Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2124, Zhengde First Year Commemorative Edition
The enthronement ceremony of Emperor Zhengde was held with great grandeur. This was the most important event in the Ming Dynasty in recent decades. Careful preparations were made in every aspect, and it was also very successful.

After the grand ceremony was completed, the envoys from various countries were also preparing to return.

Coming to Daming this time, everyone has opened their eyes and truly seen the prosperity, wealth and vastness of the Ming Empire. The only slight regret is that the Daming Empire is really too stingy.

Everyone worked so hard to present all kinds of gold, silver and jewels. This return gift from the Ming Empire is really too shabby. There is really only one photo. Many people are worrying about how to go back and do business for their monarch. Woolen cloth.

"it is finally over!"

"Despite the arrangement, let's set off to go back."

Ferdinand didn't want to stay with Daming for a moment anymore. Although he lived here comfortably, he still wanted to go back to Austria as soon as possible, because here, he didn't feel the slightest respect as a nobleman. ,hapiness.

And for the people of the Ming Dynasty, although he recognized the strength and wealth of the Ming Empire, he also felt that the Ming Empire was really stingy. The gift he brought to the Emperor of the Ming Empire this time was worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Here, there is not even a decent gift in return.

Thinking about it makes people feel that Da Tianzi is really stingy, stingy to the bottom of his head.

Anyway, this is to send some tea, silk and porcelain to everyone, and it's not like to let everyone go back empty-handed.

It wasn't just Ferdinand who complained about Ming's stinginess, Ibrahim, who was in charge of the Ottoman Empire, also felt that the Ming Empire was a bit stingy at this time, and it was really inappropriate for everyone to go back empty-handed.

"This Daming man is really stingy!"

"All the things for the enthronement ceremony have been completed. I thought they would give us some gifts in return. I didn't expect that there is no news until now."

Ibrahim shook his head slightly and said to the people around him: "It's still a state of etiquette. From this point alone, Daming seems too stingy."

"Isn't it? It's not just us who say that, but many envoys also say that."

"Just returned a photo of us, which is too stingy."

"But there is no way, who made the Ming Empire so powerful, even if it is stingy, everyone dare not say it."

Everyone complained about the stinginess and stinginess of the Ming Empire.

At this moment, Liu Jin, Wang Shouren, and Yang Yiqing came out with smiles and stood in front of everyone and said.

"Everyone, everyone has come from afar, our Daming has a lot of poor hospitality, please bear with me!"

"I'm very pleased with the enthronement of the son of Ming Dynasty. You have traveled thousands of miles with blessings and gifts from the monarchs of various countries. I, of course, will not let everyone go in vain."

Liu Jin glanced around and could see the disappointed expressions on the faces of these people. This time they were indeed a bit stingy, and Zhu Houzhao became more stingy as he got richer.

"Our Daming side has already arranged a lot of return gifts outside the palace. When you come from various countries and places, you can go to get a set and take it back. It's a small thought. I hope everyone will not dislike it, and I hope the monarchs of all countries will like it! "

After Liu Jin finished speaking, he also took the lead and walked outside.

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately became energetic. The Ming Empire really respects etiquette, and it will not disappoint everyone, and there is still a way to return the courtesy.

Everyone quickened their pace, followed Liu Jin's pace and walked towards the outside of the palace, wanting to see what kind of gift Daming had prepared for everyone.

Soon, everyone followed to the outside of the palace. As soon as they left the palace gate, everyone's eyes widened slightly, because cars, motorcycles, bicycles, etc. were neatly parked in the big square in front of them. And so on a lot of goods.

There are many kinds of these goods, and they are neatly placed in piles. There is no doubt that these goods must be the return gift of the Ming Empire.

After everyone came out, Liu Jin said with a smile, "In order to thank all countries for their blessings, we at Ming Dynasty have also prepared a small gift to give back to everyone."

"First of all, it is a high-end car produced by the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory. This car is specially designed and custom-made. It is a commemorative car for the first year of Zhengde. It is limited to [-] cars!"

"Each car has a unique design and number. This is a gift from our great emperor to the monarchs and governors of all countries and places."

"This is the motorcycle and bicycle produced by our Ming Dynasty. It is also a special customized version of the motorcycle and bicycle. The commemorative edition of the first year of Zhengde, the global production is limited to 1000. It is also a gift from our Ming Dynasty to the monarchs and governors of various countries."

"This is a watch and pocket watch specially designed and produced by our Daming Royal Watch Factory. It is inlaid with a large number of diamonds. It is named King's Landing. It is also a limited edition, with a global limit of 1000 pieces. It is also given to the monarchs and governors of various countries. "

"Of course, there are also several Guoshi Wushuang watches and pocket watches here, which are given to all the envoys present. Everyone has a share. Although it is not a limited edition, such a Guoshi Wushuang watch is on our Daming side. The selling price is also more than 1000 taels of silver, which can be regarded as a little sympathy from our Da Mingzi for everyone’s hard work, I hope you don’t dislike it.”

Liu Jin pointed to the cars, motorcycles, and bicycles behind him and introduced them in detail.

Although the things are all industrial products, the car is obviously very important, it looks very big, and there are motorcycles, bicycles and so on.

Of course, it costs some money to sell in the market, but it is an industrial product, and it can be produced continuously, so it is not precious, so it is very suitable to give it as a gift.

On the one hand, there is no loss of face, and on the other hand, these industrial products can still be promoted, so that everyone can see Daming's excellent industrial products and strength.

Everyone listened carefully and looked at the cars. This Mercedes-Benz car seemed to be a little different from the previous cars. It was a bit similar to the SUV cars of later generations. It is also a blue that symbolizes noble status specially tuned out by using the latest chemical technology.

Many people may think that there is no dignity in blue?

That's because the chemical technology of later generations is extremely advanced and developed, and various colors can be easily produced, but in ancient times, when the chemical technology was backward, many colors could not be produced at all.
The most expensive of these colors is blue!
There was only one source of blue in ancient times, and that was to use lapis lazuli, which was more expensive than gold, to grind it into powder, and only after repeated screening could the blue dye be obtained.

This kind of blue fuel is many times more expensive than gold, and ordinary painters can't afford it at all, and those who can afford it are reluctant to use it casually. They are only willing to use it when painting the most important paintings and the most important parts.

Like European medieval and Renaissance paintings, this expensive blue dye is only used when painting the Madonna, so it is also called Madonna Blue.

The same is true in the East, the stone blue clothes are definitely the most expensive clothes, more expensive than the bright yellow used by emperors, and no matter in the East or the West, blue symbolizes nobility and wealth, because it is really scarce and the price is high. Extremely expensive.

Now looking at this Mercedes Benz with blue exterior paint, not only the eyes of many envoys are shining, but also the eyes of many Ming officials around are shining.

This blue car looks very pleasing, noble and extraordinary, and I will try to find a way to see if I can buy one from the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory.

"This is a precious sword presented to the monarchs and governors of various countries by our Son of Heaven. It is forged from the rarest metal, and it can cut iron like mud."

Liu Jin took out a precious sword and introduced it with a smile.

Daming's current iron and steel smelting technology and processes have become more and more mature. Not only has the output been greatly increased, the key is that all kinds of steel can be smelted, and various famous forging processes around the world are gradually being studied. After coming out, the various knives, steel, etc. produced by this production are getting more and more powerful.

Of course, everything about swords and swords has been eliminated and outdated, mainly gun barrels, gun barrels, and special steel parts required by various industrial machinery.

Forging a batch of precious knives is a trivial matter for Daming Iron and Steel Works. It was done easily, and some gems, gold, etc. will be inlaid for you as accessories.

"This is a phonograph, and it was also given to the monarchs and governors of various countries. In addition, some of our plays, song scenes, and the recorded voices of this enthronement ceremony are also provided for everyone."

This can be regarded as the earliest cultural export. Ming songs, dramas, poems, songs, etc. will be accompanied by the continuous export of the powerful Ming Empire, and will naturally be accompanied by the export of culture, values, ideas, etc.

"This is a camera, and there are instructions for how to use it. You can go back and study it carefully before using it."

"This is a hand-cranked generator, a set of lamps, wires and so on. After everyone goes back, they only need to assemble them simply, and then let people shake them constantly. The generator can generate electricity continuously, and then these lamps can become brighter."

Electricity is now one of Daming’s key export products. This time, Daming Electric Firm is also very careful, fully considering that many parts of the world still do not have electricity, and also specially designed such a set of power generation devices and lights. Naturally, it is to let people all over the world feel the light of electric lights.

After that, I casually bought some power generation equipment, electric lights, etc., and that was a large sum of money.
