Chapter 151: The Kingdom of Seris Has Disappeared
It's done!
In the laboratory of Medon Castle, Ye Kai clenched his fist excitedly, in order to recall that he had studied chemistry and other knowledge, he was about to drain his brain.
However, the results are not bad, after I don't know how many failures, Ye Kai finally extracted berberine hydrochloride.
It's just that there are too few coptis, cork and prickly phellodendron in Europe, and the extracted berberine needs to be taken in large doses to have an effect, and it seems that the idea of wanting to immediately increase the production of berberine hydrochloride is not realistic, so I can only continue to think of ways from other aspects.
In other words, China in this era is really rich! Ye Kai has known since he came to Europe that compared with these small European countries, China's current advantages can be described as unique!
Rhubarb, tea, cane sugar, porcelain, all of which are inseparable from Europe's fist products, and they are the only ones, bringing immeasurable silver inflows to China every year.
It is no wonder that the attitude of Britain and France towards China is one with a little fear in their eyes, and to tell the truth, a country with a population of 400 million, more than 1,000 square kilometers, an army and navy of more than 2 million, and an annual fiscal income of 50 or 60 million taels of silver, is absolutely invincible if you only look at the surface.
Also, Ye Kai twisted yellow berberine, he estimated that after his pharmaceutical factory was put into production, the export of Coptis chinensis and Phellodendron alone may reach millions of pounds every year, which is terrible to think about!
However, this may also lead to the early tentative aggression of Britain against China, after all, Great Britain can endure everything, but not the trade deficit!
Little Trianon, this is the second time that Ye Kai has returned here after leaving with Ruan Fujing three months ago, although he has only been away for less than three months, it is obvious that the Little Trianon Palace has become more luxurious.
O Queen Mary! Ye Kai sighed, is this woman's reaction really so slow?
In just a few months, she spent as much as 760,000 livres on the renovation of the Petit Trianon.
At the same time, supporting Nguyen Phuc Anh and even establishing a base for France in Quang Nam, such a big thing, Peter has already cut the funds to 1.8 million liveres, and the Minister of Finance, Neck, still feels that it is too much.
"Your Excellency the Marquis, please come with me, the queen is waiting for you!" Franz, the butler of the little Trianon, gracefully bent down and led the leaf inside.
"Okay!" Ye Kai pretended to be calm and nodded, although he had already produced diethylxmorphine and berberine hydrochloride, he didn't dare to apply for a patent now.
And he wasn't quite sure, with Queen Mary's arrogant personality and simple mind, could she realize the great significance of these two drugs?
What if she doesn't like it, or doesn't care?
Ye Kai didn't want to go back to Pattani bare-handed!
A large chaise longue, and an even wider skirt, so much so that this oversized skirt, which was all lace and bow, had covered most of the chaise longue.
The high bun, lilac hat, lilac scarf, and the posture of Queen Mary, who is not very tall, shrunk in a chair under the bright whale oil lamp, have an extremely quiet beauty!
…
Ye Kai looked at the room in amazement, he asked Mrs. Polyna to arrange an opportunity to meet the queen or a dinner party as much as possible, but he didn't expect to be brought here directly!
It was clearly a small room for rest and entertainment, with a thick carpet underfoot, beautifully carved frescoes all around, and a vague fragrance wafting through the room.
"Hmm..!" A long, soft grunt that seemed to come out of the nose, "Come here!" The slender white hand beckoned to Ye, but Queen Mary still didn't get up.
Ye Kai walked over gently, he took Queen Mary's hand and kissed it lightly on the back of his hand.
To be honest, this French queen from the Habsburg family is not very beautiful, with an oval face, a flat forehead, slightly red cheeks, and slightly thick lips, typical of the Habsburg appearance of Empress Teresa.
There really wasn't much to praise other than those azure eyes and deep career lines.
But the family is of noble birth! This is one of the most powerful kingdoms in Europe, the queen of France, her mother is the famous Empress Teresa of Austria, several brothers-in-law are either the governor of the Netherlands or the king of Naples, and her brother is now the emperor of the HRE, Joseph II.
It is said that the six-year-old Mozart met the seven-year-old Marie for the first time. When Antoinette was in power, he was fascinated by her nobility, and said in all seriousness that he wanted to marry her.
Ye Kai feels like this now, if you use the 100-point system to score Queen Mary, Ye Kai feels that she can score 6065 points at most, but her bloodline and status have added more than 100 points to her!
However, thinking of the fate of this noble queen a few years later, Ye Kai sighed in his heart.
Her fate, even as a man, Ye Kai, who has begun to learn to ignore life in order to succeed, and kills one out of ten at every turn, can't bear to see it.
During the Revolution, Mary. Antoinette's torture was inhuman, she was imprisoned, tried, turned white overnight, and finally thrown into mass graves, where her body was not collected until decades later.
Her eldest daughter, Mary. Teresa. Charlotte, beaten and taken by more than a dozen mobs and jailers.
His poor son, Louis XVII, was imprisoned, fed only two meals a day, often filled with garbage and excrement, and finally died a tragic death with his limbs cut off when he was emaciated, and Louis XVII was forced to confess in court that his mother, Queen Marie, had often molested him, and that he had had a mess with his mother.
If in terms of history or social progress, the French Revolution is indeed of positive significance, but Queen Mary's family has paid too much price for the current luxury life!
What's more, the current bad situation in France is not caused by their family, and it cannot be solved by killing their family.
"Mr. Zinedin! Aren't all Seris as tall and masculine as you! ”
Queen Mary sat up at last, the masculine charm tail long, full of hints that she could not yet imagine what would happen to her in a few years.
"No, my Majesty, although the legend of Seris is still tung in Europa, in fact, the real Kingdom of Seris has disappeared for more than a hundred years!" Ye Kai half-knelt down and continued to hold the queen's hand and kiss it.
…
"Gone?" Queen Mary covered her mouth with her other hand in surprise.
"No, it won't! So many people portray Seris as heavenly, and you say he's gone? ”
"Yes, my majesty, Seris ceased to exist in 1662 after the last emperor of Seris, His Majesty the Emperor of Yongli, was killed by the rebels who surrendered to the Tatars.
It is the Qing Dynasty that now rules Seris, but they are only the descendants of Tatar traitors who live in the northeast of the kingdom, and they have imposed a terrifying and oppressive rule, and the prosperous and free Ceris kingdom no longer exists! ”
"I have also heard this kind of statement, the nobles who have returned from India say that the Qing dynasty, which ruled the Seris, was a colonial dynasty established by the Tatars, and this is a disaster! Just like the Holy Roman Empire, which now has only a name left! Queen Mary looked at Ye Kai with sympathy and nodded in agreement.
"I heard from Lady Ayanri that you are not from the Qing Kingdom, but a remnant of the Ceris Kingdom? You still have the royal blood of the ancient Ceris Kingdom in you? ”
A little sympathy, Queen Mary turned her attention to Ye Kai himself, bloodline is still very marketable in today's Europe, if Ye Kai did not have the marquis title of Guangnan Kingdom, and the royal blood of Seris that Anna preached for her, Queen Mary would never meet him in this situation.
"Yes, Your Majesty, my grandmother is the last direct bloodline of the former Emperor Ceris Emperor Shaowu!" Ye Kai nodded and replied.
"Oh well! Your Excellency the Marquis, can you dance with me? Queen Mary nodded in satisfaction, and with a wave of her hand, the music began to play.
At this time, Ye Kai discovered that behind the screen in this room, there was still a small band!
