The audience of an envoy of a country is not something that can be seen by going straight to the emperor.

Honglu Temple has a special person to communicate with Zhao Gou and them. What is the communication? The name of the two parties, the etiquette when they meet, and even the dress of Zhao Gou's side.

Just like Macartney's visit to China, as many people later know!

The Manchu court as a whole became the harlequin of this drama, and from God's point of view, the opium war more than 40 years later magnified the arrogance of the Qianlong Emperor and his ministers.

In later generations, when many Chinese mentioned this matter, they laughed at Qianlong's ridiculous arrogance. When I stuck my head in the sand, I thought that I was the biggest in heaven and earth, and I didn't know how strong the Europeans had been at that time.

But there has always been a saying in China, "Guests are as they please." The British came to China to congratulate Qianlong on his birthday, but finally failed due to the problem of etiquette, which was not so much the collision of Eastern and Western cultures, but more the confrontation of national strength between the two sides.

In 1792, the British Empire, although it lost its fertile colonies in the thirteen states of North America, and because of the old enemies of Europe, the French took the lead in fighting a terrible war that cost a lot of money but ended in failure, and the entire empire suffered heavy losses, but they still held India in their hands. The power of the empire is strong!

As the number one power in the Western world, Magalny could not bend his knees, which was normal in the eyes of later generations. Because that corresponds to the decaying Manchu Dynasty? Magalny's actions were seen as correct by many in later generations, and his choice did not have a negative impact on his diplomatic reputation.

But what if the opium war was lost? What will it look like?

Therefore, it is true that a weak country has no diplomacy. In the final analysis, whether the guest is as the host or the host as the guest is, it depends on whose fist is harder!

Today's Shu Song and Lu Qi are almost incomparable, and Zhao Jiumei, under the intentional care of Song Qing, almost reluctantly agreed to all the 'humiliating' requests.

Before the contact between the two sides began, Shu Song was the first to claim the title. Zhao Gou, the 'little king', has to kneel three times and bow nine times to the landing emperor!

So much so that Xiao Jiumei thought ideally that Emperor Lu had better stay in Suzhou for tens of millions of years.

The prosperity of Jinling City, Zhao Jiu didn't care. When he stayed in the hotel, he also entered the city, although he just looked at the whole way, but it was not as good as Jinguancheng. But he didn't just come out to see the market here.

Jinling Mansion Yin is not someone else, it is Zhao Ding. This person can't say that he is still loyal to Zhao Song, but can only say that he has a good impression.

"Jun Wang Xiu thought that Zhao Ding was a lobbyist. The gap between the two states is too great. That raised troops and horses to surrender to the city, in the words of the Zhao family, it was not a blessing. He didn't mention it to the people, and it was in vain. If you want to make those nobles obedient, you can only speak for their benefit.

"The king of the county has lived in Sichuan and Shu for a long time, I don't know if I have heard about Yeluchun, the king of Liaowei? This time, His Majesty is on a southern tour, carrying Yeluchun's ancestors and grandchildren. The latter was named Anbei Bo by His Majesty because of his merits, although he did not add the word "founding", but he was also allowed by His Majesty to be hereditary for three generations. "It's enviable.

"As for the worries of the county king, and even the official family," Zhao Ding said with a smile on his face, "To say something disrespectful, the current Qi lord is not Emperor Taizu." ”

Emperor Lu's rivers and mountains were punched and kicked, but Zhao Da's rivers and mountains were obtained by bullying other orphans and widows. The former Jiangshan Sheji is not weak in the Han Gaozu, so naturally there is no need to worry about the surrendered princes and his subordinates, and the people will be rebellious.

What's more, Meng Chang is famous, intelligent, self-defeating, quite diligent in politics, the border is not towering, Fu'an in the country, and abstains from Wang Yan's desolation and arrogance, diligently seeks governance, rests with the people, although the punishment is slightly harsh, but not cruel, Shu people are quite peaceful.

This fame and talent are excellent. It's far from being accessible to the big artists of today!

In such a chatter and chat, the car window had already been opened, and Zhao Gou's eyes looked left and right from time to time, and he found something for him.

In this Jinling City, the traffic goes on one side, whether it is a person or a carriage or a horse, it is like this, and the two are still separated, and he has not seen a difference along the way. And the cleanliness of this Nanjing city is far beyond his imagination.

Like Jinguancheng, it is also extremely prosperous, but the pedestrians, cars and horses on the street can only be described as mixed. Not to mention the cleanliness of the city, Zhao Gou suspected that it was done on purpose. Because Emperor Lu was in Jiangnan.

When he thought like this, the carriage had come to an intersection with a large number of people, cars and horses, and he originally thought that such an intersection with many people and horses would be chaotic, and even congested, and no matter how bad it was, the crowd of cars and horses would rush to the road. This is often seen in Chengdu and even in the city of Tokyo.

But what surprised him was that after some pedestrians and cars arrived at the intersection, they actually took the initiative to stop in front of the intersection, allowing the pedestrians and cars and horses on the other side to pass first, and after waiting for a while, the pedestrians and cars and horses on this side passed one after another.

Zhao Gou was shocked, how could he obey the order like this?

Pedestrians and carriages and horses go their own way, and they are in order, so that this intersection with many people and dense cars and horses becomes orderly, and there is no congestion.

This scene, Zhao Gou was dumbfounded!

Of course, he soon had the heart to find out that a policeman in a yellow jacket was born. He recognized the policeman's dress, which was similar to Qi Jun's, except that the color was navy blue. In addition, ordinary police officers do not carry knives and guns, but are only equipped with a two-foot short club.

The discovery of "...... Huh" made Zhao Gou breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhao Jiumei, who was born in the first year of Daguan, is fifteen years old this year, and is seventeen years old.

What he had seen earlier had already surprised him, and the scene at the intersection was even more beyond his imagination. The mistake was that he saw the police, he was going to throw himself to the five bodies that Lu Qi admired.

Think about it, ordinary people can be like this, how should soldiers respect military regulations and military discipline. Zhao Gou is not very old and does not know much about national affairs, but he still has the most basic knowledge. The fighting power of the army lies in discipline!

This mode of intersection traffic has been implemented in many large cities in Luqi. In an important place like Jinling, where the market is prosperous, the traffic police are not only on duty during the peak period when the flow of people is most dense. Instead, police posts have been set up at some key entrances of pedestrians, vehicles and horses for a long time to direct traffic to avoid large congestion!

In addition, what impressed Zhao Gou was that the entire city of Jinling was surprisingly clean and tidy, and many places in this city were even compared with the imperial city in Jinguan City.

As early as when the Jiangling wharf docked, Zhao Gou felt that this was already the cleanest and tidiest wharf, but when he arrived in Jinling, he found that there was no cleanest in the world, only cleaner.

And it's not surprising to think about it, this Emperor Lu is in the south of the Yangtze River, and he will return to Jinling in the near future, how can the latter be untidy?

But he never imagined a city that could be so clean.

Of course, in addition to the cleanliness of the city, Jinling City under Lu Qi also has many differences from the city under Zhao Song. There are so many private schools and official schools here that Zhao Gou was shocked.

He was particularly shocked by the Tianyi Pavilion, which was the library of Jinling City, which was personally proposed by Emperor Lu, who was named the late stage of incompetence syndrome, and is said to contain no less than 50,000 books and classics of all kinds.

Hearing this, Zhao Gou's eyes lit up.

No matter how dissatisfied you are with Zhao Gou in the official history, you can't deny that this birdman is a good son of a great artist, and he has a literary and artistic style in his bones. He is proficient in poetry and music, calligraphy and painting! Calligraphy, cursive, free and graceful penmanship, natural and smooth, quite the charm of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Zhao Ding smiled but did not speak.

He was not the first governor of Jinling City, but he knew very well how the rules were cultivated.

Jinling City is very clean and tidy, there is no garbage boiling water on the street, and there is no smell of feces and urine in the alleys, the reason is the word 'fine'.

Many people think that the city under Lu Qi's rule is clean, but they don't know that the city management brigade under the state and county police stations of Lu Qi is also the so-called town and city god. Emperor Lu originally set the capital of Yidu City, in order to make the appearance of Yidu clean and tidy, to the extent that Emperor Lu himself requires, how much hard work the people under him had, God knows how many tens of thousands of people in the entire Central Plains have been fined!

Jinling City has also gone through years of renovation, after being ruthlessly punished by the front and rear government Yin, the people inside and outside the city have learned that people have three urgent ways to go to the public toilet, garbage and wastewater are classified into their own categories, and the whole city can be regarded as having today's results!

After a long time, people here have also become accustomed to not defecating in the open and not throwing garbage and dirty water.

Otherwise, people are caught by those with red armbands, and the fine is not a small amount, not to mention, it is also very humiliating. Wear red and yellow jackets to go to your own place, sweep the streets, and pull garbage. The neighbors are all watching, is it a shame or not?

As for some grumpy people during the period, who dare to scold and even beat people, it is simpler, not to mention the more fines, and those with red armbands will also talk about baton beating! If a violent conflict breaks out, such as a bleeding head, it will be even better, and Shanghai and Hong Kong in the east are short of people to repair the earth.

This kind of system is a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder of Emperor Lu, and there are many benefits. Not to mention the appearance of the city, it also reduces the breeding of germs, especially in the warm, humid and hot south.

Besides, this person is inert, defecating in the open, throwing garbage and splashing dirty water everywhere, of course it is comfortable. Therefore, they have to be whipped with a whip, so those who do not follow the rules often end up miserable!

In fact, Emperor Renlu's requirements are not very high, and in the 21st century, this is very normal. As long as you can ignore the difference of nine hundred years.

As far as the local government is concerned, although the work of rectifying the appearance of the city is a very arduous and cumbersome matter, part of the fine belongs to the management brigade, and the urban management brigade in various places is quite willing to do it!
