Mingshi

Chapter 1283 Journey

Luo Xin was silent, he also knew these things.He doesn't care about those capital and local government, as well as aristocratic families, and now he has a way to fight them.

However, Luo Xin couldn't make nearly 20 Cao Ding unemployed at once.There are nearly 20 families behind the nearly 20 Cao Ding. If the employment problem of the nearly 20 Cao Ding cannot be solved and the development of shipping is rash, it will indeed cause a series of reactions.

Even a disaster!
Luo Xin's strength alone is limited, no matter how strong a person is, he cannot fight against everyone.If Luo Xin proposes to use sea transportation instead of water transportation now, it will be against everyone.

Those with vested interests will never allow such a thing to happen, and Luo Xin will definitely encounter resistance from his previous actions.And this kind of resistance is not only from the government, aristocratic families, and even the entire Shilin, but also from nearly 20 Cao Ding.In other words, Luo Xin will become a public enemy.

"Sigh..." Luo Xin sighed, "It's really hard to do something. The problems at the upper and lower levels must be resolved, and only when those with vested interests can't lose their interests can reform be possible."

"No!" Luo Zhi shook his head and said: "Just to keep them from losing, they will still encounter great resistance. No way, you think. You can get benefits without changing, so why change?

People are lazy.

Only when the benefits you offer exceed the original benefits, can they agree. "

Luo Xin shook his head and said: "Yes, and this is a change in thinking. The most difficult thing in the world to change is thinking. For thousands of years, we have been used to governing a big country like cooking a small fish, striving for stability, balance and unbalanced. Therefore, Xiao He is called the prime minister, and Wang Anshi is called the country of chaos."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin looked at Luo Zhi and said with a smile: "Uncle is amazing now."

However, Luo Zhi blushed and said: "After arriving at the place, I knew a lot of difficulties. I have also been ostracized by my subordinates. However, all these years, I have been by your side, and I have seen you turning your hands into clouds and covering your hands with rain. I didn't learn it, but I learned to be calm and calm. Slowly, I found a solution. After I calmed down, I felt that it was ridiculous before, and I like the life now. Although sometimes thinking about the country, I feel It’s tiring, but I feel alive.”

"People just want to live vigorously!"

"Hahaha..." The uncle and nephew laughed loudly.

After the laughter died down, Luo Xin looked at the blocked ships on the canal and said:
"But sea transportation is the trend of the future. Even if it is not possible to replace water transportation by sea transportation now, we still need to make some preparations."

Luo Zhi thought for a while and said, "I have been an official in Nanjing these years, but I have met a few friends. When chatting, I listened to their conversations. Twenty years ago, Daming also sailed by sea."

Luo Xin recalled for a while and said: "Well, I have heard of it, but I just don't know it. It seems to be something like Jiaolai River and Seaway."

"That's right, it's the Jiaolai River and Sea Road." Luo Zhi said.

"You know?" Luo Xin's eyes lit up.

"I don't know very well, but when I was drinking with a few friends, they said something. Let me think about it... Well, it seems that one year, the Yellow River flooded and the sand rushed into the canal. The canal was blocked, and it was blocked for dozens of miles. This completely interrupted the water transportation. Some people in the DPRK proposed to use the Jiaolai sea transportation. But there are many obstacles. If I want to say that the benefits are not distributed properly, it will be nothing in the end. .”

Luo Xin recalled the terrain, and finally returned to the cabin, dipped his fingers in tea on the table, and drew a map according to his memory.

"It should be like this!" Luo Xin swiped his finger on the drawn map: "Using the Jiaohe waterway to lead to the sea and land of Laizhou Bay, this shortens the sea route from Jiangnan to Beijing. There is no need to detour to the ocean, which saves money." The cost also reduces the burden on the canal, and with the maturity of sea transportation, water transportation can be replaced.

It's a good plan, so it's a pity to abandon it like this.By the way, are your friends familiar with the Jiaolai Haidao? "

Luo Zhi was surprised and said: "No, do you really want to use sea transportation instead of water transportation? No, this won't work."

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Uncle, I didn't say that this plan will be launched immediately, but in the next 50 years, or even 100 years, there will be no wars in Ming Dynasty. What does a Ming Dynasty without wars mean, you do you know?"

"What does it mean?" Luo Zhi was a little confused.

"It means a sharp increase in the population. In 30 years, the population will double. In 50 years, 100 years? At that time, water transport can't afford the transportation capacity at all. At that time, sea transport will become inevitable. Maybe not so much After a long time, maybe only ten or 20 years, the water transport will not have that ability. It is necessary to find a new way to share the transportation for the water transport. Take the initiative to find a way. So, I just prepare in advance and push when necessary."

"That's it!" Luo Zhi thought for a while and said, "There are a few who understand a little, but the one who understands the most...there is one person. This person is not a very good person in Nanjing. It's not that this person has a bad character, but this People are nerds, and they know how to study water conservancy all day long."

Luo Xin's eyes lit up and said, "I need such a person right now! Is he still in Nanjing?"

"Well, it's still there!" Luo Zhi nodded.

Luo Zhi thought for a while and said, "It's not urgent, let's meet up sometime."

Hearing that Luo Xin said there was no rush, Luo Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that Luo Xin had no intention of opening the island immediately.He was really afraid of Luo Xin. Over the years, Luo Xin had ups and downs, it was like walking a tightrope.Now the honor and disgrace of the Luo family rests on Luo Xin, he is really afraid that something will happen to Luo Xin.

As the old saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. Luo Zhi is no longer the small-minded person in the countryside.Being with Luo Xin, Zhou Yu, Zhang Xun, Liu Xiuwen and a group of outstanding people, my heart calmed down and my horizons were opened.Thinking carefully about what Luo Xin has done these years, while being worried and shocked, I also deeply admire Luo Xin and learned a lot from Luo Xin.

Along the way, Luo Xin and Luo Zhi communicated every day.Luo Xin really looked down on Luo Zhi before, but this meeting made Luo Xin admire him.Luo Zhi has his own ideas, and when encountering a problem, he knows how to ponder over it first and stop talking about it. Moreover, as Luo Xin's uncle, Luo Zhi has no pretensions of an elder at all. Instead, he asks Luo Xin for advice seriously like a student.He even told Luo Xin in detail the various problems he encountered in Nanjing these years and the process of his solution, and asked Luo Xin to analyze to him what he had done and what shortcomings he had.
