Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1764
"Your Majesty, it looks very suitable. It seems that this style of Hanfu is made for your figure." The maid helped Christina change into a Han-style long skirt.

Christina originally thought that the long skirt of Hanfu would not suit the body shape of Europeans, but after changing into a long skirt, she found it very suitable, which far exceeded her expectations.

Originally, she was used to wearing men's clothing, but after changing into a Chinese-style long skirt, she was a little reluctant to change it.

"It's really strange. It is reasonable to say that oriental clothing is designed for their oriental girl's body shape. Why do I think this kind of clothing is more suitable for our body shape?" Christina was still puzzled.

Tianxia Cloth is the largest clothing store in the capital, and some of the clothing is even exported overseas. Some of the managers in it can also speak overseas languages, so they have the ability to talk to Christina and the others.

"The reason is very simple. We have Western, Eastern, and Nanyang women living in the capital. They have different body shapes. We have improved and designed them for people from different places. This style of long skirt is designed for Western women. Sometimes it will be sent to the military lord's mansion, so it's normal for you to think it fits well." The steward explained the reason.

In order to export the clothing here, they also have to adapt to local conditions instead of rote.

"I see." Christina suddenly realized.

Since it was a long skirt designed for them Westerners, she felt that it was normal for her to fit it well.

"Are there more styles?" Christina asked.

"Of course, please come here." The steward knew that a big customer came. This kind of long skirt designed for Westerners is still a small product in China. If you can take this opportunity to sell it to the West, it will become a kind of European women It is a new fashion, maybe in the future, they can export Chinese-style long skirts specially designed for them to Europe.

The Duke of Brandenburg and Queen Ruidai were setting up shop all over the world, while Prince Condé and Crown Prince Louis XIV of France came to a store selling internal combustion engine cars and wanted to buy a Model T car.

They tasted the marrow to know the taste, took the car twice, tasted the convenience of travel, heard that as long as they have money, they can buy a car, and they couldn't help thinking about buying a car.

In the car factory, there are complete T-cars equipped one after another.

It was already night at this time, and the automobile manufacturing factory was temporarily closed. Only a store affiliated to the automobile manufacturing factory set up in the city was still open.

The automobile manufacturing factory is responsible for the production of automobiles. The assembly line inside is a secret, while the store outside sells complete vehicles to ordinary residents.

There are also two Model T prototypes parked next to the store for car buyers to try.

The production capacity of the Model T is sufficient, and it can even be started overnight. It is not the production capacity that limits the production, but the market demand.

The French mission wanted to buy the Model T, which might be an opportunity to export cars to the West and absorb production capacity.

"It's exactly the same as the car that received us! Prince Condé, we can buy it!"

Louis XIV was only 12 years old, still a child, he said excitedly when he saw the Model T parked on the wasteland.

"If they sell, we can buy it." Prince Condé also supported Louis XIV's approach.

Buy a Model T and maybe be able to copy this kind of thing.

However, Prince Condé did not know how difficult it is to imitate such a car even if he bought a Model T.

The most difficult thing to tackle should be the internal combustion engine technology that is the heart of the car, followed by mining oil and using distillation to separate gasoline from oil, and then various processes such as pneumatic rubber tires and brass parts.

The technical problem is not necessarily the biggest difficulty. The problem is that the cost of the counterfeit product may not be able to compete with the Model T car produced on the assembly line.China's local technology is changing at an extremely fast speed, and Chu Yun is not even afraid of being imitated by the other party.Because the counterfeiting speed of the other party is not as fast as the new product launch here...

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." The employee in charge of selling cars saw a few blond men planning to buy a car, but couldn't understand what they were saying, and didn't know whether to sell them or not.

"Oh, communicating with them is the most troublesome thing!" Prince Kong Dai scratched his head, not knowing Chinese is not convenient at all here.

The French envoys were caught in their own troubles, while on the other side, the old and young pair of Coplulu and the Persian emperor walked side by side on the street. They were still wearing their own costumes, which attracted many people's attention.

But not too crowded.

After China entered the age of great voyages, Indian merchants and Arab merchants appeared in the capital, and the residents of the capital also saw many merchants dressed similarly to them.

"There is no curfew here, the night is like day, and the business is endless day and night. It is much more prosperous than Constantinople, and Constantinople is dwarfed by this." Koprulu leaned on a cane and walked slowly. .

The young Persian emperor slowed down his pace in order to match Kopluru.He's under a lot of pressure right now.

Huaxia has already established a fortress in the Persian Gulf. On the surface, it says it wants to dig for oil, but in fact it doesn't know what to do.He has just come of age, and he can still reign for decades, that is to say, he will live in fear of being dominated by the Chinese for the next few decades.The fortified fortresses of the Persian Gulf were like a state within a state.

He had the same idea as Coplulu, and wanted to try to lift the constraints of the "Treaty of Isfahan" on the Persian Empire.

But when I came to the capital, I found that the power gap between the two sides was too large. The other party could export steam ironclad ships at any time. How can we lift the unequal treaty in the future?
"How does the Ottoman Empire plan to deal with the crisis? Don't forget that the Persian Gulf is not only the sphere of influence of our Persian Empire, but your Ottoman Empire also has a sphere of influence in the Arabian Peninsula. They will not let the Arabian Peninsula go." Abbas II asked.

"Before I came here, I had imagined many countermeasures, but after I came here, I found that none of the previously conceived countermeasures seemed to help. Even if our Ottoman Empire joins hands with your Persian Empire, it may not be able to last long in front of their armored troops." Copley replied.

"Oh." The two sighed heavily as they looked at the extremely prosperous street.

This sense of gap is too great, and new industrial technology is not as easy to learn as primary iron-smelting technology, they have a deep sense of powerlessness.

In the face of powerful enemies, as the rulers of the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire, although they had the idea of ​​​​saving the country and becoming stronger, how easy is it to move from scratch to industrial civilization?
"Are we going to start the transformation of orientalization?" Abbas II said suddenly.
