Chapter 971: Paris Dream (Second update, please subscribe)
In the following time, Wang Jingchu seemed to have turned into a press spokesperson, introducing the lives of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty to the French. In fact, as a rich boy, he didn't know much about the lives of ordinary people. All he knew was the lives of a few of his classmates and the workers in his own factory.
However, even so, it is enough to make the French yearn for it.
Many of them even had the idea of "RUN" to the Ming Dynasty.
Finally, after being pestered by the French for more than half an hour to introduce the Ming Dynasty, Wang Jingchu was able to leave the crowd.
After they left, Emily, holding onto her lover's arm, asked curiously.
"Dear, is Daming really like what you said?"
"What?"
"It's very good. It seems that from your introduction, Ming Dynasty is a very perfect country."
Wang Jingchu spoke with great pride about his lover's question.
"Maybe it's not perfect, but Ming is the most suitable country for ordinary people to live in. Dear, there, everyone is well taken care of by the empire. Everyone can get a job and live in a clean and tidy room. Pension insurance and medical insurance can take care of almost everyone..."
The Ming Empire has created an unprecedented miracle!
This is the evaluation of the Ming Empire by many European scholars, and it is also what the people of the Ming Dynasty are proud of. Of course, it is also envied by ordinary Europeans, who also yearn for similar welfare, but they can only yearn for it. After all, the floor of the Ming Dynasty... is still the ceiling of European countries until now.
This is also why, in the parks of Paris, there are people shouting loudly, even yelling "Learn from the Ming Dynasty". Even ordinary people have ordinary people's desires.
"In short, within the empire, the empire takes good care of everyone."
Listening to her lover's answer, Emily's eyes were full of doubts. She didn't know much about the Ming Dynasty, but even so, she knew that these things that sounded very ordinary were exactly what ordinary people desired.
"So, they hope that France can be like the Ming Dynasty."
Is France like the Ming Dynasty?
Wang Jingchu frowned slightly at his fiancée's words.
Could it be the same?
Of course not, at least not right now.
Even as a foreign student, Wang Jingchu witnessed the changes in the Second Empire while studying abroad, but also witnessed how those business owners exploited ordinary workers.
for
At this time, he, who was about to graduate, was once again walking on the streets of Paris with his fiancée.
While strolling on the streets, he would always introduce Ming Dynasty to Emily. After all, they would soon return to Ming Dynasty by boat.
"I know nothing about the Ming Dynasty."
Emily, looking confused, took Wang Jingchu's arm and said.
"But is it enough to have you? I am your wife, and wherever you go, I will follow you."
As Emily spoke, her beautiful blue eyes looked at Wang Jingchu with love.
"Emily, thank you, believe me you will be happy."
Wang Jingchu held Emily's hand and looked at the girl, wanting to reassure her. She was the daughter of the landlord and was originally only responsible for taking care of Wang Jingchu's daily life. However, as she took care of him, he became addicted to the French girl's fiery passion.
This kind of thing is very common among Ming Dynasty students studying abroad. Even though Ming Dynasty is deeply influenced by Latin American culture and its customs are far more open than those in ancient China, in fact, young people in Ming Dynasty are still relatively conservative. They find it difficult to resist the enthusiastic European girls.
However... there is no need for them to resist. After all, for many years, the Ming Dynasty has encouraged international students to solve their personal problems while studying abroad. After all, this is conducive to improving the gender ratio of the Ming Dynasty.
"Yes, I know."
Emily nodded and leaned her head on his shoulder, and the two of them walked on the street in such a close manner.
Occasionally you can see posters posted on telephone poles, most of which are posters opposing the rule of the Second Empire.
"They are really strange. In such a superior and civilized society, what else can they be dissatisfied with?"
"Um……"
When Wang Jingchu was in college, he once listened to a speech by the Republicans, but that was simply out of curiosity. He did not fully understand their ideas, and certainly did not obey their beliefs.
However, for young people who aspire to become loyal subjects of the empire, all of that is too different in level and too stimulating, and it is not something that people like them who study abroad at public expense should be exposed to.
However, when he looked at the posters on the telephone poles intentionally or unintentionally, the crazy words of the man just now were stirring in his mind - "a group of guys who deserve to be hanged."
"Is that really just crazy talk?"
Wang Jingchu muttered to himself.
"What did you say, dear?"
"nothing……"
Wang Jingchu shook his head and smiled.
"I was thinking, we will be back to Ming Dynasty soon, then you will be able to truly understand Ming Dynasty?"
I gazed at the Arc de Triomphe in the distance again. It was a monumental building built by Napoleon, the Emperor of the First French Empire. It is one of the national symbols of France and the symbol and pride of Paris. But… thinking of those people in the park who cheered because of the phrase “a bunch of guys who deserve to be hanged”,
Wang Jingchu sighed unconsciously, with a trace of worry flashing between his brows.
This is his last year studying in France. After returning home, even if he doesn't work in his own shipyard, there are still plenty of jobs waiting for him. Logically speaking, he doesn't need to worry about anything.
But what happened in the park before made him feel very anxious.
Even until the end of the month, when he and his fiancée Emily boarded the cruise ship back home, Wang Jingchu felt a little worried when he saw the crowds of people at the port.
Recently, he has been troubled by some pent-up emotions, and often spends a sleepless night in unbearable tension...
He always recalled what the man said that day, and of course the excitement shown by the onlookers when they heard that sentence, as if for them, "sending the rich to the gallows" was exactly what they expected.
All this is so similar to what happened a century ago, except that at that time, they cheered and sent the nobles to the guillotine. Do they want to send the rich to the guillotine now?
"Fortunately, fortunately, this is France, not Ming Dynasty."
While secretly celebrating in his heart, he inadvertently glanced at the side of his fiancée. Emily was waving excitedly at the relatives who came to see her off - she was going to the Ming Dynasty, the country in the dreams of countless people...
