Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 1906: civilized feeling
Earl Carlton's silk shirts, fine cashmere tops, trousers, silk dome hats, leather shoes, folding fans, etc. are all standard for the gentry of the Tang Dynasty today.
but!
That's not all!
As a decent Tang Dynasty gentleman, you still need a cape when you go out. When the weather is good, you can use a short cape, and when the weather is cold, you can use a long cape. This cape is naturally the best choice for all kinds of fur, and the price is not cheap.
Earl Carlton is wearing a long cloak now, but this cloak is not a new one he bought, but a fox cloak given to him by the Kingdom of Denmark. It is said to have a history of more than 80 years, but it is saved He spent a lot of money.
It's just what you're wearing!
If it is in the mainland of Datang, a decent gentleman is very particular about going out.
For example, in winter, a pair of expensive and exquisite leather gloves is also a must.
In fact, this habit is not something that the Chinese people have since ancient times, because the traditional Chinese costumes are all wide and long-sleeved, and the hands can be directly tucked into the sleeves. People do not have the habit of wearing gloves, but Europeans have this habit.
But the gloves worn by Europeans and the leather gloves of the Tang Dynasty are completely different concepts.
The fact that people in the Tang Dynasty wear gloves is still passed down from the army, because military uniforms are all shirts with narrow sleeves for the convenience of combat. Gloves.
That's not the point.
The point is that at the beginning of the Huangzhushan period, the great, greater than the sun, Li Xuan, the Son of Heaven, began to wear gloves.
The uniform of the Son of Heaven is unique and unique in the world.
From the portraits of the Son of Heaven in military uniforms written by many painters, we can see the uniforms of the Son of Heaven in the early days.
The Son of Heaven usually wears a single-breasted blouse with a navy blue dragon pattern, straight trousers, long leather boots, a sword around the waist, white or black leather gloves, and a top hat.
At the same time, they are often riding high-headed horses!
The Son of Heaven is wearing gloves, and the generals in the follow-up generally do the same, and later, it is the general behavior of the whole army.
Then this habit was introduced to the people. The professional attire that was originally imitated from the military uniform naturally included gloves.
A pair of exquisite black leather gloves cost Earl Carlton three Tang Yuan again.
Not counting the cloak, this outfit on Earl Carlton cost about thirty-five Tang Yuan!
Of course, Earl Carlton is not an ordinary person either. These thirty-five Tang Yuan are a large amount for ordinary people, but they are not in his eyes.
What he valued more was that his dress was exactly the same as his dress except for a few soldiers from the Tang Dynasty who came to greet him.
It gave him a sense of being in a civilized world.
After a brief greeting from both sides, the greeter sent by Datang took them on a carriage to the European Hotel.
Although the only person who came to greet him was a sixth-rank official in the Tang Dynasty, Carlton still did not dare to show any contempt along the way, but instead deliberately flattered in his words.
He didn't even forget to say a Tang dialect he just learned: "I have seen adults."
Earl Carlton knew about the rank of officials in Datang, there were nine and eighteen grades in total, but he knew better that when Datang was stationed in the prefecture of Ceuta, there were only five ranks.
Officials of the sixth rank may be nothing in their homeland, but in Ceuta, and even in the entire European region, they are already considered to be relatively important officials of the Tang Dynasty.
But this is just Carlton's idea. In fact, Ye Zhouxian has a rank who came to greet him. Earl.
This kind of thing is only the ability of marginal officials, and none of the dignitaries in Ceudari will surrender their status to take over a small earl of the native country.
Ye Zhouxian was not a local official of the Ceuta Prefecture yamen, but a diplomat.
If it is a high-ranking diplomat of the sixth rank, in a place like Europe, it is naturally a good position. If it is placed in an ordinary consulate, it is often a full-fledged consul.
But he also had a bad time in the embassy in Europe.
He is currently working at the Embassy of the Tang Empire in Europe as the Counselor of the Nordic Office in the embassy.
In the official organizations of the Tang Dynasty, the heads of some organizations may use titles such as supervisor, meeting, co-organizer, counselor, etc., but the titles such as director and deputy director are only different in terms of title.
There's nothing special about it, um, unless the word 'imperial' hangs in front of it, for example, Qiao Haozhong, who was ordered to supervise European military affairs!
The same is the supervision, but that is a completely different concept.
Ye Zhouxian's counselor, you can see from this series of orders how far behind the order is, not to mention in the entire embassy in Europe, even in Northern Europe, his authority is only ranked fourth. , but also subject to certain exclusion.
It's just that Earl Carlton doesn't know about this kind of thing.
He took a few people and followed behind the Tang officials who came to greet them. They first left the wharf area, and then each got on a four-wheeled carriage. After getting on the carriage, Earl Carlton could tell that the carriage must be from the Tang Dynasty. Shipped locally.
It is so comfortable to sit on, and it must be the highest-grade shock spring.
Although the spring is nothing new at present, many European countries and even the Tatars can produce their own springs on a small scale and use them for military purposes: the firing mechanism for flintlock guns.
Even now, the Tang Dynasty has released the export restrictions on the flintlock guns. Basically, they can buy the flintlock guns of the Tang Dynasty with money. Even the Tartars can buy the flintlock guns of the Tang Dynasty through indirect channels!
However, as a special steel, spring steel~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is still in the list of restricted exports, and all exports need to be approved.
This is also the same as many industrial products of Datang. It is not impossible to export, but restricted export, especially all kinds of high-tech raw materials and processing equipment are prohibited.
However, like a carriage with shock-absorbing spring steel installed, it can be exported.
Earl Carlton is a person who knows goods. As soon as he does it, he knows that he is riding a high-end carriage produced locally by Datang, which is much better than the four-wheeled carriage he had in Denmark.
The convoy of horses and carriages moved along the port road, and Earl Carlton also saw a lot of scenery on the road, but it did not surprise him too much.
Because he had seen many things, but when the carriage left the port area and entered a line along the coast, it surprised him instantly.
