Chapter 323: Friends and Enemies of the Empire

The next day, the Governor of the Second Minor officially received David Charles, the plenipotentiary of Earl Quy, who was accompanied by a slime.

Last night, Slime accompanied David Charles to take a hot bath in the senior bathing center, and also had people massage and scrub baths.

David Charles exclaimed that these Orientals were indeed the descendants of the Roman Empire!

The slime didn't bother with the topic------ they were descendants of the Eastern Shang Empire, which was much earlier than the Roman Empire.

The slime asked someone from the high-end bathing center to shave his beard, because it was especially easy to get dirty when he ate with his beard, which would make others laugh.

David Charles immediately agreed, and took care of his long hair in an Oriental ponytail.

The slime taught him the proper way to apply perfume and never pour it on him!

I also bought him new underwear and underwear, and changed into beautiful socks and leather shoes.

Slimes can't tolerate people around them now not wearing underwear and underwear!

David Charles came with some clothes with him------ so he left it to himself.

In this way, a clean and neat young man appeared in front of the little second governor.

With a slime in charge of communication, the two of them talked without any obstacles.

Young people are young people, and after a few words, David Charles went straight to the point, explaining the purpose of his coming here one by one.

First of all, it is necessary to buy 2,000 weapons of the kind called "fire cap firearms" and 100 weapons of the kind called "marching artillery", and the ammunition corresponding to them should also be purchased in large quantities.

The Governor of the Second Junior smiled and asked, "Didn't you imitate the beating and casting?" ”

David Charles honestly said:

"Dear Governor------ we're trying, but we don't seem to understand how the cap and gunpowder are made!

Count Quy thinks that the most important thing is to defend the security of Flanders' territory, so we need a lot of weapons now------"

The Governor glanced at the slime, and it seemed that he had not secretly revealed the secret of making gunpowder.

He knew that the arsenal on Liberty Island contained about 3,000 firecap-type guns that had long been obsolete, as well as some cast-iron guns that were long overdue.

However, his master family thought at the time that it would be a pity if these equipment were only destroyed as raw materials, and the technology of ------ fire caps, which could be sold in the future, would not be able to be made by the people of this time and space for another two hundred years.

When the second governor of Xiaoer went west, he just let him take most of the half, and handed over the rest to the fleet of ships heading east------ so he could use them to arm the local natives.

But the world is unpredictable, I didn't expect it to be like this now.

The second governor thought for a moment and said, "Yes! ------ we can also guarantee that we will continue to supply you with the arms you need in the future. ”

David Charles smiled happily, but immediately added: "Count Quy hopes that the Empire of the Great Shang Confederation will not sell similar arms to King Philip IV of France in the future------"

The Governor shook his head at this time and said:

"It's not the Great Merchants Federation Empire that sells arms to you------ but the Yindian Group Company that sells to you------ and the New Oriental Group Company, as well as some small arms manufacturers, can also sell them freely------ of course, it will take a long time for them to come here."

David Charles frowned------ it would be terrible if someone sold an Oriental weapon like Philip IV in the future.

The Governor of the Second Junior said slowly:

"As far as I know, after the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England have purchased them, your batch of weapons will be the last batch in the warehouses of Liberty Island------ if you want to buy them in large quantities, at least until the next year------

Ah, two years!

David Charles laughed and ------Two years is enough time for them to develop!"

They can also unite with other principalities------ such as the Gascony territory occupied by King Edward Longlegs------ the strength of the Kingdom of England should be restored in two years!

The Viceroy of the Second Lieutenant still said slowly:

"We will only bring trade and civilization to the European region, and we will not participate in the entanglement between countries and regions in Europe------ of course, in the principle of free trade first, we may help our friends, and we will also correct some wrong practices!

We have no interest in the land of Europe, and we do not want to get ill-gotten gains------"

Slime carefully translated this large passage, and basically said the subtext of the second governor of the junior second.

After listening to it, David Charles thought about it for a while, and immediately really understood ------ whoever will insist on free trade will be a friend of Liberty Island------ otherwise, he will be an enemy and will be "corrected"!

David Charles breathed a sigh of relief, the most important task was accomplished, and the rest was done.

David Charles offered to work together to open a large shipyard in Flandershaven.

The Viceroy of the Second Lieutenant fully agreed with the cooperation between the two sides, but thought that the first thing to do now was that Count Qu Yi should send 500 shipbuilders to the Nankai region, where there was a newly built shipyard in the Federal Empire.

All the machines used to build ships there were well equipped, which greatly saved time in shipbuilding, and the ships were far more durable and tonnage than those built by the original methods------ and after three years, the craftsmen had really learned to use the machinery and equipment, and had all the necessary machinery and equipment, and then built a large shipyard in Flandershaven.

The Viceroy added, saying:

"The London shipyard of the Kingdom of England can also build a sea ship like ours, but the tonnage is too small and the quality is not too good------ two hundred tons of sea ship can only be said to be barely enough------ it is too dangerous to sail in the sea!"

David Charles's blue eyes rolled for a moment, and he said, "We agree to do so, but the Earl of Quy has the right of first refusal to buy the ships he has built!" ”

Well, this young man is smart, the right of first refusal, it's like building a shipyard for them------ but, a white-skinned and blue-eyed man, do you think our shipyard will be like you've seen?

Your shipyard of a few thousand people can only build a maximum of two 500-ton sailing oars at a time?!

If the Nankai Shipyard borrows 500 of your craftsmen to build it, it can build five five-masted ships of thousands of tons at the same time, and complete it within three months!

Your earl is rich, but the price of one is three hundred pounds, how much can you buy at one time?!

The Governor happily agreed to the other party's bargain.

Next is some simple cooperation content, which is nothing more than the construction of a new business district, underwriting and underwriting some small things.

After several rounds of bargaining, they quickly settled on them one by one.

As if inadvertently, the Governor of the Second Junior mentioned the matter of the joint flowering of the cotton industry.

The Governor of the Second Minor motioned to Slime to introduce him to the cotton industry of the Federal Empire------ although he had not worked in the cotton spinning field during his military training, he had never seen and heard of it.

Sure enough, the slime happily described it to him.

The Governor stood up, grinded some coffee beans with a hand-cranked coffee machine, brewed three cups of coffee, and added some sugar appropriately.

After taking a sip, David Charles said with a bitter face:

"Like Count Quy, I like to add a little more milk and a little more sugar------ if it's the kind of thing called tea, we add a little sugar!"

The second governor smiled, only the nouveau riche liked to add a lot of sugar.

The right amount of bitterness is what makes coffee so fascinating.

Drinking tea also adds sugar? That's how to drink dirt buns.

But he didn't say anything, and just handed the sugar jar over.

Add as much as you want, you can do it yourself.
