- "Sir, we captured this ship during the war, so now this ship belongs to us. Regarding your request, I have no way to agree to it."
Zhao Hongyu looked at a bearded man with a calm expression. He came in front of him with a group of sailors, wanting to get his Galen ship back.
"Guards! Take these guys away!"
Williams doesn¡¯t want these guys to ruin the trade.
Zhao Hongyu raised his hand to stop Williams, and the British soldiers around him stopped.
"I cannot agree to your request because this ship already belongs to me. Unless you start a war with us and take it back from me by force." Zhao Hongyu calmly looked at the bearded man in front of him and said slowly.
When he heard Zhao Hongyu talking about starting a war, Williams became a little excited.
Start the war!
**, if a war breaks out, wouldn¡¯t trade be in vain?
"If the guys in the country find out, I will be the governor-general for the rest of my life."
Before he could get angry, Zhao Hongyu spoke again: "But seeing how pitiful you are, I think I can be an agent for you. I have a lot of food. You can contact the Spaniards or the Dutch on your own and give me some Sell ??the rice to them. You can control the price difference by yourself, which can be considered as compensation for you."
The bearded man was dumbfounded.
Williams is really jealous.
"Sir Williams, from now on you will be the general agent of ceramics and the agent of grain in the UK." Zhao Hongyu nodded slightly to him and reminded him.
Williams certainly knows what this agent does.
In the Governor's Mansion, he heard Zhao Hongyu give him a good explanation.
Afterwards, Williams explained the secrets and benefits to the bearded man.
The bearded man had no idea that he could encounter such a good thing.
However, the bearded man soon recovered from his excitement. He said to Zhao Hongyu with a look of regret: "So what if you act as my agent? I don't have a ship and I can't carry out trade at all."
After hearing this, Zhao Hongyu said to him: "Your Excellency the Governor said that a ship will arrive in three days. You can take this ship back and look for powerful businessmen. In addition to the United Kingdom, there are France, the Netherlands, Scotland, England, and Spain. Wait for the country. They also need food over there, and there are still many vacancies for my agents here. Not even a fool will know the benefits of this. You can partner with them and use your own agency to cooperate."
After hearing what Zhao Hongyu said, the bearded man's eyes lit up.
Yes, why didn¡¯t he think of this problem?
With this agency cooperation, I think it won¡¯t be long before I can have a better boat.
¡°Tell the owners of the other two ships to come to me. I can give them a regional agent!¡±
After Zhao Hongyu finished speaking, he turned around and walked onto the Galen ship and entered the cabin.
"Let's go, you kid is lucky. Remember to find the ship and go to Manhattan in the north. We have a port there, and the ship you brought can be loaded first."
Wang Shan raised his hand and patted the bearded man on the shoulder.
The port started to get busy. The ceramics brought by Zhao Hongyu began to be unloaded from the ship. The other party was at the port.
After the governor and the bearded captain left, some bolder young men and girls gathered around and asked some questions.
Are you still recruiting troops?
How much salary do you get per month?
Sir, you are so beautiful. Can we be friends?
Sir, my name is Jenny. I have a tavern next to my house. Can I buy you a drink?
What¡¯s your name girl? You look good.
When Williams and the bearded captain left, Zhao Hongyu walked out of the cabin again.
He stood on the deck and leaned against the guardrail, looking at the young men and girls below, and asked various questions to the genetic man.
Zhao Hongyu listened for a while, and he felt that in the future, he might not be able to implement a diversified public model in his own territory.
Isn¡¯t the United States of the future such a country?
As long as you continue to brainwash the people, they may not be able to be loyal to you and fight for yourself.
As long as you give them enough benefits and benefits, you will still have a good life.
Coupled with some brainwashing policies, this is not impossible to achieve.??.
Europeans in this era are not as loyal to their country as they were in later generations.
"We are still in an age where we are willing to sacrifice our lives for whoever offers benefits. If we don't take advantage of this trend, wouldn't we be calling ourselves a fool?"
"Wang Shan!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu shouted.
Wang Shan trotted all the way to the boat and stood in front of Zhao Hongyu.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
Now Wang Shan has begun to slowly change his name.
¡°Since Zhao Hongyu told the British that he was the crown prince, then their subordinates must start to get used to the identity of the leader, but they cannot make mistakes here.
"You tell everyone that you can answer the questions of those young men and girls, and tell them that we can accept them as soldiers. And after serving as soldiers for three years, they will become citizens of the Song Empire and enjoy civil rights."
"Your Majesty, what are the civil rights of our empire?"
Wang Shan asked strangely.
"How do I know? I just said it casually. But if they want to ask, just tell them that there are many benefits of being a citizen. We will start discussing this issue after we go back, but now we have to use it to fool them. "
Zhao Hongyu gestured to the men and women below with his eyes.
"Oh, Your Majesty, are you trying to kidnap people again?" Wang Shan smiled evilly.
After understanding Zhao Hongyu¡¯s plan, Wang Shan knew what to do.
Let these British boys and girls join their diverse empire?
Wang Shan has no objection at all, because it is good for Zhao Hongyu.
So, after Wang Shan conveyed this order, the genetic people understood this one by one.
Wow! Do you have a salary of twelve silver coins a month?
When the geneticists told them their salaries, the girls¡¯ eyes began to shine one by one.
The boys began to swallow their saliva after talking to each other.
You know, at this time, working in the UK, you can only get a salary of 5 shillings a month.
What can five shillings buy?
It¡¯s just a matter of trying not to starve to death.
The Gene Fever warriors took out their silver coins to show off.
This kind of silver coin is extremely pure, and one coin is worth three shillings.
It can be said that the monthly salary of soldiers of the Song Empire is absolutely unimaginable in the UK.
This kind of man is definitely a good candidate for a husband.
This is not even more shocking. When people heard about what happened in Manhattan, these people kept making sounds of wonder and exclamation.
"If you are interested, you can come to Manhattan to sign up. People who do small business can also come to Manhattan, we have shops there."
How could you not be interested? This interest is too great.
The soldiers in Manhattan are well paid.
Therefore, it can be proved that people in Manhattan have very strong consumption power.
The businessmen were also moved.
Some people even decided to visit Manhattan the next day.
As for the fact that the two sides were still at war a month ago, everyone has long forgotten it.
Making money is what is important, and God will step aside for the sake of money.
Manhattan also needs labor. If you know carpentry or other skills, you can go there. The wages offered in Manhattan are very high.
This has made a group of people more excited.
¡°Sir, what are the benefits of becoming a citizen?¡±
Some young people have no relatives in the American continent and came here from England just to find a way to survive.
??This is similar to Chelsea.
Therefore, they can work for anyone, as long as the other party pays enough to rent.
Therefore, they are very curious about the benefits of becoming a citizen.
"Well, after you become a citizen, it will be much cheaper for you to buy things. Although the limit is limited, you can enjoy the preferential policies for citizens." Wang Shan made up temporarily. "And after becoming a citizen, the taxes you have to pay will be much less."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The young man who was originally a little excited, now wishes he could go to Manhattan to serve as a soldier.
The tax alone makes them excited.
UK Mainland and EuropeNot to mention, the city of Yaksali alone has a wide variety of taxes.
City entry tax! City tax! Road tax¡ wait!
And what about Manhattan?
It¡¯s not a lot. It only charges one type of tax for each industry!
It¡¯s only 20% of your turnover.
The personal income tax is also 20, and there are no other taxes at all.
Although it seems like a lot at first glance, if you calculate it carefully, it is really a very good tax policy.
At least, this is the least tax policy the British have ever seen.
Therefore, many people are tempted and want to visit Manhattan.
Some people even think that serving as a soldier in Manhattan for three years and becoming a citizen is a good choice. As for them, they have not considered the question of whether they are British at all.
You should know that as a British person on the European continent, it is not impossible to serve as a soldier for France and fight against the British.
In every war, it is very normal for our own people to serve as soldiers of the enemy's country to fight against their own country's army.
The reason is very simple. The enemy gives us a lot of money.
"Let's stop here for one night to give some gene people a holiday. Let them have a good rest in Yaksali City and spend some money on the way."
After Zhao Hongyu gave instructions, he returned to the cabin again.
Wang Shan gave a holiday to ordinary Lao Hei and half of the Gurkhas, and asked them to go to the city to play.
Wang Shan is of course very clear about Zhao Hongyu¡¯s plan.
¡°It¡¯s just a matter of showing the rubes and showing them the many benefits of being a soldier in Manhattan.
By then, it would be even better to attract some regular British soldiers to join them.
Through conversations with the residents of Yaksali City, Wang Shan learned about the income of British soldiers.
"These guys work hard for the country, and the monthly salary they get is only a measly eight shillings.
Although it is higher than that in the UK, the equivalent salary in Manhattan is only two and a half silver coins.
Even if personal income tax is deducted, the salary of soldiers in Manhattan is three or even four times higher than theirs.
Therefore, Wang Shan feels that these guys are probably attracted to Manhattan by this high-paying job.
As for the impact on Yaksali City after the elite soldiers leave, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan will not consider it.
Let the British worry about it. They are not so free, nor are they so full and stuffed.
"Your Majesty, is this peaceful evolution?"
After seeing off the two groups of captains, Wang Shan sat down and asked.
"You can say that, but I don't think I did anything wrong." Zhao Hongyu shrugged. Wang Shan looked at Zhao Hongyu with a smirk on his face, "Killing people with soft knives is a clever trick. When we weaken their strength, we can also make money at the same time. The British have been tricked and they still call us daddy. It's really cool." .¡±
Zhao Hongyu couldn¡¯t laugh or cry after hearing this.
"Don't flatter me. It was just a temporary idea. But I didn't think of this method and the possible consequences in advance."
Yes, if you hadn¡¯t seen those young men and women, they would be very interested in the genetic soldiers. Zhao Hongyu would not ask Wang Shan to cooperate on a temporary basis. These were all accidental.
But after talking with Wang Shan, he suddenly discovered that the most likely consequence of doing so would be to turn the British into his people and break with the motherland.
"But this has nothing to do with them. Who makes Zhao Hongyu have more money?"
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the genetic people on vacation returned to the port one after another.
When some people came back, there were actually some tender girls following behind them.
It can be seen that a lot of things happened this night.
"Raise anchor! Set sail!"
From the perspective of Zhao Hongyu, Yaksali City is just a rural village, and he has no interest in staying here.
Since the purpose of his coming here has been achieved, there is no need for them to stay.
Some seeds of hope have been sown, and then he has to see what kind of fruits they can bear.
The girls on the pier said goodbye one by one, shouting the names of their lovers.
¡°Remember to come to Manhattan to find me, I¡¯ll wait for you!¡±
On the deck, the geneticists also shouted for the first time.
"Who says they are dull? Look at how active they are after they have a woman."
Zhao Hongyu whispered to Wang Shan.
¡°What they mean by being dull is that they are single-minded and follow orders meticulously, but their intelligence is still normal and they are not the kind of congenital idiots.¡±
Wang Shan replied dumbfounded.
"Anyway, let's see the next result now. If my prediction is good, we will know the answer in about a week or half a month."
"Your Majesty, there are many carpenters and blacksmiths in Yaxali City. If these people also come to Manhattan, it will be of great benefit to us."
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Needless to say the role of carpenters, the more the better. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to build a ship. If you fail a few times, you can probably learn the ropes. But when the blacksmith comes, we have a headache, because we don't have one there. Iron."
"Chief, how about we consider the Great Lakes region? That is a famous iron ore raw material mining area." Wang Shan reminded. (To be continued.
