Holy Roman Empire.

Duchy of Austria.

An aristocratic student from the Habsburg family who went to study in Daming is returning with advanced technology from Daming.

In this dark age of the Habsburgs, the Habsburgs were not yet huge families that won the entire Western world by marriage, nor were they the uncrowned kings of the whole of Europe.

Its influence could only be found in the vicinity of the Duchy of Austria, and could not spread.

But the ambitions and ambitions of the Habsburgs were never heard, and sending students to study in the Ming Dynasty was an attempt to regain the supremacy of the Holy Roman Empire!

So when Albrecht returned to Austria.

He was warmly received by the Habsburg family, and the Ming merchants and craftsmen who accompanied him received unprecedented preferential treatment!

In the Habsburgs, a grand feast unfolded!

Archduke Leopold of Austria was even present at the banquet himself, and he really wanted to know why that ancient and mysterious country in the East had become so powerful.

And how should they learn from the success of the Ming Dynasty?

Continue to fulfill your ambitions and ambitions to become the uncrowned king of the West?

It's just that when Albrecht, who returned from studying in Daming, talked about what he saw and heard in Daming, it really gave all the Habsburg family people present a big shock!

In Albrecht's narration, the Great Ming Jingshi and the Demon Capital seem to be cities in another world.

There are wide, white, dust-free roads.

There are tall, magnificent, and towering high-rise buildings.

It's even more ......

It is a lively, bustling, and busy city.

In addition, there are even machines that are constantly spinning to make goods, and one factory after another is pumping blood to Daming all the time.

Ordnance, clothing, daily necessities, food, ...... As long as it's something that Daming needs.

It's as if these factories can produce it at all!

The materials produced from the Daming Jingshi Factory every day are enough to support an army of 10,000 people for a whole month!

And that's just the output of the Daming Jingshi!

In the magic capital of Daming, there are countless factories in operation!

Meanwhile.

The various political divisions of the Ming Dynasty are also actively preparing for their own factories!

It can be said that every day, earth-shaking changes are taking place in the Ming Dynasty!

But whoever keeps up with this wave has reaped great benefits! Only those who cling to their defects and are stubborn will suffer their interests in such a vast reform!

And with each passing day, their losses are even greater!

Because while they are stagnating, or even retreating, others are moving forward like crazy!

It's no wonder that those people hate Zhu Yunxi so much.

Because they not only completely missed this feast, but also fell to the end in this unprecedented development!

After the people of the Ming Dynasty caught up.

These original local heroes will be completely no different from the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty!

In this way, it is strange that they do not object to Zhu Yunxi!

Those with vested interests are afraid of change.

The beautiful society they imagine is a society in which classes are solidified and the society is always unchanged.

In this way, they will be able to live a good life forever.

The slightest change would make them feel extremely uneasy.

Albrecht is still telling what he has seen and heard in the Ming Dynasty, especially when he tells the story of spending a lot of money on the banks of the Qinhuai River, and there is an unprecedented longing in his eyes.

For him.

The women of the Ming Dynasty, even the ordinary women of ordinary families, are so beautiful!

It can be said that Albrecht dreamed of marrying a woman of the Ming Dynasty!

Even if it's just a kiss...... However, even this simple wish cannot be fulfilled at all......

Even if it is a woman in the flower building on the bank of the Qinhuai River, she can't look down on him at all!

It is only possible to achieve it unless it costs ten or even a hundred times more money to smash it! Even the most ordinary woman needs at least tens of thousands of taels of silver!

But Albrecht was just an ordinary Western aristocrat, how could he have a fortune as much as tens of thousands of taels of silver?

Not to mention Albrecht, even Leopold, who was the Archduke of Austria, couldn't help but shudder when he heard this number, tens of thousands of taels of silver, even the entire Duchy of Austria may not be able to take it out at once!

Come to mind.

Albrecht couldn't help but sigh and sighed: "Archduke Leopold, don't look at us as nobles here. ”

"But if it's really compared."

"We are in Daming Jingshi, I'm afraid it's just about the same as a most ordinary civilian......"

However.

As soon as this remark came out.

Immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many nobles present.

The Habsburg family was extremely large, and there were not only many nobles under its doors, but also many noble women from other countries, and even royal families.

As soon as I heard them, these nobles were not even as good as the commoners of the Ming Dynasty.

Immediately it exploded!

"Nonsense! How long have you been studying in Daming? It's just a good thing to say about the Ming Dynasty! ”

"No matter how you say it, we nobles are all the chosen ones with noble status! How can it be compared to ordinary pariahs?! ”

"That's it! Just to say that the food of our banquet tonight is a delicacy that ordinary civilians can't eat in their lifetime! ”

"Also, look at the fabric on our bodies, how luxurious it is?"

“……”

At the banquet, a group of nobles scrambled to talk about their superiority.

Albrecht's remarks were very dissatisfied.

Even Archduke Leopold, who knew a thing or two about the Great Ming, was a little dissatisfied with Albrecht, thinking that he was exaggerating.

How could the commoners of the Ming Dynasty live better than these nobles?

But he never expected that Albrecht stood up with confidence.

said: "Everyone, don't be unconvinced. ”

"Ask yourself, what do you eat on weekdays, but there is meat at the meal, and you have a full meal?"

"What you're wearing, but silk and satin? Do you have three or four different sets of clothes at home? ”

"Do you live in a soft and comfortable mattress? Is it a soap that can remove stains from the whole body and also emit fragrance? ”

"There's a lot of other things......

Many of the nobles present heard Albrecht talking.

I couldn't help but ask myself seriously.

Although these nobles have a lot of property and are considered wealthy, they can't be said to have meat for their meals and are full of food.

If nothing else, according to Albrecht, the people of the Ming Dynasty have lived a life without shortage of food at all.

Every day I eat some precious grains.

And in their realm, even if they are nobles, it is impossible to take out the precious essence food and eat it with an open stomach.

As for meat, although it is not impossible to eat, it is also impossible to have meat in the meal!

Even if it is the Ming Dynasty, it was only after defeating the Mobei Tatars and the Timurid Empire one after another that a large amount of beef and mutton was obtained.

At the same time, pork is constantly cultivated in the territory to improve the taste of pork.

This is how everyone lives a day with meat!

It's just that the kind of days Albrecht said are limited to the people of Beijing, and if you really want all the people of the Ming Dynasty to live such a life, Zhu Yunxi still has a long way to go.

But Albrecht, of course, did not know any of this.

After coming to Daming, he only stayed in the Daming Jingshi and the Daming Demon Capital.

Naturally, I thought that the people of the Ming Dynasty were like this!

The other nobles are becoming more and more flustered, and it doesn't matter if they can't eat it, as long as they fill their stomachs.

But after listening to Albrecht's description, they found that they really couldn't compare with it!

In terms of wear, many Western aristocrats now only have so many sets of clothes! And most of them are ordinary clothes, and there is often only one expensive dress!

But there are several civilians in the Ming Dynasty! And it's also a silk satin with a very good style and material!

This is in the West, but it is a precious item among valuables!

As for the other things Albrecht described, such as mattresses and soaps, they had never seen or heard of them!

"Da Ming is really rich to such an extent?"

The nobles present couldn't help but be a little incredulous.

After all, this is beyond their knowledge and understanding!

Even Archduke Leopold looked at Albrecht with suspicion, not that he didn't trust the other party enough, but that these things were too shocking!

But Albrecht once again gave everyone present a critical blow.

"And that's just the subtle changes. ”

"Did you know that there is such a thing in Daming, called a train?"

"In one day, you can travel a thousand miles! Towing 10,000 tons of cargo! Thousands of soldiers! ”

"Take my Holy Roman Empire as an example, it only takes one day to travel through the entire Roman Empire from west to east!"

"How convenient is that?"

"And in the territory of Daming, there is a road called 'National Highway'."

"Rain or shine! The speed is several times faster than the normal road! ”

“……”

Albrecht spoke of arising.

From the train of the Ming Dynasty to the national highway, to mining, reservoirs, sea ships, and steam engines, all of them have been talked about again.

Time.

It seems that there is a lifelike Da Ming, showing in front of everyone!

You can almost already see what a prosperous, prosperous, and powerful country it was!

That's a power beyond everyone's comprehension!

Unshakable!

One of the hearts of the Austrian Archduke Leopold rises and falls with Albrecht's description!

Why wouldn't he want to build his Duchy of Austria into the Ming Dynasty?!

If only there really could be such a situation!

Then the ambitions of the Habsburgs will be fully realized!

Merely.

Just based on Albrecht's words, he can't completely conclude that maybe what he saw was exactly what Daming wanted him to see?

You still have to see the real chapter under your hands!

So the Austrian Archduke Leopold hurriedly brought the Ming merchants and craftsmen who came to Habsburg with Albrecht.

said: "A few distinguished guests from Daming. ”

"Are you satisfied with tonight's banquet?"

Tonight's banquet is already the highest standard that the Habsburgs can come up with.

Even an ordinary emperor is on this scale.

But the merchant of Daming only shook his head lightly and said, "General." ”

"I don't feel anything."

Leopold frowned suddenly, but he was not angry, and the other nobleman on the side couldn't bear it.

stood up and said, "This kind of banquet is still ordinary? ”

"I really don't know what to do!"

"Don't think that if you are a guest of Da Ming, we will tolerate such rude behavior!"

And these words are also the words of all the nobles present!

A banquet of this specification is definitely top-notch!

If you are not satisfied, then what kind of days do you live in Daming?

Could it be that the Ming Dynasty is heaven?

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The maritime merchant from Daming patted his head, shook his head and chuckled: "Look at my head, I thought this was Daming for a while." ”

"In our Daming, there are such banquets every night!"

"It's not unusual for a merchant like us."

Seeing that the nobles were still a little dissatisfied.

Archduke Leopold of Austria waved his hand to stop them from messing around.

Step forward.

The same merchant from Daming said, "Oh? So, such a banquet is very common in Daming? ”

"Naturally."

"Then I don't know, what kind of banquet do you think is really honorable?"

"What kind of banquet is strange in your eyes?"

The Ming merchant thought about it.

said: "That is naturally the state banquet for His Royal Highness Taisun to entertain the ministers and hundreds of officials every year!" ”

"Everywhere you go, all of them are dignitaries!"

"In the banquet, there are countless delicacies, all of which are specialties from Tiannan and Haibei, and they are all delicacies made after the tempering of the imperial chef!"

"And at this time."

"The officials of the court will collect strange objects from various places overseas and give them to His Highness."

"To celebrate!"

"These things may not be precious, but they come from all over the world, and they are very strange!"

"Such a banquet can be called honorable!"

At the same time, this kind of banquet is also a banquet that these businessmen want to go to, but can't go!

Naturally, they are the envy of the most!

And with the narration of the Ming businessman, everyone knew how much of a frog they had just now! How narrow the horizon is!

The most noble banquet in the world naturally has to be the state banquet of the Ming Dynasty!

looked at the nobles present with a look of fascination.

The Ming merchant suddenly felt a lot, he hadn't discovered it when he was in the Ming Dynasty, and he was accustomed to everything around him, thinking that everything should be like this.

Although the development and changes of Daming in recent years are great.

But in the absence of a reference, many people do not realize it.

I just feel like my life is much better than before.

But until today, when I went overseas, I didn't understand it when I attended the banquet of the local nobles! It turns out that the development of Daming has reached such a level!

The banquet of the local nobles is almost the same as the banquet of the people of Daming Jingshi!

And the life of these overseas wealthy businessmen is a luxury that these overseas aristocrats can't imagine at all!

It was only at this moment that he truly realized the benefits of His Royal Highness Taisun's reform!

What are the changes in the development of Daming over the years!

Now, even if he is given an overseas nobleman, he is absolutely unwilling! Because he found that the nobility of these places seemed to be like that!

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are similar to the ordinary people of Daming Jingshi!

And there are many enjoyments, such as trains, national highways, hospitals and other infrastructure services, which these Western aristocrats can't keep up!

You can only enjoy it in Daming Jingshi!

"Sure enough, the most inseparable thing for this Ming Dynasty is His Royal Highness Taisun!"

"If there is no His Royal Highness Taisun, how can Da Ming have today?!"

As I spent more and more time overseas.

These Ming maritime merchants also realized the greatness of Zhu Yunxi more and more!

has completely become a die-hard supporter of Zhu Yunxi!

If anyone can't get along with His Royal Highness Taisun, they can't get along with these overseas businessmen!
