Chapter 1190: The Shock of Master Barton
"Thirty million tons." Fu Changqing put down his chopsticks after eating a mouthful of vegetarian dishes: "The amount is not too much. We can prepare it for you. But it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Your world has suffered such a serious disaster." Grain plague, have you thought about importing some high-yield grain seeds from us?"
Fu Changqing said with a warm smile, a harmless smile appeared on the old man's face.
When Barton heard Fu Changqing's words, his heart moved slightly, but on the surface he remained calm, and simply said: "Importing grain seeds to change the method of grain farming is a big event. We still need to discuss it." to make a decision.”
Fu Changqing didn't say anything either, after all, this was the first contact between the two parties, and no one else would tell you everything. Confidentiality is a very dangerous behavior in diplomacy.
The first state banquet was regarded as a feast for the guests and the host, and the two parties could be regarded as testing each other.
Real in-depth communication will take some time. After the meal, Fu Changqing arranged for someone to send Barton and Feng Meier to the Diaoyutai Hotel for a check-in. He was accompanied by Qin Kuairen.
Diaoyutai Hotel is said to be a hotel, but not all rooms are in one building. In fact, there are many independent and private villas in Diaoyutai Hotel. A villa has an area of nearly 1,000 square meters on the upper and lower floors, and there are ten rooms.
This configuration is especially suitable for those dignitaries and wealthy businessmen who travel with a whole team and bodyguards. It would be a bit extravagant for Qin Kuairen and the three of them to live in such a villa.
But for the first foreign diplomacy, Fu Changqing still had to give the highest standard of reception.
Sitting in a red flag car, looking at the brightly lit Chang'an Avenue. Barton's heart was shocked. Illumination is the most common spell in the mage world.
Even apprentice mages can cast a few spheres of Illuminati at home throughout the night, making their house as bright as day. Instead of being like ordinary people, you can only light dim candles for lighting at night.
So what if it is a human noble? At night, they can only light twenty or thirty candles at a time on a large candle hanging table to increase the brightness of the lighting, but compared with the lighting skills of mages, there is a huge difference.
And at night, the streets of almost all mortal country cities (except for a few royal cities) are dark. Only the Immortal City and the surrounding satellite cities will set up street lights at night, and the hurricane lamps that are fueled by grease cast a warm yellow light on the streets.
But this is enough for the Immortal City to boast to the world: our city is the city that never sleeps!
The benefits of having lights at night are obvious. It allows pedestrians to walk better, and it also allows some small vendors to set up stalls along the street to do business at night. At the same time, because of the lights, even the crime rate will be reduced.
A well-lit city at night has a lower crime rate than a city with dimly lit nights. Most crime tends to happen in those dark alleys.
But compared to the real never-sleep city that the Immortal City boasted, it was nothing compared to the real never-sleep city that I saw now.
The brightness that the windproof lamp can bring at night is limited, it can only provide light for a radius of three meters in diameter, and the light attenuates severely when it is farther away.
And on this Chang'an Avenue, the bright lights on each lamp post illuminated all the darkness. The whole street seemed like daytime, and there was no trace of night at all.
Chang'an Avenue was full of pedestrians and tourists, and Barton didn't see any ragged people here. Everyone wears clean and decent clothes, and the worst look like little landlords in their own world.
Barton rubbed his eyes, suspecting that what he saw was a mirage-like illusion. If Barton remained calm, then Von Meer was completely shocked by the sight in front of him.
He stared wide-eyed and looked at the brightly lit street outside. If it wasn't because he still had some reason to know that he couldn't show his timidity in another world, Feng Meier would have jumped up and shouted: This is not magic!
The red flag car drove steadily all the way to the Diaoyutai Hotel. After Barton and Feng Meier had settled down and all the foreign affairs personnel left the small villa, Feng Meier finally couldn't suppress his inner thoughts. He roared frantically: "It's not magic! There's no magic in this world!"
For Feng Meier, everything he saw today was beyond all his common sense.
"Brother! This world of yours is too crazy. How did they do it? Cover the entire street with lighting techniques, no! Cover the entire city, all tall buildings! All houses, all blooming with their own brilliance in the night. I My God! How many legendary mages are needed to do this? Do we need twenty Bartons..."
touch~
Before Feng Meier could finish speaking, Master Barton's magician's hand slapped him away.
"Quack! You're a fifth-order mage anyway, don't act like you haven't seen the market before! How decent! Are all the disciples taught by Carter so blind!"
Master Barton reprimanded Feng Meier. Feng Meier was sent flying far away, so she could only whisper secretly: "Didn't you just startled?"
Of course, you can only say this in a low voice, and dare not say it loudly, otherwise you don't know how the irritable Master Barton will deal with him.
The single-family villa of Diaoyutai Hotel is exquisitely and luxuriously decorated, but Barton is not in the mood to look at these things and all kinds of new gadgets here. He needs to think about what's next.
And Qin Kuiren, who was accompanying him, couldn't help asking Master Patton after putting away the luggage of Master Patton and Feng Meier: "Master Patton, why didn't you agree to the high-yield grain seeds and agricultural assistance plan proposed by the leader just now?" Come down. Our country has quite high agricultural technology, if we fully support the wizarding world, the wizarding world will soon be able to get rid of the food crisis!"
Master Patton glanced at Qin Kuairen, and said in a low voice: "It's ridiculous, there is no long-term vision."
"Huh?" Qin Kuairen didn't know what Master Barton meant by not having a long-term vision.
Master Barton waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, let's go to bed early. Tell that leader Fu Changqing tomorrow, let's go around the city."
"Okay." Qin Kuairen nodded.
Master Button then said: "Xiao Qin, take us around tomorrow."
"No problem, I am familiar with the bustling Wangfujing, Qianmen Street, and the World Trade Center. If you want to see the sights, I can take you to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall." Qin Kuairen did not refuse this task.
Feng Meier's eyes lit up when he heard that he could go out to play. After all, it was his first time to travel to another world.
But Barton said coldly: "Who told you to take us to those places. You will take us to the poorest place in the city tomorrow!"
