C2049 Grey Britain

After the little joke, Duke of Newcastle got back to the main topic at hand. He was here to guide the little emperor, not to chat about football.

With respect to his work, the Duke's smile became more candid, and soon he gained the little Emperor's trust.

"Your Majesty, do you not know if the glory of England will enter your eyes?" the Duke asked, pointing to the land in the distance.

Zai Chun smiled and nodded, "It's extremely shocking... The impression I got from the whole of England was that... Strength and shock! "

"Oh, God! Your Majesty, your description is too accurate. This is the power of England, this is the power that the Industrial Revolution has brought us … "

"Look, that's the Southampton region. That's the famous Steel plant there, they produce five hundred thousand tons of railway track steel every year …"

"Your Majesty, do you see the pasture on the coast? where at least 20,000 sheep live, and these wool will eventually become the hottest wool in the UK... "

"This is Britain. We have already turned this country into a huge factory, and the sea supports the interests of the empire. We can ship tea from China, cotton from India, wool and corn from the North America and Australia …"

"More coal from Europe, more wood from northern Europe... All of the world's resources have been gathered here, and have become the raw materials for the super factories! "

"We use efficiency and productivity that no country in the world has ever possessed to process huge quantities of industrial products and then transport them by sea to the entire world …"

"No country is the opponent of our merchandise, because we have mastered the most advanced productivity, the most effective efficiency, our merchandise is not afraid of competing with any country on the world price war, we will absolutely not fail!"

"Your Majesty! This is England, this is the British Empire... You must come this time to take a look more carefully, and personally witness the prosperity of British Empire. I think that this will help you in governing your country in the future! "

After hearing the Duke's introduction, Zai Chun's eyes lit up. His biggest mission in Europe was to let the Great Qing have such power.

"My dear Duke, thank you for your explanation … Yes, I have indeed seen the glory of British Empire.

"I really regret that my parents missed so many historic opportunities... However, I will not miss this opportunity. I hope that during this trip, I can learn more about the essence of governance from your country, and I also hope that British Empire can give me some help during this reform … "

Duke of Newcastle couldn't help but to raise his big thumb in his heart. As expected, it was different from the higher ups of Qing Dynasty that he remembered, the little emperor was very open-minded!

And what did he use to describe it? Your country! British Empire!

This was a compliment from a thousand years old ancient civilization, the emperor of China. This was indeed a great honour for Britain.

Duke couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if your Qing Dynasty had been this polite, I'm afraid there wouldn't have been two wars.

Thinking about this, the Duke nodded his head and smiled, "Thank you for your trust in British Empire, I am personally very willing to cooperate with him. No matter what you gain from this state visit, I will personally go to China to invest …"

"I am willing to contribute more to His Majesty's rule. I think with my family's business ability, I will definitely contribute more tax for His Majesty! "Hahaha …"

"Let's take a look!" "Your majesty, look at this beautiful British Empire …"

A strong sense of unease emerged in Xiao Letian's heart. He was a politician who trained to the point where he could quickly turn his body around.

From the moment he boarded the ship, Xiao Letian felt a sense of coldness. That's right, nine out of the ten Duke sentences were for Zai Chun to hear, nine out of ten minutes were spent staring at Zai Chun.

Xiao Letian did not fight over anything, he knew that Zai Chun's status was higher than his, the leader, but he couldn't forget that Zai Chun was still his disciple.

According to the perspective of benefits, the Duke should talk to him more, or maybe talk half to half, which was reasonable. But this was not the case, as the entire Duke of Newcastle was focused on Zai Chun.

With a trace of doubt, Xiao Letian laughed and added, "There is no doubt about the strength of Britain, but the scenery has to be spectacular."

Xiao Letian pointed to the grey sky, grey grasslands, and grey forests... There were also gray sheep.

"It's just this greyish patch. The pollution is so severe, it can't possibly be considered a beautiful scene, can it? In my memory, England is a blue sky and water, the four seasons are always green! "

The Duke smiled at Xiao Letian with perfect courtesy, "Oh, my leader, this is not something you can say! Isn't all this beautiful? This sort of mechanical beauty that carried the power of industry, even the grey colour gave off the scent of steam …

"As far as I know, you are also working on the Industrial Zones in Asia. Aren't you also pursuing this power?"

At this point, the Duke said to Zai Chun with a taunting tone, "Your Majesty's eagerness for industrial power is something I empathize with, but I don't think Your Majesty should take a detour either …"

"Speaking of industrialization, you should still come to our UK for reference …" Don't turn it into a Myriad Kingdom Card! Hahaha … American, Prussian, British equipment is all used, even Italian standards are used, I really don't know how to develop such a chaotic district! "

"Hiss …" Xiao Letian sucked in a breath of cold air. This was indeed aimed at him, and before he could even finish speaking, he had already started to criticize him, and just like that, he already started to attack my special region?

Xiao Letian shook his head, he knew that the current world did not have any awareness of environmental protection. As the strongest industrial country, Britain naturally had to bear the worst of the pollution.

From the eighteenth to the twentieth century, the problem of pollution in Britain was recorded as the world's largest, and the price paid for a coal-fired industrial civilization was such a gray one.

However, the people at that time did not care about all of this. They even felt that this gray color was a unique symbol of an industrial civilization, a symbol of industrial power.

In contrast, the beauty of those pastoral pastoral songs corresponded to poverty, backwardness and weakness.

Look at Zai Chun and the Duke's expressions. Looking at the large cloud of fog in front of him, he was still smiling? From the looks of it, Zai Chun was eager to see the Beijing become such a main color.
