Chapter 58 Yujing

Entering the royal territory of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, it seemed that all bad luck and accidents were blocked out of the customs. The stable Silver Dragon crossed the stable Beijing-Shanghai line, and the cheap "inner cabin" made it impossible for him to see anything.

When I arrived, I could only look at the two people in front of me.

Lu Huaiyang sat there upright, with his back not even touching the cushions, closing his eyes and concentrating. Wen Yuan was eagerly absorbing knowledge from the book - he went out for a while and failed to keep up with the comics updates.

A comic book giggle.

"Ah, I really can't keep up with the fashions of young people."

There is one bad thing about Yangzhou - information exchange with Jinei is very slow. Only a few national publications such as Yingtian Daily in Yangzhou can catch up with news from Jinei in real time. Only they use Yuezhou in different time periods every day.

Foreign telegraph lines sent "emergency reports".

As the name suggests, it is to extract important information and send it to the other side of the ocean in an expedited manner. The Yingtian daily newspaper is a morning newspaper, and the Yangzhou side can receive the "urgent selection evening newspaper" of that morning newspaper. Most of the press releases can be retained and serialized.

For novels, only pre-scripted manuscripts can be sent, half of which are flown in a week in advance, and advertisements are in fixed slots.

This can only convey text, but not images. When it comes to comic books, it is even later, because the schedule of comic publications is sometimes tighter than that of newspapers, because the work of the cartoonist himself is uncontrollable. In Yangzhou

Distribution can no longer be called "publishing", it's just airlifting the combined issue.

In the entire empire, the only area under the jurisdiction of Lanfang Company that can keep pace with Kinei, specifically the three cities of Pontianak, Sin Chau and Java. Moreover, Lanfang keeps pace with Guangzhou Prefecture, not Yujing.

Shangluo remembered that he was indeed interested in following comics when he was a child. But after moving to Yangzhou, he could only read the combined issues, and gradually he became too lazy to read them. Now that he has moved back, he plans to try to read them again in two days.

.

[By the way, I actually have a question I've been wanting to ask you. The situation was urgent before and I didn't have time to ask it. 】

Seeing Lu Huaiyang taking a nap, Apollonia appeared.

"Do you have anything else to ask me? Can't you go check it out?"

[I can only look up information, but I can only ask local people about their concepts and cognitions. I want to ask, what does Yujing mean? What is the specific scope of Yujing? Because you guys, there is no such thing as 'Yujing' in the Ming Dynasty.

Administrative divisions, but many places are directly calculated according to Yujing. Is Yujing Nanjing? Or Yingtian?]

"Yujing refers to the Yujing super urban agglomeration, because the intelligence of the world capital requires more than one city to bear it. The specific scope is a large number of connected urban agglomerations radiating from Yingtianfu as the center, all the way to Songjiangfu on the seaside

They are all considered Jade Capital; as for Nanjing, this is a historical concept and is not used much now. Nowadays, Nanjing generally refers to Nanjing City, which is the city within the Nanjing city wall. After all, the imperial palace is not in Nanjing City."

[It turns out that the emperor does not live in Nanjing?]

"Have you forgotten that I said before that there is a 'Forbidden City Museum'? The old palace has been converted into the Palace Museum. It seems that when the capital was moved back, it was in disrepair, and there was ground subsidence, and all three halls had collapsed. The new palace was built in

At the southern foot of Purple Mountain, the 108-meter-high Ziwei Hall was later built on the top of Purple Mountain with reference to the Wanxiang Shrine in Luoyang."

[Yes, yes, that’s what I want to ask. That’s too exaggerated. Why do you want to build such a big wonder on the top of the mountain? 】

"Well, it's actually because of political reasons. I'm afraid it's hard to see it in public publications, but we all know it ourselves - the reason is that all buildings have regulations. Fengtian Hall is the highest-level building, and it is connected with Xumizuo.

It is 35 meters high in total. In theory, no other building can be higher than it. Although there are tall buildings such as Yueyang Tower and Yellow Crane Tower, they are not government-built buildings and are not in front of the imperial court. You can pretend you haven't seen them.

"But with the development of the times, Yingtian Mansion has become more and more expensive, and it is imperative to build skyscrapers. Wouldn't it be excessive if a skyscraper is taller than Fengtian Temple? So after the six ministries discussed it, it was agreed that the imperial court should build it first.

indivual

Big! So the 108-meter Ziwei Palace was built on the top of Purple Mountain, which is 449 meters above sea level. Including the Xumizuo, it is nearly 600 meters. Now no one can be taller than the imperial palace, and skyscrapers are only

It’s not considered over the limit.”

[This move is really high. Can I see it when I get off the car? 】

"You really can't see this. In fact, you can see it on the train, but it's an inner cabin and you can't see the outside at all. When you get to the station, you need to transfer inside the station. My home is in Nanjing. There are no trams in the city, only the subway.

, so we arrived at the door of my house. If we didn't take a detour, I remember that I couldn't see it. The surrounding buildings were very dense. But I was about to meet Dao Zu, so I had to go to Jinyiwei, so I could see it up close.

"

Shangluo took a sip of ice water. Although he didn't go to other places in the car, the ice machine he brought really made him praise it. When the Great Western Railway is completed in Rome, he won't mind sitting on this ship.

"Land cruise" all the way to Constantinople.

While he was talking, he suddenly felt a push coming from his back——

"We've arrived." Lu Huaiyang opened his eyes.

"Are you here? Are you at Yingtian?" After calculating the time, it seems that it is indeed time to arrive, "But aren't there any other stops in between?"

"Of course it won't stop. The Beijing-Shanghai main line runs directly from Songjiang to Yingtian, without stopping the whole way. Because the operating speed of 200 kilometers per hour with a steam engine is still too reluctant. Just accelerating so fast requires at least half

hours. If there are another stop in the middle, then the average

It's only over 100 kilometers per hour, which is no different from the normal speed. I heard that the Railway Bureau is studying the use of high-speed internal combustion engines with electric transmissions to achieve higher speeds. It is probably faster. Because they have figured out the marine internal combustion engines last year.

Just bring the submarine's internal combustion engine up."

"I said, Lu Qianhu, are we going to get into trouble if we run so fast?"

"Time waits for no one, and it is a good thing that so many Qi practitioners are willing to take risks and rush forward one after another. It is better than all the Qi practitioners sitting in the mountains cultivating immortality. We cultivate, but we live in the world and do not avoid it.

Long life and long sight, longevity is for long sight, to see the world well - Oh, by the way, speaking of this, did Captain Lin tell you about Lan Fang's lunar cannon? It is Lan Fang's nearest big gun

action."

"So you know that?"

"Of course we know that they have cut down all the mountains in Borneo. Who doesn't know? Moreover, the previous generation of the country actually came to the court to report. At that time, we only thought they were doing a feasibility study. As a result, this generation of the country has

After inheriting the title of Marquis of Yanping, he seems to be much more radical than the previous dynasties. Did he ask you to go to Nanyang? I heard that their plan did not go well, and they blew up a mountain two days ago."

"That's what he said."

Lu Huaiyang looked at the table and thought for a while: "I have a case on hand now. I am quite busy these days. You have to be busy with graduation in the past few months. After you are done, Jin Yiwei will have to go to their place to inspect

For a moment. If you want to go, come with us. It is virtuous to explore frontier areas, and we should help."
