Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 1907: These natives are so stingy
Because he found that this road was not a dirt road, nor the cinder road in the port city, nor the cement road that could occasionally be seen on the dock, but a hard road that had never been seen before.
The carriage traveled on this kind of road with almost no bumps!
Earl Carlton considered himself to be someone who knew the world, especially the mighty and even great Tang Empire. He had more knowledge than ordinary people.
Although he has never been to the Tang Empire in his life, he has never even left Europe.
But this line did not prevent him from knowing a lot about the Tang Empire.
This is mainly due to the fact that he and some young generals from European countries have participated in the officer training courses run by the Tang Dynasty.
During his studies in Cadiz, he was exposed to many things that Europeans have never been able to take in their entire lives.
In order to help the European countries improve their combat effectiveness and help the generals of the European countries to skillfully command modern troops equipped with new weapons such as flintlock guns and artillery, the Datang people opened an officer training course in Cadiz a few years ago. Five sessions have been held in a row, each session has about 50 students, and the school system is one year, but only half a year is for theoretical study, and the second half is for internship.
And it is worth noting that this officer training course is not opened in the Spanish-controlled city of Cadiz, but in the Tang embassy area.
Although in the embassy area, these indigenous military academies are unlikely to travel freely to other areas, but they can also directly contact the instructors of Datang and learn about the many differences between Datang and other countries.
For example, the cement road, Earl Carlton knows.
Because in the embassy district of Cadiz, there is a concrete road that goes directly through the consulate from the dock.
Earl Carlton didn't know how the cement thing came about, but he had seen the cement road and knew the benefits and expensive price of the cement road.
But this is the first time he has seen it.
This is not as simple as laying a layer of asphalt on the soil. The oil parking roads laid by Datang are often high-grade oil parking roads, not to mention the solid foundation, and the asphalt is mixed with very small gravel. Paved, expensive.
Over the years, even in the mainland of the Datang Empire, there are not many high-grade oil roads, and more are cinder roads or cement roads.
The reason why there is an oil road in Ceuta is purely because the European hotels paid a lot of money to transport asphalt from the Americas, and then paved it on the private road entering the hotel.
The road is a good road, but of course it is also very expensive.
At least in the Ceuta Prefecture Yamen, it is impossible to use government money to lay high-grade asphalt roads. As for cement roads, don't expect them to be cinder roads.
In fact, it is not only Earl Carlton, even the Tang people who come here for the first time are often amazed!
Because Datang people are more aware of the high cost of laying such high-grade asphalt roads, it is a huge expense just to mine the raw materials from the Americas and then transport them.
However, European hotels are rich, or they are willing to spend money. In order to build the reputation of the first hotel in Europe, people are willing to spend this money.
As the carriage took to the oil parking road, Earl Carlton felt that the bumps of the carriage were smaller. With the addition of the frame spring and the small spring buffer of the seat cushion, people could hardly feel the slightest bump.
After the four-wheeled carriage walked more than 200 meters on the oil parking road, Earl Carlton saw the whole picture of the European Hotel at close range.
In front of the hotel is a huge, neat and tidy garden, and the main building of the hotel, in his opinion, is more magnificent than the king's palace.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Although various castle buildings are popular in Europe today, many castles are actually military fortresses, mainly for military defense functions, so it is impossible to be too large, because the area is too large to require defense forces. The more, the harder it is to defend.
Moreover, contemporary European castles are actually very ugly and smelly!
Even the king's castle, in fact, is like that!
But the European hotel in front of you, even if you look at it from a distance, you can feel the atmosphere of civilization.
As the carriage arrived at the door of the hotel, a messenger soon stepped forward. This messenger was not someone from the Tang Dynasty, but a blond European like Count Carlton.
However, Earl Carlton is very clear that the people who can work here are definitely not pure Europeans, and this messenger should be a temporary resident.
After the messenger opened the car door, Earl Carlton stepped out of the carriage with a slightly nervous mood, looked up and saw the door of the hotel in front of him.
But this gate is actually made of glass, not only the gate, but the walls on both sides of the gate also have large glass curtain walls.
This made Earl Carlton able to see that the hall was very bright even though he had not yet entered the hotel lobby. The winter sunlight poured in through the large glass windows, which not only made the hall extremely bright, but also Feel the warmth and comfort.
Just looking at it is enough to make the Earl of Carlton forget all the palaces in Europe!
If nothing else, just this large glass curtain wall cannot be found in any palace in Europe.
After bringing his subordinates and officials from Datang into the hotel, they first checked in, and then Earl Carlton and others went upstairs to check in.
However, when he went upstairs, he did not go up the stairs as he imagined, but walked into a small room under the leadership of the messenger, and then the small room turned out to rise automatically.
At that moment, Earl Carlton almost screamed in horror!
But Earl Carlton, who had a strong inner quality, held back abruptly. He didn't even ask the elevator operator next to him.
But after arriving on the floor ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Earl Carlton was already a little weak when he walked out.
After finally reaching the room, Earl Carlton has not recovered from the previous elevator shock, and one of the subordinates he brought is constantly crossing his chest.
At the same time, the messenger who brought Earl Carlton upstairs did not go out after putting down his luggage, but stood at the door.
Earl Carlton only reacted after a long time, and asked, "What? Is there anything else?"
The messenger's face was a little stiff, and then he took the door and went out!
After the messenger left the room, he walked to the elevator and complained to an elevator operator with the same blond hair inside: "These natives are too stingy. I heard that he is still an earl of Denmark, and he doesn't even have a reward. I They all waited for them to carry a lot of salutes."
