Chapter 308 Visiting the Royal Gardens
After Shen Ruochu introduced himself, the other party also briefly said his name and address.
Shen Ruochu was a little surprised, “You are from Jiangcheng too?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone else looked at the girl.
The girl was stunned, looking puzzled, until she saw He Zheyan. She felt that... he seemed a little familiar.
Although He Zheyan and the girl were not from the same school, he was also a top student and often participated in various competitions. In addition, the school intentionally promoted him. Therefore, not only Huiya School knew his background, but students from other schools also knew of his existence to some extent.
The girls didn't recognize him at first because He Nanzhou and the others didn't stay for long. They soon went to the cafeteria of Jingcheng University and tried the food there.
Emperor Jingxuan looked at the university in front of him and compared it with the Imperial College in the capital. Hmm...
The environment and the like were secondary; it was the atmosphere that had the strongest impact on him.
The overall atmosphere of Jingcheng University is full of vigor and vitality. Being in it is like being in a place full of hope. As for the Imperial College, although there are many young students, there are also many old and pedantic students. Once you enter, you will feel solemn and dignified, as well as a sense of dusk.
The contrast is indeed obvious.
If it were him, he would definitely prefer to study in a place full of hope, which would make him more energetic.
Emperor Jingxuan sighed silently. If he wanted to change all this, he would have a long way to go.
As I was sighing in my heart, I heard Chao Chao in the sky ask, "Are we going to the Forbidden City tomorrow?"
Jian Yunsang shook his head. "Let's go to the Summer Palace and Yuanmingyuan tomorrow. These two attractions are very close to Jingcheng University."
The hotel they booked is nearby, so they will rest here tonight. After visiting the Summer Palace and the Old Summer Palace tomorrow, they will move to a hotel closer to the Forbidden City.
Chao Chao was puzzled, "Yuanmingyuan? Summer Palace? What is that place?"
"They are the former royal gardens."
Emperor Jingxuan stood up suddenly and asked, "Where? Where?"
Royal Gardens? ?
You guys are going to visit the Royal Gardens? Are you kidding me?
Other court officials were also surprised. In fact, the royal gardens of Daqi would occasionally be open to some common people during major festivals or when the country was celebrating.
But that was only occasionally, for the sake of sharing fun with the people, and it was very, very rare, and the people had all been screened through layers to make sure there were no problems.
But judging from what Jian Yunsang and the others said, it is obvious that anyone can enter and exit the Old Summer Palace at any time. This is outrageous.
The Imperial Tutor rubbed his forehead and sighed, "In later generations, even the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang can be used as a tourist attraction. This, this royal garden is not uncommon. After all, we are open once a year. It's not the imperial palace. Stay calm."
Think about it, everyone, you have seen so much in the world, but you are still so startled. It is really disgraceful.
But Emperor Jingxuan inexplicably had a bad premonition. The words of the Grand Tutor, "It's not the imperial palace," made him feel a little uneasy for some reason.
The people of Daqi were very much looking forward to the royal gardens. They had no chance to go there in Daqi, but they could follow Chaochao to see the royal gardens of later generations, which could be considered an opportunity to broaden their horizons, right?
The next morning, the group went directly to the Summer Palace.
The Summer Palace is very large, with beautiful scenery and clear lake water, and the people are amazed by it.
Originally, they thought it would be a very enjoyable experience to follow Chao Chao to visit such a beautiful royal garden. However, as the tour guide introduced, the faces of the civil and military officials and the people of the Da Qi Dynasty gradually changed, from smiling faces at the beginning to solemnity and grief.
When we arrived at the Summer Palace, saw the burned ruins, heard about the invasions by so many countries, and learned that the animal heads had not yet been found, no one felt relieved.
Not to mention, when talking about that period of history, one cannot avoid mentioning the shame of being invaded during those years and the fact that those who lag behind will be beaten.
Emperor Jingxuan's fist clenched and unclenched, loosened and clenched again.
The ministers in the court had red eyes and blue faces. Some impulsive generals were already shouting that they wanted to kill all those bastards right now.
They finally understood why later generations developed science and technology so vigorously.
They finally understood what Miss Jane meant when she mentioned that other countries had opened their doors with the most advanced weapons.
So that's how it is.
The Grand Tutor wiped away his tears and said, "It is indeed not easy for the future generations to reach this point today. Miss Jian is right, it was built with the blood of countless people."
Qu Wende gnashed his teeth and said, "Those bastards, Your Majesty, the R country mentioned in the sky is the Japanese pirates. We are right to lift the sea ban. Not only should we open the sea, but we should also train the navy and destroy them all."
"Yes!" An official immediately echoed, his voice fierce, "As for those countries overseas, we must let them see the might of our Great Qi."
"Isn't it just about developing technology? They used cannons to open our borders, so why can't we?"
"Fuck him!"
The crowd was excited and the whole hall was noisy.
Qu Wende took the opportunity to step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the soldiers of later generations are all lions, invincible. Our Daqi cannot fall behind. I beg Your Majesty to improve the treatment of the soldiers, their clothes and food. No one can be left behind but these people who defend our country."
The Minister of Revenue Zhang Yulin was shocked. You are so damn insidious. You actually took the opportunity to ask for benefits.
He hurried forward and cried poor, "Your Majesty, money is needed everywhere now, especially the Ministry of Industry, for research and development of science and technology. We have invested so much money that we haven't even heard of it yet, so how can we get much out of it?"
Yu Kangsheng was stunned. No, you are trying to drag our Ministry of Industry into this again, right?
"Your Majesty, the Sky Curtain said that scientific research is a money-burning job. There is nothing we can do about it. We have already tried our best to save money."
Zhang Yulin: "What can I do? Money is needed everywhere nowadays, and I really can't afford it."
Qu Wende said, "Your Majesty, the soldiers in the Ministry of War really need to be paid better. At the very least, we also need an elite division with excellent weapons and equipment, right? We cannot save on this part of the money."
Never mind. He will arm one group first, and then there will be a second and a third group. Sooner or later, they will be like the soldiers of later generations.
He has been envious of the treatment of soldiers in later generations for a long time.
While the court was almost fighting over money, the common people were still looking at the sky curtain, listening to the explanations there in anger.
"These bastards only want to steal and rob the good things in our country. They are so shameless."
"Our Daqi is different now. If they dare to come again, I will join the army and beat them to death."
