Nanming: I can build wonders

Mustafa Pasha suddenly had nothing to say. He was also the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire after all, and the actual ruler of the Ottoman Empire. How could he have suffered such anger.

Being humiliated like this in front of a Ming farmer!
Taking a deep breath, Mustafa Pasha thought that this person was uneducated and had no EQ.

"Even if you are the envoys of the Ottoman Kingdom, I will tell you that this is our Daming's machine, you are not allowed to touch it, if you dare to touch it, there will be Jin Yiwei who will come to you for tea!"

Having "traveled" in Daming for so many days, Mustafa Pasha also knew who Jin Yiwei was.

Maybe, how many of them follow behind their buttocks every day!
Having no other choice, Mustafa Pasha finally looked at the huge steam harvester in front of him, and reluctantly led the people back to the concrete road, got into his own carriage and continued to move forward.

On another big empire, he didn't dare to be too arrogant.

During the day, there was a drizzle in the sky, and the usually bustling Lin'an Street was less crowded.

Blossoming oil-paper umbrellas of various colors float by in the rain and fog.

Against the background of misty pavilions, the beauty of tranquility fills my heart.

The oil-paper umbrella floating in the line of sight is clearly the peace and harmony of life floating.

After the whole city was razed, Hangzhou City showed its most beautiful side.

Hangzhou is adjacent to Phoenix Mountain in the south, West Lake in the west, and bustling markets and towns in the north. An imperial street runs across the north and south. The southern section is the government office, and the middle section is the commercial area. , hotels, luxurious mansions of dignitaries and relatives.

Mustafa Pasha and others had long heard of the prosperity of Hangzhou. Now that they entered Hangzhou, they could feel the misty rain and clear wind, the fragrance of flowers everywhere, and the sandbanks with egrets and fishermen throwing them around. It was truly a paradise on earth.

The group of them came to Qinghefang, the most prosperous place in Hangzhou.

Qinghefang is not a street, but a large area. Qinghefang originated in the Southern Song Dynasty, because Zhang Jun, the grand master at that time, was named the queen of Qinghe County, and built the Qinghe County King's Mansion in today's Hefang Street.

At this time, night has fallen and the light rain has stopped, but the lights are bright everywhere, the flow of people is like weaving, the shops are brightly lit, and the business is very hot.

Mustafa Pasha, Schein and the others didn't feel sleepy after eating and drinking. Despite the exhausting journey, they arrived at the core area of ​​Ming Dynasty.

You can't come in vain, you always want to see the bustling nightlife of Daming.

"There are so many people at night!"

Seeing the constant flow of people in Qinghefang, Sha Yin couldn't help but admire.

It's even more lively and noisy than during the day, it seems that people from the whole city come here to play.

Look at the brightly lit neighborhood in front of you, countless whale oil lamps and all kinds of glass lamps, it looks feasting and beautiful.

"Even the palace of our Ottoman Empire is not as bright as here at night!"

Mustafa Pasha always felt that Ming and any other country in the world were two different worlds.

Why is this so?
Mustafa Pasha couldn't figure it out.

A few people started to hang out very casually, just like the ordinary Ming people around them.

After the Ming Dynasty rose again, these ordinary people were also used to the days when all nations came to court, and they were no strangers to the foreigners who came and went.

Soon, they came to the door of a building. This building had a very large flow of people. There were many people coming in and out, and most of the people who came out were carrying various things in their hands. Obviously they were all I bought a lot of things.

"My lord, this is a supermarket called Meiyijia. The advertisement on it says that you can buy everything you need for life here with just one silver dollar."

"supermarket?"

"Interesting, go in and have a look."

When Mustafa Pasha heard this, he immediately became interested.

Mustafa Pasha and Schein walked into this supermarket called Meiyijia. When they came to the door, they saw people pushing small carts one after another.After seeing it, the entourage around him had an idea and quickly went to assemble a shopping cart!

"My lord, these small carts are all used for shopping. When people go shopping inside, they can push these small carts, so that they don't have to use their hands to carry and carry them, which can be more convenient."

"And when shopping here, you can buy all the goods at will, and pay for them uniformly at the place of export."

"So that's it, this is the business model of a supermarket!"

Mustafa Pasha quickly recorded it in his diary, so that he could imitate it when he went back.

Mustafa Pasha wrote as he walked, and his followers followed behind with their shopping carts.

When they stepped into the supermarket, they were immediately shocked by the huge scale of the supermarket.

There are countless shelves in the supermarket, and each shelf is filled with a dazzling array of goods, covering almost all the necessities of life.

There are labels next to each product, which clearly indicate the name and price of the product, which is convenient for customers to choose.

There is a constant flow of people in the supermarket, and all kinds of people push shopping carts through it, while young people pick up the products they need and leave without even looking at them.

Elderly people and women choose carefully and compare patiently until they find the product that suits them best.

The whole supermarket is full of excitement and vitality, which makes people feel the vitality and charm of the city.

"Aren't they afraid of someone stealing something?"

Schein looked at the supermarket in front of him, as if there were no employees patrolling at all. If he did business like this in Europe or the Ottoman Empire, he would definitely lose money and die.

Because just buying and stealing for zero dollars is enough to make you vomit blood and die.

Especially in the Italian area, there are so many thieves. Even the prime minister of the Ottoman Empire would have to peel off his skin when he went to Italian.

Because there are too many gypsies in Idali, as long as Idali meets people with black and yellow color, short stature, and many wrinkles on their faces, be careful!
Thieves aside, they were amazed by the sheer variety of goods in store.

From daily necessities such as cooking oil, rice, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. to kitchen utensils such as pots and pans, knives, forks and spoons, etc., everything is available.

Schein suddenly saw that shiny white refined flour cost only five Wen per catty, equivalent to one silver dollar to buy 200 catties of such white flour.

"The food prices in Daming are really low."

"In our Ottoman Empire, such fine white flour was a rarity, only the nobles and the rich could afford it. But here, it is a common commodity that everyone can buy easily."

Mustafa Pasha was surprised by Ming's price level.

"I, the Ottoman Prime Minister, am not as good as the people of Ming Dynasty."
"My lord, on the contrary, I think the Ottomans' monthly 20 akche (Ottoman silver coins) is greater than the Ming people's monthly 30 silver dollars, and the Ottoman rural people's monthly 20 akces must be more comfortable than the Ming emperor's 30 silver dollars!"

That's it, that's it, the famous Schein's inequality, 20>30, immediately caused a roar of laughter!
