Yunxi then called Li Bo and told him: "From now on, Chen Lijie will be transferred to my personal bodyguards."
Li Bo secretly glanced at Chen Lijie, said nothing, and just agreed.
After settling the matter, Yunxi no longer paid attention to him, but he could not just return to the carriage and could only continue riding to the next place.
This group of people quickly left the city and walked to the southwest of the city. Not long after, they saw black smoke coming from the sky not far away. It was very light at first, but the further they walked, the thicker the smoke seemed to be.
The sky was dyed black. If you smell the air carefully, you can still smell the sour smell.
But Yunxi's face became more and more happy. He even wanted to open his arms and embrace the black smoke.
These smogs are emitted from steel plants located near the Meishan Iron Mine in the southwest of Beijing. Since the first day they were opened, these steel plants have continued to emit black smoke into the air, polluting the air. If it were in the 21st century, this would
It must belong to the steel plant that will be shut down, even if you have more people; but in Yunxi's eyes at this time, these smokes are a symbol of national power. In the 19th century in history, it was accompanied by the increasingly dense smoke over London.
, Britain became the world's number one power, and countless steel produced from the factories that produced these smokes became warships, muskets, cannons or sections of rails, becoming part of Britain's maintenance of world hegemony.
Ministers have reported the pollution from the steel plant to him, but he has ignored them all. Even if he does not reform the civil service system and expand externally, he will never stop the steel plant. The steel plant and Gezhiyuan,
These are the two institutions he values most now.
After a while, Yunxi came to the gate of the courtyard of the steel factory. He had been notified by the guards a quarter of an hour in advance. The people wearing official uniforms of the ninth rank waiting at the door saw this drive and did not recognize where the emperor was, so they knelt down.
His Majesty said: "I have appointed Li Youbu, the ambassador of Meishan Iron and Steel Plant, to meet your Majesty. Long live your Majesty!" After saying this, he kowtowed nine times respectfully.
"Get up." Yunxi got off the horse, straightened his hat that was already a little crooked, and said.
When he stood up, Yunxi didn't talk nonsense: "Please lead me the way, I want to go in and have a look."
"Your Majesty," Li Yaobu was still excited to see the emperor, but he hurriedly said after hearing these words: "Although the weather is very cold now, due to the blast furnace, it is still very hot in the steel plant, no worse than in the dog days of summer.
,How can Your Majesty enter?"
"Your Majesty, since it is very hot inside the iron factory, Your Majesty should not go in and just listen to Ambassador Li's introduction outside." Li Bo came up and said.
"I know it's very hot inside the steel plant, but I must go in and take a look." Yunxi turned to Li Youbu and said, "I also went in and took a look four years ago when I first set up the steel plant. Don't worry.
I can't bear it. Just lead the way."
Li Youbu couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Yunxi, then immediately lowered his head, paused and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." After hearing what he said, several guards did not dare to persuade him.
Li Yaobu led everyone to a room at the entrance of the workshop, turned around and said: "Your Majesty, guards, there are many people in the workshop, and there are some facilities hanging in the air, which is very dangerous. Your Majesty, please be sure to wear a steel helmet.
Otherwise, I would never dare to bring His Majesty in."
"In addition, the hem of the royal robe His Majesty is wearing is too wide, which is very inconvenient in the workshop. I take the liberty of asking Your Majesty to change his clothes."
"Bold!" a guard immediately scolded.
"Hey!" Yunxi stopped him and said, "Ambassador Li also considers my safety. Not only should he not reprimand, but he should reward me."
"It's no big deal for me to change my clothes. Huang Lu, bring me the clothes I brought from the palace, and I'll put them on."
Huang Lu responded and came over with the package. Li Youbu led them into the house. Yunxi changed into this short dress under Huang Lu's service.
Li Yobu then said to the guards: "The hems of the guards' clothes are also a bit long. Please change."
"Is this still long?" someone muttered. They thought their clothes were already very short.
But at this time, a sweaty worker came out of the workshop. Everyone saw that his upper body was just a sleeveless thin jacket and his lower body was only a pair of trousers. He was wearing nothing else. They immediately knew what they were wearing.
My clothes have indeed grown too long, so I have to change them.
