Chapter 367 Preparations for the Chongzhen Tour(1/2)
Chapter 367 Preparations for Chongzhen’s Patrol
"Whoosh!"
"Fortunately, I chose the restroom, so I can take a shower, so I can't ask for these clothes."
Chen Ye, who had just come out of the sea and was soaked to the skin, chose the toilet at home when he shuttled back.
Looking at the clothes he took off, the fishy smell on them was very strong, so Chen Ye put the clothes directly into the display window in disgust.
After taking a shower and changing into new clothes, I went to the refrigerator and took out a few packed ice cubes and put them in a cup. I took a can of Coke directly from the window, opened it and poured it in. I mobilized the system and sent a message to Chongzhen.
"Chen Ye: Lao Zhu, I'm already home, what are you doing now?"
"Chongzhen: It's so fast. Shopkeeper, did you travel directly from Europe? I'm selecting clothes in the clothing department. If you want to come, you can come directly."
"Chen Ye: OK, let me wait for a few minutes and sort out my clothes."
In the Ming Dynasty, the capital's Shang Clothes Supervisor, two long hangers in the hall were filled with clothes, and Chongzhen was personally selecting the clothes he would wear during his trip.
After seeing the message from Chen Ye, Chongzhen glanced around and replied without delaying his actions of choosing clothes.
Every time Chen Ye wanted to come over, he would first ask him what he was doing, and then start the time travel and choose a place around him where he could appear. Both of them were used to this method.
"Li Banban, the Imperial Master will be here soon. Go and ask someone to bring over another set of tea sets. Well, we'll get these clothes later."
"I accept the decree."
Upon hearing Chongzhen's instructions, the eunuch of the Shangyi Supervisor responded in a low voice, and then led the people to retreat temporarily.
He knew that this was the reason why Chongzhen asked them to leave for a while, and he couldn't help but wonder how Chongzhen knew that the Imperial Master was coming without even looking at the time.
But just think about this kind of problem. If you really continue to explore it to the end, you will die quickly if you know too much.
As soon as the eunuch left, Chen Ye appeared in the hall, and the connection was just right.
Looking at the clothes in the hall, Chen Ye couldn't help but curiously stepped forward and touched them.
"Lao Zhu, why do you have so many clothes? They are so exquisite. Why don't I see you wearing them? Well, this robe is in such a state of tatters that you haven't thrown it away yet?"
"Sit down first, owner. I have already told Li Banban to prepare some tea.
Many of these clothes were made when I first ascended the throne, but now many of them no longer fit, and some are torn, so they have to be changed by the clothes supervisor."
Chongzhen asked Chen Ye to sit down and said that most of his clothes were old clothes, made when he had just ascended the throne and had a lot of money, regardless of the cost.
In recent years, the finances have been difficult, and the imperial robes cost money and effort, so he made fewer and fewer clothes.
"When you pack these clothes, have you already booked a time for the tour? On which day?"
"The date initially set is the first day of October. I will lead the prince and two officials, one civil and one military, on a patrol.
During this period, helicopters and motorcycles were used as means of transportation, and they did not fly in a connected manner. They appeared randomly in various counties in the four provinces, and the entire period lasted for half a month."
"On the first day of October, today is October 20 in the Gregorian calendar, that is, three days from now?"
Chen Ye had been traveling between the Ming Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms in real life, so he was a little confused about the date. After thinking about the time in his mind, he asked.
"Yes, today is the 27th of the ninth month of the Ming Dynasty. Shopkeeper, do you think there is anything I should pay attention to? Our plans for food, clothing, housing and transportation have all been arranged."
"There shouldn't be anything to pay attention to. Apart from the need to prevent excessive show-off, everything else is fine. Just follow the plan. When the time comes, take more photos and videos, which will be useful for publicity in the future.
Thank you, father-in-law."
"I'm so polite, Imperial Master. It's all the Emperor's orders. I don't dare to thank you."
Li Guang, the eunuch in charge of Shangyi Prison, who handed the tea to Chen Ye, said in fear that although he was the eunuch in charge, Shangyi Prison was not as powerful as the powerful departments such as Si Li Jian and Yu Ma Jian.
He didn't have much chance to receive other ministers. He was really not used to the gratitude of Chen Ye, the imperial master, and he was also really scared. In the eunuch's impression, there was definitely something wrong with ministers being too polite to them.
"Okay, you go and sort out your clothes, and put the ones you can wear on the other side for me."
"I understand."
"Shopkeeper, you have worked hard on this trip. How do you feel about your trip to Europe? Is it like what you recorded in later generations, in which people don't like to take baths?"
Chongzhen waved his hand and asked Li Guang and the others to collect the row of clothes in the hall, then turned to look at Chen Ye curiously and asked.
"Well, I took a lot of photos, No, that's it, you can take a look.
The whole of Europe is very large, so the health status of each country is also very different due to different main industries, monarchs, and beliefs, which is somewhat different from those deliberately black memes.
The places where I spent the longest time during this trip were the Netherlands and Sweden. Both countries are very clean, especially the Netherlands. It can even be said that the Netherlands is a bit clean.
Because the Netherlands has a very large livestock industry. The cows they raise produce milk and are used to make cheese, so they need a very clean environment. The Dutch can basically wash their hands and clean their tools every day.
Except for the slovenliness of the sailors in the Dutch harbor, the overall situation is very different from the stereotype. Sweden is similar, but they live further north, so there is not much need for bathing.
As for other countries, most of them are the same as in the book. For example, Louis XIII of France had not bathed for a year when he asked me to sign.
It is said that his son is even more powerful. He has never washed himself several times in his life. I don’t know if this is true. There are other countries in Spain and the UK that are even more powerful.
Look at this photo of their Whopper. That guy, you don’t know that shit and urine are all on the walls, especially in London. I can feel the smell when I fly in a helicopter..."
"Ha, the area around their palace looks really dirty! It's so ungraceful and dirty, it's hard to imagine that it is the castle of a king of a country.
If it is so dirty outside the Daming Palace, I can kill all the people in the Twelve Prisons, and I am worthy of being the king of a barbarian land, how different from the barbarians?"
Seeing Chen Ye telling the story of the country behind the photos and the story of their monarch one by one, with pictures and facts, Chongzhen couldn't stop clicking his tongue, and he was even more disdainful towards this group of Europeans.
Chongzhen couldn't even maintain basic etiquette and hygiene, and even lived with feces and urine. Chongzhen looked down upon such a nation.
"Look, this is the Netherlands, and there is Sweden. How about it? Does it feel like they are two different worlds?"
"The Netherlands is really nice. The castle is neat and tidy, and the scenery is extremely beautiful. It's so beautiful. It's such a beautiful place. It would be a pity if Ming Dynasty didn't take it."
Chongzhen was always possessive of beautiful things. He would have considered it if it was given to him by dirty countries like France and England, but he would be very satisfied with the Netherlands.
Chen Ye clicked his tongue and talked until Chen Ye turned his hand and a picture of the Queen of Sweden appeared.
Looking at the woman wearing a crown and ceremonial robe in the photo, holding a sword hilt in her hand and smiling at the camera, with Chongzhen's current knowledge, he could easily guess the identity of the woman in the photo.
"This is the queen you are talking about, shopkeeper? She is 15 years old?? She looks much older than the woman who lived in the Ming Dynasty in 1928. I remember that the information said that she also has a shoulder problem, why can't she tell?"
"Because her palace has shoulder pads, you can actually see if you look closely, her neck is slightly crooked. As for her appearance, European women are basically like this.
They grow very quickly, and due to racial differences, it is difficult for us to tell their actual age, plus she is very hairy."
After reading it, Chongzhen put Christina's photo back into the photo pile without putting it away like the other photos. He was really not interested in this foreign fast food.
Continuing to flip through the photos, this time the photo was a photo of the coastal area taken from an airplane. Chen Ye pointed to the area and told Chongzhen that this was the Principality of Normandy in Europe.
"To be honest, I didn't even expect that when you go to Europe, shopkeeper, you will encounter someone assassinating Louis XIII at a critical moment of the war. This is really a harvest."
"I didn't expect Louis XIII to be so stupid that he suddenly gave us such a big gift, but I heard that many people in the Principality of Normandy did not support him, so maybe it was his plan.
But no matter what, with this territory, we can legitimately intervene in Europe. Who are you going to block?"
"I plan to divide the royal family into two parts in the future, as well as the Abel and Banduma, Tang Ruowang and Maier that you initially recruited. Let them do their best."
Chongzhen revealed his arrangements. Although Tang Ruowang and Maier were given empty titles, in terms of trust, both he and Chen Ye trusted the Ming Dynasty and Chen Ye's two followers more.
When Chen Ye reached an agreement with Louis XIII, he had already received the signed bilingual agreement on the display window, so he could directly name the candidate.
Regarding the arrangements for Normandy and the subsequent expansion of the royal family, both of them have made a detailed plan and are just waiting for its continued implementation.
"Well, just come and come. I asked Lao Liu yesterday and he said that Cao Pi and Sun Quan were already gathering troops.
When Cao Pi and Sun Quan bring the main force over, you can just send a regiment to do basic military training. As for ideological education, Lao Liu is organizing people."
"Shop owner, please help me tell Brother Deyo that he can send all the ideological and political personnel to Ming Dynasty and ask Wang Banban to help him bring out a group of people. Wang Banban is very experienced."
"That's okay. His subordinates really don't have as much experience in mind control as the prince."
Chen Ye agreed and said, as a confidant of Chongzhen, Wang Chengen has been in charge of the Royal Academy for almost a year. He has deep experience, is talented, and has strong brainwashing ability.
"Your Majesty, all the clothes have been put away."
"Well, put them in order and make a list for me to show you.
Shopkeeper, we’re done here, let’s go to Qianqing Palace to continue talking.”
"Well, let's go."
Chen Ye got up and followed Chongzhen towards Qianqing Palace.
In the harem at this time, Queen Zhou was also busy packing her clothes, and Zhu Cixiang next to her looked excited and excited.
"When you go out with your father this time, you represent the royal etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. You must remember everything your father has told you.
Many of those contents are different from the monarch etiquette you have learned before, but you have to remember that this is what your father taught you."
"Don't worry, mother, but your son understands that his father can restore the Ming Dynasty. Now the Ming Dynasty has countless fierce tigers, its treasury is full, and the people are stable. Even if what the father said is different from what is written in the book, it means that the people in the book are not realistic.
The son will definitely be close to the people. At any time, he will not be arrogant, nor will he be superior to the people. He will always be modest and prudent, think carefully after speaking, and if he does not understand something, he should ask questions seriously, and he must not pretend to understand."
Zhu Cixiang restrained some of his excitement, mentioned Chongzhen with a look of admiration on his face, and read out all Chongzhen's requirements for him.
Obviously, he was not only excited to be able to follow Chongzhen on his tour, but also took note of everything seriously. He also took note of everything Chongzhen said without any resistance.
Empress Zhou nodded with satisfaction. Since Chongzhen changed drastically at the beginning of the year, he became more and more like a wise king. Likewise, she was increasingly unable to help Chongzhen.
So for what Chongzhen was doing now, whether she didn't manage or understand, she supported him. For example, when he wanted to take the prince on a tour this time, many people wrote to her and suggested that Chongzhen should not take the prince, but she suppressed them all.
"Okay, your clothes have been packed. You can put down your homework for the past two days. I'll find someone to prepare the common food for people in these provinces, so you can adapt in advance."
To be continued...
