The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 458 Victory Parade

So far, the Evernight City project has been a great success, and Chu Chu and Zheng Xiu'e have received nearly 10 taels of silver.

Too many high-ranking officials have membership cards, but they are not the buyers. Merchants are also lamenting that "those who are all over the body are not silkworm farmers."

This is really not an accident, but an inevitable result.

The capital is the political center of a large country with a population of hundreds of millions. It is the largest city in this era, with a population of over one million. Among them, the proportion of high-ranking officials and nobles is five times that of other cities.

It is impossible for Huang Han to invest in a project like Wanda Plaza in the largest market in the world today without a sensational effect.

What's more, it presents a new concept of service and shows the future development direction of home furnishing. Many novelty gadgets are works beyond the times. It is normal for princes and grandchildren to linger and forget to return.

But some people don't want others to get rich, and the extravagance of the city that never sleeps makes many Qingliu ministers furious, and many people start to join forces and prepare to write to the emperor to ban it.

Don't think that Qingliu is a good thing, Wen Tiren is a high-ranking official, and he is still a treacherous minister according to historical evaluation.

These people only see luxury and money, completely ignoring that among the thousands of people, more than half of them are women who have obtained jobs that are enough for three or five people to live, and will enable thousands of families to obtain a stable life.

They can't even see how many job opportunities there are in supporting services, how much income their families will get, the simplest example, how many original sales channels can the vegetable farmers who engage in greenhouses have, and how many families start to become well-off with the big purchases in the city that never sleeps ?

Because of the city that never sleeps, you can pick a load of tofu nao for a dinner market, and the profit is enough to support your family. If you make a bucket of black sesame paste and sell it for two hours, you can definitely earn enough money to support five or six people...

Now there are fifty or sixty such businesses, and there are two to three hundred entrepreneurs, and a distinctive snack street has been formed.

The first thing to open on this street is not a stall, but a duck blood vermicelli flagship store with three facades on the third floor specially set aside, and Mrs. Li San has an office upstairs.

This woman who lost her man is now a shrewd and capable general of the banner guards, with more than three hundred banner guards under her command and two or three hundred helpers.

She is not only extremely loyal to the "Red Banner Army", but also has a sense of ownership. She always does her best to do things, spying on intelligence development offline, and seeking more job opportunities for more women is going on every day.

Mrs. Li San now has the value of force. She can skillfully load and release self-generated short guns. She can shoot with two guns. She can shoot without missing a bullet within sixty paces. There are more than one hundred women under her command who also have short guns. They can fight well when organized. One makes the general enemy cry father and mother.

Zheng Guochang was very anxious when he heard the news that Qingliu was going to impeach his son-in-law. He knew that Everbright City had invested several 10 taels of silver.

He was already preparing to contact some good friends to fight for reason in the court, but unexpectedly, there was a dramatic turning point when the swords were on the verge of breaking out, and Qingliu, who was originally aggressive, died down.

Because these people are stupid because they didn't study, wouldn't it be humiliating to impeach General Ping-Liao and his son who won the "Yanbei Great Victory" beheading more than [-] Tartars and saving [-] to [-] Han people at this moment?
Zheng Xiu'e and Chu Chu are not easy to save fuel. They called on all the workers in the city that never sleeps to bring their families to hold a victory parade at noon on December [-]th, in this way to celebrate the Ming army Yang Wei on the prairie.

The final result was better than expected. Under Huang Sifang's arrangement and Li Sanniang's leading flag guards, too many merchants and hawkers who benefited from the Nightless City took the initiative to join the parade, and many princes and grandchildren also came to join in the fun.

The parade team shouted "Long live the Holy Son of Heaven!" "The emperor's grace is mighty!" "Thanks to the grace of the Son of Heaven for the city that never sleeps for bringing job opportunities to the ordinary people of Shengdou."

Then there are dozens of women representatives from refugees or poor residents of the capital who are now working in the city that never sleeps.

They told the onlookers how much money they had earned this month, how much miscellaneous grains they had bought, and how much money their men had earned. Add a new dress for the new year.

Then someone shouted slogans. Of course, the leaders were arranged by the flag guards in advance.

At this time, it is necessary to downplay the Huang Han father and son, downplay the "Red Banner Army", and highlight the greatness, glory and correctness of the Chongzhen Emperor's Enzhun Everbright City project, which has brought a good life for thousands of households without worrying about food and clothing.

A victory parade was held on the street. The number of people in the parade plus the crowd of onlookers gathered 20 million. The Bingmasi, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and all the clerks and servants in the yamen took to the streets to maintain order.

How could Chongzhen not know such a big movement?
The emperor was most worried about the large gathering of the people, because at this time, if someone with ulterior motives instigates it, a disaster may happen. Therefore, the Beijing camp has assembled and is on standby, and if there is a disturbance, it will be quickly suppressed.

During the parade, spies from Jinyiwei and Dongchang continued to report the latest situation to Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing, and Cao Huachun immediately reported it to the emperor.

When the emperor heard that 10,000+ people were shouting: "Long live the Holy Son of Heaven!" Therefore, I sincerely thank the emperor for his kindness.

Knowing that Emperor Chongzhen loves saving face the most, Huang Han specially sent Zheng Xiaozhang to the capital to teach him face-to-face advice, so Chu Chu and Zheng Xiu'e were able to launch this victory parade aimed at kidnapping public opinion.

Being able to benefit thousands of households and provide food and clothing for the common people gave Chongzhen a sense of accomplishment. Only then did he ask carefully what was going on in the city that never sleeps, and why so many people were employed.

Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen are two eunuchs, Zheng Xiu'e brought Chu Chu to personally invite them when the Everbright City opened, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.

Zheng Xiu'e personally took them to visit several places and played a game of billiards with them. After that, Huang Sifang accompanied the two inner ministers to the sauna, watched singing and dancing and drinking, and finally arranged for them to live in the presidential suite.

The emperor opened his mouth to ask, and the two loyal eunuchs of course answered truthfully, but unfortunately there were many novel things that could not be described, which made the emperor dizzy.

Chongzhen's final understanding was that the city that never sleeps is a good place, where it is as warm as spring, where eating, drinking, and sleeping are all different, and even taking a bath has come up with new tricks, which makes people want to stop.

Business in Everbright City is booming, and General Ping Liao should be able to earn a lot of money, but it is impossible to predict how much he can earn.

The young emperor's curiosity was aroused, and he couldn't help thinking of quietly going out of the palace to have a look at the city that never sleeps.
