Timur came to Kangju City with great fanfare, and before he came, he specially informed the surrounding monarchs, so that everyone knew about it, for fear that the movement would not be big enough.

As for Timur's movements, Zhu Yunxi had long known about it through intelligence networks all over the country.

However, he did not react to this, and in his opinion Timur could be called a hero if he dared to come.

When Timur entered the Ming Dynasty, he was under the special protection of the Ming army.

However, the guards he brought with him were severely limited.

First of all, in terms of numbers, only let him keep two hundred guards, and the rest of the army must stay outside the border of the Ming Dynasty.

Timur looked at the boundary monument covered with Ming characters, and only felt a pang of despair.

It seems that Daming wants to completely occupy the Samarkand region, and has no intention of going back.

It's just that this humiliation has to be borne by an old man who is about to die, which is a bit too cruel.

Although the brand-new boundary monument of the Ming Dynasty gave Timur great stimulation, but who is Timur, who is Timur, who is either fighting in his life, or on the way to the war, how can he be defeated by this small setback?

However, when he saw the flat roads in the area controlled by the Ming Dynasty, Timur was still a little broken.

I have governed this area for decades, and I have never built such a flat and solid road!

Da Ming has only been in power for a few years, and he can make such great progress.

Compared with the two, he is really more than 108,000 miles behind the "Emperor Sun" who is dozens of years younger than him.

Especially when he saw his former people happily pushing wheelbarrows, horse-drawn carts or ox carts on the road, singing and laughing along the way, his heart was like a knife.

Can't go back!

Even if he leads the army back now, the people of this land will pick up swords and guns and help the Ming people to attack him!

Emperor Sun of the Ming Dynasty not only subdued this land, but also subdued the hearts of the people in this land.

His indiscriminate construction and governance of this land alone has benefited the people of this land for several lifetimes!

Timur continued to ride in the carriage, observing the changes along the road.

The village has become cleaner, the market has become more lively, and the street is lined with more vendors and more goods.

In the early years, rare items that only maritime merchants could bring back, such as porcelain, silk, high-quality paper, etc., were sold along the street in the carts of small stall vendors.

This is all the real changes that Daming has brought to this land!

What terrified Timur even more was salt!

He just heard a vendor shouting, a pound of salt only costs ten yuan!

What is the concept of ten cents?

I couldn't even buy half a catty before!

Timur curiously called the roadside vendors.

"Young man, can you show me your salt?"

"Okay!"

"Let me tell you, this is a high-quality salt from Daming, you look at this color, turquoise, a few years ago, only the nobles could afford to use the best salt!"

Timur pinched it, put it in his mouth and tasted it, nodding affirmatively.

"It's really good salt, and it's the best green salt!"

"This kind of salt used to cost a pound of 100 yuan, but I didn't expect it to be sold for only 10 yuan now!"

Green salt is refined by filtration and processing of well salt, and it is also a high-end product in the first few years of the Ming Dynasty.

However, with Zhu Yunxi's intervention in the salt industry, the salt industry of the Ming Dynasty adopted a large number of mechanization and process, and the cost of salt production plummeted.

Although Zhu Yunxi still has not relaxed the monopoly system of salt, it is much better than in the early years.

At the very least, the current officials no longer arrest salt dealers who sell illicit salt.

Because the Daming official salt is completely illegal salt in terms of output, quality, and price.

In order to make money, the current private salt can only be exported to neighboring countries by all means, playing all kinds of gimmicks.

Because of the limitation of the productivity of the Ming Dynasty, the official salt of the Ming Dynasty has not been dumped abroad in large quantities, which gives them a glimmer of life.

"Little brother, can you tell me why such good salt is sold so cheaply?"

"This is of course thanks to our new Emperor, Your Majesty!"

"Our Emperor Ming is powerful, not only defeated Timur, who was full of evil, but also brought us such a good day!"

"This salt is the blessing of our Ming Emperor, he sees that the people in our Kangju area are too bitter, and specially calls on the Ming merchants to sell us salt at a loss, so that our people can eat such a good and cheap salt!"

"Guest officer, do you want to weigh ten catties?"

"I didn't mean to fool you, but I heard that the price of this salt is going to rise......

Timur naturally didn't believe the nonsense of the merchants, and he just said that he was "full of evil", so if he didn't beat this guy, it was already considered merciful, how could he take care of his business?

"The old man doesn't need it!"

"In addition, the old man corrects your mistake, during the reign of His Majesty Timur, although he did not make any achievements, he never harmed the people, how can he say that he is full of evil?"

The salt seller snorted coldly when he heard this.

"The gentlemen of Daming said a word, and we think it is very good."

"What is it called, not in its position, not in its politics......"

"Since Timur's old thing is in the position of emperor, he is guilty of not doing well!"

Timur frowned when he heard this, instinctively thinking that this was too harsh.

If the people of the world think like this, then what else should the emperor do?

Isn't the "Emperor Sun" of the Ming Dynasty afraid that the people will become more and more difficult to deceive?

Timur also heard a famous saying of the Ming Dynasty, which said that the people can make it, but they can't make it.

It stands to reason that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty should know the way of fooling the people, why did Emperor Sun of the Ming Dynasty do the opposite, as if he was afraid that the people would know less......

With this question in mind, Timur observed and listened all the way, and found more incredible things.

For example, everyone argues for the Ming language, even if it is only one or two greetings, and keeps asking the people around them if they have eaten, drunk, and so on.

Timur had long known that the custom of greeting the Daming people was neither Allah nor peace to each other, but vulgar and unruly questions to eat and drink, as if the people in that land had been hungry for several years, and the most important thing was to eat and drink.

Although Timur did not understand, he did not laugh at it. I just think that the Ming people are pitiful, they have no faith, no soul, just a group of walking corpses who know how to eat and drink.

Another point that puzzled Timur was also very much confusing, and that was the ubiquitous scholars of the Ming Dynasty.

These scholars, as if with a pious faith, disseminated knowledge and culture throughout the city of Kangju.

He saw several scholars who painstakingly persuaded the students to attend classes and teach them knowledge.

In addition, there are ubiquitous recruitment notices and recruitment documents, one moment to build a reservoir in a certain place, another to build a certain embankment, or to build a certain ditch, and so on.

These are all big projects, in the Timurid period, this is all forced work for the people, why did it change to the form of recruitment in the hands of the Ming Dynasty?

Does Daming pay back the money for recruitment?

For this reason, he called another local resident to inquire.

"Dare to ask my brother, what does it mean to recruit workers to repair canals, is it paid to recruit workers, or is it free to recruit workers?"

"Of course, it's a free recruitment!"

"But there are also those who do a good job and those who give money, such as stonemasons, bricklayers, carpenters, and so on."

"Ordinary laborers can only earn some work, and if the work is enough, they can offset taxes or something!"

Timur asked curiously.

Timur asked curiously.

"What about the conscription, someone has to do it, right?"

"Da Ming has no conscription!"

"The official document of the Ming Dynasty said that the world is the world of the people of the world, and anyone who works needs to be paid!"

"Our Ming court is good, saying that if you don't levy conscription, you don't levy it, and you pay back money for the work of the officials, hehehehehe......"

"I have thought about it, work hard for a few years, and when I save enough work, I will not offset the taxes, but send my youngest son to study in the official school, and let him gain a reputation in the future!"

"Reading?"

When Timur heard this, he was puzzled.

"I see that many scholars don't teach students for free, so why do they have to spend money to study?"

"The ones you are talking about are private schools, and private schools earn money from the number of students, and the more students each gentleman teaches, the more money the government will pay every month."

"But the official school is different, the official school has to be admitted with real skills, and those who can't get in have to spend money, and it costs a lot of money!"

"Because you can become an official after completing official studies, and if you take the imperial examination, you can also become a big official!"

"Oooh oh ......"

As soon as Timur heard this, he understood, the second-level scholar system.

One public and one private, complementing each other.

The private school cultivates a large number of literate people, and the government school selects the best from these literate people and selects talents who can become officials!

It's a very good system, and I'll have to try to implement it myself when I get back.

After three days of travel, Timur finally arrived in Samarkand, where he had been absent for a long time.

It's just that when he saw the old capital again, he almost didn't recognize the old capital.

"The walls ......"

The original walls of Samarkand are very characteristic of the Western Regions, not only built tall and sturdy, but also sturdy to a certain degree of beauty.

However, the current city walls ......

I can't say that it's not good-looking, but it's a little out of tune with the dome building in the city, and it feels like the scenery of two worlds is patched together.

Timur saw the huge plaque hanging above the city with the words "Kangju" written on it, and his eyes flashed with angry flames.

Daming is so hateful, it's just a matter of occupying Samarkand, and even changing the name of Samarkand!

This is to completely eliminate the cultural heritage of Samarkand!

However, after entering the city, Timur was not so angry.

Because he couldn't get angry anymore.

Looking at the more and more Ming-style buildings in the city, Samarkand felt a sense of grief and indignation in his heart.

Perhaps it won't be long before the glorious buildings in the city will be demolished and replaced with attic-style buildings like the Ming Dynasty......

Since then, there has been no Musilin culture in this land!

When Timur came to the former palace, he instinctively thought that Zhu Yunxi would occupy the palace, but when he came here, he found that the palace had been transformed into a yamen for the official office.

The original gate of the palace was demolished, and together with the open space in front of the palace and part of the area behind the gate, a huge fountain square was built.

The buildings in the palace have also changed a lot, and all the buildings have become symmetrical, and if there is a building in the east, there must be one in the west.

"The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Officials, ......"

"This is the six-part system that Daming is famous for at home and abroad, right?"

When the officials of Honglu Temple heard that Timur had arrived, they hurriedly ran over to greet him, and when they heard Timur say this, they hurriedly echoed him.

"Your Majesty is wise, this is indeed a system unique to my Ming Dynasty, which originated from the three provinces and six ministries system of the Tang Dynasty."

"However, this system is not only used by our Ming Dynasty, but also by North Korea, Japan, Vietnam and other countries."

"Oooh oh ......"

"Your clothes ......"

Timur soon noticed the difference, as every Ming official wore clothes of a similar style, the only difference was the pattern on their chest and the color of their clothes.

But there are also many people who have the same color of clothes, only the pattern on the chest is different.

"Oh, Your Majesty means our official uniforms, right?"

"Official uniform?"

"What is the official uniform?"

For a long time, the costume system was a unique culture of China, and Korea, Japan, Vietnam and other countries were influenced by the Central Plains Dynasty and also highly borrowed from the Ming Dynasty.

In contrast, the Middle East and Europe at the same time had no concept of uniformity, only some conventional rules.

"Back to Your Majesty Timur, the official government is the clothes that officials usually wear in their offices."

"In our Ming Dynasty, there are strict rules and restrictions on the clothes that officials wear when they work."

"For example, the official grade is the fourth grade, so you must wear a red official uniform, and the embroidery on the chest must also be in line with the grade."

"The Yunyan embroidered on Weichen's chest represents the four products ......"

"Oooh oh ......"

Timur felt that he had learned great knowledge, and all the officials were dressed according to the regulations, didn't it mean that His Majesty the Emperor could tell at a glance what rank and even position this person was?

Ordinary people see and know the rank of this official, and there will be no situation where the wrong person is recognized.

No wonder Da Ming is powerful, it turns out that even what officials wear is so detailed!

In contrast, his empire doesn't have this concept at all, so it looks like a grass platform team!

If you can ...... from Daming this time Bah, if you can go back from Samarkand, you have to set up a similar system yourself, so that the officials of the empire wear clothes according to the regulations!

What Timur didn't know was that His Majesty the industrious Emperor Zhu not only set standards for officials to wear clothes, but even formulated a set for the common people, and even down to the details of what kind of shoes the common people worn......

However, this system did not wait for him to step down, and it was already corrupted during his tenure as emperor.

The common people advocate luxury, and there are a variety of silk shoes, and many luxurious women will also decorate their shoes with pearls and jade.

Zhu Yuanzhang issued several strict orders for this, but he still did not stop this unhealthy trend.

"Your Majesty, please come with Weichen ......"

"My Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty learned that His Majesty had arrived, and specially ordered someone to clean up the palace where you lived before, you can stay there and wait for the summons of our Emperor!"

"Oh?"

Timur was very surprised to hear this, in his opinion, even if the Ming "Emperor Sun" did not use the palace for his own use, he should not be so bad, right?

"Dare to ask where His Majesty the Emperor of your country lives?"

"How long will it take to see me?"

"Oh, our Emperor doesn't like the noise inside the city, and has built a new palace in a secluded place outside the city."

"As for when I will receive you, it depends on the mood of our Majesty."

"Our Majesty is currently discussing with His Majesty the Pope from Rome about the future of religion in the West, and I am afraid that I will not have time to meet you in the near future."
