He Feitu is not the first time to come to Nanjing, long before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied the city of Nanjing, he also came to Nanjing several times, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom naturally did not come during the occupation of Nanjing, but after the Chinese army conquered the city and established the capital here in the past two years, he also came twice.

However, after arriving in Nanjing this time, I found that there were many changes compared to the last time.

After entering the city, the streets are full of people, not at all the depression of two years ago, and the shops on both sides of the street are lined with the sound of sales, in addition to these scenes, there are more people here.

It is rare to see people with braids on the back of their heads, most of the men are wearing an inch on their heads, and those Manchu custom cheongsam clothes are not worn by anyone, even if there are still people wearing horse coats and robes, but most of them are middle-aged and elderly, many people wear suits or Chinese clothes, and some people wear flowing Hanfu.

The overall atmosphere is not at all as chaotic as that of the business district, and just from this street, you can see the collision and fusion of traditional and Western styles.

Sitting on the light Western-style two-wheeled carriage, He Feitu carefully looked at this kind of city, and couldn't help but sigh after half a day, this Nanjing has changed too much, it has only been two years but it has been unrecognizable.

It has to be said that the relevant cultural and customs policies implemented by the Chinese Empire are still relatively effective, and the large-scale promotion of the shaving order, from top to bottom, has made the people generally begin to shave off the long braids, leaving an inch of hair has become a trend, especially among young people, basically nine out of ten young people have cut off their braids, and at the same time, the measures to promote Chinese clothing and Hanfu are also to make the cheongsam left over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty quickly withdraw from the people's lives in a short period of time.

Not to mention the Chinese costume, this kind of clothing, which is designated as the daily attire of officials, still has too many limitations. Except for officials and a few confident young people, ordinary people still dare not wear this kind of Chinese costume. Because most of the people who wear Chinese clothes now are officials, and you are a flat-headed common people wearing Chinese clothes. Doesn't this spit out hot jokes.

Just like the Hongqi car in later generations, if you don't mix it up at the ministerial or even national level, are you embarrassed to sit in the back of the Hongqi car? As for driving it yourself, it's even more nonsense, buying a car for tens or even millions to drive by yourself and then being treated as a full-time driver, it is estimated that it is also a typical example of spending money to buy shame.

The Chinese costume of this year is also the same as the clothing that was implemented as the regular dress of officials, and the people who wear this dress on weekdays are officials, and it is worth noting that the current Chinese costume is still limited to the concept of formal wear. Chinese clothes made of high-quality fabrics are expensive, and they are generally worn by officials, and very few are worn by ordinary people.

However, the promotion of Hanfu with a strong retro style is very smooth, thanks to the explicit provisions of the empire to make Hanfu a dress for large-scale national ceremonies, Lin Zhe's enthronement ceremony and Dingdu ceremony, a large number of officials are wearing Han-style dresses, and China has always been a top-down country, and the empire regards Hanfu as a kind of dress, some major ceremonies of the people. For example, at festivals such as the Spring Ploughing Ceremony, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Chongyang Festival, local officials and local gentry will change into Hanfu for ceremonies, and it is slowly promoted.

However, the Hanfu that can be promoted on a large scale among the people is not an orthodox Hanfu of the Han and Tang dynasties or the Ming Dynasty. In general, it has been improved, especially the improvement of women's clothing is moving in the direction of studio costumes in later generations.

Compared with men's clothing, which has several choices, the promotion of women's clothing is more popular. Female dependents in middle- and upper-class families have now generally changed into Hanfu, why? Because the royal family and the daughters of high-ranking officials are all dressed in Hanfu. Naturally, there are many people following the trend, and those extremely ugly women's clothes of the late Qing Dynasty can rarely be seen on the female dependents of middle- and upper-class families.

It is necessary to reflect the ethos of a country. In fact, the most obvious thing is the external things such as dress, speaking of the Qing Dynasty, most people's minds automatically come up with the cheongsam and the rat tail, when it comes to the reform and opening up, the first thing people think of is the same green military uniform and Zhongshan suit, and now people talk about the Chinese Empire, the first impression is the inch head and Chinese clothing.

The signs of these two appearances are the most obvious traces of the times of the Chinese Empire!

And now Nanjing, which fully embodies the characteristics of the Chinese Empire, does not need to think much about it, just see the people on the street to know that this is the territory of the Chinese Empire.

After entering the city and bypassing a few crowded streets, He Feitu arrived at the foothold, a big businessman like him naturally would not go to an inn, and there was no luxurious and high-end hotel like the Bund Hotel in Nanjing as a place to stay, so he lived in the office of Huisheng Textile Company in Nanjing.

However, he did not rest or anything after staying there, but hurried to the Ministry of Education that afternoon to report and sign his name on the list of guests at the state banquet.

Later, I was told that I would go to the Department of Ceremonies of the Ministry of Education tomorrow for special etiquette training, so as not to know the rules and violate the royal rules after these dirt buns entered the Zhonghua Palace.

Early the next morning, He Feitu arrived at the building of the Ministry of Education, and when he was led to a small courtyard, he found that there were already twenty or thirty people waiting in it.

Seeing these people, He Feitu didn't dare to be as big as everyone else, so he hurriedly went up two steps to greet each other, but he took this opportunity to meet some people he didn't know.

"This is the elder of Longsheng grain and oil, you should have heard of his family's grain and oil business, but the designated military food supplier of the military, the monthly turnover is millions!" He Feitu was led by friends and got to know each other one by one.

The old man Gao was a little old, and it was estimated that he had been tired all the way, so that his spirit was not very good, and his face was sallow, and he just smiled, and then politely said a few words and did not speak.

"This is Mr. Lu, the president of the North Zhejiang Money Association, and his Degao Money Village has been very popular in the past two years, and I heard that even the Royal Bank has to help Mr. Lu to carry out business in North Zhejiang!" Hearing the obvious praise of his friends, Mr. Lu also smiled twice, and hurriedly said: There, there, it's just a mouthful of food!

There are more and more people here, and He Feitu is also busy greeting everywhere without touching his feet, not only him, but others are also doing the same, this is not a lot of opportunities to gather the top wealthy businessmen from the north and south of the country, it is estimated that it will be just this time, take this opportunity to contact us more, maybe when it will be used.

There were even people talking about business on the spot, and if someone counted it, in the short hour they talked, they had already reached a verbal agreement on millions of dollars of business.

However, this time did not last long, and at about ten o'clock in the morning, several officials in tunics walked in, led by a middle-aged official with a goatee. (To be continued......)
