Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 549 Working Lunch with Wu Min
Bai Mingxiu is in the highest building in Dhaka Prefecture, the executive suite on the top floor of the 60-story five-star hotel Weiyang Hotel, overlooking the whole city, and said with emotion: "It really deserves to be the largest city in South Asia. This level of prosperity, I feel No less than some large cities in China.”

Even Bai Mingxiu himself has some difficulty understanding and accepting that Bangladesh is not a very poor country in his other dimension that is easily affected by floods and has a population of hundreds of millions.Bengal under the Ming Dynasty, like another Jiangnan region, was almost extremely rich.

There is a large amount of arable land here, with good water and heat conditions, and the crop yields are very high.In addition, there are a large number of textile workshops here, and it was once the most important textile supplier in the world.Later, Wu Min came here and completely changed the local society. What he did in Bangladesh was no less significant than in Myanmar.Through a large number of state-owned enterprises, the low-caste labor force was directly expropriated from the high-caste class, and then the Chaiminda system was abolished, connecting the Ming Dynasty with railways and sea routes, and continuously setting up industries.

Although Wu Min's hope of establishing a mature heavy industry failed, the Bengal region became a very important light industrial product supply base for Ming Dynasty.A large number of mechanical weaving and clothing have replaced the original manual workshops.From all kinds of textiles to clothing and shoemaking, various printing and dyeing industries, and even a local textile materials research institute has been established.From paper making, printing to publishing, from furniture manufacturing to wood product processing, from toys to stationery, Bangladesh can produce almost all kinds of gadgets that people need every day.Its scale is no smaller than the Pearl River Delta Light Industry Base of Daming and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Light Industry Base.

Relying on its tax-exempt status as the Department of Propaganda and Consolation, Bangladesh's light industrial products have widely entered the southwestern provinces of Ming Dynasty and even the Nanyang market by virtue of the Great Southwest Railway of Ming Dynasty.

In Dhaka, it is already the same as the luxurious big city in Ming Dynasty. It has perfect urban planning, spacious streets, ever-bright street lights and colorful neon lights, nightclubs with carnival day and night, and various commercial centers. Here With a population of more than 200 million, it is the Pearl of South Asia.

Xu Renshu, Bai Mingxiu's confidential secretary, said: "The Consolation Envoy Wu Min has a very high reputation in Bangladesh. People widely affirm his ability and are very satisfied with the efficiency and integrity of the Consolation Department government under his governance."

Bai Mingxiu nodded: "Wu Min has always been the most benchmark civil servant in our regime. He is talented and dares to serve. He has stayed in Bangladesh for 20 years. He built this place almost brick by brick. I heard that he took After leaving Bangladesh, it took only one year to cover all the places in Bangladesh, so a very complete development plan was also formulated. The Bangladesh Xuanwei Department to be established will be the second-level administrative unit of our country, with a total GDP of Being able to be assigned to the fourth place in the country, even ahead of the huge North American overseas consular officer and Australian overseas consular officer combined, you can see how powerful Wu Min is."

After hearing Bai Mingxiu's words, Xu Renshu seemed to have something to say, but he held back and didn't say it.

Bai Mingxiu asked with a smile: "Do you think that people in Bangladesh only recognize him as a consolation envoy, but not me as the emperor of Ming Dynasty, so I should be suspicious of him?"

Xu Renshu blushed, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is not an ordinary person, but we are ordinary people, and ordinary people would have such thoughts."

Bai Mingxiu smiled: "I trust Wu Min. I originally wanted to transfer him to the Legislative Yuan. He might have the opportunity to be the prime minister of the empire, but he refused. Wu Min is willing to stay in the Southwest for more than [-] years. For a lonely person, he also knows that his greatest ability lies in this kind of foreign governance. When he returns to his hometown, he will not be able to perform what he is best at. After all, many people can come to be prime ministers, but to be a huge consolation Governor-General of the Division or Overseas Territories, no one does it better."

At noon, Wu Min personally came to Weiyang Hotel where Bai Mingxiu was staying, and brought a bottle of good wine.

Very intimately, the two of them ate alone in a small box in the hotel's luxury restaurant.There are not many Ming officials with such honor.

Wu Min always looks like that, she looks very ordinary, but she feels that she is always planning something dark in her heart.He smiled and served Bai Mingxiu Man the wine, and said: "This wine is quite interesting, it is from Morocco. It can use our liquor technology, and it is made locally. The flavor is quite different from the local liquor."

Bai Mingxiu picked up the wine glass, smacked it a few times, and then said to Wu Min: "The factory is run by the supervisor of ceremonies, so in theory, I am the owner of this winery."

When Wu Min heard this, he was astonished, and said with a smile, "This is a joke. The business of the Supervisor of Rituals has been getting bigger and bigger in recent years."

"Every year, the newspapers announce the operation and revenue of the Supervisor of Rituals. Did you know that there is a joke in the local Ming Dynasty, saying that the only person in the whole country who pays taxes according to the regulations and dare not do any tax-saving and tax-avoiding tricks is the Emperor Guangfu himself. "

Bai Mingxiu laughed at himself, and said, "Actually, with my little money, I can't even rank in the top fifty on the Daming Rich List."

Wu Min nodded, and said gently: "No matter how rich you are, what can you do? This world is still dominated by Ming Dynasty, and the country's financial resources are still far superior to individuals. There are six Bangladeshi businessmen on the top [-] of the rich list. It’s not the same as being cautious. I think His Majesty is doing the right thing, and can’t give capital a chance to meddle in the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty should always be based on the interests of the whole people, not a few groups.”

Bai Mingxiu has also heard that Wu Min is very bad. The famous and well-known businessmen in Bangladesh, in fact, when they started their businesses, they more or less followed the general trend and invested in industries. But if someone is doing land speculation, For speculative matters, Wu Min would stumbling them, various audits and tax inspections to overturn old accounts and so on.

Bai Mingxiu asked again: "It's because you didn't come to pick up the plane, but to deal with matters in India. What's the situation?"

Wu Min was shocked, and said: "Your Majesty came at the right time this time. We had discussed the issue of South Asia in correspondence many years ago. His Majesty joked that South Asia would be turned into a joint advocacy leader of Ming Dynasty. Our layout in India is also very important." Quite a lot. Now I'm afraid it's time for the fruit to come to fruition."

Wu Min rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile: "I have been a Meng Burma Consolation Envoy for 20 years, and it's time to move. I beg His Majesty for a favor, and ask the Governor-General of the South Asia Joint Consolation Leader to do it." .”
