The reason why the King of England is so 'generous' is naturally that England has something to ask Da Zhou for help.

Although now the industrial revolution has been set off in Europe.

But if you look closely, the only industrial product in Europe is spinning.

But now in the whole of Europe, there is no shortage of spinning products in every country, and there are only a few countries in Asia that dump them abroad.

As for the other large colonies in Asia, Africa and Latin America, they were all plundered by Europe for raw materials, and the land was vast and sparsely populated.

To dump goods in those sparsely populated and uncivilized colonies is to have a predictable result.

Therefore, although a lot of spinning products are manufactured in Europe, it is because there are too many things that are made, but there is a phenomenon of unsalable.

As a result, England hit the idea of the Great Zhou, the richest country in the world.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Great Zhou is the richest country on earth.

For thousands of years, silk, tea and porcelain from the behemoths of the Orient have been the most sought-after items in the world.

This is true even now.

In Europe, the aristocracy took pride in wearing silk clothing.

If you put a few more pieces of porcelain in your home and entertain guests with tea, your face will be even brighter.

In Europe, whether it is porcelain, silk, or tea, it is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

On the contrary, because the Great Zhou was a small-scale peasant economy, there was not much need for European things.

It is also for this reason that every year the Great Week earns a huge amount of gold and silver from Europe.

Especially after the Age of Discovery, Europe has more gold and silver flowing into the Great Zhou every year.

European economists did the math and came to the conclusion that more than half of the gold and silver that Europe receives from all over the world every year will flow into Da Zhou's pocket.

Is this still worth it?

So under the instruction of the English king, the English envoys came to the Great Zhou with a special mission.

"Your Majesty, Emperor of the Great Zhou, this is a letter from the king of our country!" As soon as he saw Zhang Lingyang, Wilson took out a letter from his arms.

After taking the letter and opening it, Zhang Lingyang was stunned.

For he knew all the Latin letters of the letter, and could put them together, and he did not know a single one of them, except for a few phrases.

Who made Zhang Lingyang fail his English grades from childhood to adulthood in his previous life?

Probably guessing that Zhang Lingyang did not know the English above, Wilson explained the contents of the letter, and finally said: "Since His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had allowed the opening of treaty ports last year, as an envoy to England, I implore His Majesty the Emperor to allow English merchants to sell all the goods of the British Empire in these treaty ports." ”

Zhang Lingyang nodded and said, "This is nature!" ”

Immediately, Zhang Lingyang thought of something again and said: "But since your country wants to come to the Great Zhou to trade, it is natural to abide by the laws of the Great Zhou, and some contraband cannot be sold in your country." ”

"Contraband?" Wilson was a little puzzled, "I don't know what contraband is in the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor?" ”

Zhang Lingyang smiled: "Naturally, it is opium ......"

Zhang Lingyang naturally understood the harm of opium, so he said all the ugly things in front.

Naturally, Wilson did not feel the slightest surprise at this.

After all, England traded with Da Zhou, mainly because they wanted to dump their spinning products.

As for opium?

England hadn't thought of making money with it yet.

So after Zhang Lingyang finished speaking, Wilson nodded and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I completely agree with your point of view, since our merchants do business in the Great Zhou, they will naturally respect the laws and customs of the Great Zhou.

But our country still has one more request, please allow His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"Tell me about it!" Zhang Lingyang said.

Wilson said: "This time, the merchants of the British Empire want to buy some silk, tea, and porcelain from the Great Zhou and return to China, and ask His Majesty the Emperor for permission. ”

This time, because hundreds of experts, scholars, and craftsmen were brought to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, England used several sea ships, so naturally they could not return empty-handed.

In addition, silk, tea, porcelain and other goods were all in high demand in Europe, and if Wilson had to go back to Canton and wait another three or five months for everything he wanted to buy, Wilson would have to go back to Canton and buy everything.

Not to mention that it takes a lot of time, even the grade of the three things purchased, such as porcelain, silk and tea, is also of inferior quality.

After all, in the Great Zhou, the best things were enjoyed by the upper echelons of the royal family, nobles, ministers, and gentry, and only the inferior ones were exported to Europe.

Therefore, Wilson wanted to purchase a batch of fine porcelain, silk, and tea through the upper echelons of the Great Zhou Dynasty to return to China.

Zhang Lingyang also understood this, and it was useless to agree, "I already understand what your envoy wants."

But the noble envoy must also understand that the price of a penny is a penny, and the price of good goods is only several times different from that of the same goods. ”

"I understand this, Your Majesty the Emperor can rest assured, how much money should be paid, I will definitely not owe a penny." Wilson naturally understood the difference between the price of good goods and the price of goods in general.

But Wilson understands better that if he buys all these good things back to Europe, then he will earn more by then.

Therefore, Wilson also immediately stated to Zhang Lingyang: He is not bad for money!

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang suddenly became happy in his heart, and said, "In that case, I allow you to go to Jiangnan to purchase those things."

Of course, I also have some good things in my hand, and if you are interested, I will really share them with you. ”

The last time Jin Yiwei raided his house in Jiangnan, in addition to some good things were brought back to the capital, there were also some chicken things left in the Jiangning branch of the Royal Bank.

It just so happened that Zhang Lingyang could take the opportunity to sell those chicken things to Wilson and make a lot of money.

When Wilson heard this, he was also very happy.

Not to mention anything else, the things of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is that something that ordinary people can afford?

I am afraid that the return of the merchant ship to England will immediately shock the aristocratic circle of the whole of Europe.

When the time comes, there will be countless people who will go to rob them.

So no matter how expensive it is, Wilson will buy it.

After all, no one is going to have trouble with silver, is there?

After a few more conversations with Wilson, Zhang Lingyang ordered someone to send Wilson out of the palace.

By the way, one person from the East Factory, Jinyiwei, and the commercial supervisor each went south to Jiangning with Wilson and sold the chicken ribs stored there to Wilson.

Of course, the price is the same as the market price.

After all, Da Zhou wants to start trade with Europe, and if Da Zhou uses deception from the beginning, I am afraid that Da Zhou will have no credibility in the international market......
