Three months later, Britain and the Netherlands would go to war. At this time, Cromwell also needed to find a friend to boost his courage, and Ming was a big country, at least big enough.Even if the so-called navigation protection is a blank check, it is enough to boost Cromwell's confidence.

"OK, wish us a happy cooperation!"

There is no need to sign any agreement, and there is no need to pass the parliament. This kind of transaction is just a tacit agreement. The United Kingdom has only paid a little bit of labor, and it is not a treaty. Cromwell can still make this decision.

Chapter 5 and Four: Miss Fang Shocks the Thames

Huang Zongxi was drunk because Scotch whiskey can also intoxicate people, and because he had accomplished the important task entrusted to him by the emperor.

When he woke up, the sunlight had already poured into the room, only the noisy noise outside the window kept coming and going.It was the yelling and cursing of the dirty and rude sailors on the Thames, and the laughing and cursing of some women with twisted bucket waists and huge breasts and these sailors.

Fang Yi had long since disappeared, and Huang Zongxi was the only one in the room. The housekeeper heard the movement in the room and quickly sent a maid in to wait for Huang Zongxi to wake up.

Breakfast is still very rich, buttered bread with cheese, some sausages, and of course Chinese tea.In fact, in London in the [-]th century, breakfast was the patent of the rich. It was not until full industrialization that British people regarded breakfast as a necessity.

"Where did Madam go?" Huang Zongxi asked the housekeeper while eating.

"My lord, the lady says she's gone to Ipswich, Suffolk," replied the butler.

It wasn't until this time that Huang Zongxi remembered what happened last night.In Britain in the seventeenth century, Ipswich had the most developed shipbuilding industry, where craftsmen were the cheapest, followed by the banks of the Thames.Fang Yi had already inquired about this kind of thing.

"Hurry up and get the carriage ready, I want to call on Mr. John Niederp." Huang Zongxi didn't even have time to eat, there were only two weeks in total, and he and everyone had to race against time.

It's no wonder that the British craftsmen don't treat them as liars if they expect the Ming people to set up a booth in London to recruit people. Even if all the staff are mobilized, they may not be able to recruit a few people in two weeks.

Huang Zongxi thought of what Fang Yi said, the emperor wanted them to spend all the money they brought over, so why not take it back if they didn't spend it all? They didn't travel across the ocean to make money.

Besides, the best way to make money is to do business!Wouldn’t it be more valuable to buy a few shipments of goods than to bring money back home? Didn’t you see those stewardesses and stewardesses who took international flights in later generations, each of them got at least two oversized suitcases when they got off the plane, and they definitely didn’t put two boxes of underwear in them.

The carriage soon stopped at the door of Johnny Depp's house, a small estate outside London.Niederp is really developed now.

"Oh! My dear Huang, why are you here?" John said surprise on his mouth, but he wasn't surprised at all in his eyes. He expected that the Chinese would look for him.

"Tell me, how much do you want?" Huang Zongxi was not polite to this kid at all, he completely understood the way of thinking of the Europa people.You must know that he is Huang Zongxi, not an ordinary person.

If any other unknown Daming person came here, the feasibility would be greatly reduced.

"I want this." Nieder gestured for a large vase with his hands.

Huang Zongxi turned his head and walked to the side of the carriage, and then brought out two large cloisonné vases.

"omg!" Niederp was completely stunned.

Huang Zongxi thought to himself: Fortunately, he didn't want Song porcelain, otherwise there wouldn't be any.This cloisonne is not a rare item for Daming, there are many in the emperor's house.

"Come with me!" Niederp said, he was taking money from others to help others.

Now that he is in the UK, some things cannot be done according to Daming's methods.Bribing officials does not work in the UK, it is better to bribe businessmen, at least the businessmen are well-informed.

According to Niederp, the UK is now making every effort to build warships, and the senior technicians in the big shipyards will never go with the Ming people.And the craftsmen in the small shipyard are limited, and they are not the people Huang Zongxi needs.

"Then what should we do?" Huang Zongxi asked.

Niederp shrugged, saying that he was helpless.Huang Zongxi was furious, he really wanted to slap this kid a few times, but the price for two big vases is too expensive.

In this way, two days passed, and Huang Zongxi still couldn't think of a good solution. Everyone in the entire Daming Mission recruited a few drunkards who were not good at work but lazy.

In the evening, Huang Zongxi sat blankly at the dining table alone. Eating alone in a foreign country is very boring.The light of the candles seemed dim and flickering.If he just returned to China like this, Huang Zongxi felt that he would not be able to explain to himself that Europa's shipbuilding technology is really good, and he would be envious.

With a bang, the door was pushed open, and Fang Yi walked in with a sword in hand.

"Quick, give me hot water." Fang Yi yelled anxiously.

The British don't drink hot water. Only the Chinese or only Chinese men would persuade women to drink hot water. It was like this in ancient times.So what Fang Yi drank was the water Huang Zongxi used to make tea.Both the housekeeper and the maid looked at the strange behavior of the hostess in amazement.

"It's not safe for you to go to such a strange place by yourself!" Huang Zongxi felt sorry for his daughter-in-law.

"The little thieves who dare to attack my aunt haven't been born yet." Fang Yi's domineering sideways.Are you kidding me, this aunt is Fang Jinnan, the former chief rudder of the Great Tomorrow Society, and she is the kind who brings art into the organization.

"What gain?" Huang Zongxi asked.

"Tell me about your situation first?" Fang Yi asked back.

Huang Zongxi bit the bullet and explained the situation again, then continued to be depressed.

"Now there is only one way." Fang Yi said.

"What way?" Huang Zongxi asked.

"Fudge, fool hard. First fool John Nieder, and then use him to fool others." Fang Yi talked eloquently.

That night, the couple lay on the bed without talking at all, the lights were on all night, and the candles were changed several times.Every time the maid sees the hostess and hostess sitting on the head of the bed, both in high spirits.

The maid especially wanted to see why the man from the Ming Dynasty was so powerful, and whether he was under the spell of a witch. I heard that there are mysterious witchcraft in the mysterious East that can make men more masculine.

Niederp was admiring the cloisonné vase with a magnifying glass at home, when he heard a visitor outside the door asking to see him, and it was the Ming man who had the vase, he immediately regained his energy.Is it here to deliver good things again?

"Ah! My dear Mrs. Huang, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are even more attractive." Since Nedep became rich, his ability to seduce girls has also improved.Sure enough, money is a man's confidence, and the level of picking up girls with money is much higher than that of people without money.

"Nidepp, do you want to make a fortune?" This time it was Fang Yi's turn to speak first.Nedep glanced at Huang Zongxi next to him, he couldn't figure out what's going on today, isn't it common for Ming people not to let women dominate?

Huang Zongxi looked very calm, with a very indifferent expression.

"Of course I want to! Just ask Mrs. Huang, how much money do you want to make?" Niederp asked.

"Large enough to make you rich enough to buy the Tower of London."

"Pfft." After Fang Yi finished speaking, Ni Depu was scalded by Daming's good tea, or he was frightened.The Tower of London, in the seventeenth century, was equivalent to the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty.

"Mrs. Huang, you are too good at making jokes." Nieder felt that this joke was not funny at all.

"Excuse me, Mr. John Niederp, we have just negotiated with the protector of your country to conclude a plan to drive the Dutch East India Company out of Japan. May I ask who will take over the trade between the East India Company and Japan?" Huang Zongxi was not salty. Not lightly said.

"Anyway, it won't be me." Nedep spread his hands indifferently.

"No, it can involve you. We can form a new East India Company to grab the business of the Dutch." Huang Zongxi said.

"Are you crazy?" Niederp jumped up and said, "The Dutch have fifteen hundred cargo ships and dozens of huge warships. We used to die, do you understand?!" Niederp growled.

"Look, let me just say that he is very timid! He is destined not to be a nobleman." Fang Yi glanced at Niederpo with contempt.

The British have an adventurous spirit in their bones, so they are pirates and pioneers of colonies.Niederp, who has been in the East, knows how profitable the trade in the East is.

"You are a crazy couple, you are all crazy. What do you want me to do?" The temptation of the name East India Company is too great, and behind Huang Zongxi and his wife is a big empire.

This plan was so convincing that Niederp didn't even have the courage to refuse.

"Use all your property as a guarantee to form our East India Company. As long as you bring shipbuilders from here, you can bring back a fleet full of porcelain, silk, tea, sugar..." Fang Yi said.
