In the middle of the discussion, the "jingle" music sounded, and the first poloniez dance began.

For girls attending high society events, the ball's dresses were usually bright colors and decorated with light streamers. Girls like Anna wore a small pearl necklace, and only married wives were allowed to wear expensive jewelry and black clothing.

Zhang Yuan has no interest in dancing, even if this kind of dance party is full of extravagant flavors that humans instinctively like.

The upper class here is extremely open, and as long as they are not married, everyone is very tolerant of all kinds of romances. His dead ghost daddy doesn't know how many sneaky lovers there are, and even become the talk of women's boudoirs, and he is proud of it......

Every world has its own temptations, and in this strange and dark world, there are only a few people who can live in abundance. Some people can sell their children for a bite to eat; Some people are toiling in the dark mines; There were also a small number of people singing and dancing in the room.

In particular, they are already destined to be a member of the Yingge Yan Dance at birth, or join them completely. Or, go for a change.

But it is extremely difficult to change anything, and how can the whole world's cake be distributed evenly if it is only so big?

Can we change Marx's principles by transcribing them to the world?

No.

Zhang Yuan shook his head gently.

Entrenched capitalism is nothing compared to the problems of small habitable territory, poor productivity, backward technology, lack of food, high illiteracy rates, and the existence of slavery.

The first dance was a grand poloniez, which all the invitees had to dance, even if they sat at the tables and gambled all night long.

The rhythm of this dance is very slow, and the movements are not complicated. Immediately afterwards, there were a large number of old gamblers, who gathered together to gamble with great interest. There were large numbers of nobles who were downcast because of gambling. That's good, someone is down, and someone can be promoted.

The second dance, often a kadriel.

The third is a passionate waltz, a performance by men and women who are good at dancing.

Finally, there is the Kotirong Dance, which provides many opportunities to catch up with your sweetheart, talk about love, confess, etc., and is everyone's favorite dance.

Zhang Yuan ate a little pastry casually, and while thinking, he recalled a poem he had read, "Evgeny 61 Onegin".

[Before, it was full of lust and laughter, I love the prom so much that I love it so much, you can secretly stuff a note, and there is no better place to talk about love. Dear married man! Will you accept a little bit of my giving? 】

There were really a lot of girls who handed him some notes, and some married men were secretly watching him.

Zhang Yuan didn't have a habit of cuckolding other men, and he was afraid that his sister would run out and mess with the relationship in this environment, so he just pulled Anna and jumped round and round until she was about to faint on the ground, so she was relieved and bold to do business.

"Young Earl, you should choose a suitable dance partner, and not restrain your sister here...... She has grown up and has a mind of her own. The gray-haired Duke joked on the side.

He likes to see young people full of energy, and he may even find his next encounter here.

"Lord Duke, I have a business I want to talk to you about." Zhang Yuan turned his head and looked at the other party's old face: "Do you have a spare fleet?" ”

"What do you mean......" The old man's eyes flashed, and he returned to his seriousness in the face of this big business.

In this world, a single city cannot support itself, and each city has its own specialty.

Boulder produced coal and steel, so it was the center of the empire; Further west, in the cities of the Twilight Zone, fruits, vegetables, and grains are produced; There are also places rich in fish, spices, gemstones, wine, and so on.

What connects these cities is navigation.

Most of the nobles had a seafaring business. If you don't have your own trading network, you will quickly lose out in the fierce competition.

Zhang Yuan's "father" died in a shipwreck a year ago, and the entire fleet was buried at the bottom of the sea, and the entire family, although still alive, had to reshape its own trade network.

The old man quickly sorted out his thoughts, they were not in direct competition with Zhang Yuan's family, and it was no problem for a small helper. And he also appreciates the motivation of young people to dare to go out and make such an investment.

"Of course, renting a fleet requires collateral and rent, and it's not free."

"That's fine." Zhang Yuan replied: "I still have some shares in the candy factory and the steel factory, which can be mortgaged to you." As for the rest of the property, I would like to leave it to my sister. If I am unfortunate enough to be shipwrecked, I hope you will take care of my father's face and pass on the title to her children. ”

The two kept talking about the end of the prom and then signed an agreement to that effect.

In fact, Zhang Yuan relied on the steam machinery design drawings in his hands, and he could completely open a machining factory and live a prosperous and wealthy life. In other words, with the existing contacts and resources, to do some financial industry, the capitalism of the whole society has just developed to the initial stage, and there are too many opportunities to sail on their own.

Zhang Yuan just wanted to know more about the whole world.

As for these drawings, he was going to find an opportunity to throw them directly to his sister and let her deal with them. After you don't have any worries, do what you want to do. How much money can be made doesn't matter to Zhang Yuan at all.

Two months passed quickly......

A large ship with a displacement of 4,000 tons has already stayed in the harbor, although it is not a real fleet, and it is finally able to start normal trade.

Anna grabbed her skirt and watched Zhang Yuan leave with a reluctant face, after two months of friendly relationship, she has become Zhang Yuan's loyal fan sister. In two months, Zhang Yuanyong handled all kinds of troubles in the original factory, including personal relationships, very well, and the little pimple in her heart had long since disappeared, and she had also cut off contact with her original bad girlfriends.

She finally understood why her father had suddenly changed his mind and was willing to pass on the title to her brother, who had been sick before......

It's just a gap in IQ!

"Don't die!" Anna shouted as she saw them walk out the door.

Zhang Yuan laughed out loud and waved his hand, "No!" ”
