The second batch of technical wood support team to Jiangnan was formally established, and the machinery factory started to manufacture 4 Albion-style printing presses and 2 lithographic printing machines, "and at the same time built 1 small water turbine, a water turbine can also be manufactured according to the level of craftsmen at that time", but in terms of efficiency, it is much worse than the water turbine manufactured by the machinery factory of machinery manufacturing, "the water turbine manufactured by Lingao has better speed change and transmission system"

It's not a hand-built turbine that can be compared.

All the equipment was dismantled and packed into boxes. At the same time, the assembly tools required for equipment and some vulnerable spare parts, slate for lithographic printing, engraving pens, corrosives and protective agents are also shipped. Originally, Mo Xiaoan proposed to build a paper mill in Hangzhou. The equipment needed for a paper mill is simple. The process is also not complicated. A large amount of straw on the Hangjiahu Plain and bamboo and wood resources in mountainous counties can provide sufficient raw materials for papermaking.

Papermaking can not only be supplied for printing, "can also be sold on the spot, Hangzhou was an important well paper distribution center at that time", high-quality paper is not worried, there is no market. Papermaking is also not a lucrative industry, "few gentry and big gentry intervene." According to Zhao Yinggong's observations, "most of the paper mills are small cottage industry production", and most of them are distributed in Yuhang, Lin'an, and these mountainous counties near Hangzhou, and "the paper produced is then trafficked to Hangzhou by traders for sale", which poses no threat to Zhao Yinggong's industry.

However, the modern paper industry needs a large amount of acid and alkali, and "Lingao cannot supply chemicals remotely", so Mo Xiaoan's motion is temporarily shelved.

The delegation to Jiangnan was composed of four veterans including Zhou Dongtian. I heard that there is an opportunity to go to Gangnam. Many people are jumping to try this kind of business trip that is not very risky, isn't it a great opportunity to go to Jiangnan. Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty is said to be "the land of dreams,. "Many people have heard of Qin Huai Bayan", and those who have read a little bit of ancient books also know that there are Yangzhou thin horses. One by one, I can't help but jump yù try.

Mei Lin heard that there was a Jiangnan inspection group, "hurriedly looked for Mei Wan, and asked to go with him in tears."

His reasons are also sufficient, since Zhao Yinggong wants to build a manor, "How can the construction company not be launched?" Building a house the way a local craftsman does it "is a waste of land, space and building materials."

"My waist is good" My waist is good. Merlin said, "I'm going to make Phoenix Manor a ...... impregnable fortress," Merlin said.

Mei Wan was entangled by him, and she couldn't "have to say: "I have to remind you" that "this time we must go to Hangzhou" or not, it is not certain whether we will go to Nanjing. ，。

Merlin coveted Qin Huai Bayan, and everyone in the Senate knew that for this Bayan, "he didn't even buy a living secretary." Seen as a monster. Now that he is so active that he wants to go to Jiangnan, everyone knows his drunkard's intentions.

, "It's okay" It's okay to go to Hangzhou, "It's okay to go to Hangzhou...... Well, "good craftsman...... Xiangshan craftsman ......,.

"If you're so positive, go ahead. ，。 Merlin was one of his "generals." "I am very positive at work on weekdays," I can't help but say. What's more, this kind of thing that sticks people's necks on women is the most hated," Mei Wan felt that the reason for helping to build a house was also reasonable anyway. He immediately agreed to try to recommend him to the delegation.

"And one more thing: "Do you know how to exchange my circulation voucher for silver?" ，。

Merlin asked seriously, "Or gold." ，。

"What are you going to do?" ，。 Mei Wan was strange, the elders were not allowed to hold precious metals, "if you want to use silver or gold, you must apply for approval", "the travel expenses will be allocated", you don't have to bother. ”。

Merlin cowardly said, "No," I thought that if I needed to redeem my silver, I didn't know how much silver it would take to .......

Mei Wan was stunned for a moment, "No, do you really have this idea?" ”。

Zuihou: One of the people who went to Hangzhou was a missionary who was preaching in Lingao, "or Father Trie." This time, he went to Hangzhou to contact the local church" Jin Lige was very excited about this: he was in Europe to this Marco Bōlo so-called, "the city of heaven." "Now I have the opportunity to go to Hangzhou and meet the lambs of the Holy Church founded by Father Kinnige in person."

The Foreign Intelligence Service was not afraid of trouble to bring him in because it was prepared to use the influence of the Jesuits. The Catholic Church in Hangzhou had a number of influential gentry in the area, although Yang Tingyun and Li Zhizao died in 1627 and 1630 respectively. But they are all natives of Hangzhou: Yang Tingyun is from Qiantang County, and Li Zhizao is from Renhe County. There are many of their relatives and friends who believe in Catholicism, and "the Jesuits are quite shili in Hangzhou. So much so that during the time of the Nanjing Missionary Order, "the Shanghai and Hangzhou missionaries were the safest places for foreign missionaries at that time.

Zhao Yinggong is currently an outsider in Hangzhou, "lacking sufficient influence and protective umbrella." The Shili built up by the Jesuits in the area can be of great use. And you can also use this relationship to connect with Xu Guangqi below.

Xu Guangqi had a close relationship with Sun Fanghua, an important player in the upcoming Dengzhou Rebellion, and both were Catholics. Hooking up on this relationship is of great benefit for future events.

"Wouldn't this be Zhao Yinggong's Catholic? That's not right. And the relationship with the Catholic Church is too deep" and the influence on the ground is not good. He Ying said when approving the application of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau.

"Zhao Yinggong doesn't need to be a Catholic, and he doesn't need to have a deep relationship. As long as he shows kindness and some kind of "interest" in the church. That's it. The Jesuits were very up-to-date. The Catholic gentry in Hangzhou will be urged to act as a protective umbrella, and they know very well that "we must open up the situation in China." Now it is mainly our force that depends on it. Li Yan explained, "According to the "Compilation of Jesuit Missionaries and Macao Letters" given to us by the General Administration of Political Security. They now have their best hope for spreading Catholicism in China. They will do their best to meet any of our requests.

As long as Zhao Yinggong was introduced by the Jesuits, he could be taken care of by this group of Hangzhou Catholic gentry", which was beneficial to his activities in Hangzhou. ”

"Zhao Yinggong is planning to call himself the Great Song Dynasty," He Ying's implication was that it was very inappropriate for the dignified Great Song Dynasty clan to get involved with foreign religions, and that there would be flaws in "political correctness."

"About the identity of the Great Song Clan. I think it's a little flawed and good for everyone. Li Yan said, "In addition, I have already said" that there is no need for him to be baptized, as long as the Jesuits come forward to introduce the two sides and establish a friendly relationship.

In the long run, it is not advisable to let Zhao Yingong and the church in Hangzhou get too entangled. My opinion is that among his attaché there should be a naturalized Catholic "as a conduit for establishing relations with the Church in Hangzhou." ”

"Is this man reliable?"

"Of course reliable" this is a person trained by our intelligence service. ”

Father Trigg knew nothing about the senators' ideas. I was very excited to prepare my own outfits. Of course. In advance, he was also warned by He Ying: You can't leak the bow from Lingao. It can only be done in accordance with the unified voice of foreign intelligence.

"You know" we are now in a very delicate situation on the mainland. If the identity of a certain patriarch is revealed, "it will not only have a negative impact on our cause, but it will also have unpredictable and serious consequences for the missionary cause. He Ying said, "I hope you understand what I mean. ”

Fr. Trige was perfectly able to grasp this diplomatic terminology, and the Jesuits were not so sentimental as to think that Australians were devout and intended to act as a "Catholic senate".

In the final analysis, the cooperation between the two sides is a mutually beneficial relationship. Therefore, he made it very clear that all his words and deeds would be carried out in accordance with the intention of the "leader" of the delegation.

In addition to the Jesuit channel, "it is also necessary to use the bookstore as soon as possible to establish its reputation." Therefore, Zhao Yinggong's library and bookstore must be fully different from the usual, just like the rapid rise of Zizi in Guangzhou. So this time, we are also going to ship a number of "Australian building materials" and enjoyment items "including cement, tiles, plumbing hardware, glass, etc.", of course, there is also the need for the Hangzhou station itself.

Although some veterans raised the question of whether the use of a large number of Australian goods to make "Australia" sè color is heavy, "Li Yan believes that the problem is not big", and the reputation of "Australian goods" is not only famous in Guangdong. Even in Gangnam and Kyoshi, it has become famous. Zhao Yinggong's identity is Young Master Kuo of Sanshui County, Guangdong, "It's not surprising that you get a lot" to enjoy in Australia, and it makes perfect sense in terms of reason.

Because of the large number of goods and people transported this time, "in particular, there are a lot of heavy goods. It's too slow to go by land. The Jiangnan delegation decided to take the sea ship of **ō shipping.

"What if I meet Zheng Zhilong?" This is a question that everyone is concerned about. Zheng Zhilong now has complete control of the Fujian Ocean, "which is tantamount to choking the main route to the north by sea."

On how to deal with Zheng Zhilong" has been a hot topic of debate between the Senate and the Navy. Not only did there be a need to transport goods to Jiangnan this time, but the future involvement in the Dengzhou Rebellion and the human trade with the Manchus may involve Zheng Zhilong's specific attitude. Some people think that they can temporarily pay tolls "in exchange for temporary peaceful transportation", and others think that they can start the attack on Zheng Zhilong now. Remove this obstacle once and for all.

Zheng Zhilong was mainly concerned with the ships that monopolized foreign trade, especially the trade routes to Japan and the Philippines. History does not mention any monopoly on the coastal shipping routes. Moreover, with Zheng Zhilong's strength, he may not be able to effectively block the route. At present, the news we have heard from merchants in Guangdong and other places also shows that "there is no evidence that Zheng Zhilong collects toll taxes on coastal routes." What we have to worry about is the sporadic piracy on the coastal routes, robbing Zheng Zhilong's maritime supremacy @.
