"Before I left Saint Petersburg, His Majesty the Tsar specifically entrusted me with the task of improving Moscow's economic construction.
The previous state of Moscow was very poor, which I believe you are all well aware of, with its economy being a complete mess.
I think I have nearly completed His Majesty the Tsar's mission, provided Moscow follows the path I have laid out, a brilliant future is certain.
Please have faith in Moscow, believe in the City Government, and even more in His Majesty the Tsar—the Empire will become increasingly powerful!" Zhu Wencong was concluding.
The principle that two tigers cannot share one mountain is simple, Zhu Wencong did not want to clash with Alexander II nor did he wish to arm-wrestle with him.
The establishment of Moscow's Economic Special Zone was purely to repay foreign debts, much like how the Anglo-French countries managed the Qing court's Customs—if you do not progress, your enemies will help you to progress.
