It is worth mentioning that because the Ming Dynasty has been expanding wildly to the Western Regions over the years, Xi'an, which is more convenient to communicate with the Western Regions, has been revived and has become an important hub for the Ming Dynasty to communicate with the outside continents.

In order to facilitate the transportation of military and civilian materials, many high-end and sophisticated technology industries in the empire are also concentrated here.

Therefore, Xi'an has become a metropolis like Suzhou.

In addition, Chengdu and Chongqing are also more prosperous than before.

Moreover, because the Ming Dynasty opened up mainland transportation by conquering the entire Eurasian continent, and as the railways built to the Western Regions and controlled areas became larger and larger, the cities mentioned above, which were originally within the imperial continent had the fastest economic growth in recent years.

So much so that the Ming Dynasty began to show an economic pattern of both the East and the East and the South and the North and the South.

Of course, due to the relationship between latitude and rainfall, the population is mainly distributed in the east.

However, as the empire's population continues to grow, the number of Han people in the west and even overseas is still increasing.

After all, the eastern part of the Ming Empire, especially in the Jiangnan area, is too carefree, no matter what you do, you can rely on your country's strong scientific and technological strength and economic strength to make a fortune. Therefore, many people have begun to change their ideas and take the initiative to go out.

There are quite a lot of people coming to the Central Plains and going to the Western Regions.

The camel bells in the Hexi Corridor area have never stopped.

For the Ming people at this time, the world west of the Ural Mountains and the Ural River was the old world, a world dominated by agriculture and supplemented by industry.

There was an old world where the original clan society of the Ming Dynasty was mainly based on agriculture and trade, but the degree of industrialization was not high, and the Han people began to establish Confucian civilization in the past.

In this old world, because the Han people were high-ranking people in the past, they could also use the white locals as slaves, and the court also exempted the Han people there to promote the Han people moving westward, so the Han people here lived a traditional life as a landlord.

In the east, that is, the Ming Dynasty, because of its high degree of industrialization and the Han people, the four peoples are equal in political status and are regarded as a new world that can grow freely because of their high degree of industrialization and the world dominated by Han people.

In this new world, because the Ming Dynasty court allowed the large amount of wealth to be obtained from the outside world mainly flowed into the science and technology and infrastructure fields, the fastest growing wealth of the empire were scientific researchers and technical workers.

So much so that scientific researchers and technical workers have become increasingly popular professions among local Chinese people.

The idea of ​​becoming an official with good academic performance is gradually disappearing due to the changes in reality, and more and more people are ideally a scientist.

Wang Xichan, who was originally from a prominent family, gave up his intention to enter the official career and chose to become a professor of physics at the Central University of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, he is very rich now.

Early in the morning of this day, under the service of Hu's slave, he put on his robes and carried a bird cage, and discussed physics issues while teasing birds. This was a habit he developed over the years.

The way he went out was to take the most luxurious internal combustion engine car nowadays.

And he has his own special driver.

When he arrived at the Central University Hall, he went to the academic lecture hall. After a while of greetings with the teachers and students here, he discussed the issue of light with the teachers and students here.

For a moment, everyone started to discuss.

“I think light is a particle.”

Newton, who was already a student at the university, expressed his own views.

Huygens, who came from the Ming Dynasty and studied here, expressed his own opinion: "I think light is wave."

Other teachers and students have also expressed their own views.

And they all argued with each other in a very intense way.

At this time, Wang Xichang proposed: "It is wrong to think that light is a wave, or to think that light is a particle."

Everyone looked at Wang Xichan in shock.

Wang Xichang said: "Light is both a wave and a particle, and it has the duality of wave-particle."

Everyone was in a big uproar after hearing this.

"Quiet! Quiet! Listen to my words."

Wang Xichang shouted loudly.

Benefiting from the support of the Ming Emperor, such fierce academic discussions often occur in the Ming Dynasty today.

Basically it's available every day.

Therefore, Newton, who was the founder of classical physics in history, soon fell in love with it after coming to the Ming Dynasty.

Newton had to admit that the academic atmosphere here is strong and there is no religious restrictions on scientific research. The key is that it is very rich and the research funding provided to researchers is very high.

The top nobles of the Swiss states, such as Sennard and Czech, signed the signing of the inhumane administrative orders for the civilians of their country before the arrival of the Ming army. Therefore, even if they chose to surrender before the arrival of the Ming army, they were counted after the succession was included. Like the Western mercenaries who had their right hands cut off and lost their combat effectiveness in the Ningxi Kingdom because they participated in oppressing the Han people, they were castrated and deprived of human rights. They were tattooed on their faces and were taken to the Ming Dynasty and sold as slaves.

Therefore, Sennard was able to come to the Ming Dynasty with a disability and saw the Ming Empire, which had entered the electrical age.

"My God! Why did they paste such exquisite porcelain on the flower platform next to the street! This Ming Dynasty is so rich and noble!"

When Sennad got off the train station, he was on the streets of Xi'an. He was shocked when he saw a flower table with tiled stickers.

But he didn't know about ceramic tiles yet, so he regarded ceramic tiles as porcelain.

Moreover, porcelain was indeed a very expensive luxury for Westerners during this period.

So, Sennard found this incredible.

"Yes!"

"If I don't see it with my own eyes, I won't know!"

"What I don't understand is that since the Ming Dynasty is so rich, as Marco Polo's travel record says, gold is everywhere and silk is wrapped in trees, but why are they still so greedy and insist on taking away the wealth accumulated by our European countries over the past hundred years!"

Zihege echoed.

"Don't you understand this principle? The richer you are, the more greedy you are. Isn't it the same when we were aristocrats in Switzerland?"

Sennard replied.

"Yes, and I don't want others to be rich."

Zhege replied.

"So now Europe has been turned into a big farm by these Orientals. They only allow the people there to farm honestly and consume industrial products from His Ming Kingdom!"

Sennard replied.

For a moment, Sennard saw a white man walking over him in a rickshaw.

Then, Sennard also saw a white man walking over with a rickshaw.

"rickshaw!"

Then, Sennad heard a big belly of Han man walking out from the gate of a park behind him.

The big belly Han man was waving and shouting: "Rickshaw!"

Then, the Han man glanced at Sennad and Zhege.

Sennad read the meaning of contempt from the Han people's eyes, which touched him very much. He did not expect that he was a marquis and nobleman in Zurich, Switzerland, and now he came to this Ming Dynasty and was really discriminated against by the Han people here as slaves.

At this time, a white man pulling a rickshaw beside Sennard hurriedly rushed to the big-bellied Han man, actively ran to the big-bellied Han man, squeezed out a flattering smile and asked, "Master, where are you going?"

"Go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."

The Han people replied.

The white man who was pulling the rickshaw agreed quickly, and when he saw Sennad and Zhege blocked the car and pulled it closer to the Han people, he scolded:

"I'm blind! A tattoo slave who is not even a free man is not as noble as me. I don't know how to hold my head a little bit and look everywhere! Didn't I see the Han master want to take a car? I don't know how to give up. Do you want the Han master to walk a few more steps because of you?"

Sennard, Zhege were stunned for a moment, and then understood and stepped aside.

Then, Sennad saw the white man pulling the rickshaw and pulling the Han man away quickly.

Sennard was very sad to see this scene.

He didn't expect that the Han people would discriminate against him, but even ordinary coachmen who were white people would discriminate against him.

Zihege felt angry and couldn't help but say, "When did I fall to this point? I pulled a cart for the Han people like a cattle and a horse! I even discriminated against each other!"

"Everything is caused by civilization's inability to catch up."

Sennard sighed.

There were many white people pulling rickshaws in the Ming Dynasty, especially in Xi'an.

Because this is the closest super metropolis to the Western Regions, basically the white people who came to the Ming Dynasty to make a living will come here first to survive.

And because of the developed industry and trade here, there are many wealthy Han people.

But not everyone likes driving, and many people do like the feeling of getting on people who enjoy others working hard to pull cars, so the rickshaw business is very prosperous.

The people who drive rickshaws are basically white, because the most white people come from the Western Regions.

In addition, Han merchants who are engaged in rickshaw business also like to use white people with cheaper labor. No one dares to use Han people, as they will be scolded without compatriots and may even be punished.

Next, Sennard and Zhege were taken to the animal market by the officers who were escorted.

Because they have been deprived of human rights, they are equivalent to animals and are arranged to be sold in the animal market.

"A great shame! It's a great shame. One day, my great Swiss nobleman will be sold by these Oriental people as animals, just like these pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep!"

Zhege was extremely angry and complained to Sennard.

Sennad endured the terrible smell in the zoo and said, "I just hope someone will buy me away now."

"Now I need a coachman who specializes in driving a rickshaw for me. Who would you like to do it? Two yuan in silver coins a month, including food and accommodation, and you can bargain!"
