"The edict of the king of Han said: The weight of the second prince, the style is solid, there is a good yuan, and the kingdom is chaste. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"The soldiers and horses are the governor of Nanjing, who stayed behind to guard Lu Gongming, and the quality of the instrument is far away, and the day is heroic. Wang traces the beginning of the foundation, the establishment of the business, the difficulties of the war, the conquest is not ............, the intention is far away, the government and the opposition are foresighted, it is advisable to take the tripod industry, and allow the guard. He can be made the crown prince. It is located in the East Palace, with the unity of 10,000 years, and the heart of the four seas. ”

"Announce to the world, and make the salt hear."

Chen Mingren had just returned to Lushan, and Robert, Perrier, Rotoni and others had just seen Chen Ming's unparalleled prestige among the Chen Han people. In the cold winter wax moon, on the road from Nanyang to Lushan, tens of thousands of ordinary people braved the severe cold and strong wind, helped the old and the young to rush to both sides of the avenue, and bowed to Chen Ming's guard of honor again and again!

The people's hearts are easy to move, and the people's hearts are easy to deceive. But the Taizu of the Red Dynasty said: The eyes of the masses are bright, but there is also some truth.

Hit Xiangyang to the north into Nanyang, this is the most fundamental territory of the Han Army, Nanyang to Ruzhou, millions of people have lived quite comfortably in the past few years, although there is a lack of salt and cloth in the middle, but compared to the Manchu Dynasty, they at least do not worry about food. What is this for? They don't need to be guided, they know why.

They can live a good life, all they rely on is Chen Ming's expedition to the south and the north outside!

It was Chen Ming who commanded the glorious victories of the Han army on the battlefield, which gave the Manchus a greater threat to the south of the Yangtze River and in northern Jiangsu, so that Beijing had to focus on the east, and the southwest of Henan gradually moved away from the war. Let them completely break away from the days of precariousness and trembling.

When Chen Ming returned to Lushan with a guard of honor this time, the endless stream of people on both sides of the road shocked Robert, Perrier and others, and at the same time, their confidence in Chen Han also greatly increased. They saw the support of the people, and Chen Han, who had the support of tens of thousands of people, was very able to give confidence and strength.

On the eighth day of December, the edict of Han King Chen Hui canonizing Chen Ming as the crown prince was officially released. These people have experienced a carnival that belongs to the Chinese.

There were no masquerade balls, float parades, etc., just ordinary people crowded the narrow road in front of the palace and kowtowed to the small palace, and some were just firecrackers that rang out day and night, and fireworks that kept blooming in the air.

Of course, in the small city of Lushan, there are many kinds of banquets, but Robert and the others can only enter the banquet of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Even the industrial and commercial bureau held a palace feast in the royal palace, and only a few people are qualified to participate. The Han Palace's palace is too small, and the banquet can't be held even if it wants to be big.

Although Chen Ming didn't feel anything uncontrollable excited about this, he had already regarded this position as his own in his heart. But this is a great joy after all, and the unhappiness accumulated in Chen Ming's heart because of the Hunan incident has disappeared a lot.

After today, he will be Chen Han's rightful heir.

Chen Ming knew what his father was still thinking about, and he also knew that he had a little sister and a little brother in a row, and when he returned to Lushan this time, the gifts of the male and female babies were all prepared rigorously. But today, on this happy day, he didn't say it, and Chen Ming was happy to be ignorant.

"Your Highness, don't have a grudge against the king. This is purely a fatherly heart, and there is no other intention. ”

When he first arrived in Lushan, Chen Ming's second uncle Chen Cong led the ministers to welcome Chen Ming, and said this to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming immediately laughed. He won't be separated from Chen Huisheng because of this little thing. Chen Ming believes that his father's brain, Chen Hui is definitely not a brainless person, if Chen Gang returns to his ancestors from the perspective of rights, it is very, very hurtful, and it is also a huge hidden danger for the Chen family's 'country';

Anyway, Chen Hui definitely didn't know his son's grand wishes, and when the time came, Chen Gang would really disgust him, and kick Chen Gang out of tens of thousands of miles, which was also a matter of Chen Ming's words. It's also a beautiful name - overseas feudal country!

The world is big! It is necessary to take advantage of the last opportunity before the age of steam completely descends, and take China's footsteps far out of the Far East, a place where the eternal wandering, on the other side of the ocean, is full of 'ownerless' fertile soil!

The swords and guns in the hands of the Fu Han army, the warships shuttling across the ocean in the future, will use their strength to open up the foundation for China for eternity.

Chen Hui has been thinking about a few thrones, a few dukes, and a lot of money about titles in Chen Ming's letters several times, but Chen Ming doesn't care much about this. In the future Americas, how many kingdoms, princes, principalities, and kingdoms will not be able to let go?

In this era when there was no telegraph, Chen Ming did not expect any strong and effective control over the Americas. Although his ambition is that China's control area will be very, very large, eating and digesting are completely different concepts. In his lifetime, it is rare for China to be able to truly digest Southeast Asia.

America, it's better to seal it out. Just keep Australia as your own land.

Let those heroes and nobles work hard to strangle the local natives and squeeze the living space of the native white people little by little.

China's ambitions in North and South America, if Chen Ming's ambition are truly realized before he takes his last breath, will retain at most a few important points along the coastline and then hold on to the uninhabited northern part of North America, including Alaska.

and the rest shall be rich to every man. What their future fate will be, Chen Ming doesn't want to care. He did not have the political capacity to settle the feuds that were destined to arise in the future. Anyway, it's all a Chinese country, so let's fight. The meat rots in their own pots, and it is all Chinese.

……

Robert's entourage was divided into two ways, and the Portuguese, represented by Rotony, lived in two rows of houses that Chen Han had already arranged. The location is in the southeast corner of Lushan County. It is very close to the foreign language institute that is still being prepared.

Robert, Perrier, Lustig of Sweden, Dyquelmar of the Netherlands, and Luis Paul Ribeiro, the Portuguese representative, as well as several Jesuit priests and their attendants, gathered a total of about 30 people and stayed in Chen Han's state guesthouse.

The State Guesthouse is entirely Chinese-style, but there is also a bit of post-modern style incorporated here. For example, flush toilets, bathrooms, sinks, running water, and full-length mirrors. The change wasn't much, so it didn't cause any opposition.

On the contrary, after seeing the convenience of tap water, many Chen Han magnates have expressed their intention to come with a set of them. But in this way, the amount of work will be greatly increased. Moreover, the state guesthouse is not only equipped with running water, but also has a bathroom, a flush toilet, and a matching sewer.

The ancient Chinese technology tree did not have the skill of lighting tap water. But in fact, this thing is not a difficult technology. As for how to supply water to the water tower, in the era when the steam engine was not introduced to China, this problem could also be solved by the method of animal power and siphon drainage. Then connect the small copper pipe to the large tin pipe, and then add the most old-fashioned faucet in Chen Ming's mind - cognition - tap water is formed.

The magnates of Lushan made a fuss for a while and then died down. Because everyone knows that they have not been in Lushan for a long time.

Or next year, or the year after, they're definitely going to move.

The small county government converted into the Han Palace, which made Chen Hui more and more dissatisfied. With the increase of the harem and the increase of children, the small Han palace is becoming more and more insufficient.

Human desires and pursuits are always unlimited.

When you don't have money, a million is the wealth you dream of. I feel that as long as I have a million, I can do everything without worry. However, the truth is that when you have a million in your hand, you will still have five million, ten million in the alley; When you have 100 million, you will still think about 1 billion, 10 billion.

Desires are endless. Looking up at the mountains from the base of the mountain, the highest point you can see at the bottom of the mountain is far from impressive. Chen Hui is like this, when he called the general, he did not have the idea of being addicted to death and having no regrets. When he changed from a general to a king of Han, his goal was already aimed at the princes of a place; When the entire southern kingdom gradually fell into the palm of his hand, Chen Hui not only pursued the whole world, but also thought that there was no danger of 'rising and disappearing' again.

The fate of the entire family, Chen Hui's burden on his shoulders was lifted, and his eyes were undoubtedly divided into personal pleasures. Moreover, there are political considerations, and Chen Hanqian is inevitable in the near future.

And if he has to move soon, it seems that Lushan's house is not worth moving.

Robert: After they came to Lushan, they didn't feel uncomfortable, and they didn't feel that Lushan was dirty. Compared with Paris and London in the same period, the Lushan people, who have been tossed by Chen Ming's "Code of Conduct for Urban Civility" for two or three years, have long been unable to defecate on the corner of the street and dump garbage and sewage everywhere at the door.

In ancient China, there was no 'sewer', if you don't believe it, go to the old city of Ganzhou, which is known as 900 years without flooding. However, in ancient Chinese cities, there were more large and small drainage canals and drainage ditches - open ditches.

Clean and tidy streets, paved entirely of stone or cement, with public toilets, and orderly traffic from left to right.

As soon as they arrived at Lushan, Robert, they felt a different smell from the previous city.

Lushan, the capital of Chen Han, was also the first experimental site for many of Chen Han's new policies.

Compared with the European cities of the same era, which were almost all dirt roads, and the roads were littered with all kinds of garbage, feces, sewage, and even corpses, and the crowd on the streets was full of sick and disabled beggars, and the vagabonds who stole and extorted, Lushan, a small county town, had a completely different feeling.

At least here you don't see a single beggar. Boy Scouts and labor camps are no joke.

There are also public carriages here.

Of course, there are also public carriages in Europe. More than 100 years ago, the French mathematician Pascal first conceived the idea of reducing the cost of riding by providing a public carriage service that operated on a fixed route. He adopted the design of a complete version of the stagecoach carriage, which could accommodate a total of 12 people including the driver, and could get on and off the bus on the way. He obtained a license to operate from the King of France and provided five such lines in Paris. However, his public carriage service collapsed after less than two years of operation, partly because Pascal himself died at the age of 39, but also because of the new type of service in the high-end market in the face of stiff competition from rental carriages.

Chen Ming did not know that fixed-line public transportation in the true sense of the word did not appear in Europe until the 19th century.

In China, a country where many places have never seen four-wheeled carriages, Lushan has seen buses early.

In China's Song Dynasty, there was a road guide to take a bus at the post station, but it was different from a bus in the real sense. The kind of carriage that Chen Ming created can carry twelve passengers, up and down two floors, and is pulled by four horses. There are special stops, there is a fixed time to depart, you can not get on and off at will on the way, except that the means of transportation are different, it is completely a copy of modern public transportation.

"Chen Han, the rebel junta of the Tatars, is governing this vast and ancient and rich country with a very different philosophy from the Tatars. There are many rules of urban management that are worth learning from and studying. I really hope that one day Paris will be as clean and tidy as Lushan. ”

"God bless France, be so clean, orderly and hygienic. In that case, even if I die, I will smile and see God. ”

"That's how it works, right? That's how the Chinese idiom is used, right? Can you die without worries or worries and leave with a smile? ”

In front of Robert and David, Perrier praised Lushan in an aria tone.

"Oh, Paris is so dirty. It's so dirty. "Severely belittled the hygiene of Paris. [It was only after a large-scale cholera outbreak in Paris in the mid-19th century that the French government began to build an underground drainage system. London followed France closely behind and also built a huge underground drainage project. It's just that it's clear that there is no neatness, cleanliness of Paris. 】

Perrier's loud complaints to Robert and David Ostermann were not intended to discredit Paris, a time when Parisians were discharging dirty water and feces into the Seine, and then from the Seine for drinking water. It's strange to be hygienic!

After the 19th century in the Western calendar, France's industry began to flourish, and it is conceivable that the water of the Seine River will become dirtier, and the population of Paris will be growing rapidly, so it is no wonder that a large-scale cholera outbreak will occur in the middle of the next century.

Robert frowned, London is the nest of the British East India Company, although he is not from London, how can he not be familiar with the 'cityscape' of London. In addition to the fact that London has a larger population than Paris, it is not much better than Paris in terms of appearance.

Every day there are at least a thousand horse-drawn carriages waiting to be rented out throughout London, and in London's poor traffic, these carriages are not fast, perhaps only a little faster than a person can walk on two legs. A horse-drawn carriage rents for a day that is almost equal to the cost of an average family for the whole day, but they are still doing a thriving business. So why? That is, the hygiene in London is so bad, full of beggars and poor ghosts, and the city is too unsafe.

So some wealthy families, especially ladies, had to need horse-drawn carriages to travel.

"Monsieur Perrier, don't you feel that Lushan is too small? The same measures applied in a large city like London and in a small city such as Lushan have completely different effects. Robert looked at Perrière in front of him with absolute pride. Population, the population of London is completely the first advantage over Paris, which is now close to a million people, and Paris is only half of it. Lushan is a small city compared to Paris, and Paris is not a big city compared to London, although few people in Europe think of Paris as underground than London, "God can prove that I am sincere, and not for meaningless vanity." ”

Robert walked out of the hall with his head held high, and he returned to his room, then sat down in the chair in front of his desk, stunned. He had a lot on his head, England, France, China......

The Chinese craze that arose in Europe in the 16th and 18th centuries first disappeared from England in the late 18th century.

In 1742, British Admiral Anson's "Travels Around the World" was published, followed by "On the Spirit of Law" by the French philosopher Montesquieu. Anson's description of a poor and depraved China in "Travels Around the World", and Montesquieu's analysis of a China ruled by "terror and tyranny" in "On the Spirit of the Law" have greatly changed the impression of Western people on Chinese civilization.

Of course, in the French royal family at this moment, the Chinese fever is still in full swing, and silk and fine porcelain from China, as well as handicrafts, are still sought after and loved by Louis XV and his court nobles. As for Montesquieu, who also belonged to France, does anyone still not know what his position is?

If the enemy says 'no', the royal family needs to say 'yes' even more!

In the minds of many supporters of the Bourbon royal family, the appearance of these two books is like a mouse poop falling in a delicious broth, which makes people sick.

So Perrier lamented Rouxan with praise, because he was also supported by the Bourbon royal family. And Robert was mercilessly belittled, because the contradictions between Britain and France were still very acute.

At this moment, the British Empire did not have the slightest intention of occupying and encroaching on the vast ancient China, but his intuition told Robert:

"This is a completely different government from the Qing Empire. South China is thriving under the rule of the rebels, and the changes that are taking place here will surely have a profound impact on the empire in the near future, because of our close and necessary economic and trade ties with China. Any change that takes place in China will have a profound impact on the British Empire, and thus on the entire Western civilized world......" (To be continued. )
