1825 My New Daming

Chapter 27 Where is the Heaven's Secret? It's at BIT!
A long train blew its whistle in a cloud of white steam, rumbling slowly into the North Railway Station near Xizhimen, Beijing, and also sent Zhuge Weidao to Beijing, a capital he was both familiar with and unfamiliar.

Zhuge Weidao was not from the imperial capital in his previous life, but he went to university in Beijing. His alma mater is quite close to Xizhimen. I don’t know what the situation is now?
And Zhuge Weidao in this life is an authentic Beijing Zhuge!Although the ancestral home of the Zhuge family was not in Beijing, most of the members of the Zhuge family moved to Beijing after the Ming Dynasty returned to Beijing.On the way to Beijing, He Tianran, the manager of Zhuge Weidao, also told him that he still has his own house in Beijing.What a big courtyard house, located in Goulan Hutong, Xiyuan Hutong on the edge of the Imperial City?It sounds like a lot of fun!

But isn't he losing his memory?

Therefore, he has no impression of this industrialized Beijing city of Ming Dynasty, his home in Goulan Hutong in Xiyuan, or his life before he lost his memory.When he stepped off the platform, he was just like a Ming Beipiao who had just come to Beijing from his hometown, with his mouth open and his eyes wide open, looking around at the busy streets, tall and magnificent buildings and comings and goings. , Looking at the pedestrians who are very energetic.

China in 1826 could be so rich, prosperous and advanced!

In fact, when the train drove into the factory area of ​​Xuanhua City yesterday evening, Zhuge Weidao was already surprised by the heavy industry factory area he saw and heard. Heavy chemical industry facilities are incomparable, but it is only 21 after all!

Even if the technology in 1826 accelerated due to the appearance of King Wuzhong, and it has reached the level of 1896 in another timeline, industrial facilities of that scale may not be available in 1896 in another timeline. How many can get it out?
And when the train passed through the Badaling Tunnel and entered the plain south of Yanshan Mountain, Zhuge Weidao saw the prosperity along the railway again.At a glance, you can see that there are very wealthy small towns one after another. These small towns are separated by wooden fences and there are family farms (pastures). Each farm (pasture) covers an area of ​​about [-] mu. .Automobiles and tractors should not have been invented yet, so four-wheeled wagons full of agricultural products can often be seen on country roads near railways.The houses on the farm (ranch) also look solid and beautiful—Zhuge Weidao knows that Chinese people like to buy houses and build houses when they have money, so you can see the livelihood of the people in a certain place, and you can usually know it by looking at the houses.

Zhuge Weidao didn't see any dilapidated houses along the way, and the farms separated by wooden fences and bamboo fences had similar land areas.Obviously, the land equalization system (and limited land) implemented since the time of King Wuzhong has been maintained quite well, at least in the area around Beijing.

And when the train entered the suburbs of Beijing, the number of gardens belonging to noble families began to increase.However, these gardens are only garden-style residences. Although they are luxurious and some occupy a large area, the land around the houses is still occupied by farmers' family farms (pastures). "Counseling" is not only for the outside world, but also for the common people below.

Zhuge knew that because of his way, the secret book handed down by King Wuzhong must have said that all countries rebelled and killed the emperor!That's why those cowardly Zhuges have been sticking to the bottom line of suppressing mergers and protecting private small farms (ranches)—everyone who knows history knows that landless and poor farmers are often the main force of rebellion, while rich peasants with family farms are often Royalists.

At the same time, according to the history textbooks of Ming junior high school and high school, the Ming Empire was the first country in the world to realize universal pension, medical care and unemployment insurance. After the French killed Louis XVI, the Ming Dynasty Political Council passed the relevant The Ming court also approved the resolution immediately!

So when the whole of Europe was busy fighting the French Revolution, the Ming court was looking for money to provide welfare for the common people. At that time, due to the continuous growth of the population, the continuous advancement of industrialization, and the continuous improvement of the level of urbanization in the Ming Dynasty, urban poverty inevitably appeared. population.Probably in the eyes of the counselors who have read the "Cheats of King Wu Zhong", they are potential rebels and must be appeased immediately!

In addition to suppressing mergers and providing benefits, history textbooks also say that the counselors of the Zhuge family have always attached great importance to higher education. Over the past 100 years, they have invested in the establishment of 39 universities across the country. These universities are called Longzhong Department , are recognized first-class universities.In Beijing, there are eight universities of the Longzhong department, among which Beijing Institute of Technology is the first.
"It's strange that Beijing Institute of Technology ranks first!" Zhuge Weidao, who stood outside the North Railway Station for a while, suddenly thought of Beijing Institute of Technology in Longzhong University, as if he understood something, so he turned his head and asked his elder brother. , "Brother, is Beijing Institute of Technology in Zhongguantun?"

Zhongguantun is Zhongguancun. That place used to be an eunuch village, and Zhongguan is an eunuch!Later, some people thought that Zhongguantun was not good, so they changed it to Zhongguancun.

"What Zhongguantun?" Zhuge Weixue glared at his younger brother, "Zhongguancun! Have you forgotten where our ancestral home in Beijing is?"

Zhuge Weidao really forgot, he hurriedly turned his head to look at Guo Xiaobao and He Tianran—after getting off the train, Yu Hui took a taxi to Xizhimen to return to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Guo Xiaobao and He Tianran were Zhuge Weidao's subordinates, Moreover, the two of them don't have a house in Beijing, and they both live in Zhuge Weidao's mansion in Goulan Hutong, so now they can only continue to follow him.

Seeing Zhuge Weidao's eyes, the two immediately explained his doubts one by one.

"Brother Daozi, this Zhongguancun is the original Zhongguantun, and the name of Zhongguancun was changed by King Wuzhong. When the Northern Expedition was successful and the imperial court returned to Beijing, the Eight Great Kings were given fields outside Beijing, and King Wuzhong wanted it. The area around Zhongguantun, and renamed Zhongguantun as Zhongguancun.”

"Wu Zhongwang first built Xinlong Zhongzhuang in Zhongguancun, and later opened a polytechnic in Xinlong Zhongzhuang, which was the predecessor of Beijing Institute of Technology. It was also the first new university in Ming Dynasty. Before that, there was only a new style academy in Ming Dynasty. and military academies, no new universities."

It is difficult to encourage the development of education. We can only do it step by step. First, we should run academies equivalent to junior high schools and high schools and urgently needed military studies, and then run universities step by step. This is the right way.

Zhuge Weidao is a teacher himself, and he agrees with King Wu Zhong's rigorous and serious approach to running a school, so he nodded immediately and said, "If you have time, you must go to Beijing Institute of Technology and Xinlong Zhongzhuang to have a look."

Zhuge Weixue took his younger brother's words and said: "Don't wait for something to be free, let's go today!"

"Go today?" Zhuge Weidao was taken aback, "Aren't you going back home?"

Zhuge learned from the Marquis of Wuxiang and had his own residence in Beijing.Zhuge Weidao's stepmother and younger brothers and sisters also live with Zhuge Weixue now.Although Zhuge Weidao has a private house, he also has a room in the Hou Mansion.

"I won't go back," Zhuge Weixue said with a sigh. "Tomorrow, the Military Division has something to ask you. So let's live in the old building tonight."

In fact, Zhuge Weidao is under control - the Zheng family's attempt to win Zhuge Weidao, of course, cannot be hidden from a group of military advisers who can pinch and count.So Zhuge Weixue has received a secret telegram, asking him to take his younger brother to Xinlongzhong directly.

While the two brothers were talking, the carriage that took them to Xinlong Zhongzhuang also arrived.There are two carriages in total, one for Zhuge Weixue and his guards, and one for Zhuge Weidao with Guo Xiaobao and He Tianran, both of whom know that the military division is polite when they ask questions. It is said that the truth is that the military division should try Zhuge for Taoism!
Although the military division has no judicial power, it is impossible to judge Zhuge as Daoist.But they can deprive Zhuge Weidao of his "Zhuge" surname and drive him out.It can also decide Zhuge's official career, and make him a petty official in a place where the birds don't shit for the rest of his life.

If Zhuge Youde is still there, he can protect his son, but now Wuxiang Hou Yifang has no one in the military division. Although Zhuge Weijiu has a close relationship with Zhuge Youde and will take care of his son, Zhuge is in trouble for Dao Gotta be a little big!
I'm afraid I can't keep it!

When the two were worried about their boss, in an office in a five-story main building, four-story podium, and a Chinese-style roof, several military advisers "dressed by Zhuge Liang" were surrounding the office. Sitting together, holding a note and passing it around.After reading it, the note was handed back to the old man Zhuge Weijiu, and the old man took out a lighter, lit the note, and threw it into an ashtray on the desk. Strange!

"So there will be such a thing? Could it be that the Zheng family framed the [-]th brother?" A Zhuge military adviser shook his head again and again, as if he didn't quite believe what the note said.

Zhuge Weijiu snorted: "It's not surprising that Zheng Guozhong and Zheng Guoxian have this idea, but how is it possible for Zheng Yuhuan? He is the god-sister of the [-]th brother and Zheng Yuhuan didn't spread the matter out, but was only temporarily under house arrest. The Grand Duchess."

"Second brother," said another Zhuge military adviser, "could someone else do it?"

Zhuge Weijiu made calculations and shook his head: "No. Natalie checked it when she left Petersburg, and it's not wrong. There was no chance on the way, and she was taken away by the black eunuch when she arrived in Yining. The only possibility What went wrong was the two days in Bagua City."

"Then what should we do? If this matter is to be spread out, the one hundred and eighth brother will be miserable."

Zhuge Weijiu pinched his fingers again and calculated: "I can't live without my own crimes. Send him to New Manchuria, or let him retire from the army, and then go to Java Island to become a plantation owner."

"That's all it takes!"

"We can't keep him anymore."

"He's gone too far!"

Several Zhuge army divisions nodded again and again, Zhuge's fate seems to have been calculated
