Chapter 496: The Road to Luxury

"Mom~~" Angelina retorted: "There is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid that there are people with hearts, Wang Feng will bring miracles, and he will make Western capitalists realize that there is no contradiction between the beautiful mountains and rivers and the development of industry." ”

"Humph!" Mrs. Cavour snorted coldly: "I admit that Wang Feng's idea is good, everyone likes green mountains and green waters, but I can guarantee that he will soon understand that this is unrealistic, after all, he is too young and idealistic, and governing the country must be realistic, and he will pay a heavy price for it." ”

"Then we'll see." Angelina was speechless and looked at Benito, who was equally speechless, both shaking their heads and not squeaking anymore.

As the car moved on, Angelina's car was silent for a while, but Amanda's car was constantly screaming, for low-level British workers like them living in filthy and filthy slums, China's environment was like paradise!

Although the roadside was desolate, overgrown with weeds and trees, and only an asphalt road was paved, they felt empty compared to the crowded workers' settlement, not to mention the green mountains and clear water, blue sky and white clouds, and the air with the fragrance of spring!

Amanda couldn't help but say, "Bill, do you regret coming to China?" ”

Bill said excitedly: "I don't regret it, it's so beautiful here, I love China, but I heard that China has hundreds of millions of people, why are there so few people here?" According to common sense, the estuary of a river is the most densely populated area of a country. ”

Amelia took it and said, "I heard Zhou Yanqi mention that China's land is very large, with more than 10 million square kilometers. With 400 million people spread over such a vast land, it doesn't seem like much. And we in England and Ireland have only 313,000 square kilometers, but there are 50 million people. The population density is much larger than that of China, so it is crowded.

But Suzhou, the capital of China, has a population of 6 million, and London has only 1.5 million, and my God, I can't imagine what it would be like for 6 million people to be crammed into a city, and it would be as chaotic as London. ”

Bill nodded, "I see, I hope not." ”

After a while, Bill asked again, "By the way, what do you say Mr. Wang Feng is doing in China?" It should be a big official, right? ”

"Hmm!" Amanda also nodded: "Yes, I happen that everyone respects him very much, and I have learned some Chinese during this time, although I can't speak well, I can roughly understand that others call him the commander-in-chief, and he should be the commander of the army, just like the commander of our British army."

But it is the business of others to be powerful and powerful, we cannot rely on him, we have to live a rich life with our own hands. So as not to lose the face of the British, it will also make Wang Feng look down on me, I heard Miss Angelina say that Chinese society is very fair. People are equal to each other, and no one can use power to oppress others.

Bill, we have the technology on our hands. What China lacks most now is skilled workers, if in such an environment. We are still suffering and being poor, and we can't blame others. We can only blame ourselves for our own inferior character. ”

"Yes!" Bill agreed: "We are greatly favored by Mr. Wang Feng, not to mention repaying him, at least we can't bother him, as long as we work hard, we will definitely make a fortune!" ”

There was a hint of spring in Amanda's beautiful eyes, she could have today, all because of Wang Feng, she was willing to sacrifice her body to express her gratitude, although she thought that Bill would not mind, but she didn't dare to show the slightest thought in front of Wang Feng, because her disgraceful past made her inferior, she could only get as close to Wang Feng as possible, silently watching this man, at most, when doing that with Bill, she fantasized that Bill was Wang Feng!

The horse's hooves rattled, and before I knew it, the carriage drove into Baoshan City, which is now the first city without walls in China, and just after crossing a bridge, I heard Angelina's signature scream coming from the carriage in front of me: "Oh, my God, I want to get off!" ”

Amanda and the others didn't understand what was going on, they only saw the carriage in front of them stop, Wang Feng and the others and Angelina's family all walked out of the car, so the family also got off in turn.

Suddenly, everyone was shocked!

In front of you is a north-south avenue, 50 meters wide, paved with pitch-black asphalt, planted with neat street trees on both sides, and in the middle of the road is a flower bed about 2 meters wide, planted with small winter evergreen plants and some budding fruit trees, and there are scattered gardeners watering or turning the soil!

Amanda's family swears that London, even in the rich West End, does not have such a beautiful and extravagant road!

Such a road, in addition to beauty, they can only think of luxury, indeed, fifty meters wide, with street trees on both sides, and flower beds in the middle of the road!

You know, the roads in Europe are generally narrow, there is no room for flowers and grass, and the whole city is like a forest of concrete and stone, gray and monotonous!

"It's so beautiful, it's the same as a garden, Wang Feng, Baoshan was still in ruins when we left, but now it's a beautiful garden." Angelina held her face in disbelief.

Benito also sighed sincerely: "Mr. Wang Feng, I love China more and more, although now only the road is paved, the roadside buildings have not been built, but Baoshan has shown her beauty to the world, I believe that in your hands, China will not only be rich and prosperous, but also a beautiful country, I am Chinese New Year's Eve eight years old today, I am thinking, when I am old, whether to come to China to retire." ”

Wang Feng smiled slightly: "Mr. Benito, the Chinese people will remember your help, and I welcome you on behalf of the Chinese people." ”

Generally speaking, people did not pay much attention to the road and the urban environment at that time, and whether it was beautiful or not was not the main problem, and practicality ranked first, and this straight avenue, both beautiful and practical, was the face of Baoshan, and the first impression made people have to give birth to a good impression.

When stepping on it, looking at the flowers and trees, it is difficult not to feel relaxed and happy.

"Humph!" However, after hearing the words of her brother and daughter, Madame Cavour's face immediately sank, and she snorted again: "What can a road say? I think you're making too much of a fuss, and you're willing to spend money, so what can't you do? ”

"Mom, that's not what I said." Angelina said dissatisfied: "It is indeed not difficult to build such a road, but the rulers must first have a people-oriented governing philosophy, think about what the people think, and be anxious about the needs of the people, who of our European rulers will do this?" With a little money, they are busy building their own gardens, how can they invest money in public facilities? ”

"Hmm!" For this, Amanda's family felt deeply, and nodded again and again, the workers' district of London can't even drink a sip of clean water, while the middle class and capitalists in the West District drink tap water, the key is that the workers can't afford to pay for the water, who will give you a water pipe if you don't have money?

On the other hand, in China, it is clear that building such a luxurious road is to lose money, but it is also repaired at a loss of money, just to let the people have a good living environment, which is fundamentally different from the Western pursuit of a money-oriented social atmosphere, who doesn't like it? It also gives them more confidence in their life in China.

"Huh? What is it? Amelia asked, pointing to the half-cut cement stake nestled in the street tree.

Wang Feng gestured to a female special combat member, who introduced in more proficient English: "This is the reserved light pole base, our Democratic Alliance Army's scientific department has developed a light bulb that can be used for 2,000 hours, but the generator is still under development, once there is stable and cheap electricity, electric lights will be installed on the roadside to bring light to pedestrians who travel at night, and it should be reserved when planning to avoid re-excavation of the road when it is available."

And underground, there is also reserved space for network management of wires and communication lines, and the drainage ditch and sewer are all dark passages, if you look carefully, the fence ditch in front of the street tree is used for drainage, I dare to guarantee, as long as it is not a heavy rainstorm for a day or two, Baoshan City will never be waterlogged. ”

'Oh! My God! As soon as these words came out, Madame Cavour exclaimed in her heart, at that time, European cities did not have a plan, basically thinking of what to do, digging up and rebuilding, tinkering, and the same is true of cities like Turin and Paris, in comparison, China is ahead of Europe in terms of urban construction.

Although Mrs. Cavour restrained herself, the female soldier still made her can't help but look at her in surprise, from the outside, this female soldier looks ordinary, and the military uniform is not particularly conspicuous, she should not have a high position in the army, but she can speak relatively fluent English, which surprised her.

Zhou Xiuying introduced knowingly: "Mrs. Cavour, she is the squad leader of the special operations team of the Democratic Alliance Army, and she probably wants to be a sergeant of the British army. ”

Staff sergeant? Can a sergeant also converse in English?

Mrs. Cavour knew very well that there were very few people in China who could speak foreign languages fluently, and even if there were, they were important figures like Wang Feng, and there was only a sergeant in front of her, not even an officer, so she couldn't help but be even more surprised, and out of politeness, she smiled at the female soldier.

Zhou Xiuying and other Chinese also looked at each other and smiled, and even Angelina curled the corners of her mouth.

Benito was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Wang Feng excitedly and asked, "What?" Two thousand hours of light bulbs? Mr. Wang Feng, is this true? ”

How is it not surprising that light bulbs were introduced in Europe in 1854 and last about 400 hours, and only two years later, there were 2,000 hours of light bulbs in China?

Benito was not a simple aristocrat, he also had a certain attainment in science and technology, and soon understood the huge benefits involved!

Wang Feng looked at the female soldier again, and the female soldier smiled and said, "Mr. Benito, our scientific department can guarantee the reliability of the light bulb, and two months ago, we just applied for a patent at the Chinese Patent Office. ”

"That's wonderful!" Benito hurriedly said: "Mr. Wang Feng, I hope to cooperate with you on the light bulb. ”

Wang Feng smiled and nodded: "It's not a problem, when you get to Suzhou, someone will negotiate with you, come, let's continue to move forward." (To be continued......)
