Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2122, Da Mingzi is too stingy
"It's finally time to see someone else, this emperor is really tiring!"

When Ferdinand was sent away, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help rubbing his waist. Being an emperor is not so easy.

The people waiting to see him were impatient, and it was very difficult for him, the emperor, to maintain the appearance of an emperor while sitting on the hard dragon chair.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao knew about this a long time ago. In fact, he didn't like being an emperor very much, and he didn't have any special enthusiasm for being an emperor.

It's just that there is no way, this emperor deserves to be inappropriate, who made him only have a cheap emperor Lao Tzu.

"Go, go!"

"Take a picture, take a picture."

"After the filming, everyone hurriedly dispersed, and everyone was exhausted."

Zhu Houzhao walked down the steps and took the lead towards Taihe Square.

The ministers are actually already tired, they have been standing for a whole day, they also haven't got a drop of water, their legs are already numb from standing, their stomachs are already growling, and they wish they could get down and take a rest earlier.

Here in Taihe Square, many envoys are still waiting at this time, because they have been notified that the emperor will take a photo with them next day.

Soon, the group of ministers came to Taihe Square, the civil and military ministers stood at the two dragon steps, Zhu Houzhao stood in the middle, and Liu Jin and Wang Shouren were beside him. The other ministers also stood according to their ranks and positions.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

As the photographer called out the countdown, and with the flickering of bright lights, a group photo of Emperor Zhengde and his ministers outside the Golden Luan Hall was taken.

Next, the vassal states, colonies, vassal states, and foreign envoys who came to participate in the pilgrimage came to take a group photo together. It was still the same as before, lined up on both sides, and hundreds of people stood and took pictures.

The group photo has just been taken here, and the group photo of Emperor Zhengde and his ministers over there has also been washed out.

"Well, good, good!"

Looking at the developed photo, Zhu Houzhao nodded in satisfaction and said, "This photo is probably the first photo of the emperor and his ministers together since ancient times."

"Looking back, we can build an exhibition hall or something to collect some historical things for exhibition, publicize and publicize to the common people."

"This must be the first photo in history of the emperor and his officials."

"Your Majesty, your suggestion is very good. In my opinion, we can put together the treasures that everyone paid tribute this time, and build a Royal Museum of the Ming Dynasty for exhibition, so that everyone can see the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty when all nations came to court!"

Liu Jin thought about it and said quickly.

The proposal of the museum is very good. It is very meaningful to use the museum to collect and record some precious treasures and cultural relics, so that future generations can see things decades or hundreds of years ago.

"The Royal Museum of Ming Dynasty?"

"Okay, okay, let's arrange it later and put some precious things in it."

"Hey, collecting tickets from now on will be a good income!"

When Zhu Houzhao heard it, his small eyes lit up, and then he nodded in agreement.

"."

When the officials on the side heard it, they were immediately speechless.

Feelings, you are here to collect tickets, are you still short of that ticket money?
"This photo has been developed and produced, and each minister will send one."

Here, Zhu Houzhao is also constantly ordering, photos, since there is a group photo, everyone has a share, and everyone must have one.

"Yes!"

Liu Da, who followed beside him, nodded quickly.

But I was thinking in my heart, compared with this camera, it must be able to quickly become popular all over the world. With the product endorsed by Da Tianzi himself, how can it not be popular?

What's more, this camera is indeed very good, and it can quickly record the desired picture, which is still very, very useful.

The order of the emperor was issued, and the efficiency of the photographer team was very high. Soon, the photos were washed out one by one. The officials took the photos respectfully, carefully looked for their own positions on the photos, and then looked other people in the photo.

"This camera is really amazing!"

"Yeah, it's really rare to have everyone painted in such a short period of time, and in such detail."

"Looking back, I also bought a camera to bring home. When the family is reunited, it is also very good for the family to take a group photo as a souvenir."

"Isn't it? It would be better if this had color."

The ministers kept discussing.

The photo of Emperor Zhengde and the envoys from various countries has also been washed out here, and many copies have also been washed, one for each ambassador who came to participate.

"Ahem, our Daming has nothing to give back to you. This photo should be regarded as a gift from our Daming. You should take good care of it."

Zhu Houzhao looked at the photo, and then looked at the envoys from various countries in Taihe Square, and said directly with an old face.

"."

When everyone heard this, they were immediately speechless.

Compared with his father, Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao's shameless kung fu is as pure as fire.

Everyone worked so hard to come to see us, and gave generous congratulatory gifts, but you are lucky, you just sent everyone away with a single photo, which is too sorry for the status of the Ming Empire.

"Haha~"

Zhu Hou looked at everyone's ugly faces, and immediately smiled even more happily.

Just kidding, who am I, I will never trade at a loss.

Zhu Houzhao went back to his palace happily.

He was already hungry. Of course, looking at the sky now, it seemed that it was almost dark.

Although looking at the big clock on the side of the palace clock tower, it seems that it is only after three o'clock, but it is only February now, and the sky is getting late and earlier.

It seems that it is not too much for me to go back early, have a good rest, have a delicious meal, and then take care of those beauties who came from afar.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao walked a little faster.

Emperor Zhengde left, and the ministers and many envoys also began to leave the palace one after another.

At the end of the day, everyone was exhausted.

After standing for a day and starving for a day, many senior ministers could not take it anymore, and hurriedly left one by one, got into their own cars and went home to have a good rest.

"Didn't this Ming Dynasty be said to be a state of etiquette?"

"This is too stingy, and you can send us away with just one photo?"

Ferdinand's face at this time was not in a good mood.

She worked so hard to come to the Ming Empire to propose marriage, but she was immediately despised.

At any rate, he is also a son of the distinguished Habsburg family and heir to several duchies.

However, all of this is nothing in the eyes of Daming people. His self-proclaimed noble status is worthless in the eyes of Daming people, as well as his noble blood that he has always been proud of.

In the eyes of Daming people, it turned out to be ridiculous. Even though Daming people didn't smile at him, he could still clearly feel that Daming people were laughing at him, at his appearance, at his big chin.

So he is very upset now. Not only did he fail to achieve his goal when he came to Daming, but he was also laughed at. The key is that the Habsburg family carefully prepared a generous gift this time.

The Daming man accepted the gift, but he only returned a photo, which made him feel that the Daming man was really stingy.

"But don't say that."

"Although this photo is not worth much, because there is a photo of Da Mingzi and everyone on it, so it is priceless in itself."

"Looking at the vassal states of Ming Dynasty, everyone is very excited. It is a great honor to get a photo of the son of Ming Dynasty."

The translator Karl beside him hurriedly reminded him in a low voice.

He is a master of the Ming Dynasty, and he knows the affairs of the Ming Dynasty. In many cases, the symbolic meaning is much more precious than the substantive one, and it is more important in the eyes of the people of Ming Dynasty.

Of course, he didn't expect that Da Tianzi was so stingy this time, that he didn't get any rebates.

According to Daming's past rules, there will definitely be a reward this time, and the people of Daming are very hospitable, and they will treat guests who come from afar well.

If this guest gave a gift, he would definitely return it generously.

In the past, the tributes paid by the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty were not worth much, but the Ming Dynasty often returned gifts very generously, so that it caused financial difficulties for a time, and had to allow these vassal states to pay tribute only once in a few years.

Later, the Ming Empire modified the relevant tribute system, and the rebate was greatly reduced, but it would not be less, and it still had to maintain the face of the Ming Empire.

But this new emperor, really thick-skinned, even said that a photo sent everyone away.

"You can't eat or drink this photo, what's the use?"

Ferdinand looked at the photo and couldn't help shaking his head.

If I had known earlier that I would not have come to Daming, I would have gained nothing from the hard work of coming here, that is, I had come to see the world, and nothing else.

At this moment, Ferdinand is certainly not the only one who thinks Daming is stingy.

"This Emperor Ming is too stingy, he just sent us a photo!"

Duke Hans of England couldn't help complaining. He spoke English, thinking that the people around him couldn't understand, but Liu Jin who was not far away heard it.

Before crossing, Liu Jin had learned English for many years. Although his level was limited, he could still understand ordinary words, and he also heard the complaints of Duke Hans.

"It seems that it is really rude to give back photos, and it does not match the identity of our Ming Empire."

Liu Jin pondered.

Reciprocation must be a return, but this return is also very particular.

According to the tradition of later generations, generally this return gift is to pay attention to some characteristics of the country, and even to promote the development of some industries in the country.

For example, in later generations we like to send porcelain, silk, etc., while some industrial countries like to send some industrial products.

"Have it!"

Thinking of this, Liu Jin immediately smiled.
