Three hundred and ninety-nine Disappointed Chen Long is working with eager Europe
Chen Longzheng had reason to be qualified to maintain his pride. Not only did he think so, but the Genoese also thought so. After Chen Longzheng showed "mysterious and elegant Chinese art", the word was collected by the Governor of Genoa, and I don't know when it will be made public.
However, the Governor of Genoa's enthusiasm for Chen Longzheng has reached a higher level and invited Chen Longzheng to take a car to visit the customs and customs of Genoa with him.
This was what Chen Longzheng liked, so Chen Longzheng did not refuse and agreed happily. He thought he would see a lot of novel things, but what he saw in his eyes made him disappointed.
There are few people, small cities, dilapidated and dirty, this is his first intuitive impression of Europe.
There were very few people. He thought he had seen many people in the port, and he thought Europeans were as large as China, and he thought there were crowds of people everywhere. However, when he really started to visit this city known as the most prosperous and wealthy in Europe, he was disappointed to find that in addition to the Governor's Mansion and some of the very distinctive buildings around him, most of the buildings were low, dilapidated and unruly, and more importantly, there were very few people.
It seems that the entire population gathered in the port. There seems to be few people in the city now. There are many people on both sides of the road before. However, after walking for a while, it seems like entering a no-man's land. It smells very bad, and it has a strange smell. He has smelled this smell in some rural areas of the Ming Dynasty. It is something that farmers have to do in order to fertilize. Human feces and urine are all fertilizers and are used for farming.
But this is in the city, and the cities of the Ming Dynasty have very strict hygiene requirements. If you dare to urinate and defecate on the street, you will be caught by the government and take off your pants and hit the board. It will see if you dare to urinate and defecate anywhere. Perhaps this situation still occurs in some dark alleys, but at least the places where pedestrians on both sides of the road can see no shit or urine.
However, this city can see shit and urine on the side of the road. Chen Longzheng even witnessed several children squatting together and defecating, and then running away with laughter.
He was a little nauseous and a little urge to vomit.
In Myanmar, when Xiao Ruxun was planning the city, he planned and designed a facility called "public toilet" in many corners of the city, forcibly stipulated that citizens and outsiders must go to these places to solve urination and defecation when they were relieved, otherwise they would be caught by the government and be fined by the board, and the amount of fines was quite large. After a while, people strictly followed the regulations of the government and went to the public toilet to solve urination and defecation.
Because of the odor problem, Xiao Ruxun will arrange for people to burn some herbs that have the effect of odor and insect repellent twice a day. Then before sunset every day, someone will pull the feces and urine from the public toilets out of the city and send them to the farmland to farmers, so that the farmers can dry them and mix them with the grass, and use them as fertilizer. Because there are many migrant populations and few farmlands, the feces produced in several major cities every day are enough for farmers to use.
Therefore, in Myanmar cities, you can't smell that smell. Therefore, when you leave the aristocratic area and enter the civilian living area, Chen Longzheng is very uncomfortable. He asked Governor Genoa inexplicably - why don't you deal with these feces and urine? It's not only bad or good-looking when placed on the roadside, but also easy to cause infectious diseases!
The Governor of Genoa looked at Chen Longzheng incomprehensible and explained - Isn't this a normal thing? When you go to any city, it's like this. This is pretty good because it's the capital. There are some regulations. If you want to go to some small cities, even we can't stand the taste!
Chen Longzheng was shocked - why don’t you deal with it?
Governor Genoa was confused - what to do? Is this a very normal thing?
Matteo Ricci couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly pulled Chen Longzheng's sleeve - let alone, there are all such European cities here. There are not as many people as your Ming Dynasty, so there is less feces and urine, so no one wants to deal with it. It has always been like this, and I can't even eat enough, so I still have the heart to care about this? Do you think every city is Yangon?
Matteo Ricci was actually a little unbearable. After living in the Ming Dynasty and Myanmar for many years, he was no longer used to the stinky atmosphere that he had adapted very much.
Chen Longzheng could only breathe normally after returning to the aristocratic area. The smelly aura just now made him dizzy and almost fainted. He was beaten to death and refused to travel to other places. After that, the recruitment of talents was Matteo Ricci went out to run and contact him, and then brought him to see Chen Longzheng. After the interview, Chen Longzheng felt that he met Xiao Ruxun's requirements, so he asked him if he would like to live and work in China.
Most of them agreed directly, and a small number seemed to have some doubts, so they did not dare to agree. After all, it was too far away. Although the legend was very wonderful, people who had the courage to travel to China from the ocean were basically alone and had no worries. The kind of family was not hungry when they were fed by one person. In addition, the salary given by China sounded very good, so some people decided to take a gamble and take a look.
Chen Longzheng received 100 or 20 invitations every day, asking him to go to the homes of all the nobles to attend a banquet. As time went by, the news of the Chinese arriving in Genoa spread from Genoa to the surrounding areas. The Principal of Milan learned about it, the Pope knew about it, and even the French people who were a little further apart knew about it. They took action and sent people to Genoa to see the Chinese style and ask if there was any possibility of cooperating in business.
They don't know what the Chinese have for arriving in Genoa, but they also have some sources of information, saying that the Chinese seem to plan to establish a trade partnership with Genoa, to do business with Genoa, sell Chinese silk porcelain and tea, etc.
Such news is enough to make these people jealous and crazy. Everyone knows how much profit the porcelain tea and silk business is. How can the Genoese people monopolize such benefits? Everyone has to get a share of the pie! Representatives of the central government, merchants, and feudal lords and nobles rushed to Genoa to meet the Chinese.
