In the early morning of October 5th, in Lanfang Square, under the dim light of dawn, tens of thousands of civilians were already crowded, waiting to attend the ceremony.
As of the latest statistics, the national population of Lanzhou is 72,368 people, and there are at least 60,000 people present today.
However, there is a garden plaza as huge as Manhattan's Central Park to wander around, and 60,000 people are as inconspicuous as a pinch of salt thrown into the soup.
Attending the ceremony is completely optional.
However, the authorities also issued a notice that people with Lanfang nationality can go to the designated area inside the square to watch the ceremony. It is a flat area of about 600 meters by 600 meters, surrounded by high-end flower beds outside. There are 60,000 people.
The entrance is very spacious, with more than two meters between people in front, back, left and right. There are nearly a thousand police and security personnel responsible for maintaining order, and everyone entering the venue must verify their credentials.
In addition, the country clearly states that children under ten years old and elderly people over 72 years old are "not recommended to attend the ceremony." Considering the royal family's prestige among the people, everyone generally accepts this advice 100%.
And why the upper limit is 72 years old? It is because Zhu Zedong is already 72 years old. If out of respect for the elderly, it is not recommended for people over 70 to participate, it would appear to be unfilial to Zhu Zedong. Therefore, the upper limit is set a little higher than Zhu Zedong.
Etiquette is sophisticated.
Just like during the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion between Wu and Chu, when King Wu Liu Bi raised an army, the conscription order also had to read "The superiors are the same age as the widow, and the inferiors are the same age as the youngest son", and all were recruited to serve as soldiers. After all, Liu Bi and himself
Bi's youngest son has personally joined the rebel army and went to the battlefield. How can the common people be exempted from military service?
As for the foreign workers who have no nationality, they can just look around at the periphery. There are also people who maintain order, but there is no need to check their IDs. As for other free drinks and snacks, they are all provided in a marathon style, with no limit, and the quality is even better than that of a marathon.
The game is much better.
Counting all foreign workers, the number of people watching the ceremony in the entire square could exceed 300,000. About three or four years ago, in 2002, the total number of foreign workers was already 300,000. Now in 2005, with this
After three years of industrial development, employment has increased, and there are about ten more foreign workers.
Thousands of people, mainly in service industries such as tourism, hotels and shopping. However, foreign workers also have to work and be on duty, especially with so many foreign tourists coming during the ceremony. There must be many necessary positions that cannot be left, so there are only 30
Thousands of people came to watch the ceremony, and at least hundreds of thousands of people were still working.
In addition, foreign workers are also divided into grades. Some senior engineers and senior technical managers have now launched the title of "honorary citizen" in Lanzhou. The advantage of honorary citizenship is that it does not count as nationality, so it can avoid China's "non-recognition"
The "dual nationality" law allows honorary citizens to obtain the honor of Lanzhou without losing their Chinese nationality. These honorary citizens have an area designated in the stadium and can enter the infield and watch the ceremony up close like ordinary citizens.
Zhu Youran ascended the throne.
In a nutshell, Gu Kun's design for honorary citizens is to give them all the same ceremonial treatment as ordinary citizens. The only difference is that they do not have to enjoy the material rewards that Lanfang Oil Company pays and benefits.
This is also a measure to encourage foreign workers to work hard in Lanzhou, giving them a way to rise and see the benefits. Of course, Gu Kun will also strictly control this scale, especially in the future, he will also warn future generations to
We must control this standard and never make the same mistake as the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who acted foolishly by "promoting universal citizenship".
People's hearts are prone to be ungrateful. This is our instinct and cannot be changed.
That's why there are so many first-generation immigrants in immigration countries who are grateful and work hard. Even if they are treated as second-class citizens, they don't feel any problem with being discriminated against. But once they reach the second-generation immigrants, they start to be greedy and start to worry about themselves.
"Why are we treated differently than those native children who were here ten or eight generations ago?"
Whether it is the French or the Roman Empire, they are all typical examples of giving up sustainable development in order to win over a generation. Of course, Gu Kun cannot follow the same trap as Emperor Diocletian and those particularly mentally retarded French commanders.
.
We must warn future generations: Benefits must be released bit by bit, pay attention to the sense of rhythm, and never give up on suppressing and controlling the rhythm of upgrades just to give consumers more pleasure for a while.
One of the alliance leaders was moved by the excitement, but in the end it only ended in a tragic ending.
…
The construction time of Lanfang Square was completed at about the same time as Yongxi Palace and Lanfang Tower, but the construction time was different - Lanfang Tower was the earliest, started in 1999, Yongxi Palace started in 2001, and Lanfang Tower started in 2001.
Construction of Square Square only started in 2003.
After all, the construction of the square is very convenient and the cycle is not long. It takes two years. The main reason is that the Lanfang royal family strives for excellence and makes this a world-class royal garden that can be enjoyed by the people.
The kind of place that has a royal user experience but allows ordinary people to enter. At the same time, ordinary people cannot really come to the park every day, and the scenery and fresh air brought by the green space can only be enjoyed by people who live nearby.
So this place is actually equivalent to the supporting green belt of Yongxi Palace.
This is the truth as it is said: "The confinement of King Wen is seventy miles wide, but the people think it is small. The confinement of the few is forty miles wide, and the people think it is big." This is the truth.
King Xuan of Qi asked Mencius why. Mencius believed that the key was that "King Wen's confinement is the same as that of the people." King Wen of Zhou's imperial garden was accessible to ordinary subjects, so the common people felt that it didn't matter how big the land was. ("Mencius"
The original text is: "Those who eat cud go there, and those who eat pheasants and rabbits go there." That is to say, people who chop wood and hunt can go in and share firewood and prey.)
Master Gu is so rich, so of course he has to make the Imperial Garden a place for King Wen instead of a place for the few.
How could a caressing poor like King Xuan of Qi deserve to be imitated by Master Gu?
Because the Garden Square had just been completed, and it was the first time for the subjects to come here, even during the waiting time for the ceremony to start, everyone did not feel bored, but felt very fresh, as if they were traveling.
.
"Wow, so many varieties of trees and exotic flowers and plants are really generous. This place is not really designed and maintained as a royal garden. I think many of the flowers are not tropical plants. They can be grown in the open square like this.
?”
"Rose roses, roses, and tulips are all flowers from the colder temperate zone. They can actually be grown in orchids. This flower bed of cold temperate zone flowers covers an area of at least ten acres. I don't know how many gardeners are needed.
Serve.”
Roses are not as abundant in warm places as many people think. Chinese roses are mainly produced in Shandong Province in the north, the rose capital of North America, and also in Portland, Oregon in the north. Therefore, roses and tulips are flowers of these factions.
, although it is not rare in the north, it is very arrogant in the tropics, and large tracts of it are enough to show off your wealth.
In contrast, many foreign workers who have not yet understood the environment in Lanfang and have just arrived in Lanfang for less than two years have very different concerns from local citizens in Lanfang. They still lament: "This place in Lanfang,
It deserves such a beautiful country name, tropical orchid, gladiolus, strelitzia, Milan, tiger orchid... so many varieties of beautiful and precious orchid species, which are really rare in China."
This kind of exclamation was quickly scorned by others and regarded as "country people": you have no idea? Orchids inherently prefer hot and humid conditions. These varieties are actually tropical species, and it is not difficult to grow orchids all over the mountain.
As for other cosmos, canna, and Indian jasmine, they are also transplanted from other places. The varieties are very beautiful and magnificent, and they completely defy the weather and climate.
Many onlookers soon discovered that even a whole day of playing in the gardens on the square was not enough to take in all the details. The time spent waiting for the ceremony was not enough to spend, let alone boring.
Even before the royal family members appear, the wonders here have already been taken by reporters from all over the world and countless terabytes of photos/video files have been taken.
…
"Your Highness the Princess is here! Look, it's so beautiful and majestic."
"Is the princess's face something you can look directly at? It's so beautiful and noble. Even looking directly at her will shorten your life (pray)."
"This dress is much more luxurious than when I got married four years ago. It's too grand and sparkling, but it's so sparkly that it doesn't make people think it's vulgar. Tsk tsk, this atmosphere and demeanor, I can't even imagine it."
At about 8:40 in the morning, after people in the square had been enjoying the scene for a long time, they finally saw the royal nobles appear and burst into suppressed cheers.
Especially when I saw Zhu Youran, the cheers came from the heart. After all, there will be such a beautiful monarch in the future, who would not support it. Even countries like Japan are following the Internet, forcing politicians and
The congressmen are becoming more and more internet celebrities, but the Lanfang people are just a few years ahead of schedule. What’s more, the royal family gives out so much money, and everyone really loves them.
Because it was just a ceremony for passing the throne and coronation, Gu Kun, as Zhu Youran's husband, did not have the opportunity to play an important role in the ceremony today. From beginning to end, it was a matter between Zhu Meidong and Zhu Youran's parents. In addition, the one who had just turned one month old
The son can be carried out to show his face. After Zhu Youran is crowned, according to etiquette, he will be announced as the crown prince.
This is why this kind of ceremony should be held at least until the child is one month old. The ancients even liked to wait until the child was one year old. Because when the medical conditions were not good enough, babies were the most likely to die. In the ancient times, many children who were about to die died before they reached their first birthday.
, can survive until one or two years old, and as long as there are no unexpected events, it is rare for them to die young again.
If during the canonization ceremony, the child's health is not confirmed before the child's health is confirmed, it will be very troublesome if the child dies in infancy.
Nowadays, the medical conditions in Lanfang are of course the most noble and high-end. Therefore, during the period after the child is born and one month old, all kinds of medical technology are used to monitor the physical examination. The examination is very careful, and it is confirmed that he is healthy and free of any diseases.
In this way, the royal family will handle the crown prince's ceremony together with the coronation ceremony.
As the ceremony progressed, hundreds of thousands of people watched in full view. Almost everyone was envious online: Life is so good. I was only one month old when I was born. I have already been canonized as the crown prince. I have my mother’s title and I am still waiting to inherit it.
The royal family’s $200 billion in wealth from daddy’s side…
There are also some who are more sour, complaining: Humph, this is a good life? Maybe it is not as good as **. There is at least a 50-year age difference between ** and his grandfather, so he can succeed to the throne at the age of 22. He and *
* is only 22 years old. If ** lives a long life, he may be the heir apparent until he is in his seventh or eighth decade!
