At Ye Mingzhu's reminder, Liu Dian, the Minister of Rites, looked at the exit and saw a group of Turks, and immediately cheered up.

He straightened his clothes slightly and went forward with his people to meet the Ottoman prime minister and his entourage.

"Hello, Liu Dian, the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, welcomes the Prime Minister of the Ottoman Empire to our Ming Dynasty!"

Liu Dian, who was dressed in crimson robes, came forward to say hello and looked up and down at the leader Mustafa Pasha.

I saw that the prime minister was in typical Ottoman Empire style, wearing a turban, gold and silver, and a big beard.

Mustafa Pasha and Jew Shain both understood Ming dialect and were immediately flattered.

Because with the in-depth understanding, they became more and more in awe of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty sent the Minister of Rites to receive them. For them now, the standards are quite high.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Liu, for coming to greet me. We are really flattered."

After Mustafa Pasha heard this, he quickly responded.

His fluent Chinese and familiar etiquette surprised even Liu Dian, the Minister of Etiquette.

This Turkic guy is not Turkic at all.

It seems that Jin Yiwei's information about their group was not shared with the Minister of Rites.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, has come a long way. I am sorry for not being able to welcome you from afar. We will prepare a little wine to welcome you and wash away the dust. Please give me your blessing."

Mustafa Pasha naturally accepted it happily. He finally came to the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty and had to appreciate it.

Soon, everyone left the train station in a luxurious four-wheel carriage and headed towards a restaurant in the inner city that specialized in receiving foreign guests.

Liu Dian and Shao Tingcai rode in the same carriage with Mustafa Pasha so that they could explain to him some things in the capital.

The four-wheeled carriage moved forward on the spacious concrete road, with the windows open, Mustafa Pasha curiously looked at everything in Yingtian.

The road is very spacious and divided into two sides. Each side can drive eight four-wheel carriages at the same time. This is eight lanes!

A large number of landscape trees are planted in the middle and on both sides of the road, many sidewalks are divided, and pedestrian bridges are built in some places.

It actually knows how to take care of pedestrians, it is indeed the kindest place.

Mustafa Pasha looked through the car window and saw an extremely large number of carriages on the road, even far more than those seen in Hangzhou.

These carriages are full of luxury, and the horses pulling them are all high-quality horses. Many carriages even use horses of the same color to pull the carriages, giving them a standardized beauty.

On the spacious road, horse-drawn carriages were constantly passing by, and the sidewalks on both sides were filled with people, making it extremely busy.

There are many high-rise buildings in the distance, and the glass windows reflect bright and dazzling light. Some buildings are even as high as ten stories.

For people of this era, this building stands on the ground like a giant, making people look up to it.

This building is the Jinyi Building, the tallest building in the imperial capital, and is the office building of Jinyiwei.

Such a tall building also sends a signal to officials: The Imperial Guards are watching you!

The various fashionable Ming Dynasty people walking along the street are all exquisitely dressed and have unique tastes. They are completely different from the Ming Dynasty people in other places, and they are more fashionable and elegant.

Especially the girls in the capital, who dress up in colorful and colorful clothes, put on rouge, gouache and other makeup, and look like the richest ladies of a noble family.

There are many shops on both sides of the road, most of which are designed with large glass windows, so that passers-by can directly see the indoor products and lively sales scenes.

Mustafa Pasha admired the scene in front of him intently, while Liu Dian and Shao Tingcai beside him were already accustomed to these scenes.

Occasionally they glanced at Mustafa Pasha to see if he had anything to ask.

Mustafa Pasha was fascinated by what he saw and asked: "The buildings and streets here are very beautiful, but the population of this capital is much larger than that of other metropolises. How can we ensure smooth traffic?"

Liu Dian smiled and explained: "The Ming Dynasty adopted some advanced traffic control technologies. For example, flaggers were set up at congested intersections to control the direction and speed of traffic. Each carriage must strictly abide by traffic rules, otherwise it will be fined.

In addition, Daming also built a large number of underground passages and above-ground overpasses to facilitate the flow of pedestrians and vehicles between different levels."

Shao Tingcai added: "In addition to these measures, there is also strict vehicle type control in Ming Dynasty. The use of horse-drawn carriages must meet certain standards, and unqualified vehicles cannot be driven on the road. This will not only ensure smooth roads, but also improve transportation safety."

Mustafa Pasha nodded and praised: "The Ming Dynasty is really an efficient and sophisticated country."

The car soon arrived at its destination - a grand and luxuriously decorated restaurant.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty who were welcoming the Ottoman Prime Minister and his entourage had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Liu Dian led Mustafa Pasha and Jewish Shain into the restaurant. The private room they went to was called the Turkic Hall, which was specially used to receive Ottomans and Persians.

The vivid Turkic style impressed Mustafa Pasha and the Jewish Shain.

The table is filled with various wines and dishes, all delicious and delicious.

Mustafa Pasha and Jewish Shain tasted delicious food, drank fine wine, and enjoyed the Ming Dynasty's hospitality, feeling extremely happy in their hearts.

"It was a wonderful experience," Mustafa Pasha thanked Liu Dian and Shao Tingcai. "If I have a chance in this life, I will definitely come to Ming Dynasty again."

Shao Tingcai smiled and said: "You're welcome, Prime Minister. The Ming Empire has always been an open and tolerant country and welcomes guests from all over the world to come and visit."

Liu Dian also joined in: "I hope the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Dynasty can establish friendly relations and develop and prosper together."

Mustafa Pasha nodded in agreement and expressed his willingness to contribute to the friendly relations between the two countries.

After the meal, Liu Dian and Shao Tingcai accompanied Mustafa Pasha and Jewish Shain on a four-wheeled carriage again. Along the way, they visited many places of interest in the Ming Dynasty's imperial capital and felt the cultural heritage and humanistic charm of the Ming Dynasty.

Mustafa Pasha was very tired after a day of travel. The place where he lives today is called the Diplomatic Hall, which is a hotel for foreign guests.

At Yingtian No. 2 Steelmaking Plant, as the steel workers shouted slogans in unison, they opened the outlet of the blast furnace forcefully, and a stream of hot molten steel surged out, and then was quickly diverted to each individual in advance.

The cast modules are directly processed into various rough blanks.

This steelmaking plant was newly established and is no longer within the General Administration of Manufacturing. It is a place where foreign guests and arms business partners can visit.

Mustafa Pasha, led by Ming officials, watched the entire steelmaking process.

When they saw the surging molten steel, Mustafa Pasha, Schein and others' eyes widened.

"No wonder the Ming Empire was able to build a large number of railways. Without strong smelting technology and a strong steel industry, it would simply not be able to support such a huge infrastructure."
