Become a feudal king from today - #1140 - Chapter 1151 Judgment

“You guys will stay here tonight, it’s a small humble residence. I hope you won’t mind.”

The post where Dasong entertains foreign envoys is called the Guobin Post.

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 its appearance and structure, the decoration of Guobin Inn is also very fashionable.

The lobby floor is covered with exquisite ceramic tiles.

The businessman learned from the Patent Department that in addition to firing porcelain, he could also fire ceramic tiles.

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

The State Guesthouse is not exempt from customs.

Above the ground, hanging crystal lamps.

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

This kind of crystal lamp can not only illuminate, but also be very beautiful.

After its introduction, many wealthy people in Dasong replaced incandescent lamps with crystal lamps. .

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

At this moment, he even felt a sense of inferiority. Subconsciously, he felt that their group was too rustic and incompatible with this place.

Su Yuntang smiled and said, “In that case, you can rest early and I will come back tomorrow.”

The decoration of the Guobin Inn is definitely not to cater to foreign envoys.

Because this is a popular architectural decoration style in Dasong, which emerged with the technological progress of Dasong.

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

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

Chester thought that the shock brought to him today would be over.

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

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

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

What shocked them even more was that they indirectly learned that the water in these two items was called tap water.

It is supplied by the newly built Dasong water pipeline.

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

So much new information made Chester feel like a fool.

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

Some people think that this is Da Song deliberately showing his best side to them.

But this speculation was shattered the next day.

Just as Su Yuntang said, he arrived on time the next day and continued to lead the group of people around Yancheng.

When they entered other hotels, they realized that the place they stayed in was really average.

“Vice Minister Su, can we visit your factory?” After wandering around for a whole morning, Chester finally made his request anxiously.

Whether it is street lights, bicycles, or unseen events in the post office, they are all appearances.

What really supports these things is Dasong’s factory.

It’s the factory that makes it all.

“Okay.” Su Yuntang was already prepared and seemed to be waiting for Chester’s words.

In fact, Emperor Zhao Xu gave him this authority.

After receiving the affirmative answer, Chester felt excited.

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

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

What the Westerners are most proud of now is their textile industry.

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

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, these four words are the basic needs of human beings, which can naturally create a huge market.

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

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

They carefully observed the cotton yarn and found that the cotton yarn was much finer than the cotton yarn produced in Russia.

The thickness of cotton yarn is one of the standards for measuring the level of Western textile industry.

Since fine yarn breaks easily, industrial production requires more continuous and smooth power, which a steam engine cannot provide.

This is why the fabrics of Dasong people’s clothes are so soft and fine.

Thinking that most of them in Russia could only wear coarse clothes, Chester felt a little heavier again.

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

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

But he had no intention of observing, because the textile industry alone explained a lot.

Others are nothing more than torture to their fragile self-esteem.

Throughout the whole day, the group traveled through various factories.

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

This visit took away their last hope of luck.

They thought that only Dasonghuangdu had entered the electric age.

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

At the same time, they also learned that there was such a thing as wired telegraphy in Dasong.

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

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

This time Su Yuntang spoke directly to Emperor Dasong in the palace via phone, which shocked him deeply.

After staying in Yancheng for another six days, Chester could not wait to return.

He wanted to report everything about Da Song to Emperor Nicholas.

Su Yuntang let them come and go without stopping.

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

After washing it out, I gave it to Chester to take back.

In the photo, in addition to the crowd, what is shown is the scene throughout the entire Dashong Imperial City, which helps Nicholas make a correct judgment.

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

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

This short fulfillment caused huge waves in their hearts.

Even now, the tide has failed to subside.

Most importantly, they completely changed their views on Da Song.

It turns out that the conditions that the Great Song people promoted to Nicholas were not really meant to humiliate the country of Russia.

They are really backed by strength.

After understanding the real Dasong, they could not imagine how to fight against Dasong in the Far East.

It is undoubtedly crazy to choose to go to war with Dasong over a huge barren snowfield.

On the contrary, if you agree to cooperate with Dasong, you may get huge rewards.

These returns will give the Russian state enough ability to gain benefits in the Western Territory and make up for the losses in the Far East.

Thinking of this, Chester firmed up his thoughts.

He believed that the nobles had made the same judgment as him at this moment.
