Chapter 264： national power
Mao Wenci spent a few days in Nanjing, but found nothing.
The big men among the civil servants were unwilling to talk to him, but some of the generals wanted to contact him to see if they could get their family back.
However, these people didn't have much weight in speaking in front of Wu Changqing.
Man Dahai, who was a little heavier, also chose to refuse to meet him in order to avoid suspicion.
The big reason for this situation is that people in this interest group are very optimistic about the future development of this group. Staying in this group is already the best choice, naturally there is no need to hook up with Mao Wenci.
Not only is there no benefit, but Wu Changqing's suspicion will be aroused for no reason, and a fool will do it like this.
In desperation, Mao Wenci could only give up the idea of peace talks.
However, he did not return immediately, but chose to go to the streets to find out information. You can't return to Beijing empty-handed, as that is more or less a disadvantage.
If you can find any useful information, you can also redeem your merits.
However, he can't go to secret places like steel plants and steam engine R&D and manufacturing plants, so he can only stroll around Nanjing and take a look at the life of the local people.
Of course, some useful information can also be obtained from these market lives.
"This rickshaw is really convenient."
Sitting in the rickshaw, Mao Wenci sighed.
This rickshaw is a new model launched by the BMW dealership. The biggest difference between a rickshaw and a BMW is that they are driven by manpower instead of horses.
Therefore, they are relatively small in size, usually only one person sits, and two can sit in one squeeze.
Compared with BMW cars, rickshaws have many unique advantages, such as its power comes from manpower, and its running cost is low.
Nowadays, the population of Nanjing has increased greatly, and it is dozens of times cheaper to hire a coolie than to raise a horse.
In this era, manpower is so cheap, and even a human life is not as precious as a horse.
BMW was originally engaged in the high-end market, but the high-end market was limited, so after the initial market blank dividend, Tong Youwei began to enter the cheap market.
This kind of rickshaw is much rougher than BMW, and the cost is much lower. It can serve ordinary people with a little money.
In addition to selling these rickshaws directly, Tong Youwei also bought a rickshaw dealer for himself, hired a large number of coolies, and then asked them to provide transportation services in the city.
Not to mention, the effect is surprisingly good.
People with a little money like to experience this new means of transportation, which is comfortable, labor-saving, and inexpensive. From the south gate to the north gate, Shili Road only costs 20 to 30 yuan.
After Wu Changqing learned about the rickshaw dealership, he also supported him in making this industry bigger.
For this reason, Wu Changqing even issued a new order prohibiting the lifting of sedan chairs and prohibiting officials from sitting in sedan chairs.
It takes four people to lift the sedan, and only one rickshaw, which is faster and more comfortable. Moreover, three labors are directly saved, and the extra labor can be used to do other things to create wealth.
Wu Changqing will support everything that can liberate the labor force.
At the same time, the size of the rickshaw is small, which can also alleviate the congestion in Nanjing.
Nowadays, the population of Nanjing is increasing, and the traffic pressure is also quite great.
As for the rickshaw because it is simple and unobstructed, it is inconvenient for some women who want to travel, which is a surprise.
Wu Changqing wants to change the current social climate without being too radical. Let those women get used to showing their faces on the street first, and then later transition to allowing them to work in various industries, it will not be so obtrusive.
"That is, for a master like you, choosing to take a rickshaw is the best choice. There is no place in Nanjing that I am unfamiliar with. Wherever you want to go, taking my car can save a lot of time. It won't delay things, and it's comfortable to sit."
Because Mao Wenci asked the rickshaw driver not to go too fast, he pulled the driver very easily, and even said something in the mood.
"How much money can you make in one day?"
Mao Wenci asked.
"Hey, if you don’t make much, just make hard money. The bulk of it will be used to hand over to the car dealers. We are lucky to meet the master for such hard work. We may make a hundred ren a day. A few words, on average, will cost about one or two silver a month."
The coachman replied.
Mao Wenci took a deep breath, and his monthly income reached one or two, but he didn't say that much.
What the coachman said made Mao Wenci smell an invisible pretense. You know, working as a soldier in the north can only make so much.
Mao Wenci couldn't help sighing, the South is so rich.
There are already five such concrete roads in Nanjing. Where is cement here, it is clear that it is covered with white silver.
This kind of cement sells for fifty taels of silver a ton in the north, and the amount of cement for this road is at least several hundred tons, which is tens of thousands of taels of silver.
These five cement roads add up to a hundred thousand taels of silver.
With so much money used to pave the way, Mao Wenci was envious in addition to envy.
Moreover, this concrete road is nothing compared to the brick houses outside the city.
It is said that the brick house project needs to invest more than two million taels in order to let those untouchables have houses to live in. Mao Wenci had to admire this kind of handwriting.
In exchange for the Qing court, the money would definitely not be available, and it would not be possible to use it on the people.
From these projects, what Mao Wenci saw was Nanjing's extremely powerful financial and national power.
Fighting is to a large extent tantamount to fighting for money. If you have money, you will not worry about recruiting soldiers.
Nanjing is so rich, how can it be defeated?
Mao Wenci also vaguely saw a very important question, that is, is it really beneficial to the court if it continues to be delayed? Is this peace talk really necessary?
Although the success of the peace talks can buy time for development, the South is also developing during this period of time. Is this really catching up, not that the gap is getting bigger and bigger?
After thinking of this, Mao Wenci became more and more panicked.
Afterwards, Mao Wenci went to Nanjing's restaurants, casinos, shops, east and west markets, etc., all the sights,
All are showing the amazing strength and vitality of this city.
Mao Wenci finally came to a conclusion similar to Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng, Kong Youde and others, that is, the Qing court wants to win the final victory, only to conduct a full-scale decisive battle as soon as possible, a decisive battle.
The longer the delay, the more disadvantaged it is to the Qing court.
After returning to the residence, Mao Wenci sorted out his thoughts, worked hard to write a book overnight, and wrote down his experience.
The next day, he hurriedly left Nanjing and returned to the north. He wanted to report his experience and suggestions so that Dorgon could make up his mind as soon as possible.
