Chapter 1763: 1764 is worth welcoming in person
Chapter 1763 1764 is worth welcoming in person
For a traditional, old-style emperor, Binghan I would obviously be uncomfortable seeing the carefree, confident and sunny life of the common people.
In his subconscious mind, it is not a good thing for common people to have too much food. Among the imperial powers he has practiced and learned throughout his life, there is no option to truly benefit the people.
In the eyes of Binghan I, the king or emperor is a herder, and his subjects are the lambs he grazes.
The purpose of letting the lambs eat grass is to make them fat and strong, so that they can provide wool and mutton, not to let them join forces to rob the shepherd's land and house.
The secret of the ancient art of **** is to keep the civilians in a good state of half-death and make them exhausted from running for life, so that they will not focus on boring things like rebellion.
Of course, in the same way, letting them starve without starving to death makes it easier to use these laborers and contribute their strength to the monarch: as long as they provide a little bit of insignificant food or money, they can join the army or perform corvee service , the poorer the civilians are, the easier it is to do this.
These little tips for life since ancient times are the secret control secrets of the emperors. To a certain extent, they are all Heavenly Cultivation Techniques that are passed down to men but not to women.
But the emergence of the **** Datang Empire caused the entire system to collapse. It turned out that there was a way to promote social progress, and this new way of playing was so invincible when faced with the old system.
The aura of those civilians who are on the way to progress is brighter than the crown on the emperor's head. They are more like the masters of this era than the emperor Binghan I.
Such a comparison dwarfed Binghan I. He was even a little timid and did not dare to meet the legendary Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He was afraid that after meeting, he would find that the gap between him and himself was like a fly compared to the sun and the moon.
When he got off the train and walked to the platform with the prime minister and other ministers who had accompanied him here, he found that few people came to greet him as a "distinguished guest."
A mayor's secretary, three or five attachés, this is all the people who came to greet him: among the new aristocrats of the Tang Empire, although the Marquis is still noble, there may not be a mayor with high status who controls real power. .
Even due to construction reasons, those who greeted Binghan I were not able to drive their cars to the platform. They had to take a temporary passage, walk out of the train station, and then take a car to the administrative hall in the city center.
There is now a unit there called the Tang Empire Frontline General Headquarters, where Marshal Tiger works. He will now represent Emperor Tang Mo to receive the surrendered Mr. Marquis Binghan.
Taking the train was Binghan I's request. He didn't have a good impression of airplanes. After all, the most numerous transport planes on the dwarf side, or in other words, civilian airliners, were actually modified C-47 transport planes, and the safety of this thing was just that.
Naturally, the Tang Empire has not spread its jet civil aviation aircraft to the Eastern Continent on a large scale, at least not yet.
So Binghan I went to the trouble of changing to several trains and taking a bus several times before arriving at Eternal Winter City.
Before getting on the train, the dwarf ministers were also shocked by the huge train station in front of them. They really didn't expect that the Tang Empire had restored the throughput capacity of Yongdong Port so quickly, and even resumed the construction and repair work of the city during the war.
Naturally, these people could not understand the concept of the Tang Dynasty that time was money, nor could they understand the crazy behavior of Tang businessmen who would rather raise money themselves than transport goods to the Eastern Continent for sale.
In the eyes of these businessmen, opening up the market on the Eastern Continent as soon as possible is simply the most important thing in the world. So now all the shipyards in the shipyards of the Tang Empire have been filled with orders. Those big guys with backgrounds and strength are waving their money and want to buy every new ship launched at five times the price. .
These people even want decommissioned warships. As long as they can transport those hot goods across the endless sea, they are willing to pay!
After lamenting the Tang Empire's magnanimity in advancing the war while expanding the city, these people began to envy the cars that picked them up: these cars were all new Rolls-Royces that had just arrived and were not available in the dwarf area.
They have a sleeker design concept, a more exaggerated air intake grille, and more precise processing technology. The entire car is a work of art, showing the nobility and luxury of the Tang Empire.
Everyone who got into the car had different feelings, and they couldn't help but sigh at the luxury inside the car. These people still don’t know that the most luxurious car brand in the Tang Empire is no longer the Rolls-Royce...
The motorcade still attracted the attention of many people as it passed through the streets, because so many limousines from the city hall were dispatched at once, making it difficult to see them.
The main streets in the city have been repaired and are incredibly smooth. Driving the luxurious Tang Dynasty Rolls-Royce car on it, you don't feel any bumps at all.
Although the newly built buildings do not look tall, their style is completely different from the original dwarf buildings. It is a very simple style, but it looks very modern.
Huge glass has become the mainstream, and buildings are equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows as standard. This makes all buildings very transparent, which is completely different from the small window buildings built by dwarves in the past to keep warm.
From Binghan I's point of view, these buildings did not pay any attention to the cold climate conditions of Everwinter City, and there was definitely no way to use them in winter.
But in fact, heating is guaranteed for the entire city. Huge petroleum refineries and other machinery manufacturing plants will provide almost unlimited heating, which can easily raise the temperature of the entire city.
Moreover, the Tang Empire did not need to consider how its cities would face the threat of war. No matter how fragile they were, these buildings would not withstand the test of artillery fire.
After passing these luxurious buildings, the car slowly stopped in a huge yard. Binghan I finally saw the middle-aged general standing at the door to greet him.
Tiger still showed due respect to an old monarch. In his opinion, at least the dwarf emperor chose to surrender, allowing the heroic soldiers of the Tang Empire to avoid more casualties. This achievement alone was worthy of him, the Marshal of the Tang Empire, personally welcoming him.
