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 also been revived and has become an important hub for the Ming Dynasty to communicate with the outside continent.In order to facilitate the transportation of military and civilian materials, many of the empire's high-tech industries are also concentrated here.Therefore, Xi'an has become a metropolis like Suzhou.In addition, Chengdu and Chongqing are more prosperous than before.And because the Ming Dynasty opened up the continental transportation by conquering the entire Eurasian continent, and with the construction of railways to the Western Regions and the increasing area under its control, the cities mentioned above, which were originally within the imperial continent, have experienced the fastest economic growth in recent years.As a result, the Ming Dynasty began to present an economic pattern in which both east and west are expensive and north and south are balanced.Of course, because of the relationship between latitude and rainfall, the population is still mainly distributed in the east.However, as the population of the empire continued to grow, the number of Han Chinese in the west and even overseas was also increasing.After all, in the eastern part of the Ming Empire, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, no matter what you do, it is too much, as long as you go out, you can rely on your country's strong scientific and technological strength and economic strength to go sideways and make a windfall, so there are still many people who have begun to change their concepts and take the initiative to go out.There are also many people who come to the Central Plains and go to the Western Regions.The camel bells in the Hexi Corridor have never stopped.For the Ming Dynasty 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, it was an old world dominated by agriculture and trade, with a low degree of industrialization, and began to emerge with the establishment of Confucian civilization by the Han people in the past, and the original clan society of the Ming Dynasty.In this old world, because the Han people used to be high-class people, they could also enslave the local white people, and the imperial court promoted the westward migration of the Han people and exempted the Han people who went there, so the Han people here lived a traditional landlord life.In the east, the Ming Dynasty, because of the high degree of industrialization and the predominantly Han world, the four peoples were in equal political status and were regarded as a new world where they could grow freely.In this new world, because the Ming Dynasty allowed a large amount of wealth to flow mainly to the field of science and technology and infrastructure, the fastest growth in the empire's wealth was still scientific researchers and skilled workers.As a result, researchers and skilled workers have become more and more popular occupations for Hermes-Epitek.The concept of learning and excellence is gradually disappearing due to the change of reality, and more and more people are idealizing to become scientists.Wang Xiyan, who was originally from a prestigious family, gave up his intention to enter the official career and chose to become a physics professor at the Central University Hall of the Ming Dynasty.Moreover, he is now very wealthy.Early in the morning of this day, he was served by the slave maid of Hu, dressed in robes, carried a birdcage, and discussed physics problems while teasing the birds, which was a habit he had developed over the years.And the way he gets out of the house is in the most luxurious internal combustion engine car of the moment.And he has his own dedicated driver.When he arrived at the Central University Hall, he went to the academic lecture hall, and after a while of greeting with the teachers and students who were already here, he discussed the issue of light with the teachers and students here.All of a sudden, the crowd began to discuss."
I think light is particles."
Newton, who was already a student at the university, offered his opinion.Huygens, who was from the Netherlands and studied here, put forward his opinion: "I think light is a wave. ”Other teachers and students also put forward their own opinions.And they all argue with each other very fiercely.At this time, Wang Xixian put forward: "It is wrong to think that light is a wave, or that light is a particle. ”Everyone looked at Wang Xixian in astonishment.Wang Xiyi said: "Light is both a wave and a particle, and it has wave-particle duality. ”When everyone heard this, there was an uproar."
Quiet!
Be quiet!
Listen to me. ”Wang Xixian shouted loudly.Benefiting from the support of the Ming Emperor, heated academic discussions like this often occur in the Ming Dynasty today.Basically every day.Therefore, Newton, who was the founder of classical physics in history, quickly liked it after coming to Daming.Newton had to admit that there was a strong academic atmosphere here, and there were no religious restrictions on scientific research, and the key point was that it was very wealthy, and the research funds for researchers were very high.The top nobles of the Swiss cantons, Sennard and Tshoege, because they supported and participated in the signing, carried out an administrative order for the inhumane massacre of their own civilians before the arrival of the Ming army, so even if they chose to submit to the Ming army before the arrival of the Ming army, after the merit of submission was counted, it was still the same as before, in the Ningxi Kingdom, because of the oppression of the Han people, the right hand was cut off and lost combat effectiveness, was sentenced to palace punishment, deprived of human rights, and tattooed on the face, and was escorted to the Ming Dynasty, and will be sold as slaves.As a result, Sennard was able to come to the Ming Dynasty with a disability and see the Ming Empire, which has now entered the electric age."
My God!
Why would they put such fine porcelain on the flower stands next to the street!
This Ming Kingdom is so rich!
”As soon as Sennard got off the train station, he was on the street of Xi'an, and he was shocked to see the tiled flower stand.It's just that he doesn't know about tiles yet, so he treats them as porcelain.Moreover, porcelain was indeed a very expensive luxury for Westerners during this period.So, Sennard thought it was incredible."
Yes!""
If you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't know!""
It's just that what I don't understand is that since the Ming Kingdom is so rich, as Marco Polo's travels said, gold is everywhere, and silk is wrapped in trees, why is it still so greedy to take away the wealth accumulated by my European countries for more than a hundred years!"
Zhege echoed."
Don't you understand this truth, the richer you are, the more greedy you are, isn't it the same when we were still nobles in Switzerland?"
Sennard replied."
yes, and I don't want others to be rich."
Tsz and Ge replied."
So now Europe has been turned into a big farm by these Orientals, and they only allow our people there to cultivate the land honestly and consume the industrial products from his Ming country!"
Sennard replied.At one point, Sennard saw a white man walking past him with a rickshaw in tow.Then, Sennard also saw a white man pulling a rickshaw on the opposite side."
Rickshaw!"
Then, Sennard heard a pot-bellied Han man walking out of a park gate behind him.This pot-bellied Han man is waving and shouting, "Rickshaw!"
”Then, the Han man also glanced at Sennard and Cihege.Sennard read the meaning of disdain from the eyes of the Han people, which touched him very much, he didn't expect that he was also a marquis nobleman in Zurich, Switzerland, and now he came to this Ming Dynasty to be really discriminated against by the Han people here as slaves.At this time, the white man pulling the rickshaw next to Sennard hurriedly rushed in front of the other white coachmen, and actively ran towards the pot-bellied Han man, squeezing out a flattering smile and asking, "This lord, where are you going?"
”"Go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."
The Han replied.The white man pulling the rickshaw hurriedly agreed, and when he saw that Sennard and Cihege were blocking the car and pulling it closer to the Han man, he also scolded: "Blind!
A tattoo slave who is not even a free man, he is not as noble as Lao Tzu, and he doesn't know how to put his head against the point, and he looks around!
Didn't you see that the Han man wanted to take the car, and I didn't know to let him, and I still wanted the Han man to walk a few more steps because of you?
”Sennard and Zhege were stunned, but quickly understood, and stepped aside.Then Sennard saw the white man pulling the rickshaw pulling the Han man away quickly.Sennard was very sad to see this.He didn't expect that the Han people would discriminate against themselves, even if they were ordinary coachmen who were whites, they would also discriminate against themselves.Tszheger, on the other hand, felt angry and couldn't help but say, "When did I become a white man to this point!"
He pulled a cart for the Han people like a cow and a horse!
They even discriminate against each other!
”"Everything is due to the fact that civilization cannot catch up."
Sennard sighed.There are a lot of white people in Damingla rickshaws, especially in the Xi'an area.Because this is the closest super metropolis to the Western Regions, basically the white people who come to Daming to seek a livelihood will come here first to survive.And because of the developed industry and trade, there are many rich Han people.But not everyone likes to drive, and many people do like the feeling of enjoying the hard work of others, so the rickshaw business is booming.And the people who pull the rickshaws are basically white, because the most white people come from the Western Regions.In addition, Han businessmen who engage in rickshaw business also like to use white people with cheaper labor, and no one dares to use Han people, so they will be scolded for not having compatriots, and even will be punished.Next, Sennard and Tszhege were escorted to the animal market by their officials.Because they are now deprived of their human rights, they are equivalent to animals and are arranged to sell in animal markets."
Shame!
What a great shame that my dignified Swiss nobles will one day be sold like animals by these Orientals, just like these pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep!
”Tz and Ger were so angry that they complained to Senard.Sennard endured the foul smell of the zoo and said, "I just want someone to buy me out of now." ”"Now I need a driver who pulls a rickshaw for me, who of you is willing, two silver coins a month, including food and lodging, you can negotiate!"
At this time, the Han man, who had two large iron beads in his hand and looked like a tiger's back, walked up to Sennard and Cihege and asked."
Rickshaw driver, I don't want to be a rickshaw driver!"
Tszhege immediately refused.Sennard said, "I do!"
”Tszhoge glanced at Sennard in dismay.Sennard glanced at him, "I just want to get out of here." ”At this time, Gayuk, who was not far from Senard, suddenly shouted: "I am also willing, I can accept one dollar of silver coins a month!"
”Sennard glanced at Gayuk in dismay."
I don't want money!
Just pack food and lodging. ”At this time, Tszhege suddenly replied.Sennard glanced at Zhoeg again in amazement."
Thank you for reminding me that this is not a place for people. ”Eventually, the Han Chinese bought Cihege.
