Chapter 225 Return and unification!
Prime Minister Lin holds a very important position in the court, and his decision undoubtedly added fuel to the already boiling public opinion in Kyoto.
As soon as the news came out, the whole of Kyoto was in an uproar.
There was a lot of discussion in the streets, alleys, teahouses and taverns.
People were whispering to each other, their faces full of confusion and curiosity. They really didn't understand why these big shots who usually called the shots in Kyoto would suddenly go to such a remote place like Danzhou.
In their eyes, Danzhou is just a relatively backward place far away from the prosperity of Kyoto. What on earth can attract these bigwigs to visit?
At this moment, at Danzhou Port, the sea breeze is blowing gently and the sun is shining on the sea surface.
The top leaders of the entire Qing Kingdom gathered together, and the scene was quite spectacular.
Empress Li Yunrui stood at the front. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and wore a phoenix crown on her head. Her eyes were filled with majesty and curiosity.
Chen Pingping, who was sitting in a wheelchair beside him, had a deep look in his eyes, as if he was pondering the deeper meaning behind what was about to happen.
Minister of Revenue Fan Jian looked calm, with his hands behind his back, while Lin Ruofu stood straight with a solemn expression. Behind them were a group of officials and attendants, all of whom were waiting quietly.
As everyone was eagerly waiting, a huge black shadow gradually appeared on the sea level, and the steel warship slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
The steel body of the warship shone with a cold and hard luster in the sun. The towering masts, huge hull and the unprecedented complex structures on the hull all exuded an atmosphere that transcended this era.
The appearance of the warship completely changed Li Yunrui and others' views of the world. They widened their eyes, their hearts full of shock and confusion. The scene before them was far beyond their imagination.
Then, the warship slowly approached, its hull cutting through the water, making a low sound of breaking waves.
After the warship docked, Su Wenyi and the remaining temple messengers officially landed.
Su Wenyi stood tall and straight, walked with firm steps, his eyes revealing confidence and determination.
He walked up to Li Yunrui, bowed respectfully, then stood up and told Li Yunrui with a firm look: "From today on, I will lead Qing Kingdom to carry out an industrial revolution!
This will completely change the face of Qing and lead it to an unprecedented path of prosperity."
Li Yunrui looked at Su Wenyi, a hint of thought flashed across his eyes, and then he decisively agreed.
She knew very well that in front of this mysterious and powerful figure, she was just a tool to follow the trend.
She was also curious about what kind of changes this so-called industrial revolution would bring to Qing Kingdom.
In the next one or two months, the whole Danzhou was like a huge construction site, full of vitality and vigor everywhere, and began to be transformed on a large scale.
The sound of hammers hitting and the roar of machines running are intertwined and endless.
In just over a month, the ancient town of Danzhou has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Traditional wooden buildings were partially demolished and replaced by brick or steel-framed factories.
The road was widened and paved with smooth stone slabs to facilitate the travel of various vehicles.
The dock was also expanded and large lifting equipment was installed to handle more cargo.
Danzhou was gradually transformed from a quiet town into a semi-industrial city with chimneys everywhere and the sound of machines echoing in the air, becoming a unique and hopeful new scene in the land of Qing.
However, things have not ended yet. Su Wenyi knows very well that changing Danzhou alone will not change the world. Danzhou is just the beginning of his grand plan, a test field, and his eyes have long been set on a wider world.
Therefore, after Su Wenyi completed the transformation of Danzhou, he immediately decided to go to Northern Qi.
This time, he did not choose to take the warship that demonstrated his powerful military power, but took a car.
The car was one of the achievements of his industrial revolution in Danzhou. Its black body reflected a metallic luster in the sun, and its four wheels were solid and stable.
The car engine made a low roar when it started, as if it was a steel behemoth ready to go.
Su Wenyi sat in the car, looking firmly in the direction of Northern Qi. He knew that Northern Qi was an indispensable part of his plan.
In addition, Su Wenyi also issued an order to build a railway directly to Danzhou and connect to the border.
As soon as this order was issued, all the engineering personnel in Qing State became busy.
Starting in Danzhou, surveyors brought tools to mark the route in the wilderness, and workers began digging foundations and moving sleepers.
The railway will extend from Danzhou like a giant python, crossing mountains and rivers and finally reaching the border.
This railway is not only a major transportation route, but also an important link for Su Wenyi to spread the achievements of the Industrial Revolution, connect countries, and thus change the entire world.
Half a month later, Su Wenyi and Cangkong sped all the way. The car they were riding in was like a black lightning, whizzing across the land of Northern Qi, successfully bringing a little shock to Northern Qi.
The car exuded a cold and hard metallic luster, and the roar of its engine broke the tranquility of Northern Qi in the past, attracting the attention of passers-by, their eyes full of surprise and confusion.
Su Wenyi and Cangqiong went straight to the Northern Qi Imperial Palace.
The Northern Qi imperial palace was solemn and dignified, but it was also filled with a tense atmosphere due to the arrival of these two uninvited guests.
Su Wenyi found Zhan Doudou and confronted her directly without any beating around the bush.
Su Wenyi looked at Zhan Doudou firmly and said calmly: “Your Majesty, the world today needs change.
I believe that we should abolish the imperial system and from today on we should govern the country in the way of a president and a prime minister.
And we will adopt a rotation system, with you and Li Yunrui taking turns to serve."
After that, he described the current situation of Danzhou in detail, and talked about the industrial revolution that took place in Danzhou, the numerous factories, advanced machinery and the brand new appearance of the city.
Zhan Doudou was shocked after hearing this. Her eyes widened and the scene described by Su Wenyi kept appearing in her mind.
She knew very well that this was a huge change, a change beyond her previous understanding.
But thinking of what Su Wenyi had done, the powerful strength he had shown, and the new things he had brought, Zhan Doudou knew that this man seemed to have the ability to change the world. After a brief thought, she finally chose to agree.
With Zhan Doudou's promise, a series of changes quickly unfolded on this land.
