Chapter 1414 Bi-phase meeting

Wu Qichen looked at the sky: "Have you left for two quarters of an hour?"

Mrs. Wu rolled her eyes: "How can I come to the door as soon as I arrive? I always have to prepare time for the host, right? If the host has guests or has something to do, it is not necessary to make arrangements?

It is better to wait for the family members who sent the visitation to come back and ask clearly what the reply is going there."

Wu Qichen muttered, "If an ordinary family doesn't have a visit, then he will come to the door with something? Why is the bigger the family more troublesome?"

Mrs. Wu explained: "The main reason is that there are many things for wealthy families. Unlike small families who come and receive the guests, they put down their work and receive them. If there are too many people coming and seeing off, they always have to arrange a time difference. Otherwise, wouldn't the reception one offend one?"

Wu Qichen understood as soon as he heard this: "Since that's the case, then wait a moment. Winter is coming. Are the winter supplies at home ready?"

Mrs. Wu took the child: "Xiao Liu, stop pestering daddy, go to the back to play with brothers and sisters!

Everything is being prepared, and you can buy it according to the rules you set. Don’t worry, I’m worried at home!”

Wu Qichen suddenly asked: "You said that if some of your tribe members were settled in the Bay of Bengal, would anyone be willing to go?"

Mrs. Wu was stunned for a moment: "Why should I place it so far? What are the benefits? Or are you worried about the affairs of those tribes?"

Wu Qichen shook his head: "I just ask, do you just tell me if anyone is willing to go?"

Mrs. Wu thought for a while and shook her head: "Unless you divide the tribe and then give enough benefits, then the mountains and rivers will be separated by each other. How many people will take the initiative to go at such a long distance?"

Wu Qichen stroked the chair: "What if we set up a company and sent these people there to work, we agreed to allow us to come back in five or ten years?"

Mrs. Wu thought: "If the wages are given high, someone should be willing to go. But if the wages are high, can this business still make money?"

Wu Qichen was not worried about this: "Only if there is a business that can make money, people will be arranged to go there."

If Myanmar and the Bay of Bengal are classified as within the clearance, the most obvious change is that some precision processing industries, steam engine production, machining industry, heavy industry factories, etc. were not allowed to be carried out there before.

These will invest in and build new factories there one after another, such as steamship manufacturing, steam engine manufacturing, steel plants, and rail plants, which are all profitable industries, and sending people to make money naturally.

The Bay of Bengal went to a market of 200 million people close to the entire Mughal region, and then went further and pulled the distance between the East and the West into tens of thousands of miles.

At least the original textile industry would move here because it is close to raw materials and has low-priced workers, and is also much closer to the market.

If a railway can be opened in the Hengduan Mountains and connect Sichuan, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou to the Bay of Bengal, then the entire southwest region will really be alive!

It’s just a pity that it’s too difficult to build a railway there. Even a low-speed railway with a speed of 20 miles per hour will cost and time up twenty years.

Moreover, there are many places where you drill holes and walk around the river. It is very difficult to start construction at multiple points due to terrain. It takes 20 years to go up, and there is no idea how much you want to go up.

But these are all things that scientists worry about, and they only need to know whether it is OK or not.

Mrs. Wu smelled a different message: "Did the court do anything big about the Bay of Bengal?"

Wu Qichen nodded: "Don't spread this news first, I'll talk about it when I come back."

Mrs. Wu was surprised: "Shouldn't this kind of thing be kept secret? Isn't it a leak for your discussion at home like this?"

Wu Qichen's lips curled up: "There is a lot of investment there. If there is no leak, the businessmen think they have received internal news, so how could they invest a lot?

This matter is hidden on the surface, but in fact it is to encourage everyone to invest. Only those who follow the trend will dare to go up after the first batch of investments arrive. If the court does not issue secretly, and finally announces suddenly, everyone will definitely wait and wait until the court's investment arrives before making their own investment.

That would delay the entire plan. Of course, I would like to ask Sai Xiang for advice and tell you when I come back."

Wu Qichen was chatting with his wife, and the person who sent a message to him came back: "Master, Sai Xiang replied, he is waiting for you at home."

Wu Qichen stood up directly: "Then let's go, is the carriage ready?"

The lady helped to sort out her clothes: "It's already ready, so you go to change your clothes quickly and change your clothes. This Prime Minister's official clothes are afraid that Sai Xiang will feel uncomfortable."

Officials are clothes that officials usually wear when they work. There are three types of clothes that Ming officials have. One is dress, which is only worn during great etiquette, the other is court uniform, and when they go to court, they also wear when they meet with low-level officials or foreign officials to come to envoys. The other is regular clothes, which is usually worn during office work.

The dress pursues gorgeousness, showing identity and the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, while the court clothes pursue both central, practical and gorgeousness. Wearing it will not affect normal office work, nor will it lose momentum.

The last type of official clothes is to pursue comfort and convenience, so Wu Qichen is too lazy to change clothes at home after getting used to wearing them.

He was a little surprised to see the wife say this: "Why is Sai Xiang uncomfortable?"

The lady smiled: "Once a new person changes to an old person, when he sees this outfit, he will definitely remember the days when he was the prime minister?

If a person with a small mind sees it, he will think you are showing off at home!"

Wu Qichen frowned: "What's this? If I don't wear clothes, I'm not the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty. If I give the clothes to Sai Xiang, I'm the Prime Minister?"

What are the uses of these superficial things? OK... OK, I'll go to change clothes now, and you'll check the gifts."

By the time Wu Qichen came out, the coachman and Jinyiwei Tiqi were already waiting outside.

In the past, when officials from the Ming Dynasty traveled, they were all combined with special personnel guards in the yamen and protection of servants.

However, after the reform of the Jinyiwei Tiqi Cavalry, the task in this area was taken care of by the Jinyiwei Tiqi Cavalry. Different numbers of Jinyiwei Tiqi Cavalry are responsible for the escort work according to different positions and different grades.

The carriage slowly started, Wu Qichen checked the gift again, then closed his eyes and rested.

When I arrived at the door of Seberwen's house, the middle door of Seberwen's house was already wide open, and Seberwen's eldest son was waiting at the door himself: "I'm asking for it inside, my father is in the vegetable field in the backyard and said that if you come, go there to find him directly."

Saisin said, "This is the tea and wine I brought to your father. I'll go find him first, you don't have to follow him."

Mr. Sai smiled and took it: "Thank you, Wu Xiang. My nephew is so kind to serve my father. Please, my father said he would have a few drinks with you. I'll prepare wine and food for you."
