C1903 Ferdinand who was overthinking (1/2)
Fei Dinanzijue suddenly started to miss home. He missed his home in Paris a lot, but he also missed that beautiful city in Paris. If he had to find a miracle that Ferdinand was most proud of, then his first choice would be the underground water system in Paris.
Where is the conscience of a city? Underground, out of sight, and Paris is the most important country in Europe for sewer construction.
No matter how bad this emperor's reputation was, at least in the construction of Paris, Ferdinand had a lot of respect for him.
It was because of the great transformation made by Napoleon III that Paris had become the cleanest city in Europe at that time.
All the streets were lined with flagstones, gas lamps hung in rows among the parasol trees, and the waters of the Seine became clearer and clearer in the center of the city. Bridges connected the two sides of the river, and carvings were scattered throughout the city.
No dirty water, garbage, stink... The noble district was as beautiful as a garden in the sky. Even the environment of the slums was comparable to the living quarters of the middle class of other countries.
Ferdinand was very clear that all of this was a symbol of the soft power of a nation. Something beautiful could attract the attention of the entire world, allowing Paris to have a kind of cultural leading effect.
Although Britain is British Empire, but in terms of European cultural power, only France, only Paris.
There were also practical benefits from the great city transformation. Ever since the city's environment had changed, there had not been a single plague in Paris in the past ten years. There was only the changing cold from typhoid fever.
who had received a high education finally understood the subtle relationship between hygiene and plague through Doctor Ba Ke's science. It turned out that the bacteriology, which was located at the edge of the field, could actually have such a huge effect.
To go against the first rule, intelligent people would naturally understand some things from the other party's words. Ferdinand suddenly thought back to the Empire's investigation of the Ryukyu's intelligence reports.
In the intelligence network, the basic city construction of the Ryukyu was not inferior to that of Paris. Although it was not as big as Paris, it was said that the whole city's sanitation was greater than that of Paris.
But today, the medical team led by Doctor Ba Ke shocked him even more. From the skills of these Chinese people, he knew that, at the very least, in the research of the bacteriology, the Chinese were no weaker than the Europeans.
This was a very worrisome matter, and it meant that Xiao Letian was already deliberately raising the country's soft power, and was using this influence to attract more attention, and to make use of this civilization's difference to affect the hearts of the people.
What a terrifying opponent! Just a casual miss from the medical team today already made Ferdinand feel a strong pressure, because he was a noble. He was naturally very sensitive to this kind of invisible power.
Suddenly, Fei Dinanzijue raised his hand and stopped Doctor Ba Ke from speaking. Dear Mr. Ba Ke, I have roughly heard what you have said. However, I have a question.
Ba Ke didn't know that this was a test but said proudly, ”Of course, of course I strictly followed such hygiene regulations. You must know that many regulations exist in the Chinese cities as laws!”
