Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Hongyu deceived Williams completely.

    A huge empire with a population of 30 million is indeed something that the British cannot deal with.

    Fortunately, this empire is far away from here, in the far, far north.  This is just a fiefdom of the imperial crown prince, and His Majesty doesn't seem to have much interest in his fiefdom.

    Bullshit!

    Williams was completely deceived by Zhao Hongyu.

    How could he not be interested in the American continent? This is absolutely impossible.

    Not only North America, but also Canada, Central and South America, Zhao Hongyu has ambitions, but he didn't show it.

    "I personally don't like war, so I didn't tell my father about this conflict. If I told him, the imperial army would come at any time, which would disturb my peace."

    Zhao Hongyu pretended to compete as much as he wanted. When he found out that Williams actually believed everything that Williams said to him, he laughed in his heart.

    When he said this, Williams seemed a little frightened.

    Because in the chat with Zhao Hongyu just now, Williams inquired about it intentionally or unintentionally, and our Crown Prince Zhao Hongyu also pretended to be stupid and revealed something about the imperial army and its establishment, intentionally or unintentionally.

    The Song Empire had an army of 300,000 people, which was a standing army, and there were even more militiamen.

    This shocked Williams to the core.

    An army of 300,000 would be considered powerful on the European continent.

    And when Williams tentatively asked the Emperor's army if they were all like the soldiers he saw at the port today.  Zhao Hongyu told him that those soldiers were his own guards, and the imperial standing army was not comparable to those people.

    kindness.  Well, if we really want to compare, the Imperial Army is half as bad as its own Guards.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ªEven if it¡¯s half the difference, it¡¯s still pretty awesome, okay?

    Williams was completely speechless.

    Although he is a civilian governor, he can also see how elite those soldiers are.

    The mere fact of the prohibition is already very impressive.

    And judging from the spirit of those warriors, we can tell that they have very strong combat effectiveness.

    Williams has already thought about waiting until His Majesty the Crown Prince leaves.  He immediately wrote to the country to report the matter.

    Soon, the two arrived at the Governor's Mansion.

    The Governor's Palace is far away from the city and has a large garden, like a paradise garden.

    Sitting in the garden, basking in the afternoon sun, Zhao Hongyu and Williams started detailed negotiations on the start of the trade.

    As for the war and friction in the previous month?

    Go to hell!

    If these ceramics are placed on the European continent, they will become golden gold coins!

    If those guys in China are not stupid.  You should know that what you are doing is not wrong.

    Although Britain¡¯s victory over the Spanish Armada in 1588 may seem impressive, in fact Britain is still struggling.

    ¡°Now their opponents are not only Spanish, but also Dutch.

    At this time, life was not easy for the British, and even the economic situation was not very good.

    Therefore, they have the greatest desire for gold coins.

    Otherwise.  He, Williams, would not have sent troops to attack after hearing that there were gold mines in Mohican.

    Now that he can get a deal as good as a gold mine without starting a war, what else wouldn't he want to do?

    The most important thing is this generous Majesty.  It can actually provide them with the food that both Britain and Europe need.

    This damn guy is such a good person!

    Williams almost cried.

    " And Zhao Hongyu looked at Williams' excited face, and he really looked down on the bumpkins of this era.

    It¡¯s just some old rice.  As for being so excited?

    Under his questioning, Williams finally told the truth, which made Zhao Hongyu completely lament that the history of the European countrymen at this time was really not as good as what they said later.

    Dare, the historical books of later generations are beautified.

    Since the Spanish discovered the American continent, they have plundered countless gold and silver from the Americas.  The consequence of large amounts of gold and silver flowing into the European continent was that prices skyrocketed.

    Unfortunately, despite the soaring prices, the income of the people at the bottom has not increased at all.

      If you think about this kind of result, you will know what kind of situation it is. The people are in dire straits.

    And the popular food on the European continent is not rice and flour.  What the people eat is the kind of oatmeal paste that is boiled and rotten, like pig food.

    And it¡¯s still one meal a day, or two meals a day.

    "I eat three meals a day. That's something only those who live in the Garden of Eden can enjoy."

    Of course, nobles can eat three or four meals a day.

    But you have to know that the nobles in continental Europe are only a minority after all.  The majority are ordinary people, they are the foundation.

    Therefore, all countries in Europe are worried about food.

    The more money they earn, the more prices skyrocket. It becomes a vicious cycle.

    Fortunately, the American continent has a lot of land, and some land can be opened up to grow food.

    But it still doesn¡¯t solve much of the problem.

    Now that Zhao Hongyu has appeared, he even made a huge promise to get you as much food as you want.  And it's all white rice, not 'fake' at all.

    ¡°How can you not make Mr. Williams excited?

    "As long as you have enough gold, you can have as much food as you want. If you don't have gold, you can exchange people for food." Zhao Hongyu said to Williams with a smile.

    Are slaves used in exchange for food?

    Williams was stunned for a moment and asked with some confusion.

    Zhao Hongyu shook his head: "How much food can a ship of slaves be exchanged for? Aren't there a lot of refugees in European countries? They can do it too. It would be better if they have some skills."

    "I have to think about this question carefully and cannot give an immediate answer." Williams was not stupid. He knew that Zhao Hongyu must have some idea behind this, so he did not agree immediately.

    "It doesn't matter, you can slowly communicate with the country." Zhao Hongyu didn't take it seriously.  "Let's talk about the price of these porcelains and the price of grain."

    Zhao Hongyu said to Williams with a smile¡ª¡ª

    Dividing line¡ª¡ª

    "Captain! I was not wrong at all, that is our ship."

    When Zhao Hong and Mr. Williams started trade discussions in the Governor's Mansion, a group of people who looked extremely downtrodden among the crowd watching at the port were talking in low voices.

    Yes, these people are the unlucky ones who were robbed of the boat by Zhao Hongyu and the others.

    Since their ship was robbed, these people have been living in the city of Yaksali. Their life was really miserable.

    "I know, but look at those soldiers, they are definitely the best among the best. There is nothing we can do, right?"

    Wearing a dirty white shirt, a pair of brown leather pants and a pair of black calfskin boots, a bearded middle-aged man said with a fierce light in his eyes and gritted teeth.

    "What should we do? That's our boat? Without the boat, we can't go back. Do we have to stay exposed in this damn indigenous world?"

    The former sailors surrounding him started making noises.

    They were all crew members accompanying the ship, and they never thought they would encounter such a thing.

    More importantly, after losing the ship, they also lost their source of income, which was a disaster for them.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????OUT OUT

    "There is no way, I probably won't come back with this ship."

    The bearded captain gritted his teeth for a while, and finally sighed with a look of despair.

    He could see that the soldiers on the opposite side were definitely not something they could deal with.

    If they really want to use force to do something, then they will be the unlucky ones in the end.

    And the sailors around him are also people with rich combat experience. With their sixth sense that is beyond ordinary people, they can also feel this.

    The reason why they say this one by one is just because they can¡¯t live anymore.

    While they were talking quietly, a carriage came speeding down the straight street, followed by a pair of trotting soldiers.

    After Zhao Hongyu finished discussing with Williams, he said goodbye and left the Governor's Mansion.

    It¡¯s just a discussion on the prices of ceramics, grain, and some other commodities, which won¡¯t take much time.

    "Take off all the porcelain, Lord Williams and I have reached an agreement!"

    The carriage door opens, Zhao Hongyu walked down.  Wang Shan, who was leading the team from behind, stepped forward and Zhao Hongyu whispered to him.

    Wang Shan nodded and directed the geneticists to start unloading the goods.

    Porcelain is sold in sets, and a set requires 200 gold coins. Whether it is French gold Louis, British gold pound, or Mediterranean Pearce, it can be paid.

    ??And what Zhao Hongyu provides to the Virginia area every six months is only two hundred sets of ceramics.

    This set of ceramics includes six small bowls, four medium bowls, two large bowls, eight small plates, six medium plates, three large plates, and two large 'basins' for holding soup.  Eight spoons, one large spoon.

    It¡¯s just a set, 200 gold coins.

    ¡°In Williams¡¯ opinion, this is extremely cheap.

    Not to mention the European nobles, even the rich merchants in the Mediterranean and Persia will also flock to this.

    This is simply giving yourself money.

    Originally, Williams wanted Zhao Hongyu to expand trade volume, but Zhao Hongyu said that the output was limited, and it was impossible to be prolific with this thing.

    But is this actually the case?

    of course not.

    "Zhao Hongyu can have as much of this low-quality carcinogenic ceramic as he wants.

    "Just considering that too much goods would be worthless, Zhao Hongyu did not expand the quantity.

    Otherwise, how can this stuff be sold for cabbage.

    ? ?This is not good for him.
