Chapter 439 The state-owned male soldiers, the prosperous era is peaceful
After the foreign envoys arrived in Nanjing, they first arranged a banquet, then watched movies every day, and then appreciated the speed of the steam locomotive line that had been running for a long time. Everything in the Ming Dynasty was like a picture scroll, slowly spreading out in front of the foreign envoys, and they frequently exclaimed for everything that the people of the Ming Dynasty were accustomed to.
Clean streets, tap water when unscrewed, electric lights when turned on, and electric fans when it's hot. In your free time, you can watch movies, take photos of real people in the photo studio, and the food here is not only delicious, but also varied, as if you will not be able to eat the same food for a lifetime.
All material and external things can be disguised, but what cannot be disguised is people's heartfelt pleasure and happiness, even if the language barrier, you can also see the foundation of the Ming Dynasty from everyone's face.
The military parade was arranged on the first day of the first month of September, at the foot of the Purple Mountain, by the Xuanwu Lake, on the washed out bluestone streets, and the military band was playing the song of the Ming Dynasty. Whenever the Ming official army goes out, there will be such a melody, accompanied by the song is a salute. After the salute, in the midst of the smoke, the honor guard selected from all over the country stepped out upright, and the footsteps rang neatly in everyone's hearts.
Loudspeakers were also used at the parade to amplify the footsteps along the roadside, so that everyone could hear them. The people of Nanjing and the surrounding prefectures and counties of Nanjing were fortunate enough to come to watch, and they were all excited, and everyone's face was full of pride and pride.
The state has strong soldiers, and the prosperity is peaceful.
Throughout the ages, all the people of this land have hoped for is to live a peaceful life with their wives, without war, to be fed and clothed, to be able to read and learn etiquette, and to pursue their heart's desires, and the cornerstone of all this is in front of them.
"It's good, it's good. Someone burst into tears and choked up and repeated the phrase "It's so good."
Some people yearn for it, and they vow to join the army and serve their family and country.
Compared with the small military parade in the barracks, the scene in front of you is so grand that everyone can't imagine, even if you have watched the parade with your own eyes, you will still be shocked by the scene in front of you, and then proudly spring up from your heart - this is our country.
The ceremony is not lengthy, it lasts only about half an hour, but what remains in people's hearts is not only half an hour, as if it has been three hundred years, and all the sages of the entire Ming Dynasty have worked hard to see what they are looking for.
Not to mention the people, just say that the foreign envoys, when the Ming Dynasty already had such a well-organized and well-equipped army, their army was still stragglers, and it could not be compared with the army in front of them, let alone compared. The members of the Bourbon family and the Habsburg family were silent, and they had always been friendly to this "good friend" in the Far East, and they had never taken the Ming as a rival.
But at this moment, they can't help but have a question in their hearts -- if they are enemies of the Ming Dynasty, what are the chances of victory? The answer is very obvious, no country can take it out, it is not a unified enemy, the guns are strong, the soldiers are mighty, and they are indestructible.
How is it possible, the Bourbon family and the two European hegemons of the Habsburgs have been torn apart for so many years, and there is no possibility of an alliance with a few songs, but it is more likely that they will form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty to pinch the other family to death.
A member of the Bourbon family said: "Philip is right, becoming an ally with Daming is our only and best option. ”
Such a Ming dynasty, with its enemy, is the old birthday star hanged, and his life is too long.
After the military parade, the Bourbon family first found Zhu Zaiyou, expressing their willingness to introduce movies and railways, and at the same time said that the Bourbon family will be Daming's eternal friends and is willing to carry out more and more in-depth cooperation with Daming. Hydroelectric power stations, electric lights, and even all the city's above-ground and underground public systems are all projects that the Bourbon family is willing to work on in depth.
The Habsburgs were not much later than Bourbon, and soon began talks with the Ming in all aspects, and the first thing the Habsburgs wanted to introduce was hydroelectric power stations and railways. While Zhu Zaiyou brought officials from various ministries to discuss together, he went to the Institute of Information Technology and asked how the College of Engineering should be arranged.
Dean Meng: ......
"I can't pave my own tracks, so I don't have time to lay them out. "It was not easy for the College of Engineering to cultivate a group of skilled hands who could strictly implement the standards of the College of Engineering, and then the national track laying project was launched. At this time, I came to tell the engineering college that I was going to go abroad to repair the tracks, and the engineering college could not stop its own project and go to repair it for foreigners.
Honglu Temple official: "The rails can be drained back, what about the hydropower station, and the movie machine?"
"Hydropower stations can be considered, and it doesn't matter how much the projector or video player has to make. Which of you is responsible for negotiating the price with the foreigners, as far as I am concerned, the price should not be too high. At this time, Master Meng picked up his old business, and the true colors of a businessman instantly surged up, and all kinds of business experiences popped up in his mind every minute.
Honglu Temple official: "Why shouldn't you talk too high, isn't it good to make money?"
Master Meng laughed twice, lowered his voice and talked to the officials of Honglu Temple.
After this conversation, the officials of Honglu Temple deeply felt what it means to be a profiteer.
After the officials of Honglu Temple returned to Nanjing, they handed the words to the imperial front, and Emperor Xuanqing and the cabinet quickly agreed that the Institute of Engineering had a ready-made cost accounting, of course, there would be many additional costs to build hydropower stations and repair tracks abroad, which required the Institute of Engineering to carry out another accounting, but the price range that could be roughly negotiated could still be determined first.
The Bourbons, the Habsburgs, and other small foreign countries who got the offer: good friends, a cup.
Such a price of conscience, such excellent quality, such a refreshing ally, why should you be an enemy, immediately tear off all your defenses, Daming is so good, you must always be friends.
Honglu Temple and Engineering College and household officials: dear, five-star praise, next time come again.
When it came to talking about selling guns, the cabinet discussed for a long time, and finally went to ask Master Meng's opinion, and Master Meng: "Why do you ask me, how can I make a decision on such a big matter?" ”
Da Ming has actually been secretly selling hot weapons, but he doesn't sell much, because he is afraid of threatening himself.
"Because according to Dean Meng, we discussed and felt that it could also be sold. "You have to buy it, those foreigners who don't have a lot of brains won't want to make it themselves. It's cheap and easy to use, don't buy it, I bother to study what to do, and tear it every day, who has the time to think about this.
Master Meng: "This is different, hydropower stations are mostly civilian. ”
"It's not different, besides, the ones that are going to be sold abroad are all obsolete models, and our own ones are still the best. ”
Master Meng: "If you say this, it's not impossible, you still have to discuss carefully, don't rush to make a decision." ”
"That's nature. ”
Then it was so happily decided.
