Dutiful son.
North Korea is the filial son of the Ming Dynasty!
No Korean would object to this sentence. Who dares to say otherwise? The Koreans themselves could beat him to death without Daming.
Kim Dae-cheon is a Korean who was once a Confucian scholar at Ganghwafuseong Academy. He came to the Ming Dynasty by chance. In 1866, after the French occupied Ganghwa Island during the "Bingyin Foreign Harassment", he was captured as a prisoner and later accompanied the French.
He wandered all the way to Haeju. Just when he was released by the French and prepared to return to North Korea via land from Haeju, he was "cheated (mai)" into an immigration ship in Nanhua and traveled across the ocean to Nanhua.
Although he has only been here for six years, he quickly passed the high school entrance examination and then entered the business management school. From an ordinary company employee to the founder of Tianyi Clothing Company, in just a few years, the company has grown
To become one of the top clothing companies in Nanhua, I have to say that he is indeed very business-minded.
After learning from the newspaper that the North Korean envoy Liu Chongjiao and others had arrived in South China, he seemed very excited. Meeting old friends in a foreign land, even if he had only heard of Liu Chongjiao's name, so what?
After all, Liu Chongjiao is a great scholar in the world!
When he was in North Korea, he would never see such a big shot. But it was different here in Ming Dynasty. These people were all new to the country and would definitely want to listen to his advice as a North Korean.
So he invited Liu Zhongjiao and his entourage in the name of Confucian scholars in Jianghua Fucheng to help them cleanse themselves from the dust.
When they received the invitation, Liu Zhongjiao and the others were stunned. There was actually a Confucian scholar from Jianghua here.
After the banquet was held in the hotel, Jin Dachuan and Jin Yu were both born in the Andong Jin family, and they were relatives. Although the relatives were at least two hundred years apart, even so, it did not prevent the two parties from recognizing each other.
.This is actually close to the distance between them.
It's not polite to come back and forth. Three days later, Liu Chongjiao and Jin Yujun arrived at Jin Dachuan's house carrying a box of Korean ginseng. After the uncle and nephew chatted together for a while, Jin Dachuan invited Liu Chongjiao and Jin Yujun.
They all arrived at the rooftop terrace.
The low flowers and trees surrounding the terrace are lush, and there is an exquisite and small pavilion. There are several tables and chairs in the pavilion. The tables and chairs are all made of rattan, but they are all of a style they have never seen before - small and exquisite.
"Mr. Liu, please take a seat."
After sitting down, Liu Chongjiao couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked out from the roof and saw the lights of thousands of houses in the community.
"Oh, it's really hard to imagine that this place is actually the house where ordinary people live in the Ming Dynasty. The wealth of the Ming Dynasty is beyond our imagination."
I have been visiting various places in the Ming Dynasty recently. If I say what impressed me the most, it was of course the wealth of the Ming Dynasty. It simply subverted their imagination and understanding.
In fact, for these Confucian scholars, they may be overwhelmed by the modern industrial civilization of the Ming Dynasty, but what has a greater impact on them is the lives of the common people.
The people of the Ming Dynasty lived a very prosperous life. They lived in Mingtang brick houses, ate white rice and white noodles, and could eat meat every day. Such a life was simply... like heaven.
If there really is a heaven on earth, it may be the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty is kind-hearted. When Nanhua was founded, Your Majesty personally drew the drawings and built the first community. From then on, people in Ming Dynasty can live in such apartments. As long as they get married, they can apply for a four-bedroom apartment with two bedrooms.
If you have more children in the hall house, you can apply for a bigger house, and you only need to pay a few yuan in rent every month."
"Rent? So, these houses don't belong to them?"
Liu Chongjiao asked curiously.
"Not yet, but when you move in, you only need to pay 50 to 70 yuan. After renting for 20 years, the house will be yours. If you cancel the lease midway, you can deduct the auxiliary money in proportion."
In fact, it is a disguised form of installment payment. It is through this method that Ming Dynasty allowed millions of workers and their families to live in new houses, instead of being crowded in simple and dilapidated houses.
"His Majesty, Emperor Shengde, is truly benevolent!"
While admiring, Liu Chongjiao looked at the children running in the garden downstairs. His eyes were full of wonder and envy. How could he not envy the wealthy people of the Ming Dynasty?
It is not important to establish a country overseas. What is important is that this Ming Dynasty is indeed like the paradise described by the gentlemen where the people live and work in peace and contentment!
This place is really the paradise of heaven!
The servants began to serve the food, and Liu Chongjiao was quite looking forward to this family banquet.
In fact, after arriving in Daming, he found that the dishes here were completely different from the dishes described in "Yan Xing Ji". Here you can eat dishes from all over the world, as well as local specialties.
Sure enough, the dishes are different from traditional Chinese dishes. The flavor is quite unique and fragrant. It is said that these are foreign dishes, but they have been slightly improved.
"This meat is made from whale meat. We don't eat fish here in the Ming Dynasty. The chefs prefer to fry steak and whale meat..."
Jin Dachuan, who was chatting eloquently, picked up the wine again and made a toast.
The wine used is wine produced in the Central Valley. Compared with "Victory Wine", its alcohol content is lower and it is more popular with the middle and senior management of the company. Of course, rice wines such as Zhuangyuanhong are also very popular with them, while ordinary
People prefer "Victory Wine" with a high alcohol content. As for Tan Chu Niao's beer, some people only drink some iced beer during barbecues.
Then another servant brought a large hot pot. The pot was divided into two double compartments like Tai Chi and Bagua, with red oil on one side and a clear soup pot on the other.
"This is Yuanyang Hot Pot. We had it when we were in Linhai. The flavor is very unique!"
Young Liu Linxi smiled and said that he liked hot pot very much.
"This hot pot has a unique flavor from the Ming Dynasty and is unique."
Jin Dachuan smiled and said,
"Although it has a very strong taste, it is very popular in the market. I heard that this dish was created by His Majesty."
"External rumors cannot be believed!"
Liu Chongjiao really guessed wrong. Let alone Yuanyang Hot Pot. As a gourmet, Emperor Zhu Da created more than dozens of recipes. As for barbecue and the like, it was very common. Jin Dachuan certainly didn't know about this either.
There were too many explanations. In fact, he didn't believe it at first, but anyone who has come into contact with the first two generations of immigrants will know that His Majesty is an approachable person who likes to have fun with the people. He even cooked for them himself.
Everyone moved quickly, but Liu Zhongjiao felt that his mouth was extremely spicy. He only took a few bites, thought about it, and then asked.
"Chen Bai, since you have lived in the Ming Dynasty for eight years, you must know this place very well. There is something you don't know whether to ask or not."
"Mr. Liu, I want to ask if the Ming Dynasty is great!"
Jin Dachuan asked directly.
"A few years ago, the Kingdom of Heaven sent a mission here to inform Your Majesty that the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Gao had been properly repaired. Even the Manchu barbarians knew how to repair the imperial mausoleum on the outskirts of Beijing in order to make friends with the Ming Dynasty. Do you think this is the Ming Dynasty?
Ming dynasty?"
In fact, whether it is yes or no is not important at all. What is important?
"This place is truly a celestial kingdom."
Jin Yujun said,
"The so-called paradise of heaven is nothing better than this."
"What my uncle said is true. This place is indeed the paradise of the Celestial Empire. It's just up to you gentlemen how we, Korea, will serve the Ming Dynasty in the future."
"What do you mean?"
"Mr. Liu, do you know how many Japanese there are in Ming Dynasty!"
"Japanese?"
Liu Chongjiao frowned slightly. He was no stranger to the Japanese. Although he had never had any contact with them, Japan had invaded North Korea. If Emperor Wanli had not sent out the heavenly troops from China, North Korea would have perished at the hands of Japan.
"Exactly, although the Japanese are barbarians, in the past ten years, hundreds of thousands of Japanese have married into the Ming Dynasty. There are also tens of thousands of Japanese immigrants in the Ming Dynasty. Every year, Japanese people have become Ming people.
In the colonies, Japan was a pioneer in colonization and was willing to be driven by the Ming Dynasty. The loyalty of the Japanese people was deeply recognized by the Ming Dynasty. Even when the Japanese mission arrived in the Ming Dynasty two years ago, His Majesty even commended it in person."
Praise, I must praise it, Empire supplies!
There were not so many people in the Ming Dynasty who used consumables in the tropical rainforests of Africa. Japanese consumables were very good to use, so of course they had to praise them when they saw them. For this, Jin Dachuan was envious!
"But what about us Koreans? We, the Koreans, claim to be the filial sons of the Ming Dynasty, but in the Ming Dynasty, the Koreans can only count them. When the day comes, when the Ming Dynasty favors Japan far more than the Koreans, how will we, the Koreans, behave themselves at that time?
Department, I heard..."
With a long sigh, Jin Dachuan said.
“In the DPRK, there are already naturalized civilian officials of Japanese descent occupying high positions!”
