Selling Europe is not any psychological pressure on everyone present - these people dare to sell even the rope that hangs themselves, what is the big deal about selling Europe?

If you think about it from another angle, many people have no chance of selling Europe, and except for Cohen, the sixteen gentlemen, each of whom is responsible for their own business, and a large number of eyeliners are all over Europe, and it is too easy to get information about Europe and then sell it.

After everyone looked at each other, they looked away again - it was okay to sell Europe, but it would be very problematic if the information in their hands was obtained by others.

After knocking on the table, Cohen continued: "Gentlemen, I want to know, what has become of the whole of Europe during my time in Daming?" What happened to the mess between the Holy Roman Empire and the vassal states, between the Holy See, between the British? ”

Lan Xin spat out a smoke ring almost without a teacher, and smiled: "What else? Then, thanks to the blessings of their families, our current arms business has expanded again, and even the vassal states that were not involved before have participated in the war.

In addition, the real buzz is now on the British's side, not only the royalists and the Congressional party are fighting each other, but even their respective civilians are starting to make a fuss. ”

Cohen was stunned and said, "Civilians? What are their civilians making a fuss about? ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Lan Sing continued: "I don't know where I got a book called "Gangsters on the Edge of the Swamp", which tells the story of the uprising of seventy-two knights under the leadership of the hero Gan Lin Song Jiang.

The book was so cheap that almost every civilian could afford it, so many people were inspired by the book to start a vigorous uprising.

In fact, not only the British, but also the other vassal states had a large number of uprisings, because many civilians could not survive. ”

Cohen is even more confused now - the gangster on the edge of the swamp? Can a gangster be born on the edge of the swamp? And an uprising? And then these civilians are still learning the practices of these gangsters?

After coughing, Cohen spoke, "Where did this book start circulating?" What about the provenance? Have you found it, gentlemen? ”

Lansing said: "Of course, in Europe, there is nothing that can be difficult for our East India Company.

The book was first transmitted from the Ottoman side, and the earliest source should be the Ming Empire, if you are interested, you can easily buy it. ”

Cohen nodded, "What about the others?" But anything new? ”

Lan Xin smiled: "Where did you get so much fresh news, it's nothing more than you hitting me, I'll beat you, the whole Europe is so lively now, there is nothing else." ”

After finishing speaking, Lan Xin asked casually: "By the way, if there is any new news, will it be given to you directly at that time?" Or to tell? ”

After scolding in his heart, Cohen said with a smile: "Of course it's not to tell me, although I am already a citizen of the empire, I have not joined the intelligence department, so naturally I am not responsible for this matter."

After today's meeting is completed, I will introduce to you the person in charge of this aspect of the Empire, who was specially sent by the Imperial Intelligence Department Jinyiwei to be responsible for the collection and statistics of the Intelligence Department on our side.

In addition, I would like to tell you that I have changed my surname now, my surname is Li now, and please call me Li Cohen in the future. ”

Lansing was relieved.

Since Li Cohen can rely on the news of betraying Europe in exchange for the identity of the people of the Ming Empire, then so can his own people.

The question is, if the information is passed through Cohen, who knows if Cohen will take the opportunity to make his own information his?

After all, he Li Coen also has several lovers, and more than a dozen illegitimate children, and it is estimated that he also needs a lot of information to exchange for his lover and illegitimate children in exchange for Daming's household registration.

Now that there are people sent by the Ming Empire who are directly responsible, the time for these people to get the household registration of the Ming Dynasty will be greatly advanced - look at Cohen's arrogant appearance, one by one from the empire, it is great to become the people of the Ming Dynasty?

Although I don't want to admit this, but in fact, having a household registration in the Ming Empire is so remarkable, and Lan Xin is really envious, including more than a dozen other people.

The most obvious example of this is the Ming merchants who came to live on the side of the Holy Roman Empire, and all the belligerents tacitly avoided the place where they lived, and there would never be a single shell that fell on their house by mistake.

After all, no one wants to provoke these Ming people who are backed by some fleet, even if they don't believe in God.

No one from the Netherlands, nor England, nor even the Spaniards, who had been badly taught by the Ming navy, wanted to provoke them.

Except for Tsarist Russia - the problem is that even Tsarist Russia, which is all shit itself, has the courage to provoke the Ming Dynasty, then there must be Ming people living in Russia, right?

Thinking of Tsarist Russia, Lansing continued: "By the way, Alexei Mikhailovich announced that the salt tax would be raised to 1.3 times, have you heard the news?" ”

Li Cohen shook his head and said, "I just came back from Daming, and I don't know much about the news from Tsarist Russia. However, if you know something, you can tell the people of Jinyiwei, and he will sort out the information for you and send it back to Daming. ”

Lansing said: "Is the news of Tsarist Russia useful? ”

After nodding, Li Cohen spoke: "Of course, in the far north of the empire, the invincible army of the empire is advancing to the east, and sooner or later in the future, it will advance to the west one day, and then the empire will be at war with Tsarist Russia."

In other words, if you can now get a lot of information about Tsarist Russia through your channels, it will be very helpful for you to obtain the household registration of the Ming Empire. ”

Lansing nodded, and then changed the subject.

If the news of Tsarist Russia is useless, then it is naturally no problem to talk to Cohen now, after all, the East India Company also needs to develop and expand, and the possibility of expanding its business to Tsarist Russia in the future cannot be ruled out.

But now that this information is related to his own household registration of Daming, he can't tell Cohen immediately, at least he can't tell it until the news is registered with Jinyiwei.

Almost everyone else has the same intention - it's okay to share the news, but you have to wait until the news is registered to make sure that you can get enough benefits before you can share it, at least not now.

After the meeting ended, Li Cohen returned to his residence and couldn't wait to call out to his wife: "Look, what is this? ”

After taking the Daming household registration booklet handed over by Li Cohen, he looked at it over and over again for a long time, and Li Cohen's wife didn't understand what it was: "The text on this is very similar to the oriental script you have been studying before?" ”

Li Cohen suddenly laughed: "In the future, not only will I study those oriental characters, but you will also study them together, you must be able to understand, speak, and teach our children to write." ”

With a snort, Lee Cohen's wife sneered: "Well, even you can't write those words yourself, and you still want to teach the children to write them?" ”

Li Cohen suddenly blushed and said: "Of course, I can't write well, but I have invited a Ming scholar to come back to teach the children, and we must also study with the children."

This booklet is the certificate of household registration of the Ming Empire, you put it away and hide it in an absolutely safe place, which is a good thing that can save the lives of our family at a critical time. ”

When she heard that this booklet was a household registration certificate of the Ming Empire, Elena's eyes lit up - everyone knew how happy the people of the Ming Empire were, and their own family now had this household registration, which was indeed a guarantee of the safety of the family.

After nodding heavily, Elena held the household registration book tightly in her arms: "Don't worry, I'll lock it up now to ensure that no one will find out." ”

Just turned around and took two steps, Yelena turned around again and said, "By the way, when will the teacher you invited come over to teach the children?" I can't wait now. ”

Li Cohen lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "At this time, the teacher has already gone to rest, and I will invite him to come over early tomorrow morning." ”

Yelena nodded: "By the way, is this teacher highly educated?" Can you teach children well? ”

The smile on Lee Cohen's face froze suddenly.

How could it be so easy to invite a scholar from Daming to teach his children in Europe? Do you really think that the Ming Empire, like Europe, can settle everything with silver coins?

The scholar named Gou Lei who he could invite was just a child who had failed to pass the examination several times, although he also had knowledge, but this level could only be said to be average - if it wasn't for his livelihood, Gou Lei would not have been able to follow him to Europe.

After thinking about it, Li Cohen still patiently explained: "Don't worry, his knowledge is not the best in the Ming Dynasty, but in Europe, there must be no one more knowledgeable than him." ”

Elena exclaimed: "Oh my God, isn't it the best in Daming, but the most knowledgeable in Europe?" Are the people of the Ming Dynasty so knowledgeable? ”

Out of admiration for learning, as well as envy for Daming, Elena felt that her body was a little weak - perhaps, when such a learned person came to Europe, he would need a lover?

Li Cohen didn't know that his wife was planning to put on a warm hat for him for free, but chuckled and said, "So, we're going to clean up the house today."

In addition, the land that was originally planned to be added and purchased should be put aside, and when you and the children have passed the exam, we will buy a piece of land in Daming to build a house. ”

Yelena was even more surprised: "We? Can we also buy a house in Daming? ”

Li Cohen said: "Of course, I now have a household registration in Daming, and I can buy land on any piece of land in Daming and build my own house."

But my dear, your current household registration has not yet fully taken effect, and the children have not obtained the household registration of the Ming Empire, even if they live in the empire, there is no way to study normally and be an official, so you still have to study first, understand? ”

……

Li Cohen and his wife were studying how to study, and the originally scheduled teacher, Gou Lei, whom Li Cohen had specially spent a lot of money to invite from Daming, was wandering the streets, of course, no more than a mile from the inn.

From Daming all the way to the Netherlands, Gou Lei saw different scenery, but also saw the wind and waves on the sea, saw the majesty of the Suez Canal, and saw the customs and customs that were very different from Daming.

Turning his head and glancing at the Dongying maid who followed him step by step, Gou Lei said: "Nanazi, how is this place compared to the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom?" ”

Nanako, who was taking small steps, replied after a sigh: "The big tomorrow is facing the upper country, and the weather is myriad, far from being comparable here."

However, it is a country of Wa, with a small country and few people, which does not look much different from this place, but the architecture and language here are completely different from those of Wa.

It's rare for Childe to come to the Netherlands, but he should relax and take a look around the world before trying the food. ”

Gou Lei suddenly became angry: "Food? The cooks here should be dragged and chopped up and fed to the dogs! They're wasting ingredients! They are disrespectful to Shennong, they are committing a crime!

Along the way, you look at the stuff they got, it's for people to eat? Even if you feed the dog, the dog doesn't want to eat it! ”

Nanako couldn't figure out why her master was suddenly angry, and in this case, keeping her mouth shut became the best option.

After Fu took a few steps forward, Gou Lei said with some curiosity: "Speaking of which, the people here are taller than you Japanese people, and shorter than the Ming people?" ”

After another sigh, Nanako said: "Yes, just like what Gongzi just said, their food is poor, the people live hard, and it is really impossible to be as tall and strong as the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”

After a sigh, Gou Lei said: "By the way, starting tomorrow, I will go to Li Cohen's house to teach his children to learn the language and writing of the Ming Dynasty, and you should follow along." ”

Unexpectedly getting such a good opportunity, Nanako was suddenly overjoyed, and nodded heavily: "Thank you, master!" ”

Gou Lei waved his hand and said: "Your Daming official language is almost there, what is lacking now is the Ming Dynasty's writing, as long as you can speak and write, and if you can pass the exam, you may also get the Ming Dynasty's household registration in the future."

But I hope you can put some effort into learning their language and writing, even if you can't learn how to write, you must be able to understand, understand, and communicate with the people here. ”

Although she didn't understand why Gou Lei made this request to herself, Nanako still bowed down and agreed.
