Pittsburgh is located in southwestern Pennsylvania, USA, where the Oregna River meets the Monlonme Heira River to form the mouth of the Ohio River, and is the second largest city in Pennsylvania after Philadelphia. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Pittsburgh was once a famous steel industry city in the United States and was known as the "steel capital of the world". However, after the 1980s, as the Republic's steel production increased, Pittsburgh's steel business was completely taken offline, and it was forced to start a transformation, becoming a victim of the Republic's rise.
For now, Pittsburgh's steel industry is just getting started, and Carnegie's factory hasn't opened yet, so it's still some way from being known as the "steel capital of the world."
The city of Pittsburgh has always been closely associated with steel, with the Pennsylvania Canal in 1837 and the railroad opening in 1851, making Pittsburgh an important land and water transportation hub, laying a good foundation for Pittsburgh's steel industry.
As the train approached Pittsburgh, Li Mu looked at the smoke and dust shrouded in the sky over Pittsburgh and scolded hatefully: "Damn it, I hate this kind of weather." ”
Although Pittsburgh is not yet the "steel capital of the world", the city is already lined with steel mills, and there are chimneys everywhere that are swallowing up this black cloud, which makes Li Mu feel familiar.
At the end of the twentieth century, many cities in the republic neglected environmental pollution in order to develop their economies, and as a result, they were forced to invest heavily in environmental restoration after economic development.
This model was once criticized by many people, that in order to develop the economy to pollute the environment is worth the loss, in fact, these people ignore a problem, it is precisely because of economic development to a certain extent, those bricks and beasts can sit in front of the computer and spray special spray, otherwise everyone will return to the primitive society to open a coverless meeting, blue sky and blue water to do something you love to do, isn't it beautiful!
"It's a symbol of civilization, and you should be proud of it." Henry's expression was obviously proud, smelling the smell of charcoal in the air, Henry even closed his eyes intoxicated, which really made Li Mu feel cold.
Industry-
Indeed, if you have not experienced the era of lack of clothes and few clothes, you really can't feel the urgency of being controlled by others. I remember that after the founding of the Republic, seeing the poor and weak country, the first generation of leaders of the Republic made a great wish to change the face of the country in poverty and weakness and build the country into a powerful industrial country. For this reason, all the cities were modernized at that time, and a number of cultural relics, including the walls of the capital, were forced to be demolished, which later became a reason for some to attack the country's leaders.
"It's good that it's in Pittsburgh, as long as it's not in Springfield." Li Mu understands that you can't have both fish and bear's paws, but he still doesn't want to live in the haze all day long.
"I'd like Springfield to become an industrial city like Pittsburgh, so at least we don't have to travel for two days and two nights." Henry thought a little too much.
For Henry, the more developed the economy, the higher his social status as a lawyer.
Two days and two nights is a bit exaggerated, Springfield is 650 kilometers away from Pittsburgh, although the speed of the train at this time is not fast, there are still twenty or thirty kilometers per hour, in fact, it is more than a day.
When Li Mu got on the train, he sent a telegram to Carnegie, and when he got off the train, Carnegie sent someone to greet Li Mu and his party at the train station.
Tom was obviously not as deep as Carnegie's city, and after seeing Li Mu, Tom couldn't help but admire: "God, you are really so young, it's shocking, haven't you been afraid when you faced Jesse James?" ”
"Of course there is, but I can't care about it when I think that guy has so many rewards." Li Mu understated.
This is almost everyone's reaction when they see Li Mu for the first time, although Li Mu now shaves every day to make himself look more mature, but the effect is not obvious, now Li Mu's mouth and cheeks do have fluff outcrops, but as long as they are scraped off, there will basically be no traces, so Li Mu still looks very immature.
"Haha, you're so humorous." Tom snorted, and then invited Li Mu to get into the carriage.
In Pittsburgh, horse-drawn carriage usage is much higher than in Springfield, which is probably related to Pittsburgh's urban positioning, as a steel city, urban pollution is inevitable, and no one wants to ride a horse through the haze, which is really not very pleasant.
"As a Qing countryman, it is truly amazing that you can achieve such great results." Sitting in the carriage, Tom was still sighing, and there was a white arrogance in his words.
"Mr. Ream is now a U.S. citizen." Henry helped Li Mu relieve the siege.
On the night he arrived in Springfield, Li Mu gave the power of attorney to Henry, who asked his assistant to go to the New York Immigration Bureau to handle Li Mu's naturalization.
It's very simple to become a U.S. citizen these days, you don't need to prove your property, you don't need to check your ancestors, you just need to make an application, which is very convenient.
"It's the right choice." Tom didn't dwell on the issue.
The Carnegie family was previously Irish and a new immigrant, and Tom didn't have much to be proud of in front of Li Mu in this matter.
After arriving in Pittsburgh, it was getting late, and the signing would not be carried out until tomorrow, so Li Mu and his party went back to the hotel to rest first, and everything would be said tomorrow.
After returning to the hotel, Li Mu took a shower and changed his clothes, and as soon as he left the bathroom door, he saw Yan Shun waiting for Li Mu.
"What's wrong?" Li Mu asked casually.
"Brother Mu, is it true that Henry said that you became an American citizen?" Yan Shun's expression was quite apprehensive.
Yan Shun's English has learned well, and now he can understand simple English, Li Mu did not avoid Yan Shun when discussing nationality with Henry in the past two days, it is estimated that Yan Hu and Yan Shun now understand what is going on.
"Yes, you also know that I offended the Alcohol Palace, and the Qing Kingdom can't go back." Li Mu didn't hide it, and originally planned to have a showdown with the Yan family about this problem after returning to Springfield.
"Brother Mu - it's all our fault, if it weren't for us, you wouldn't have to-" Yan Shun looked guilty, in Yan Shun's opinion, if Li Mu did not become an American citizen, then after returning to the Qing Empire in the future, he would definitely have to ride a high-ranking official on a horse, but now for the Yan family to break away from the Qing Empire, Li Mu's sacrifice is not small.
"It's not strange, you see that our current life is not better than when we were in the Qing Empire? If you want to open a point, there is no place to stay here. Li Mu said heroic, but he did not mean to be panicked like a lost dog.
"That's definitely good-Brother Mu, I don't know if we can-" Yan Shun didn't finish speaking, a little slurred.
Li Mu immediately understood what Yan Shun meant: "Wait until you get home, if your father and mother agree, then your family can also become an American citizen." ”
"That's great!" Yan Shun did not disappoint Li Mu, and he did not have much nostalgia for the Qing Empire.
