When Zhu Jingyuan arrived at his own vassal state, in a sense, he was considered a vassal country.

Then the first formal royal council was held, which was actually the first official early dynasty of the Great Food Country.

First of all, the future development direction of the Great Food Country was determined, and the most important work at present was also determined, that is, the construction of a seawater chemical plant.

After unifying his thinking, Zhu Jingyuan arranged some other things:

"I'll write some detailed suggestions in the future, and I can try to see if these ideas are feasible when we build more seawater chemical plants in the future.

"There is another thing, the royal government is preparing to take over all the schools in the Great Food Country and establish a complete primary and secondary school teaching.

"In the future, private schools will no longer be allowed, and the royal government will set up a school department to directly manage all schools, and all schools will use the unified teaching materials of the Ming court.

"We and the children of the workers have to be managed to learn things, and we can't be idle.

"If the teacher is not enough, go to Daming to hire it, and if no one wants to come, then add money.

"Escort force training, I will ask Guan Zhenfu to send veterans to help.

"The money you make from selling oil is spent in every way.

"Of course, you have to spend it well.

"This reality is not only to return the actual things, but also to the actual people.

"From this month onwards, all the officials in the royal palace will increase by 30 percent, and every year for the next three years."

The things arranged by Zhu Jingyuan are all normal, and it is even more impossible for anyone to object to the direct mention of Yulu.

Therefore, the ministers of the Great Food Country all got up and bowed down with high temperaments.

Zhu Jingyuan finished arranging the work and asked the ministers to go their separate ways.

He returned to the inner hall and asked the bookkeeper to help him write a reply to his father, and accept the second arrangement given by his grandfather.

Then he summoned several costume craftsmen led by Chu Yuqiang.

The "governor" of the Ming Dynasty is not a position, nor can it be used as a title for officials, it is actually a verb.

It is written in the form of "the governor of a certain place and something", which means to oversee certain places and things in general.

Similar titles include General System, Prime Minister, Economic Strategy, Supervisor, Admiral, etc.

In essence, it doesn't matter if it is big, or even has no grade, unless the court orders and arranges, there is no clear relationship between superiors and subordinates.

What to do depends on the scope of power given by the imperial court.

The things that Zhu Jingyuan wants to be the "governor" are not only the military and political affairs of the Great Food, the Great Qinhai, and the Mozhou region, but also foreign affairs.

In fact, it is to continue to hand over the diplomacy with Tessie to himself to lead and manage.

Foreign affairs are not just official negotiations, in fact, there are many levels of things, and there are also many private activities.

A lot of diplomats are essentially overt spies.

Zhu Jingyuan now feels that the things that Chu Yuqiang is responsible for can even be counted in foreign affairs.

If you don't have a relevant position, then the clothing thing is a social experiment.

Now that I'm going to take on this title, I'll have to use a little bit of heart.

Zhu Jingyuan personally wrote a simple "letter of introduction".

Explain that he wants to open a clothing business and run a custom clothing and ready-to-wear business in Taixi.

Chu Yuqiang is the shopkeeper of the trading house hired by himself, and hopes that the royal nobles and court officials of the Taixi countries can give convenience.

Then sign your name and put your own stamp on it.

If nothing else, this letter of introduction will allow Chu Yuqiang to move unimpeded in Taixi.

He should also be a guest of honor at the banquet of the nobles of Tessie.

The letter of introduction does not specify the range of clothing types to be operated.

Chu Yuqiang's firm, although the main focus is on new clothes designed by Zhu Jingyuan, it is impossible to sell only those clothes.

The original Daming clothing will continue to be sold, and there will be new styles in the future.

Zhu Jingyuan handed the letter of introduction to Chu Yuqiang, and then quite a bit

For the solemn command:

"The things you have to do are still those things, and what you have to do is sell the clothes I designed and see what impact it can have on Tessie.

"I would like to remind you that the men used in the promotional photos and pictorials on display of the clothes must be from the Ming Dynasty.

"Mainly use tall and mighty, strong and not fat, stable and dignified temperament, and domineering, according to the standards of the honor guard.

"Secondary, choose a heroic and beautiful gentleman, or an elegant and gentle son.

"All in all, it is to make people feel comfortable when they look at it, and this standard Chu Gong himself should be able to control.

"Again, men must be Ming people, and Xiyi men must not be used.

"Most of the women use the Ming people, and they also have to choose the type that has an outstanding image and will definitely be pleasing to people.

"Use a dignified, elegant and temperamental type as much as possible, and the delicate little jasper is a secondary choice.

"A small number of women use Xiyi women, but don't look for the best Xiyi women, just use the ordinary people you find around you.

"When there are more than three women, you can arrange for an ordinary Tessie woman."

If Zhu Jingyuan hadn't been in charge of foreign affairs in his title, he wouldn't have put forward so many modernization requirements.

Just use the Ming people to show it.

And Zhu Jingyuan's special requirements made Chu Yuqiang a little confused.

If His Royal Highness Prince Dashi doesn't like Xiyi women, then just use Daming women.

Why do you have to find some ordinary Xiyi women to shoot?

Chu Yuqiang thought about it again and again, but in the end he didn't dare to ask Prince Dashi's intentions.

Wait back and discuss it with those Boers who are also Xiyi.

Zhu Jingyuan looked at Chu Yuqiang and just bowed down and agreed, without asking for any details, a little worried that he couldn't fully understand his intentions.

So Zhu Jingyuan took the initiative to speak again:

"You just have to know these requirements yourself, and don't discuss them with outsiders, especially those Boer craftsmen.

"If you have any ideas and guesses, you can come and discuss them with me directly, don't hide them, don't figure them out on your own.

"If there is a problem in the implementation of these requirements because they do not understand the true intent, it will be more than worth the cost."

Chu Yuqiang suddenly felt that his heart had been seen through, and a layer of cold sweat immediately oozed from his forehead, and he hurriedly asked directly:

"Why did Your Highness specifically look for ordinary Xiyi women to shoot propaganda posters?"

Zhu Jingyuan asked rhetorically:

"Daming women use good-looking ones, Xiyi women use ordinary ones, if you compare them together, how will people who see this kind of picture feel?"

Chu Yuqiang thought about it and tried to interpret it:

"The Xiyi men and women who saw the advertising pictorial may instinctively feel that the Xiyi women are not as beautiful as the Ming women.

"But Xiyi women are not as beautiful as our Ming women, so there is no need to compare them so specifically......

Zhu Jingyuan listened to Chu Yuqiang's evaluation and smiled directly:

"Ordinary people in Taixi haven't seen the Ming people much, but they may not think so, so this operation still needs to be done.

"And the contrast between women is only one thing, within the photographs and pictorials, and the contrast between men is outside of that.

"Xiyi looked at the photos of Ming men in the pictorial, and naturally compared them with ordinary Xiyi men around them."

"My subordinates understood."

Chu Yuqiang nodded lightly in agreement, and then tried to draw inferences:

"Is there a difference in the way you can choose from different types of clothes?

"The highest-end clothes, aimed at the clothing of the wealthy class such as the aristocracy and the high-level new elite, are completely used by the Ming people.

"If it's for the middle and lower classes, or work clothes and housekeeper clothes, shouldn't you use the Ming people?"

After hearing this, Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously wanted to agree, and then shook his head after a little consideration:

"Not exactly, it's not just the clothing that targets the wealthy class to be displayed by the Ming people.

"As long as there is no clear identity label for clothes, all ordinary popular clothes must be displayed as much as possible by Ming people.

"Only those you mentioned later, who may have obvious identity labels, can avoid the Ming people when needed.

"For example, Taixi's maid costume, as well as the special women's clothing used for Fengyue occasions, can't be displayed with Ming women, but should be displayed with orchids or Xiyi women.

"If there are characters such as a driver, a housekeeper, a maid, and a grandmother in the display screen, you can also use Hu Ren to show it.

"If there are lower-end people appearing, such as buddies, laborers, etc., you can find Xiyi men, but there shouldn't be.

"If there is, the selection criteria are the opposite of the Ming people, the body size can be short, thin, and you can find ugly and distinctive.

"Or the overall image is extraordinarily feminine and delicate, and people can be regarded as women when they wear women's clothes.

"Oh yes, this last kind of person, you can enlarge the scope of use a little bit, you can promote clothes that suit their image.

"But no matter what the image, all Tessie men can't stand with Ming women."

Chu Yuqiang listened to Zhu Jingyuan's introduction, slowly changed from confusion to abruptness, and then summarized the criteria:

"The subordinates understood, all the clothes without identity tags were made of Da Ming people, all men were Da Ming people, and a small number of women were used orchids and Xiyi women.

"Regarding identity labels, the Ming people show the aristocratic class, the Hu people show the noble entourage, and the Taixi people show the bottom ......."

Zhu Jingyuan nodded lightly this time and said:

"That's pretty much it, but these standards can't be put on paper, you just follow them silently, and don't discuss them with anyone."

Chu Yuqiang bowed seriously and agreed:

"My subordinates understand that this is their own personal preference, and it has nothing to do with Your Highness or anyone else."

Zhu Jingyuan smiled, and sincerely encouraged a few words, opened a note of 10,000 silver bills, and asked people to send Chu Yuqiang away.

Then Zhu Jingyuan sat down and reflected on the communication process with Chu Yuqiang just now, feeling that he was a little vicious.

Zhu Jingyuan pondered for a long time, and decided to change his thinking, take the time to get relatively mature film equipment, and use the same standards to make movies.

Chu Yuqiang took Zhu Jingyuan's letter of introduction and first went to the official office of the palace to register a commercial bank.

I opened a commercial bank account in Daming Bank, took the approval slip to receive the funds, most of which were deposited in the commercial bank account, and a small part was carried with me.

Then after two more days of repairs, he set off with a few other craftsmen.

He took a passenger ferry to the deepest part of the Persian Gulf, and after going ashore, he used a letter of introduction from Zhu Jingyuan to take a military train on a temporary military railway.

Take the train through the Dashi Peninsula to the coast of the Daqin Sea, and then take a steamer again to sail west.

Once in the south of France, go ashore and take the train directly to Paris.

There are several important national capitals in Ctessi, Paris, London, Berlin, Madrid, Rome, Vienna, and Moscow.

But in addition to Rome in Italy, and in addition to Berlin, Prussia has many other important cities in the country.

And there is only Paris in France, and apart from Paris is a large rural village, where most of France's elite gather.

At the same time, Paris is the de facto largest city on the mainland of Ctessy.

Therefore, the headquarters of Chu Yuqiang's firm should be located in Paris to facilitate the rapid expansion of influence.

When Chu Yuqiang arrived in Paris, he first went to his former colleagues at the Tessie branch of the royal garment firm and settled down with their help.

After resting for two days and recovering his mental state, he took Zhu Jingyuan's letter of introduction and went directly to Versailles to visit Prince Charles of France.

Prince Charles was the second son of Louis XVI, who became France after the death of his brother

of the crown prince.

Of course, the crown prince is not something that ordinary people can meet casually.

But with Zhu Jingyuan's letter of introduction, Chu Yuqiang was no longer an ordinary person immediately, and he met this lucky French boy all the way unimpeded
