"Is this fate?"
Zhu Xianhai naturally agreed very much with Yin Lisabai's suggestion. Even he himself had the idea of building a library.
——Put all the books in the mall into the library.
Just where should this library be built?
First of all, this library must not be built in the outside world. It must be built in the palace. Only if it is built in the palace can it be ensured that it is difficult for the outside world to obtain books that are almost half a century ahead of the world.
Of course, the management of that library in the future will still need to be improved in all aspects, but now, the first thing that needs to be considered is where to build it.
There is definitely no room in the current palace. This simple palace is only temporary, even the Yingtian Mansion.
"It's time to consider plans to build a new capital!"
The reason why Emperor Zhu Da felt that this was fate was exactly the same. Once upon a time, he was not very enthusiastic about building a new capital. Even now that Asunción has been merged into the Ming Dynasty, so what?
In Emperor Zhu Da's mind, Asunción was not necessarily the best choice.
There are more great options – Brasilia!
The city built on the Brazilian plateau has a mild and pleasant climate, with an average annual temperature of no more than ten degrees. In this era without air conditioning, such weather is simply a summer resort, and it is the kind that lasts all year round.
Moreover, it is located in the hinterland. As a huge empire that will own the entire continent in the future, there is no problem in setting the capital in the center.
As for being close to the ocean, is it really that important?
"Brasilia...is still in Brazil's hands!"
Emperor Zhu Da was a little depressed. How could his capital be held in the hands of others?
Yes, we still have to fight!
But the most important thing right now is internal treatment!
After all, four years... Ming Dynasty only had four years to prepare for another feast!
Staring at the river in the distance, Emperor Zhu Da's eyes became more and more profound...
…
In March 1873, the Ming Empire moved almost unstoppably towards war.
However, for ordinary people, they are still immersed in this peaceful and prosperous age.
Indeed, for the Chinese people who came to the Ming Dynasty from their homeland of China, which was full of wars and famines, the Ming Dynasty was the legendary "Peachland", whether in the mainland or in the colonies.
In fact, at all times and in all over the world, literati and scholars will invent a "Peachland" and an "Utopia" for themselves based on the so-called "history".
When Jesus was preaching, he told Christians that there was a "Garden of Paradise" in the world. Well, it was heaven, and you could only go there after you died.
Plato used "Utopia" to describe the ideal place in his mind that a living person could go to.
Correspondingly, the Chinese sages of the past dynasties imagined the "Government of the Three Dynasties" in which the people were simple and the rituals and music were king. When the imaginary paradise of kings was constantly defeated by reality, they also imagined a "peachland" to escape from the world.
In short, all imaginations can be summed up in a few simple sentences: the people live and work in peace and contentment, the hungry have food, the cold have clothing, the residents have houses, and the cultivators have fields. In this way, it is a peaceful and prosperous age.
In fact, Chinese people are the most easily satisfied people in the world. How easily can they be satisfied?
Even if they were "eating chaff and drinking water" under the enslavement of foreigners, that was the standard of a prosperous age. If you could eat all you wanted of sweet potato rice, you were already a well-off family.
But in the Ming Dynasty, they can not only eat enough, but also eat well. Even everyone can eat meat every day. If they are willing, beef intestines, beef scalp, beef heart and other offal meats only cost a few
You can buy dozens of kilograms for just a penny. As a big livestock country, Ming Dynasty simply
Beef offal...is also meat!
Because of its low price, beef offal is the most common food in the new immigration camps and factories of the Ming Dynasty. After all, both the country and the merchants have to consider the cost.
Just like the most common staple food in immigration camps and factories is mashed potatoes, these foods are provided because they are cheap.
Although it was cheap, when a spoonful of red beef offal and radish was poured on the mashed potatoes and smelling the fragrant food, Jin Zainan felt that his mouth was almost watering.
"The Ming Dynasty is truly worthy of being a great kingdom!"
After sighing, Jin Zainan immediately sat down at the dining table and started eating. In the factory restaurant, all the workers were eating their meals like him.
All factories are the same. Lunch time is only half an hour. If they eat quickly, they still have time to chat together for a while and smoke a few puffs of cigarettes.
Just when Jin Zainan was about to finish his meal, someone shouted over there.
"Korea Lao,"
Hearing the voice, Jin Zainan quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Ah, Brother Chen! Please sit down."
Jin Zainan is a Korean. Six years ago, he and his compatriots sneaked across the Yalu River from North Korea due to lack of livelihood. They originally wanted to open up wasteland and farm in Liaodong, but they were expelled by the Qing Dynasty officials and had to work in Zhuangzi.
I met Chen Sheng two years ago and followed him back to his hometown in Shandong, and then took a boat to Daming together.
The Ming Dynasty, even though Jin Zainan had only been acquainted with it for a few years, he knew the Ming Dynasty's kindness to North Korea. Of course, he also knew that the "Great Ming Dynasty" that the teachers and gentlemen never forgot had long been reduced to the Manchu barbarians.
hand.
But how come Ming Dynasty is alive again tens of thousands of miles away?
But for an ordinary person like Jin Zainan, he has thought about so much. As long as he can have enough to eat and live a good life, at most he can just sigh in his heart - Tomorrow will be great! He sighed and finally
I understand why teachers and gentlemen never forget about the Great Tomorrow.
Who can forget such a dynasty?
"Mr. Gao Li, you said last time that there are many women in your hometown, right? As long as you have two or three pieces of cloth, you can take away a woman?"
As soon as he sat down, Chen Sheng asked directly.
"If we bring thousands of pieces of cloth to your hometown, can we get thousands of women in exchange?"
Staring at Mr. Gaoli, Chen Sheng's eyes were full of expectation. One or two pieces of cloth can be exchanged for a woman. How much does two or three pieces of cloth cost? It's just a few cents!
If you bring them to the Ming Dynasty, if you don't say anything else, you will receive a "dowry" of hundreds of dollars and tens of dollars, and the profit will be hundreds of times when they change hands!
Chen Sheng has been thinking about this business for a while. Although he has no money himself, he can attract investment - one of his fellow villagers specializes in the "contract maid" business. As long as he can knock on the door, that fellow villager will definitely
Those who are willing to participate in equity investments, after all, in a place like Ming Dynasty, no matter how many women there are, there will never be too many.
"More, Brother Chen."
Jin Zainan shook his head and said.
"What's too much?"
"There's too much cloth, not three pieces, but two pieces at most!"
Jin Zainan held out two fingers and said.
"Although the cloth is not valuable, we cannot maliciously raise the price."
In Kim Jae-nam's view, if the price is raised maliciously, many ordinary North Korean men will definitely not be able to find wives by then, and this kind of thing cannot be done.
A man can't even harm himself, right?
"The price is what it is. We can't raise the price too high, otherwise we will definitely suffer losses in the future. After all, if the price goes up, it will only get higher and higher. Do you think this is true, Brother Chen?
