In the Trianon Palace, a long time had passed since the assassination of Louis XV.
At this moment, in the room of Louis XV, a stove bought from Longyan at a great price was rising.
This kind of thing is something that every household in Longyan has.
But in France, such an ordinary stove sold for a sky-high price.
Many businessmen in Longyan have made a lot of money relying on this kind of stove.
Although France is still a backward autocratic monarchy, due to the influence of the Industrial Revolution, many factories have been built, and a large number of scientific and technological talents have still emerged.
Otherwise, France would not be so powerful.
However, the backward autocratic monarchy system is destined to put this French empire on the path of decline.
This is inevitable decline.
However, even so, France's industry is still very developed.
It is not too difficult for them to make a similar dragon flame stove.
However, the stoves they made could never compare with Long Yan's.
I don’t know why, but the stoves they made either didn’t keep warm or leaked smoke everywhere, making them completely unusable.
And not only that, the carbon they use to burn in the furnace needs to be purchased from Long Yan.
Because of the special nature of the stove, and the fact that Long Yan's charcoal burns out white smoke, it doesn't have the pungent smell of their charcoal, so it endured the love of Louis XV.
Even though the price of Longyan's carbon was exaggeratedly high, Louis XV still spent a lot of money to purchase charcoal and stoves from Longyan every year.
The maid serving Louis XV felt that the temperature in the room had dropped a bit, so she added a few pieces of expensive coal into the stove.
Let the flames burn brighter.
Feeling the slowly rising temperature, she felt the heat even if she was wearing a thin layer of gauze clothing.
Louis XV stretched out comfortably and sighed: "Although Long Yan is hateful, the things they made are really good."
At that time, Louis XV did not notice the slums at all.
Those poor people were desperately trying to make their clothes thicker.
At least it seems so.
It's just that under layers of coarse cloth, they lived on either shredded cotton wool, dead grass, or even some unknown things.
But no matter how thickly they were wrapped in such clothes, they didn't feel the slightest bit of warmth.
It's been extremely cold in Europe this year.
These poor people numbly entered the factory.
Fortunately, I was able to enter a textile machine factory, and the operation of textile machines relied on steam engines.
The water vapor there is thick, and even though it is a cold winter, the textile machine factory is exceptionally warm.
Of course, this kind of job is not available to everyone.
As for other poor people, there are always very few factories that they can enter.
France is an absolute monarchy, and the construction of any factory requires the approval of Louis XV.
However, Louis XV had ignored the government for a long time, and many factory buildings were only half-completed. Without Louis XV's approval, they were forced to stop.
There are many more refugees on the streets of France in winter.
Many people also froze to death.
But no one cared about all this, and they were even so cold as to think it was normal.
