C2155 Welcome by the Queen

Xiao Letian had truly missed out on a great opportunity in history. He had no idea that the Kingdom was currently in a critical period of internal affairs and external affairs transforming into each other.

The truth was, the government invested heavily every year, and these investments had a very strong purpose in mind. With Benjamin as the leader, the Tory Party would place a large amount of investment in expansion.

The colonial army was going to be installed, the port was going to be built with new cannon emplacements, new wars were going to be waged abroad, and so on … It even included aiding the opposition in other countries, secretly financing some of the rebel armies, and so on.

All of these required money, and were all gold-eating monsters. Especially the expansion of the navy, which was a bottomless pit, even if one was as rich as the British Empire, if they wanted to upgrade their warships, they had to be meticulous.

However, to Gladstone and others, the prosperity of an empire depended not only on the size of the population but also the vastness of the territory. It was good to have more colonies. Everyone knew that dumping of raw materials and goods was very important.

However, there was always a problem with everything. Expansion on the outside could not forget the development on the inside!

Look at the mess of security in London right now. There are countless uneducated children running the streets, selling newspapers or polishing shoes or working in factories.

Some even became thieves or beggars, and their parents were completely incapable of providing any help to their children's future. These children had no choice but to perish on their own.

Education was a big problem, but what about medical care? What about road construction? Public health drainage facilities? Needless to say, the number of people who die from typhoid and dysentery in City of London would increase year by year.

Dirty streets, blocked small waterways, people couldn't even drink clean water, was this really what the British Empire wanted?

It was time for change, and Gladstone's vision was to pull national policy from focus to focus on the right path of inwardness.

The existing colonies could no longer be expanded and limited funds had to be invested in improving the livelihood of the people.

Education was especially important. The Empire needed more talented people, and that was the root of Britain's continued prosperity!

At this time, human society did not have the concept of Industrial Revolution and Second Industrial Revolution for the first time. This was an analysis and summary of history that came later on.

And only someone as powerful as Xiao Letian could tell that the technological innovation was coming!

However, no one could underestimate the intelligence of the ancients. Although Gladstone and the others didn't know where the breakthrough point of the new technology was, they were aware that it was in the process of breaking through.

Business competition allowed the Factory Owner to increase efficiency and reduce costs, and then they had to research and produce new technology and products. Only then would they be able to obtain more, more abundant profits.

But in the new industry, new technology would definitely require more high-quality industrial workers, this was something that Xiao Letian understood the best. In the future, there would be electricity, chemicals, oil industry, internal combustion engine … The emerging industries such as this, were not something ordinary people could step into.

All practitioners needed a solid foundation of knowledge before they could start training in a professional manner, and even innovate in their work.

This was the benefit of compulsory education. It was also the only way to become a powerful country, and it was also Gladstone's lifelong dream.

What Xiao Letian did not know was that it was because of the sudden birth of the Chinese that the compulsory education system in Britain had been brought forward by more than ten years.

To let a small country like Zuhel snatch the world's first place in compulsory education for all, this caused British Empire to lose a lot of face, and he also felt a deep threat.

Gladstone's report had moved the Queen, and the Queen had affected the royal family. This was why there were a series of struggles in the Cabinet, allowing Xiao Letian to take advantage of the situation.

Unfortunately, all of this was not known to Xiao Letian. If his information network could come into contact with such a core secret, Xiao Letian's guts and appetite would probably increase by multiple times.

Everything was moving forward slowly in the Primal Chaos. Although there was already a trace of light in the mist before Xiao Letian's eyes and he had already found the right direction, the mist was the mist.

"Your Majesty! The first guard cavalry army had already passed the Downing Street and is now entering Victoria Avenue. In fifteen minutes the Gold Carriage will reach Buckingham Palace! "

The Queen suddenly opened her eyes, "Alright, we've almost rested enough. Let's go!" After all, he is the emperor of China, and it is worth it for me to welcome him personally.

As the Queen of British Empire, he really didn't see her personally stand at the entrance to the main hall to welcome any guests.

The Queen was only 18 years old, and at this moment, she was already 50 years old. When he had just ascended the throne, the Great Qing was still in the Dao Guang era.

There were seniors in politics, and now the Queen was by far the oldest in politics. The rulers of all the countries held the etiquette of descendants in front of her, and there were very few kings who were on par with her.

The well-dressed Queen, supported by the Attendant of the palace, walked out of Buckingham Palace with his scepter in hand. At that moment, the entire palace was in an uproar.

"Look!" Our queen! Long live the Queen! "

"My God! The Queen has personally come to welcome the envoy, and the Queen is waiting for the Emperor of China at the main entrance! "

Queen Victoria's prestige was too high. The moment her figure appeared, the crowd on the opposite side of the street of Buckingham Palace immediately burst into an uproar.

Victoria gave a gentle wave of her hand to the crowd, and the result was even more intense cheers of joy!

"This is a golden age that belongs to me. I will definitely make it even more glorious!" The Queen swore proudly in her heart.

Right at this time, the cavalry of the Imperial Guards, the vanguard unit, who was escorting the envoys, appeared on the main street. A total of three hundred cavalrymen formed a long line on the main street, and people could even see the dazzling light of the Gold Carriage in the distance.

The envoys were very long, starting from the first cavalry soldiers, they were dragged back about four or five hundred meters, and there were more than eight hundred of them guarding the envoys.

All the Janissaries formed a parade in front of the queen, and at the order of the officer, all the cavalry drew their swords and held them flat before their chests, their gleaming blades aimed at the sky.

Beneath the bearskin cap were faces drenched in sweat but filled with pride. "The Janissaries pay their respects to Her Majesty!"

The Queen was in a very good mood as she saw the imperial facade approaching, and she raised her hand to greet the handsome young men.

The number of cavalrymen passing by the Queen increased, until finally, the golden light of the Gold Carriage appeared in the Queen's line of sight.

"We are finally here, Chinese! You guys came too late, you were thousands of years late! "
