Text Chapter 593 The most technological city

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After three years of fighting, we finally returned to Weeping Willow City. The ship arrived at t [It was almost around six in the morning, but because the sun rises very late during the winter in the Holy Lana Empire, it seems like it is still the same as in the middle of the night.  I almost stood on the side of the ship, looking at the lights in Weeping Willow City, and felt a special emotion in my heart.

    Weeping Willow City was not even ranked among the top ten cities in the Western Continent in terms of comprehensive capabilities during the era of melee between the princes of the Holy Lana Empire. Now it has surpassed many famous cities that were originally ranked before it. In terms of population, it has also surpassed Eastern Lana.  New Lana City, the ancient capital just recovered by the empire, is second only to Winged Lion City and Lana City.

    The spacious avenues, advanced urban sanitary water supply systems, new large-scale buildings and cultural landscapes, the buildings in this city, and the lifestyle of residents all declare the achievements of this new empire's dynasty in more than ten years, if not counting the early efforts.  The chaotic management of this city has only lasted less than ten years. Now who can imagine what this city was like ten years ago - except for the Weeping Willow Palace and the ancient churches in the city.

    The street lamps along the city streets were illuminated by the city patrol. This thing that I was very familiar with in my previous life appeared for the first time in the Western Continent. When the residents of Wing Lion City and Lana City followed the natural laws of sunrise and sunset,  While living in the city, Weeping Willow City has begun to use street lights on a large scale near the city's main streets and large political, commercial, cultural and other facilities to illuminate people living and working in the city - whether it is due to geographical reasons or travel.  Due to industrial needs, this is very necessary for Weeping Willow City.

    Judging from the data provided by the Statistical Guild alone, the application of kerosene lamps has made Weeping Willow City's output and commercial activities much higher than before. Especially during the long winter in the Greater Gordon area, some industries can even double.  The effect of doubling this is more real than any other equipment innovation. Before the emergence of new power technology, it was very difficult for the factories in Alaihe to improve their output through equipment modification. But in any case, even if Weeping Willow  The city is not the most prosperous city in the Western Continent, but it is at least the city that uses the most new technologies.

    "Ha~~~" Just as I was watching with interest the workers on the Weeping Willow City Pier shoveling away the overnight snow, the cabin door opened, and Dong Liangjun yawned and walked out. Then a gust of cold wind hit,  He shivered and pulled up the collar of his coat.

    Seeing this, he smiled and said to Dong Liangjun: "Good morning"

    "Good morning, His Highness the King of Western Qin" We said good morning to each other using phrases that the other party could already understand.

    But after saying good morning, Dong Liangjun looked around in surprise, "&%$(*^" and then said something in Seris that I couldn't understand at all, until the sleepy Muland interpreter came from the cabin.  After he came out of the house, Dong Liangjun asked the Mulander man to translate what he just said: "Is it really morning now?"

    "Haha yes!" He smiled and nodded in affirmative answer to Dong Liangjun's question. Then he looked at the Ding Chao officials who came out of the cabin behind Dong Liangjun to enjoy the morning view of Weeping Willow City and asked: "You  Are you sure you don't want to change a hat first? I'm worried about whether your ears will get frostbite."

    "Haha" After listening to the translation of the Mulanders, a group of officials from the Ding Dynasty smiled at me with kindness. Then Dong Liangjun stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Thank you for your concern, His Highness the King of Western Qin, but our Ding Dynasty  The etiquette is like this. From now on, we have officially entered your country, so we must wear formal official uniforms. Not only cannot the official hats be replaced by other warm hats, even these coats gifted by His Highness  Must take it off”

    "In that case, when we get ashore, I will send someone to find some clothes to wear under the official uniform. The sun will not rise until nearly noon, and it was very cold in the previous few hours. The ship will still be almost half a mile away."  We won’t dock until an hour later. Do you want to go back to the cabin first?”

    Dong Liangjun: "Your Highness is worrying too much. Your Highness may not know that in the capital of Ding Dynasty, even if it is winter morning to meet His Majesty the Emperor, we have to leave in the middle of the night and freeze for several hours before the court meeting starts, so this is nothing to us.  Things are too difficult. Although the Ding Dynasty is located in the south, the winter is not necessarily much warmer than in the north. However, the hard work of the subjects of your country makes me admire. Your Highness is the first official to get up to work in our Ding Dynasty to prepare for the court meeting.  And now I look at the capital of your countryDo the subjects of your country all start getting up and busy so early? Or do they work all night?"

    "Haha No," he smiled and shook his head: "If they are really that hard-working, I'm afraid the officials of the imperial government will have to ask them to pay for the lamps. The fuel for the lamps turns out to be the emperor*  *Weapon raw materials The imperial government customized this plan to provide free public lighting to urban residents out of consideration for improving the efficiency of industrial manufacturing in this city.

    These plans are all calculated in advance.?Income from leaving the country must be

    The cost of public lighting exceeds the burden of the imperial government, otherwise the imperial government will cut back on public lighting plans and move those factories to the south, which is far less stable and convenient than this area, because the raw materials for burning these lamps all come from the Muland Empire.  The current situation in the Rand Empire makes these raw materials more difficult to obtain, so maintaining the stability of the raw material production areas in the Muland Empire is very important for Weeping Willow City, Stone Castle and Vulture Castle."

    After listening to my explanation, Dong Liangjun was silent for a long time and then asked with a smile: "Then Your Highness, can Dong Liangjun, as a guest, make a hypothesis about the situation of the Holy Rana Empire? Can you tell Jun  Assuming it is a reference.”

    "Oh?" He pulled his eyes away from the scenery of Weeping Willow City with great interest, and said to Dong Liangjun with a smile: "Tell me about it."

    "Before coming to your country, Jun and his colleagues knew very little about this powerful empire in the north of the Western Continent. However, as the understanding has deepened in recent days, Jun has increasingly realized that this country has made extraordinary achievements under the rule of His Highness, but  It is also worrying. No matter what else, based on what Yijun knows about your country's history in the past ten years, Jun can foresee that as your country's industries continue to expand, its reliance on various materials and raw materials will also increase.  If your Highness wants to maintain this ever-expanding industrial scale, then it is not enough to rely solely on the raw materials in your country. After all, your country is not as vast as the Ding Dynasty and has abundant materials. Your Highness, you need  Obtain those materials through other means. For example, wars are not only wars on land, but also wars at sea. Not only wars in the Western Continent, but also wars in distant foreign countries. Because the materials your country needs have begun to exceed  Regarding the scope of the Western Continent, Jun, please ask Your Highness, are your army ready?"

    "GiggleObviously, no." At some point, Min Di had already walked out of the cabin and stood behind us. After listening to Dong Liangjun's words, Min Di smiled and said to Dong Liangjun: "Maybe His Highness should  Consider keeping Lord Toryoshi in the Holy Rana Empire as a minister of the imperial government. We should record what he said and hand it over to the imperial government officials to formulate future plans."

    After listening to the Mulanders translating what Min Di said, Dong Liangjun looked at me in embarrassment.

    "Haha, don't worry, Mr. Dongliangjun, Ms. Mindi is joking." It wasn't until I finished explaining that Dongliangjun felt relieved. At this time, the ship's side had already docked.

    On the pier, there was already a group of carriages waiting for the ship to dock. As soon as the ship docked, the palace guards and guardsmen immediately came to greet them.

    After boarding the pier, I sighed and looked around and finally came back. It felt good to be back. I felt relaxed even just looking at the busy and noisy port area.

    "Hey, be careful. This is a very precise instrument. It's something the Imperial Religious Council wants. If it gets damaged, you can't afford to pay for it." Just as we were about to board the carriage, a ship arrived at Weeping Willow City with us behind us.  There was a shout from the Stone Castle cargo ship. Looking back, I saw an official from the Weeping Willow City Port Authority who had boarded the ship. He was holding a list of items in his hand and supporting the large equipment being hoisted by a sling, and he was yelling at the dock workers responsible for loading and unloading.

    Looking at the appearance of the machine covered by oilcloth it seemed to be a piano. So he stopped with interest and told the wind beside him: "We will set off later. Go over and ask what kind of precision instrument it is."  What is it? I'll wait for you on the carriage."

    "Understood, sir." After saying this, Feng nodded and walked quickly towards the port authority official on the ship.

    After saying hello to the officials of the Ding Dynasty and the palace guards who greeted us, and asking them to wait for a while, I climbed into the carriage I was riding in. I felt relaxed and tapped my thighs lightly with my fingers, waiting for the wind to come back.  report

    The appearance of the instrument just now does indeed look like a piano, and the port authority official said that it was something the Imperial Religious Council wanted. Since it was something the Religious Council wanted, I can be more certain that it was a large instrument.  The religious council of musical instruments really needs those things. They put them in cathedrals and play them during worship and other orthodox rituals. They spare no effort in promoting religious music and various religious paintings and decorations, which also stimulates to a certain extent.  The development of new art forms in the Holy Rana Empire. Otherwise, with the folk poets and painters, the culture of the Holy Rana Empire would never have developed so fast.

    If it were really a piano, then there would be another novel instrument among the gifts given to the Ding Dynasty. And for the court of the Ding Dynasty, such an instrument would be more attractive. After all, the importance of giving gifts is novelty rather than expensiveness.
