Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1786 Establishment of the Eastern System
"The next thing is to lay cables in the countries. You should also understand that we can carry messages through a special wire. If you want us to provide this service, you need to have our people in your territory. Construction. Please open up all kingdoms to let us lay wires."

Before the ambassadors of various countries recovered, Chu Yun put forward the fourth proposal, laying wires all over the world to facilitate communication and dumping electrical products in the future.

Controlling the power supply and wires all over the world, you can do whatever you want with them in the future...

At present, submarine cables communicate with the three oceans, but the laying of cables on land is not enough to connect major cities and towns around the world.To lay telegraphs in Europe and obtain local information, they need their consent before laying wires.

All the ambassadors present knew the concept of "electricity" through the World Expo, and also knew the functions of wires and telegraphs. One is used to transmit electric energy, and the other is used to obtain the information carried by the current.

What they don't know is the most critical parts, such as how electricity is generated, and what is the structure of wires and telegraphs.All they know is the use and some rough principles. It takes a long time to explore or get technical assistance from Chu Yun to actually develop generators and telegraphs.

Before obtaining the technology, only Chu Yun's subordinates had the ability to produce generators, wires, and telegraphs.

These ambassadors once again fell into heated discussions. Opening up their land to allow Chu Yun to lay wires on it, wouldn't it mean that Dongfang controlled the wires, and Dongfang's orders could also be transmitted to them immediately?

"We can lay wires in our Kingdom of France, but we need our Kingdom of France to have the ownership and right to use the wires. In return, we can pay you a sum of money." Prince Kong always felt that Chu Yun was allowed to lay wires in French territory at will. It's a behavior that doesn't make him feel at ease.

After all, they only had a cursory understanding of telegrams.

"You should have used our telegram to send messages to your respective kingdoms during this time, and you should know the value of the telegram. Telegram and wire technology are technologies that we only have. I did this for the convenience of all countries to communicate. Lay wires and install telegraphs in your territory. Although you need to pay us the normal price for using telegraphs, you can enjoy the most advanced technology from the royal family to the common people." Chu Yun mastered Core technology, there is no worry that the other party will be able to refuse the temptation brought by the new technology.

If they want to use telegraphs in their kingdom, they need to agree to Chu Yun's conditions-he will provide personnel to lay the wires and acknowledge Huaxia's ownership of the laid wires and deployed telegraphs.

It is estimated that the ambassadors of various countries do not know that telegrams can be tapped.If you use the telegram provided by Huaxia to make contact, it is very likely that all the information will fall into the ears of the monitor, not to mention that sending the telegram will have to go through the telegraph operator.

Chu Yun's demanding requirements for the provision of wire and telegraph services put the ambassadors in a dilemma.

The advent of the telegraph and the wire was so important that it was the only means of long-distance instant communication they knew.

But the Huaxia people control the telegraphs and wires in their country, and they dare not let the Huaxia people handle important information.The private telegraph communication is nothing important.

"I'm not in a hurry for you to reply to me. It's just that the laying of our local telegraphs has not yet been completed, and the project of laying the wire network in Europe will have to wait for a while. But I believe that soon, the entire continent will be covered with the network provided by us. Wires." Chu Yun was confident.

At present, he is the only one in the world who has this kind of technology, and all countries will ask him to provide technical support.

Chu Yun's peaceful attitude caused the ambassadors to be shaken again.

The mainland of China is laying out telegraph networks on a large scale, while only the city of London and the island of Malta can use telegraphs in Europe. In this way, Europe may become isolated from the world.

"Let me see what else is on the agenda today...the others are small issues, the main one is the Freedom of Navigation Act, making all seas safe, using a common currency and language in international trade, reducing the cost of transactions Cost." Chu Yun looked at the content of the first international conference, and there was no more important matter to announce to these princes and nobles from all over the world.

Originally, Chu Yun had imagined the establishment of a world federation in which diplomatic means could be used to resolve disputes.However, after the establishment of the federation, it may be Huaxia itself who may restrict the most. For example, the small congress passed the federation to protest the violation of sovereignty.

As far as China's own interests are considered, on the premise that there is only one powerful country, it is the best thing to not have a world federation. If one family dominates, and then uses the Holy Alliance to monitor Europe, there is little to worry about.

Unless a new powerful country emerges in the future, or the world can be truly unified in the future, a world federation will not be possible.

Chu Yun also mentioned some other minor issues, such as emphasizing some general principles in diplomacy and trade, and making up for some shortcomings in current diplomacy and international trade rules.

After this meeting, special "Technical Assistance Regulations", "World Common Language and Currency Regulations", "Submarine Cables and Roadbed Wires Regulations", and "Freedom of Navigation Regulations" will be issued to strengthen a series of international common standards proposed by Chu Yun Together, they built the Oriental capital system.

Except for England, Denmark, and Portugal of the Holy Alliance, and the Kingdom of Bengal and the Knights Hospitaller who signed the four regulations, other countries only signed some of the treaties, and some of them did not sign any of the treaties.In particular, the abandoned Barbary pirates were even more angry. They believed that the Chinese-led "Freedom of Navigation Regulations" to combat pirates would completely cut off their way of life.

But no one cares about the Barbary pirates, because the Barbary pirates will be eliminated sooner or later. The ocean has moved from the chaos of the age of great navigation to attacking each other. Every country needs goods from other countries, including China, which also needs raw materials from other places. .

It will take some time for the ambassadors of various countries to digest the new order, and Chu Yun also gave them enough time, and they can join the world system dominated by the East at any time.For countries that join the system, a little sweetness will be given, and countries that do not join will be beaten later.

"You can still live in the capital for a while, and we will arrange for a passenger ship to take you back. You can come to our Rites Department anytime after you have made up your mind." Chu Yun knows that most countries will join the civilized society to adapt to the new game of capital and trade guides rule.
