Chapter 547: Propaganda Division (3) Gu Lun and Princess Xiao
In the end, the left is just a woman, and she is not a high-ranking figure. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info so at the executive level, no one will pay too much attention to Xia Bing. It is only now, when he became the Minister of Finance, that he attracted everyone's attention.
In this regard, Xia Bing also expected. Wan Er, who didn't care, smiled and continued: "I think it's necessary for me to introduce myself!" ”。 briefly talked about his place of origin and the position he has held since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.
Gu Lun and Princess Xiao in the audience stood beside Feng Shen Yinde. Some obsessed, watching Xia Bing talk to himself on stage.
In fact, on such an important occasion as today, she is not qualified to come. Because she is a guest from afar from the Qing Dynasty, she is a wealthy gentleman and a virtuous minister, and she is not a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, this kind of banquet with strong political and political overtones should not allow people without official status to come in.
However, Xia Bing, as the first female finance minister of the Ming Dynasty, has very important social significance. And after the Ming Jing Put, the Ming Dynasty also needed to convey to the outside world that the Ming Dynasty was politically stable. Therefore, at the banquet, many representative figures from all walks of life were specially invited.
Ambassadors from Britain, France, the United States, Portugal, Siam, Myanmar, Mysore and other countries have basically arrived. Some well-known entrepreneurs, representatives of all walks of life, and outstanding talents in the Ming Dynasty have also been invited.
Due to the identity of Fengshen Yinde and Gulun and Princess Xiao, Daming also specially sent them an invitation. It's just that the name is a pseudonym specially given to them by the Intelligence Department. The real identity was also deliberately hidden.
Even if they claim their true identity to the outside world, no one will believe them.
Of course, before arranging for them, the Intelligence Department also specifically instructed them not to disclose them. As smart people, they also know how to cooperate well. It was also after coming to Daming that they learned about the prestige of the Intelligence Department from the newspapers and people's after-dinner conversations. So it's not so stupid to go against the Intelligence Department.
After all, this is not the Qing Dynasty, and no matter how prominent the status was in the past, it no longer works.
In addition, they understand the truth that their arms can't twist their thighs. Therefore, in these days of living in Daming, they are all very peaceful. The members of the Intelligence Division, who were monitoring them, did not embarrass them.
After receiving the invitation, Princess Hexiao, driven by curiosity, asked Feng Shen Yinde to bring herself to the banquet.
Although she has been in Daming for three or five months, she really doesn't know anything about this banquet. However, she secretly guessed in her heart that it might be similar to the palace banquet of the Qing Kingdom. But after seeing so many novel things in Daming, she felt that it was probably a little different from what she had guessed.
It is also these days that Daming has shocked her, which is too great.
Novelties such as electric lights that can light without lighting them, cars that drive automatically without livestock, high-rise buildings that can be built without wood, and telephone calls that can chat without face-to-face have shattered her perception since she was a child.
Let her think that the founders of the Ming Dynasty are really immortals who descended from the sky. Otherwise, how could there be such a great power to create such a magical object.
Even her Emperor Ama, the supreme emperor of the Qing Empire, had never seen such a novelty.
When she thought about Jeju Island before, she thought that the island's flush toilets, shower heads that controlled hot and cold water at will, horse-drawn carriages driving on railroad tracks, perfumes and cosmetics that people couldn't put down, were all Daming's ridiculous ideas, and she really felt absurd.
It is also in response to the old saying: 'There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky!' ’。 Nothing, absolutely.
But what shocked her the most was the city of Daming.
Because unlike the habit of casting walls as cities in the Qing Dynasty, the cities of the Ming Dynasty did not have city walls. When she passed by the flowery Johor Bahru before, she thought it was just a special case. I didn't think of Mingjing, only to find that the capital of the Ming Dynasty also had no city walls.
Not only that, but Daming's city is unbelievably clean. On the straight asphalt pavement, there is not a single animal manure or manure in sight. And this is not because there are no animals such as horses and donkeys on the road. Rather, behind the buttocks of these animals, they all have a cloth bag wrapped around them.
This is obviously different from the status quo of the Qing State going to Nalana.
And then there's the very wide area of the city!
On the side of the road, there were rows of shops. Mingjing's Haiphong District, Xinnan District, Linbei District, Hope District, and Shenyou District are all connected. Take a car around the city of Mingjing, and the sound of selling is endless.
The whole commercial atmosphere is also a hundred times stronger than that of the Qing Dynasty. And in front of those shops, there will be all kinds of billboards. Use bold and seductive words to entice guests in. At night, the city is also lit up.
Some theaters, clubs, and other places of fun have also opened. No matter how late people walk the streets, there will be no arrests.
It was like a new world, and it made her feel a real novelty.
But she also has something to puzzle about!
That is a city like Daming that has no borders, isn't it afraid of being attacked by the enemy? And if there is no curfew, aren't you afraid of thieves?
It's a pity that this question, even the husband she trusts and relies on the most, can't give an answer.
Just as her thoughts were sinking deeper and deeper, thunderous applause suddenly sounded in her ears. She also came back to her senses, and her gaze was fixed on Xia Bing again.
In her cognition, she has never seen a woman as an official. Even those nurturing grandmothers in the palace who are qualified to teach the elderly have no official status.
So she was very shocked and curious about Xia Bing's appointment as the Minister of Finance of the Ming Dynasty and her becoming a high-ranking official.
Originally, she thought that Xia Bing would be a woman who looked similar to a man. Or, it's a 'demon girl' who looks like the godmother of the Ming Dynasty. Let countless men bow down under her pomegranate skirt.
But when she saw Xia Bing's true appearance, she realized that this was very different from the person she imagined.
Because Xia Bing doesn't look like a man, but also has the unique spirit of a Jiangnan woman. In terms of appearance, it is also very ordinary. So much so that in her eyes, she is not a beauty at all. Compared with Sister Fuliu standing on the field, it is really a heaven and an underground.
But what cannot be ignored is that Xia Bing has a temperament that cannot be ignored. It seems that no difficulty can stop her.
She has also felt this way. That's her Emperor Amma! It seems that in heaven and earth, there is nothing that her emperor Ama can't do.
