Chapter 468 It's worth it, it's worth it
.Did the director get drunk? Although Xue Jiang was a little confused by Director Lin's "unreasonable trouble", he was even more determined in his heart, "Director, without your order, Director Wang can't take a penny away. You ordered this order yourself."
"I've decided?" Lin Haifeng pretended to be stupid and raised his hand and pointed to his nose. Suddenly, he laughed happily, "Hahaha... OK, okay, that's it. Money is good, but you must not take it if you are not yours. In the future, you will be further away from us. Iron commands must be enforced by iron, otherwise there will be a piece of waste paper to wipe your butt."
Xue Jiang and Zhang Zuguang wiped the sweat from their foreheads at the same time. They understood that Director Lin’s second purpose today was actually to investigate them.
"Director, I heard that we are moving from Tianjing to the capital. Is the borrowing money you just said that there is still such a meaning?"
Lin Haifeng nodded at Xue Jiang with a smile, "I have proposed to move the capital to Beijing, and to concentrate all institutions of the Celestial Government in Fengtai."
"That's it," Xue Jiang and Zhang Zuguang looked at each other, a little confused. "There is no large mansion in Fengtai. If it is built there, everything will have to start from scratch. In fact... in my opinion, it would be better to choose the outer city."
"How could it be better? So many people came all at once, and they had to have a nest, and they would inevitably invade the interests of the original people here," Lin Haifeng shook his head, "They are the masters, and we are just servants who serve them, so how could the servants bombard the masters? The ancients knew the truth that the world was worried before they were worried, and then the world was happy after they were happy. Can those of us who claim to serve the people still compete for interests with the people who raised and supported our people? That would not be a big joke."
"Then..." When I thought of the former royal and princes' mansions in Tianjing City, and when I think about the huge amount of money that Director Lin might have said casually, Xue Jiang couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, "That would require a lot of money."
"Haha, it costs a lot of money," Lin Haifeng added the second pot of cigarettes. "According to the investigation of the business camp, many housing in the outer city now need to be renovated, and the sanitation conditions are too poor. Not only is the lack of thatched houses, but so many sewage ditches also need to be cleared. Otherwise, it will affect the normal life of residents, which will cost money. As for the arrangements of government agencies, the business camp is stepping up the drafting of plans. It is just office and residence, which will not cost much. Look, several courtyards are built separately, which are office buildings and living areas..." As he said that, Lin Haifeng painted on the dining table and roughly explained to Xue Jiang and the others the future government courtyards.
This... Xue Jiang and Zhang Zuguang were surprised when they heard this. This is not the place where the princes should go. If the yard was not much larger, it would be comparable to the slums where ordinary people live.
"Then... so many royal and princes' houses that will be idle in the inner city in the future... and so many idle houses... how should we deal with it?" Zhang Zuguang looked at Director Lin, who spoke happily with confusion.
"Simple, too simple," Lin Haifeng laughed. "Some of those good houses can be used as places for people to relax and enjoy. By the way, it is called parks, or public gardens. Some can be converted into schools, libraries, research institutions, etc. to serve everyone. In the future, all kinds of industries that damage the overall view of the city or cause destructive industries will be strictly prohibited from appearing in the inner city. It will be the key protection of our Chinese nation's architectural classics, forever and intact, to be passed on to our descendants in order to benefit our generation."
Seeing Xue Jiang and Zhang Zuguang nodding constantly, Lin Haifeng smiled, "So, you have to make preparations in advance. These projects must be done by your Angel Trading Company. The specific matters will be arranged by Director Wang. Haha, how about it, Shopkeeper Xue, you won't invite me for this meal. You easily got another big project. Congratulations!"
"Please, Director, if anyone takes over your project, he will have to pay the most. He can't find the temple gate even if he cries," Xue Jiang pretended to be miserable. Immediately, he laughed again, "Director, don't worry, I will complete the 'hard' task of demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall."
"That's all for you," Lin Haifeng nodded.
"Hehe, I'm not serving the people, no matter how hard or tired you are, I'm happy!" Xue Jiang smiled happily, picked up the wine glass, and drank it himself.
"There is another point, I want to remind you in particular," Lin Haifeng looked at the two loyal subordinates in front of him seriously. "Maybe some negligence in the past and some instructions were too biased, and they did not take into account your actual situation more. In the future, you will always be unable to get out of your old career. Making money is important and saving is also important, but you cannot be too mean to yourself. The activity funds that belong to you are not allowed to be saved in the future. Remember, your body is the first."
Xue Jiang turned to Zhang Zuguang, and the two smiled at each other, "Don't worry, Director, I will never save you anymore. If you don't eat fat heads and ears, you will never come back to see you."
"Okay, then I will personally hang the medal of merit from the Celestial Dynasty on your chest." Lin Haifeng looked at the two of them solemnly and said word by word.
Xue Jiang and the others said that they were talking, but in reality they still did their own things as usual.
The Manchus' migration in the inner city of Beijing was extremely rapid. Half a year later, except for a few Manchu poor people who had "skills" and others, together with the "little emperor Tongzhi", were almost "empty" moved to various places.
At the same time, the Northern Camp of the Supreme Command of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom discovered in "serious verification" that Angel Trading Company, which was responsible for the renovation of Beijing city, deceived the Beijing Temporary Military Control Commission and was suspected of multiple fraud cases, and decided to investigate and deal with it. Unfortunately, Fan Wenrui, the major shareholders of Angel Trading Company, and Xue Jiang and his "minions" had "fled with huge sums of money" before. Therefore, Angel Trading Company was state-owned by the Northern Bank's revenue, and was published according to the newly-found "Beijing News"
According to Bu, under the squandering of shareholders, Angel Trading Company has actually been insolvent for a long time. After the state-owned property, what is left to the Celestial Government is a huge mess. In order to continue the renovation of Beijing City and the construction of the Celestial Government, in order not to add more burden to the Celestial Government in Tianjin, nearly one million soldiers under the Northern Camp tightened their belts and saved money from their teeth, which enabled such a huge project to benefit the people to be maintained...
Fan Wenrui, Xue Jiang and others who "escaped" from Beijing reunited with Zhang Zuguang, who had already arrived here in a secret location in Shanghai. After two months of special secret training, they went to North Korea one after another, and the "Anning Trading Company" and the "Tongletang Pharmacy" opened again.
Under the command of Fan Wenrui and Xue Jiang, the "Ministry of Internal Affairs North Korea Special Work Station" organized huge economic and military intelligence networks in North Korea, Ryukyu, and Japan, and made great money in trade with Japan, making great contributions to the Celestial Finance, becoming the third largest ace station of the Celestial Ministry of Internal Affairs after the American and European stations.
Unfortunately, Xue Jiang was unable to stand in front of Director Lin and personally experienced the excited moment when he received the award from Director Lin. This hero of the Celestial Dynasty, whose countless wealth had flowed in his hands, was overworked and insufficient nutrition. Shortly after the end of the "Asia-Japan War", when he received the order to call him back to his country, he fell in his "trenches" with a smile, turning into a monument standing on the fertile land on the fertile land on the Celestial Korea Special Zone, "the hero of the people, the Minister of the Interior of the North Korean Special Zone of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Federal Government, and the Lieutenant General of the Army - Gu Yongning."
Before his death, looking at his old comrades who had fought side by side for many years, he "strickenly" held Fan Wenrui and Zhang Zuguang's hands, leaving only a short sentence, "Look at Angel for me again, I miss her very much..."
“… Beijing is changing so quickly.
As soon as I walked out of the magnificent Beijing Railway Station outside Yongding Gate, I looked up and saw that there were all new buildings that made me feel unfamiliar with. The colorful, spacious and comfortable public transportation cars and trams that already existed on the wide streets of big cities such as Tianjin, Shanghai, and Guangzhou also had them here. But strangely, in the square on the east side of the railway station square, there were still colorfully decorated four-wheeled carriages as usual.
According to the explanation from the person I received, it turned out that the cars and trams in the West Square were all outside the city. If you want to enter the city, you can only ride a carriage from here. He said that with the development of the Celestial Empire, some harsh voices appeared at this point. Some "scholars" even publicly criticized that rejecting cars and trams in Beijing is actually a typical conservative symbol, an unreasonable deprivation of the people living in the city to enjoy the development of the new technology of the Celestial Empire. It is a manifestation of inequality between people, and it also reflects the extreme unimprovement and willingness to live in pampering... However, the Beijing Municipal Government is still unmoved, and it also clearly stipulates that the policy of rejecting cars in the inner city of Beijing, which is seriously polluted by the city, will be implemented forever and no one can change it.
We took a carriage that could accommodate eight people at the same time, left the Beijing Railway Station located in Fengtai, and ran along the wide cement road straight north and south. After about a few minutes, we saw the newly opened ring road that was located in front of us, which was wider than the road below us. On the other side of the road, the city tower of Yongding Gate, which looked like a new and beautiful city.
I will tell you that the three brand new cities of Haidian, Fengtai and Chaoyang that Beijing has been working hard to build for many years have now begun to take shape. Haidian is not only a concentration of all universities and research institutions, but also a comprehensive and modern architecture model for Fengtai, which is mostly administrative institutions, and Chaoyang City, which is a financial and business center in the east, are completely new and modern buildings.
Indeed, when I enter Yongding District from the train station, I realize that in fact, the integration and combination of new and old in Beijing is so perfect, so profound and connotative.
Yongding District was once the dilapidated and only "untouchables" gathered here. Now, we walk north along a straight Central Street until under Zhengyang Gate. What we see on both sides are either schools, parks and sports venues for people to relax and entertain, and shopping malls.
After entering Zhengyang Gate and setting foot on the ancient inner city of Beijing, with Director Lin's efforts, she was still kept intact as always. It was still the "imperial city" I am familiar with. When it comes to changes, the only change she changed is that the entire central city is cleaner and more beautiful than every time I leave. In addition, it is on clean and tidy streets and alleys, and there are more running four-wheeled carriages than in the past, and the endless stream of bicycles.
According to the accompanying staff, in the central area of Beijing, including Yongding District, when the government agencies and families gathered in Fengtai were still using honeycomb coal to heat and cook, it was the first place in the country to become the first centralized heating and tap water after overall transformation. The full coverage area of gas. No matter where you go, you will never see any thick smoke that spreads when cooking and heating like before, and you will not see the chimneys in other industrial cities.
As Director Lin described it back then, here, the Celestial Government set a precedent in the world. In addition to major leisure places and their affiliated service facilities, such as hotels, restaurants and various commodity stores, there are only a small number of light industrial workshops in the four cities in the east, west, south, north and Yongding District. The most common in these five districts are schools, museums, calligraphy and painting academies and libraries. Nearly 100 full-time boarding schools in the city are distributed throughout the city, providing completely free compulsory education for hundreds of thousands of children.
Listen to the accompanying staff, there have been many times when the foreign heads of state visited here, and they were dumbfounded, they would never forget to give a suggestion to the Celestial Government, "This is a paradise on earth far away from the hustle and bustle. It is an unparalleled aesthetic museum. In this best residential area where every inch of land is worth every inch, there should not be so many schools at all, but should be developed into garden villas and business centers everywhere, which will bring you countless wealth..."
But do you know what Marshal Lin’s answer is? When the young man with him said this, he suddenly blinked his eyes and asked me.
I smiled, and I guess the marshal's answer must be very classic.
The Marshal said that we do need money, and no one is willing to fight against it. However, our children are more precious wealth than money. Only children deserve to enjoy such a paradise.
Walking through the "Golden Turtle Jade Bridge" that was only used by the royal family, what I saw was a group of children with innocent and funny smiles in the bright sunshine. The boys were all blue shorts, white short-sleeved tops, and beautiful girls with colorful hairbands, wearing lake blue strap skirts. Most of the children were wearing bright red scarves around their necks.
At this time, surrounded by green trees on both sides, and the sweet and moving songs of the children floated on the rippling "sea", "... After finishing the homework for the day, let's have fun. I ask your dear partner, who arranged a happy life for us? The boat gently floated in the water, and the cool wind blew towards us...
As I listened, I saw the wife beside me shed tears of joy, and my eyes began to get a little wet. We thought of the old friend who had been asleep again. Old friend, just wait for us in heaven with peace of mind. Our efforts were not wasted in vain. For these happy children, it is worth it, worth it..."
This is a true record of Zhang Zuguang, who was on the secret front of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who was also responsible for the heavy trust of his old comrades, when he was the people's representative of the Korean Special Zone of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Federation, and stepped on this land again twenty years later.
