Chapter 29 A Day Trip to London

Newbie + new book, roll around and ask for votes~~!

------------------------------------------

After successfully converting gold into bank numbers, Qin Ge decided to take Qing'er to visit London.

First, I visited the Tower Bridge in London and walked on the street (The Tower Bridge in London opened on June 30, 1894 and is still under construction at this time), Qin Ge introduced to Qing'er: "This bridge started to be built two years ago. Look at those two towers, do you feel that it is very different from ordinary bridges?"

"It's very different from ordinary bridges, but foreign-made buildings probably look like this!" Qing'er felt that the bridge was nothing strange.

"Uh... Then go to the next place, I guarantee you will like it!" Qin Ge said.

Qin Ge took Qing'er to the British Parliament Hall on the banks of the Thames. Qing'er saw the Big Ben at a glance and shouted: "Tianwu, this foreign bell is so big!"

"This is called Big Ben." Qin Ge used to calling Big Ben Big Ben when he was studying English in elementary school.

"Big Ben? Hahaha, this name is really... so funny! Hahaha... Tianwu, why did this British man give such a name?" Qing'er couldn't help laughing when she heard this name.

"This 'Big Ben' is my personal translation. Its English is called 'BigBen'. The correct translation should be 'Big Ben'. It was originally a huge profit book, but I like to call it Big Ben. Although I call it Big Ben, it is not stupid at all. Its timing is very accurate. This bell tower was built in 1837 and is almost one hundred meters high. Later, in 1859, these four big bells were inlaid." Qin Ge introduced that the big bell was still operating normally before he traveled through time, but the name was changed to Elizabeth Tower.

"What, it's actually a hundred meters!" Qing'er exclaimed. The distance was relatively far at this time, so she could not feel the height of Big Ben.

"Is it very high? It's only one hundred meters!" Qin Ge said disapprovingly.

"Even China does not have more than one hundred meters of construction!" Qing'er said.

There are more buildings over 100 meters in China. Which houses built on the plateau have an altitude of less than 2,000 meters? In terms of altitude, Big Ben is only 100 meters.

"In the future, build one for you! The name will be the Queen's Tower!" Qin Ge said.

"Building one will cost a lot of money, right? Let's forget it."

Qin Ge saw that Qing'er liked it very much, and made up his mind to ship a taller and larger one in the capital. As for the money, it would only cost tens of thousands of pounds to build such a tower. The maintenance fee for a large dreadnought ship in one year is this. Moreover, is Qin Ge short of money?

"Then let's go, I'll take you to the next place to see." Qin Ge said.

Qing'er walked along the way and found that the streets of London were very clean. Pedestrians on the road consciously threw the garbage into the garbage bins on the street. There were places specially designed for horses to be convenient. Seeing these, Qing'er couldn't help but think of the situation in China, which was dirty and messy! Even in Beijing, the same was true.

Qing'er said to Qin Ge: "Tianwu, look at how tidy the roads of foreigners are. Even the capital in China is messy."

"What? How about you, when I become the emperor in the future, I will set up an urban management team for you and let you take charge of this?" Qin Ge said with a smile.

"Urban Management Team? What is this? What do you do?" Qing'er heard the word "Urban Management" for the first time.

"It's a person who specializes in maintaining urban cleanliness." Qin Ge said.

"Oh~ I just sweep the streets, what! Tianwu! You actually asked me to sweep the streets!?"

"Hey, Qing'er, you misunderstood me. This is not the same as scanning the streets. Urban management specializes in management. The main job is to patrol and see where people set up stalls randomly. If you find them, you will drive them away." Qin Ge quickly explained.

"I don't care about this!" Qing'er said.

"In fact, as long as education is popularized and the people have this awareness, the city can be kept clean." Qin Ge sighed in his heart. Before he traveled through time, China could not fully popularize education. Poor? Joke! If you really want to find out corrupt officials across the country, the confiscated embezzlement funds would be much more than the education funds allocated by the state. Alas, by the 1898, the law must be strict, and heavy punishments should be used in troubled times, and the bad habits in the Chinese officialdom should be changed as much as possible!

The mainland population must also be controlled well. I think after the great man distributed the land to farmers, the population growth will be rapid. When the land belongs to the farmers, the surplus grain will be more, and when there are more surplus grains, there will be more children. Generally, the family will give birth to 5 or 6 people, and the population growth rate can catch up with the "Harmony Number".

If the operation is done well, the Philippines should be able to be obtained. Mongolia would not be divided, and even East and West Siberia could be spit out. The mainland's population should be controlled within 800 million. For example, Taiwan and the Philippines should implement capitalism, and the mainland's semi-capitalism, that is, socialism, can form complementarity, and the benefits have been confirmed many times.

But it seems too early to think about this now. Now there is a shortage of talents, but where should I find this talent?

Qin Ge took Qing'er to Hyde Park mainly to let Qing'er see the Crystal Palace, but Qin Ge had never seen the original Crystal Palace.

The original Crystal Palace was burned down by a fire in late 1936. After only one night, the exhibition hall of the First World Expo became a pile of twisted metal and melted glass.

The transparent buildings in this era undoubtedly surprised Qing'er. This kind of thing is so attractive to girls. Qing'er looked at the Crystal Palace and couldn't help but say, "It's so beautiful. If only our house could be like this, how beautiful!"

Qin Ge originally wanted to build one, but then he thought that this house could not be built, and it was highly transparent, so that everyone outside could see everything they did in the house.

Qin Ge leaned into Qing'er's ear and whispered: "Qing'er, if such a house is built, then what, wouldn't we be seen by others when we are like that?"

Qin Ge said something, Qing'er blushed, right? This house is transparent. If someone sees her and Tianwu, he will be so embarrassed!

Qing'er blushed and punched Qin Ge a few times in the chest with her pink fist, saying, "Tianwu, you are dead!"

Qin Ge hugged Qing'er and patted Qing'er's beautiful back. Qing'er looked up at Qin Ge. Qin Ge kissed Qing'er's little mouth with a flash, while Li Wei and others turned around.

Qin Ge said: "Okay, let's go in and take a look."

The Crystal Palace also houses exhibits from the World Expo that year, but these things are already extremely behind at this time. Qin Ge, a time traveler, looked down upon. Qin Ge introduced: "This is an important symbol of the European Industrial Revolution era. It is the exhibition hall of the First World Industrial Expo (World Expo). This Crystal Palace was specially designed for the expo. It started construction in 1849, and the expo was held in 1851. It was opened to the public after 1854, otherwise we would not be able to enter."

Xiao Qiming (one of Qin Ge's guards) listened to Qin Ge's explanation and couldn't help but say, "Young Master knows so much!"

After hearing Xiao Qiming's words, Qing'er asked Qin Ge curiously: "Tianwu, when did you know so many foreign things? I have been with you since I was a child, and I have never seen you learn the history of foreigners!"

"Oh no! Forgot this!" Qin Ge thought to himself. But he soon thought of how to explain it. He said: "I specifically contacted the British minister to know about this when I was in Hawaii."
