Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 44 Beichen Palace

Bai Mingxiu got off the boat first, and everyone in Sydney bowed to him.

"Congratulations, Your Royal Highness."

The ceremonial music on the pier has already started playing, which is very different from the western ceremonial bands that Bai Mingxiu is used to. The bands on the pier all use Chinese-style musical instruments. There are no strings and bamboos. Most of them are brass horns and snare drums. and chimes.

This kind of experience made Bai Mingxiu very interested. The city of Sydney looks very modern, but it is still full of the characteristics of Chinese culture.

And in his mind, he also received system prompts.

"[Nanming should be in a place south enough] The main task is completed, and the reward is a modern city: Sydney. Since the host has obtained an important city with a population of more than [-], the host opens the [National Faction Page]."

Bai Mingxiu was greatly surprised, and immediately checked from his AR interface what this so-called national camp was.

Bai Mingxiu opened up the content related to the main ethnic group on his side.

Han nationality-Chinese nation, national characteristics:
Emphasis on culture and education (this nation regards education as the foundation of national reproduction and development, and the prosperity of culture and education will increase by 20%)

Eclectic (this nation has a strong ability to tolerate and assimilate other disadvantaged nations, the friction with other nations decreases by 2%, and the rate of assimilation of other nations increases by 5%)

Vanity (this nation is very face-conscious, and its effectiveness in negotiation and trade is reduced by 1%)

Endless (this nation believes that population prosperity is necessary, and the population growth rate increases by 3%)

Bai Mingxiu pondered over and over, and couldn't help laughing: "In this way, isn't it almost like a game?"

The system replied: "This system originally originated from military history games."

By choosing national policies, economic policies, etc., the entire national camp will be subtly influenced by this awareness. It is not necessary for Bai Mingxiu to have a huge bureaucratic system and officials who are loyal to him, but these things will become part of all his national camps. Everyone will silently implement the established things.Of course, there will still be situations where some people ignore it out of selfish considerations, but there is no need for Bai Mingxiu to give orders.

The welcome at the pier was just a formality. Bai Mingxiu quickly found the head official. He was a middle-aged man with a medium build, a little belly, glasses, and dark skin. His smile was very kind.

"Your Highness, my humble minister Tang Beilu, who is now the Mayor of Sydney, welcomes His Majesty and Your Highness."

Bai Mingxiu nodded to him, feeling that Tang Beilu's aura was more like an official of later generations than an official of this era. He didn't have much sense of rank, neither humble nor overbearing.

"The Holy Emperor has moved to Sydney, will Mr. Tang have a place to stay?"

Tang Beilu smiled and said, "Since the ancestors of the Daming descendants in Sydney came south from Zheng He's fleet, they have been looking forward to returning to Daming day and night. There is Beichen Palace in Sydney, which can be used by Your Majesty."

Bai Mingxiu nodded and said: "That's very good, then let's go to Beichen Palace."

When Bai Mingxiu brought Yongli, the Queen, the Queen Mother and others to Beichen Palace, they discovered that the Beichen Palace they said was actually a palace with a Forbidden City style.Speaking of which, Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang used to be King Gui and had never lived in a real palace at all, but the Beichen Palace in front of him almost satisfied all his imagination.

The name of Beichen Palace comes from "The Analects of Confucius: Second for Politics".For Daming, whose national weapon has fallen by the wayside, this sentence is very appropriate.

The entire Beichen Palace covers an area of ​​about [-] square kilometers. It is a very traditional Chinese-style palace garden. The only thing that is not quite Chinese-style is that the outer city wall of this palace is in the style of a bastion, and it is far-fetched to use eight-star gardens. The shape coincides with the meaning of gossip.

"It looks more like eight stars and eight arrows..." Bai Mingxiu even complained when he entered Miyagi.

Zhu Youlang, on the other hand, was extraordinarily excited, even a little high-spirited.There are dozens of palaces in the whole Beichen Palace, the most magnificent ones are the three halls on the central axis of Beichen Palace.Different from the Forbidden City, the overall style of Beichen Palace is still garden-like, so there are many kinds of landscapes, and it does not have the solemn and depressing feeling of the Forbidden City.

Zhu Youlang was a little overexcited, and murmured, "Is this my palace from now on?"

Bai Mingxiu said from the side: "Yes, father."

Queen Wang looked at this palace and liked it very much. She pulled her son and said: "My son, this Beichen Palace is very good, but why does it look so deserted? There are not many. My son, you can select some loyal and trustworthy young eunuchs and maids to join the palace."

When Zhu Youlang heard it, he nodded and said, "Exactly! Exactly!"

Unexpectedly, Bai Mingxiu refused straight away. He frowned, with a serious face, and said, "Father, Queen Mother, please forgive my child for being unfilial. From now on, I will never practice inhumane methods and create more There are too many eunuchs. This Beichen Palace can invite people to take care of the palace, but I want these people to sign a contract. Within three to five years, they can leave the palace after the contract expires. And don't limit people's personal life every day free."

When Zhu Youlang heard this, he became a little angry, and said, "My son, this is not in line with etiquette!"

Bai Mingxiu shook his head, without any sarcasm, on the contrary he said plainly: "Etiquette did not save me from losing my homeland in the Central Plains, but now those Tartars in Shuntian Mansion want to be a good court for Confucian scholars. To supervise the country, in order to destroy the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, reforms are justified. Don't you want to come to Shuntian Mansion one day, sit in the Golden Palace, and let the ancestors see our efforts?"

To be honest, Zhu Youlang really didn't think about it.Being a little speechless by Bai Mingxiu's words, Zhu Youlang and Queen Wang were a little embarrassed.The current prince seems to be no longer their son, and his power is growing day by day. Instead, they want to tremble in front of the prince Jianguo.

　The white face on New Year's Eve is all by myself. I wonder if you can give me some favorites and recommendation votes so that I won't be lonely anymore.
