However, counting the days, it is time to come.

However, just looking at the ceremony on the surface, Xu Hao's welcome is still very sincere.

Purely in terms of national strength and financial resources, the Netherlands in this era is definitely the most powerful existence in Europe, compared to the time of later generations, in terms of land area, its southern provinces have not yet broken away from Belgium, many provinces have not thought about independence, but began to find ways to make money overseas, the East India Company, the source of interests of the whole class, can be said to feed a large number of rentiers, that is, relying on the money invested in the East India Company by the previous generation, you can live a very nourishing life.

This kind of money carries a lot of blood, but the effect is also that there is a large number of high-quality off-duty people in the country.

This is almost very important, unlike the blind streams, people who have no financial worries may become children who only know how to have fun, but if some of them are a little interested, and then learn all kinds of scientific knowledge, literature and art, then it is a model to give back to the world.

The reason is simple, scientific research is an industry full of uncertainty and high investment, maybe it is possible to spend ten years on it, and if there is no other injection of funds, how can it be maintained by interest alone?

This is also why, in the 17th century, the progress of European science, what about capitalism, at that time they had any serious factories, they were all directly shot, it was clear that the overseas plundering profits supported the research of science and technology, and the need for plunder, must strengthen the power of science and technology, in order to suppress the number of natives who are 100 times more than them, this cycle gradually got on the right track, and then there was the rhythm of industrialization.

This is also why, Nordic University has some background, even in Xu Hao himself, he is very surprised.

Regarding the relationship between blood type and genes, Xu Hao simply gave some explanations to Portugal, and then, soon with countless dog blood stories, the nobles who wore cuckolds naturally began to bite, and the guys who cuckolded people often have one at home, although most people are silent and secretive about it, the family is ugly, but how can there be an impermeable wall on the earth, these things are naturally boiling in the end.

And after hearing about these things, people with a heart are no longer obsessed with any bad things, but look at many new changes, and the research on blood type is very effective, after all, there are many experimental materials, and Xu Hao's various views on personality and blood type that Xu Hao tried to sell were also slightly accepted, not to mention any bacteriology, wash your hands before and after eating, the cause of the Black Death is naturally because of the plague and bacteria......

Unlike later generations, scientific research at this time did not pay attention to the interaction of large-scale teams trial and error, that is, little by little to experiment with various different reactions in a certain situation, and finally came to a perfect result, this era relied on the brains and inspiration of some genius scientists, maybe when you saw the shape of a scrambled egg during a meal, you broke through a certain invention discovery.

And the bacteriological knowledge brought by the microscope has also quickly opened the brains of these people, at least it will not be like a blind man touching an elephant, in fact, it is just a few words, the microscope is a concave and convex lens, if the scheduling is appropriate, you can see things that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

In the past, Europeans can be called a model of not eating cleanly without getting sick, whether it is the Romans lying on the couch, or the emperors, or the cheese and various tableware they eat, they are all hastily washed, and the reputation of the big dung heap in Paris is naturally not fake.

However, they still achieved some amazing results, although there are no standardized lenses, but they still have some understanding of bacteria.

"There are some things that I don't understand, sir, since you say that anyone is full of germs, and there are no less than germs in our food, but why can't these bacteria kill us?"

Xu Hao smiled, he really knew this question.

"Bacteria, not necessarily bad people, they can also be treasures, and they don't grow specifically to attack humans, but after entering the human body, they will start to ...... Breeding, lesions or something, that's another topic, you see, I really don't know much about it, so I'm sorry. ”

"We are very happy if we can cooperate with your country's university, after hearing about your policy in the UK, our university has selected the most elite young people to study in China, and we hope that you will accept them."

"No problem, no problem," Xu Hao began to blow the water slowly, "China's universities are all Ivy League universities with high standards and strict requirements, well, we already have a plan to open a language training institution in the Netherlands, which of course requires the contribution of your university, but fortunately, we already have a few people who can speak European languages fluently, as long as we are patient, we can compile suitable teaching materials for us." ”

Of course, the Presbyterian Church has relevant textbooks in its hands, and even some dictionaries in various minor languages, but when the problem comes, after taking it out, it is found that many of the above examples, new vocabulary, and even new grammar, as well as the articles selected for teaching the language, cannot be said.

Well, if the Germans in 1645 were to find out that in the future, there would be a "Führer" who had been to Hebei Province to help them design the Beetle car, and by the way, they would start a war, would they be dizzy? Of course, there was no concept of later Germans in this era, but any knowledge that showed the trajectory of later generations was forbidden to be disseminated.

Since the extremely intelligent Li Xiangjun guessed the time when the elders came here through the Western calendar chronology that he occasionally learned from the missionaries, although the black-faced Li Xiangqian did not make a noise, he immediately carried out a stern inventory, and any traces of history or time on the spaceship were erased, at least those things could not leave everyone's sight, and he was more strict about the release of various materials.

Therefore, this is the reason why the elders can't come up with teaching materials at all, and what they take out is also articles that show traces of later generations everywhere, especially in the electronic age, all kinds of concise words that will drive people crazy.

Of course, they don't have the ability to let the elders compile their own teaching materials, so they only have a big hand and spend a little money.

However, the old man couldn't bear it all the time, and kept hanging around Xu Hao, and seemed to have always wanted to come over to talk.

The attendant officer took Xu Hao and kept introducing various characters, of course, there were so many people, and he also had time to give the envoy time to rest, Xu Hao adjusted his newly ironed tunic suit, looked at the director of the East India Company, and walked over slowly.

"Dear Xu, hello, good day."

"Hello, Mr. Klaus."

"It's a pity that we have received the latest news that the army of your motherland, a few months ago, attacked our land, which is a very unfriendly thing, which has to make me doubt your intentions."

Xu Hao listened to the translator pretend, and seemed to think for a long time before he broke out: "What! How dare anyone attack a civilized and rational country like yours? Who is it under me? It's not okay to be wild, you name them, and I'll catch them. ”

Klaus was a little unsure of his attitude, and reassured: "It's not your people. ”

Xu Hao seemed to feel at ease and said: "In that case, then it won't be us, after all, there are only a few hundred people under my command who came to Europa on this trip, and they have always been managed by me, I dare to guarantee that there is no one else except us." ”

Then, he asked: "Could it be just a group of natives, for example, I heard that there are many pirates in the Mediterranean, and some bankrupt merchants will sell all their belongings and gather a group of people to grab a handful of people to survive when they are desperate." ”

Klaus was an old man, but he was in good spirits, and when he heard the translation, he immediately shouted: "No, it can't be, according to the news, it was done by the people of your country!" ”

Xu Hao made a helpless expression and said: "I can only regret it, I don't know about the situation you said, and when I return to my country, I will ask if someone has been sent to Europe besides me." ”

Klaus finally understood the crux of the problem, and immediately shouted: "I, our company's report, they were attacked in the Far East!" ”

Xu Hao frowned and said, "What does the Far East mean?" ”

Of course, he knew that the so-called Far East was naturally the product of Europe as the center of the circle and the center of the world, and they divided the Middle East, the Near East, and the Far East according to their own needs, and those who were too far away were all Far East, the Far East.

Klaus explained a few words, but the translator was a little embarrassed and said, "He's talking about an island near China." ”

Xu Hao immediately asked: "What island is it, why haven't I heard of it, if you want to go to war with your country, it is definitely not a trivial matter." ”

Klaus said: "It is an island called Formosa, which is the property of the company, and such an act of your country would be considered hostile. ”

Xu Hao frowned and said, "Wait a minute, it's all your empty nonsense, can I ask, which general of our country is the one who mobilized the troops, and also, how did he use the troops and what was the battle situation?" Japan has always pursued the idea of pacifism and will not go to war with other countries casually. ”

"It was from your country, a general named Nikolai, who, with tens of thousands of men, besieged our trading post, seized everything, and made many merchants lose their money."

Nikolai, naturally, is Zheng Zhilong, who was ordered by the Council of Elders to start the immigration work on Wanwan, and is naturally regarded as the biggest enemy.

After figuring out who Nikolai was, Xu Hao said: "This is impossible, this should be the statement of your company's people shirking responsibility, Nikolai has a maximum of thousands of people, and they are not directly subordinate to our government, but more like a loose alliance, not to mention, Nikolai does not have this strength, I think, I am afraid that this information is not accurate." ”

Klaus said: "No, the merchant whose property was confiscated at that time was my nephew, and his personal letter said that the Chinese who were besieging the city were overwhelming, and they were all local farmers. ”

"Wait, local farmer? What does that mean? ”

Xu Hao immediately asked.

Klaus said: "At that time, there were at least tens of thousands of Chinese peasants on the island, all of whom were agitated and participated in the riots. ”

Xu Hao grasped the crux of the problem and said: "Wait, there are tens of thousands of Chinese peasants in that place, how many Dutch are there?" ”

Klaus shut up for a moment and said, "There are a few hundred, oh no, and more than a thousand Japanese laborers. ”

Xu Hao waved his hand and said, "I probably understand what's going on, and you think that when you go to Africa, you think that if you take advantage of our government's inattention, build a few strongholds on our land, you can occupy that land, and by the way, slaughter the residents above?" I don't think I'll be able to listen to you on this matter, so please wait for my country's next move. ”

Klaus pursed his lips, but the attendant officer beside him noticed that something was wrong, and struggled to pull the old man away, no matter what, the king was very kind to these Orientals, and he couldn't turn his face with others for a small island.

Xu Hao pretended to be deaf and dumb, but in fact, he didn't have much confidence in the following things, they were sure that the Dutch could not go to war with them for a small island, so they could test their bottom line little by little.

If it weren't for Little Charlie, Xu Hao would have planned to spend the Lunar New Year in London, but it was also a good choice to come to the Netherlands, compared to the wet and cold over there, the climate in the Netherlands was actually much better, although it was also cold, but after avoiding the Atlantic current, it was relatively comfortable.

As part of the cultural dissemination, the promotion of the Chinese New Year is still very strong, and there are enough fireworks on the Liaoning, from small colorful flowers held by children in their hands, to large fireworks bombs that can draw colorful fireworks in the sky.

Xu Hao looked at the approaching New Year and said his thoughts, although the residents of London didn't have a chance to enjoy it, but wouldn't it be the turn of the Armstrong people, the size of the two sides was about the same, and such a grand scene could also quickly spread to the European continent.

Wilhelm II is not yet 25 years old, so he naturally likes to be lively, and listening to Xu Hao's various miraculous skills, he naturally readily agrees, of course, Xu Hao's credit for sending his nephew must also be remembered in the bottom of his heart.

The delegation simply started a small fireworks event on the streets of Armstrong, which are all small and will not blow up if a child holds them in his hand, and if they are lit at night, they will still look good.

In this era, inorganic chemistry in Europe is also groping forward, but it has not been able to use fireworks, fireworks in China, probably in the Song Dynasty began to use, of course, at the beginning that the official only had this financial resources, and later, gradually into the people, Liuyang, the fireworks production area, in fact, at this time has been very famous.
