Chapter 129 Sail to Jiangnanyue
Liu Mingqi was sitting on the big boat at this time and headed smoothly to the south of the Yangtze River.
They were a lot of people riding on five specialized large ships.
Not only the group of people who were in the Ghost Gate before, but also the more than 70 people who came from the capital and met with them at the Ghost Gate.
These people were all with Zhong Chang, and there were about twenty more people than the last time they went to Sichuan, and they were all related households.
It’s a pity that Nangong Qiucheng and Wang Zhiru did not follow him last time, otherwise they would have had a lot of fun along the way with their luxurious personalities.
After the Ghost Pass was cleaned up, the embankment gate in the north had been opened, and the newly built river gate on the side of the south was also closed.
The rolling river water poured into the gates of hell again and returned to its usual appearance for a hundred years.
The original ships had been waiting outside for a long time, but they were still unloading their goods at the north and south terminals, and then transporting them alternately.
This not only did the north and south docks return to their former liveliness, but Tongjiang Town and Shunjiang Town are also crowded and their business is booming.
When Liu Mingqi arrived at the South Pier, she was not the first ship to take.
I stayed for about a day, and waited until the ship in front of me to explore the way, and saw if the entire Grand Canal was still open.
If something happened before, it wouldn't be Liu Mingqi and his group going to the mines.
This is normal, not only in ancient times, but also in modern times.
This time, there was no arrangement for a big dog owner like Nangong Qiu to become, even if Chi Sanlai was the itinerary supervisor, it could also be referred to as the team leader.
With the crazy sales of the Yu Prince’s Mansion products, there are countless people who want to please the Third General Manager.
So as early as February, Chi San had roughly arranged the entire itinerary.
Those who receive them are all businessmen with status and status in various places, which can be said to be one-stop service.
In the Dakang Dynasty, as long as the royal family did not contact officials or the military, they would do whatever they wanted.
This trip was just about contacting the merchants, and everyone was eating, drinking, having fun and talking about business together. Even Ge Songdao would agree happily.
They wish that Liu Mingqi would like to do business, the better, as long as you don’t get involved in the government.
This time, Liu Mingqi and the others went to Jiangnan. There were so many people who wanted to entertain them. They had to rely on active efforts to have the opportunity to entertain them.
For example, the Sima family, one of the canal transport giants in Zhenjiang Prefecture, was responsible for such five beautiful and gorgeous ships.
They had a close relationship with Lin Zhenyuan before, but they did not expect that they would escape unscathed during this storm, which shows how profound their background is.
Sima Jin, the eldest son of the Sima family, is now chatting and talking with Liu Mingqi and the others on the boat.
To be precise, he chatted with Liu Mingjing and others, and talked about the various benefits of Jiangnan.
None of these royal children have been to Jiangnan. When they heard him brag so much like a fairyland, the man almost drooled, and the woman's eyes were full of fantasy.
The only boy sitting by the boat and reading the newspaper with his legs crossed his arms was not as interesting as joining in the fun.
The Sima family didn't feel a little depressed.
The young prince he wanted to please the most was the young prince. As a result, after several days on board, His Royal Highness De did not say a word to him except for being interested in the newspaper he brought.
He is still carrying the tasks given by his family.
Before coming, Sima Jin heard that His Highness De didn't have much preference and was willing to invent various things as if it were one, and the rest were nothing special.
Young people like to waste extravagance and spend money with big hands, but there seems to be no news about buying various luxury goods and liking to spend money.
On the contrary, the luxury goods he made attracted countless wealthy people to buy them in Jiangnan.
It is said that a young man is good, but King De had no other concubines except for taking over Xiao Suqin, one of the Nine Immortals of Drama. He either had problems or had extreme self-discipline.
Sima Jin believed that King De belonged to the latter.
The more he thinks that King De is excellent, the more he feels that he should use King De to complete the task.
This is related to the rise and fall of the family, and even the survival of the family!
Thinking of this, while drinking tea, he smiled apologetically to everyone, then walked to Liu Mingqi and sat down, "Prince, do you like this form of Jiangnan Daily?"
Thanks to Dakang's royal family members who have no status and have not paid much attention to the identity of royal children for many years, otherwise it would be a sin to just sit opposite Liu Mingqi so casually.
Liu Mingqi did not look up and just asked him: "Mr. Sima, do you think the Jiangnan Daily is good?"
"good!"
Sima Jin nodded without hesitation.
He thought to himself that you are watching all day long, can I say bad things?
We must cater to your elderly taste so that we can ask you for help.
He was a very smart person. He knew that just saying one word was too empty, so he quickly organized the language: "First of all, its content is very novel, there are all kinds of things, and there are some big and small things happening around us, as well as some good stories, some poems, songs, and some comments on current affairs.
Then what I like more is that many of its articles are written in plain language, which can be understood by ordinary people who cannot read them, which increases its transcendence and is loved by both young and elegant.
However, the Jiangnan Daily has been published a little bit. Since the first month of the year, it has basically only been published every five days. Everyone shouted that it was not enough to read it, so Mr. Gong should do it quickly!"
Liu Mingqi smiled unanimously, "Do you think it's all advantages?"
"I can't say that, but the advantages are definitely far more than the disadvantages." Sima Jin said this calmly.
Liu Mingqi shook her head and put down the newspaper in her hand. "I think it's full of shortcomings! It's like a hodgepodge, stuffing everything inside, not professional at all."
Sima Jin was speechless.
He didn't know how to answer the conversation.
Haven't you watched it so hard these days?
Didn’t you laugh as you watched?
How do I know you think so?
Thanks to Sima Jin here.
If Gong Yuan, a fan of Liu Mingqi, was here, he would definitely be dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrong.
Didn’t you teach me this hodgepodge of newspapers?
Didn’t you say that this is the best model to spread?
Why did you suddenly feel disgusted?
Ahem!
You can't say that Gong Yuan is wrong, Liu Mingqi did give in this way.
But he was an ancient man after all, and he didn't know what it means to have a graded choice after classification.
For example, those common people stories, Liu Mingqi clearly told him that it should focus on fun, and it is best to have some educational significance.
As a result, most of the stories written in the Jiangnan Daily are about "talented men and beautiful women", which is a bit out of touch with life.
There are also comments about current affairs. Gong Yuan directly pointed his finger at the senior officials at the prefect level, seized several typical wrong policies, and started a hot discussion.
This matter was a bit big, which made the government very dissatisfied with Gong Yuan and the Jiangnan Daily.
This goes against Liu Mingqi's "despicable development" strategy.
You want to be rooted in the people and have already established a foundation before you can slowly start to exert your efforts.
When they find something is wrong, they have no choice but to stop it.
It’s not that it cannot be forcibly banned, but the disturbance caused by this is too great, and the people in Jiangnan will not agree.
Once the public opinion in Jiangnan does not agree much, the government will consider a gentler method.
Now, after hearing Sima Jin say a few words before, even Su Feng noticed the Jiangnan Daily and called Gong Yuan over and scolded him.
I guess it will be the focus of monitoring in the future!
I knew that a lawless madman like this would definitely make things worse!
...
Seeing that Sima Jin didn't know what to say, Liu Mingqi smiled, "San'er told me before that the Sima family spent a lot of money to arrange our Grand Canal itinerary this time... After two or three months, it would probably cost tens of thousands of taels of silver?"
The Sima family took on the task of sending Liu Mingqi to Jiangnan from the South Wharf, and then took on the itinerary all the way, and finally had to send them back to the South Wharf.
Along the way, Liu Mingqi and the others would take the boat if they wanted to take the boat, and if they wanted to take the land, they would take the land if they wanted to take the land. Anyway, these five ships would definitely stay by their side.
In a luxurious ship like this, there are a lot of people needed.
The boatmen who paddled the bottom, the sailors, helmsmen, captains, etc., as well as servants and maids serving, each ship was less than two hundred people.
The food, drinking, defecation and urination of so many people, and the supply along the way, are a huge expense.
Even if it’s just a cost, tens of thousands of taels of silver is not too much.
No matter where you are, tens of thousands of taels of silver are not a small amount.
They have given so much, and they must have a purpose.
Sima Jin did not answer, but said respectfully: "It is our honor to serve you, the prince."
"I don't believe in these things because we don't have any friendship." Liu Mingqi shook her head, "So you should have something to ask for me. Can you say what you are now?"
Sima Jin laughed silently, "Everyone said that you are a saint and a genius, but you are a person I have never thought of saying this."
"It's good to get used to it." Liu Mingqi said, "I think Mr. Sima is also a cheerful person. In the future, you should not be kidnapped by your reputation outside. Life is only a few decades long, and it will be worthwhile to be able to live according to your own temperament."
Sima Jin's eyes lit up and he immediately bowed, "The prince's words are thought-provoking, Sima Jin is taught!"
Chapter completed!
