Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 510 Zhu Yunxi's Selfishness!

After Zhu Di entered the capital, other Ming vassals and overseas vassals also entered Beijing one after another under the "escort" of the Ming warship.

Compared with Zhu Di's shock, these overseas feudal lords were even more shocked after seeing the prosperity of Ming Dynasty.

The peninsula envoys were shocked, but they could still maintain a minimum of decency.

After all, when they "hunted west" with King Li Chenggui, they already had a taste of the style of Ming Dynasty.

In contrast, the Northern and Southern Emperors from Japan, as well as the real ruler of Japan, Yuan Daoyi, were completely subdued by the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

Empress Komatsu Emperor Ganren has not stopped talking since he landed, constantly shocked by what he saw in front of him.

Whether it was the towering walls of Jinling City or the tall houses on both sides, they all gave him a strong shock.

"Da Ming deserves to be called the Kingdom of Heaven, the size of the capital alone is far beyond our imagination!"

Empress Kameyama Emperor Xicheng temporarily put aside the conflict between the North and the South, and echoed Gan Rendao.

"really!"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that there is a city with a population of over one million..."

"This towering city wall is like a heavenly palace. I am afraid that even the most powerful enemy in the world will not be able to climb this city wall?"

The city walls of Nanjing City brought them a strong sense of oppression, which made them subconsciously develop a heart of worship.

Compared with the two bumpkin emperors, Yuan Daoyi was much calmer.

But his calmness was just a forced calmness on his face, and his heart was already churning with turmoil.

"Is this the prosperity of Daming?"

"I'm afraid there are no less than tens of thousands of ships on the dock?"

"There are also shops on the shore, pedestrians, and the men who carry goods..."

"How did Daming rule so many people and make them so orderly without any trouble?"

Yuan Daoyi was the Shogun of the Shogun, the person who really held the real power in that area of ​​Japan, and spent his whole life in the process of calming down the chaos and unifying Japan.

In his opinion, it is already difficult to lead a team of tens of thousands of people, but it is unbelievable that the tens of thousands of people on the Daming Wharf can still maintain such an orderly order.

What shocked him even more was that there was no official management on the pier, it was more like craftsmen spontaneously obeying certain rules...

Yuan Daoyi felt that he had learned a lot of knowledge, and he planned to discuss the art of mastering subordinates with the officials of the Ming Dynasty when he had the opportunity.

Just a pier has shocked the two emperors for a long time. When they stepped into Jinling City, they were all amazed when they saw the mirror-like streets, rows of shops, houses, and fast horse-drawn carriages passing by from time to time. .

"Daming is really rich, but the moment we entered the city gate, dozens of carriages have passed by the street, right?"

"really!"

"If it were placed in our capital, we might not see so many carriages in one day."

"Also, it seems that Daming's carriage is not used by dignitaries, but by ordinary people..."

After Xicheng uttered these sour words, a commoner in patched clothes threw a few copper coins to the carriage driver, boarded the carriage, and chose a seat by the window to sit down.

When he saw a few Japanese people on the side of the road looking at him, he waved happily to them.

This unremarkable scene had a great impact on Xicheng. In Japan, only the rich and powerful could afford a carriage, but in Daming, such a luxurious carriage was actually a tool for ordinary people to travel?
"Has your Ming Dynasty become so rich that ordinary people can travel by horse-drawn carriage?"

The officials of Honglu Temple who were in charge of welcoming overseas vassal states hurriedly explained upon hearing this.

"No no no..."

"They are riding in a public carriage. This is the good governance of our emperor grandson, and it is specially used to facilitate the travel of the people in the Gyeonggi area."

"There are two types of carriages in the city and those between the cities. What you just saw are public carriages in the city. They only go to and from the gates of the city, or walk along the ring road."

"All the people of my Ming Dynasty, no matter how far or near, can ride for only five Wen..."

Empress Kameyama Emperor Xicheng heard the explanation from the officials of Honglu Temple, but his head was full of muddleheadedness.

He is a typical person who was born in a deep palace and grew up in the hands of a woman. He knows a little bit about the sufferings of the people but not much.

In comparison, Yuan Daoyi is much better than him. At least he has been fighting all the year round, and he has seen a lot of folk affairs.

"May I ask my lord, what if someone gets into the carriage and stays in the carriage?"

When the officials of Honglu Temple heard this, they immediately gave Yuan Daoyi an admiring look.

"What this guest said is true. In the beginning, there were indeed idlers stuck in the car, wishing they could sit for a whole day."

"At that time, many people suggested that the emperor's grandson should increase the price or limit the ride distance, but the emperor's grandson refused."

"The emperor's grandson said that as long as the people get used to this mode of travel, no one will be bored to sit down."

"Later, as expected by the emperor's grandson, after a month, the number of sittings decreased, and now no one is bored to sit, and they all get off at the station."

Yuan Daoyi nodded in admiration when he heard the words, and looked forward to this grandson of the Ming emperor whom he had never met before.

What kind of smart person is able to grasp people's hearts so accurately?

In the past two years, he has communicated many letters with the grandson of the emperor of Ming Dynasty, and he admires the grandson of the emperor of Ming Dynasty very much.

Because he found that the grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty is the only person in this world who understands him!
In Japan, both the public and the samurai class believed that he wanted to usurp the throne of the emperor.

Only His Royal Highness, the grandson of the emperor who was far away in Ming Dynasty, knew that he did not want to usurp the throne, but just wanted to be someone like Cao Cao and Sima Yi.

Even if you want to usurp the throne, let your son do it!
The emperor's grandson implicitly expressed his support for him in the letter, and he also reciprocated, giving the land of Shi Jian to the emperor's grandson, which became the emperor's enclave in Japan.

Although he regretted it when he learned that there were a lot of gold and silver mines here, he still protected the rights and interests of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the Land of Imitation, and prevented the turmoil of the domestic warrior class, and refused to turn against the emperor and take back the land. silver mine.

"May I ask this lord, when will the grandson of the emperor receive me?"

"This depends on the arrangement of the emperor's grandson!"

"But the grandson of the emperor told you to spend a few days in the capital and relax."

"I have thanked His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun for his kindness, but I have been admiring the Emperor Taisun and His Majesty for a long time, and I am eager to see him, so I would like to ask your lord to help me."

"Ok!"

"I will write a letter after I go back. As long as there is news from your majesty and the emperor's grandson, I will immediately bring you into the palace..."

The officials of Honglu Temple let them into the carriage and took them on the road in the capital.

However, when passing through an intersection, a slow-moving huge monster passed in front of the carriage of several people.

Yuan Daoyi was frightened immediately after seeing this monster, because the car was full of people, but there was no horse to pull the car.

"What is this?"

"Why don't you see horses pulling carts, but you can walk like flying?"

"Oh, this is a tram, and it is the latest means of transportation developed by the scientific research institute under the name of the emperor's grandson."

"It is only in the testing stage now, and people in the capital can ride for free."

"This this this..."

When Yuan Daoyi heard this, he felt a buzzing in his head.

Has the kingdom of heaven developed to such a degree, this kind of monster that does not need the power of manpower and livestock, only the gods can do it?

However, the Honglu Temple official hadn't finished speaking. When he heard the Honglu Temple official's words behind him, he was shocked and felt heavy despair.

"In our Ming Dynasty, in addition to this kind of tram, there is also a kind of train that travels through the ground, called the subway..."

"subway?"

"A train running underground?"

This time, not only the Japanese missions were shocked, but even the missions from the Peninsula, Vietnam, Ryukyu and other countries were deeply shocked.

What kind of tram on the ground is beyond their imagination, and they can't even imagine the existence of underground trains.

"Dare to ask, sir, can you show us around?"

"of course can!"

The officials of Honglu Temple had already received a secret order from the grandson of the emperor, asking him to take these overseas vassal states to "shock all the way".

How could he refuse to cooperate now that these missions made such a request?

Led by Honglu Temple officials, they walked underground through the nearest subway entrance.

When everyone took the elevator that could go down automatically and saw the electric lights in the subway that could be lit without candles or kerosene, everyone's mouths were wide open, wishing they could stuff a watermelon into it.

At this time, they don't even know how to ask, because there are too many fetishes here that are beyond their cognition!
"What is that..."

"What is this?"

"This is an elevator... and this is a lamp..."

"What is an elevator and what is an electric light?"

"It's a ladder driven by electricity to help people go up and down the stairs. The electric light is a lamp lit by electricity. It's smokeless, tasteless, and very bright..."

"Why electricity?"

"This is..."

The Honglu Temple official laughed and avoided the question in embarrassment.

In fact, he doesn't know what electricity is, but only knows that it is a very magical energy that can do many unpredictable things.

It is said that the emperor's grandson set up a special electric power class in the university hall to teach knowledge related to electricity.

Wait until another day to find out by yourself. If there is something true, let the youngest son who is ineffective at home learn it, so that he can have a bowl of food in the future.

Officials from Honglu Temple led a group of missions to the underground platform, and only waited on the platform for a while, when a subway came "just in time".

He boarded the train with a group of missions, and explained to them the facilities on the train and the speed of the train one by one.

Although he said a lot of technical terms that he didn't even understand, the audience still listened attentively, for fear of missing a word.

Because in their view, this is all great knowledge, which contains the truth of heaven and earth, and the mechanism of ghosts and gods.

Honglu Temple officials led them through a certain distance underground, and got off at the next stop.

When all the missions stood on the ground again and looked at the tens of feet high skyscrapers in front of them, they were shocked again.

"What are these buildings for?"

The Honglu Temple official shook his head upon hearing this.

"do not know!"

"Don't worry about what you're doing, I'll just ask you if you're tall or not, and that's fine."

"high!"

"very high!"

"Big!"

"Very big!"

"I have never seen such a tall building in my life!"

The officials of Honglu Temple laughed when they heard the words, and thought that it would be over when they grew up, what do you care about?

Don't say you don't know, I don't even know!

I guess the emperor's grandson doesn't know, either?

Zhu Yunxi really didn't think about the use of this skyscraper. He just wanted to build a tall building that best represented the current architectural level of Ming Dynasty, but he never thought about what to do after it was built.

However, when the building was completed, many officials suggested that it should be converted into a government office.

Because this building is so tall, you can see the whole city from the top of this building, even the imperial palace is overlooking it.

If it is used for civilian or commercial use, it is too unsafe for the imperial palace and other yamen of the imperial court.

It's just that Zhu Yunxi is still hesitating and has not yet determined the final ownership of this building.

Therefore, the biggest function of this building now is to shock these overseas vassal states.

In fact, with Daming's current national strength, many things are unnecessary.

For example, the subway, and the skyscraper that is more than [-] feet high in front of you.

In fact, these things encountered a lot of opposition when they were being built. Even Zhu Yunxie’s officials suggested that he temporarily put aside the construction of subways and skyscrapers and use personnel and material resources for other purposes first.

But Zhu Yunxi still insisted on his own opinion and built this flashy skyscraper.

A city needs landmarks, and an era also needs landmarks.

This unrealistic high-rise building and the underground subway with only one stop are the symbol and the starting point of this era.

Their function is not to carry passengers, nor is it to carry commercial or civilian use, but to point out the direction for the future of Daming and let more people know how to go in the future.

Of course, Zhu Yunxi still has a little selfishness.

After leading the envoys from various countries around the capital and showing them all kinds of incredible buildings and facilities, the officials of Honglu Temple immediately returned to the North Palace to report to Zhu Yunxi.

"Reporting to Your Highness, as His Highness expected, all the princes and envoys of the vassal kingdom were shocked by the prosperity of the Ming capital!"

"Many envoys were shocked, and tried their best to show their loyalty to Daming, saying that they would serve Daming forever, His Majesty and Your Highness..."

There was neither sadness nor joy on Zhu Yunxi's face when he heard the words, only a touch of melancholy.

"A little bit!"

The officials of Honglu Temple were greatly puzzled when they heard the words. Many things they saw along the way today, let alone the envoys of overseas vassal states, even he, a native of Ming Dynasty, was shocked. Why is the emperor still not satisfied?

"Your Highness, are you being too harsh?"

"The scene that those envoys saw today is enough to shock them for a lifetime..."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head upon hearing this.

"It's still not enough!"

"If only we could conquer the internal combustion engine and fill the streets with cars and stuff..."

"Then they will feel Li Zhongtang's despair even more!"

This is Zhu Yunxi's selfishness. He exhales and raises his eyebrows for a person who has mixed reputation and reputation, and is still born in hundreds of years!
Although this person did a lot of bad things, he promoted a very important person, and this person finally ruined a decadent alien dynasty!
