Chapter 489 Group Wedding
The talent issue is still one of the main problems plaguing the Chinese people.
Intelligent people still don’t want to go overseas.
People who can read will not be any worse off even if they are poor.
If you want to persuade them to go to a place like Ryukyu, it will be even harder than going to heaven.
…
In Dinghai City, the newly opened Ryukyu Hall attracted a lot of people's attention.
But everyone just wants to see something new. This is the Kaifu Port, and there are many foreigners on the street. It is not surprising that there is an additional Ryukyu Hall.
Chen Deli stood on the upper floor of the Ryukyu Hall, looking at the guests coming in and out below, as well as the clerks and passers-by wearing thin and old clothes on the street, and he was in a trance for a moment.
He turned out to be a little boy.
Maybe it’s because the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the streets are busier than before.
Some larger shops will decorate their shops, such as hanging red lanterns.
The Ryukyu Hall is not only a guild hall, but also a trading house.
The museum has launched New Year candy gift boxes, which are very popular.
Everyone knows that Ryukyu is rich in sucrose, but they never knew that this sugar can be eaten in so many ways.
For the first time, these Central Plains people discovered that people from other countries had already lived such a refined life.
There was a waiter standing at the door of the Ryukyu Hall, wearing a traditional Ryukyu costume, which was actually very similar to a Ming Dynasty round-neck shirt, but few people wore this kind of clothing in the Qing Dynasty.
In the past, when ethnic minorities ruled the Central Plains, they eventually adopted Han attire.
The Manchus and Qing Dynasties were not like this. They drastically changed the Han family's clothes.
The waiter was holding a bamboo basket filled with candies.
As long as children pass by the Ryukyu Hall, they can get a piece.
This quickly caused a large number of children to gather in front of the Ryukyu Hall.
These children include children from ordinary families and wandering beggars.
The children's laughter made the front of the museum lively.
"Commander, you are going back tomorrow, please help me carry something home." A young man walked up behind Chen Deli with a smile.
His name is Xu Guochuan, and he is the person in charge of the Dinghai Ryukyu Hall. Together with Chen Deli, he went north from Fuzhou and founded the Ryukyu Hall.
"Of course it's no problem, Guo Chuan, what good things did you buy for your wife?" Chen Deli said with a smile. Xu Guo Chuan's words reminded him that he was going back soon and had to prepare some gifts for Cuicui and his family.
"Hi... Mr. Chen, you know I usually don't spend money. We have saved all my salary. I didn't want to celebrate the New Year, so I bought a few pieces of cloth and a bag of tea for my wife at home."
"Xu Guochuan, do you miss home?" Chen Deli asked.
"I think about it, of course I do, but we will only be here for a few months, and we have to finish our errands. The head of state pays us a salary, and he does not ask us to guard the house."
"Yes." Chen Deli sighed in his heart, less than a year.
Dong Liang led 400 of them to establish a large force covering hundreds of thousands of people, controlled the entire vassal state, and established an army and navy of reasonable size.
If Chen Deli relied on himself to do such a thing, he would never be able to do it in eight lifetimes.
At this time, a staff member from the hall came over and said: "Chief, there is a young man with a woman and several half-year-old children in the hall asking to see him. He gave this."
Chen Deli took the paper with the official document sample and his pupils shrank.
This turned out to be a letter of introduction from a Chinese ethnic group. Chen Deli suddenly remembered Dong Liang's instructions before leaving.
"Hurry and arrange the guests to the guest room in the backyard." Chen Deli ordered.
In the Ryukyu Hall, a handsome-looking young scholar wearing a blue shirt stood with his hands behind his back.
Beside him is a dignified and virtuous mature woman.
"Huipu, we have come to the wrong place, right? Isn't this the guild hall of the vassal state? How could Taofu go to be an official in the vassal state?" The woman looked around carefully and asked cautiously.
"Don't worry, eldest sister, that's what the letter from my brother-in-law said, asking us to find the Ryukyu Hall. Originally we were going to the Ryukyu Hall in Fuzhou, but we met here, which saved us from continuing to run south. In this way, maybe we can I can reunite with my brother-in-law before the end of the year.”
"Well, my sister doesn't understand either, so it's up to you. Your brother-in-law can't settle down, he just likes to toss." The woman said with some complaints.
"Sister, my brother-in-law is a man with great ambitions. This time he met the Ming Lord and found the goal of his struggle."
"Just like the candies in the hands of Yaya and the others, do you think this can be made by ordinary Fanbang?" Zhao Liewen said, pointing to the lollipop in his niece's hand.
Only when civilization reaches a certain level can it make things that meet its basic needs more and more sophisticated.
If China didn't have five thousand years of culture, would it be possible to produce so many delicacies?
And those Westerners have only just come out of the state of eating raw meat and drinking blood, so they turn over and over again, roasting, boiling and frying.
"And eldest sister, have you noticed that most of the people in this Ryukyu Hall are actually Chinese?" Zhao Liewen said again.
As soon as he came in, he saw that this place was actually a place selling sheep's meat.
Moreover, when Zhao Liewen took out the letter of introduction that he carried with him just now, the other party was obviously a little excited.
He had read the "Letter to the Chinese Compatriots" and the ideas in it were very exciting.
The content described in the letter from the Chinese leader also made Zhao Liewen yearn for it.
But there are many people in this world who like to boast.
It's not that difficult or simple to make Zhao Liewen truly convinced.
Now he is just interested in this Chinese regime.
Originally, a good friend invited him to join the army of Zeng Gong in Huguang, and he was ready to set off.
Suddenly receiving a letter from his brother-in-law Zhou Tenghu from Fujian, he temporarily changed his mind and decided to send his sister and children to sea first, and take a look at who the Chinese leader was.
It was the same steward as before, but this time the man very politely invited the family members of Zhao Liewen and Zhou Tenghu to wait in an upper room in the backyard.
Not long after, a young man wearing Ryukyu official robes walked into the room.
Zhao Liewen looked up and saw that the person who came here did not look like a scholar in terms of temperament. He had a strong sense of businessmanship.
"But Mr. Zhao?" Chen Deli was very polite and took the initiative to step forward and cup his hands.
"I am Zhao Liewen. I wonder who you are?" Zhao Liewen saw the man with a smile on his face. He was very polite and did not put on airs.
"My Excellency, Chen Deli, is the person in charge of the Chinese here. Master Zhou once told me to pay attention to Mr. Zhao's movements when he left with the head of state."
"Is my brother-in-law really an official?" Zhao Liewen asked in surprise.
"That's right, Mr. Zhou is now the head of the household department of our Chinese clan."
"Chief?"
"Exactly, the head of state said that our Chinese officials serve the people. The minister has a strong bureaucratic character. He doesn't want everyone to forget their original intention, so he changed it to chief. I am the chief of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce."
Although I don’t know if this Chinese is just a pirate who calls himself an emperor, just like many mountain kings who call themselves emperors, trying to conquer the monkeys.
But his brother-in-law Zhou Tenghu doesn't seem like the kind of character that can be accommodated on a small island or a cottage.
"It turned out to be Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhao was rude."
"This must be Mrs. Zhou." Chen Deli saluted the woman behind Zhao Liewen again.
"Mr. Chen, you are polite." Ms. Zhao is also a lady of the family and has seen the world. When she saw Chen Deli salute to her, she quickly returned the salute.
Several children behind her also returned the gift.
"Mr. Chen, when are we going to see my brother-in-law?" Zhao Liewen said.
