One Emperor through the Ages: Starting from Infinite Copying

Chapter 238

Huang Taiji: They are also deeply attracted by mahjong.

The English businessman on the side, in the past two months, has a new understanding of Daming.

Looking at these goods, he now felt that the Daming Empire was the real paradise on earth.

As for the British Empire, compared with the Ming Empire, it is not even worthy of carrying shoes.

This life of low prices in the Daming Empire is called life.

Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, Fan Wencheng, spent twenty yuan at this time and bought all kinds of food and gadgets.

They know that the last three days, if they don't enjoy it, it's too late.

The English merchant was on the side, looking at a few people with leg irons, very curious.

"Why do you still come out shopping with your leg irons?"

"Hey, don't go near them!" , Jin Yiwei shouted loudly on the side.

Looking at the brocade guard in front of him, the English merchant was shocked again.

These brocade guards were all wearing stainless steel plate armor, and the weapons in their hands turned out to be extremely expensive flintlock guns.

It's really hell, I don't know if I don't come to Daming, but when I come to Daming, I know that the Daming Empire is so strong.

"Junye, can you introduce us to meet His Majesty the Emperor Daming, we want to trade with Daming!"

"You apply by yourself, how can we introduce you!"

"Go to the Great 957 Ming Royal Reception Office, where you can apply to meet His Majesty the Emperor!"

Huang Taiji and Geng Zhongming were very curious.

"Lord Jinyiwei, in this way, anyone can apply to meet the Chongzhen Emperor?"

Jin Yiwei nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty can receive businessmen from other countries who want to meet the emperor, or Daming citizens, on the second, twelfth, and twenty-second days of the first month of each month!" "

Huang Taiji couldn't believe his ears, Chongzhen actually set aside three days a month to meet with Daming citizens and businessmen from other countries who wanted to meet him?

This has not appeared in all dynasties, but now it actually appears?

"Emperor Daming, aren't you afraid that the citizens of Daming will assassinate him?"

"Assassination? Are you sure? We, the citizens of the Daming Empire, untouchables, and the good life of all people were brought to us by His Majesty, are we fools? "

"Look at this cotton coat, this brocade coat, this gorgeous dress!"

"It's all for ten to fifty dollars a piece!"

"In the past, we couldn't buy a new dress for a year, but now we can buy a new dress at will for a day's wages, and we are kicked by a donkey to assassinate the emperor?"

"If anyone dares to assassinate our emperor, we must eat his flesh!" , several Daming citizens who were shopping for clothes next to them shouted angrily.

Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming hurriedly took things out of the royal grain shop.

Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng followed.

"I wonder where we're going now?"

"Three days, only three days! Let's go and enjoy the life of the people on the outskirts of Jingshi! "

"I don't believe it, the Daming Empire is also very good in their countryside!"

Fan Wencheng's voice is very loud, after all, the countryside of Daqing is simply like a primitive tribe.

If it were not for occupying the houses of the people of Daming in Liaodong, it is estimated that they would still be living in grass huts.

Even so, many houses in the countryside of the Qing Dynasty were straw huts, and only the houses of the landlords were brick houses.

Instead, they wanted to see if the prosperity of this Jingshi of the Daming Empire was a false prosperity.

Huang Taiji and his group of four came to the outskirts of Jingshi in a carriage.

In these places, even in the countryside, concrete roads are being paved.

Seeing this scene, Huang Taiji was as uncomfortable as eating.

"Isn't it? Does he Chongzhen Emperor have too much money and has nowhere to spend? "

"What concrete roads are built in these remote villages?"

Huang Taiji's voice was very loud, and the coachman driving the carriage on the side said with a smile: "If you don't build roads, how can you pay the citizens of the Daming Empire?" "

"This Majesty has built a lot of infrastructure for Daming with work, killing two birds with one stone!"

Hearing the coachman's words, Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng with an incredulous expression.

"Isn't it? Even a coachman can understand these truths? "

The coachman had a black line on his face: "We usually have to go to school in the evening and study for an hour!" The literacy class opened by His Majesty, we go to study every night (ceaf)! "

"Elementary school, junior high school, the school is vacant at night, and we are arranged to study the knowledge of an hour in the evening!"

"Now the people of Daming, the people of every village, can know a few words!"

Fan Wencheng was surprised again and looked at Huang Taiji.

"Your Majesty, how many people are literate in our Daqing?"

Huang Taiji's face suddenly became gloomy, and he was a little angry: "We Daqing, Jurchen people, where are so many literate, they are all coated slaves and Han Baqi caught in Liaodong, some people can read!" (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

"One million people of the Great Qing, the literate are entrusted with heavy tasks, which is less than 10,000 people!"

Huang Taiji's words completely made the coachman not calm.

"Isn't it? Didn't you set up schools for people to study in literacy classes? "

"It's still good for us Emperor Daming, and we build roads and let the people learn to read, and this learning is no longer the privilege of those landlords and the children of the Shi clan!"

The coachman was very proud, and it was simply the luck of the citizens of Daming to have such a good emperor.

Huang Taiji and Geng Zhongming, who still did not believe in evil spirits, came to a remote rural area dozens of miles outside of Jingshi.

When looking at the rural houses, all of which were green brick glazed tile houses, Huang Taiji had a skeptical expression.

"Hell, the countryside of Daming is also so rich?"

"Don't fuss! We, the Emperor of Daming, asked the citizens of Daming to transport green bricks and glazed tiles to build houses by themselves! "

"Daming citizens in the countryside can build houses on their homesteads!"

"The previous houses were demolished, and green brick glazed tile houses were built, and the green brick glazed tiles were all provided by the imperial court, everyone only needs to contribute and build their own houses!"

"You see, the people themselves hire horses, transport green bricks and cement, and glazed tiles to the countryside!"

"The Daming Imperial Court also subsidized each household with five hundred Daming coins, which was used for the labor expenses of hiring horses and building houses!"

The coachman's words only shocked Huang Taiji's heart.

"Can't you spend the money of the Daming Imperial Court?"

The question raised by Huang Taiji made the coachman scratch his head.

"I don't know about that!"

"However, His Majesty uses internal materials and money, and has nothing to do with the treasury!"

"The treasury heard that only commercial taxes and customs duties are now collected."

"Agricultural taxes or something, they have long been abolished!"

"We have lived for decades, and these two years are the happiest and most beautiful days for our people."

In the distance, many farmers were working in the fields, all wearing cotton clothes and brocade clothes.

The whole way down, Huang Taiji they did not find a single person wearing coarse cloth and linen.

"Fan Wencheng, Daming is rich in the city, and the countryside is also so rich, how rich is Chongzhen?"

Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming were on the side, looking at these farmers with envy.

The life of these peasants was much more comfortable than the life they had as kings in the Great Qing Dynasty.

I really regret it, I regret surrendering the Great Qing.
