Chapter 1398 The big marriage of Ping Na and Zhu Zilong (2)!
Any indigenous people who came to the Chinese base for the first time, or the previous few times, would be deeply shocked by the giant city walls as majestic as high as mountains and as flat as mirrors!
If you, those who have experienced reinforced concrete tall buildings, can chat and laugh calmly and remain calm about the ancient standard magnificent city in front of you.
Then, it will be difficult for the old haters in another world to keep their hearts calm.
Of course, this was also intentional for Zhu Zilong.
It just so happens that the domestic production capacity of cement and steel bars is too high, and the price of vegetables is everywhere. If he doesn't build the city wall a little taller, he will be sorry for the endless spending of property.
From ancient times to the present, all civilizations like to build huge city walls and cities, and there is a reason.
Just like the Ming Empire!
Because, in the era of backward productivity and underdeveloped education, for those people in ignorant states, all giant artificial buildings that seem magnificent can cause great visual impact and give them extreme shock.
Then, let them feel a strong sense of awe in their hearts.
This is also the main reason why so many rulers from ancient times have been keen on consuming huge manpower and material resources while their productivity is still underdeveloped, and have built some seemingly useless giant projects.
The reason is similar to the pyramids in Egypt, the Great Wall and the Forbidden City in China, and the big guys from other countries.
Because once such a huge building is built, the building itself alone can bring a huge deterrent effect to the people and can play a good role in consolidating the rule.
To put it bluntly, it means that life is not as comfortable as uncomfortable as it is, and these things have been around for a long time and can be forever compared to it!
When ordinary people in the face of such giant buildings, while amazed at the hugeness of these buildings, they will also feel their infinite insignificance, the greatness and irresistibility of the ruler, and subtly, firmly engraved in the deepest part of the soul.
For example, now, there are many local people from other worlds, staring at the Chinese base in a daze, devoutly, and even involuntarily want to bow their heads and worship.
Obviously, Zhu Zilong’s plan was successful.
Of course, these things are of little use to Chinese people. Because modern people have never seen anything?
With the issuance of various orders from Zhu Zilong, all stores inside and outside the bases have been forced to have a 20% discount on price discounts in the past few days.
When everyone came to the city, carriages and crowds filled with carts were frequently in and out here, and business trips in various clothes were chattering and clamoring for each other.
He really looks so extraordinary!
For most out-of-towners who come to the city to go to market and shop, this is simply paradise.
Here, all goods and services are for sale, and anyone can sell their goods in the market. Then he has a sum of money in his arms, and you are buying goods, and you are enjoying it. It can satisfy you here!
The bases are divided into outer cities, middle cities, and inner cities. Ordinary businessmen can only do business in outer cities, sign long-term contracts with good credit, and enter Zhongcheng with stores. High-end Chinese businessmen are in inner cities!
Of course, it is OK for Chinese businessmen to go to the outer city.
At this moment, in the "parking lot" outside the palace, various gold-inlaid and silver-inlaid, and gorgeous carriages have become a scenic spot.
Suddenly, an extended red flag car drove over and parked in the most eye-catching position in the parking lot.
The driver quickly jumped out of the car and opened the door. The court chief in charge of the reception immediately ran over to greet him. The armed police soldier stood around the red flag car with guns as a protection to prevent those curious people from doing anything to the car.
When Zhu Zilong got out of the car, everyone (excluding the middle-aged and Chinese) bent down to him to perform special imperial etiquette.
And in the palace, in Pingna's room.
A happy laughter kept coming from the room, where Queen Pingna, who was already wearing a wedding dress, chatted happily with the female knights of the past. Today, these female knights will be her bridesmaids!
Over the past year, most of these female knights have been married, and most of the married couples are middle-aged officials.
It is relatively happy to be united with the Chinese. After all, marrying into China means that they can live a modern 21st century life such as watching TV, using wifi, eating Chinese food, etc.
This is equivalent to making an ancient man similar to the Ming Dynasty suddenly live a modern life one day. This huge difference in life is simply a huge sense of happiness from the sky.
Therefore, no female knights feel that they are in a political marriage, and they are all satisfied with their marriage.
Anyway, if it were Zhu Zilong, if he could live a life without a computer or unable to access the Internet, he would be unhappy even if he was an emperor.
While laughing, Queen Pingna looked at the sisters beside her, but her mind was drifting far away.
As the head of a country, she thought about far more things than ordinary people, otherwise she would be an unqualified emperor.
The empire has indeed changed now. With the main army and outstanding generals almost completely destroyed, the empire has become accustomed to the current life that cannot be separated from the Chinese.
The people's lives have been much better, and the cheap grain purchased from China in the treasury is piled up. (The food in China is always unable to be sold, and now I finally found a sucker, and both sides think they have made money!)
Now the Imperial Team is also equipped with a large number of cold weapons made in China. If you don’t care about the squadron and look at the world, the Atlanta Emperor’s weapons are now the best in the world.
The Imperial Navy also used the advanced shipbuilding technology provided by China to build dozens of large wooden ships with old-style artillery on them, and was looking for targets to attack.
It is said that we should cooperate with the Chinese to carry out the Age of Discovery!
A group of new aristocrats with "new consciousness" who were educated in the Atlanta Empire also appeared in China, and made some contributions to the development of the empire's productivity and were called "new aristocrats" by the outside world.
Although it cannot shake the huge traditional forces of the entire old nobles, this is already a good start.
However, Pingna's woman's sixth sense has a feeling that in this prosperous atmosphere, she has actually been undercurrents and murderous intent.
There is a potential threat that is developing silently, but I have never found the problem.
What worries Empress Pingna even more is that with the changes in society and the emergence of new ideas, the religious forces, which were originally relatively weak in the empire, began to take the opportunity to develop and expand.
A series of examples have emerged, such as the White Lotus Sect, the Ming Cult, the Gods Sect, the Chinese Cult, and other messy new God Sects.
Not only civilians, but many nobles even began to be confused and believed in the sect, while some scheming nobles began to secretly unite the sect, but fortunately they were not yet willing to kill themselves to attack the Chinese!
I don’t know if I know I can’t beat it or I’m conspiring and making some tricks?
