Chapter 363 Ming Dynasty is a big country committed to maintaining regional peace.

Living in an environment with the rise of European colonialism, saying that Sweden loves peace is a joke.

"Master, our Kingdom of Sweden has always been very friendly to the Ming Dynasty. The Swedish company was not established for war, but for trade.

Our Christina territory was purchased with money, and we have very good relations with the local Indians. We have been conducting fur trade. Everyone knows this. You may have misunderstood.

In short, we are fully sincere in establishing relations with the Ming Dynasty, and we hope that Your Majesty the Imperial Master will not view us with prejudice."

"Yes, yes, yes, okay. I believe you. Okay, Your Lady Queen, let's go in."

Looking at Chen Ye's extended hand, Christina hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand for Chen Ye to take, and the two walked into the ballroom together.

The kings and royal family members in the ballroom couldn't help but look to the door. Some who guessed Christina's identity were speculating on Chen Ye's meaning, while those who didn't knew were looking at each other's hall.

Christina was greeted by Chen Ye at the door as soon as she boarded the ship, so she had the opportunity to carefully observe the ballroom and the magic of this ship.

In the ballroom, many monarchs whom she had not seen for a long time, most of whom she had never seen before, were chatting happily in the ballroom of the cruise ship and drinking freely the drinks provided by Chen Ye.

All high-tech tools on the cruise ship, such as soda machines, refrigerators, ovens, and lights, are the objects of discussion by all the monarchs. Likewise, they are also the parts that Chen Ye focuses on introducing to Christina.

The other monarchs were in dire straits. Without Chen Ye to explain to them the functions and origins of these things, even how to use them was left to a group of monarchs to figure out on their own and to guess based on temporary training of waiters.

"It's hard to imagine that the kings of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty had so many magical tools, and how desirable their lives were."

"Actually, Europe is also possible. Didn't I say when I visited you that day that the Ming Dynasty Royal Company is willing to set up a joint company with you? We will be responsible for shipping, you will be responsible for selling, and we can make money together."

"I'm really looking forward to this day. By the way, do you also use that flying thing to transport goods?"

While Christina and Chen Ye were chatting, they sat down alone in a booth in the ballroom. This behavior made the secretarial minister scratch his head, but in the face of the guards' obstruction, he did not dare to make a mistake.

“There are various ways to transport goods, and all of these are preliminary drafts and still need to wait for the diplomatic center to be established.

Back to this, Her Majesty the Queen, what do you think of our ship? With Ming's technological strength, is it different from what you have seen before?"

"I couldn't help but say just now that this is like being in a dream. I never thought that there are so many magical tools in the world. Thank you for the invitation, Your Majesty the Imperial Preceptor."

Christina raised the wine glass in her hand and saluted Chen Ye.

"For the Ming Dynasty, these are insignificant. The Ming Dynasty is destined to lead the world forward.

Speaking of which, when I arrived at the Royal Palace in Stockholm that day, I noticed that all your guards seemed to be women."

"Yes, those are my female cavalry guards, but they are only accompanying me in the palace. When they come out, the knights will still be men."

"Have they all been trained? The status of Swedish women seems to be very high. Well, it should be said that the status of women in the whole of Europe is quite high. In the Ming Dynasty, it was unimaginable to be a queen, and even female officials were impossible."

Chen Ye's sudden change of topic made Christina's mind race rapidly, thinking about what he meant by these words.

Thinking of making up for extra lessons these days, he learned about East India and the mysterious country of silk and porcelain, the Ming Dynasty.

According to records, the status of women among the people of the Ming Dynasty was very low. Could it be said that this national preceptor was dissatisfied with having a female knight or even being a queen?

Thinking of this, Christina denied it herself. She felt that Chen Ye didn't look like he had a corrupt mind.

Moreover, Chen Ye also said a few days ago that he would support himself in taking control of Sweden. This does not seem like he is dissatisfied with women's participation in politics, so he is just discussing it?

"Dear Imperial Master, I don't know the customs and habits of the Ming Dynasty, and I don't know if you have female riders.

In Europe, women's status is indeed relatively high. Our women can study in monasteries when they are young. The proportion of women studying among nobles is higher than that of men.

As for ordinary people, it is usually the female who manages the farm, while the male goes on expeditions with the monarch. I think the same is true in the Ming Dynasty. Didn’t the Ming Dynasty also have housewives?"

"Oh, this aspect is indeed similar. Men farm and women weave has been a custom since ancient times, but there are still some differences.

Officially in the Ming Dynasty, the status of women is far worse than in Europe. Your women can participate in politics, but this is very taboo in the Ming Dynasty."

"Oh, what was the daily life of women in the Ming Dynasty? I heard that women in the Ming Dynasty were also involved in the silk trade, and there were women on the streets, unlike the Ottoman Empire."

Chen Ye's addition helped Christina gradually understand the status of women in the Ming Dynasty. Generally speaking, in the north, which was directly managed by the imperial court, women had the lowest status.

Women in the South have a higher status in the family because of the development of handicraft industry and economy, and their income.

As for social status, women in Europe are obviously much freer than women in the Ming Dynasty. Women in the Ming Dynasty could not be officials. They followed their husbands when they married, and were even equivalent to the property of their husbands' families.

"I will need your female cavalry regiment to cooperate in filming some films in the future. I want to publish it in newspapers and promote it in Ming Dynasty to improve the status of women in Ming Dynasty."

"I don't know what you mean by filming. But if you are willing not to look down on women, I will be happy to help you."

"It means taking a picture. It is a way of automatic animation. Come on, let me demonstrate one for you."

Chen Ye reached out and took out the Polaroid and took a picture of Christina. The flash made Christina blink her eyes and then took the photo.

Looking at the photo, I slightly opened my red lips, opened my eyes and looked evasive, and my face was as clear as looking in a mirror.

"Wow! What an amazing thing. It can actually draw me in an instant. It's incredible. It's exactly the same."

"That's it. When the time comes, your guards will put on knight uniforms, and then you lead them and let me take a few photos. I want everyone in Ming Dynasty to see the Queen of Sweden."

"Oh, there are not many uniforms for the female cavalry guards. It is very difficult to get them together. Your Highness, the Imperial Preceptor, you need to give benefits when you hire someone to do things."

Christina winked at Chen Ye and said, of course such small things are insignificant to her, but appropriate key points and benefits can bring the relationship closer.

When Chen Ye heard Christina's words, he nodded, reached into his arms, and then took out a Swiss Patek Philippe rhinestone watch from the display window.

"Of course, this is a Patek Philippe women's watch with a diamond and rose gold bracelet. It is very precious. There is only one in the world. Now I give it to the most beautiful queen in the world."

"Oumai Cake! You are so good at talking.

Is this actually a clock? The clocks in the world can be made so small!!! This is so precious."

Christina clutched the gift box tightly, her expression of joy was palpable. In Bulingbuling's watch, the accurate second hand carried the truth of the world.

Such an exquisite watch, if seen by the group of monarchs in the ballroom, could easily trigger a war.

In fact, the monarchs who peeked at their movements had already noticed it, but they didn't see what the watch was. They thought it was just an accessory. Although they were curious, they didn't care too much.

"As long as you like it, what about the things I ask you to help me with?"

"Oh, don't tell me you want a female rider. This watch is enough to buy the whole of Switzerland. You can have whatever you need."

"That's great, I want you..."

When Christina heard this, her face turned red. Damn it, how could you be so straightforward?

"Cooperate with me to take more photos. I may need to take some staged photos of you going to war. Well, I haven't thought about it yet."

"……OK."

"Okay, please put on this watch now and we'll talk later. It's time for me to get down to business."

After Chen Ye finished speaking, he stood up. After he walked away, the secretarial minister couldn't wait to come over. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the gleaming watch on Christina's wrist.

"Oh my god! What is this?"

"This is a clock. It's like the clock in a church that's bigger than a house. It can tell the time, and it's so small.

The Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty must give it to me. He said that as the Queen of Switzerland, I should wear this kind of watch to be worthy of my status. Prime Minister, what do you think?"

"Of course, you are the Queen of Switzerland and you deserve such exquisite jewelry, which is the only thing in the world."

The secretarial minister listened to Christina's question, and after reacting, he said this sentence as if he was holding back his bowels.

As for this mysterious Ming Dynasty Imperial Guard, the result of their regent meeting's discussion was that they would not provoke him if they could. After all, the demonstration that day flattened a mountain, and no one wanted to try the taste of rocket bombs.

It's just that everything now makes him feel that it is a little beyond his control. If the Ming Dynasty's imperial master really falls in love with Christina.

Then he only needs to provide a few mysterious aircraft with rockets, and Christina will be invincible. When the two have children, Sweden will have to change hands.

The secretarial minister, who was thinking, heard a loud noise coming from the center of the ballroom, and the Ming Dynasty Imperial Master used a method they could not understand to amplify the sound.

"Everyone! Welcome to the Daming Peace and Freedom cruise ship. First of all, I would like to express my sincere apology for my rudeness when I visited you a few days ago.

In order to express my sincerity, and at the same time, to commemorate today, I will now give a Polaroid to everyone present.

Now, I invite everyone to take a photo with me!"

Chen Ye raised his Polaroid and took a picture of everyone in the hall. People who had just seen Chen Ye taking pictures looked at Chen Ye curiously.

They still don’t know what photography is, and there is still a gap of more than two hundred years between the invention of the camera.

The maid on the bed was ordered to queue up to carry the small bag, and distributed a Polaroid in a plastic bag to everyone present. The name "Made in China" on the back of the nameplate was very conspicuous.

As Chen Ye took several photos in succession and passed them on, the kings were all shocked.

"Oh my God! This thing is amazing!"

"For such a precious camera, His Highness the Imperial Master actually gave each of us one. It's so rare."

"I'll take a picture, it's really coming out, it's really coming out!"

"Your Highness the Imperial Preceptor! I forgive your rudeness!"

The vocabulary used to praise Chen Ye was in English, German, French, Dutch and Italian. Chen Ye saw someone taking pictures non-stop and had to remind him.

"Everyone, camera paper is very expensive. A camera can only take fifteen shots, and then the paper needs to be replaced. The price of a photo is one ounce of gold."

"Watt? I just took eight pictures, isn't there only seven left?"

"One ounce of gold for a photo is not expensive. A good oil painting costs more than one ounce of gold. This photo paper can also record all the beautiful things in an instant! Your Highness, let's take a photo together."

"Your Highness, Imperial Master, do you want to buy this from you? I want one hundred ounces first."

Chen Ye's pricing was just a drop in the bucket for European monarchs, who were all willing to spend money to buy photo paper, even if they were using thousands of domestic Polaroids.
