Chapter 154: Magalni's Suggestion
From this point of view, the Jurchens were actually still in the barbaric slave era, but they just happened to have a good opportunity, and they encountered serious infighting in China and were in a weak time, and at this time, the northern far north was just in the ice age, and the Jurchens were really helpless by B, so they gambled on the fate of the entire nation to confront the Ming Dynasty.
Generally speaking, the chief eunuch of the worship room has to write down the year, month and day when observing other people's sexual intercourse, so that it can be checked and verified in the future when she is pregnant. The emperor had sex with his concubines, and the procedure was a little more complicated.
After dinner every day, the chief eunuch presented a large silver plate, which contained dozens of green cards, and later Zhang Hanyue rummaged through the cabinets to find some information only to know that the name of the so-called brand was called the card, because it was often presented after dinner, so it was called a meal card, and the name of a concubine was written on each brand.
When it was time for the emperor to go to bed, he went to bed first, covered with a quilt to the ankle joint, and his feet exposed; didn't see this, Zhang Hanyue was always excited in his heart, and he thought countless times in his heart what would happen if the eunuch was himself, the eunuch had already stripped him naked in the concubine's room, and then wrapped him in a big cloak, carried it all the way to the dormitory, and then ripped off the cloak and put the concubine on the bed. The concubine crept into the quilt from the exposed dragon's feet, and then "interacted with the emperor". This was a security measure to prevent anyone from sneaking weapons into the emperor's bedchamber.
At this time, the eunuch withdrew from the room and waited outside the window with the chief steward, waiting for the completion of the matter. In order to prevent the emperor from dying from a stroke, the chief had to shout "It's time" outside after a little longer. "If the emperor is in high spirits and pretends to be deaf and dumb, he will shout again." If so, "the third", the emperor could not delay any longer, but had to "stop the courtesy" and beckon the eunuch into the room. After the eunuch went in. The concubine had to face the emperor and climb out of the quilt upside down. The eunuch wrapped her cloak again and carried her out of the door.
Then he saw the blonde girl say with a nonchalant face, "Hmph...... I said that you don't believe me, and when the time comes, I'll tell Uncle Magalny to call you back!" "The girl looked unhappy when she watched that issue.
When Zhang Hanyue heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, his expression looked a little unnatural, and he asked in fluent English with a London accent: "You, what did you say?" Do you know Magalny? That is, is it the Magalny who visited China? Zhang Hanyue's mouth opened wide at this time, just like discovering a new continent, so big that he could stuff a red egg into it.
"Wow! I didn't expect that there were still people in the Qing Kingdom who had such a good English club. Or a London accent, oh my! The blonde girl covered her mouth, looking incredulous.
"Uh...... I remember that Uncle Magalny said that he was going to come here to discuss something...... What is the same thing...... "The little girl couldn't remember what she was going to say for a while, but she was unwilling, scratching her ears and cheeks in pain, looking very cute.
"Hey! Wrong! Uncle Magalny said he couldn't say it! You, how would you know! The blonde girl made a sudden realization.
"Commerce!" Zhang Hanyue blurted out.
At this time, a debate was raging in the British Cabinet.
"Why can't you send troops? Wherever the sun shines. Just fly the flag of our British Empire! A white-haired cabinet minister said with a roar, with an innate pride on his face.
"Mr. Adrien Latin, though our British Empire is the unrivaled world hegemon. There is no doubt about this, but we still don't know about the Qing Kingdom, and even our intelligence officers have a hard time entering this country, even if they do. Our work is also extremely difficult to carry out. As he spoke, Auston's head was held high, and the scent of cologne emanated from his body.
Alfre, who was sitting silently next to him, suddenly stood up, frowned, and said, "Auston." Can you wear less perfume? Also, although you are French, can we speak English in the English Cabinet meeting? ”
"I conversed with the nobles in French and reprimanded the slaves in English," Alston said. Auston said with some pride.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Aren't we talking about the Qing State now? How can you deviate from the question of English and French? I think that now that the empire's finances are tight, it is better to send an embassy to negotiate with the Qing State, if it succeeds, our production of spirits, glass, and all kinds of industrial products can be dumped on the Qing State in a steady stream, but it is really not possible, you can also listen to the truth, from the perspective of our national interests, sending an embassy is actually the best choice. Chancellor of the Exchequer Arche Bucci spoke eloquently.
"Yes! I agree with Magalni that even the sun never sets on the empire should not make unnecessary sacrifices, and besides, we don't know our enemies yet, so sending a mission is the best option, and I want to remind you that it is time to discuss national affairs behind closed doors, please put away your 'aristocratic' temperament for me! Prime Minister William Pitt Jr. said with a look of seriousness.
William Pitt Jr. said this, basically finalized this matter, all the nobles who were still flickering stopped shouting with interest, only to see William Pitt Jr. paused, as if thinking about something, and after a while, said: "Well...... This matter is left to Mr. Magalny, a gentleman. William Pitt's face turned to a smile again.
Magalny was stunned for a moment, happiness came too fast, Magalny didn't react for a while, but still subconsciously replied with an affirmative face: "yes!" ”
……
At night, a group of people gathered in a room that Zhang Hanyue had rented from nowhere.
Some people are happy and some are worried, this ancient version of the job fair has finally ended now, some people are happy and some are worried, most of the people who were successfully selected for the construction team have successfully gotten the money so far, and then happily went home to settle down their wives and children, quit their previous jobs, some people have never got so much money back in their lives, and they have been ridiculed by their neighbors until now they finally raise their eyebrows.
Zhang Hanyue sat on the chair and looked like a quietly beautiful man.
At this time, William? Chabus took a stack of drawings and said slowly: "Mr. Zhang, you see, according to the soil quality of the Beijing Division, as well as the height of 100 meters you want to build, I refer to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the pattern of Pixiu in the capital that integrates Chinese tradition, and the north-south central axis spreads out to the east and west. The orderly repetition of walls, columns, doors, windows, etc. of buildings is used to produce a kind of rhythmic beauty or rhythmic beauty, which is arranged rhythmically to form a continuous spatial sequence.
