Chapter 1151 Judgment
"You will stay here tonight, a small humble house, I hope you don't mind it."
The inn where Dasong entertains foreign envoys is called the State Guest House.
This newly built three-story building combines Dasong and modern architectural styles.
It can not only reflect the cultural characteristics of Dasong, but also reflect the progress of Dasong civilization.
In addition to the appearance and structure, the decoration of the Guobing Inn is also very fashionable.
The lobby floor is covered with exquisite ceramic tiles.
From the merchants, I learned from the Patent Office that in addition to firing porcelain, they can also firing ceramic tiles.
Ceramic tiles, such as architectural decorative materials, became popular in Dasong.
There is no exemption for state hotels.
Above the ground, crystal lamps are hung.
But this is not a real crystal, but a glass product, just a filament is installed inside the glass.
Such crystal lamps are both illuminated and beautiful.
After its release, many families with extra money replaced incandescent lamps with crystal lamps...
"Deputy Minister Su is too modest. If this is also a small humble house, then our Petersburg Winter Palace will also be ashamed." Chester had to admit that the scene in front of him was very amazed.
At this moment, he even felt inferior, subconsciously feeling that they and his group were too rustic and out of place.
Su Yuntang smiled, "Since that's the case, you guys will rest sooner and I'll come here again tomorrow."
The decoration of the State Guest House is by no means intended to cater to foreign envoys.
Because this is the architectural decoration style that Dasong is popular, it emerged 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 Foreign Affairs Department continued to lead Chester and his group.
Chester thought that the shock that he brought to him today ended here.
But after being arranged to their respective rooms, they were stunned again.
The floor of their room was covered with soft carpets, white bedding on the bed, and a special bathroom with a faucet that could automatically flow and a ceramic toilet.
Of course, they asked the Foreign Affairs Department officials to understand what the faucet and toilet are.
What shocked them even more 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 pipes.
With this thing, people no longer need to eat well water or fetch water by the river.
So many new experiences made Chester feel like a fool.
That night, like the nobles of the Ross Kingdom, he looked at the outside world through the glass windows of the room until midnight before he fell asleep.
Some people also think that this is Da Song deliberately showing them the best.
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 was really average.
"Deputy Secretary Su, can we visit your factory?" After wandering around for a morning, Chester finally made his request nervously.
Whether it is street lights, bicycles, or affairs that have not been seen in the inn are all appearances.
The one that really supports these things is Dasong’s factory.
It was the factory that made all this.
"Yes." Su Yuntang was 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 a positive answer, felt excited.
Then 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.
Valley Fee
What the Western natives are most proud of at present is their own textile industry.
Britain also relies on this industry to make high profits from overseas.
These four words, food, clothing, housing and transportation, are people's basic needs, and naturally create a huge market.
At the spinning mill, Chester saw the true use of electricity.
Rows of spinning machines rotate under the power provided by the motor, and the cotton turns into cotton yarn at an extremely rapid speed.
They carefully observed the cotton yarns and found that the cotton yarns were much thinner than those produced in the Ross country.
The thickness of cotton yarn is one of the criteria for measuring the level of Western textile industry.
Since the yarn is easy to break, industrial production requires more sustained and stable power, which is something that the steam engine cannot provide.
This is why Dasongren's clothing is so gentle and delicate.
Thinking that most of them were only allowed to wear coarse cloth clothes, Chester's mood became a little heavier again.
It is obvious that the Dasong people have already crossed the steam power era and entered a new era called the electric power era that they cannot understand at present.
Then, he followed Su Yuntang to many factories and saw many industrial products that he had never seen before.
But he had no intention of observing, because the textile industry alone was enough to explain a lot.
The rest are nothing more than torture to their fragile self-esteem.
During the whole day of incident, the group shuttled through various factories.
A few days later, they and Su Yuntang visited other counties in Dasong.
This visit left them with the last bit of luck.
They thought that only Emperor Dasong had entered the power era.
Unexpectedly, many key counties and cities have thermal power plants.
At the same time, they also learned that the existence of cable telegraphs in Dasong.
It was through this thing that Su Yuntang directly asked Emperor Dasong, who was in the imperial capital.
Back from other provinces, Chester met something called a telephone in the Foreign Affairs Department.
This time, Su Yuntang talked directly to the palace's Dasong Emperor on the phone, which shocked him deeply.
After staying in Yancheng for another six days, Chester couldn't wait to return.
He would report everything about the Great Song to Emperor Nicholas.
Su Yuntang followed them and did not try to keep them.
However, for strategic success, before Chester left, he took Chester and his party to take many photos everywhere in Dasong.
After washing it out, he gave it to Chester and asked him to bring it back.
In the photo, except for everyone, the scenes of the entire Dasong Imperial City were shown, which helped Nicholas make a correct judgment.
Carrying these photos with you close to each other, Chester took a steam locomotive to Jincheng, just like when he came.
Looking at the view flashing outside the window, Chester and the nobles were silent.
This short performance caused huge waves to stir up in their hearts.
Even now, this wave has not subsided.
Most importantly, they completely changed their view of Da Song.
It turns out that the conditions for the Dasong people to ascende to Nicholas are really not to humiliate the Kingdom of Ross.
They are really supported by strength.
After learning about the true Da Song, they could not imagine how to fight Da Song in the Far East.
It is undoubtedly crazy to choose to fight against Da Song for a huge deserted snow field.
On the contrary, if you agree to cooperate with Dasong, you may get rich rewards.
These returns will give Ross enough ability to gain benefits in the Western Land and make up for losses in the Far East.
Thinking of this, Chester strengthened his thoughts.
