The trade deal has been signed, and it's all easy to say.

It was not easy for the current population of the republic to continue to resettle, but for the sake of this important trade canal, a national immigration order was issued, and 500 households were moved to live near the construction site of the canal.

At the same time, about 3,000 people moved out to live in the concessions of Amsterdam and Lisbon, and in fact they were all military families, and they changed every five years. The main purpose of their residence there was to ensure that Chinese merchants had a place to complain in the event that their business in Europe was pitted. If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't squeeze out more troops, I was afraid that every large port city would have to have such a concession!

Well, just like the one that these foreigners did in our Huaxia back then, all of them were reproduced to them!

The preparatory work for the canal has been completed, and the charitable foundation originally planned to take over all shares, but Zhang Hongbin refused, so he gave more than 30 chambers of commerce joint shares, and the chambers of commerce under the name of the Royal Chamber of Commerce and the charitable foundation also accounted for a small part of the shares.

The chambers of commerce formed a council with the right to build and vote on the operation of the canal. At the same time, an executive chairman was set up to be responsible for the specific excavation and operation of the canal. The first investment was more than 100 million yuan, and at that time, this money could make a city from a third-tier city to a first-tier city in one or two years. However, this was only the first investment in the canal.

The investors have no regrets, they all know that when the canal is dug successfully, it becomes a busy trade route, even if you collect tolls, you can receive hand cramps, and the various benefits brought by this canal are not only long-term, but also very significant.

The canal is expected to be completed in two years, employing 100,000 Ottoman and Egyptian labourers and, of course, many Indians. There are also traces of Chinese people on the construction site, but they are basically overseers. Jin Gui, a Chinese person, doesn't know now, as long as he is not as lazy as the monkeys in Southeast Asia, he can always get a decent job and get a good salary.

In fact, this is also the most headache for domestic bosses recently, that is, as Chinese people become more and more expensive, wages have also risen sharply. This is undoubtedly a huge test for domestic industry and commerce, just like the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, but all factories that are unwilling to innovate and do not want to improve efficiency can only wait to be eliminated by the market.

Before the canal was dug successfully, trade between the two places had already begun.

Not only did Africa form a large trading caravan of 3,000 merchant ships from Europe to Asia via Africa; On the Asian side, the shipowners also formed a caravan of fifty merchant ships, flying the flag of the Republic, and began to go to Europa, a barbarian land, to show the demeanor of a great country!

As for Zhang Hongbin, he was a little depressed, first because of the problem of Coke, he was chased and blocked by a group of people for several days, and he stopped after making sure that he really wouldn't drink that thing anymore. Immediately, I didn't know the health organization, and found out that a lot of fast food was unqualified, and there would be this and that problem after eating it, so I was blocked for a few days......

Zhang Hongbin was also speechless, in the future, those children eat these things every day, their parents don't say anything, why they just bought cans casually, and they chased them for a few days, and then they were blocked for so long just to let everyone eat a fast food and go to work.

Their reasons are also substantial, the king of a country must be the king of a country, and he must give a good start to the world.

You take the lead in eating this kind of bad thing, and others worship you and don't you eat it crazy? When the time comes, who will be responsible for the harm to the people!

Furthermore, His Majesty is a rare emperor through the ages, if something happens to such a holy monarch because of something bad to eat, please ...... Damn it...... But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, Your Majesty should take good care of the dragon body!

Anyway, this kind of speech made Zhang Hongbin feel that he became the emperor and engaged in a constitutional monarchy, so as not to die of exhaustion like Yongzheng. But I didn't expect that as an emperor, my words and deeds would be so concerned. It seems that it is really possible to be as free as before, but it is unlikely.

In the end, Zhu Cunyuan said something human: "Your Majesty, you too, what are you doing in front of them?" Behind closed doors, what do you want? ”

At that moment, Zhang Hongbin felt that all his troubles had been resolved......

In addition to rejoicing, he naturally had to ask curiously: "Speaking of which, Xiaoniu, you haven't been home for a long time, why did you suddenly remember to come back?" ”

Although Zhu Cunyuan is not a queen, she is also a concubine, and she is also Zhang Cai's mother. But she is rarely in the palace, but like a real scientist, she stays in the Academy of Sciences twenty-four hours a day to conduct research, and she doesn't come back for a long time, and she doesn't seem to take the harem for favor anymore.

"If it is explained in a scientific way...... The female hormone secretion of the concubine is relatively vigorous these days. If it is commonly said, it means that the concubine thinks of His Majesty. Zhu Cunyuan said with a little shame.

Yes, there is no need to say anything about the rest, pick it up without saying a word, throw it directly on the bed, and close the door without saying a word......

"Your Majesty, what other good things are there in the Yashan Society, which you didn't take out?" After finishing his work, Zhu Cunyuan lay beside Zhang Hongbin, and asked in a low voice while drawing circles on his chest with his fingers.

"I'm afraid there are many, many more." Zhang Hongbin thought for a while and said.

"Then, what are the requirements to become a member of the Yashan Society?" Zhu Cunyuan asked suddenly.

"How did you come up with the idea to ask this?" Zhang Hongbin asked a little vigilantly.

"Speaking of which, on the way back from the concubine today, there is probably nothing to do, so it is inevitable that she will think about it for a while. Then I suddenly found that if it was a hundred years of His Majesty...... Of course, that's a matter for the future, but I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case," Zhu Cunyuan said a little reservedly.

"Well, don't say that word, I've been hearing it a lot lately!" Zhang Hongbin was really disgusted with words like '10,000' and 'what if'.

"Okay, the concubine is just worried, when the time comes, there will be more and more cash things in the Ruoya Mountain Society, but His Majesty is no longer there, how can we continue to get in touch with them?" Zhu Cunyuan finally said the worry in his heart.

Speaking of which, if the technology of Yashan Society has come to an end, it is nothing, after all, there is nothing to squeeze anymore, and if it is gone, it will be gone.

But now, when someone has a submarine, Zhang Hongbin has made a dreadnought-class battleship, and even has any space teleportation technology. It is conceivable that in three or four hundred years, these technologies are not yet accessible to people at this stage. And what about better things, who can guarantee that there will be none?

The question arises, if Zhang Hongbin is gone, who will contact Yashan Society? Now it seems that Zhang Hongbin is the only one who can contact the mysterious organization of the Yashan Society, if he leaves, then the Yashan Society will disappear from then on, which is undoubtedly a great pity for the Chinese people.

This also reminded Zhang Hongbin that if he died, could the system be inherited?
