Dong Shuheng would occasionally dress up and go into the market to experience the fireworks of the world.
A makeup artist was recruited in the Presidential Palace. Her skills were so good that through her hands, Dong Shuheng could completely transform into another person.
It's very uncomfortable for a grown man to smear it on his face.
But no longer walking around in the world, he felt that he was really going to become a god.
Not only others will think so, but he himself will also think that he is a god.
Huaiyang Tower is a famous restaurant in Xincheng. It sells breakfast in the morning. The breakfast here is very characteristic of Huaihai.
Yangzhou steamed buns are paired with Dongtai fish soup noodles, and those who want a morning drink can order a plate of thinly chopped pig ears mixed with fried peanuts and chopped coriander.
If the taste is strong, you can add more garlic and chili oil.
Dong Shuheng can never forget the fish noodle soup in his hometown.
The fish used in the fish soup noodles here is silver carp and small miscellaneous fish from Miyun Reservoir.
But the flavor is no worse than the fish soup noodles in the South.
Huaiyang Tower was as busy as usual this morning.
Just when everyone was concentrating on the delicious food in their mouths, a tall woman walked into Huaiyang Tower.
This woman was wearing a red coat, revealing half of her slender legs.
The two calves were wrapped in black thickened stockings.
She has a bun on her head, a dark braid, embedded in the bun and wrapped around her head.
There is also a black gauze tassel on the headdress, covering half of her pretty face with exquisite makeup.
The woman attracted the attention of most of the diners as soon as she entered.
Beautiful women can always attract everyone's attention.
But most people just admire it. After all, this is the new imperial city and there are dignitaries everywhere.
But the unattractive man holding the woman's arm was automatically ignored by people.
Of course, some people cast disdainful glances at him. Some even cursed in their hearts: "The good cabbage was given to the pigs."
The man was wearing a blue-black coat and a thin cashmere plaid scarf around his neck.
Although he looks ordinary, he has an extraordinary bearing, and there is a sense of nobility in his movements.
As soon as the two came in, they were led by the waiter to a booth with a screen.
The seats were reserved in advance, but the waiter didn't know that it was the President and the third lady who were coming.
Yang Ximei took the initiative to accompany Dong Shuheng out, although there were at least a dozen of the surrounding diners dressed as guards.
But several daughters-in-law of the Dong family had already discussed it.
As long as Dong Shuheng comes out incognito, he must be accompanied by at least one of Lu Feiyan or Yang Ximei.
Both of these two are pretty good at kung fu, and people who have practiced martial arts generally have good alertness.
"Waiter, please have a bowl of fish soup noodles, two steamed buns, and a red noodle soup." Dong Shuheng said to the waiter.
The guests who enter the private room are all distinguished guests of the store, and the waiter greets them very attentively.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
The red noodle soup that Dong Shuheng ordered was for Yang Ximei. She is from Guangxi and is not used to eating fish noodle soup.
Soon the noodles will be served. This fish soup noodles uses long and thin water surface. Just blanch the noodles in hot water for a minute or two.
The fish soup is cooked in advance.
Such noodles are put into the fish soup and can still absorb the umami flavor of the fish soup.
The entrance is quite strong, with q bombs.
Because there was only a screen in front of them, people around them could still hear their voices, so the two of them didn't talk much.
Dong Shuheng listened carefully to the chats of the diners.
Most of the people who have time to come over for breakfast have time to chat.
At this time, a middle-aged man's voice came from outside the screen: "Have you heard? It is said that at this great court meeting, all countries will jointly elect the one above us as the co-leader."
The Dachaohui is what the people in the capital call the assembly of vassal states. In their opinion, such a gathering where all nations come to court should be called the Dachaohui.
Another person said: "This is not just a rumor, it is simply true."
Yang Ximei also heard it. She sucked a few noodles in her small mouth and glanced at Dong Shuheng with her big eyes.
Dong Shuheng smiled awkwardly.
It was no coincidence that I heard someone discussing this issue as soon as I sat down.
Mainly because this topic is being discussed everywhere now.
The New City is now the real root of the imperial city, and government agencies are concentrated here.
One brick can kill several high-ranking officials at the department and bureau level.
The former imperial city had its roots in the inner city, but the current inner city has long since changed.
It is full of museums, academies, and markets with various characteristics.
That's where outsiders come to Xinjing to have fun.
The new city located to the west became the root of the new imperial city.
Most of the people who live here have some connection with the officials.
I usually get the most gossip.
They also love to talk about this, and it seems that whoever knows more is more awesome.
The person who just started speaking asked again: "I wonder where this palace city is located? Wouldn't our new capital become the capital of the entire Great China Circle?"
Another person answered: "Of course it should be placed here, but the summer palace is a bit small, so we might as well incorporate the Summer Palace next to it."
"To say that this matter is a bit embarrassing for us Xinjing people, we should be the first to persuade people to come in. As a result, it is these outsiders who are trying to persuade us to come in."
"You don't understand this. It's not like we Xinjing people didn't persuade Jin to enter back then. But our president is the most humble man in the world. You said that our president, with such great achievements, would not be praised by Gu Dao.
Widows, those emperors in history are nothing, right?" The man said excitedly, seeming to make Dong Shuheng feel aggrieved.
"Of course, these small countries should have been persuaded to move in a long time ago. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty only conquered a northern grassland and was honored as Tian Khan by all tribes. The achievements made by our great president are not as good as his
Higher?"
Dong Shuheng, who was sitting there eating noodles, felt a little embarrassed.
I'm afraid these two are my stupid fans.
It's just a breakfast, and it doesn't take long to eat.
On a rare trip, Dong Shuheng took Yang Ximei to visit the most famous market in Xincheng.
There is a dazzling array of things here. Not only all the goods that can be produced locally, but also everything you can think of from all over the world can be found here.
Dong Shuheng didn't go back until nearly ten o'clock.
Because there was a reception at noon, he had to accompany the representatives from various countries who came to the meeting to dine.
There were many more people attending the meeting this time than in previous years.
Someone had arrived a month ago.
There are countries in the Greater China Circle that are both far and near. Some are as far away as Donghua. It takes at least two months to visit.
Dong Shutong, who originally brought his family back, could not make the trip because he had to deal with the ceasefire with Grenada in the north.
Dong Shuheng also does not recommend that his brother come back at this time.
Donghua has experienced the baptism of war one after another. The country is not as stable as imagined.
If Dong Shutong comes back with Zhumu, he will be in trouble if something happens in his country.
Or if someone is interested, they can take advantage of them to return to their homeland and do something.
That would be enough for the new Donghua Empire to drink from.
Therefore, Donghua just sent a representative here.
Cai Qiming is the foreign minister of Donghua, but he has to participate in negotiations with the Yu people and Grenada.
So in the end, Prime Minister Ma Chun could only come back.
Ma Chun has not returned to his hometown for many years. Although his family has moved to Donghua, who hasn’t felt a little homesick yet?
Compared with previous years, this meeting saw more Arabs wearing headscarves and white robes, and even dark-skinned black people.
Suddenly, many Baath Army protectorates appeared in the Persian Gulf.
Although there are many of these protectorates, they are actually one tribe.
But the territory they control is not small.
These newly acquired protectorates of the Renaissance Army were naturally included in the management system of the Renaissance Army.
This allowed the Baath Army's power to officially border the Ottoman Empire.
In the system created by Dong Shuheng, once these small countries or tribes join, they will soon be politically and economically affected by the Renaissance Army.
And with the power of Chinese civilization, it will soon affect them culturally.
Recently, the people in this new capital have opened their eyes.
The brown-skinned Nanyangs, the red-skinned Yintians, these masked Arabs, the black Africans, all races came together.
What is this? This is the real coming of all nations.
This is not the kind of vain person who fools people.
This is what the Renaissance Army has accomplished over the years with swords and guns.
The prime minister of the Persian Empire wrote in his travel notes: "This is a great city. She can definitely deserve the title of the center of the world, not just because there are millions of people living here. The academies here are concentrated together.
It’s bigger than our capital city.”
"This is also the center of culture. I prayed in the mosque here. The imam here is as knowledgeable as the ones we have there. It is unimaginable that there are churches and temples here. I say this is the center of world culture because there are enough
A broad mind embraces us all."
"People here live a prosperous life, and ordinary people have good knowledge. I heard that everyone here must study and study. They can ride trams when they go out, and their carriages do not need horses. They only need to burn gasoline to move.
, they can take trains from one city to another."
…
The Persian used so many words of praise that many young people embarked on the road to study in the Baath Army because of the content of this letter.
Lu Shun has been back in China for more than a month. He disembarked directly from his hometown, Zhenhai.
First, he returned to his hometown to pay his respects to his father.
Seeing that his son, who was originally the most dandy, has achieved a small amount of success.
The old man said words of instruction, but he felt very happy in his heart.
Lu Shun also mentioned to the old man that he was short of people.
The old man did not transfer someone from home to Lu Shun, but asked him to go to Huaihai Academy.
After Lu Shun left home, he passed through Shanghai and came to Gaoyou.
He stopped in Shanghai for a while, and he had boarded and disembarked in Shanghai several times before.
But it wasn't long before he felt like he couldn't recognize this place again.
The trip to Huaihai Academy also benefited him a lot.
He did not expect that in such an academy, there would be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Because of his father's letters, Lu Shun met an old gentleman in the academy.
This old gentleman's surname is Xu, and he actually teaches mathematics.
This old gentleman's status in the academy is not low.
Under the introduction of the old gentleman, Lu Shun successfully met several young talents.
In the next few days, Lu Shun frequently came into contact with these people.
Tell them about the benefits of Nanhua Island.
A nice pie is drawn for everyone.
Each of these people has their own strengths, but they are much better than the cuckold friends around Lu Shun.
Lu Shun believed that with their abilities, they would be able to work in Nanhua Island as long as they went through the process in the company's human resources department.
Seeing that the conference was approaching, Lu Shun had no choice but to head north first.
Lu Shun rarely went to the north. He first took a passenger ship on the canal to Xuzhou, and then went north from Xuzhou.
Today, basically only the part south of Xuzhou is still in operation.
The northern canal is basically no longer responsible for shipping business because the cost of maintenance is too high.
It was replaced by a railway from Xuzhou to Xinjing.
The cost of rail transportation is even lower than that of canal transportation.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was an excessive reliance on the canal in order to ensure the normal operation of the canal.
During the dry season, farmers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are even restricted from taking water for irrigation.
In Dong Shuheng's view, this is a completely stupid approach.
Compared with the importance of canal transportation, people's livelihood on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is more important.
Therefore, when regulating the Yellow River, people from the Ministry of Water Resources re-formulated the plan for the canal.
The northern canal became a tributary that regulated the flow of the Yellow River.
It basically no longer becomes a fixed transportation task. It is replaced by a north-south railway.
The canal from Yangzhou to Xuzhou that Lu Shun took was preserved because it was located in the south and had abundant water.
However, the scenery here is very different from his hometown Zhenhai.
The architecture of the house is more rugged.
Most houses have a yard in front of the main house. In the south, most houses have a main house in the front, a courtyard behind the house, and a sunbathing area in front of the house.
Standing on the boat, you can see the neat villages in the distance.
After so many years of development, rural areas in developed areas like Jianghuai have undergone tremendous changes.
Every household has moved into new houses with blue bricks and black tiles.
The original adobe houses have basically been eliminated.
Due to reduced transportation costs and the efficiency of machine mining, cheap coal is available everywhere.
Brick and tile factories have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The cost of building materials is reduced.
Farmers also have more opportunities to work in cities. In addition to food, they can also have a certain amount of transaction currency in their hands.
This stimulates consumption. No matter how stingy farmers are, they are also willing to repair their houses.
The only consumer goods they are not stingy about are houses and land.
Perhaps you can also add cattle, farm tools and other production tools.
In Xuzhou, Lu Shun saw the charm of a heavy industrial city.
Around the train station, various factories have begun to increase.
As the train started moving, he saw this steel city.
Yes, this can no longer be regarded as a factory, but has a huge steel plant as its core, surrounded by supporting factories and some downstream factories.
There are also some residential areas on the outside. This should be where the workers who work here live.
If this isn't intuitive enough.
Then the railway bridge built purely with steel on the Yellow River in the north of the city can bring an industrial impact.
