In the Shuxiangyayuan community in the western suburbs of Beijing.
With the shouts of newsboys selling newspapers, the whole city began to come alive, becoming noisy and lively.
Gilt woke up from his sleep. The mattress made of springs was very comfortable to sleep on. Covered with a quilt made of cotton, it formed the most powerful seal in this winter, making it difficult to get up.
"Oh, it would be great if I could marry a Ming Dynasty woman."
Gilt shook his head helplessly. It has been almost half a year since he came to Ming Dynasty, and it has been more than four months since he settled in the capital. He also has a deeper understanding of this huge empire.
In the past six months, he has been to the northern grasslands and visited the hometown of Genghis Khan. It was already the grassland province of the Ming Dynasty, and the powerful Mongols were herding cattle and sheep for the Ming people.
He has also been to Korea and Japan, and felt the strong influence of the Ming Dynasty in Korea and Japan. People there are learning from the Ming Dynasty in an all-round way. Everything and every aspect has been greatly influenced by the Ming Dynasty.
He has also been to Shanxi along the repaired cement road, tasted Shanxi millet porridge, and drank Shanxi Fenjiu; along the south cement road, he has also been to Shandong, and compared his drinking capacity with Shandong people.
In the short half-year of Ming Dynasty, he never stopped for a day, trying to understand this huge empire from all aspects.
To this end, he also specially learned Chinese characters and language, and also gave himself a very authentic Chinese name, Ximen Xue. Ximen has the same pronunciation with Spain and Xue. Even though it sounds a bit like a woman's name, Gilt still likes it very much. The Chinese name is Ximen Xue.
In addition, he also shortened his hair, shaved off his beard, put on Ming Dynasty clothes, and even spoke with a Beijing accent.
After washing it clean with hot water heated by briquettes, Gilt habitually went to the teahouse next to the community to have morning tea while listening to the newspaper reader in the teahouse read that day's Ming Dynasty Morning Post.
Through the Ming Dynasty Morning Post, you can learn almost all aspects of detailed information about the Ming Dynasty, which is more comprehensive and accurate than asking and researching it yourself.
"Mr. Ximen, are you still the same?"
Geert is an acquaintance of the teahouse, because he comes from Spain, a distant European country, and his blond hair and blue eyes make everyone remember him at once.
"Same old~"
Geert smiled and nodded. When he came to Daming, he was already used to drinking morning tea. If he didn't drink it for a day, he would have no energy for the whole day.
Soon, a pot of Longjing, a bowl of mutton soup, several steamed buns, and a side of haggis noodles were served. At the same time, the newspaper reader invited by the teahouse had already started reading the newspaper.
While he tasted it carefully, he also held a newspaper and listened to the newspaper reader reading it carefully.
"Crack~"
Mr. Xingmu, who was reading the newspaper, slapped the table and said in a clear and straight voice: "A great victory in the Western Regions. One battle will determine the Western Regions"
"Another great victory in the Western Region!"
Geert looked at the newspaper and couldn't help but sigh.
He still remembered that before the Chinese New Year, the newspapers reported the news of the great victory in the Western Regions. Only a short time had passed since then, and good news came from the Western Regions, about the great victory in the Western Regions.
The Ming army completely defeated the army of the Chagatai Khanate, and even the Khan of the Chagatai Khanate was captured alive.
Gilt looked at it carefully. Because he had just learned Chinese, he didn¡¯t know some words, and it was difficult to understand the meaning of some words. Fortunately, the newspaper reader gave a detailed explanation, and he was able to understand the meaning quickly.
"The Ming Dynasty is really too powerful. One Western Expedition used 200,000 troops, but this is only one-fifth of the total strength of the Ming Dynasty. There are millions of soldiers. This year, they will expand their navy to 200,000 soldiers. Ten thousand."
¡°The Ming Empire was so powerful that one country could sweep across the entire Europe.¡±
Gilt couldn¡¯t help but sigh.
In the past, in his understanding, the powerful countries included France, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire. But now, he feels that compared with the powerful Ming Empire, these are all scum.
¡°Whether it¡¯s Ming¡¯s taxes, military power, force, whether it¡¯s army strength or naval strength, Ming is enough to completely defeat any country he knows.
"Thank God, Spain and Ming are now allies!"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but make a cross on his chest.
Because of the interests of the Americas, Ming Dynasty and Spain reached an agreement, Spain recognized the Ming Dynasty's sovereignty over the Americas, and the two sides joined forces to eliminate all European colonial strongholds in the Americas except Spain.
The Ming Dynasty recognized Spain¡¯s exclusive trading rights with the Ming Dynasty in the Americas. It also recognized that Spain was the most powerful country in Europe and supported Spain in dealing with Portugal and fighting European pirates.
He feels that forming an alliance with the Ming Dynasty is definitely the wisest choice. If such a powerful empire becomes your enemy, it will definitely be a nightmare.
"Look at the current Western Regions and Central Asia. The powerful khanates established by the descendants of the Golden Family were all destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, and even the descendants of the Golden Family were captured alive.
"The Western Region is already very close to Central Asia. Further west, it can already border the Ottoman Empire. Further west, you can reach Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Black Sea. If the Ming Dynasty continues to fight there, this land trade route will be It can be opened up, but then it will not be a good thing for us in Spain."
Looking at the newspaper carefully, it even published the Western Regions and Central Asia. This printing technology is too advanced.
After analyzing the map, he soon realized a problem. The land trade routes might be opened up by the Ming people.
I drank my morning tea very slowly, it took a full hour.
"Child, check out~"
??Fold the newspaper carefully. This newspaper will be sent back to Europe.
"Mr. Ximen, eighty articles in total!"
The waiter hurriedly came over and said.
¡°There¡¯s no need to look for the extra ones, I¡¯ll give them to you as a reward~¡±
Gilt took out his money bag, took out a banknote and put it on the table.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Ximen for the reward!"
The waiter looked at the banknotes on the table and immediately thanked him happily. It was a banknote of 100 yuan, the latest small-denomination banknote issued by the First Bank of Ming Dynasty, with a face value.
Ordinary people¡¯s lives are still mainly based on copper coins. The value of silver is too high, so the First Bank of Ming Dynasty also withdrew new banknotes.
Because of the good credit of the First Bank of Ming Dynasty, banknotes with face values ??of ten cash, twenty cash, fifty cash, and one hundred cash were quickly circulated throughout the Ming Dynasty.
The banknote that Gilt put on the table just now was a one hundred cash banknote, which was a full reward of twenty cash for the child. It was still quite generous.
"The life of the people of Ming Dynasty is so rich!"
"Everything you buy is measured in terms of one penny or one penny, but your income is calculated in terms of silver. There are so many things that you can buy with one tael of silver."
Gilt walked out of the teahouse, looked at the bustling streets, and sighed.
??If you understand the Ming Dynasty in detail, you will lament the wealth of the Ming Dynasty people. Calculated according to the Beijing-Tianjin area, the income of ordinary people has now reached the standard of four taels of silver per month.
The income is high, but the prices are very low.
Marine fish from Tianjin costs a few cents per catty, rice from Nanyang costs a few cents per catty, and flour from Liaodong still costs a few cents per catty.
In Europe, white sugar, which only nobles could enjoy, in the Ming Dynasty, only cost less than a hundred cents per pound, which was very cheap.
?????????????????????????????????????????????:?????????????????????????????????????: Before the price of wool and cotton did not increase, the price of a piece of cotton cloth was only a few dozen yuan.
¡°Compared to their hometown of Spain, the people of Ming Dynasty simply lived in paradise.
Look at the bustling streets in front of you and the high-rise buildings on both sides of the streets. The streets here are clean and tidy, and there are people cleaning them every day. The Ming Dynasty people here are gorgeously dressed and everyone has rosy complexions. When everyone talks, the most talked about thing is National affairs.
??Everyone is discussing the great victory in the Western Regions, and the Ming Dynasty¡¯s announcement of relocating millions of people to the Western Regions. There are also discussions about going to the Western Regions to grow cotton, growing sugar cane in Nanyang, going to the West to do business, building private colonies, etc.
Everything in front of him made Gilt feel that this is what a truly great empire should look like.
The country is prosperous and strong, has a strong military, and is victorious in every battle. All the countries in the four directions have been beaten and surrendered to it; the country's monarch has strong power, is full of pioneering spirit, is diligent in national government affairs, and serves the people of the empire. The ministers in the court are shrewd. He is capable and dedicated to assisting the monarch in handling national affairs.
The people of this country have abundant food and clothing, and more importantly, they are full of love and loyalty to this country in spirit. A kind of pride and self-confidence makes every foreigner who comes to Ming Dynasty feel dirty. This is what a great empire has. noble nation.
??Confidence, self-improvement, hard work, intelligence, loyal to one's country and king, and proud of one's own civilization.
