Viscount Ferdinand suddenly missed his home. He missed his home in Paris very much, and even more missed the beautiful city of Paris, the Arc de Triomphe, the Seine River, Notre Dame... If you have to find the most proud miracle of Ferdinand, then his first recommendation is the groundwater system in Paris.

Where is the conscience of a city? It is underground, in the invisible place, and Paris is the country that attaches the most importance to sewer construction in European countries.

The promoter of the municipal renovation of Paris, especially the sewer system engineering, was Napoleon III, who is now in power. No matter how bad the emperor's reputation was, at least Ferdinand admired it very much in the construction of Paris.

It was precisely because of the great transformation of Napoleon III that Paris became the cleanest city in Europe at that time, no doubt, the cleanest one.

All the streets were swept on stone roads, and rows of gas lamps were mixed in the sycamore trees. The Seine River water was getting clearer and clearer in the center of the city. Bridges connected the two sides of the river, and countless carvings were scattered in the middle of the city.

There is no dirty water, garbage, or stench... The noble area is as beautiful as the garden in the sky, and even the environment of the slums is comparable to that of the middle-class living areas in other countries.

All of this is very important. Ferdinand is very clear that all this is a symbol of a country's soft power. Beautiful things can attract the attention of the whole world, thus giving Paris a cultural leadership effect.

Although Britain is an empire that does not set, if it is a cultural power in Europe, there is only France and Paris.

Moreover, the urban transformation of Paris has very realistic benefits. Since the urban environment has changed, there has not been a plague in Paris in the past ten years. Some of them are just typhoid colds due to changing weather.

Today I finally got the answer. Ferdinand, who was educated and educated, finally understood through Dr. Buck's popular science. The subtle relationship between hygiene and plague turned out that bacteriology, which was originally in the marginal discipline, actually had such a great effect.

If one learns one thing and one thing, one must refer to the other person’s words, smart people will naturally understand something from the other person’s words. Ferdinand suddenly thought of some intelligence investigations of Ryukyu by the empire.

In intelligence, Ryukyu's urban infrastructure is no less than that of Paris. Although the scale is not as large as Paris, it is said that the sanitation level of the entire city is even better than that of Paris.

Today, the medical team led by Dr. Buck even more shocked him. From the skillful skills of these Chinese people, we can see that at least in bacteriology, the Chinese are no less than Europe.

This is a very worrying thing, which shows that Xiao Letian has consciously improved the country's soft power, and attempted to use this influence to attract more attention, and use this civilizational difference to influence the people's hearts.

A terrible opponent! Today, the medical team missed a trick at will, which made Ferdinand feel powerful pressure because he was a nobleman and was naturally very sensitive to this invisible power.

Suddenly Viscount Ferdinand raised his hand and stopped Dr. Buck's words, "Well... Dear Mr. Buck, I have heard what you said clearly, but I have a question. Have you also popularized the hygiene and epidemic prevention methods you mentioned in the city of Naha, Ryukyu?"

Barker didn't know this was a test, but said proudly, "Of course, of course, I strictly follow such sanitation regulations. You should know that many regulations exist in Chinese cities in the form of law!"

"The well-connected sewage system ensures that sewage will not flow at will at all, and some blocks even attract feces from seawater to clean toilets..."

"People have been forcibly developed the habit of drinking boiled water. The most common thing in that city is not bars but teahouses. Anyone can buy very cheap hot tea anytime and anywhere, and there will be no epidemic of drinking water infectious diseases..."

"The garbage must be recycled and sorted in a centralized manner. There are red sleeves organized by the government on the street. They specialize in picking up illegal acts such as spitting and littering. The high fine can make a middle-class businessman feel pain. If it is serious, it will even be sentenced to hard labor!"

"Not to mention that traditional Chinese medicine pays great attention to the relationship between climate and body. Generally speaking, when the weather changes violently, traditional Chinese medicine can always prescribe maintenance prescriptions. Local governments will give free Chinese medicine soup made with mung beans to prevent heatstroke in summer, and in winter, there are also some warm and tonic soups to prevent typhoid fever..."

The more Buck spoke, the more proud he became, but the more Ferdinand heard, the more frightened he became, because he knew very well that the strength of culture was difficult to defeat. You could defeat the enemy's army with guns and cannons, but the enemy's soft power that was leading the world could not be erased through war.

Because humans always have an instinct to pursue the happiest! It’s like Britain is already an empire that never sets, but no matter how arrogant the British aristocrats talk about food, wine, and the most popular clothing, they have to bow their heads to Paris, and they can’t accept it.

Paris has also made a lot of money through the final pricing power of these luxury goods industries, which itself is France's soft power.

To give the simplest example, wine originated in ancient Greece and Rome, and was brought to the entire Europe by the Romans, but the last top wine production areas were all in France.

A wine culture is the best in the world, which has laid a deep-rooted authoritative idea in the hearts of winemakers around the world. With this sense of authority, the French have the right to price red wine.

This is terrible. When a country has the absolute pricing power for a certain commodity, it has a greater profit than monopoly.

Ferdinand couldn't guess what the Chinese people were doing, but he knew very well that Xiao Letian must be making some kind of breakthrough, which was terrible, it was really terrible.

"No, I must submit a report to His Majesty the Emperor. The threat from these Chinese people is too great and must be eradicated as soon as possible. Otherwise, Western civilization will not be able to continue to expand in Asia. We must stop these Chinese people!"

Thinking of this, Ferdinand nodded, "Thank you, thank you Dr. Buck for your efforts for the people here. I have already recorded your plan. Since your fleet will also pass through the Suez Canal, I will not leave you to the banquet. I hope we will meet in Paris one day!"

Well! Buck was stunned. He heard the perfunctory in Ferdinand's words, and the most important thing was that Viscount had no pen to record at all. His tricks to prevent plague were very detailed and could not be remembered clearly by listening to one side.

"Dear Consul... Please take it seriously, otherwise at least one-third of the people in this port will be infected with dysentery within ten days! That is thousands of lives..." Buck, who was impatient, actually grabbed Ferdinand's sleeve as soon as he reached out.

Ferdinand, frowning, shook Buck's hand away, looked at the white gloves he was wearing, and thought about the examination they had just done on the body, and felt a sense of disgust.

"Damn it, how could you touch me with gloves that have touched the corpse!" After that, he took out his handkerchief and started to wipe it desperately.
Chapter completed!
