Dad is strong!
How strong is Daming’s father?
It can be said that along the way, Li Shiying's biggest impression was the greatness and strength of the Ming Dynasty.
It is huge, from Japan to the mainland tens of thousands of miles away, with ports and cannons along the way.
Strong, aren’t the warships seen along the way strong?
And now?
From the moment he set foot on Linhai Port, Li Shiying suffered an unprecedented impact.
"Master Chen, this port is paved with huge stones?"
The reason why Li Shiying asked this was because the seemingly stone floor was flat and there was no trace of splicing. What is this? Is it paved with a huge stone?
"Haha, this is reinforced concrete, the same material used to build houses,"
Chen Haodong, who was responsible for receiving the North Korean delegation, smiled.
"This material can not only be used to build roads, but also to build houses. The high-rise buildings you see in Daxia are basically made of reinforced concrete, which is cast by mixing cement, sand and gravel... …”
“So what is cement?”
"It is a kind of mortar with very fine particles. When water and sand are added, it can become as hard as stone. After adding steel to it, the structure will be tighter."
What?
Adding steel to a house?
Is it the steel used to make weapons?
This is simply unbelievable...
Li Shiying pursed his lips but was speechless. It took him a long while to speak.
"The wealth of the Celestial Empire is beyond the understanding of the ministers of the small country like us, and it makes your Majesty laugh."
Why does he think so? Because iron is expensive!
At least in North Korea, iron is very expensive, and steel is even more expensive. But here in the Ming Dynasty, they can use steel to build houses. Isn't this rich?
Later, when they got into the car, Li Shiying couldn't help but grab his thigh as the car moved - the car doesn't need a horse, is this a train?
No, this is a car.
A car that burns gasoline.
After that, they kept driving in this extremely strange city for North Koreans. What appeared in front of them was a completely different city, different from the dirty Seoul filled with garbage. Although a few streets There are many pedestrians and bustling people, but the streets are clean and tidy. Everyone is dressed very appropriately. There are no poor people in ragged clothes wherever you look. Of course, you can also see the low thatched houses.
There are trams coming and going everywhere on the road. It runs on the wide avenue, there are also some cars, and more people are riding bicycles, and cars are coming and going on the street.
Is this the Ming Dynasty?
This is Daming!
A big, powerful and rich Ming Dynasty.
That night, in the hotel room where Li Shiying and his party stayed, he stood by the window and looked out at the city that never sleeps. Li Shiying was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he said, "Today I know that Liu Province Why would Zhai say that this is the true paradise of the Ming Dynasty? Although he is new to this place, what he said is indeed true!"
Liu Shengzhai is Liu Chongjiao. Ever since he returned to Korea from the Ming Dynasty, he has always praised the Ming Dynasty. If Liu Chongjiao was a fan before, now he has become a licking dog of the Ming Dynasty, and he is still kneeling. The licking kind.
"What Mr. Da Yuan said is true!"
Pu Gui Shou heard loudly and praised,
"Mr. Dayuan, we thought Liu Shengzhai's words were too exaggerated at first. Where in the world can the people have enough to eat and eat meat every day? But look at the rosy faces of the people here. It seems that what Liu Shengzhai said is not only not exaggerated, but may even be restrained!"
"Yes, even what Liu Shengzhai said now is a bit unbelievable. If we all saw everything revealed, I'm afraid everyone in the world would just think he was dreaming!"
"Dreaming? Can you dream of a place like this?"
Li Shiying murmured.
"It's really unbelievable!..."
"It's really unbelievable, Mr. Daewon,"
Park Kyushu said,
"If you hadn't come to the Ming Dynasty, you wouldn't know how much the world has changed!"
In fact, they have been thinking about whether to come to Daming for a long time, otherwise it would not have been delayed for so long. They have been staying in Japan for the past few months, especially whether to come to Daming. It took about half a year to think about it.
But what about now?
They even felt that it was a little late. Why they felt that way was not just because Ming Dynasty satisfied their imagination of the Peach Blossom Land.
From ancient times to the present, all human beings have always fantasized about a beautiful heaven, also called paradise. In the West, it is called Utopia. In the East, Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring is this kind of fantasy. There is no rich or poor, no oppression, and yellow hair. Everyone is contented with themselves.
What appears in their eyes now seems to be that Utopia, that Peach Blossom Land. In this place, people live without worries about food and clothing.
But for this group of exiles, this is not the most important thing. They even don't care about the lives of ordinary people at all. After all, they are not the kind of scholars who are immersed in the peach blossom garden.
Who are they?
They are a group of officials who failed in the political struggle. The reason why they came here is to seek help from the Ming Dynasty, and with the help of the Ming Dynasty, they can return to North Korea and seize their rights.
What they saw was not a utopia, nor was it a paradise. What they saw was a very powerful kingdom of heaven. It didn’t matter how the people in this kingdom lived. What mattered was that the kingdom of heaven had the ability to help them return to North Korea. .
This is the most important.
But this does not prevent them from looking at this strange country in an extremely shocked way. For these people from North Korea, it is almost as if they have suddenly stepped from one world to another. This world is theirs. What is incomprehensible is also unimaginable.
Whether it is the city that never sleeps, or the skyscrapers, or the electric lights, hot water, gramophone, and telephone in this room, all of these are new things that they have never heard of.
It is precisely these new things that have an unimaginable impact on each of them. This has also changed, especially for Li Shiying, who finally understood what it is to be a frog in a well and what it means to be a well. Watch the sky.
Daming ah...
Staring at the dreamlike city outside the window, Li Shiying's eyes became more and more complicated, and his mood even became a little difficult to describe.
Just at this moment, someone said from the side.
"Before, we couldn't understand why the Japanese did everything to please the Ming Dynasty. Now, we finally understand. The reason why the Japanese are like this can be understood just by seeing this city. How can the wealth of the Ming Dynasty not make people fascinated?"
The Ming Dynasty is indeed fascinating...but how will the Ming Dynasty treat the current North Korea?
In other words, how should we treat him as an exile?
Now he is not the leader of North Korea. He is an exile worth noting. For Li Shiying, why did he flee here?
There is only one reason, and that is to hope to use the power of Ming Dynasty to return to North Korea and regain the power that belongs to him.
The Ming Dynasty definitely had this power. Especially after coming to the homeland of the Ming Dynasty and witnessing the powerful side of the Ming Dynasty, Li Shiying did not doubt this.
In his opinion, even Ming Dynasty only needs to send a warship to help him regain power, and it is not just because of the name "Da Ming".
But because of the unparalleled national power of China!
They just need to move their fingers a little to help him like they helped Japan.
But, will Daming help him?
It's possible. But why would Daming help him? What would he use to convince Daming to help him regain power?
Standing by the window and staring at the city outside the window, Li Shiying couldn't help but fall into silence. He didn't know what kind of chips he had in his hand to convince Daming to help him.
After all, in this world, no matter what you want, you have to pay a price...
