Chapter 133: The Metro
"This Kan Rongxuan is not a scholar, if he really agrees with the Fairness Party and is ready to reorganize the Fairness Party, why doesn't he put forward his ideas in the newspaper, but sneakily associates with the party rebels, not with a ghost in his heart!" Zhu Sisi gave Ye Zhao fragrant tea, and said a little angrily, she loves the house and Wu, and she has no good impression of the party that opposes Ye Zhao.
Ye Zhao looked at Zhu Sisi's article and said, "Isn't this just a chance to give him a chance to say." He used a brush to underline a line of text and said, "That's a good point." Dictatorship is atavism, the resurrection of the [***] system. Then he smiled again and said, "The word ridiculous is a good word." However, it was then that Zhu Sisi gave a two-word comment on the idea of abolishing the right of inheritance put forward by the Fairness Party, which was somewhat influenced by the theory of Bakunin, which believed that the right of inheritance is the root of all social injustices, and that the abolition of the right of inheritance will solve the unfair distribution of income and various political problems from the source.
"However, there are many points worth pondering." Ye Zhao is thoughtful, philosophy, the philosophy that solves the structure of human society, the fierce collision of various points of view, being in it, it really makes people feel a lot, and many times, it can't be generalized with right or wrong.
"I heard that the British are preparing to increase their troops in India, and they are going to recruit more Indian mercenaries?" A hint of worry flashed in Zhu Sisi's eyes when she asked, she knew that the current situation of rapid economic growth was not easy to come by, and once a war broke out with the Empire, it might be a disaster for the rising Empire.
Ye Zhao bowed slightly: "Your news is down." "The British Conservative Parliament has passed a bill to strengthen India's armaments, and it is clear that as Chinese influence seeps into Iran, the Eastern Empire has formed a semi-circular encirclement of India, making the British feel a great threat.
Feeling out the pocket watch and looking at it, Ye Zhao said, "It's time to go!" He waved his hand to the seven girls who were reading on the small desk but pricked up their ears to eavesdrop on the movement here, and said, "Read hard." ”
As soon as she left the Changchun Palace, the female guard hurriedly sent an urgent report, but it said that a French fleet with armed ships had docked in Hong Kong, and at the same time, it was said that the Edo Masahawk had confirmed the news of the French fleet's visit to Edo.
The French, who had been active in Burma and Vietnam in recent times, and now had armed ships to the Far East, apparently with the support of the British, began their plan to return to the Far East, which was cautious and low-key, but whose renewed adventures in the Far East were closely linked to the surname of Napoleon III.
Perhaps the arrival of Chinese industrial goods on the European market caused concern among many Europeans, and Napoleon III saw this as an opportunity for France to re-emerge, inciting continental European countries to be hostile to China, in order to isolate Germany, which had a relatively close relationship with China, and to regain dominance of the continent while saving its precarious throne.
Ye Zhao had already forgotten these things when he went to pick up the matchmaker, the first electric locomotive subway in China was opened, and it should be the time to celebrate.
Sitting in the car, the matchmaker's beautiful bun is like a cloud, wearing a big peony emerald green smoke veil Bixialuo, faintly revealing a corner of embroidered shoes, the national color is fragrant, the fish and geese are still so beautiful, but the classical beauty and Ye Zhao who is wearing Tang costumes are in high spirits, which inevitably makes Ye Zhao feel that time and space are out of order.
"Show me when you put on your heels." Ye Zhao's words, the matchmaker pretended not to hear it.
"The British want to increase their troops in India?" The matchmaker also got the news.
Ye Zhao bowed slightly, and said, "I still negotiate with the Nepalese and ask the Nepalese to stop working for us." ”
The matchmaker said: "You must be in the chest?" "Seeing how Xianggong started from scratch, now that the country is strong, the matchmaker is not very worried about Westerners, it is a big deal to break the mess and start over.
Ye Zhao said: "Let's see." ”
Today, I said that I went out of the palace with the matchmaker, and I came to take the subway line 1 that has just been renovated, a 10-kilometer subway line, of which the trunk line from the inner city to the new city has been renovated and began to use electric locomotives.
Today's subway lines in the world, with London as the most, the circular subway line is more than 30 kilometers, but the subway at the head of the steam engine is billowing black smoke, although Londoners like to ride, after all, it is not beneficial to health.
The electric locomotive renovation project of Jingshi Metro adopts the three-track power supply mode, and transmits power to the locomotive through the third rail insulated between the two tracks, using 600 volt DC power supply, the locomotive weighs 97 tons, and the power is 1200 horsepower, which is jointly developed by Dongfang Electric Company and the scientific research department under the Royal Academy of Sciences.
The Eastern Empire became more and more attractive to European scientists, and China had already replaced the United States as the most active place for scientific and technological inventions, and also replaced the United States as the first choice for European scholars to emigrate.
This morning is no longer the model of Ye Zhao relying on personal charm and knowledge of his past life to attract Western technical talents, but the overall progress in science and technology has made many scientists yearn for it, which is what Ye Zhao is most pleased with, and Ye Zhao also believes that with the emergence of a situation in which a hundred flowers compete in the imperial academic world, the attraction of the imperial land to European scholars will continue in the future.
Nowadays, many European scientists who immigrate to China are because of the inherent mystery of the East, when it is combined with modern science and technology to burst out of infinite vitality, the attraction of scientific researchers is fatal, and some scientific researchers like the honor bestowed by the royal family, and like the financial and R&D support brought by the [***] system, which is contrary to the thinking of many philosophical theorists.
However, Ye Zhao felt that if the mind could not be truly emancipated, the so-called scientific progress and rapid development would be short-lived in the end after all, and scientific researchers should also remove some shackles.
The car drove all the way to Dongbianmen, which is also the station for electric bus transportation in the inner city, and it is also the place where the inner city can take the subway to the outer city.
Ye Zhao and the matchmaker went down the steps to enter the subway station surrounded by several plainclothes guards, the platform lights are not dim, although it is slightly simple, but the yellow wood decoration, wooden chairs and platforms, quite the style of the Republic of China, the passengers waiting for the train whisper softly, courteous to each other, and the crowding of later generations is not the same.
Ye Zhao, the matchmaker and the guards entered the No. 3 carriage, a mahogany carriage, rows of soft chairs, the environment was extremely comfortable, from the east gate to the new city department store station five dimes, if you take occasionally, it is not a burden on the working class.
In addition to Ye Zhao and others, there were more than a dozen passengers sparsely seated in the carriage, robes and suits, men, women and children, and the horn hanging in the carriage sounded the soft voice of the female announcer, and then a staff member closed the door.
The tram started slowly, and the matchmaker patted Ye Zhao's hand gently, she knew better than anyone how difficult it was for this ancient country to get to the present day, and how difficult it was for Ye Zhao to go through ups and downs all the way, thinking about the scene when the two first met more than 20 years ago and almost killed him, the matchmaker felt a lot in her heart.
The speeding tram was not as satisfying as looking at the spirit of the people who took the tram, and it was also under the roots of the imperial city, compared with the people who were full of life in the past, it was hard to imagine that this was the same country.
On the other side of the passage sat a slightly back position an old man in a green robe, with white hair and beard, about the age of a sixtieth birthday, one sleeve was empty, obviously without a left arm, the old man secretly looked at Ye Zhao and the matchmaker from time to time, and soon was noticed by the guards, and in the gestures of the gods, he had begun to focus on monitoring and guarding against him.
Beside the old man, a middle-aged European man with chestnut curly hair sits, and when the old man coughed, he took out a white handkerchief with disgust on his face and covered his mouth and nose.
Finally, with the old man's cough, a trace of phlegm coincidentally splashed on the leg of the European man's trousers, and the European man immediately became angry, and the old man just said: "I'm sorry", the European man had already pushed the old man away, and the old man staggered two steps and threw him into the passage.
There was an uproar in the carriage immediately, and several young men stood up to teach this arrogant Westerner a lesson, and the black-uniformed policeman in the carriage walked over quickly, holding the black belt around his waist with both hands, and said loudly: "What's the matter?" All sit down, sit down! ”
The European man had already taken out his ID and handed it to the police, saying, "I am the first secretary of the French Embassy, Queiro, and I will complain to you now." Pointing to the signs on the carriage prohibiting spitting and smoking, he said to the policeman: "I complained that he spit on me, and I hope you can expel him from the train." ”
The police frowned slightly, and now major cities are implementing the "civilized health campaign", and spitting in public places will be fined, but looking at the arrogant demeanor of the French, it can't help but make people angry.
The matchmaker suddenly said in Ye Zhao's ear: "Xianggong, the older one seems to be a soldier I led, and he lost an arm during the siege of Changsha, what is the name, yes, Zhang Sanqi, remember this name." ”
Ye Zhao was stunned, and also looked at the old man, and couldn't help admiring the matchmaker, thinking that this Zhang Sanqi was just an ordinary soldier, and he was seen by the matchmaker by chance, but he still remembered him, no wonder the matchmaker had a high prestige in the army.
At this time, the police officer had already turned to the old man and asked, "Old man, are you okay?" The old man struggled to get up from the ground, but he apologized to Queiro vigorously, "I'm sorry sir, I, I just wanted to come and see the train going underground, I know that my body is spitting, Ben, shouldn't have come......" Coughing again as he spoke.
Looking at this one-armed old man, Ye Zhao didn't know what it was like in his heart, he was even more angry, and his face sank, the empire's pension for wounded soldiers and martyrs is extremely heavy, how can it make people so bleak at night, is it difficult to say that he is high, he has already been like the monarchs of previous dynasties, and he has long been unaware of how the bureaucrats below fill their pockets and disobey the yang?
