Chapter 489: It's So Far Away
The shock that Manhattan brought to Louis XIII Jr. was definitely wave after wave.
The wonders of this kingdom have left an indelible mark on his little heart.
And for all this, it is impossible for Zhao Hongyu to know the way.
With the arrival of Louis XIII Jr., Zhang Tie immediately began negotiations with Louis Jr.
Negotiations began on a number of things to aid France.
For Zhao Hongyu not to be here in the empire, Little Louis was a little disappointed.
You must know that in addition to coming to discuss assistance with the empire in person, he also wants to meet the crown prince and then win over the relationship.
It's good that the crown prince actually went to the East.
So, Louis Jr.'s disappointment is obvious.
However, he had not forgotten what he was going to do when he came to America, so he was able to cheer up now and devote himself to the negotiation with Zhang Tie.
Of course, in his free time, Zhang Tie, as the host, would also take little Louis XIII around Manhattan.
After all, little Louis seemed to be full of youthful curiosity about everything here in the empire.
This place in Manhattan is completely different from what little Louis imagined.
The whole city is clean and tidy, and there is no scene of filthy and water in his vision.
This made him very curious.
This is not a common occurrence on the European continent.
Think about it, of all the cities on the continent today, which one is not stinking with dung?
Only cities on this side of the American continent do not have such a scene.
It's just so clean.
This made little Louis, who was accustomed to all kinds of filth in the cities of the European continent, a little unaccustomed to it.
The bustling docks, the workers coming and going, the dazzling array of goods, the shops one after another, little Louis XIII did not see idlers.
Basically, the people he met were busy.
Wander down for a while. Little Louis XIII didn't even see a single beggar.
This was what shocked him the most.
There are no beggars!
What kind of concept is this?
Louis XIII Jr. could not have been unclear.
Even on the streets of the Vatican, the richest city in Europe, there are piles of beggars.
Today's bankrupts in Europe have turned into displaced people, which has had a great impact on Europe.
It can be said that beggars and robbers are everywhere.
Villages closer to the city are better to say, because the nobles and lords have garrisons close to the city to make the robbers fearful.
But away from the city, it has become a paradise for thieves.
Even in France, where the domestic situation is relatively stable, there are constantly cases of thieves or homeless riots.
As a result, Europeans have become accustomed to turmoil.
On the contrary, for this reason, Louis XIII Jr. came to Manhattan. I'm not used to the peace and quiet atmosphere of Manhattan.
Anyway, the little guy's trip this time was an eye-opener for him.
It is impossible for him not to know what kind of benefits a stable situation in a country can have for a country.
He just got it all too well.
If the situation in the country is stable, then it can concentrate on other things, and it does not have to worry about the homeless or the robbers and mobs.
At the same time, because the situation is stable, economic development will not fluctuate much.
In addition, the Song Empire was far away from Europe, and the geographical environment was very favorable......
After his own observations, Louis XIII Jr. sighed in his heart that the advantage of the Americas was too strong.
However, it is precisely because of its geographical environment. So there could not have been much conflict between the Song Empire and Europe.
After all, an Atlantic Ocean can become a natural barrier.
In this way, France and the Song Empire were allied. It's a completely beneficial and harmless thing.
With such considerations, little Louis XIII was even more determined in his heart to make more friends with the Song Empire.
"I can't imagine that the environment of your country is so beautiful, it is completely beyond my imagination."
this day. Zhang Tie and Louis XIII Jr. took a stroll around the shopping street near the docks, and then Zhang Tie led them to the most famous noodle restaurant in Manhattan.
Look at the crowded streets outside. And the scene of going in and out of the various shops, restaurants, and snack bars, Louis XIII Jr. sighed.
Yes, there is a strong business atmosphere here, from which it can be inferred that its business is developed.
The commercially developed countries collect more taxes, which Louis Jr. still knows.
Therefore, he could judge that the empire was abundant in terms of funds.
Therefore, it should be possible to ask for help on your own.
During this time, he also went to visit the residential area with Zhang Tie.
For the small two- and three-story villa-like buildings where Manhattan residents live, as well as the environment of the community, I also have an understanding.
Anyway, compared to Europe, the residential community here in Manhattan is really a world and a world.
Zhao Hongyu: They built residential communities in full accordance with the American living concept and environment of later generations.
So it was not surprising that little Louis XIII was shocked.
And the people who live there are not nobles and lords at all, they are just ordinary people.
This made little Louis XIII even more astonishing.
You must know that such a villa-style house can only be inhabited by a small aristocrat in Europe.
At this time, many ordinary people on the European continent just built a wall with stones, and then spread some straw on top to make a home.
But in the Americas, ordinary people here can live in such 'mansions'.
It can be seen how abundant the empire's economy is.
Of course, Louis XIII Jr. ignored a fact.
That is, the people who live in such a community are basically citizens of Chinese descent.
Other Indians, such as Ah San, would not live in such a house.
Most of the places where they live are brick buildings with four or five floors, and the interior is a two-bedroom and one-living room, some postmodern residential buildings.
And the laborers who came to Manhattan from Europe lived in urban villages, according to later generations.
However, there are some things that Louis XIII Jr. did not know at all.
"That's not much, we've only been developing our territory here in Manhattan for a little over two years. It's far worse than our capital. ”
For the praise and exclamation of Louis XIII Jr., Zhang Tie did not accept it at all, and at the same time bragged about a bull comparison.
Hearing Zhang Tie say this, little Louis XIII's eyes suddenly widened.
"What! Isn't that good, the capital of the empire is even more prosperous than Manhattan! ”
Zhang Tie smiled and nodded, acknowledging this.
However, what Zhang Tie imagined in his mind was the scene of the capital of China in the virtual world.
Yes, little Louis XIII doesn't know the way, and the capital Zhang Tie said is in the virtual world.
He thought it was the capital of the empire on the American continent at this time.
"I feel like I've seen it with my own eyes. I can't even imagine what a city bigger than Manhattan looks like. ”
In addition to being shocked, little Louis XIII sighed with a look on his face.
If what Zhang Tie said was true, then little Louis XIII was a little entangled in his heart.
Yes, I was originally rich and handsome.
But compared to others, it's like a dick.
Of course, the premise is that he wants to know that he is rich and handsome, and there is the word dick.
However, although he didn't know the two words, he still felt a bit like a bun.
Such a feeling. It made him feel very uncomfortable.
Zhang Tie observed the words, and knew that the little guy was a little lost.
But he didn't care at all, little Louis XIII was hit, and it was none of his business.
"The capital is too far from Manhattan. If it was closer, I could have taken you there, but it's too far away. ”
Zhang Tie fakely sighed and said to Little Louis.
"Oh, how far away."
Little Louis XIII heard Zhang Tie say this, and hurriedly asked.
After all, little Louis XIII was still very young. He is still a twelve-year-old boy.
Therefore, it is in his nature to get used to going everywhere and looking.
Especially the cities here in the Song Empire in the Americas, there are too many novelties for him.
So. The mentality of young people and their inquisitive instinct for novelties have now been developed.
Now listening to Zhang Tie say this, he has developed a strong interest in the capital of the Song Empire.
A city even more bustling than Manhattan!
What does that look like?
Since coming to Manhattan, little Louis XIII has felt so much surprise and shock in the city.
Now the capital is even stronger than Manhattan.
How could little Louis XIII not be impressed.
"It takes two years to go back and forth."
Zhang Tie opened his mouth and told a big lie.
He wouldn't take little Louis XIII to the capital, and besides, he didn't have the ability.
He made all this nonsense, and now the empire has a capital there.
Hiss!
Little Louis XIII gasped!
It takes two years to go back and forth, and it's really not an ordinary far.
With such a long journey and time, it seems that I really can't go.
Thinking of this, little Louis XIII couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.
Zhang Tie also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Damn, I really can't help it if you insist.
God is pitiful, I'm going to get a capital out there, I can't sell you as goods to the virtual world.
In that case, you can go to the capital.
But the problem is, if you go, you won't be able to come back.
Zhang Tie secretly complained in his heart.
"Two, your beef noodles are ready, this is the signature of our store, please use it slowly."
At this time, the European underage waitress of the noodle restaurant held two large bowls of hot and oily ramen in front of Zhang Tie and Xiao Louie.
The fragrant beef bone broth in the sea bowl exudes a mouth-watering aroma.
"Come, eat noodles. You can't go to the capital, but I can take you to our industrial city. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
