Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Father, I want to go see Guangxi!" In Wang Xiao's bedroom, Wang Yuze said to Wang Xiao who was lying on the bed.  Now Wang Xiao, with a pale face and sunken eye sockets, is no different from a ten-year-old person.  However, Wang Xiao's real age is only in his fifties!  Why he aged so quickly has always been a mystery.  However, people in western Sichuan generally believe that Wang Xiao is overworked. Wang Xiao has exhausted all his energy in order to build western Sichuan into a strong and prosperous country.  This also made the people love him even more.

    "Going to Guangxi? Are you worried about anything else?" Wang Xiao opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice.

    "Guangxi has been newly incorporated into the rule of Western Sichuan, and reforms have begun. However, there have been many unrest by old-style forces recently. Although the garrison has suppressed it, the atmosphere is still tense. In addition, the railway from Guiyang to Yongning is under intense construction. I  I also want to supervise it. The most important thing is the construction of military ports and shipyards. This will be related to our future development in western Sichuan, and we cannot be careless in the slightest!" Wang Yuze explained.

    Wang Xiao nodded, agreed with Wang Yuze's statement, and then said: "Go! It's okay to go and have a look. However, go early and come back early. Menghan should be giving birth soon. As a husband, you should be careful then.  Just be by her side!"

    "Yes, father. I will be back in time!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Father, you can rest, I'm out!" Wang Yuze stayed in Wang Xiao's room for a while before leaving.  When he walked out of the room, his eyes were a little wet.  Wang Xiao's current situation is very pessimistic, and he doesn't know how long he can last.  He specifically asked Wang Xiao's full-time doctor yesterday.  The doctor's answer was that Wang Xiao's health was already in very bad shape, and it looked like he would run out of gas in a month or two at most, so Wang Yuze was asked to be mentally prepared.  Thinking of this, Wang Yuze felt a little sad.  It can be said that Wang Xiao devoted his whole life to him and to the entire western Sichuan.  As Wang Xiao's son, he can only fulfill Wang Xiao's wish by inheriting all this and building a prosperous and powerful China.

    Wang Xiao, who was lying on the bed, watched Wang Yuze leave the room, and then closed his eyes.  Why doesn't he know about his own body?  He asked Wang Yuze to leave early and come back early. On the one hand, Xiong Menghan was about to give birth, and on the other hand, he didn't know how long he could last.  He was also very worried about whether Wang Yuze could fully control the situation in western Sichuan after his death.  Although Wang Yuze has performed very well in the past two years and has won the support of most people.  However, this is while he is still alive.  If he is no longer here, I'm afraid everything will change.  It is difficult to guarantee that those who are ambitious in their hearts will not take this opportunity to jump out and destroy the great situation in western Sichuan for their own interests.

    After Wang Yuze came out of Wang Xiao's room, he did not go to the study, but went directly back to his small courtyard. These days, his fourth wife Yu Ying has completely integrated into it.  Yuying is obedient, sensible, and has none of the arrogant temper of the Manchu princess. In addition, she deliberately tries to please. She has completely won the approval of Wang Xiao's other three wives. The family is now living a happy life. Wang Yuze  Very happy about this too.  He is busy with too many things, so naturally he doesn't have much energy to spend on his family.  A stable backyard is undoubtedly what he hopes to see.

    When Wang Yuze returned to the yard, the four ladies were all basking in the sun.  Among them, Xiong Menghan was in the middle, and the other three ladies were surrounding her on both sides.  Xiong Menghan is now more than nine months pregnant and is about to give birth. She has become a key protection target during inspections of the embassy.  There were several maids in the yard. Wang Yuze's maid, Xiang'er, also made taking care of Xiong Menghan a top priority. She was so busy every day that her feet couldn't touch the ground, which made Wang Yuze feel heartbroken.  He was even considering whether to take over this little maid who had been serving him since childhood since he already had four wives.  He still remembers what he promised her back then.  However, the current situation in the mansion is not very good and he cannot allow him to think about this.

    "Master! Why are you here?" Seeing Wang Yuze coming, the maid Xiang'er's eyes flashed with surprise.

    "Brother Yuze, shouldn't you be handling official business in the study now?" Xiong Menghan also asked in surprise.  In the past, Wang Yuze would never come back unless it was dark, and they were all used to this.

    "I have something to tell you. I am going to Guangxi for inspection, and I will leave my home to you. Especially Meng Han, you have to pay attention to your health." Wang Yuze said.

    ¡°Brother Yuze, my eldest sister is about to give birth, how can you leave at this time?¡± Second Lady Yang Shilan said with some displeasure.

    "Shilan, let Brother Yuze go! Brother Yuze has something serious to do!" Xiong Menghan said.  However, there were tears in her eyes.  ?For a woman, giving birth to a child for the first time is a bit scary. At this time, she naturally hopes that her husband can stay by her side.  But she knew that Wang Yuze was not only her husband, but also the young marshal of western Sichuan and the future marshal, who would bear many important responsibilities.  And they, wives, cannot hold Wang Yuze back in these aspects.

    "Don't worry, Menghan. I'll be back in half a month at most. I will definitely be by your side when you give birth!" Wang Yuze said, holding Xiong Menghan's hand.  Although, these wives had no emotional basis at all before they got married.  However, I have to say that all of the girls Wang Xiao chose for him were good girls.  Life after marriage still involves less gathering and more separation, but even so, Wang Yuze still developed a good relationship with his wives.  Wang Yuze also knows that he gives too little time to his wives.  However, affairs in western Sichuan are busy now, and he has no choice.  After the Manchus are defeated and the country is unified, government affairs will be handed over to the cabinet and he will only be responsible for major matters. In this case, he will be much more relaxed and have more time to spend with his wife and children.

    "Yes!" Xiong Menghan nodded. After receiving Wang Yuze's assurance, she felt much better.

    After having lunch with his wives, Wang Yuze packed up a few clothes, took his adjutant Wang Wei and a few guards, left the patrolling ambassador's house, and went straight to Guangxi.  Although he only brought a few guards with him on the surface, secretly, there were at least dozens of guards sent by the guards patrolling the ambassador's house, all surrounding Wang Yuze. If there was a situation, they could improve Wang Yuze's well.  protection of.  In addition, in the past two years, the internal affairs department in western Sichuan has also stepped up its efforts to clean up spies from various countries lurking in western Sichuan.  Even if all the spies were not dug out, the harvest was very good.  The few remaining people have also entered the incubation period and dare not show up again.

    Wang Yuze and the others went to Guangxi this time and did not ride horses.  Instead, they got on the train like ordinary people, and because they were all wearing casual clothes, they didn't attract any attention.  The railway from Guiyang to Yongning, the section from Guiyang to Duyun has actually been opened to traffic. This is a section of railway that Western Sichuan began to repair after taking Yunnan and Guizhou. The purpose at that time was to expand to Guangxi and find an outlet for Western Sichuan.  Now to build the railway to Guangxi, we only need to build it from a small station called Mawei south of Duyun and then to the south.

    Due to technical reasons, the current trains are not equipped with shock-absorbing facilities. Sitting on them feels shaky and uncomfortable.  But for soldiers like Wang Yuze, it's not a big deal.  Last year, he led his army to attack thousands of miles and marched straight into the capital. It was much more difficult than this.  Haven't you persisted in this?  Not to mention this little problem.

    Wang Yuze was sitting in the middle of the carriage, near the window, next to Wang Wei.  Several guards were stationed inside the carriage, paying close attention to the situation inside the carriage.  Opposite Wang Yuze is a middle-aged man wearing a silk coat. Judging from his dress, he should be a businessman.  Next to him is his buddy.

    "Woo!" With two whistles, the train rumbled into action.  In Chengdu, there are three railway stations, namely East Railway Station, South Railway Station and North Railway Station.  The train that Wang Yuze and the others took departed from the East Station.  It's August now, so there aren't many people taking the train, so it doesn't seem crowded.  Because the weather was too hot, the car windows were wide open, and the wind outside the windows blew into the car, taking away the sweltering heat.

    "Boss, why are we going so far away from Guangxi? Didn't we have a good stay in Chengdu?" The guy sitting opposite Wang Yuze was probably his first time traveling far away, and he seemed a little reluctant.

    "You know nothing, little bastard! Guangxi has just been included in the rule of Western Sichuan, and it is waiting for development. If I enter first, boss, there will definitely be a lot of opportunities!" the middle-aged boss said proudly.

    ¡°Boss, I¡¯ve heard that Guangxi is a very poor place and the folk customs are quite strong. How can you make money?¡± said the waiter.

    "You don't know this, right? That place in Guangxi seems to be extremely poor, but in fact it has a lot of resources. There are huge reserves of non-ferrous metals there. However, the government has restricted mining in this area, so we have no choice.  . But the cane sugar production in Guangxi is very abundant. Moreover, the price is much lower than that in Chengdu. The labor there is also cheap. If boss, I open a cane sugar processing factory there, I will not be able to make a lot of money!  "The middle-aged boss was very proud.

    Guangxi has just been incorporated into the rule of Western Sichuan, but many businessmen in Western Sichuan are already eagerly waiting to enter this undeveloped virgin land.
