"The dragon boat races in the east are breathtaking, and the prosperity and prosperity of the east can be seen. It is far away from war and is like a paradise."

The third group of envy sent by Charles I was watching the grand event and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

When European countries fought to the death for hegemony, survival and faith, even the city of London could be under the city by enemy troops at any time, the distant East looked stable and stable, and had free time to hold grand events to celebrate traditional festivals. Although there were occasional small rebellions and the wars against the indigenous kingdoms in the South China Sea were still engaging in wars with the indigenous kingdoms, it was not a threat to the entire emerging empire.

"I originally thought that coming to serve as ambassadors of this ancient country was similar to ambassadors to the Ottoman Empire. It seems that I was wrong. The climate here is pleasant, stable and prosperous, and I don't know how better than the Ottoman Empire." Sir Digby, who served as the third group of envoys, sighed afterwards.

After the third group of envoys came to an end, they returned to their temporary residence.

Because they came to live, they needed to rent houses here as a simple embassy to keep in touch with it at all times. Charles I saw the East as an external force in a critical moment.

In addition to pedestrians, there were also scattered bicycles passing by on the streets of the capital. Members of the British envoys were amazed by the street scenes.

At this time, there were about 1,000 bicycles in Beijing. Compared with the small population of hundreds of thousands or millions in Beijing, it is still a luxury. Riding a bicycle through the streets and alleys of the capital can attract a lot of attention, either rich or noble.

"Mr. Coachman, help us transport these luggage to this address." Salina called a tricycle and paid the coachman to transport Mrs. Grace's luggage from the place where the envoy was located to Li Jinde's mansion.

"This lady is so polite. She is a rough man, so she is not a gentleman." The driver who was called to the driver touched the back of his head embarrassedly.

"What kind of carriage is this? Why do it have three wheels?" Mrs. Grace asked in surprise when she saw the strange carriage for the first time.

"This is called a human-powered tricycle. It has only emerged in the capital recently. Each car is very expensive. The tricycle company established by the government submits orders to the factory, hires people to drive, and serves as a means of transporting passengers and cargo in the streets and alleys of the capital. Each car has its own number, and if something happens, it can be held accountable to the tricycle company." Salina explained.

Human tricycle!

After the emergence of bicycles, Chu Yun asked people to study this technology that is lower-level than cars.

However, human tricycles are only lower-level than automobile technology. In this era, human tricycles are an advanced means of transportation integrating modern technology.

First, it requires a large number of durable and cheap springs, followed by rubber tires that slow down the bumps caused by dirt roads and gravel roads, and ball bearings that are processed in modern times!

These parts may be dull little parts in later generations, but in this era it was a bolt from the blue!

The emergence of human tricycles has brought considerable convenience to freight and passenger transport within the city, alleviating the troubles caused by horse manure to the city, and at the same time providing convenience to residents and solving the inhumane side of the sedan.

Freight and passenger transport within the city are a huge market, and the human tricycle drivers hired by the government have also slightly alleviated the social employment problem.

The tricycle driver couldn't understand that Salina explained to Mrs. Grace in English, and chatted: "This lady must have lived in the capital for a long time, and this lady is probably a member of the envoys that have arrived from the West recently, right?"

"I didn't expect that Mr. Coachman, you are really well-informed." Salina has been in the capital for a long time and no longer feels restricted, but she naturally talks with the coachman.

"We travel through the streets and alleys to make a living, and most of the news in the market are known. Well, all the luggage is loaded, so I will send it to the mansion, so it will be fine." The driver pedaled the pedal, and the human-powered tricycle with little cargo started lightly from the spot.

Human-powered tricycles are in full swing, and the number of human-powered tricycles in Beijing is less than 50, and the human-powered tricycles company is a pilot project.

The driver held his head and chest up. Although the driver was not a noble career, it was not even popular in Beijing at this time. The magical thing like human bicycles appeared on the streets and would still attract many people's curious eyes.

When Mrs. Grace saw the coachman sitting in the seat in front, she seemed to have no effort to make the tricycle move and disappeared from the corner of the street. She was so surprised that the wool fan in her hand was about to land.

"What a magical country! I would have been even more surprised if I hadn't been riding something called the Little Steam Locomotive!" Mrs. Grace exclaimed.

"These things have only appeared in recent years. Even the residents of this city feel novel. Later, everyone felt that they were useful and got used to it. For example, hiring the coachman just now can't spend much copper coins, but it can reduce the fatigue of transporting goods. And when traveling, you can also take a tricycle. But we women are not very elegant." Salina took her mother on the streets of Guodu in the Eastern Empire and introduced her to the situation here.

It was the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, and the streets were full of shoulders and bustling.

"Mom, see who I brought?" Salina carried Li Ying'er back to Li Jinde's mansion.

"The coachman has just arrived and brought a bunch of luggage over. When I asked him what happened, he could not say anything. If it weren't for the busy making rice dumplings, I would have followed him to watch the dragon boat race." Aunt Li heard Salina's voice and walked out of the kitchen and wiped the greasy on her hands on her apron.

When she came out, she saw another blonde woman following Salina, and she was about the same age as her Aunt Li, and she was stunned.

At the same time, Mrs. Grace was stunned when she saw Aunt Li's outfit. The two of them stared at each other with big eyes.

"Mom, this is the in-laws you want to meet, and my biological mother." Salina introduced Mrs. Grace to Aunt Li.

"It turns out to be the in-laws. Why don't you say anything to me in advance? Look, I'm not ready yet!" Aunt Li said angrily, and thought of a very serious problem, "Will she say what we are here?"

"This... I really won't know how to do it for the time being..." Salina also discovered this problem.
