For Emperor Gan Sheng of the Ming Dynasty, who was thousands of miles away, he had no idea that in the distant Western Regions, there was a group of people who were anxious to become the hunting dog of the Ming Dynasty and to bite the prey for the Ming Dynasty.

All of this is just a trivial matter that happened in the distant Western Regions. After all, in this world, there are more than one or two countries willing to be the Ming Dynasty hunting dog.

But then again, there is indeed no such thing as Dashun.

Of course, Zhu Guoqiang was not sure about the fact that such a hunting dog came to him. After all, the report of the "Pingrong City" city guard has not been sent over yet. Even Fang Yizhi didn't know that his son had done such a "big thing" and dared to sign such a contract with "Kou Ri" privately. Even if the overseas city guards of the Ming Dynasty had the power to sign a treaty with Turkish countries, is the "pseudo-Tang" a Turkish country?

This is simply bold.

Zhu Guoqiang didn't know, and Fang Zhongde's father Fang Yizhi didn't know either.

After dealing with political affairs, Fang Yizhi accompanied the emperor to visit Nanjing in a private tour. Unlike the emperors in the past Ming Dynasty who were trapped in the imperial city, Emperor Gan Sheng never trapped himself in the imperial city. Not only did he understand the outside world through newspapers, but he also often went on tour in a private tour and personally felt the customs outside.

In this era, what is the premise of private visits on a mini-server basis?

Few people can recognize the appearance of the emperor.

The world is better than Jiangnan, and Nanjing City is a representative of it. The "Nandu Painting" allows future generations to see the prosperity of Nanjing. However, Nanjing, which was in the 13th year of the Gansheng period, the prosperity that hits people makes people feel even more strange.

After more than ten years of rectification, especially the "widening and correction of the city and streets", Nanjing City is more like the latter's metropolis. Of course, this city was from the 19th century. The carriages and pedestrians wearing Hanfu all reminded him of this point. The new and distinctive tall buildings on both sides of the street clearly told him that the world had undergone fundamental changes.

There are not only Han people on the street, but also many blonde and blue-eyed Europeans, but Nanjing City is definitely not an international metropolis.

After all, most of these blonde and blue-eyed Europeans are women, and they are maids of wealthy families. They can be seen everywhere in the mansions of wealthy families inside and outside Nanjing. In front of these extraordinary mansions, you can see strong Kunlun maids coming and going from time to time.

It has to be said that the Ming people are very good at enjoying it and are good at discovering the advantages of foreign maids. For example, Goryeo maids and Japanese maids are careful and good at serving their masters. They are more suitable for being personal maids. For example, the Tianzhu and Persian maids have hot bodies, can sing and dance, can be servants and female actors, but there are also people who need to do physical work. The Ming Dynasty prohibits the sale of male slaves from alien races. The female slaves there are good at physical work?

Businessmen who are good at discovering the market focus on those "Kunlun slaves", so those "Kunlun maids" who are as dark as charcoal but have strong figures have become indispensable servants in wealthy families, specializing in some physical work.

Zhu Guoqiang also had a certain general understanding of this through newspapers and other channels. The wealthy families in the Jiangnan area have always had the habit of using domestic slaves for a hundred years. Not to mention them, even the nobles of the Holy Dynasty hope to use domestic slaves.

Is it rotten?

Degenerate?

In fact, this is life.

Without a slave, can the new dynasty be allowed to do everything by themselves?

Household slavery is to collapse, but it also needs to meet the needs of the upstarts.

The "house slavery" that collapsed the Ming Dynasty, which hit the old wealthy families, would applaud the people of this subordinates, and only then could the new rich get more benefits if they fought over the old powerful people. However, if the new rich people could not benefit under the new system, then they would naturally become opponents of the new policy.

Therefore, while fundamentally dismantling the old slavery through means such as cracking down on the investment and self-selling, the upstarts engaged in overseas trade took advantage of the legal "loopholes" to open up overseas maid trade. This trade is full of sins, but it also alleviated many contradictions.

In the name of these wealthy families, there are now hundreds or thousands of maids from all over the world. It is precisely under their service that they still live a life of superiors, and they are even more relaxed and comfortable than in the past. Those families with "scholarly family" use slaves without any psychological burden.

After all, everyone is willing to enjoy the service of others...even if Zhu Guoqiang is the same.

Yes, this is also human nature.

The group was walking on the street, sitting in Wende Bridge, looking at Wende Street in the distance, Zhu Guoqiang stopped and stared at the bustling streets, with many people gatherings on the streets. There were many young scholars, not only young, but also... most of them were dressed in strange costumes, and they could even be described as competing for beauty.

"Master, the Imperial College is nearby. These are all students from all over the country who came to take the National Supervisory College entrance examination."

Fang Yizhi said softly.

The Imperial College has an entrance examination every year, and scholars from all over the world gather around Wende Street, but what really shocked Zhu Guoqiang was probably the dress of those scholars!

Among those scholars, many people were wearing women's clothes and swaying everywhere. Seeing this, Zhu Guoqiang frowned.

"What's the thing they're wearing?"

Fang Yizhi said.

"Master, this is what the newspaper calls "demon costumes". In fact, since Shizong has been popular in wearing this way, women will get up at night and wear loose robes; men like short clothes and slim skirts, which are similar to women from a distance. In Suzhou and Hangzhou, there is a folk song, "Three good news in Suzhou: Men have red collars on their tables, and their daughters have to wear net scarves, and poor men dress up in rich clothes." This situation is not only in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but also in other places. The clothes people wear are even more diverse, with men and women wearing mixed clothes."

Looking at the scholars who looked like women in their clothes from a distance, Fang Yizhi sighed.

"After the world has been peaceful for more than ten years, I never thought that such a trend would return to the Ming Dynasty."

"This kind of atmosphere..."

Zhu Guoqiang snorted coldly:

"There are all scholars in women's clothes. If the men of my Ming Dynasty are all like this, then the country will be no longer a country."

This trend has been around for a long time. Since the Zhengde Dynasty, the commodity economy of the Ming Dynasty has developed rapidly and the cities have become more prosperous. Scholars look down on the traditional Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. Scholars regard proficient in the Five Classics as pedantic. In the Wanli Dynasty, scholars were embarrassed to say that they like to read. They just felt that the eight-legged essays were useless, and they found another way out in their thoughts, and began to widely pursue the practical value of knowledge. The changes in ideas and the improvement of material life made those scholars try to break through the traditional hierarchy chains in clothing. For a time, in some cities in Jiangnan, various clothing was competing for beauty, and developed to the extreme, which was the emergence of "cosmokers". An idle official once went to the city and found that the scholars on the street were dressed with red silk tows of hair, red cream on their lips, white powder on their faces, and rouge. They wore red and purple clothes, underwear on their outerwear, and dressed in makeup, like beauty.

In contrast, the luxury style of poor children's silk clothes is not worth mentioning.

After all, for Zhu Guoqiang, who "established his country with martial law",

Looking at the "pretty boy" all over the street, he really couldn't accept it!

With his brows frowned, Zhu Guoqiang made up his mind to rectify this trend. If this unhealthy trend is not killed, it may even affect the Ming Dynasty's future conquest of the world. After all, it will definitely not be possible to rely on such a group of fake girls to conquer the world.

Could it be that these fake girls are going to deal with those savages? Send your butt? Or...

Moreover, if they want to rectify, they must adopt some tough measures and beat them up so that they can remember them freshly. Let them take it as a warning.

I need to think of a way.

Zhu Guoqiang thought silently in his heart. After all, it is easy to deal with this matter, but it is not easy to let those people experience what the whipping of Iron Fist Four is, so that those people can learn from it, and even dare not mention it again in the next few hundred years.
