Chapter seven hundred and fifteenth sealed
Although the Bai family was attacked, there was no damage. After all, Lao Wang focused on protecting the Bai family. The personal guards surrounded the Bai family and the Changsheng Sect attacked the Bai family, which was simply a desperate situation.
However, after accompanying Bai Su for a few days, Bai Chen and Lao Wang hurried to Beijing. Although Bai Su refused to give up Xiao Wu, Bai Chen promised that he would often take Xiao Wu to visit Bai Su.
Although it is separated by two places, with the relatively convenient transportation now, you can go back to the Bai family at any time, so Bai Su didn't say anything.
This time, Li Helian also came to Beijing with Bai Chen.
Of course, she has not received a surname yet, but if she can obtain a surname from the royal family, it will be a great honor for anyone, and the surname Li is much more noble than Helian.
In less than a day, Bai Chen had already appeared in the capital.
Today, the capital city is like a day, and the streets are so prosperous that it is simply crowded.
People from all over the Han and Tang dynasties gathered in the capital because the railway laying speed is too fast today. It can be said that the speed of laying the railway is comparable to the speed of a carriage walking. In other words, the time a carriage travels from south to north is enough to connect a north-south railway line, and this speed is only fast but not slow.
This is mainly because the Han and Tang dynasties invested regardless of cost, and there were a large number of slaves, and they would be put into use immediately every time a section of the railway was connected.
Li Helian has never passed by the capital. When she saw the crowds of people on the streets, and then saw the buildings standing far and near, it seemed that she was already in another world.
There is also a flat and solid road surface. The ground has been initially constructed in the capital, and subway lines are still under the ground.
Only then could Li Helian realize the gap between the Han and Tang Dynasties and Baekje. Li Helian followed Bai Chen with a complicated mood.
She hated and feared Bai Chen, but was a little happy because according to her agreement with Bai Chen, she was about to fly up to the branch and turn into a phoenix.
Nowadays, some of the periphery of the palace have been opened to the public at the suggestion of Bai Chen and have become a tourist attraction for the people. This has also brought considerable income to the old emperor. Although it cannot be compared with those big projects, it is enough to repair the palace, and there is no need to withdraw a fee from the treasury every year as before.
Bai Chen took Li Helian into the palace, and Li Helian even seemed to enter the Grand View Garden. Looking at the magnificent, magnificent and majestic palace, the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was like a city in the city. Compared with that in Baekje, the palace in Baekje is no different from the small courtyard of a farmer.
When passing by the Noon Gate, a huge film and television screen immediately caught Li Helian's eyes.
Li Helian has seen film and television screens elsewhere, but she has never seen such a large film and television screen. The entire capital is played in a loop on the film and television screen, including time-lapse photography, high-altitude aerial photography, and beautiful sunrises and sunsets. They all show the magnificence of the capital, and at the same time show the ancient heritage of the capital and the new era and new look, the turbulent collision between the new and the old, the spectacularity of the Forbidden City, the majesty of the Forbidden City, the novelty of the commercial street, and the wealth brought by the dragon car entering and leaving the capital.
For this sacred and inviolable city in the minds of Baekje people, Li He walked into the palace with a complicated mood.
Because Bai Chen’s token and Lao Wang accompanied him, he was unobstructed along the way.
The old emperor at this time must have been working and relaxing in the imperial garden.
Today's Royal Garden has changed its appearance after Bai Chen's reconstruction.
It is no longer just a monotonous garden of flowers and plants, but not only the old emperor can come, but also the guards and palace maids who are taking turns to change shifts.
Today, some old rules have gradually been relaxed in the capital. Those palace maids are no longer forbidden for the emperor. In fact, even in the past, palace maids can leave the palace and return home after they were forty years old.
There were a few small boats on the large lake, and under the green forest were several guards and maids having fun at the barbecue.
There were also several guards practicing on the grass. Of course, there were still guards on duty patrolling and walking on the forest path.
The old emperor sat comfortably on the swing chair. The winter sun always brings gentleness, which is the most relaxing time for the old emperor every day.
"Royce, bring today's newspaper."
The little eunuch beside the old emperor immediately took a stack of newspapers: "Your Majesty, this is today's Beijing Daily, this is the Han and Tang Weekly magazine that just came out today, this is..."
The old emperor picked up a newspaper and looked through it. On the first page, he saw a photo that occupied half of the page.
"The eldest prince Li Lansheng returned to Beijing, and the mysterious woman accompanied him, suspected to be a new love..."
The old emperor widened his eyes because he was not looking at Li Lansheng or the woman walking with Li Lansheng, but another figure appeared in one corner, Bai Chen.
"Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"
At this moment, a voice rang behind the old emperor.
The old emperor suddenly turned around and stood up excitedly: "Bai Chen! You kid finally want to come to visit me."
Bai Chen had already sat next to the old emperor: "Your Majesty, look at what you said, it seems like I am a cold-hearted boy, ruthless and unrighteous person."
"If you remember me, you wouldn't have sent your son to me when I was in trouble, but you should have come here in person."
"How could I know? I was in the outer world at that time..." Bai Chen looked at the old emperor helplessly, and he couldn't say that he was the stone.
"Who is she?" The old emperor discovered that the woman who came with Bai Chen was the woman who appeared on the front page with Li Lansheng on the entertainment page.
"Your Majesty, please take a look at the plan I gave you first." Bai Chen glanced at Li Helian and handed the old emperor a plan.
The old emperor read a few pages of the plan and was shocked. Bai Chen's son was very good at doing things, and his father was not inferior. He had a big appetite and wanted to swallow Baekje without moving one soldier and one soldier.
The old emperor couldn't help but look at Li Helian more: "You are Li Helian?"
"Helian, a subject from outside, and pay homage to the emperor."
"I want to accept you as a daughter, are you willing?"
Although Li Helian had already expected it, she didn't expect it. All this was so smooth that she was a little unbelievable.
There is no process of obstruction or scrutiny, even if it is not that simple to enthrone an official, right? What about it? It is not even a princess.
But for this kid, it was just a matter of one sentence.
Perhaps as a citizen of Baekje, Li Helian could not imagine how noble a princess of the Han and Tang dynasties was.
For Li Helian, a princess from the Han and Tang dynasties was definitely more noble than the Baekje king.
Because in the eyes of Li Helian and even everyone in Baekje, the Han and Tang dynasties were the supreme country of the Celestial Empire.
Moreover, the Han and Tang dynasties could also bear the title of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire. Everything here refreshed Li Helian and flourished... It was like the Kingdom of Heaven.
Such an empire is comparable to Baekje.
Not to mention this super capital, even a small place like Heyang is countless times more prosperous than Baekje.
Li Helian even felt that if he could bring his mother to the capital and live here for a long time, then why bother to please the King of Baekje?
"What? Don't you?" The old emperor asked softly when he saw Li Helian being stunned.
Li Helian suddenly came to his senses. He knelt in front of the old emperor and shouted in fear and fear: "My daughter is willing to pay homage to her wielding father."
"Okay... Very good. I give you the surname Li. From now on, you will be my adopted daughter. She is named Princess Baekje. She has three thousand silks, a thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and a thousand acres of fertile land. Your mother Helian is named the mother of Baekje. She will give you a golden dragon order to exercise Baekje on my behalf. Any prince and prince will come in person when he sees this order."
"Thank you, long live long live long live long..."
"Old Wang, take Helian down and teach her some etiquette first." The old emperor said: "I will talk to Bai Chen and I."
After Li Helian was taken down, the old emperor immediately became polite: "Boy, where is my granddaughter?"
"Are you talking about small flowers or grass?" Bai Chen grinned.
"Ask aware of it, of course it's my little maid." The old emperor snorted with a stern face: "You don't believe me so much? I think I will harm a little girl?"
"This..." Bai Chen looked at the old emperor in embarrassment, and he was really a little scared.
After all, Xiao Mu was the emperor of the previous dynasty. When the old emperor saw her, no one knew what would happen.
When the old emperor saw Bai Chen's face, he even glared: "I'm not that stingy. Not to mention that she is still young, and Long Qin has disappeared for thousands of years. Even if it was Long Qin or yesterday, I would not take any anger at all. Besides, the Han and Tang dynasties took the world of Long Qin, and it was not Long Qin who took the world of Han and Tang dynasties. Moreover, today's Han and Tang dynasties, no one can take it away with your father and son, so I don't need to worry."
"Okay, okay, this time I'm a villain, okay." Bai Chen said awkwardly: "I'll bring my little wife into the palace later, but now we both have something to talk about."
In fact, Bai Chen or his other identity has never been involved in political affairs. It’s not that he is not qualified, but because Bai Chen has been avoiding suspicion and has always put forward opinions.
"Just business? Is it a business?" The old emperor had tasted the sweetness. At the beginning, as long as Shi Tou said that he had something to talk about, it would definitely be a considerable income.
"It's a business, but the investment in Han and Tang this time is not small, even better than the investment in laying railways."
The old emperor took a breath: "That means that there is an investment of over 10 billion yuan?"
"This is the first phase...and then it will involve the entire Han and Tang dynasties. This is an infrastructure project. Relatively speaking, most of these investments will be returned to the private sector."
"Tell me a good talk." The old emperor is no longer as ignorant as before.
He already knows that many investments are actually very worthwhile, and whether they make money or not, they are very worth it.
For example, when laying a railway, although the court kept taking out money, in fact, the money was transferred around the people and returned to the court. This is the economic stimulus that Shi Tou had mentioned before.
Moreover, many officials in the imperial court have accepted this theory and no longer excluded large-scale investment projects.
If it were the past, if it were 100 million taels of silver, it would be a big fuss in the court.
But now, an investment of 100 million taels of silver does not require court, and the central province can approve it.
Only an investment of more than 3 billion taels will pass through the court and finally be approved by the old emperor.
"If the railway is laid and the dragon car are opened to allow the Han and Tang dynasties to enter the take-off stage, and the national strength of the Han and Tang dynasties is increased by a hundred times, then this project can increase the Han and Tang dynasties by a thousand times, or even higher."
The old emperor only felt that all the blood in his body had been poured into his head. If there was a person who told him that he could double the national strength of the Han and Tang dynasties, he would make two choices, one was to throw that person into prison, or to make him the prime minister.
But now, it is difficult for the old emperor to feel any more excited, because the national strength of the Han and Tang dynasties has increased by more than a few dozen times, and this is far from the limit, and the Han and Tang dynasties still have not slowed down.
Now Bai Chen told him that he could increase the Han and Tang dynasties by another thousand times, how could the old emperor not be excited?
In this world, only their father and son said this, the old emperor would believe it, and would unswervingly believe it.
"Dragon car has its limitations, such as fixed points and single lines. Even if the railway is covered nationwide, there are still many cities that cannot be popularized. However, the project I mentioned is to make up for the shortcomings of railways and to completely change the way people travel. This is a matter of double profit for the people and the court."
