Chapter 1418 This is the Netherlands?
Frederick inexplicably developed a good impression of the Ming Dynasty, which played a good role in promoting the Ming Dynasty's subsequent work.
So he happily decided to meet guests from Daming.
Among these guests were an emperor envoy from the Ming Dynasty and a Navy Mr. from the Ming Dynasty.
If ordinary people were not satisfied with Frederick, but who made the Ming Dynasty happy for Frederick? Frederick really wanted to meet these good friends of the Ming Dynasty.
Yes, that's right, Frederick has regarded the Ming Dynasty as a good friend. As long as he admits that he becomes the king, he is his good friend.
Moreover, Frederick, the Ming Dynasty, seemed to have heard of it. He heard that this country is very powerful and full of gold. It is a country worth intersecting with.
So the Ming fleet was allowed to park into the port, and then boarded the carriage convoy sent by Frederick to head towards the castle where he lived and worked.
Frederick put on his ornate prince's gown and held in his hand the scepter symbolizing power, and the gems on it glittered.
In order to meet this friend from Daming, Frederick dressed up specially, and he wanted to show off his wealth and power to Daming.
At least we must let the people of the Ming Dynasty know that his Netherlands is not an ordinary country, and it is also one of the strongest countries in Europe.
For this purpose, he specially ordered his guard to unfold a welcome queue in front of the castle gate, and then used the mighty spirit of the army to shock these strangers from the Ming Dynasty.
Frederick's actions puzzled many Dutch people. It was rare to see the guards appearing and even posing for a formation in the castle.
Amsterdam City hasn't been so lively for a long time.
So many Dutch people gathered to watch the fun. They stood on the street one by one, and the windows of the houses along the street were also pushed open. Many women stretched out their heads and looked curiously in the direction outside.
The convoy was marching on the street, and Zheng Zhilong and Li Xin were also curiously looking at the surrounding situation.
Li Xin looked a little curious when he looked at this house that was completely different from the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty.
It was the smell on this street that made him very... How could he say it was like entering a super large toilet.
How big is this toilet? It may be as big as this city.
Li Xin stretched his head out and looked outside, but was pulled back by Zheng Zhilong.
"Lieutenant Colonel Li, don't stick your head around, be careful of something on it." Zheng Zhilong pointed to the finger and said meaningfully.
"What? What is there? What can I find in heaven?" Li Xin asked in confusion.
"Haha, of course it's shit and pee. The people here know what it means to collect the night fragrance. They pour shit and pee through the window every day on the road, so they have to be careful, otherwise they will be covered in shit and pee." Zheng Zhilong said as if I were a person who had been here.
Why do you say he is a veteran? In fact, he has been to the Netherlands once. That time, it is really unspeakable. The smell of the whole Amsterdam made him vomit it out.
Moreover, he didn't understand the rules here at that time. When he was walking on the street with his people, someone knocked on the window above his head, and the group didn't take it seriously. As a result, he watched a bucket of shit and urine fall from top. One of them could not dodge and was so happy that he was dripping from head to toe.
But he and the others were disgusted.
Later, after inquiring, I found out that there was such a strange rule here, and I blamed them for being outsiders who didn’t know such things at all.
After hearing this, Li Xin opened his mouth. It was the first time he saw such an unhygienic place.
You should know that shit and urine are good things. As the saying goes, it is called a flower in the dealer. It depends entirely on the manure. He heard that in the countryside of the Ming Dynasty, many people could get rid of a piece of manure. I didn’t expect that it would be so wasteful in this place in the Netherlands.
This kind of good fertilizer was thrown on the street and no one wanted it.
And does the Netherlands care about hygiene at all? You should know that the Ming Dynasty now has hygiene management regulations. If you throw garbage, you will be fined in the street, and then sweep the streets clean for three days as a punishment.
In addition, His Majesty also ordered the construction of many toilets for people to facilitate.
This manure is the most dirty, but it can spread external evil. Are these Dutch people not afraid of getting infected or something?
In the past, Li Xin didn’t know what hygiene was or what external evil was to infect diseases, but since the army began to talk about hygiene, fewer people were sick, and he realized how important hygiene was.
"The barbarians are barbarians." Li Xin looked disdainful.
"Lin Colonel Li is careful. It's okay to say this to me. You can't say it in front of people here. These people are very shameful." Zheng Zhilong reminded.
"This is natural." Li Xin nodded, he was not a fool, so why didn't he know what to say and what not to say?
It was these Dutch people who broke through his bottom line so much that he had to complain about it.
The Dutch people were very excited at this time, watching and waiting around Frederick Castle to watch the fun.
"Aunt Mia, have you heard that the person who came was Mingren?" said a young man with flax hair and mud on his face as if showing off.
He just heard a few words from behind a nobleman and knew some news from the person who came. So, he hurried back and show off.
"Mingren! Oh my God! They are actually Mingren!" Aunt Mia's figure that is comparable to a black bear made her look surprised when her little daughter covered her mouth. It was really inconsistent.
"Ah, it turns out to be a Mingren."
"Oh, they are wise people."
The few people next to him nodded as if they knew Mingren very well.
"What are those Ming people?" asked a very straightforward young man with black hair and blue eyes. He didn't know what Ming people were, but he knew them very well, so he thought about asking.
"A wise man..."
"Mingren is...well...that's..."
A few guys who knew Mingren just now had nothing to say, and they could only look around to hide their embarrassment.
However, some people still have some understanding of the Ming Dynasty. A small businessman with a box on his back stood up and he knew a little about the Ming people.
"You don't know that the Ming people are in the far east, far away from us, and there are gold everywhere. Do you know the most popular snow sugar in the nobles now? It's something from the Ming Dynasty."
"Oh oh oh oh!"
There were a lot of people around.
It turns out that snow candy comes from the Ming Dynasty. They have also heard of some things among the nobles that even God said to have eaten them, called snow candy. It is said that after eating them, you can see the happiest thing in your life.
