In addition to the military band and children, standing were a group of policemen in straight police uniforms. They are here to be responsible for maintaining law and order. After all, nearly 15000 members of the Nanming observation mission have come. Their safety must be guaranteed.
To this end, one of the police chief officers of the cabinet, long Tienan, also came.
Three of the five cabinet elders appeared, which is enough to prove that the Yang Department attached importance to the Nanming observation group.
Besides the police, there were some officials from the foreign ministry and some people who came to watch.
It is not true that they are common people. Most of them are welcome representatives selected by various units. They are dressed in neat clothes, tall and straight, most of the men are handsome, and most of the women are beautiful. They are full of energy and spirit, showing the style of the Han people who are now embedded in the city.
In addition to these Han people, there is also an alien welcome group composed of 500 people.
Among them, there are white skin, black skin, yellow hair, red hair and blue eyes. They were all nationalities captured by the Yang family, and they were also the ones who performed better among all nationalities. Putting them here proves the strength of the Yang system and the dignity of the Han people.
The whole welcome mission has only more people than the observation mission, nearly 20000. But even so, the square in front of the new Wharf in chixian city is still not crowded. Just last year, the wharf was expanded again, not to mention only 30000 or 40000 people. Even if 100000 people were here, there was no problem.
Everything on the dock has long been seen clearly by the observer group. When I saw the welcome scene, as a member of the observation team, I was naturally full of pride and pride. After all, whoever went to a strange place wanted to be welcomed by others, not white eyed.
But there are also some people, mainly officials of the Southern Ming Dynasty. They keep smiling on their faces, but they are beating drums at the bottom of their hearts. How can the people who welcome them have such a good mental outlook? Are these people really ordinary people, not the gentry and nobles in the city?
Think about the current state of the people in Nanming. Although it is said that they will not starve to death, most people are yellow and thin, and their eyes are dull. They are like walking corpses. How can they be as energetic as the people who meet them?
"Could it be disguised?"
At the moment, there are obviously not a few people with such ideas. Officials decided to wait until they entered the city to have a good look. They believed that they could tell whether it was true or false.
The ship finally landed, and then came out of the first ship were Chen Xun, the Minister of officials of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and Wang Zuo, the Minister of household. They can join the observation group, which is not only their own meaning, but also the meaning of Zhu Qizhen, emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Two officials, one in charge and the other in charge of the money and food of a country, came this time with an attitude of learning. I want to see how the Yang family accumulated so much money and food and employed people.
Speaking of it, both Yu Qian and Shen you know them. In particular, Yu Qian's position was basically equal to theirs. As soon as the old friend met, he naturally went forward with a smile.
Seeing Yu Qian and Shen you coming, there was something unnatural about whether the official was Chen Xun or Wang Zuo.
In the past, they all belonged to the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but now they are their masters. The key is that Yu Qian and Shen you obviously mix better. On the ship when they came, people from the Yang family told them about the general situation of chiembedded City, including the old saying of the five cabinet.
Think of others, they are old, but they are just a Book of history. In addition, the Nanming Dynasty is now in turmoil. The Yang system is like the sun in the middle of the sky, and the gap between the two sides will only be greater.
Shen you, in particular, used to be a small person and a low-level official in their eyes, but now he has become one of the cabinet elders of the Yang family, holding the power of life and death. If you have studied the huge territory of the Yang system, you will know that their real power is even greater than the king of a small country. This person is really angry.
"Welcome, welcome." Yu Qian and Shen you smiled and stretched out their right hands to Chen Xun and Wang Zuo.
In other people's territory, this time I came to learn lessons. The two ministers also dared not have the slightest carelessness. They also quickly extended their right arm, and then held their four big hands together.
The etiquette of shaking hands does not belong to Daming, but now everyone has done so, and there is no sense of violation. No wonder this etiquette will be accepted by Chinese people in future generations.
After a Xun and Wang Zuo, people like Xie Chong, Minister of rites, Xiao Pei, Minister of punishment, Wei Luo, Minister of works, Kuang ye, Minister of war, and Shang Pei, censor of Du Yu, also came down from other ships. Both sides saluted and said hello to each other.
"The battle is not small." Kuang ye, the Minister of the Ministry of war, got off the ship and his face was a little ugly. In his opinion, it was clearly the power of the Yang Department to them. With so many people, what is this not a demonstration?
Kuang Ye is a veteran, because he is in charge of the military department and naturally has a better temper than ordinary people. Now Nanming is going to face Yang. It is conceivable that he will have such a performance. After Yu Qian and Shen you looked at each other, they didn't care, but smiled. Then he said, "this is what our king means. Whether you like it or not, you should abide by our rules when you come here. Otherwise, please go back. The ship is right there and can go at any time."
Kuang ye, who was choked, wanted to turn around and leave now. But thinking of his mission, he finally endured it. After a cold hum from the corners of his mouth, he stopped talking.
The other ministers smiled awkwardly. They didn't understand human feelings like Kuang ye, so naturally they wouldn't stand with him, let alone turn around and leave.
Seeing that no one was talking, Yu Qian smiled and said, "even if everyone has no opinion, let's listen to the arrangement. Come and offer flowers."
As soon as the voice fell, the pupils who had already stood for a while came forward with wreaths, came to the officials, padded their feet and put the colorful wreaths in their hands one by one on the officials' neck.
Adults are always the most tolerant of children. Not to mention such lovely pupils, they didn't want things, but sent wreaths, so this link was completed smoothly. After that, the long prepared trams drove to the square open space in front of the wharf, and the members of the observation team entered the cars in batches.
When entering the car, the members of the observation group all had a sense of curiosity on their faces, such as Chen Xun, Wang Zuo and so on. Obviously, they are very curious about the thing in front of them. Rows of clean and tidy seats are placed in front of them. When they sit on their hips, they feel the softness of sponges. Then there is a clear different kind of glass in front of them, so that they can see everything outside from the inside out.
When all the members of the observation group entered the car and took their seats one by one according to the guides, the first tram started, slowly drove out of the square and drove straight to the chixian urban area. At this moment, screams came and went.
Both the people sitting in the first electric vehicle and those in other vehicles screamed when they saw that the car without horse pull or man push began to walk slowly "spontaneously" on the road.
People always have a fear of the unknown. Especially when the appearance of a thing exceeds people's imagination, that fear is exacerbated.
The members of the observation mission were screaming. No matter what kind of officials they were, they were shouting like nothing at the moment. They may be excited, surprised, or afraid from the bottom of their heart.
Fortunately, in each car, in addition to the necessary driver, there is also a young and beautiful female soldier commentator of Yang Department, who is wearing a military uniform. Their voices sounded in time and began to explain the principle of electric vehicles and why the car can walk spontaneously.
Although no one can really understand the principles of the these women soldiers, at least everyone knows that it is not a spell used. Everything is the result of the scientific progress. Finally, some riots were suppressed, and members began to observe the things inside and outside the car with curiosity.
The four members of Wang Zuo's family are also in a starting tram. The car moves slowly and runs on the main road. As they get closer to the embedded urban area, the surrounding high-rise buildings begin to increase.
"What a beautiful city. It's more beautiful than Kyoto. It's clean and the air is good," said Wang Chang, a granddaughter in a row behind them.
"Yes, it's really beautiful here." Mrs. Wang song also sighed, and her eyes will change with the constant changes of the surrounding scenery.
Wang Zhicheng, the eldest grandson who had always been calm, pointed out to the outside and shouted, "look, what's that? It's so fast that one can fly away."
Needless to say, Wang Zhicheng must have seen the bicycle walking in the bicycle lane next to the tram. Such things, not to mention, have become popular in the whole city. At least some people can afford them, so now there is an army of bicycles on the main road.
"This thing can also pull a person. It's so powerful. Brother, you can buy one and then pull me?" Wang Shang was obviously shocked, and then he pulled Wang Zhicheng's arm with a happy face and a begging face.
"Well, if we can buy it, we must buy one." Wang Zhicheng also vowed.
