Become a feudal king from today - #1139 - Chapter 1150 Insights

“Welcome.”

Chester and the nobles of Ross were shocked by the scene in front of them, and a voice came.

A Dasong official appeared in front of them.

He was Su Yuntang, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

After Dong An went to Ross, he took over all the affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

After a brief greeting, Su Yuntang revealed his identity to Chester and asked Chester to go with him to the inn specially for entertaining foreign envoys.

Su Yuntang’s attitude was neither salty nor indifferent, as if the owner of the house was welcoming unwelcome guests, which made Chester a little angry. .

But thinking that Dasong today is definitely not the same as Beidi, he held his breath in his lungs and followed Su Yuntang obediently.

Compared to the attitude of Dasong’s diplomatic officials, he cared more about the real appearance of Dasong now.

When the group left the station, Chester and the Ross nobles were even more surprised.

At this time, the setting sun completely sank into the horizon, leaving only a red halo, and the whole world seemed dim.

The street lights on both sides of the station road were lit up one after another, extending far away.

On the bright streets illuminated by the dim yellow lights, the people of Dasong rode two-wheeled machines to and fro.

Some wealthy businessmen also sat in open carriages pulled by horses.

The wheels of this kind of carriage are similar to those of two-wheeled machines, but much thicker.

It seems that it is more energy-saving for horses to pull such carriages, and they run very lightly.

Chester and the accompanying Russian nobles were stunned and all forgot to walk.

After a while, Chester reacted.

His face suddenly became a little hot, and he suppressed a trace of shame and asked Su Yuntang who was waiting for them, “What are these people riding?”

“Bicycles.” Su Yuntang spit out three words, and there was no emotional fluctuation in his small eyes.

Just as the Russian diplomatic officials were indifferent to the Dasong delegation, he also maintained his indifference.

Unless the Russian country agreed to Dasong’s conditions and Dasong cooperated, then he might behave like a friend on the surface.

“Bicycle?” Chester repeated.

He had never seen this thing before.

But the moment he saw it, he was sure that this thing would bring convenience to personal travel.

Moreover, this thing seemed to be able to carry heavy objects.

Many Dasong people tied heavy objects behind the seats, and sometimes people sat on them.

“How did your oil lamps light up together?” asked a Ross nobleman without waiting for Chester to ask.

He was an earl and strongly opposed Nicholas’s compromise with Dasong.

So, he decided to go to Dasong in person, see for himself, and use the actual situation to make Nicholas the Great stand with the Western Land to fight against Dasong.

But now, his heart suddenly wavered.

Gu Zanu003c/spanu003e Bicycles are fine. Although novel, he thinks it is acceptable. At most, it is a personal travel tool, which is far less shocking than these lights that light up instantly.

There are also street lights in the palaces of Ross and Western Land.

These street lights have wicks that burn whale oil.

After dark, servants need to light them one by one, and there is no way they can light up by themselves.

“Hahaha…”

The Earl’s question made the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs beside Su Yuntang laugh.

An official said, “These are not oil lamps, but electric lamps. These electric lamps are connected in series by wires, so they can light up in an instant.”

“Electric lamps, wires…” The Ross nobles were even more confused.

They didn’t understand what the Dasong officials were talking about at all.

Looking at the smiling faces of the Dasong officials, Chester and the Ross nobles blushed even more.

In order to appear not so ignorant, they did not continue to ask, but just followed Su Yuntang to continue walking forward, while silently observing the Dasong Imperial Capital.

As their eyes wandered, they found tall buildings being built on both sides of the road.

Many buildings were taller than the tallest buildings in Petersburg.

They also found that the ground of the city was paved with tracks thinner than railroad tracks.

Steam locomotives pulled carriages more than ten meters long through the city, filled with all kinds of Dasong people.

Some people stood at the intersection waving flags, asking pedestrians to stop crossing the road before the steam locomotives arrived.

They themselves also attracted the attention of many Dasong people.

Many people deliberately approached to observe them.

Chester noticed that the horizontal and diagonal lines of these ordinary Dasong people’s clothes were neat and dense, and they were all made of high-quality fabrics.

Some people also wore a watch on their wrists, which was equivalent to putting a chain on their pocket watches.

Such a design made his eyes light up.

But after the surprise, his mood became heavier.

The Russians in Petersburg seemed to have a lower standard of living than the Dasong people.

Then, they noticed the shops along the street.

These shops still have the architectural style of Dasong, but there are also some fashionable changes.

For example, some shops have a whole piece of glass on the street side.

The lights in the shops were on, making the shops clearly visible.

Chester and the Russian nobles watched all this eagerly, and they didn’t even notice when they arrived at the inn.

It was not until Su Yuntang reminded them that they reacted.

At this time, the hostility they brought when they came to Dasong was much weaker, but their awe of Dasong was much stronger.
