Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 881 The misunderstanding is even bigger (ten more)

"You guys must have a smooth journey to the capital this time." Aunt Li sent Li Jinde aboard at the port.

"The route to the capital is along the coast, so it's impossible for something to happen. Mother, don't worry." Li Jinde said.

"Bah, bah, don't say such unlucky things." Aunt Li said quickly.

"Thank you for your hospitality these days, and your clothes will be returned to you when I return." Selina came over to say goodbye to Aunt Li.

Aunt Li looked at Selina with complicated eyes, especially her son's jade pendant Selina was hanging around her waist, which made her hard to mind.

After hesitating for a long time, Aunt Li still handed a red wooden box to Selina: "You finally learned how to use chopsticks in our house, so we are destined. You can accept this gift."

Selina was flattered, she ate and drank at Li Jinde's house for a few days, and was able to receive a gift from his mother before she left?

She opened the wooden box and found a jade bracelet wrapped in silk.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Li Jinde whispered to Aunt Li.

This jade bracelet is her favorite accessory.

"Don't think that the old lady didn't see the jade pendant on her waist these two days. It's clearly yours. My useless son went to the West and he's really good at it. He can chase after the other party even if he can't understand what you say. Although I think she can't understand the language, and she is a noble lady who can't do housework, so she will have a headache in the future, but her son has done this, can I, as a mother, still beat mandarin ducks? I will take care of Tian Erniu , you have to remember, no matter where you marry a woman, as long as your descendants have the same surname as our Han people, they are our Han people. Do you understand?" Aunt Li said.

"I'm not...I didn't..." Li Jinde said anxiously.

"Okay, the boat is about to leave, you get on the boat! I have given away all the jade bracelets of my mother, and there is absolutely no reason to take them back. If my mother still can't hold her grandson after a year, I will destroy you, a useless wretch!" Mrs. Li Drive Li Jinde onto the boat.

"Mother, I'll explain it to you when I come back from the capital." Seeing that the misunderstanding was serious and the battleship Crown Prince was about to set sail, Li Jinde could only yell.

"Your mother is really a good person. Does this thing have any special meaning?" Selina took out the emerald green jade bracelet and looked at it in the sun. It became more crystal clear, as if it was full of spring.

"It doesn't mean anything to her, it's just an ordinary gift." Li Jinde said to the sailor in charge of the translation.

"Shopkeeper, translating like this would violate my conscience." The sailor in charge of the translation obviously already knew a lot about the Chinese culture.

"I'll give you an extra two cents of silver and two wages, and you will convey it as I said." Li Jinde said.

"Yes." The sailor didn't care about his conscience when he heard about processing money.

"However, this is the second gift I received when I came to the East. I still need to treasure it well. It may become a precious memory when I return to Europe." Selina put the jade bracelet back into the wooden box.

Back to Europe.Li Jinde sighed secretly, he spent a year traveling back and forth to Europe, and I am afraid that he may not be able to go to Europe again in his life.After going to the capital this time, the two may never have the chance to meet again.

Princess Sophia is at the stern of the battleship Crown Prince, overlooking the gradually smaller Xiamen Bay Lighthouse.Xiamen Bay is just a stopover on her trip, but she has noticed three special places here.

Telegraphs, lighthouses and street lamps that can communicate with people thousands of miles away, and delicious food.

It seems that there is another place, that is Hanfu.

Princess Sophia noticed that Selina had changed into Hanfu in the village, and she wanted to change out of the cumbersome clothes.

"Sir Greenville, I want to buy a few sets of Hanfu when I arrive in the capital." Princess Sophia said to Sir Greenville.

The royal mission is topped by Princess Sophia, but Sir Greenville is actually in charge.

"Your Highness, I have no objection to your proposal, but you can change your clothes only after we meet the master of the Chinese Empire," Sir Greenville said.

"I see." Princess Sofia said.

"The distant oriental Huaxia, like their people, is reserved and hidden. On the surface, their ports are similar to ours, and the small houses appear to be even simpler. In fact, their gardens are very exquisite, and there are many secrets hidden in the dark. Unknown technology will be revealed at night!" Sir Greenville's experience in Xiamen Bay made him admire Dongfang Huaxia to the extreme.

If Chu Yun heard what he said, he would be so angry that he would wrap the wire around his neck.

It's not that Chu Yun doesn't want to show off the power of the industry, but that wires are an unknown existence hanging on utility poles.As for showing your skills at night... who would turn on lighthouses and street lights in broad daylight? !

"We know too little about this land. We only pay attention to North America and India. Those weak and backward places can't compare with this place." Princess Sophia said.

"Yes, I suggest that some local books and goods should be collected and transported back to Europe together to learn the advanced technology here." Sir Greenville said.

"Approved." Princess Sofia said.

"I don't know what kind of shock Mr. Li said about China's most advanced capital city will bring us?" Princess Sophia and Sir Greenville looked at the coastline on the southeast coast.

This place is really too vast. Ever since they entered the South Seas, they have been sailing in the hinterland of China.Moreover, this place is different from the colonies in America and Africa. Although it has a vast territory, it has a dense population, which is a considerable population benefit.

On the calm and vast Bohai Sea, the huge steam ship "Dongfang" is laying submarine cables, and several chimneys are emitting billowing black smoke.The submarine cable from Edo Castle to Beijing is about to be laid, which means that Edo Castle can be included in China's instant messaging system.

Secretary of the Navy Nelson stared nervously at the sinking cable, fearing that the cable would break at the final stage and the great project would be wasted.

"It's only a few tens of nautical miles away!" The crew observing the direction said excitedly.

As long as they connect the submarine cable to Tianjin Wei's telegraph station, they will be able to connect to the capital.This is the longest section of submarine cable laying carried out by the Kyushu Army Navy.The submarine cable along the southeast coast is not continuous like this cross-sea cable, but first connected from Hangzhou to Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Xiamen, and Guangzhou.

The fleet of the British Royal Envoy, which Nelson didn't know yet, bypassed the Shandong Peninsula and sailed into the Bohai Sea.

　Thanks to the happy Totoro and all the book friends.
