Chapter 872 Heaven Belongs to Daming, Hell Belongs to Europe (Part [-], please subscribe)
Is this the Ming Empire?

Is it the Ming Empire that the New York Times called "shame for all Americans"?
On the day he set foot on the land of Yingtian, Mark Twain was in extreme shock like many people who had just arrived here. What was he shocked about?

It's not just the high-rise buildings here, nor the 24-hour hot water supply, nor the clean streets.But... the lives of ordinary people.

"We should go where the white people live, my friend!"

John, a special reporter of The New York Times, felt extremely lost after he came to Daming.

As an urbanite, after he arrived in Yingtian, he realized why people who visited Daming, including former Governor Lincoln and other politicians, would describe themselves as "shameless", not because they wanted to use this word to describe themselves. It’s not about myself, but because it really makes people feel ashamed.

Compared with the dirty and smelly streets of New York, the streets here not only do not see horse manure everywhere, but also do not see garbage dumped on the ground, and of course there are no passers-by who urinate on the street, and even public toilets Not to mention the flush toilet, and the inside is very clean.

People here are well-dressed, well-mannered, and mostly educated.All of this makes John, who advocates the "Da Ming Threat Theory", very melancholy. There is no black spot to be black. How can this be worthy of his purpose of coming here?
Yes, the reason why he came here was to blacken this damn place well.

Tell the whole world - Daming is definitely not a paradise.

Heaven!

This is what the German guy in England said—if there is a heaven in the world, it must be Daming!
Then that guy described how happy Daming's workers' life was in an envious tone.

They only need to work ten to twelve hours a day, their income is much higher than that of European and American counterparts, and they also have retirement insurance, medical insurance, and work-related injury insurance. They live in "a manor-like building with a beautiful environment". Children receive a free education in public schools and get a free lunch.

In a word, this is heaven, if there is a heaven on earth.

Such compliments made many European and American workers eager to come to Daming. Who are the people who come here?
They are all the best people, not only university scholars and fresh graduates, but also inventors and the most skilled craftsmen.

Heaven is what everyone yearns for, and heaven is what everyone yearns for.

But what about heaven?
But it belongs to Daming!
Because of this, in John's view, this so-called "paradise on earth" is a fiction, an imagination, fabricated by Daming through their newspapers, and even those reporters who received "Jin Mingyuan".

Even the "Life" pictorial, which is very popular in New York, in his opinion, the photos on it must have been carefully selected, no, this is to confuse the American people and make them believe that there is a paradise on earth, so it must be Daming.

Then lure young and talented Americans to Ming Dynasty, and let outstanding Americans become part of Ming Dynasty's war machine, this is simply unacceptable.

"The electric light was invented by the Americans, but they brought the inventor to Daming, and then the electric light became a gift from Ming to the whole world. This is really absurd."

John's words made Mark Twain shrug his shoulders helplessly, and then said.

"John, my friend, you know that when the inventor of the electric light bulb was in New York, he was just a poor man living in a slum without any fame, but here he even became a millionaire."

The inventor of the light bulb that Mark mentioned was of course Henri Goebbels. In another world, he was buried in history, and people only knew Edison. As for the real inventor, he died of poverty.But in this world Henri Goebbels was successful.

He not only gained wealth, but also gained fame. Daming was very happy to associate his name with Daming. There was even a biography specially published to describe his life in poverty in the United States and his completely different fate after arriving in Daming. The reason for this is to tell everyone, especially those scholars and experts, that their talents will be buried in the United States, but in Ming Dynasty, their talents will be fully displayed.

Of course, John was very clear about Daming's ulterior motives. Facing his friend's rhetorical question, he even said it directly.

"Hey, my friend, haven't you discovered that all this is just a conspiracy of the Ming Empire? They are just doing it deliberately to plunder the inventors of the United States and Europe! We must be vigilant against their actions... "

Mark Twain shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and just said casually.

"Well, I don't rule out the possibility."

Mark Twain, who knew that John had turned against Ming Dynasty to the point of bewilderment, did not refute his friend. In his opinion, an inventor like Henry Goebbels, since no one in the United States cared about his invention, then he arrived After the Ming dynasty, wouldn't it be a good thing to be able to give full play to his ingenuity?

"But we have to admit one thing—in any case, the whole world has benefited from Henry Goebbels' inventions, but if Daming didn't discover him, then his inventions may be buried forever, and even now, we are still living in the world. In the dark!"

"We have kerosene! We have oil lamps!"

John said directly.

"Of course, I also know that the electric light is the future, but if Henry Goebbels doesn't come to Daming, he will definitely be successful in the United States..."

really?
Mark Twain couldn't help being a little suspicious.

"Actually, the fundamental reason why that guy's invention was not taken seriously is because he can't speak English. How can a guy who can't speak English have the opportunity to introduce his invention to the world? Of course he can only live in a slum!"

While they were talking, John Andre and Mark Twain finally came to the white ghetto.

"Look, there are completely two worlds here!"

John excitedly pointed at the European-style buildings on both sides of the street, pointing at those dilapidated buildings and said in a sigh.

"What did we see in the community there? It was the life of those Daming people—that is, the Huaxia people. They lived happily and perfectly, but here? I saw poverty in the newspaper! Mark , my friend, now, this is the most real side of Daming..."

When he said these words, he was clearly sighing, but he seemed a little excited.

Why are you so excited?Because he finally found a place for himself to describe.Daming is definitely not some kind of paradise, just like everything that is presented before his eyes now.

Where is this paradise?It's clearly hell, yes, that's right.It was hell, and it was hell created by the Ming people.

"This is not only real, but also the darkest daimyo. You can see that the people living here are all Europeans. They have created a hell for Europeans here!"
