The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 338 Heavenly Kingdom
"I heard that the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years!"

Several foreign envoys approached the Ming Foreign Envoy Reception Yamen, only to find that there were many envoys from other countries here, but without exception, they all communicated in Ming dialect, and even spoke more fluently in Ming dialect than they did.

"Yes, I have been in Daming for two years, and I know the most!"

A blond man with blue eyes said, and his words were smooth, "But the more I know, the deeper the awe in my heart becomes!"

At the same time, there was deep awe and reverence on his face.

The awe of the Ming Dynasty is naturally due to the power of the Ming Dynasty. This power is not only reflected in the military strength, but also reflected in all aspects he saw in the Ming Dynasty!

For example, outside the sixth floor of the Ming Dynasty at this time, almost all the people were wearing beautiful clothes. In their country, silk could be sold for thousands of gold, but in the Ming Dynasty, almost everyone could wear it.

Even the trains that roared through the Ming Dynasty were almost unheard of by them!

Not to mention that people all over the Ming Dynasty were able to eat enough and not go hungry, which made them particularly envious.

Therefore, these are the powers of Ming Dynasty that they can truly experience!

The envoy felt groggy as he listened to the discussion of the people around him. After all, he had just come to Da Ming. Da Ming did not speak very fluently, so he could not understand what he heard.

If the name of the Ming Dynasty was introduced into their country, would the people of their country also have such thoughts? Wouldn't this be detrimental to their rule?

"Let's go to the market in Daming to have a look..."

Even the people of the small country who have not yet become the territory of the Ming Dynasty are very envious when they see that their neighbors who once lived a hard life actually live such a happy life.

This is what awes them the most.

As they walked in, the surprise and envy on their faces became more and more obvious, because they saw too many goods on the street that had never been seen in their country or were very precious.

The few people discussed a few words with each other, and then walked into the street together.

And this is also true. The people of the territories recovered by the Ming Dynasty have become able to have enough to eat, and no one will bully and insult them anymore.

As for awe, there is no need to say more. It is precisely because of the power of Ming Dynasty that they feel awe.

After walking out of the house and onto the street, there was an endless stream of people in the neighborhood. Most of them passed by in a hurry, but there were also some people who looked leisurely and enjoyed the leisure time in the afternoon.

Their appearance did not attract much attention from the people of the Ming Dynasty. They just looked at them slightly and then continued to move forward without much surprise on their faces.

And as far as they know, the Ming Dynasty is still in the midst of foreign conquests at this time and is still expanding its territory!
The former small southern country has been wiped out by the Ming Dynasty, and its territory has become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

"This is a fine glass mirror, which was recently developed by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. It can detect people with light, and the people on it are extremely clear..."

There were too many envoys from other countries coming to the Ming Dynasty, and even some envoys from other countries were unwilling to leave after they came and stayed in the Ming Dynasty for a long time.

Take back your homeland and let the people in the south enter the embrace of civilization and no longer have to live a life of eating hair and drinking blood.

So, he got up and left quietly.

But they know that Ming's expansion is so reasonable!

The vendors on the roadside had obviously met many envoys from other countries. When they saw them coming, they didn't show much surprise. They just introduced themselves with a more serious expression.

He could not understand the concerns of those around him about the Ming Dynasty, because in his opinion, the distance between his country and the Ming Dynasty was too far.

In their country, things worth a thousand pieces of gold are worth a thousand dollars, but in the Ming Dynasty, they are just displayed in such a grand manner for people to choose from!
They walked over eagerly and looked at it carefully.

So I also hope that Ming Dynasty will pass and they will become the people of Ming Dynasty.

As expected, the envoys from other countries were holding a small mirror and looking into it. Several people even suddenly saw themselves in the mirror and were startled by themselves.

From the words of the co-envoy, it could be seen that several of them were not proficient in Daming. The vendor selling combs next to him joked to the vendor selling mirrors: "You have made a big order this time, won't you make a huge profit from him?!"

"Foreign barbarians are rich. When they see this small mirror, they want to buy it in large quantities. Don't worry, they will definitely buy combs after buying the mirror!"

"Too……"

The discussion between the two traders did not attract the attention of several foreign envoys. Obviously, they could not understand it.

The two traders apparently encountered this situation many times.

The foreign envoys could not understand the Ming Dynasty dialect, which made the discussions among the surrounding traders more heated. They joked with each other and agreed to take care of each other's business together.

Sure enough, the foreign envoy in front of him decided to buy his own mirror. He bought seven palm-sized mirrors in total, and the merchant selling the mirrors directly demanded a high price of seven taels of silver.

Naturally, the foreign envoys didn't know how much the mirrors were worth, but after hearing the seven taels of silver, they felt that it was worth the money. After all, these mirrors were rare items in their country, and they probably couldn't even buy them for seven taels of silver.

After the foreign envoy paid the money, the merchant quickly said: "Of course you have to buy a comb after buying a mirror. Why not look at the comb again?"

Then he led him to the vendor selling combs.

The foreign envoys who bought the mirror were indeed attracted by the comb. After all, the purpose of buying the mirror was to dress up. They also had long hair, so they naturally needed a comb.

The combs sold by Daming merchants are not only exquisite in workmanship, but also of very good quality.

They were deeply attracted at the first sight!

……

When several envoys walked out of this street, their bodies were already covered with things, and they could no longer hold them in their hands. They purchased a large number of Ming items.

This forces them to return to their place of residence again, put away their belongings and come out again.

"Is that the Ming Dynasty's palace?"

They finally arrived at the very center of the Ming capital, where the Ming Palace is located.

They also looked around and saw the endless rows of beautiful buildings and jade buildings standing on the earth, brilliant and majestic, and giant dragons hovering on the earth, like wild beasts waiting for them with their bloody mouths open. of entry.

They were shocked by the magnificence of the palace in front of them. They all stood quietly, looking at the palace in front of them, and fell into shock.

At the same time, they also saw a train passing by the palace, and the train passing by the palace was completely different from the train they were riding on. The train at this time seemed even more magnificent. "Is this where the emperor of the Ming Dynasty lived?"

Next to them, there was a local guide. When the guide heard what the other party said, he couldn't help but smile disdainfully and said:
"The Ming Dynasty does not need an emperor!"

"There is no emperor in the Ming Dynasty!"

"As for the imperial palace, of course it is where all the officials of the imperial court work!"

"And ordinary people can enter too! At fixed times every month, ordinary people can enter the palace to visit!"

As he spoke, he looked at the foreign envoy beside him and said, "You can also enter, but you should be summoned by the officials of the Ming Dynasty."

They walked around the Daming Palace. Various trees were planted around the palace. At the same time, the palace was also filled with trees.

In the past, trees were not allowed to be planted in the palace. In order to ensure the safety of the former emperor, no place could be left for the assassin to hide his figure.

But today’s Ming Dynasty is different, because today’s Ming Dynasty emperor and Mr. Ming Dynasty are also protected by divine birds. Who dares to assassinate Mr. Ming Dynasty?
The palace would look very monotonous without trees, so trees were gradually planted.

In this way, there is shade in the palace, which can also make the scenery more beautiful.

The woods around the Queen have become a resting place for the people in the city after tea and meals. Under the shade of the trees, the cool breeze blows, or they sit in groups and play games.

Or lay out a mat worth 0 and take a rest here.

There are lively places and quiet places.

Foreign envoys walking among them could not help but become quiet and slow down, for fear of disturbing the Ming people among them.

Or maybe there are young men and women running in twos and threes. Although they look at each other affectionately, they also maintain a certain distance.

As they got closer, they heard a conversation between a young man and a woman:

"After I went back today, I told my parents that Sepo0 sent someone to visit my uncle and aunt and propose marriage to my uncle and aunt..."

When she said this, the woman looked embarrassed, but she didn't say anything, obviously acquiescing.

When the man saw this, he also showed a happy look on his face, looked at the beauty in front of him affectionately, and then slowly walked away into the distance, but still kept a certain distance.

Although social customs in the Ming Dynasty were somewhat more open, etiquette must also be adhered to.

When the foreign envoys saw this, there was a look of sigh on their faces. One of the foreign envoys looked up, looked back from a book dedicated to studying the Ming Dynasty dialect, and then said with a sigh:
"The Ming Dynasty is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery!"

His words made those on the side very happy, and they couldn't help but say a few more words, saying: "The gentleman of the Ming Dynasty, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, is a woman, so in the Ming Dynasty, the status of women is almost the same as that of men."

"In the past, the marriage of young men and women was decided by the parents of both men and women, and the man and woman would not even meet before they got married!"

"But after the Ming Dynasty, men and women in the Ming Dynasty can trust each other for life with affection, and most of their parents will support it!"

"At the same time, in order to support her daughter, the woman will give a large amount of dowry as her personal property in her husband's family after she gets married!"

"As for the property given by the man, the woman does not bother to accept it, because giving money after marriage, in the woman's view, is a form of money for the woman. Only women in romantic lands can do this. Therefore, this is also a form of money for a woman. insult!"

"Of course, if a woman compares herself to a promiscuous woman and asks for a large amount of property from a man, that is their freedom..."

He popularized the customs of the Ming Dynasty to the foreign envoys around him, and heard the foreign envoys marveling at them. It was difficult to understand that the Ming Dynasty was like this.

"The Ming Dynasty is indeed a kingdom in heaven!"

The messenger marveled, then followed the guide and continued walking forward.

After walking out of the woods outside the palace, the two of them and a group of people headed to other places.

After all, the palace hasn't opened yet, so they can't enter while standing there.

However, before they arrived at the palace, they were not directly in front of the palace. They went around for nearly a circle before they actually arrived in front of the palace. And directly in front of the palace, there was also a huge square!

The square is paved with huge, flat bluestone slabs, and in the center of the square, there is a huge bronze statue standing.

As soon as they came closer, the envoys suddenly became dumbfounded and stared at the huge bronze statue in front of them. They even continued to move forward involuntarily, unaware that the guide beside them had stopped.

Finally the guide pulled them and stopped them.

Seeing their reaction like this, the guide's face was unmoved, because he had seen this scene too many times!
In fact, seeing the foreign envoys look like they had never seen the world made him feel a little proud!
When the foreign envoy came to his senses, he said:

"This bronze statue was built by the Ming Dynasty in the 70th year of the Ming Dynasty. You can also see that this statue is the sacred bird of the Ming Dynasty-Xuanniao!"

They heard the explanation and looked up again.

The bronze statue of the divine bird is twenty feet high, and there are various speculations on the bronze statue to decorate the feathers of the divine bird. The bronze statue of the divine bird has five long tail feathers, and the feathers on its body exude five colors. s color.

He pretended to spread his wings and soar, but then looked down at the earth, as if he was protecting the people of the Ming Dynasty who were looking up to him on the earth!
However, due to the current technology of the Ming Dynasty, it was unable to produce the divine light emitted by the divine bird. However, to be able to produce it to such an extent was already due to the skill of the craftsmen.

"The divine bird..."

Envoy 0 The foreign envoy repeated the guide's words, but the shock on his face still did not fade away.

Of course, there are also people who don't know what the Ming Dynasty's sacred bird is. Their faces are shocked but also confused.

Seeing this, the guide on the side couldn't help but briefly introduce:

"The sacred bird of the Ming Dynasty existed two thousand years ago and protected one powerful dynasty after another in Chinese history!"

"The power of the divine bird is unpredictable to mortals. It has the power to destroy the heaven and the earth. It is the god of creation out of thin air. It is the immortal saint. It has the ability to know everything. When the Ming Dynasty was established, the divine bird used to take many actions. Help Mr. Ming..."

"Mr. Ming Dynasty is now over a hundred years old. It is precisely because of the blessing of the divine bird that he can live forever!"

"Every time during the Lantern Festival, Mr. Ming Dynasty will go out of the palace to have fun with the people! The beauty of Mr. Ming Dynasty..."

Speaking of this, the guide's voice couldn't help but become smaller and smaller, and then stopped talking.

But it made the foreign envoys on the side even more curious. After all, what they were most interested in was about the magical bird of the Ming Dynasty, and the legendary Mr. Ming Dynasty who founded the Ming Dynasty and could live forever!
