Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1924, The Prosperity and Prosperity of the Capital

"Our capital city of Ming Dynasty, but there are many places worth visiting. When you come to the capital city, you must watch a football match, listen to a play, and go to the zoo to see animals from all over the world. .”

In a leisure area of ​​the Daming Royal Hotel, many students gathered together, excitedly discussing the travel plans for the capital. Peter Chen, Zeng Ziying, Li Xiangdong, and Yun Tiantian had just arrived in the capital, but because they were taking the sleeper train Those who came here are not tired, but they are full of energy, clamoring that they will start to go around today.

Anyway, it's still June, it's still very early, and there are still a few months before the exam. Let's play and relax in the capital first, and then it's okay to prepare for the exam.

The imperial examination is not useful for cramming at all. Even if you work hard to prepare for the exam, the probability of being able to enter high school is still very small.

Nearly 2 people came to take the imperial examination, and there were only more than 500 places. With such a place with such an acceptance rate, most of them probably came to the capital to experience the prosperity and excitement of the capital.

So after finally coming to the capital, it is natural to have a good time and have fun.

Chen Peter listened to Li Xiangdong and Yun Tiantian chattering about the interesting things about the capital, talking about our Daming one by one, which always made Chen Peter feel a little awkward.

Because both of them are Caucasians and Georgians out-and-out, and there is a huge difference in appearance from Daming people, it is always a bit awkward to call us Daming over and over again.

To be honest, Chen Peter still doesn't have that strong sense of identification with the Ming Empire, and he has only read sage books for a short time.

He grew up in an aristocratic family of the Principality of Moscow. It wasn't until the Black Earth Province was included in the territory of Ming a few years ago that everything about Ming gradually filled his daily life.

Li Xiangdong and Yun Tiantian are different. They grew up under the rule of Ming Dynasty since they were young, and their parents often told them about their miserable life in the past, and talk about their happy life after becoming a citizen of Ming Dynasty.

Under the influence of our ears and eyes, Nanyun Province has gradually forgotten the previous concepts of Caucasians and Georgians, and the concepts of Ming people and people of Ming Dynasty have gradually gained everyone's approval.

Being part of the Ming Empire, the people of the Great Ming Dynasty are very lucky for the natives of Nanyun Province.

In the past, they were the targets of looting by the Ottoman Turks, Persians, Crimean Khanate Tatars, Mongols, and even Genoese in Italy, and they were the source of their slaves.

Georgian slaves and Caucasian slaves were some of the most popular slaves on the market.

The man is tall and strong. He is the best labor force and the best war slave. He is loved by the Ottoman Sultan.

The woman is fair and beautiful, tall, graceful, and docile, and has always been the favorite of Middle Eastern nobles and tribal leaders.

Their history is a history of being robbed, looted, and humiliated.

Neighbors from all directions can come and bully them. Their homeland is the grassy valley of the Mongols, Turks, and Tatars, and it is a place where Persians, Turkmens, and Arabs find their confidence.

Under such a long history, their lives have always been very turbulent and restless, and they often have to resist the invasion and plunder of foreign enemies.

It wasn't until the Ming Empire incorporated this land into its territory, and the Son of Heaven began to protect the people on this land, that they began to truly live a happy, stable, and prosperous life.

Thanks to its location at the transit point of east-west trade, the rapid development of capitalism and colonialism in the Ming Empire, as well as the advancement of technology and industry.

The speed of development here in Nanyun Province is astonishing. The construction of trains, roads, and urban planning have also brought a lot of employment to local people.

The lives of the original locals in Nanyun Province have undergone tremendous changes rapidly.

Now more than ten years have passed, Nanyun Province is no longer the original Caucasus region, and the Caucasus Mountains have been renamed Nanyun Mountains.

The life of the local people is very rich, stable, and comfortable. People like their current life, and they are also grateful to the Son of Heaven for actively integrating into this great empire.

This is something that these local Slavs in Heitu Province can't understand now, especially for old Slav nobles like Chen Peter, it is a bit difficult for him to understand Li Xiangdong, Yun Tiantian and the others.

However, when he came to the capital, Peter Chen could feel the prosperity, prosperity and excitement of the Ming capital.

In addition, here in Daming capital, even though it was only a short time since he arrived here, Peter Chen could tell.

The capital of Daming is very clean. You can hardly see any garbage on the roads. You can see some trash cans everywhere in the streets and alleys, and you can also see some elderly people cleaning the streets.

This alone has blown up European cities.

The Moscow city in my memory, when I followed my father to the city to play, the whole city was extremely dirty, chaotic, and disorderly, and all kinds of indescribable smells filled the streets and alleys.

Looking at the capital city of Daming now, the streets are clean and tidy, the roads are spacious and straight, and the air is very good. The key is that you can see a lot of trees planted on both sides of the roads, which are full of shade.

The Daming people on the street are all well-dressed, clean and tidy, and have a very good mental outlook. This is something that people in Moscow City did not have before.

Compared with the imperial capital of Ming Dynasty, Moscow City is like a stinky sewer, without any comparison.

Of course, the current city of Meaux is also undergoing reconstruction, widening roads, building tap water and sewage systems, and at the same time making corresponding requirements for all residents, and the environment has also changed a lot.

Daming people seem to have magical powers, they can always make a place more and more beautiful.

In addition, the prosperity and prosperity of the capital also left a deep impression on Peter Chen.

On the way to the hotel in a rickshaw, Peter Chen also carefully observed the situation on both sides of the road.

There are many high-rise buildings, ten-, twenty-, thirty-story high-rise buildings can be seen everywhere. When you look at it at first glance, it seems that all of them are composed of such high-rise buildings.

There are a lot of expensive cars, and cars worth several thousand taels are very rare in Mo City. Only those really rich Ming people can afford to drive them.

But here, cars seem to have become extremely ordinary. There are so many cars on the road that the road seems a bit congested.

As for bicycles and motorcycles, they are even more common. Yanran has become something that everyone owns, and there are mighty bicycles and motorcycles on the wide roads.

Bicycles and motorcycles are not cheap, but here, they are just ordinary means of transportation, and the number and rate of ownership are very high.

The businesses on both sides of the road are extremely prosperous. There are a variety of shops selling products from all over the world. There are many things that Peter Chen has never even heard of, let alone read them.

Then look at these Ming students around you. People discuss all kinds of content, from the Four Books and Five Classics of traditional Confucianism to current affairs and politics, and to anecdotes from all over the world. These students themselves come from all over the world, and naturally they also bring Things and things from all over the world.

Here, a dark-skinned student from the Nanyang region is bragging about the types of fruits in his hometown, such as durian, mangosteen, jackfruit, coconut and so on.

There are also students from Huangjinzhou, telling about the vastness and magic of the mainland of Jinzhou, boasting that there are more than a dozen gold mines and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in Huangjinzhou in their home.

A student from Ningguo, the feudal kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, boasted about the prosperity and excitement of the Tianzhu Continent. He told everyone about the caste system of Ningguo, and proudly told everyone that we Ming people are the highest caste. A person can't step on his own shadow when he walks, otherwise it is a felony.

There are also students from Australia, who are telling you about the vast grasslands of Australia, about some magical animals on the Australian mainland, kangaroos that use pockets to raise children, and give you a taste of kangaroo jerky. It is said that it also has the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing yang.

Chen Peter didn't know if it worked or not. Anyway, he was too hot. The kangaroo jerky tasted too strong, so he had to use chili to cover it up, otherwise it would be hard to eat.

There are also students from the prairie who tell about the glorious history of their Mongolian ancestors. They tell everyone about the life of thousands of horses galloping on the prairie, riding a horse and archery and eating roasted whole sheep. They also warmly invite everyone to go after the imperial examination if they are free. Have fun on the grassland, please eat roasted whole lamb.

The students in front of him came from all corners of the country. Everyone told each other about their hometown, which also opened Chen Peter's eyes.

In the past, although I read the newspapers, I could understand some things, but how can the reports in the newspapers be so credible as what the locals themselves said.

For example, this Golden Continent is full of gold, but the students from the Golden Continent tell everyone that this is pure nonsense. Although there is indeed a lot of gold in the Golden Continent, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is gold everywhere.

"Brother Chen, you are from Heitu Province, can you tell us something about Heitu Province?"

Someone looked at Peter Chen, wanting to hear what Peter Chen had to say about Heitu Province. This Heitu Province had only been ruled by Ming Dynasty for a few years, and everyone was very curious about everything in Heitu Province, so they looked over in unison. .
