Chapter 390: The Chasing Messenger
Xu Hao said simply: "By the way, there are still some things other than weapons, they are all about to celebrate the New Year, I think the king's princes and princesses are really not having a good New Year, they are qualified to have a good New Year." ”
He knew that Charles I only had such a holiday left to spend with his children, and after the New Year, without waiting for the ice and snow to thaw, Cromwell couldn't wait to send troops to his king for the final fatal blow, of course, this is also the right thing, the devil knows when this politically weak king will open his mind and become a master like the virgin queen, he will be on the street.
Although he has long become hard-hearted and has no sympathy for the king's family, this kind of emotional investment is still very important, he can do too little, and he just hopes that when these princes and princesses run away to Europe, they will have a little good impression of distant China, as for the benefits, well, His Royal Highness the king can't even decide the ownership of a piece of bread in the city of London now, and it is extremely difficult to expect him to promise something, and he can get a return in the future.
China is a big country, and Britain is about to become a big country, at least according to Xu Hao's observation, they are full-fledged and prosperous, and they are ready to launch a fatal blow against the current world power, the Netherlands, and the meaning of the Presbyterian Church is naturally to follow their will.
Due to the nature of the island country, even if they have made a fortune, they still maintain their vigilance against the European continent, at least no one will think that they can take a break from Nanshan, everyone knows that with the size of the European continent, once they grow and integrate, there will be nothing to do with the commercial power of the British.
At this time, the British had not yet formed the core of the continental balance of power policy, which was gradually matured during the Napoleonic period, but everyone's heart was very full, and it was the voice of each of them to scold the Dutch and the Dutch, of course, it was strange that decades later, they could accept the Queen of the Netherlands as their queen with peace of mind, just like fighting a world war with the Germans under the leadership of a group of Germans during World War I, but these people are very smart.
Of course, in order to transport arms and other things out of the city, it still took a certain amount of effort, and this process could not let the Millennium Falcon appear, in fact, it was still under the pretext of giving gifts to the richest people in London to carry goods, a thousand rifles, 30 million rounds of ammunition, if it was a world-war-level arms deal, it was basically a small business to the point of no awareness, but with the existence of Britain in this era, it was almost a force to destroy everything, according to Xu Hao, the movement was too big and easy to notice.
He still carried some quadruple sniper goggles for rifles on this trip, but after thinking about it again, this thing is already something that can directly cause harm to his life, Xu Hao doesn't want to be shot in the head with a gun when he goes to a drinking party one day, it will be more than a tragedy.
The Sino-British Treaty of Friendship and Commerce gradually gained a run-in after countless days, and the request of the British to set up commercial offices in the capital of China and other places suitable for doing business was not considered for the time being.
The Confucius Institute still needs to be prepared for the time being, but the English of those literati brought is the progress of the bandits, yes, it is as fierce as the bandits, and at the same time, Chinese landscape paintings, music, are gradually becoming popular, not to mention the Spring Palace of some of the descendants of Tang Bohu has attracted onlookers, it can be said that in the core cultural circle of the United Kingdom, the only thing that can be taken out of the traditional Chinese culture can be regarded as being able to enter, of course, at this time, Britain was still a lot of later central countries, The impact on the continent is limited.
However, the reward for saving John Farrell still appeared, and the Portuguese suffered a small loss, and the most hateful thing was that the people sent to the Netherlands and England to question each other answered in unison that they did not send someone to secretly attack the secret envoy of the King of Portugal.
This dumb man is afraid that he will be decided, and he is afraid that he will not get any truth in the end, but the king of Portugal is also very happy after getting the machine that can verify paternity testing and learning about blood type.
It is a well-known thing that there are many illegitimate children of European nobles, such as the future Charles II of England that Xu Hao is thinking about, the next king of England, is known as the happy king of hedonism, he has at least dozens of illegitimate children The fierce experience, some of them are the blonde girls who relied on their personal charm when he was penniless during his time in Europe, and he is also a capable person.
Of course, if the blonde girls who are raised by the bubble are all from the beginning, the owner of the empty house alone is fine, it happens that men can play, women can also play, some lesbians have loose nepotism, and there are more ministers under the skirt, and sometimes, the father of a child may have many people, and irresponsible people will naturally run away, but others can not run away, therefore, many times, it has caused an illegitimate child to often have several men to pay money on a monthly and quarterly basis.
If you read Alexandre Dumas, you will often see this situation, the illegitimate child situation continues until people gradually understand genetics, and now, the new technology from the East, is so intimate, so kind, can actually help the old and young masters in Europe to get out of the predicament, you say intimate.
After the nobles in line verified their identity and confirmed that their son was their own son, their son was not their own son, it turned out that it was my son, and then there were countless joys and sorrows, and after the bloody story, an envoy also arrived in London in a hurry and urged Xu Hao to visit Portugal.
"Go to Portugal, what's there to do."
Xu Hao also has a certain understanding of Europeans at this time, and later generations of Chinese may not have seen the difference of foreign races in their lives, Europe at this time can be called a race club, its internal division is extremely complex, even if it is Germanic, Saxon, that is also a huge branch, blonde blue eyes and blonde blue eyes are different, from hair, skin color, eyes, can distinguish countless places, such as Harry Potter, black-haired Harry Potter, red-haired Weasley, blonde Malfoy, The authoress hinted at the division of the British political map.
The Mr. Joss in front of him has black hair, dark eyes, and if he changes into Chinese clothes, in some not very bright rooms, it is simply too simple to be recognized as Chinese, of course, people are purely European local.
Joss actually came out to avoid trouble, in the course of the Portuguese brawl in the past month, although he also confirmed an illegitimate child of his own, but he pressed the gourd to float the scoop, and the noble lady's child was identified as his own seed, this kind of joy to be a father has not yet begun, and he has to face a cuckold husband, originally according to everyone's customs, it is natural for everyone to play, but you can't make a villain.
However, he still didn't have any ill will towards Xu Hao, after all, he also had a matter on his mind, and at this time he flattered: "The king of our country heard that your country wants to develop its own career in Europe, of course, he also pays attention to it, and specially instructed me, if you have any requirements, we can all consider it, something like paternity testing equipment, no matter what the price, we can afford it!" ”
Joss knew that at the moment of his departure, many of the Spanish nobles also made this request, and they also had this kind of similar suffering, but the Portuguese man was not so easy to deal with.
Everything is evil and omnipotent money is at work, with money, it is easy to say anything, they do not hesitate to make deals with demons, no, people who can bring such benefits, how can they be, they are simply angels.
Xu Hao said: "This, thank you for your kindness, so let's go, we still arrange some plans, we will go to France later, after the Norman landing, to visit France, I have long wanted to taste the taste of French red wine, and the Netherlands, the Mediterranean still has to go one more time, but the last stop I left, I can stay in Portugal for a few more days." ”
In order not to startle the snake, the elders do not want to go too deep into the internal disputes of the Europeans, that is, run to say hello to you, say hello, shake hands, send you some gadgets and leave, at this time the thirty-year war is basically over, it can be said that everyone is tired, and it is not bad for the Chinese to come over and say a few good words, as long as they do not behave too aggressively, I believe that it will not cause these people's fragile little nerves and force them to build the EU that is doomed to nothing.
The Europeans of this era have been civilized, and the result of civilization is that if you sell them anything, the first thing they think of is a copycat, and if they want to exchange similar glass balls for gems, don't think about it, but business is business after all, and no one can be indifferent in the face of profit margins.
Just like a certain Trump commander in the United States in later generations, he wants to revitalize the domestic manufacturing industry, but how can there be such a good thing! With a profit margin of only 3% in retail and a 5% profit margin in manufacturing, the manufacturing profit of all kinds of pharmaceutical powders in the United States has reached a terrible 20! In this case, it is difficult to convince rich Americans not to take drugs and do their hard-working old jobs!
The most important point of Xu Hao's trip is to investigate various price issues, which has been the case with foreign envoys from ancient times to the present, how to do a good job in terminal sales, and do a good job in the "last mile" game of chess, which is already his efforts.
However, although Portugal is not weak, but after all, the business is too small, the lack of domestic consumption, compared to Spain, which has money and people, the Netherlands is a little worse, not to mention that there is a local tyrant to the extreme Turkey waiting for him, these countries have money, and they can take advantage of the information asymmetry to flicker, not to mention anything else, Xu Hao's blood type theory is enough to flicker a group of scientists who are famous in history at this time.
According to John Farrell, his daughter also followed this foreigner to England, but unfortunately at this time the girl was invited to hunt, which is naturally a pity, otherwise, maybe he can be used as a lobbyist.
However, for Xu Hao, every country in Europe is very important, and finally develops, checks and balances each other, and even in addition to the core technology, second-rate science and technology related to people's livelihood can be released, just like the blockade of China's science and technology in the 21st century, of course, this process needs to be carefully controlled, one of the purposes of Xu Hao's coming here this time is to attract a group of European scientists to study in China, there are still some people who are obsessed with science within the elders, and it is not difficult to find a few people who come out and shake these people, It's a pity that Newton was only 2 years old at this time, born in a peasant family, his biological father had died before he was born, and his mother's remarriage made it difficult to find this person.
If the elders want to achieve the great cause of the United States in the 20th century, they must be big-minded and try to accommodate talents of all ethnic groups.
"Well, you know, I'm going to recruit some international students on this trip, and I'm going to go back to China to study, and the Presbyterian Church will provide scholarships throughout the whole process, but it's a little troublesome to take them all over Europe, and my idea is that you can assemble in your Portugal, and after passing my test, I'll send people to Portugal, so that I can confirm that the last line of the visit in Europe is Portugal, and after the visit, I'll take them away."
Qiao Si was overjoyed and said, "Then, can we also send these students, such as learning those knowledge......
"Of course you can, in fact, I'm just going to open the exam papers today and prepare to recruit students, so it's better to start the exam with me."
In the world line of later generations, the British were during the Opium War, after carefully studying the Chinese system, they felt that there were some good things about the imperial examination system, so they absorbed it, that is, learning the merits of a defeated general of their own subordinates can be said to be a respectable and fearful behavior, but these British people will not refuse to look at the content of the Chinese about the examination.
In Europe in this era, the problem of chickens and ducks in the same cage has been difficult for them, so the Presbyterian Church sacrificed a big killing weapon, Mensa.
As a typical example of the IQ tax, Mensa made countless money in China in the 20th and 21st centuries, but in the end it was driven away in vain.
