Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1137

[Chapter 1137 Judgment]

“Everyone will stay here tonight, a small humble house, I hope you don’t mind.” The post where

Da Song entertains foreign envoys is called the State Guest Post.

This newly built three-storey building combines the styles of Dasong and modern architecture.

It can not only reflect the cultural characteristics of Dasong, but also reflect the progress of Dasong’s civilization.

In addition to the appearance and structure, the decoration of the State Guest House is also very fashionable.

The floor of the lobby is beautifully tiled.

Since the businessman learned from the patent department that in addition to firing porcelain, ceramic tiles can also be fired.

Ceramic tiles, a building decoration material, became popular in Dasong.

The State Guest House is not exempt.

Above the ground, there are crystal lamps hanging.

But this is not a real crystal, but a glass product, but a filament is installed inside the glass.

Such a crystal lamp can not only illuminate, but also look beautiful.

After it came out, many families with extra money replaced incandescent lamps with crystal lamps.

“Vice Minister Su is too modest. If this is also a small humble house, then our Winter Palace in Petersburg will also feel ashamed.” Chester had to admit that the scene in front of him surprised him.

At this moment, he even had a feeling of inferiority, and subconsciously felt that the group of them was too rustic and out of place here.

Su Yuntang smiled, “In this case, you should rest early, and I will come back tomorrow.”

The decoration of the State Guest House is definitely not to cater to foreign envoys.

Because this is Dasong’s popular architectural decoration style, which appeared along with Dasong’s technological progress.

Many hotels in Yancheng look like this, and some old buildings are undergoing similar renovations.

After Su Yuntang left, an official from the Department of Foreign Affairs was left behind to lead Chester and his party.

Chester thought that the shock he had received today was over.

But after being arranged in their respective rooms, they were dumbfounded again.

The floor of their room is covered with soft carpets, the bed has white quilts, and there is a special bathroom with automatic water faucets and a ceramic toilet.

Of course, they only found out what faucets and toilets were after asking officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs.

What made them even more horrified was that they indirectly learned that the water in these two things was called tap water.

It is supplied by the newly built Dasong tap water pipeline.

With this thing, people no longer need to drink well water or go to the river to fetch water.

Chester felt like a fool with so much new information.

That night, like the nobles of the country of Ross, he watched the outside world through the glass window of his room until midnight before falling asleep.

Others thought it was Dae Song trying to show their best side on purpose.

But this guess was smashed the next day.

As Su Yuntang said, he arrived on time the next day and continued to lead them to visit Yancheng.

When they entered other hotels, they realized that the place they lived in was really so-so.

“Vice Minister Su, can we visit your factory?” After wandering around all morning, Chester finally made his request nervously.

Whether it is street lamps, bicycles, or unseen things in the posthouse, they are all appearances.

It is Dasong’s factory that really supports these things.

It’s the factory that makes it all.

“Yes.” Su Yuntang had been prepared for a long time, and seemed to be waiting for Chester’s words.

In fact, Emperor Zhao Xu gave him this authority.

Chester, who received an affirmative answer, felt excited.

Immediately Su Yuntang led Chester and his party to the workshop area by light rail train.

At the first stop, Su Yuntang chose to go to the textile factory.

What the Xitu people are most proud of at present is their own textile industry.

Britain also relies on this industry to earn high profits from overseas.

Clothing, food, housing, and transportation, these four words are the basic needs of people, and they can naturally generate a huge market.

At the spinning mill, Chester saw the true uses of electricity.

Rows of spinning machines rotate under the power provided by the motor, and the cotton is turned into cotton yarn at an extremely fast speed.

They observed these cotton yarns carefully and found that these cotton yarns were much thinner than those produced in Ross Country.

The thickness of cotton yarn is one of the criteria to measure the level of the textile industry in the West.

Since the spun yarn is easy to break, industrial production requires more continuous and stable power, which the steam engine cannot provide.

This is why Dasong people’s clothing is so soft and fine.

Thinking of the Ross people and most of them can only wear coarse clothes, Chester’s heart is heavy again.

Obviously, the Dasong people seem to have passed the age of steam power and entered a new era called the age of electricity that they still cannot understand.

Then, he followed Su Yuntang to many factories and saw many industrial products that he had never seen before.

But he has no intention of observing, because the textile industry alone is enough to explain a lot.

The rest are nothing more than torture to their fragile egos.

During the whole day’s events, a group of people shuttled between various factories.

In the next few days, they and Su Yuntang went to visit other counties in Dasong.

This visit took away their last ounce of chance.

They thought that only Emperor Da Song had entered the age of electricity.

Unexpectedly, many key counties and cities have thermal power plants.

At the same time, they also learned that there is a cable telegraph in Dasong.

It was through this that Su Yuntang directly asked Emperor Dasong who was in the imperial capital for instructions.

After returning from other provinces, Chester saw something called a telephone in the Department of Foreign Affairs.

This time, Su Yuntang directly talked with Emperor Dasong of the palace by phone, which deeply shocked him.

After staying in Yancheng for another six days, Chester couldn’t wait to return.

He wants to report everything about Dasong to Emperor Nicholas.

Su Yuntang came and went with them, and didn’t want to keep them.

However, for the sake of strategic success, before Chester left, he took Chester and his party to take many photos around Dasong.

After it was washed out, it was given to Chester to bring it back.

In the photo, apart from everyone, it showed the scenes of the entire Dasong Imperial City, which helped Nicholas to make a correct judgment.

Carrying these photos close to his body, Chester went to Jincheng on a steam locomotive just like when he came.

Looking at the scenery flashing by outside the window, Chester and the nobles were silent.

This short execution caused a huge wave in their hearts.

Even now, the tide has not subsided.

Most importantly, they completely changed the perception of Daesong.

It turns out that the conditions for Dasong people to promote to Nicholas are really not to humiliate the country of Ross.

They are really backed by strength.

After learning about the real Dasong, they couldn’t imagine how to fight Dasong in the Far East.

It is undoubtedly crazy to choose to go to war with Da Song for a huge barren snowfield.

On the contrary, if you agree to cooperate with Da Song, maybe you can get rich rewards.

These rewards will allow the country of Ross to be able to gain benefits in the West and make up for the losses in the Far East.

Thinking of this, Chester strengthened his mind.

He believes that the nobles have all made the same judgment as him at this moment.
