Chapter 340: Enthronement Ceremony-II

In the early morning of October 5th, in the early morning of Lanfang Square, in the morning light, there were already tens of thousands of civilians, crowded there, waiting there to participate in the ceremony.

As of the latest statistics, the national population of the country is 72,368, and at least 60,000 people are here today.

But there's a garden plaza as huge as Manhattan's Central Park to wander around, and 60,000 people are as inconspicuous as a pinch of salt noodles sprinkled into a soup.

Whether or not to attend the ceremony is completely voluntary.

However, the authorities have also issued a notice that people with Lan nationality can go to the designated area on the inside of the square to watch the ceremony, which is about 600 meters by 600 meters of flat land, surrounded by high-end flower beds outside, 60,000 people are standing in and it is very spacious, and people can be separated by more than two meters from each other, and there are nearly 1,000 police and security personnel responsible for maintaining order.

In addition, children under the age of 10 and the elderly over the age of 72 are explicitly advised not to attend the ceremony. Given the prestige of the royal family among the people, such advice is generally 100% acceptable.

And why the upper limit is 72 years old, it is considering that Zhu Yuandong is already 72 years old. If it is not recommended for the elderly over 70 years old to participate in order to respect the elderly, it will be unfilial to Zhu Naodong. Therefore, the upper limit is a little higher than Zhu Yuandong, which is also studied by etiquette.

Just like during the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, when Liu Bi, the king of Wu, raised troops, the conscription order should also be written "The upper is the same age as the widow, and the lower is the same age as the widow's young son", and they must be brought in to serve as soldiers. After all, both he and Liu Bi's youngest son personally participated in the rebels and went to the battlefield, how could the common people be exempted from service.

As for stateless foreign workers, it's good to take a look at the periphery. There are also people who maintain order, but there is no need to check the documents, as for other free drinks and snacks, they can be served casually in the style of a marathon, unlimited quantities, and the quality is much better than that of a marathon.

Counting all the foreign workers, the number of people watching the ceremony in the entire square can exceed 300,000 - about three or four years ago, that is, in 02, the total number of foreign workers was already 300,000. Now in 05 years, with the increase in industrial development and employment in the past three years, there are about 100,000 more foreign workers, mainly in the service industry such as tourism, hotel shopping, etc. However, foreign workers also have to work and be on duty, especially during the viewing period, so many foreign tourists come, there must be many necessary jobs that cannot be run, so only 300,000 people come to watch the ceremony, and at least 100,000 people are still working.

In addition, foreign workers are also hierarchical, some senior engineers and senior technical management personnel, now the Lan side has launched the title of "honorary citizen", the advantage of honorary citizenship is that it is not considered nationality, so it can circumvent the Chinese law of "not recognizing dual nationality", so that honorary citizens can get the honor of Lan Fang without losing their Chinese nationality. And these honorary citizens have a divided area in the field, and they can enter the infield and watch Zhu leisurely ascend the throne at close range like ordinary citizens.

In a word, Gu Kun's design for honorary citizens is to give them all the same ceremonial treatment as ordinary citizens, the only difference is that they do not enjoy the material rewards that Lanfang Petroleum Company pays money and benefits.

This is also a measure to motivate foreign workers to work hard in Lanfang, giving them an upward channel to see the benefits and see the head. Of course, Gu Kun will also strictly control this scale, especially in the future, he will warn future generations to control this scale, and must not repeat the mistakes of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, and engage in the dementia of "universal citizenship".

People's hearts are easy to be ungrateful, this is instinctive nature, and there is nothing to change.

That's why there are so many first-generation immigrants in immigration countries who are grateful to Dade, work hard, and don't feel that there is anything wrong with being discriminated against, even if they are treated as second-class citizens. But once they arrived at the second generation, they began to be greedy and insufficient, and began to be indignant about why they were treated differently from those native-born children who were born here ten or eight generations ago.

Whether it was the French or the Roman Empire, it was typical of the efforts to win a generation and abandon sustainable development. Of course, Gu Kun couldn't step on the pit like Emperor Diocletian and those particularly mentally retarded French commanders.

We must warn future generations: the favor should be released little by little, pay attention to a good sense of rhythm, and must not give up the suppression and control of the upgrade rhythm in order to give consumers more cool points for a while, so that even if it temporarily makes people feel refreshed and impulsive to a league leader, but in the end it will only end up with a tragic end.

......

The construction time of Lanfang Square was completed at about the same time as Yongxi Palace and Lanfang Tower, but the time of construction was different - Lanfang Tower was the earliest, and it started in 1999, Yongxi Palace was started in 01, and Lanfang Square was started in 03.

After all, the construction of the square is very convenient, the cycle is not long, it takes two years, and the main thing is that the Lanfang royal family strives for perfection to build this place into a world-class royal garden that is happy with the people.

The kind of place that has a royal user experience, but allows the general public to enter. At the same time, it is impossible for ordinary people to really come to the park every day, and the landscape and fresh air brought by the green space can only be enjoyed by people who live nearby. So this place is actually equivalent to the supporting green belt of Yongxi Palace.

The so-called "King Wen's confinement, seventy miles away, and the people still think it is small." The confinement of the widow, forty miles square, the people still think it is big", this is the truth.

King Xuan of Qi asked Mencius why, Mencius thought that the key was "King Wen's confinement, with the people", and King Wen of Zhou's imperial garden was something that ordinary subjects could enter to play, so it didn't matter how much land you occupied (the original text of "Mencius" was: "Those who cut wood and hunt can go in and share firewood and prey")

Gu Ye is so rich, of course, he must make the imperial garden the confinement of the king of Wen and not the confinement of the widow.

King Qi Xuan's kind of calculating poor, how can he be imitated by Gu Ye?

Because the Garden Square had just been completed, and it was the first time for the subjects to visit, even during the waiting time waiting for the ceremony to begin, everyone did not feel bored, but rather fresh, as if they were traveling.

"Wow, so many varieties of trees and exotic plants, that's a big deal. This is not really a royal garden to design and maintain, I think many flowers are not tropical plants, so can it be grown in the open square? ”

"Roses, roses, and tulips are all flowers in the cold temperate zone, and they can be planted in the orchid, and the flower beds of this cold temperate flower bed cover an area of at least a dozen acres, and I don't know how many gardeners will wait. ”

Roses are not as abundant in warm places as many people think, and the roses in China are mainly produced in the northern province of Lu, the rose capital of North America, and also in Portland, Oregon in the north. Therefore, although roses and tulips are not rare in the north, they are very arrogant in the tropics, and they are planted in large areas to show off their wealth.

In contrast, many foreign workers who have not yet known the environment of Lanfang and have not been here for two years have a very different focus from the local citizens of Lanfang, and they are still sighing: "This place in Lanfang is worthy of such a beautiful national name, tropical orchid, gladiolus, crane wang orchid, Milan, tiger piran...... There are so many varieties of beautiful and precious orchids, which are really rare in China. ”

This exclamation was quickly scoffed at by others as "countrymen": Haven't you seen it? Orchids have a preference for humidity and heat, and these varieties are actually tropical species, and it is not difficult to plant orchids all over the mountain.

As for the other cosmos, canna, and Indian jasmine, they are all transplanted from other places, and the varieties are very atmospheric and beautiful, and they are extremely contrary to the weather and climate.

Many visitors soon discovered that the garden in the square alone was not enough to play for a whole day, and the time spent waiting for the ceremony was not enough to spend, let alone be boring.

Before the members of the royal family appeared, the wonders here have been taken by reporters from all over the world, and I don't know how many terabytes of photos and video files have been taken.

......

"His Royal Highness the County Lord has come down! Look, it's so beautiful and atmospheric. ”

"Can you also look directly at the county lord's face, so beautiful and noble, look directly at it and pay a sigh of longevity (prayer). ”

"This dress is much more luxurious than when I got married four years ago, which is too atmospheric and shiny, but it shines so brightly that it doesn't make people feel vulgar, tsk, this weather, this demeanor, I can't think about it. ”

At about 8:40 a.m., after enjoying the game for a long time, the people in the square finally saw the royal nobles appear, and burst into suppressed cheers.

Especially when he saw Zhu Youran, that kind of cheer was from the heart, after all, there will be such a beautiful monarch in the future, who would not support it. Even the country of his own kind has become more and more popular with the Internet, forcing politicians and parliamentarians to become more and more Internet celebrities, and the Lan people are only a few years ahead of schedule. What's more, the royal family is so rich, and everyone really loves it.

Because it was only a ceremony of succession and coronation, Gu Kun, as Zhu Youran's husband, did not have the opportunity to play an important role in the ceremony today, and it was a matter between Zhu Yuandong and Zhu Youran's parents from beginning to end. In addition, the son who has just completed the moon can be held out to show his face, and when the time comes, after Zhu Youran accepts the coronation, he will announce that his son will be canonized as the son of the world by the way according to the etiquette law.

This is why this kind of ceremony is not held until at least the child's full moon, and the ancients even preferred to wait until the first birthday. Because when the medical conditions are not good enough, the baby is the most likely time to die, many children who are going to die in the ancients are dead before the age of one or two, and they can survive until one or two years old, as long as they do not encounter accidents, they will rarely die early.

If the canonization ceremony does not wait for the child's health to be confirmed, it will be casually sealed, in case the child dies, it will be very troublesome.

Nowadays, the medical conditions of Lan Fang are of course the most noble and high-end, so during the period when the child is born and the full moon is full, in fact, all kinds of medical technologies for monitoring and physical examination have been put on it, and it has been checked very carefully to confirm that it is very healthy and free of any diseases, so that the royal family will deal with the ceremony of the prince at the coronation ceremony.

As the ceremony progressed, hundreds of thousands of people watched, and almost all of them were envious online: it's a good life, just a full moon after birth, and has been canonized as a prince, with the title of the old lady, and still waiting to inherit the 200 billion US dollars royal property from the father's side......

There are also more sour ones, and they slander there: Hmph, this is called a good life? Maybe it's not a good life. ** and his grandfather, at least 50 years old, so he can succeed to the throne at the age of 22. He is only 22 years old apart from **, if ** is long-lived, he may be a son of seventy or eighty or a son of the world!
