Chapter 1765 Advanced Crystal Palace
Half a month after the Envoys of the World Nations arrived in the capital, the World Nations Expo finally began.
The location for the first World Expo in the world is near Xiangshan. There is a guild hall specially built for the World Expo - Crystal Palace!
The huge crystal palace is built in steel and glass, and it took only 9 months to complete the construction.
The World Expo will last for a month, open to both ambassadors of all countries and local residents.
"The nickname is outside the world, and the World Expo will be held in the Crystal Palace, with more than 10,000 items on display!"
"Enter the tickets with tickets, only 20,000 tickets are sold on the first day, and the quantity is limited. You can buy them at Kyushu Bank, and you can only buy them one!"
Newspapers walked through the streets and alleys quickly spread the news that the World Expo was about to be held.
On the first day, because they were mainly receiving envoys from all countries and selling industrial products to them, only 20,000 tickets were released.
These 20,000 tickets were frantically bought, and the price has increased by 5 times, 10 times, and 15 times in a row!
It’s not that it will happen if you go one day late, but when you arrive at the Crystal Palace on the first day, you may have the opportunity to see Chu Yun and other senior officials, or envoys from all countries. If you don’t help, you can show off to others that you are the first people to step into the Crystal Palace.
The convoy of the Model T car appeared in the area where the Envoys of the World Nations temporarily lived, preparing to pick up and drop off the main figures of the Envoys to the Crystal Palace.
The various envoys knew that they had finally arrived here and that they would visit almost all industrial products up close and appreciate the power of industrial civilization.
"According to their officials of the Ministry of Rites, they built a crystal-like palace for this event, called the Crystal Palace, which was completed in just 9 months."
"After 9 months, isn't this a joke?"
The princes and nobles from kingdoms around the world changed into the clothes they felt most appropriate, and skillfully got into the car while chatting.
The convoy sent the envoys of the All Nations to the venue of the All Nations Expo.
When this group of envoys appeared in front of the Crystal Palace, they realized that their imagination was imprisoned by their previous insights!
This is a large palace that is 30 meters high, 700 meters long, 170 meters wide, and covers an area of about 120,000 square meters!
It would not be surprising to say that such an area is just like this.
What shocked everyone was that this was a single building, and new building materials were used, which were crystal clear!
The group stood in front of the huge crystal palace and looked so small. The crystal palace with a large amount of transparent glass could see through the glass the exhibition tables, flowers, plants, and rockery fountains inside.
It can be said that this is an advanced architectural concept!
"The construction of the Crystal Palace consumed 7,500 tons of steel and 15 hectares of glass. Among them, 5,000 iron pillars and 3,500 iron beams." The Ambassador of the Ministry of Rites introduced this huge Crystal Palace to them.
"7500 tons of steel...just to build a building? There are 15 hectares of glass..."
Envoys from all countries swallowed their saliva with difficulty. So much steel and glass production seemed too extravagant in their opinion!
You should know that the steel production of various countries is still very low. They use steel in weapons or some important fields, and in order to build a crystal palace, they consume 7,500 tons of steel!
"Our steel is very sufficient, and 7,500 tons of steel is nothing to us. It is better to say that we built this crystal palace to consume our excess steel and glass so as not to stop the steel and glass factories." The ambassador of the Ministry of Rites said proudly.
The implication is very simple. The output of steel and glass is too much. If not used in large quantities, it will cause greater losses!
Many princes and nobles who had seen steam iron armored ships thought that the other party used 1,000 to 3,000 tons of steel, a small and medium-sized iron armored ship, and the large main iron armored ship used nearly 10,000 tons of steel. Are you still concerned about building the 7,500 tons of steel in the Crystal Palace?
The gate of Crystal Palace was still closed, obviously waiting for Chu Yun's arrival.
The ambassadors of All Nations knew that the protagonist this time was not necessarily them, but the person who ordered the construction of this crystal palace behind the scenes.
"That's transparent glass, and using glass as the main building material is really fantastic!"
"It's really like a fairy tale. I wonder if the Crystal Palace will be more beautiful at night?"
While waiting, the ambassadors had simple communication in private. They showed envy of the Crystal Palace, which was not only the luxury of the Crystal Palace, but also the envy of the huge steel and glass output.
Chu Yun was ready to come at this time, and he took the lead in meeting the important members of the Six Ministry and various provinces.
There are not only ambassadors of various countries, but also important personnel from all over the country, especially those in Japan, Goryeo, Western Regions, Nanyang, East Jiaozhi, West Jiaozhi and other relatively remote provinces.
In order to win over the newly-compiled provinces, Chu Yun suppressed another part of the powerful by attracting some powerful people. For example, the Japanese province had a Western country who was willing to obey and defeated the Eastern country. The original Goryeo, Annan country, Siam, and Dongyu countries also had a group of powerful people who were willing to obey. This time Chu Yun asked them to come to participate in the World Expo, on the one hand, to demonstrate the industrial power of the empire, so that they could surrender for generations, and on the other hand, they also made various provinces start to promote new technologies.
Steam locomotives, cars, steam boats, and electric lights will appear in various parts of the empire, not just Gyeonggi.
The overseas market is very important, and the domestic market is even more important. In fact, the local market may have occupied one-third of the world's population at this time, which also means more than one-third of the market.
"I'm honored to see you." After Daming, who came from the Japanese province, respectfully saluted Chu Yun, the person who indirectly conquered Japan.
Among these people are Shimazu Kokuha of the Satsuma clan, Ida Tadazo of the Sendai clan, Tadashi of the Ryukawa clan, Tadashi of the Yamauchi Tadaoyi of the Tosa clan, and Tadaoyi of the Japanese clan. Many of them participated in the establishment of the Japanese prefecture, which can be said to be an interest group established by the Japanese prefecture at that time.
After the establishment of the Japanese province, they served as some middle and low-level civil officials, namely the prefect and county magistrates, and also served as sheriffs.
The provincial civil affairs officials and judicial officers of the Japanese province are in charge of the capital, and are airborne personnel from the Ministry of Personnel in the capital.
As for the Emperor of Japan, he has been deposed as a civilian for many years and is not qualified to come.
"Is the Japanese province okay?" Chu Yun asked.
