Chapter 5 and Five: Half a Volume of Books in Exchange for Thousands of Gold

On the fifth day, word spread throughout London and its surrounding areas that Niederp, who had made a fortune in the East, actually planned to form another East India Company and compete with the Dutch.

This news is really shocking, at least Cromwell and the entire British Parliament are happy to see it happen.The British's navigation regulations are themselves declaring war on the Dutch.Now there is a person who emerges as a fighter, that is a hero!Britain needs such heroes.

Countless British people came to inquire about the qualifications to join the partnership, or whether Niederp should also issue shares.

Niederp himself is a legend of wealth creation, and what the bourgeoisie pursues most is the dream of wealth creation, and people flock to it.

But Niederp has let the wind out, only accepting shareholdings from shipyards, not ordinary trading companies and individuals.This time, many ambitious businessmen were very disappointed.But it has opened a dawn for many small and medium shipyards.

In Europe during this period, the adventurers with the most wealth legends were the most well-behaved workers.In a country like Britain, surrounded by the sea, shipbuilding is not a profitable business at all, because there are too many people doing it.

By the tenth day, Niederp had received more than 30 large and small shipyards' intention to participate in the stock.It should be said that this matter has been more than half successful at this point.

"No." Fang Yi looked at the list of these shipyards and said.

"What's wrong?" Huang Zongxi was still immersed in excitement.

"Things are going so well. There are actually two large shipyards that manufacture warships for the UK. Are their officials blind?"

As soon as Fang Yi reminded him, Huang Zongxi broke out in a cold sweat immediately.He is the secretary next to Zhu Youjian. Thinking at the national level, who would give away their own good things so easily?And it’s the highest quality as soon as it’s delivered?

Unless it's a fool like Liu Chan.Was Cromwell a fool?Huang Zongxi recalled Cromwell's smiling face, no, the other party was an old fox who was smarter than a monkey.

"Master, hurry up and ask their Lord Protector, and tell us that we will only take away five small shipyards, and we will never take more. Otherwise, we won't be able to take any of us." Fang Yi is better than Huang Zongxi in this kind of thing. She is more knowledgeable, and Huang Zongxi is willing to listen to her words.

"Then what about the master we want?" Huang Zongxi asked.

After running so far and tossing for so long, you can't just bring back some ordinary goods like this?Tang monks also want to learn from the real scriptures.

"We can only choose people from these small and medium-sized shipyards. I have been to Ipswich, and many of the shopkeepers of small and medium-sized shipyards are experienced craftsmen themselves, otherwise they would not be able to do it alone."

Fang Yi's words hit the point at once.Just like China in later generations, the bosses of many small companies are technical backbones themselves. Without strong technology, who would dare to go it alone?

"Then it's hard work, lady." There are only four days, and Huang Zongxi can imagine how much work it will be. The most important thing is that he is not familiar with the place and the language.

"It's okay, the worst is to use money to open the way. If you throw all the money in London, I won't believe that nothing will come out of it." Fang Yi's stubborn temper came up again, just like when she ran on Zhu Youjian back then.

Cromwell thought that the bright man would choose a large shipyard to take away. In fact, he would not stop him, but mixed sand among the people who left.Do you think Europeans won’t do things that are shoddy? That’s because you’ve watched too much European brand news.

When he heard Huang Zongxi say that he would only take five small shipyards away, Cromwell gave Huang Zongxi a very appreciative look.The young man in front of him was very discerning and not easily deceived.

Since there are only some small and medium-sized shipyards, and there are only five in number, they can't hurt England, and they will still give them some face.

Fang Yi was almost paralyzed from exhaustion, she sent all her subordinates out, and focused on looking for owners of small and medium shipyards who had experience in building warships.And preferably young and middle-aged

Judging by age, those who are too old are definitely not suitable. Traveling long distances is no joke. These old Europas can easily die to see God.

It said that there were five shipyards, but only Fang Yi knew how many shipyards they had found.Anyway, they took the money to open the way, and even went to the East to make a fortune with flickers, and promised everyone to send oversized porcelain or something, and finally succeeded in flickering to 500 people.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Fang Yi decided to leave London as soon as the date came.In this way, the time is very tight, and there is not even enough time for replenishment.

"My lady, we have become completely paupers." Huang Zongxi opened the empty box and said.

"Don't worry, go to the Portuguese for a loan." Fang Yi was still so bold.

On February 28th, on the banks of the Thames, three 250-ton ships loaded with people were setting sail.

Due to the rush of time, there were not many people seeing them off on the shore, and the most eye-catching ones were the group of servants hired by the Huangs.Their eyes were full of tears, and everyone was holding this exquisite oriental gift box. The lid of the gift box had been opened, and there was a set of exquisite imitation blue and white flowers inside.

"These British people are so polite, you can see that they are all in tears." Huang Zongxi was also moved by this group of foreigners.

"Tch! That's because the gift you gave is worth a lot. I bet they will carry the box to the auction house after we leave." Fang Yi didn't pay attention to the shore at all, she was admiring the distant scenery. tower of london.

"You crow's mouth, you have fulfilled it so quickly." When the last rope was untied and the boat slowly left the shore, Huang Zongxi saw a group of businessmen rushing towards the maids, like hungry wolves rushing towards the maids. sheep.

The weather was fine today, Fang Yi put back on her big red robe, painted with meticulous makeup, and left her back to London as beautiful as a fairy.

"Where's Nedep? Why don't you see him come out to say goodbye to his family?" Huang Zongxi didn't care to look at his beautiful wife, but was looking for someone everywhere.

Finally, in a small dark corner of the cabin, Niederp was wearing a large gray linen robe, nestling on the floor like a monk.

"What's wrong with you?" Huang Zongxi asked.

"Huang, I'm penniless again now." Niederp wriggled his mouth and answered in a crying voice.

"Hahaha. Honey, please believe me, you will definitely get rich, and the wealth is far away." Huang Zongxi comforted Ni Depu with his arms around his neck.

"When I come back again, I must bring back a lot of silver." Niederp snotted and burst into tears.

"Tch! If you bring more of these things, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely exchange all the silver rewards for you with gold." Fang Yi flipped through the rolls of drawings while talking.

"What are these?" Huang Zongxi asked curiously.

"This is a copy of the blueprint of the warship that we exchanged for gold, all of which are brand-new ship types being built in England. Craftsmen can't dig them out, but there will always be some people who will find a way to do business. The old lady spent more than people I bought it at three times the price." Fang Yi looked proud.

"Ah!" Huang Zongxi looked at his wife in surprise.

In front of gold, good people can become devils, not to mention pirates are not good people!

"What's the matter, sir, is the one I bought too expensive?" Fang Yi asked while holding Huang Zongxi's face.

"No, it's too cheap. Hahaha..." Huang Zongxi now can't wait to turn the bow of the boat back and buy a bunch.Daming will never have too many such things, the few boxes of blueprints in front of him can only be regarded as half a volume of books at most.

"Huang, who is my old lady? Is she an old woman?" Niederp asked out of time in Chinese.

The fleet left the Thames Estuary, and there were groups of seabirds flying in the sky. The coast in the distance was France, where there was another ship waiting for them.

This time, the sailors in the fleet were all young people from Daming. According to regulations, everyone had the opportunity to take turns being the captain for a day.Then the fleet is stumbling towards maturity.

Chapter 5 and Six: The Talented Crazy Hong

Hong Chengchou had a rough New Year's Eve, the place where he could make trouble became smaller and smaller, and the attitude of the woman he liked was getting colder and colder towards him.

"Blame me!" Hong Chengchou definitely wanted to say such a sentence in his heart.

He really can't be blamed for this battle in Liaodong. It can only be blamed on Houjin's sister-in-law and brother-in-law for not working hard together.One likes the front and the other likes the back, and such a thing will make everyone unhappy.

According to Dorgon's thinking, all the Jurchens will evacuate the entire North China and retreat to Liaodong together with the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. Basically, Zhu Youjian can only do nothing, at least for five years.

It's a pity that Da Yu'er is used to living in a big house and living a good life, so how could she move back to that small house?

All this may be the fault of the house.Thinking about Da Yuer, even combing his hair needs a special expert to serve him, and this combing hair finally became the rich wife of Mr. Jiang Ning Weaving.

Such a woman, would she be willing to return to Liaodong in her heart? Nonsense.A few plays have given "My Xiaozhuang" to mythology.
