In the corner of Taihe Square, Liu Da was ordering someone to take photos with a camera. Emperor Zhengde was looking at it very enthusiastically, and many ministers were also curious about how this camera captured the scene.
I saw Liu Da standing in a corner. With the fierce burning of the spotlight, a strong light was instantly created. The photographer recorded the scene, and then immediately went to wash the job in a sealed dark room.
In just a short time, more than a dozen photos were cleaned and handed over to Zhu Houzhao and many ministers.
"Oh, it's really magical. You can really take photos of people. This is much better than painting!"
"Isn't it? It feels a bit subtle, but there is no color. It would be better if there was color."
"But this is already amazing. The speed at which everything was photographed in such a short period of time is quite remarkable. Even the most powerful painter cannot achieve such speed, clarity and comprehensiveness."
"Yes, yes, look at the cracks on the blue bricks. They are very clear."
"This is really an amazing invention. From now on, it will be very meaningful to take photos as a souvenir when the family reunites during the Chinese New Year."
"Mr. Li, when you say this, it really is true."
"If you are a traveler traveling far away, bringing a family photo like this can also comfort you when you are homesick and missing your relatives!"
"This thing is so good!"
The ministers passed the photos to each other, and each one of them kept discussing. They were all amazed when they looked at the photos.
“Fun, fun!”
"Interesting, so interesting!"
"With this camera, it will be much more convenient for me to take family photos from now on."
Zhu Houzhao naturally liked it even more. He was the most curious and fond of all kinds of new things, and would even spend energy to study them carefully.
Now when I saw this camera, I was ecstatic and said, "Come on, come on, take a picture for me too!"
"yes!"
When Liu Da heard this, he nodded and immediately ordered people to prepare quickly.
Soon, in the Jinluan Hall, Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair in a serious manner, showing a majestic imperial aura. Liu Jin beside him also quickly arranged his clothes and stood up straight.
With the flash of the spotlight, the photo was taken, and then it was developed in the same non-stop manner. It didn't take long before a photo of Emperor Zhengde sitting on the dragon throne came out.
"Haha, not bad, not bad!"
When Zhu Houzhao saw the photo, he nodded with satisfaction.
"I like these two gifts from your South African colony very much!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After receiving the emperor's praise, Liu Da also quickly thanked him.
"My dear friends, when we go to court, let's all take a photo together in Taihe Square. In addition, we will inform the envoys from various countries to take photos here in Taihe Square after the audience is over."
"It's really time to catch up. I have developed this sequence at the right time when I ascend the throne. This thing will definitely be very popular in the future."
Zhu Houzhao was in a very good mood and began to give orders to the ministers.
"yes!"
The ministers also quickly replied in unison.
Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao and then at the photo he had just taken. He estimated that Zhu Houzhao should be the first emperor to leave photos for future generations.
No, Emperor Hongzhi is still here. If he took photos, he would be the first emperor to leave photos, and future generations would be able to know what the emperor looked like.
"When will the movie be made? We have cameras, so it shouldn't be difficult to make the movie."
Liu Jin was thinking in his mind that various inventions are emerging in endlessly now. I believe that movies, telephones, etc. will be invented soon.
It was a gift from the colony of South Africa to the Emperor of Heaven, who liked it very much.
Once the gramophone and camera came out, the gifts behind them became less important.
In fact, the value of the gifts presented by the South African colony was not very high, but it was very novel and a new invention, and Zhu Houzhao liked it very much.
One after another, people from the colonies took turns going to the Jinluan Palace to see the emperor and offer congratulatory gifts to the emperor.
"The United Western Merchant Company presents nine boxes of gems of various colors, nine boxes of pearls, nine pairs of corals, nine boxes of gold, nine boxes of silver, nine species of rare beasts, and nine beauties from India. Congratulations to the Emperor of Tomorrow on his enthronement of this great treasure, which will last for eternity!"
"Li's Chaling Colony presented nine boxes of Persian pearls, nine boxes of gold, nine boxes of silver, nine Arabian BMWs, one sword handle, and six Arab beauties."
One after another, colonies came forward to offer gifts. In addition to various treasures, gold and silver, the most numerous gifts were beauties and rare and rare animals to Zhu Houzhao.
There are a lot of lions, tigers, elephants, leopards, bears and so on. It is estimated that Zhu Houzhao did not build a leopard house originally, but now he has to build a leopard house to raise these beasts.
Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao built a zoo before, and it is now famous all over the world. It is a must-visit place for people who come to the capital. Not only did it not lose money, but it also made a lot of money from selling tickets.
Now is the time to put these various rare and exotic animals in and raise them together.
"The envoy of North Korea has an audience!"
It took several hours for the Ming Dynasty's vassal states and colonies to have an audience with each other, and it was finally time for the envoys from the vassal states to have an audience.
Following the voice of the little eunuch, Pu Yuanzong, the envoy of North Korea, also walked in respectfully.
"My humble minister Pu Yuanzong comes to see His Majesty the Ming Emperor. Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
"No need to pay tribute, just get back on your feet!"
Regarding North Korea, the Ming Dynasty has always regarded North Korea as an important younger brother, and also takes great care of North Korea.
Of course, North Korea is also respectful to the Ming Empire and never dares to neglect it. Even if it is a cruel monarch like Lord Yanshan, he treats everything about the Ming Empire very carefully.
Beauty contestants are often held as tributes to the Emperor of Heaven.
Emperor Hongzhi was naturally not blessed to enjoy it, but Zhu Houzhao had enjoyed the taste of these Korean beauties. Each of them was carefully selected and received strict professional training. They were definitely alluring little fairies, making people forget to leave.
Therefore, when he heard about the Korean envoy, Zhu Houzhao's little eyes shone slightly, looking forward to the Korean beauty who would be presented this time.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Park Yuanzong took out a long gift list and started reading it.
"To congratulate Your Majesty on your grand achievement, which will last for generations to come!"
"The State of Korea is offering ninety-nine pounds of Korean ginseng, ninety-nine BMWs, and nine beauties from Haidongqing!"
Zhu Houzhao was not interested at all in the things he read before.
Nowadays, Zhu Houzhao has a lot of BMWs and so on. The Korean BMWs are not worth mentioning at all. There are more than a dozen of sweaty BMWs in Zhu Houzhao's horse farm. There are also Arabian war horses, European BMWs, Turkic BMWs, etc. Zhu Houzhao now
I'm not in the mood to go horse riding anymore, I prefer driving.
As for all kinds of wild beasts and rare birds, there are a lot of them. After playing for a long time, they just become the same, and there is no novelty anymore.
The last thing that really inspired people was the nine beauties from North Korea whom they heard about. This made Zhu Houzhao narrow his eyes slightly, and he was already wishing that evening would come soon.
Zhu Houzhao's harem came from all over the world, and there were beauties from all tribes in the Ming Dynasty. He had tasted all over the world, but this Korean beauty always made him linger and visit often.
There are new products now, so naturally they are my favorite.
"Jun Yanshan is interested."
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When Pu Yuanzong heard this, he quickly thanked him.
The fact that North Korea is able to live a small life today is naturally related to the thick legs of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, is it because North Korea still wants to have colonies overseas?
"The envoy from Japan is here to meet you!"
After the Korean Kingdom came the Japanese Kingdom. Unlike the Korean Kingdom, the Japanese Kingdom came with two groups of people this time, sent by the Japanese king and the shogunate.
Similar to Korea, Japan also spent a lot of money this time. The list of gifts was very long, and all the gifts were valuable. Of course, in the end, the gift of beautiful women was also well worth it.
The whole world knows that the Emperor of Heaven loves beauties. Nothing else can be missing, but this beauty is indispensable.
"Hmm~"
"The Japanese king and the shogun are interested."
When Zhu Houzhao heard about the Japanese beauty, his little eyes narrowed slightly.
Speaking of beauties, the beauties of the Japanese country are also quite good, and Zhu Houzhao also likes them very much.
The beauties of the Japanese country generally have exquisite figures and soft bodies. The key is that they are very good at serving others. Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied every time, and there were many Japanese beauties who patronized his harem.
Now that new Japanese beauties have arrived, Zhu Houzhao can have a good time playing again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The Japanese envoys withdrew from Jinluan Palace.
As for the Japanese country, they have been working hard to learn from North Korea, hoping to become the true confidants of the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Empire still has troops stationed in Hyogo-no-jin and Iwami, obviously to prevent the Japanese country from having any influence on the Ming Dynasty.
Alien.
Of course, both the Japanese king and the shogun hoped that the Emperor of Heaven would support them and support them in unifying the entire Japanese country, instead of being divided as it is now.
If the Japanese countries could be unified, they would be able to compete with Spain in West Africa. However, because there is no unification, each other's strength is consumed internally and cannot be concentrated, so they have always suffered in the struggle for colonies in West Africa.
In addition, the looting of Western Europe has also been greatly affected, especially now that Western European countries are uniting to fight against Japanese pirates. The raids against Japanese pirates have caused great losses to the Japanese countries. They especially hope that the Ming Dynasty can support them.
But obviously, Ming Dynasty naturally hopes that they will continue to maintain their current status. This is the most beneficial to Ming Dynasty.
