Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhen Juan 1 Sleepy Shoal 755 Cardinal Mazarin has been appointed Prime Minister of France again.

    When this news reached the diplomatic missions, Chinese officials felt that it was outrageous.  A guy who caused two aristocratic rebellions and two uprisings by the common people had nothing to do.

    Taking the inland river boat, the mission went to Paris, and heard a lot of discussions on the way.

    ? Traditional nobles and ordinary people hated Mazarin deeply.  Officials and businessmen celebrate with each other, as long as Mazarin continues to be prime minister, they can make money without any scruples.

    "This city is called Rouen, and Joan of Arc in France was burned to death here." Charles said, pointing to the city by the river.

    "Saint?" Zhang Ruifeng subconsciously thought of the White Lotus Sect.

    Charles began to tell the story of Joan of Arc, and everyone sighed and regarded Joan of Arc as the "French woman Yue Fei".

    Prince Charles continued: "From Port Grace by the Sea, along the Seine River to Paris, among all the cities that pass along the way, Rouen is the most prosperous and prosperous. It used to be the capital of the Duchy of Normandy, and it has always been the focus of competition between Britain and France.  Not only Joan of Arc was burned to death here, but also a Rouen priest who announced the excommunication of the King of England. Jews accounted for more than one-fifth of the entire city¡¯s population. Although they were expelled many times, the Jews became more and more  More and more. I like Rouen because the city is jerk enough and there's a lot of fun to be had in the neighborhood."

    The ship docked at the river port, and the main envoys did not disembark, but only sent people to purchase food and beverages.

    Pan Wei and Cai Yuncheng, along with several civil and military officials, went into the city to inquire about various information.  The military officers observed the city defense system, and the civil servants learned about the local conditions and customs, and inquired about the special products and prices here.

    The navy and half of the guards stayed in the harbor, and only 500 guards followed to Paris.

    When a large group of Chinese landed, the city of Rouen became an instant sensation, and the citizens rushed to watch.

    Cai Yuncheng asked: "Your Highness, which industry is the most prominent in this city?"

    "Wool spinning," Charles explained, "a large amount of wool is shipped from England and Spain every year, and spun into various woolen materials in Rouen. The food produced in France is gathered in Rouen and shipped to the seaport for England."

    At this time in Europe, the French industry was far stronger than the British, and the wool textile industry was also stronger in France.

    Everyone entered a tavern, and the customers inside stopped talking for a moment, and all turned their heads to look at them in surprise.

    Some people even came over to chat: "Are you from India?"

    Just as Prince Charles was about to correct him, Cai Yuncheng secretly kicked him.  So everyone kept quiet and pretended not to understand French.

    The chatter was very disappointed and sat back to continue drinking.  "

    "These people must be from India!"

    "No, it's from China. I heard that the Chinese emperor sent an envoy to visit His Majesty the King."

    "Your Majesty the King? Hey, it's only right to visit the Queen Mother. I don't know if the Queen Mother is free, maybe she's still lying on the Prime Minister's bed."

    "When the king comes of age, the prime minister will definitely be executed."

    "That may be"

    The envoy invited several French translators, and at the moment they translated into Latin in a low voice, and the Latin translator translated into Chinese.

    Pan Wei and Cai Yuncheng looked at each other in dismay.

    Could it be that the Queen Mother of France really had an affair with the French Prime Minister?

    This kind of rumor had spread throughout France before the Parisian people's uprising.

    After listening in the tavern for a while, everyone went to the industrial area.  There are a large number of wool textile workshops here. In addition, industries such as wine making, pottery making, and leather making are also prosperous.

    Of course, there are many red light districts.

    After wandering around for a long time, Cai Yuncheng felt that Rouen was like a big county in southern China.

    Densely populated, with well-developed industry and commerce, the disadvantage is that the sanitary conditions are very poor.

    There is only a simple drainage system here, and domestic sewage is basically poured into the Seine River.  What's even more frightening is that occasionally you can see excrement and urine on the street, all of which are poured down from the second floor-residents facing the street, spilled in wooden barrels at night, and poured it directly onto the street in the morning.

    Pan Wei asked Charles: "Your Highness, is it the same in Paris? There are no farmers to collect excrement?"

    "Isn't that the case in China?" Charles asked back.

    Pan Wei can only explain: "In big cities in China, farmers go door-to-door to collect waste every morning. Residents in the city put the waste in buckets and sell it all to farmers to take away."

    Charles was even more puzzled: "The farmer is not a fool, how could he buy it?""He is easy to forgive the mistakes of his enemies, but he is also easy to forget to do good to his own people."

    This guy is extremely stingy with his subordinates and officials, and doesn't take anything away.

    Overtly and secretly, he was greedy to death, and left 200 million livres of property after his death, equivalent to the total tax revenue of France for two years, and equivalent to the income of the French royal family for six and a half yearsall were confiscated by Louis XIV.

    The French version of Heshen!

    "Bang bang bang!"

    The salute was fired, and the Musketeers also fired their guns into the sky.

    Immediately the band began to play, and several carriages more luxurious than those of the Portuguese royal family stopped in the open space by the river.

    The court guard unrolled the rolled carpet, which stretched from the pier to the carriage.  Distinguished Chinese guests can get on the car by stepping on the carpet all the way without stepping on the dirty land.

    The luxury of the Portuguese royal family is nothing compared to the French royal family.
