It seems that on the way to the capital, Longwu already knew some rumors, and he had done a lot of hard work for the situation of the Nanyang countries.

Longwu did not have Zhuangtian, nor did he have gold or silver, and the top priority was not to strive for advanced firearms, but to find a continuous supply of silver.

The yarn of the workers' association and the large amount of cloth from Suncheon were transported to Nanyang, bringing not a lot of silver, but a large number of pirates.

Indian cotton cloth was one of the main trade goods of the Dutch East India Company, and Songjiang purple cloth was also one of the main trade goods of merchants on the southeast coast.

Behind the merchants on the southeast coast is not only the Donglin Party, but also Zheng Zhilong, who dominates the Ming coast.

Whether Longwu was transporting yarn or large cloth in Suncheon, it would touch the interests of the southeast coast headed by Zheng Zhilong, as well as the interests of the Dutch East India Company.

The current strength of Yilongwu is no less than looking for death, but the tampon is different, and the Dutch East India Company and the southeast coast have a big gap in tampon.

After all, this is the basic raw material for spinning, and the more the better, and the cheap cotton slivers brought by Longwu were naturally welcomed by the Dutch East India Company and the southeast coast.

Zhu Shun roughly guessed Longwu's thoughts, and still asked: "Does the old Tang King want to be a free prince in Beijing?" ”

Long Wu couldn't see the change in expression on his face, but he sighed in his heart when he heard the prince of Xiaoyao, and it was almost the same to go to the underworld to be a prince of Xiaoyao: "When it comes to this, I won't hide it, and I will give the industrial uncle a secret, and I already know some rumors through a certain eunuch on the way here." ”

"I read a lot of books about Nanyang, and I didn't dare to say anything about the current situation in Nanyang, but with a deep understanding, I was ready to buy a large amount of raw cotton from the East Indies, comb it into cotton strips in the industrial city, and sell it to the Europas."

Zhu Shun looked at Longwu extremely seriously, and after watching a full cup of tea, Longwu was a little uncomfortable.

Isn't this the world-wide sheep shearing strategy of the two world hegemons, Britain and the magnesium country?

A large amount of raw materials were imported from the East Indias, processed into cotton slivers, and dumped into the East Indias.

Nothing was done, the raw materials were painstakingly cultivated in the East Indias, and no matter how ruthless the cargo shipping was, the Europa people worked hard to transport, and after a hand, a large amount of gold and silver was taken from the Europa.

Longwu's strategic vision is inevitably too outstanding.

Zhu Shun suddenly remembered one more thing, and just about to speak, he stopped again.

With the advanced technology of the Ming Industrial Revolution, Longwu earned the silver coins of the Europa countries, and used these silver coins to buy the advanced firearms of the Ming Arms Company to attack these Europa countries.

After suffering a loss and eating at my grandmother's house, I have to pinch my nose and admit it, where to reason.

After all, the cotton combed by Longwu's hands is directly processed cotton slivers, which have a good texture and a cheap price.

Long Wu saw that Zhu Shun didn't speak for a long time, and knew what he was worried about: "Don't worry, I will never trade with the southeast merchants, and behind these merchants who are all the way to the Jin merchants stand the Donglin Party." ”

"Trading with them will inevitably make Zhu Youzhen suspect that I am colluding with the Donglin Party in an attempt to overthrow his throne."

The merchants of the southeast coast were indeed the same as the Jin merchants, the Jin merchants were collaborators who betrayed the country and built slaves, and the merchants of the southeast coast were the Europa people who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country.

As early as the Wanli period, they colluded with the Japanese to rob and slaughter the people of the Ming Dynasty, and now the slave trade in Europa is rampant, and these merchants on the southeast coast have started to sell the people of the Ming Dynasty to the people of Europa.

Zhu Shun wasn't actually thinking about it, since Longwu expressed his attitude, he was even more relieved: "It's not difficult to set up a steam carding factory, but you need to join the workers' association first." ”

Zhu Shun did not mention the workers' association, and Longwu would also make the main request, he had already had an in-depth understanding of the various systems of the workers' association, and knew the advantages that the factory owners had.

If nothing else, as long as you join the workers' association, you can borrow a large amount of silver from the workers' ticket number with a very low silver profit.

Longwu, as the former king of Tang and the top Tianhuang nobleman in the Ming Dynasty, took the initiative to salute an uncle: "Then I will thank the industrial uncle here first, and there will be a good reward in the future." ”

Zhu Shun looked at the back of Longwu leaving and fell into deep thought.

It didn't take long for the three clansmen of Fuwang Shizi, Guiwang Shizi, and Zhu Yulu to walk in, and they were all in a good mood, and they quickly left after saying hello respectively.

King Fu was busy going back to bomb the branches of the Dutch East India Company, and King Gui and Zhu Yulu had to personally go to the four major shipyards to snatch a number of Fu ships and Guangzhou ships, and form an army of sailors for an expedition to the South Seas.

After half a pillar of incense.

A large number of clansmen such as King Fu, Prince Gui, and Zhu Yulu have returned, and even Longwu has returned, encountering a big problem again, hoping that Gongbo can continue to guide the maze.

With the right to build the country, advanced firearms, and ships, there is still the key to linking these together.

Manpower.

Firearms are not knives and guns, they can be used in the hand, and it takes a long time to practice shooting, and a large amount of lead bullet is fed to a musketeer who is proficient in firearms.

On the stage.

Zhu Shun looked at the clansmen below with sad faces, smiled and said, "This matter is very simple, there are ready-made musketeers. ”

The clans thought that Zhu Shun was talking about the sergeant of the firearms battalion, and they were even more sad, Chongzhen himself was not enough, where would he give it to them.

Zhu Shun saw that the expressions on the faces of the clansmen were even more ugly, and knew that they were wrong: "The use of bird guns has long been popularized, and the families of the bureaucratic squires are very skilled in the use of firearms, aren't they ready-made musketeers. ”

The clansmen immediately smiled.

"Haha, the brain of the industrial uncle is the light."

"The bureaucrats and squires are going to be unlucky, and they have spent a lot of time and gold and silver to make wedding dresses for us."

"One is to be a family member for the little squire, and the other is to be a founding hero for the clan, so you don't have to worry about loyalty."

In order to snatch more family members, the clansmen stood up and arched their hands and hurriedly left.

The four princes of Longwufu took a deep look at Zhu Shun.

The popularity of firearms is due to the establishment of the Beiping Firearms General Bureau, which was established in the second year of Chongzhen.

Could it be that Zhu Shun had reached the point where he would be today six years ago?

This temple counts!

It aroused the desire of the four top clans for Zhu Shun more and more.

The four of them arched their hands and finally left the workers' hall.

Zhu Shun arranged for the fourth disciple Zhao Doumi to expand the ordnance line to fifteen on a large scale, and the lead bullet line to ten, and still queue up until next year.

The steam machinery of the ordnance line and the lead-bullet line should be able to be successfully manufactured this year, and the main problems restricting expansion are still three problems.

Coal, steel, and skilled workers.

In particular, the Daming Arms Company is a highly secret steam factory, and it is necessary to select workers who have passed the letter first, and secondly, to go through more than half a year of training.

Then there are many trivial things, such as the problem of housing, the problem of competing for steam machinery, the problem of stacking orders, and so on.

These things were all thrown to the fourth disciple Zhao Doumi, as well as the retainer knight Lu Weio, Zhu Shun only looked at the results, whether he could roughly equip the clans with new firearms, and how much silver he could earn every year.

After solving the affairs of the clans, Zhu Shun, who was physically and mentally exhausted, returned to the old blue brick house in Huangcun to rest for a few days, and spent a few days at home with his parents, wife and children.
