Chapter 213: Master Barton's Shock
"Three million tons. Fu Changqing put down his chopsticks after eating the vegetarian food: "The number is not much." We can prepare it for you. But it is better to give a man a fish than to give him a fish. Your world has suffered such a severe food plague, have you ever thought of importing some high-yield grain seeds from us?"
Fu Changqing smiled kindly, and the old man's face showed a harmless smile of humans and animals.
When Barton heard Fu Changqing's words, his heart moved slightly, but on the surface, he remained silent, and simply said: "Importing grain seeds to change the method of grain cultivation is a big deal. We need to discuss it before we can make a decision. ”
Fu Changqing didn't say anything, after all, this is the first contact between the two sides, and others won't tell you everything. It is a very dangerous act in diplomacy to talk about things and put one's heart into one's heart.
The first state banquet was regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts, and the two parties were also considered to test each other.
It takes time for a real deep exchange. After eating, Fu Changqing arranged for someone to send Barton and Von Meier to the Diaoyutai Hotel to stay. Also accompanied by Qin Kuairen.
The Diaoyutai Hotel says it is a hotel, but not all the rooms are in one building. In fact, there are many independent and private villas in the Diaoyutai Hotel, one villa has an area of nearly 1,000 square meters on three floors, and there are ten rooms.
This configuration is especially suitable for those dignitaries and wealthy businessmen who will take a whole team and bodyguards with them when they travel. Such a villa would be a bit extravagant for Qin Kuairen and the three of them to live in.
However, for the first otherworldly diplomacy, Fu Changqing still has to give the highest level of reception.
Sitting in the Hongqi car, looking at the brightly lit Chang'an Avenue. Barton's heart was shocked, illumination was one of the most common spells in the mage world.
Even the mage's apprentice can cast a few illumination orbs of light at home that lasts all night, making their house as bright as day. It is not necessary to be like ordinary people, who can only light dim candles at night for lighting.
Even if they were human nobles, they could only light twenty or thirty candles at a time on a large candle hanger at night to increase the brightness of the lighting, but it was a huge difference from the illumination skills of the mages.
At night, the streets of almost all mortal kingdom cities (except for a few royal cities) are dark. Only the Immortal City and its surrounding satellite cities set up street lights at night, and windproof lamps lit with grease as fuel reflect a warm yellow glow on the streets.
But this is already worthy of the Immortal City boasting to the whole world: our city is the city that never sleeps!
The benefits of having lights at night are clear, allowing pedestrians to walk better and allowing some vendors to set up their stalls along the street at night. At the same time, because of the lights, even the crime rate will be reduced.
A city with plenty of lights at night has a lower crime rate than a city with dim lights at night. Most crimes tend to happen in those dark alleys.
But the city that never sleeps that the Immortal City boasts of is nothing compared to the real city that he sees now.
The brightness that windproof lamps can bring at night is limited, and they can only provide light within a radius of three meters in diameter, and the light will be attenuated at a distance.
And on this Chang'an Street, the lampposts illuminate all the darkness with bright and bright lights. The whole street is like day, and there is no trace of night at all.
Chang'an Avenue was crowded with pedestrians, and Barton didn't see a single ragged person here. Everyone was dressed in clean and decent clothes, and at worst they looked like small landowners in their own world.
Barton rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he was seeing a mirage-like illusion. If Barton was still calm, then von Meier was completely shocked by the sight in front of him.
He stared at the brightly lit streets outside with wide eyes, if it weren't for the fact that he still had some reason to know that he couldn't show his cowardice in the other world, I'm afraid Von Meier would have jumped up and shouted by now: This is not magic!
The Hongqi car drove smoothly all the way to the Diaoyutai Hotel, and when Barton and Von Meier had settled down and all the foreign affairs personnel had left the villa, Feng Meier finally couldn't suppress his inner thoughts, and he roared wildly: "This is not magic! This world is not magical at all!"
For von Meer, what he sees today is beyond all his common sense.
"Senior brother, your world is crazy. How did they do it? Spread the lighting all over the street, no! all over the city, all the tall buildings, all the houses, all blooming in the night. Oh my God! How many legendary mages do it take to do this? Twenty Barton ......?"
Touch~
Before Von Meyer could finish his sentence, Master Barton's magician hand slapped him away.
"Quack! You're also a fifth-order mage, don't look like you haven't seen the market! What kind of system! Are the disciples taught by Carter so discerning!"
Master Patton reprimanded Von Meyer. Feng Meier was slapped far away, and could only whisper secretly: "Wasn't you also startled just now." ”
Of course, this can only be said in a whisper, and I dare not say it loudly, otherwise I don't know how the irascible Master Barton will clean himself up.
The detached cottages of the Diaoyutai Hotel are very elaborate and luxurious, but Barton is not in the mood to see these things and all kinds of new things here. He needs to think about what's next.
As an accompaniment, Qin Kuairen couldn't help but ask Master Barton after putting away the luggage of Master Barton and Feng Meier, "Master Barton, why didn't you agree to the high-yield grain seeds and agricultural assistance plan proposed by the leader just now?" Our country has a fairly high level of agricultural technology, and if we fully support the Wizarding World, the Wizarding World will soon be able to get out of the food crisis!"
Master Barton glanced at Qin Kuairen and whispered, "Ridiculous, there is no long-term vision. ”
"Huh?" Qin Kuairen didn't know what Master Barton was referring to when he said that he had no long-term vision.
Master Barton waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, let's rest early." Tomorrow I will talk to the leader of Fu Changqing, and we will go around this city. ”
"Okay. Qin Kuairen nodded.
Master Barton then said, "Xiao Qin, you take us around tomorrow. ”
"No problem, I am familiar with the prosperous Wangfujing, Qianmen Street, and the World Trade Center, and I can take you to see the attractions to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall." Qin Kuairen did not shirk this task.
When Von Meier heard that he could go out to play, his eyes lit up, after all, it was the first time to travel to another world.
But Barton said coldly, "Who told you to take us to those places?" You're going to take us tomorrow to the poorest part of the city!"
