Tao Donglai can understand the thirst for steam engines in Annan and Fujian, after all, after seeing the effects of Haihan's extensive use of steam engines in social production and military fields in recent years, I am afraid that it is difficult for anyone to remain unmoved. Moreover, these two allies are deep pockets and willing to spend money, and if they can get the technology to make steam engines for just spending money, then they will definitely invest a lot of money in this field.

However, even if they made such a request with full sincerity, they still couldn't let Haihan's side relent. After all, this is not a bargain in the field of trade, this year and next year to earn a little more and less money will not die, the application of the steam engine is related to the development prospects and international status of Haihan in the next few decades or even longer, the later other countries master the steam engine technology, the greater the first-mover advantage of Haihan on the road to industrialization, compared with this long-term national interest, the small profits in front of us can only be ignored.

This is probably also the situation that Annan and Fujian, as allies, rarely receive special treatment from Haihan, and they will inevitably feel a little frustrated. Schneider said that he would lower tariffs on agricultural products exported from the two places to Haihan, which is the main area for Haihan to purchase materials from the two places every year, which is equivalent to giving them profits in disguise.

As for the plan to participate in the development of Liaodong, these two companies actually do not have too strong desires. Annan is powerless because of the distance, and the Fujian side has to take into account the feelings of the Ming court, after all, Xu Xinsu is still hanging on the post of the general army of Fujian, if he reaches out to Liaodong to follow the Haihan to do things, he will not be able to hide it after all. Although Xu Xinsu now cares less and less about the will of the imperial court, it is still easy to provoke people to be afraid of stretching his hand across the boundary, and even in Guangdong and Zhejiang, which are close at hand, Xu Xinsu is extremely restrained and does not compete for a share of the local maritime trade.

If you want to send people to Liaodong, Xu Xinsu is more willing to send his elite to the battlefield over there to temper at this stage, rather than sending merchants to the local area to seize the market. What the Fujian Xu clan is short of now is not money, but the armed forces that can make the Xu clan self-reliant. This is not Xu Xinsu's intention to split the territory from the Ming Dynasty and establish himself as the king, but if he wants to be uncontrolled by others, or to make the Ming court give him and his family more privileges, then a strong armament is an indispensable condition. This is like in the face of Haihan's strong ships and cannons, no one can calmly say "no", having dealt with Haihan for so many years, Xu Xinsu has long understood the truth that you must have strength before you can have confidence.

Failing to get permission to buy a steam engine from Haihan, Xu Yuzhuo was of course disappointed, but this was basically still in his expectations. In fact, this is not the first time that the Fujian side has proposed to Haihan to buy a steam engine, but basically the answer received is the same every time, and Haihan has never shown any signs of relenting in this regard. This time he made a request to Haihan with Zheng Zheng, in fact, it was just a chance that a dead horse would be a live horse doctor, and it would be a good thing if luck really came true, but if he was sternly rejected by Haihan as in the past, it would not hurt too much.
