Chapter 32

Today, Aden City can be said to be the largest city near the entire coast. Please use the pinyin domain name of this site to visit us. The reason is that it is the earliest city established by Zhao Fubo, and it is also the only city that Arabs can enter without changing their religion. Unlike Alexandria, Damietta, etc., cities that only allow Chinese people to exist. Those places, no matter what religion they were in the past, will be subject to quite strict restrictions, and not everyone has the opportunity to enter.

Therefore, this caused Aden City, one of the most concentrated places for merchants in almost the entire Arab Empire. Because of the concentration of merchants, housing prices in the city kept rising, and real estate merchants in the city were constantly building, but this still could not meet the needs of population growth. At this moment, Shu Baian and Wang Wentong stood together on the drying platform of the high-rise building, watching the traffic in the entire Aden City.

As a "family", Wang Wentong naturally paid more attention to Shu Bai'an. As the consul, it can be said that Shu Bai'an was the first, and Aden City was well managed at the moment. Although there is no respect for any father-in-law in the Chinese system, Shu Bai'an is the only person who has to look at this huge and prosperous Aden City, you should know that he must be a person with an unlimited number of predecessors.

Based on his old insight, Wang Wentong deliberately looked for opportunities to be alone with Shu Baian. He knew that Zhao Fubo hated the collusion of officials the most, but such a normal interaction should not have any problems. Otherwise, the officials would not be allowed to stop talking.

"Your Excellency the Consul, I have to say that this Aden is really an excellent city, under your governance...!"

Before he could finish his words, Shu Baian had already shook his head lightly.

"Mr. Wang, although I am the consul, I still set the rules when His Highness was here. I just walked down the road he paved. Speaking of which, if it weren't for the past few years, I would never have thought that a city could manage like this, and a city could create so much wealth. Mr. Wang, speaking of this Aden, although he suffered war when he was defeated by His Highness, I would say that His Highness sent them into the Fuwan. Now I dare to promise that no matter how I ask anyone, I will not leave here!"

Shu Baian's words were not faulty at all. It can be seen that he, who had read traditional Confucian classics in the Song Dynasty, still knew how to be a human being and an official.

However, fewer and fewer people believe in this kind of thing on China Island. Most young people have even cut their hair into spiritual short hair like Zhao Fubo. Of course, on China Island, which advocates the legal system, does not force others to leave any hairstyle, but the newly formed army is all short hair. Moreover, the short hair looks almost bald, and the beard is not allowed to be kept. Of course, this is not due to religious considerations, but for the need for hygiene.

"Of course, of course, if it weren't for Your Highness's new policy, I'm afraid this Huaxia Island wouldn't have developed so rapidly. So..."

Wang Wentong was still talking nonstop while picking up his beard. But Shu Baian was already thinking, what did Wang Wentong mean in front of him mean? What should he do if he said these neither salty nor light words?

"Mr. Wang, you have something to say. Although I have said that the progress of this Aden province is not a vain, but officials like the Song Dynasty are lying. I mean it. Everything here was thought out by Mr. Martin after his highness came down. I was still the owner of the island on Datongbu Island at that time!"

When Wang Wentong heard Shu Baian's inquiry, he bowed his hand, and his face showed some embarrassment.

"Well, since the consul is so painful, I will no longer go around in circles. It is very ashamed to say that my son-in-law is now an Mongol official. Although his heart is already facing His Highness, he is still waiting for the opportunity anyway. What I am worried about is this matter, I am afraid that he will stay with the Mongol for a long time and do not understand His Highness's new policy, but will mislead the matter in the future!"

Wang Wentong said these words, which aroused Shu Baian's thoughts all the time, but he didn't say to Zhao Fubo. That is, the officials on Aden and the so-called officials in the Song Dynasty were simply the products of the two worlds. On one hand, they advocate professional officials, and on the other hand, they were playing tricks. If Zhao Fubo's temper was based on his future return to the Song Dynasty, I was afraid that the official would die a lot.

Then there is a question: how to manage the huge territory and huge population of the Chinese Empire in the future. In the past, Zhao Fubo was in Europe and it would take several months to communicate with him. So now he has returned, and as his father-in-law, he should tell him what he wants. Otherwise, just as Wang Wentong was worried, if he really went back in the future, would an old official not be used? But if he used an old official, would other problems arise, especially the habits of the old bureaucrats have any impact on the future of China?

"Brother Wang said very well. I have thought about this matter. It seems that we must have an effective way to solve this matter fundamentally. Otherwise, if Your Highness goes back in the future, it will be a big or small thing!"

Is this a thing? It's yes, or it can't be. The reason for the problem is how officials in the past should deal with it. If they are improper and have power, they may cause trouble everywhere. Although with the Chinese army's skills, they are not afraid of them causing trouble, it is a serious internal friction after all.

If it is not a problem, then in the future, the army will be everywhere and will be unrest and turmoil. But it is not necessary to manage many places to many talents. If we rely solely on training from Huaxia Island and other places, it will never be enough. Of course, this matter is just a problem proposed to Zhao Fubo. For the time being, when there is no solution to the current problem, there is nothing to say.

"Yes, you have been managing the Aden province for a long time, so naturally you have a clear understanding of the world. There is a report on this matter below that I want to show you, but I am afraid that something is wrong, but I want to ask you to take a look first. Maybe you can discuss this matter early and come up with a solution!"

It was not until Wang Wentong said this that Shu Baian realized that his intentions were profound. This matter seemed to be done for his son's worries. In fact, he not only solved his worries for his son, but also showed good things to himself, but more importantly, he expressed his talent to Zhao Fubo, his great talent. Thinking about this, he pushed this matter out lightly.
