”Master …” What was that? ”Could it be that my eyes have gone blurry …”
The Zhiyuan Warship had already reached the satellite city of London, and the little town of Baselden in the southwest. The fleet was not far from the Tower Bridge by now.
It was a light industrial town that had just started. As the Thames River was very close to the London City, it attracted many London residents to come and live there. Of course, many merchants also came to build their own factories.
Xiao Letian and Zai Chun looked at the chimneys of the tens of thousands of people in the small town. There were more than 20 of them in the small town. It was spraying out thick black smoke nonstop.
Of course, there were also countless citizens who had come to watch the fun. These were blue-collar workers who could not bear the high prices of the housing in the city. From their greasy and dirty work clothes, one could tell the bitterness of their lives.
The British Empire was indeed the strongest country in the world, but there were also poor people around. The skirts of the housewives were patched up, and the only thing stronger than other countries was that the British had already solved their hunger problem, so the appearance of extreme hunger did not exist.
Right here, Zai Chun astonishedly discovered, he should have clearly been the focus of everyone's eyes, right? But at this moment, the people on both sides of the river were being distracted by something new.
At this moment, many people in Britain had forgotten to cheer as they stared at the Chinese paintings on the walls of the tall factories along the river.
Zai Chun also saw it, he could not believe his own eyes, and desperately rubbed his hands together, ”Landscape painting? The River Elementary Snow Diagram? Are my eyes playing tricks on me … ”
”No, you are not seeing things. This is the gift I gave the Europeans. I want them to see what China looks like with their own eyes …”
”And this is a great weapon to calm the chaos in London right now!”
Zai Chun didn't want to know Master's entire plan. No matter how curious Zai Chun was, he didn't dare to ask what kind of mission Lei Ao and Pierre's vanguard unit had taken to leave.
But then, the series of Eastern Hua Clan reports allowed Zai Chun to gradually understand a bit of what was going on, and it turned out that he was the first one to advertise!
However, he would never have thought that there would be such a way to advertise it. He looked at his master in confusion, his eyes filled with desire.
Xiao Letian knew that he could no longer hide anything from him, so he decided to talk through the whole plan.
”These landscape paintings cost me 1.2 million taels of silver. Of these, the cost of purchasing Jiangnan silk is 750 thousand taels while the rest are just labor costs …”
”Over a thousand textile women took a month to sew these large and small curtains. There were over 1240 pieces of canvas stitched together …
”What's even more expensive is the painter's wages. I have hired more than 600 people in Jiangnan who are experts in the art of ink painting, and it took me a full three months to finish these Famous Painting's imitation …
”I don't dare to find famous painters. They are just ordinary painters. Anyway, they are meant for Europeans to see. As long as the visual impact is reached, time is of the essence …”
”What? You think this is making a big deal out of nothing? No, no, no... ”You misunderstood, and it's not just a matter of making a fuss. The purpose of these ink and water paintings is not just to help the British restore order to chaos …”
”Cultural exhibitions are our core purpose. These are reusable posters. After a week of showing in London, they can be sent to Birmingham, Liverpool, Edinburgh... ”Wait until the English cities open their eyes!”
