"Oh my God, this is a miracle."

In front of the window of the Prussian embassy, the moment Qingzhou City was instantly lit up by street lamps, the Prussian ambassador to Qingzhou, Bossi, let out an exclamation.

For months, workers were busy working along the streets of Qingzhou, erecting poles with glass covers on their heads, burying the bottom surface into the ground, and then burying rubber-wrapped threads in the ground to connect the poles one by one.

Although I am very interested in the ongoing construction, I can't get it from the workers or the officials. It wasn't until now that they finally understood that this was the proof of electric lighting.

"It's incredible, the level of science and technology in Dayu is not comparable to any European country, the British and the French are a bunch of fools, they have made stupid mistakes, and it is simply suicide to confront such an industrial power in Asia."

Beside Bossi stood a golden-haired noblewoman, Lilia, the wife of Bossi, who remained here with her husband after the Prussian embassy was officially opened, along with his two sons.

"So they suffered a crushing defeat in Dengzhou, which is really happy."

Persian held a transparent glass in his hand, an industrial product produced in Qingzhou, and before coming to Dayu, he thought he would live a hard life, but the truth is that he is much more comfortable now than in Prussia.

Feeling the convenience brought by industry to the life of Dayu, he almost fell in love with this place.

Lilia raised her glass and touched it with her husband, the red wine in the glass swelling, she looked at the candle on the table with some resentment and said, "I wish we could have a dinner under the lamp." ”

"Believe me, it won't be too long, now these things have been proven to be street lights, which means that the official power supply in Qingzhou City, soon, the people here, including us, will enjoy the convenience brought by electricity, the only pity is that Dayu has always refused to give us the top technology in the electricity, including steam locomotives." Bossi lamented.

"I think we should be satisfied, at least His Majesty the Emperor has agreed to study abroad, and in two months, the first batch of eight hundred students will arrive." Lilia reassured.

He understands her husband's feelings, in fact, it is somewhat similar to what happened to Dayu ten years ago, and now Prussia is also not of high status in Europe and is oppressed by France.

Thanks to the intervention of the French, the German Confederation was divided for a long time and was never able to form a strong state.

"That's right, the hope of Prussia is in them." A glimmer of hope flashed in Bossi's eyes.

Remembering something, he continued: "By the way, tomorrow is the first day of the Spring Festival in the Great Yu Kingdom, I hope that you can take our children to the palace to meet the Empress of the Great Yu Kingdom, if you can maintain a personal friendship, it will be very beneficial to us, and I will also participate in the Great Dynasty Party to convey the greetings of the King of Prussia to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Chongqing Kingdom." “

"Of course." Lilia nodded slightly, "This is the meaning of the Ambassador's existence. “

In the Dutch embassy, only 200 meters away from Prussia, Rhodes was also watching the lights light up the country of Dayu, and after Claire was transferred back to the Netherlands, they were ordered to stay in the country of Dayu.

After the establishment of the Prussian Embassy, their Inquisition was officially renamed and the residence became the Dutch Embassy, and he became an ambassador.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Dayu officially informed us of the fact of the occupation of Malacca, and now the choke point of the Asian route is in the hands of Dayu, and they are acting quickly and decisively." A voice came from behind Rod.

According to the embassy regulations given by the Great Chongqing State, the embassy personnel are divided into three levels, namely ambassador, first minister and second minister, and each level of embassy personnel is responsible for non-hierarchical foreign affairs.

"I met Xiao Ming, the emperor of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, seven years ago, and I know the character of this emperor very well. Rod said sarcastically.

Parson gave a mocking look, "They did it themselves, but Rod, aren't you worried about our future relationship with the Great Yu Kingdom at all?" Don't forget, we have more colonies in Asia than the Spaniards, and will a male lion let the flesh of his mouth be taken by others? ”

"Of course not, we know from the time when Xiao Ming asked to garrison the city of Gelansha, but there is one thing, this emperor will endure because of interests, this is what we need, for example, now, they are in urgent need of rubber, and now only we can provide them with it."

After a pause, Rhodes frowned and said: "It's just that we in the Netherlands are too weak to fight the British and French in Europe in terms of population and land, and what I am really worried about is that the Dutch parliament will eventually be forced to turn to Britain or France because of the situation." ”

A flash of horror flashed in Parson's eyes, "This is a disaster for us. ”

"That's true, between losing our country or losing our colonies, we have to make a choice then." Rod's eyes flickered, "So I want to enjoy the friendly relations between the Netherlands and the Great Chongqing Kingdom." ”

His voice had just fallen.

Suddenly, an overwhelming cheer came from the Imperial City Avenue, and after the initial shock, the people of Qingzhou City finally understood what the emperor had surprised them tonight.

"Long live our emperor! Long live our emperor! ”

"Hooray!"

“……”

The cheers of the people overshadowed the layers and at the same time, a dense burst of fireworks rose from the palace and exploded in the air, lighting up the night sky.

The entire Qingzhou City suddenly fell into a sea of joy.

"I've been talking about electricity all this time, but I didn't expect it to be true, hey, you see the light in this glass cover is really not using oil."

Among the many streets, the Avenue of the Imperial City is the most lively, and after cheering, people gather around the street lamps to point and marvel at the magic of electricity.

"I don't know when we'll be able to use electricity." A common people looked forward to it.

"All this electricity has entered the city, and this matter will be soon." Another person replied: "If the house can be so bright, my eldest man can read at night easily." ”

The others laughed when they heard this, this is what most of them think, and the changes in the past 10 years have made them gradually agree with the principle of rejuvenating the country through science and education.

At the same time, the rise of beginners, middle schools, high schools, and universities has allowed poor children to really find a channel for growth, and the implementation of free education allows them not to worry about the cost.
