control it. When it was time to issue 10 million bonds, they also established the commerce autonomy... and allowed the chamber of commerce to organize a group to defend itself. So when the East Sea moved south, the Southeast merchants had the strength to take on the thirteen states to unite the country.

Among the thirteen southeastern prefectures, there are three states including Jiangning Prefecture, Runzhou, and Yangzhou under the control of the Donghai King's Army. There is no Donghai King's army on the other ten states."

Wu Haogu nodded and smiled and said, "With Jiangning Prefecture, Yangzhou, and Runzhou, it is enough to control the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River is in hand, and the lifeline of Jiangnan is in hand. If the lifeline of Jiangnan is in hand, there is a possibility for the Eastern Song Dynasty. It seems that Mei Niang is really a possibility of becoming a heroine!

By the way, how do she want to divide the southeast? It is impossible for the Yangtze River to be the boundary? Do you want to use the Huai River as the boundary?"

"It can only be the boundary of the Huai River!" Wu Haowen said, "If you guard the river, you must guard the Huai River. Without the Huai River, it would be impossible for the river to be kept for a long time."

He paused, "In addition, this flood of the Huai River is probably the beginning! If the Yellow River is not brought back to the north, controlling the Huai River in the future will be a huge problem, and it will be necessary to combine the power of the north and the south. If the Huai River is not bounded by the Huai River, the Huang, Huai River, and the transportation of all rivers will be the matter of the Great Zhou."

Wu Haogu smiled, not saying anything.

Huainan is not what he wants, as long as both sides can jointly govern the Huaihe River.

But he wanted to get Taiwan back from the Eastern Song Dynasty. After more than ten years of development, Taiwan Island has finally had some basic foundation and can be used as a transit station for the Great Zhou Dynasty to travel south to Southeast Asia.

In addition, Wu Haogu also wanted to have a negotiation with the Eastern Song Dynasty to re-dividate Nanyang.

...

The sand boat carrying Zhao Kai and Wu Meiniang was docked on the dock in Yangzhou. Because the itinerary was very fast, the "Two Saints" did not get off the ship. Several officials or men dressed in the outside world, led by Ji Kui, boarded the sand boat and met the heroine Wu Meiniang of the Eastern Song Dynasty in the crowded cabin.

After performing the bow and bowing ceremony, Ji Kui, the magistrate of Suzhou, the Eastern Song Dynasty, spoke first: "Empress, have you ever found gold and silver from Xuzhou?"

"No." Wu Meiniang said, "I didn't find Zong Ying's army... Everyone, we have to make the worst plan!"

The worst plan is of course gold and silver fell into the hands of the Western Song Dynasty!

Without gold and silver, the bank bonds of the Dong Song Dynasty would face a run. Once the bank bonds collapsed, the economy of the Dong Song Dynasty would have the possibility of collapse.

The old men present immediately showed distressed expressions.

The loss this time is too great!

Wu Meiniang's beautiful eyes circulated, and she put everyone's expressions into her eyes. Then she smiled and said, "You don't need to worry. As long as we are united in our thirteen states, this difficulty can still be overcome.

How is the situation in Yangzhou, Shanghai and Suzhou now? Can bank vouchers still support it?"

"It can still support it for the time being," Ji Kui frowned, "I just don't know how long it can last..."

"Well," Wu Meiniang nodded, "No hurry to do this... It's not too late to deal with it when I negotiate with Zhou State to establish a country.
Chapter completed!
