Yang Meng and De Terich met for a short time, and after negotiating the deal, De Terich left happily, Yang Meng was also in a good mood, and looking at Ding Taichen, who had promised ten tons of high-concentration cloud smoke, the third master felt very good.

"Third master, Prussia is just an overseas country, is it necessary for us to intersect with them?"

Ten tons of cloud smoke is a golden mountain, and it is also highly concentrated, although I don't know the specific production process of the cloud, but how the cloud smoke came from, Ding Taichen is still clear.

These ten tons of cloud smoke are thirty or forty tons of ordinary goods, and they are promised with a light sentence, which is inevitably a bit of a loser.

"It is very necessary that it will be neither England nor France that will cause trouble in Europe in the future, only this Prussia, England and France are our enemies, whether they cooperate or not, these two countries have too great ambitions for us.

It would be no harm to us to befriend Prussia and let him harm Britain and France in the future, after all, we can't kill it, even if we have this strength, we can't kill it, and once we pass, it will inevitably make the Europeans huddle together and let them smoke into endless infighting, wouldn't it be better?

The war between countries is the generator of hatred, a war with hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded, affecting a hundred years, we instigate it from time to time, wouldn't it be better for the hatred between them to accumulate deeper and deeper?

If there is no external force, if you fight for a long time, it will be peace, but with external force, it is difficult to say, it is best for these bastards to keep fighting, let's see how lively it is? ”

Increase the hatred between the races, let them themselves slaughter each other, the means used by the great powers. Yang Meng also has to be used on them. War is the most lucrative place to do business. It takes a lot of things to rise, and slowly plunging Europe into war, and making money by watching the drama on the sidelines is the best choice.

"After that, should we be nicer to the Prussian merchants?"

Now the Yang family's business is no longer just a business, there are too many other things mixed in it. Ding Taichen was also a little constrained when he started to do things, and he couldn't figure out the relationship inside, but he was afraid that he would delay the third master's plan.

"Hmmm! The things on the surface still have to be done, as long as it is the German Confederation, we can let it go, and lay down a close relationship, there are a lot of ways in it, and when importing and exporting, use their respective units of measurement. It's a discount, and the price of Yunyan can't be too different. You should be able to play these, right?

There is also a high concentration of cloud smoke, if Prussia wants it in the future, it will only trade the Dleiser and the cannon, and the price is higher, but we have to take the opportunity to strengthen the Prussian military industry, after all, these are tools of war.

Their military industrial strength has become stronger, and they have more confidence in foreign expansion. ”

Is Yunyan just a business? Absolutely not, Yang Meng can easily manipulate the European market through barter transactions, and if he wants an industry to grow, as long as the price of Yunyan is reduced, there will naturally be countless people who sharpen their heads to drill.

"Alas...... When I was in Yunnan, I felt that I had become, but when I arrived in Guangzhou, I realized that I was not a falcon, but just a chick. ”

Ding Taichen also had a feeling, his heart was black and poisonous, and his previous understanding was only in the vendetta in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect that the twists and turns between countries were full of things with black hands and poisonous hands.

It looks like a good thing, but in fact, it is a failure that has been a disaster for decades, it looks like a bad thing, but what you get is all benefits, the means that the third master plays these days are absolutely subversive for Ding Taichen.

If it weren't for Yang Meng's explanation, Ding Taichen would have thought that the third master had softened, but after saying it, he knew how dark his third master's heart was and how poisonous his hands were.

Don't look at the fact that all parties are profitable now, once the time comes, there will be countless casualties! Not to mention anything else, just one cloud of smoke will kill countless people.

Thinking of that terrifying number, Ding Taichen shuddered a little, these things, tobacco has been done again in the Qing Dynasty, and the imperial court has repeatedly banned it, and the third master's means are clever, and once he comes and goes, he makes the clouds and smoke made by tobacco and soil become a commodity that the courts of various countries compete for.

"Take your time! There is only one standard, the heart of the non-my race must be different, as long as it is not yellow-skinned and black-haired, it is an enemy, even if it is yellow-skinned and black-haired, it is not necessarily a friend, as long as you see someone, you will be an enemy, calculate it first, and then make up for it after you do a bad job!

Although we are engaged in trading, our trading is different from that of businessmen, and our trading is for the sake of rising.

Now is the time to do dirty work and tiring work, as long as our people give a thumbs up, we don't care about the lives and deaths of others.

The Qing Dynasty is still there, we don't need to bear what we do, when the time comes, it will be pushed to the Qing Dynasty, and when we get up, it will be time to wash away this filth, leaving the Qing Dynasty with a lasting reputation, we should also be good people for all living beings, this is the big way. ”

I don't necessarily understand many things when I say them, and telling Ding Taichen the goal is what Yang Meng taught him, and harming all those who do business with the Yang family is the purpose of the moment.

"Zhilu said! Then I'll go down first. ”

Although he was a little ignorant when he heard it, Ding Taichen felt as if he had grabbed something, and it was only right to go back and savor it.

"Third master, Andre is here!"

Ding Taichen, who had just walked out of the courtyard, got the news of Andrei's arrival, and as soon as Detrich of Prussia left, Andrei came on his hind feet, so it should be no good thing.

"Hawk-eyed dog-nosed donkey ears, this is the politician, let him in!"

In Yang Meng's eyes, the appearance of foreign devils is almost the same, but in the eyes of foreign devils, which country is it, it is very clear, it seems that Detrich's whereabouts are not hidden, and he was detected by Andre.

"What about Detrich?"

"What to say, what to say, this is also a bargaining chip, Detrich is here, we have more choices, although we just want to cooperate with France, but André doesn't know what to do!"

After ordering Ding Taichen, Yang Meng picked up the tea cup and drank the tea soup that had been cold. Wake up and prepare to deal with Andrei.

"General Yang. I heard that you met with people from Prussia? ”

It's true that the French have a feud with England. But relations with Prussia were no better, close neighbors, old enemies, Prussian actions, made Andrei a little worried.

"Hmmm! A person from the military, who came for the clouds, doesn't seem to be something that Special Envoy Andre should care about, right? ”

Although Andre's question was a little annoying, Yang Meng still answered his question, I was afraid that listening to this French envoy would be even more uncomfortable, right?

"And what about the cooperation between us?"

"Cooperation? Our cooperation? Can it be counted verbally? ”

"Let's start now!"

"Good! I have a group of people. Do you have a way to learn how to lay train tracks? There is also the technique of a large steam engine, do you have a way to do this? ”

Yang Meng's words are also twisted and turned, although the train track can be connected with the steam engine, but the large steam engine is prepared by Yang Meng for the sea ship.

"This is okay, if I go back this time, I can bring a group of people, how many people do you have?"

It's nothing more than learning, and this condition Andrei himself can decide. France is not a closed country, and in theory everyone is welcome.

"How many people can you bring. I have as many people as I want, and if you don't have enough ships, I can also provide a few merchant ships. ”

Learning things is the first priority, this is placed in front of the military, and the weapons of war are just the embodiment of science and technology, which is also the purpose of Yang Meng's cooperation with France.

"One or two hundred! After all, we are working together for the first time, and it is not good to have more people! ”

Cooperating with this General Yang, although it is basically the same, Andre did not dare to make a ten-out reply, one or two hundred people, how can they be placed, and it is not too eye-catching, if there are many people, it is inevitable that there will be no small actions on the English side.

"Five hundred! 100 people learn the manufacture of steam engines, 400 people learn the laying of railways, and the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway is the link between us, and this should be put in the first place.

Don't you have an expedition in Annam? Just let them survey the terrain.

Tae-jin, bring the map. ”

Cooperation should be mutually beneficial, Yang Meng moved out of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, as long as the French are not fools in power, they will definitely vigorously support the construction of this railway.

The Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, Yang Meng is very familiar with his route and construction time, less than 1,000 kilometers of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, was built in 1903, pushed forward 50 years to build, although the difficulty has been increased, but the road map is in Yang Meng's heart, saving the trouble of argumentation, only a herringbone bridge is a test of the industrial level of France.

As long as you learn to erect a herringbone bridge, the mountains and valleys of Yunnan are not a problem, and a herringbone iron bridge that has not had any problems for a hundred years is an example for Yang Meng to build bridges in Yunnan in the future.

After receiving the map handed by Ding Taichen, Yang Meng drew the entire Yunnan-Vietnam Railway completely according to the route in his heart.

"This is the road map, let your expedition team investigate, here, here and these places need iron bridges, this is the general structure of iron bridges.

I will let people do the work in Yunnan now, and as for your side, after the argument, if it is feasible, the Annan side will be your business. ”

No one is a fool, although Yang Meng's writing and painting are simple, but Andre knows the cost of the road, and Andre understands the map, the route drawn by Yang Meng is not the point, but the places that he marked out that need to build bridges are the focus.

Is it a chance to be able to choose a route between two countries and clearly remember every place where a bridge needs to be built? If it weren't for General Yang's previous planning, it would be impossible to have such a roadmap.

"General Yang, is France your only option?"

Looking at the road map drawn by Yang Meng, Andre asked a digression.

"Not the only one! This is something that I have been planning for almost five years, and whoever can help me build this railway will be my partner, after all, the geographical location of Yunnan is too remote.

Although the Yangtze River and the Pearl River can connect Yunnan, they are also easy to be blocked, and the traffic arteries on the road are too far away from other places to be easily blocked.

I don't need to explain too much about this stuff, do I? ”

Negotiation is a combination of fiction and reality, Yang Meng is telling the truth now, and it is also the reason why he was the first to sell Annan, now this railway is very important to Yunnan, and many technical things must be familiar in the construction process of this railway.

"This railway is too long and too expensive, it's not for me to decide, I'll give you an answer as soon as possible!"

From the beginning, Andre's name for Yang Meng has also changed, and he has come up with this road map, this young old fox has surpassed Andre in status, once the two cooperate, this General Yang can only be the existence that Andre looks up to.

"Hmmm! It is reasonable to tell you the top level of the government about this railway and my demands, and I hope that within a year, this railway can start construction and open to traffic within two years! ”

The original Yunnan-Vietnam Railway was built for six years, but Yang Meng did not have so much patience, as long as France laid down Annam, there was no shortage of coolies, coupled with the progress of Yunnan, as long as the iron bridge was no problem, it should be no big problem within two years.

The cooperation with France is only two or three years, and how can the contradictions and conflicts be exacerbated if Annan's coolies are not mobilized in large quantities? (To be continued......)
