Chapter 133: The Mystical and Erudite Scholar of Seris

10 Downing Street, although people have always regarded this as the Prime Minister's official residence in later generations, but in fact, 10 Downing Street and the house behind the palace it includes are not the official residence of the Prime Minister, but belong to the First Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Since the first Chancellor of the Exchequer in British history is generally concurrently held by the Prime Minister, it has become the synonym of the Prime Minister's Office.

William. Pie sat in a wide chair in the Prime Minister's office, and as the son of the Earl of Chatham, his father, the Earl of Chatham, was usually referred to as William the Elder. Pete, who called him William. Peter.

William the Elder. Pitt is a very famous politician in British history, it was he who led Britain in the Seven Years' War, beat France all over the head, and made the French lose large colonies in Africa, India, and North America, and was one of the most respected politicians of the British.

And William, who grew up under the halo of his father. Pete was not a child, but a man who, like his father, had a long-term vision and political vision.

You must know that he is only twenty-five years old now, and he has been the Prime Minister of Britain for two years, and he is also one of the great prime ministers recognized in British history.

"Wilbur, come here, come and see this proposal, what a surprise!" William. Pete raised the thick paper in his hand and turned to his close friend William, who had just entered the door. Wilberforce shouted.

"As for India's five-year plan and development prospects, well, have you finally decided to start working with the East India Company? Those guys are really not talking! ”

William. Wilberforce had an excited smile on his face, except for William. In addition to being a close friend, Pitt is known in British history for the abolition of slavery and the slave trade.

For the newspaper about Warren. Hastings was furious that he had turned all the natives into slaves in India, and that the East India Company had a long tradition of dealing in slaves. Wilberforce has been egging on William. Pitt reorganizes the East India Company.

But look at it, William. Wilberforce's brow furrowed, for the Indians described in this well-documented and well-founded report were nothing he had known from the newspapers and from the mouths of many Whig members of the House of Commons!

In this report, Britain's rule over India not only did not enslave the natives, but provided them with a relatively easy living and living environment, and he was even more moved by the reference to India as a supplier of British raw materials and a dumping ground for goods.

"Who wrote this? Pete, you should hire him to work at 10 Downing Street, this guy is definitely a very good policymaker. ”

William. Wilberforce looked at his close friend as his eyes lit up, and suddenly his face changed.

"It's not going to be that Warren. Hastings wrote it, right? But what about the fact that I heard him as a slave owner who was willing to accept bribes and was extremely cruel? ”

William. Wilberforce flipped to the last page, and it read Author Zinedin, Warren. Hastings, assisted by Jenna. Hastings.

Sure enough, Wilberforce's brow furrowed, but he was soon attracted to the name Zinedin, a strange French name, and just a lonely word, without a surname.

"A Frenchman? Why are there no surnames and others? It's so weird! ”

"The strangest thing you don't know is that this report was handed to me by the king's aide-de-camp, Baron Rodon, according to him, this Zinedin is not a Frenchman, but an Oriental from the Qing Kingdom!"

Baron Rawton was the first Marquess of Hastings. Rawdon. Hastings, the lieutenant of George III's cronies who was born and died on the battlefield in North America, is also believed to have some kind of connection with the Hastings family!

He's still called Francis. Rawton, who would not change his surname to Hastings until 1789, was a man of the same experience, and Baron Rawton was Warren. Hastings was the only big man he could rely on after losing the line of Lord North.

"Orientals? Where is he? I must see it! Is he from the mysterious and rich kingdom of Seris? ”

William. Wilberforce was pleasantly surprised and asked, it was a wonderful thing to meet a Seris man from London.

"I'd love to see it too, but this Seris is still adrift at sea, or you can come with me to see His Majesty the King now, I think this will be very useful for India's future planning, and he will be a strong guide on how we rule India."

When Ye Kai was still adrift on the sea in West Africa, Jenna Niu had already arrived in London, and when she passed by the Cape of Good Hope, she changed to the Navy's clipper.

Afraid that the board of directors of the East India Company had already made a decision, Anna traveled lightly and arrived in London a month and a half ahead of schedule, where she was standing at the window looking out at the street at 10 Downing Street. What will Prime Minister Pitt react to when he receives the proposal?

。。。。

In October 1785, ten months after Ye Kai's departure from Sattahip, Le Havre, France, a famous seaport city located at the mouth of the Seine, belonging to the Hauts-Normandy region and the Seine-Maritimes, is now as lively as a festival.

People from places like Paris and even Orleans crowded the wide harbor, all dressed up.

In the heart of the port, the fleur-de-lis flag, a symbol of the Bourbon dynasty, was raised, and dozens of members of the King's Guard, dressed in blue uniforms, surrounded His Majesty King Louis XVI and Queen Marie. Antonin-watt's personal representative, as well as high-ranking officials and nobles such as the Minister of Finance, Neck, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and even the famous brother of the king, the Count of Provence, who liked to join in the fun, came in person.

Such a large lineup, not only because this is the first time that Europe has welcomed a prince from the East, but also because there is a mysterious Seris scholar on this ship.

The scholar was so knowledgeable that he helped the British Governor William Fort William when he was passing through India and drew up a plan for the development of India, which King George III had read with great admiration and had used it as a guide for British rule in India, and the contents were kept strictly secret.

The French only knew that the English factory owners on the other side of the river were already investing in factories like crazy, and they were about to make a fortune.

Even as they passed near the Strait of Gibraltar, the Britons sent a fleet to snatch the mysterious Serris scholar to London.

Of course, the heroic French Navy would never allow such a thing to happen, in the heroic captain Louis . Thomas. Villaret. Under Joyce's leadership, they successfully repelled the attempts of the British Navy, and the glory belonged to the French Navy!

In the lounge of the battleship Wuwang, Ye Kai looked at Anna Niu with a serious expression, there were several cups in front of Anna Niu, which were filled with all kinds of ingredients, and in the middle of the table, a cup of brown milk tea was ready.

This is Ye Kai's guidance, Anna's hand-made milk tea, will appear in their hands in the eighteenth century, Ye Kai believes that those French people who like food and sweets must not be able to resist its charm!
