It's a cowardice of homesickness!

With two sailors, Costet stood in front of a house on the edge of the canal, faltering.

This is his home, and after many years, he is back.

How are the families doing? Are they living well?

At that time, there was no post office and no money transfers, and Costet asked the Dutch folks to bring money back to their hometowns, but the sea was vast, and the Dutch folks sailed back to the West from the East to five captains, and none of them returned to the East, let alone any news of his family.

So Costet was worried about the gains and losses.

Passers-by looked strangely at a tribesman dressed in a distinctive attire, and next to two Chinese.

At this moment, someone on the back of Costeit tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Costeit, are you back?" ”

Costet turned his head to see that it was a sturdy and fat uncle greeting him, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Matheson, it's you!" ”

It was the neighbors, and the two hugged each other affectionately.

"You're finally back! Why, made a fortune in the East? Matheson asked.

"Hey, hey, eat with a mouthful." Costit said perfunctorily and asked in a trembling voice, "How is my family?" ”

"Very good, the family is fine, Yunni (Costet's daughter-in-law) gave birth to a second one last month, a daughter, the last one is a son, and you have grandchildren!" Matheson told him.

Costet couldn't help but be overjoyed!

"Come on!" Matheson dragged him to the house, and Kaustet couldn't help but follow.

Matheson raised his voice and said, "Look who's back!" ”

The family in the house came out and was pleasantly surprised!

Costet finally met his family, his wife, children, and grandchildren, and he was happy!

His wife Ellina, his eldest son Francisco, his youngest son Pablo, and his newborn granddaughter were in his arms.

He has consigned money five times, and three times it has been delivered to his family, and his family is not doing well or badly.

This time it was different, he brought back a large amount of gold and silver, gave it to his wife to put away, and then took out tea, toffee, and silk and gave them to the neighbors to thank them for their help to the family over the years.

When many people heard that he was back, they rushed to his house, and Costet's house was bustling!

He stayed at home for a few days and enjoyed his family.

Then he visited the red-haired families in the southeast province from house to house, and sent them letters and gold and silver!

Some families are shattered and cannot be found, but most people's families still exist, and they are surprised and delighted to receive news from their distant family members!

They wrote letters home and brought them back.

Finally, when he left his hometown and returned to the East, Costet took his youngest son, two relatives, and a dozen villagers, all of whom were good boys, to take them with him.

Costet values the development ability of the Southeast Province, and does not take advantage of the time when the Southeast Province is making great progress, it can be regarded as a halfway send-off, once the overall situation is decided, there will be no oil and water.

Costeit is so optimistic about the future of the Southeast Mansion, the stick boys he brought back joined the Southeast Mansion, swore naturalization, became a member of the Chinese, joined the Southeast Army, and finally became famous!

When he was in the Netherlands, he made a new contribution.

I assisted in acquiring the technique of clockmaking!

I got the technology to make glass!

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, with the entry of European missionaries into China and the opening of trade in Guangzhou, Western clocks and watches began to enter China as gifts and commodities. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, Western clocks and watches had not only been widely known by people from all walks of life, but also had Chinese people learning clock technology and imitating production.

But their clocks are the kind of clocks that are directly wound and need a driving mechanism to push the symmetrical crosswall, the accuracy is poor, the best technology is still in the West, in Amsterdam, Costet repeatedly compared, found the best local clockmaker An Likui, his technical level is close to the later "single pendulum mechanical clock"!

That clock has a pendulum, and gravity swings there. (In 1657, it was also the Dutchman Huygens who introduced the gravitational pendulum to the mechanical clock)

This is the best mechanical clock of that period, made according to the law of single pendulum, using a pendulum to control other parts, so that the clock goes fast and slow evenly, with high precision and accurate timing.

An Likui felt very confused, came to a few guests, swept away the clocks in his store, and bought them all, and then the guests wanted to buy eggs in addition to eggs, but also wanted to buy chickens with raw eggs, and wanted to invite An Likui to work in the East and give a high price!

Although it can be disassembled to imitate, but please go to the technician, you can avoid detours, money, not a problem!

The leaders of the southeastern province are frugal, but they are generous in terms of knowledge and technology.

Anriqui was reluctant to leave his hometown, he recommended his son, and his son had his skills and was willing to go to foreign countries, so the Chinese returned satisfied.

In addition to horological technology, there is also glass technology!

The Egyptians invented glass a long time ago, and later introduced it to the European continent, and the Italians at that time even gathered glassmakers on a single island to keep it a secret.

However, there are all impermeable walls in the world, and glass technology eventually spread to the European continent, and now the Chinese are here.

China has always had colored glass, which is mostly used for decoration, and requires the kind of glass technology of the West.

The Chinese recruited several skilled glass craftsmen and lured them with high salaries to take them to the East.

There were no technical patent restrictions in those days, and the kings despised the craftsmen, so the Chinese did not have much to achieve their goals.

In the Age of Discovery, Hongmao Fan was not interested in going abroad.

There is a difference between having Coustit and not having Costeite, and if the yellow Chinese rashly come to the door and say that they want to invite them to go abroad, I am afraid it may not be possible.

But it was very different with Costet coming forward, he patted his chest and vouched, and the red-haired fan was gone.

Europe has developed to the present, and many aspects have their own uniqueness, so this time, the visiting Chinese went everywhere to search for the experts, craftsmen and technology they needed, and they got mechanical technology, glass technology, and thus telescope manufacturing technology!

These people were very important, and the Chinese hired two Dutch ocean-going ships at a high price, hired the best sailors, and sent them back to the East, along with the red-haired boys.

For this matter, Costeit stopped the voyage halfway, personally led the team, and returned home by the African route.

There was a platoon of officers and men who followed Kaustit away to protect the talent.

He went to England and France again, presided over the opening ceremony of the embassy there, and then returned to the Netherlands and presided over the opening ceremony of the embassy in the Netherlands.

It's just that the number is not much, after all, the Chinese people in Southeast Asia live a good life, as long as they are diligent, they have a good life, why go to a foreign country to beg for a living!

At that time, Southeast Asia was like a lighthouse country, and the Chinese were very bullish, but there were a large number of Hongmao Fan naturalized southeast provinces, as the Chinese small followers of the Japanese country, Korea, Annam, Ryukyu and other countries, they also dreamed of getting a household registration book of the southeast province!
