"Tanaka-kun, what kind of building material is this? It's not a stone, but it's unusually smooth and resistant to seawater erosion and mud on rainy days, which is definitely a great invention. ”

You can't blame Sbilano for being a little rustic, the world's earliest cement was invented by the British technician Smirton in 1756, before that there was only Romanesque cement, but that kind of cement is only a little better than lime mortar, not modern cement, even Roman cement is also after the 17th century, before that there was only lime mortar.

That is, in addition to the commonly used wooden docks, the wharves in Europe at this time only have the time-consuming marble wharf, and the scale must be big, and it is normal for Sbillano to be surprised when he sees that there is such a large concrete wharf in the primitive place of Ezo Island.

"It's concrete! How? Don't you have this kind of basic building materials in the West? This material is used to build houses and roads in China, and it has high structural strength and can withstand typhoons and earthquakes......"

At this time, several sailors helped Sbilano's salute to the dock, and said to Yuichiro Tanaka: "Tanaka-kun, excuse me, we have carried the salute ashore, we are going back to the army, goodbye!" ”

"Thank you! Good bye! Yuichiro Tanaka also bowed politely in return.

At this time, there were already dock porters waiting on the side, and when they waited for the clipper to leave, they immediately asked Yuichiro Tanaka, "Excuse me, do you need help running the ceremony?" ”

"How much do you want?" Sbillano saluted a lot, and the two of them would definitely not be able to take it, so Yuichiro Tanaka agreed.

"Five copper plates, very cheap."

"What? So expensive? Can it be less? ”

The Far Eastern Kingdom implements a metal currency system, a silver dollar is ten copper plates, and five copper plates cost half a silver dollar, you must know that Yuichiro Tanaka's salary a month is only five silver dollars, and the purchasing power of silver dollars is very sufficient, equivalent to the US dollars in World War II, no wonder Yuichiro Tanaka was so surprised.

"I'm sorry! Your salutation is very much, and we have this as a price, and we cannot be less. ”

The dock porters here are not coolies like other countries, they are government employees, and you can find someone else at this price, whether you like to move or not.

"Okay!" Yuichiro Tanaka reluctantly took out a silver coin and said to him.

"Tanaka-kun, this is my salute, I'll give it, how embarrassed to ask you for money." Sbillano on the side hurriedly stopped Yuichiro Tanaka from giving money, and took out a small ingot of silver and gave it to the porter.

"Yamada-kun, you are Japanese money, you can't use it in my country, wait for tomorrow, I'll take you to the bank to change a little money, you can pay it back to me!"

"Oh! Okay, thank you so much! "Sbillano has been in Japan for decades, and if you don't look at his appearance, just by his words and deeds, he is definitely a pure Japanese.

In fact, until this time, because of the barrier of the coastal shelterbelt, Sbillano could not see the city of Sapporo, except for the grand scale of the wharf, only he saw that everyone was neatly dressed and beautiful, very neat, there was an indescribable simplicity and beauty, and all of them were upright, and their words were polite, but it was obvious that they were all very confident, which was a realm that Europeans could not reach, as if they were all nobles, just like the person in front of him who was struggling to move the salute, obviously carrying coolies, but also so sunny and confident, Sbirano didn't understand how he could be so confident? It's really strange that there are many things every year, especially here.

Arriving at a beautiful European-style building with only two floors, Yuichiro Tanaka said to Sbilano: "Yamada-kun, this is a passage for foreigners, I can't accompany you in, I'll come back tomorrow to pick you up at the exit." ”

"Tomorrow? How does it take so long? Sbillano asked, puzzled.

"You have to pass the physical illness examination, tomorrow is the fastest."

"I'm just here from Nagasaki, Japan, I'm in good health, I'm a doctor, I know in my heart, why do I need to do a disease test?"

"I'm sorry! This is the law of our country, and no one can be exempt unless you are not in the territory of our country. ”

"Oh! Oh, my God! It's stricter here than in Europe. Sbillano sighed.

Of course, Sbilano only complained, of course he would not turn back, besides, he had already broken the axe, and there was no boat to go back, and he had never returned to Japan and Europe in his life.

This is because the customs of the Far Eastern Kingdom have strict regulations, and you can only go back as many people as you want on the ship when you come, that is, ordinary citizens of the Far Eastern Kingdom have no right to leave Ezo Island by boat.

Sbillano was alone when he came, so he automatically gave up the right to leave, of course, Sbillano didn't know it at this time.

This regulation of the customs of the Far Eastern Kingdom has well restricted the activities of the enemy and internal rebellion, and of course, no citizens of the Far Eastern Kingdom want to go to Japan, which is stable and prosperous, and is the most suitable place in the world for people to live.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Yuichiro Tanaka came to pick up Sbilano as promised.

"Haha! Yamada-kun, how was yesterday okay? ”

"Luckily, I said, there is nothing wrong with my body. It's just that...... Tanaka-kun, what kind of lights do you use at night? Why is it so bright? And I have to say, your disease examination is really strict! They confiscated all my clothes, saying that they wanted to kill the virus and prevent them from entering the country with germs, oh my God! You even know there are bacteria? Am I back in Europe? ”

"Yamada-kun, you're joking, Europe is so backward and dirty, how can it be compared to our Far Eastern Kingdom? You haven't entered the country yet, and when you enter the city, you'll change your mind. ”

"What? Europe is lagging behind? It's the funniest joke I've ever heard, you know? It has always been our Europe that has spread civilization all over the world, even if it is stronger than the Ming Dynasty, it is also very ignorant and backward, far from being comparable to our Europe. ”

"Alright! I won't argue with you, the facts will change your mind, but for now let's call a carriage to carry the salute to the carriage! ”

When the two disagreed, Yuichiro Tanaka skipped the controversial topic and beckoned a carriage as dashing as a taxi in later generations.

The two of them worked together to carry the salute into the carriage, and after the two were seated, Yuichiro Tanaka instructed the coachman, "Go to the bank."

"Drive!" The coachman raised his whip and pulled the reins, and the carriage started slowly.

This is a pure Western-style soft-topped carriage, there is a large salute barn in the back, black and bright and grainy leather chairs, very luxurious and comfortable, the carriage is very well absorbed, driving on a smooth cement road, not bumpy at all, the road is lined with well-trimmed beautiful belts and grass, the scenery is very beautiful, Sbirano is suspected of returning to Europe.

"Wow! What do I see? This...... This......? ”

When the carriage crossed the shelterbelt, the beautiful scenery of Sapporo suddenly jumped into view, this is a beautiful city that has been carefully planned and designed, flat and clean roads, on both sides of the scenic belt, and then there are neatly planned Western-style buildings, most of which are four-storey, and the rest are also two-storey.

In particular, the wide and bright glass windows are so dazzling, you know, glass is also very expensive in Europe, only the aristocracy can afford it, or a small piece of stained glass is made of a small piece, how can there be such a large piece of colorless transparent glass? That's a sky-high price, and you can't buy it.

There are also beautiful tiles, neat and beautiful, and they are also very expensive without thinking about it, anyway, there is no such thing in Europe.

And also...... And also......

There were too many, and it was only at this time that Spilano understood why Yuichiro Tanaka said that Europe was backward and dirty, and that there was no comparison between the two, just as a beggar and a nobleman were richer than rich.
