I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 472: Can a noble noble be inferior to a commoner in the Ming Dynasty?

Holy Roman Empire.

Principality of Austria.

An aristocratic international student from the Habsburg family who went to study in the Ming Dynasty is returning with advanced technology from the Ming Dynasty.

In this dark age of the Habsburg family, the Habsburg family was not yet a huge family that had conquered the entire Western world through marriage, nor was it the uncrowned king of the entire Europe.

Its power can only be found near the Principality of Austria and cannot spread.

But the ambitions and ambitions of the Habsburg family have never been heard of. Sending overseas students to study in the Ming Dynasty was their attempt to regain the supreme power of the Holy Roman Empire!

So when Albrecht returned to Austria.

They were warmly received by the Habsburg family, and the Ming merchants and craftsmen who accompanied them received unprecedented preferential treatment!

In Habsburg, a grand banquet unfolded!

Archduke Leopold of Austria even attended the banquet in person. He really wanted to know why that ancient and mysterious country in the east became so powerful.

And how should the Habsburg family learn from the success of Ming Dynasty?

Continue to fulfill your ambitions and ambitions to become the uncrowned king of the West?

However, when Albrecht, who had returned from studying in the Ming Dynasty, talked about what he had seen in the Ming Dynasty, it really shocked all the Habsburg family members present!

In Albrecht's narration, the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the Magic City seemed to be cities in another world.

There are wide, white, dust-free roads.

There are tall, majestic, tall buildings that will never fall down.

even more……

There is a lively, prosperous and busy city.

In addition, there are even machines that are rotating all the time, constantly manufacturing goods, and factories one after another are delivering blood to the Ming Dynasty all the time.

Ordnance, clothing, daily necessities, food... whatever the Ming Dynasty needs.

These factories seem to be able to produce everything!

The supplies produced every day from the Ming Dynasty's capital factories were enough to support an army of ten thousand people for a whole month!

And this is only the output of the Ming Dynasty Capital!

In the magical capital of the Ming Dynasty, there are still countless factories in operation!

at the same time.

The various Chief Secretaries of the Ming Dynasty are also actively preparing for their own Chief Secretary's factories!

It can be said that earth-shaking changes are taking place in the Ming Dynasty every day!

But everyone who has followed this trend has gained huge benefits! Only those who are stubborn and stubborn will suffer losses in such a broad reform!

And every day that passes, their losses are even greater!

Because while they are stopping or even retreating, others are moving forward crazily!

It's no wonder those people hate Zhu Yunzhen so much.

Because not only did they completely miss this feast, but they also fell to the end of this unprecedented development!

After all the people of Ming Dynasty caught up.

These originally local powerful people will be completely the same as ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty!

In this case, it's strange that they don't oppose Zhu Yunzhen!

Those with vested interests are afraid of change.

The beautiful society they imagined was one in which classes were solidified and society remained the same forever.

In this way, they can live a good life forever.

Any slightest change will make them feel extremely uneasy.

Albrecht was still recounting his experiences in the Ming Dynasty, especially when he told the story of spending huge sums of money on the banks of the Qinhuai River, his eyes were full of unprecedented longing.

to him.

The women of the Ming Dynasty, even ordinary women from ordinary families, are so beautiful!

It can be said that Albrecht dreamed of marrying a Ming Dynasty woman!

Even if it's just a kiss... However, even this simple wish cannot be realized at all...

Even the woman from Hualou by the Qinhuai River couldn't look down on him at all!

Only by spending ten times or even a hundred times the money to smash it can it be realized! Even the most ordinary woman needs at least tens of thousands of taels of silver!

But Albrecht was just an ordinary Western nobleman, how could he have wealth as much as tens of thousands of taels of silver?

Not to mention Albrecht, even Leopold, the Archduke of Austria, couldn't help but shudder when he heard this number. Even the entire Principality of Austria might not be able to get tens of thousands of taels of silver at once. Gotta come out!

Think here.

Albrecht couldn't help sighing and sighing: "Archduke Leopold, don't think we are nobles here."

"But if we really compare."

"We are in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid we are just like the most ordinary civilians..."

however.

As soon as this word comes out.

It immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many nobles present.

The Habsburg family was extremely large, with not only many nobles under its sect, but also many noble women who came from nobles of other countries and even the royal family.

Once I heard that these nobles were not even as good as the common people of the Ming Dynasty.

It immediately exploded!

"Nonsense! How long have you been studying in Ming Dynasty? You just say good things about Ming Dynasty!"

"No matter how you say it, we nobles are all chosen people with noble status! How can we be compared to ordinary untouchables?!"

"That's right! Just saying that the delicacies at our banquet tonight are delicacies that ordinary civilians will never be able to eat in their lifetime!"

"Also, look at the fabrics on our bodies, how luxurious they are?"

"..."

At the banquet, a group of nobles rushed to talk about their superiority.

Very dissatisfied with Albrecht's remarks.

Even Archduke Leopold, who knew a little about Ming Dynasty, was somewhat dissatisfied with Albrecht and thought he was exaggerating.

How could the common people of Ming Dynasty live better than nobles like them?

But he never expected that Albrecht stood up with confidence.

Said: "Everyone, you really don't want to be dissatisfied."

"Ask yourselves, do you have enough meat in your daily meals?"

"What you are wearing is silk and satin? Do you have three or four sets of clothes of different styles at home?"

"Do you live in a soft and comfortable mattress at home? Do you use soap in your daily bath that can remove stains all over the body and also emit fragrance?"

"Besides that, there are all kinds of things..."

Many nobles present heard Albrecht talking.

I couldn't help but ask myself seriously.

Although these nobles have a lot of property and live a prosperous life, they can't be said to have meat for every meal.

Among other things, according to Albrecht, the people of Ming Dynasty have lived a life without any shortage of food.

What I eat every day are some precious refined grains.

In their area, even the nobles cannot take out the precious grains and eat them with open stomachs.

As for meat, although it is not impossible to eat, it is impossible to have meat in every meal!

At this point, even the Ming Dynasty only obtained large quantities of beef and mutton after defeating the Mobei Tatars and the Timur Empire.

At the same time, pork is continuously cultivated in the country to improve the taste of pork.

This allows everyone to live a life of having meat for every meal!

However, the kind of life Albrecht mentioned was only limited to the people of the capital. If he really wanted all the people of the Ming Dynasty to live such a life, Zhu Yunxu still had a long way to go.

But Albrecht naturally didn't know this.

After coming to the Ming Dynasty, he only stayed in the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the Demon City of the Ming Dynasty.

Naturally, everyone thinks that the people of Ming Dynasty are like this! The other nobles are getting more and more panicked. It doesn't matter if they can't compete with the food above. As long as they fill their stomachs, it's not a problem.

But after listening to Albrecht's description, they discovered that they were really incomparable in everything!

In terms of clothing, many Western nobles now only have a few sets of clothes! And most of them are ordinary clothes, and there is often only one expensive dress!

But the civilians of the Ming Dynasty have several of them! And it’s silk satin with excellent style and material!

In the West, this is the most precious item among precious items!

As for the other things Albrecht described, such as mattresses and soaps, they had never seen or heard of them!

"Is the Ming Dynasty really so rich?"

The nobles present couldn't help but couldn't believe it.

After all, this is really beyond their knowledge and understanding!

Even Archduke Leopold looked at Albrecht with suspicion, not because he didn't trust him enough, but because these things he saw were too shocking!

But Albrecht once again gave everyone present a critical blow.

"This is just a subtle change," he said.

"Did you know that there is such a thing in Ming Dynasty called a train?"

"You can travel a thousand miles in one day! You can haul tens of thousands of tons of cargo! Thousands of soldiers!"

"Take our Holy Roman Empire as an example. It only takes one day to travel through the entire Roman Empire from west to east!"

"How convenient is this?"

"And within the Ming Dynasty, there is also a road called the 'National Highway'."

"It can be passed rain or shine! The speed is several times faster than normal roads!"

"..."

Albrecht spoke of rising.

From the Ming Dynasty’s trains to national highways, to mining, reservoirs, sea ships, and steam engines, we talked about everything.

a time.

It was as if there was a lifelike Ming Dynasty displayed in front of everyone's eyes!

You can almost see what a prosperous, prosperous and powerful country it is!

That is a kind of power that is beyond the scope of everyone’s understanding!

Unshakable!

The heart of Archduke Leopold of Austria rose and fell with Albrecht's description!

Why doesn't he want to build his Austrian Principality into something like the Ming Dynasty? !

If such a situation can really happen!

Then the ambition of the Habsburg family will be completely possible!

only.

Just relying on Albrecht's words, we cannot completely conclude that perhaps what he saw was exactly what Ming wanted him to see?

It's better to see the real chapter under your hands!

So Austrian Archduke Leopold quickly found the Ming merchants and craftsmen who had come to Habsburg with Albrecht.

Said: "A few distinguished guests from Ming Dynasty."

"Are you satisfied with tonight's banquet?"

Tonight's banquet is already the highest standard that the Habsburg family can offer.

Even an ordinary emperor is only of this size.

But the businessman of Ming Dynasty just shook his head lightly and said: "It's average."

"I don't feel anything."

Leopold frowned suddenly, but he was not angry yet, but another nobleman beside him couldn't hold it in anymore.

He stood up and said, "Is this kind of banquet normal?"

"You are really ignorant!"

"Don't think that because you are a guest from Ming Dynasty, we will tolerate your rude behavior!"

And these words are also the bottom words of all the nobles present!

A banquet of this size is definitely top notch!

If you are still not satisfied with this, what kind of life do you spend in Daming on weekdays?

Is it possible that Ming Dynasty is a paradise?

"Sorry, sorry." The merchant from the Ming Dynasty patted his head, shook his head and chuckled: "Look at my head, for a moment, I thought this was the Ming Dynasty."

"In our Ming Dynasty, such banquets happen every night!"

"It's really not unusual for businessmen like us."

Seeing that the nobles were still a little dissatisfied.

Archduke Leopold of Austria waved his hand to stop their nonsense.

Step forward.

A businessman from the Ming Dynasty said: "Oh? So, such a banquet is very common in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Naturally."

"Then I don't know, what kind of banquet do you think is truly noble?"

"What kind of banquet is rare in your eyes?"

The Ming businessman thought for a while.

Said: "Of course it is the state banquet that His Royal Highness Taisun entertains every year at the end of the year for all ministers and officials!"

"Everyone who comes here is a high-ranking official!"

"In the banquet, there are countless delicacies, all of which are specialties from all over the world. They are all delicacies that have been carefully refined by the royal chef!"

"And every time like this."

"Officials in the court will collect strange objects from various places overseas and give them to His Highness."

"To celebrate!"

“These things may not be expensive, but they come from all over the world and are truly amazing!”

"This kind of banquet can be called noble!"

At the same time, this kind of banquet is also a banquet that businessmen like them want to go to but cannot go to!

Naturally, they are the most envious!

And with the Ming businessman's narration, everyone finally realized how ignorant they were just now! How narrow is the horizon!

The most noble banquet in the world is naturally the Ming Dynasty’s state banquet!

The nobles present looked fascinated.

The businessman of the Ming Dynasty suddenly felt a lot. When he was in the Ming Dynasty, he had not discovered it yet. He was accustomed to everything around him and thought that everything should be like this.

Although the development and changes in Ming Dynasty have been great in recent years.

But without reference, many people don't realize it.

I just feel like my life is much better than before.

But it wasn’t until today, when I arrived overseas and attended a banquet of local nobles, that I understood it! It turns out that the development of Ming Dynasty has reached this level!

The banquet of the local nobles was almost the same as the banquet of the common people in the capital of the Ming Dynasty!

And the lives of these wealthy overseas businessmen are extravagant that these overseas nobles cannot even imagine!

It wasn't until this moment that he truly realized the benefits of His Highness the Grand Sun's reforms!

What changes have occurred in the development of Ming Dynasty over the years!

Now, even if an overseas noble Dangdang is offered to him, he will never be willing to do so! Because he found that the nobles in these places seemed to be like that!

The basic necessities of life are similar to those of ordinary people in the capital of the Ming Dynasty!

And there are many more enjoyments, such as trains, national highways, hospitals and other infrastructure services, which these Western nobles cannot keep up with!

You can only enjoy it in the capital of Ming Dynasty!

"Sure enough, the one the Ming Dynasty cannot live without is His Highness the Grand Sun!"

"How could the Ming Dynasty be what it is today without His Majesty the Grand Sun?!"

As I spend more and more time overseas.

These maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty also realized the greatness of Zhu Yunxuan more and more!

He has completely become a die-hard supporter of Zhu Yunzhen!

Anyone who has trouble with His Highness Taisun must have trouble with overseas businessmen like them!
