Chapter 491: Shameless

Seeing this, Lawrence realized the gap between the Western world and Daqian, just like a toddler with a wooden stick in hand, and an adult strong man in armor with a long knife in hand.

Not only Lawrence, but also the emissaries of other empires realized.

This is exactly the result that Emperor Qianwu wanted.

After all, these people have not experienced it intuitively, and everything is hearsay.

He believed that the fact that these shocking things in front of them would bring about more changes in their attitude toward the big cadres.

In the exclamation of the crowd, the hot air balloon slowly fell.

Li Jianye stood up and said loudly: "Okay, now is the last item, if you have the courage, you can take a hot air balloon tour of this prince and take a look at the customs of Daqian." ”

With that, he walked towards the hot air balloon.

Jessica hurriedly translated, and everyone followed in a trance.

Moments later, the hot air balloon lifted off and circled both the old and new towns of the capital.

At the end of the tour, almost all of them were wiggling their legs, but all of them were flushed with excitement.

What they have seen and heard and experienced today is enough for them to brag about for a long time after returning home.

According to the original plan, the next step was the welcome reception.

But at this time, Li Changfeng's housekeeper rushed over and whispered a few words in Li Jianye's ear.

Then Li Jianye clapped his hands and said loudly: "Everyone! After the welcome ceremony, it will be time for the visit, so please come with me. ”

First stop.

Li Jianye brought everyone to the train station, and everyone was shocked by the steel dragon in front of them.

Seeing the dense crowd of people and countless goods pulled on it, everyone was speechless by its powerful loading capacity.

Such a scene is far more shocking than Benjamin described.

Second stop.

Li Jianye took them to the weaving factory.

The last time Benjamin came to Daqian, the textile mill had not yet been built, so naturally they did not know anything about it.

When they saw a large number of looms working at a rapid speed driven by electric motors, and the cloth was produced at an astonishing speed, everyone was shocked and speechless by the scene in front of them.

With their limited knowledge and insight, it is difficult to understand what they are seeing.

They simply had no other words to express the great shock to their hearts except Ohmaiga.

By this time, it was almost dark.

The motorcycle factory, automobile factory, bicycle factory, steel factory, cement factory, etc., did not take them on a further tour, Li Jianye only pointed to introduce them from afar.

Even so, everyone was stunned by the tall buildings and the factory area with an amazing footprint.

By the time this was done, it was already dark.

Walking out of the factory area and entering the new city, everyone was once again shocked by the bustling streets lit by electric lights and the bustling crowds, and all kinds of novelties sold on both sides of the street seemed to be doing well.

Just by seeing all of this, they know how good the economic development of Daqian is.

The minds of smart people suddenly come alive, and such a rich place is simply the best choice for doing business and making money.

On this day, they all spent it in shock.

They have a more intuitive and profound understanding that the cadres are far superior to their country, both militarily and economically.

Realizing this made them feel a little frustrated.

But more than that, there is a strong desire.

Next is the wine banquet, the dishes are all provided by Li Changfeng's Diandude, and the deliciousness of Daqian is full of praise from everyone.

Everyone was very happy with today's hospitality.

……

Early the next morning, Li Changfeng got up early.

He must be present at today's pilgrimage.

Pinched the point to come to the Xuanzheng Palace, and as soon as he came in and said hello to Feng Quji, Ye Qingcang and others, Emperor Qianwu came.

After the worship was completed, Emperor Qianwu did not talk nonsense and issued an order directly.

"Messenger of the Western Nations."

With the shout of the eunuch, all the messengers entered the temple.

To Li Changfeng's surprise, these envoys also performed three bows and nine bows in accordance with the etiquette of the Great Cadres.

Although the movements are a little clumsy and not standard, they have everything they should have.

What Li Changfeng didn't know was that they had originally planned to meet them in accordance with Western etiquette, but after yesterday's special welcome ceremony, everyone discussed whether to use the highest etiquette of Daqian.

This is enough to express their respect for the Great Qiandi Emperor, after all, they came with a mission and must leave a good enough impression.

Another thing that surprised Li Changfeng was that Jessica actually entered the palace.

However, she did not wear Western-specific style clothes, and was dressed as an authentic woman, which is enough to show that she intends to draw a line with the Western world.

She's here, apparently to be a translator.

Li Changfeng is very satisfied with this arrangement, so there is no need to trouble him.

After the visit, Lawrence took a step forward and respectfully bent down to introduce himself.

"Your Majesty the Emperor Daqian, I am an envoy from the Western Holy See, with the goodwill of the Pope, I wish His Majesty the Great Emperor good health, and may the friendship between the Great Emperor and the Holy See be indestructible."

Jessica hurriedly translated.

After hearing this, Emperor Qianwu glanced at Li Changfeng, and said expressionlessly: "I didn't feel the Pope's kindness, but I felt a lot of malice, and as for friendship, there is no way to talk about it!" ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Qianwu's face became as cold as frost, and his voice suddenly raised a lot: "Since you represent the Holy See today, then I will ask you, why do you repeatedly attack my Ninth Emperor Son, Li Changfeng?" Is it true that my ironclad warships can't drive to the west, and my cannons can't blow up the walls of the west? Really when I don't have a temper?! ”

As soon as these words came out, the nerves of all the messengers tensed.

Lawrence lowered his waist and looked more respectful.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Daqian, the Pope asked them to preach, and they were eager to make meritorious contributions and want to develop His Highness into a believer before there would be a misunderstanding, and the Pope was very happy to learn that His Royal Highness the Nine Emperors had helped us eradicate such heresy."

Lawrence felt as uncomfortable as he ate a handful of flies as he said this.

But on the surface, he had to show a sincere appearance, as if what he said was the same as the truth.

The few imperial envoys behind him were confused.

They knew that the Holy See had suffered repeated setbacks in the Great Dry, and that Lawrence had come with the intention of mending relations, and they knew it.

But they didn't expect Lawrence to be so humble, he opened his mouth and said nonsense, saying that a few of the pinnacle figures in the Western world were heretics, and they didn't care how many people Li Changfeng killed, and even expressed their gratitude.

Is this still the Holy See?

It's just outrageous!

At this moment, the status of the Holy See in their hearts plummeted.

On the contrary, the image of Daqian has become even taller in their minds.
