Chapter 102: FD Talks the Day After Tomorrow
【Worldwide】
Taking advantage of the unexpected loss of Spain's Armadada, Rafael Castello took the opportunity to develop his Castello Chamber of Commerce, eventually crushing the Spanish rebuilt fleet at sea and restoring Portugal's freedom. The King of Portugal www.biquge.info made him vice-king, but Raphael, who was of noble character, refused to accept it and continued to sail with the "Chamber of Commerce of Castello" he established...... However, later the headquarters of the "Castello Chamber of Commerce" was placed in the Americas, because their admiral and a beautiful girl named "Charlotte Millet" established a family here.
Li Huamei, who received strong support from the Chinese court, vigorously cracked down on the Japanese and protected the coastal people. He opened the routes of the Indian Ocean, Africa, the Mediterranean, the North Sea, and the Americas, and was canonized as the Commander-in-Chief of the Ming Navy Division after returning to China, and played a role in the increasingly active voyage trade of China.
In the Age of Discovery, which was full of opportunities and challenges, it was not only Raphael and Li Huamei who made extraordinary achievements, but also the names of Lilu Argot, Hedram Bergston, Abraham Yiwen Wooding, Tia Varman Chaska, etc., all left a brilliant mark in history.

Because the faces of the emperor, the officials of the imperial court, and the residents of the capital were red and swollen by the "God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce", which inevitably produced a sense of crisis, Huaguo changed the policy of banning the sea, not only indulged private merchants to defect to the sea, but also officially formed a fleet to open up shipping routes...... Although at this time, China's problems of corruption, poverty, luxury and extravagance had not been improved by the slightest, and the state apparatus could not be said to operate efficiently, at least China did not lag behind the world, and it also achieved great benefits in the Age of Discovery.
Under the prompting of the superficial technology displayed by the members of the "God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce", Huaguo vigorously deepened its support for technology research and development. He was the first to extract "kerosene" from petroleum and "rubber" from rubber trees in South America, and he developed groundbreaking insights into "material composition" and "mechanical structure", and for a period of time he was at the forefront of science in the world...... It is a pity that Huaguo has not been able to run out of the framework of "all research must be useful", and academic theories have not been able to improve, and this advantage has not been maintained.
This strength, which was promoted by the lies of the "God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce", showed its effect more than a hundred years later, and the Chinese country not only defeated the enemies from the north, but also opened up a larger territory. But it is impossible for a country to survive forever and never fall......

In Huaguo's values, "reputation" is an extremely important thing.
Because of Leeds's pranks, Jia Baoyu, who has made a fool of himself twice and even has been looked down on by others, let alone going to participate in the imperial examination, he will be laughed at even when he goes out, there is no drama in this life, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng finally died of their hearts. When Lin Ruhai expressed his willingness to accept Jia Lan as an apprentice, the training goals of the three gradually shifted, and Jia Baoyu raised him like that, anyway, no matter how difficult the economy of Rongguo Mansion was, he would not starve him.
Jia Baoyu is still very happy, finally no one forced him to study, but he didn't find that even the eyes of Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Xue Baochai and others when they looked at him changed, only the maids treated him better - the maids didn't care whether Jia Baoyu was wasted or not, they could bring their aunts a grade of wealth, and Jia Baoyu's appearance was still very good, better than Jia Yu next door.
…… However, the wealth of the Rongguo Mansion did not last long.
Jia Yuanchun, the virtuous concubine of the backer, died violently for some reason that he could not see the light, Wang Xifeng's many evil deeds occurred in the east window, the rulers hated the lord who had no successor, and the Zhongshun King settled accounts for Jia Baoyu's involvement with his male favorite.
Except for those who died in prison or were to be exiled, because of the name of the Duchess of Jia Muguo and left a small amount of family wealth, others don't have to worry about starving to death, but they can no longer be as poor and extravagant as before, Jia Baoyu also won the poor home he loved, which is gratifying~~ As for how he got nervous after experiencing the suffering of the poor family, that was later.
【Lin Family Related】
The idle Lin Ruhai originally only wanted to cultivate Jia Lan, who was not stained by silt, but Jia Mu on the snake and stick threw Jia Huan and Jia Cong over, so he could only sigh that he was unlucky, and his wife was reliable does not mean that his mother-in-law was reliable. Under the guidance of Lin Ruhai, who was both born in Tanhua and a former official, Jia Huan and Jia Cong, who were raised crookedly by Jiafu, finally set things right and lived like individuals.
After the Rongguo Mansion was raided, Jia Huan took his mother Aunt Zhao out to live separately, and Jia Cong also took a sum of money. Xue Baochai, who failed to keep his family wealth, was not selected as a palace maid, and looked down on Jia Baoyu, took a fancy to Jia Huan, who turned back to the prodigal son. After studying hard for many years, Jia Huan barely made achievements in the imperial examination and became a petty official, while Xue Baochai was a virtuous helper, and his life naturally could not be compared with the past, but it could be regarded as rich and healthy.
Jia Lan, who was carefully cultivated by Lin Ruhai, finally fell in love with Lin Daiyu, and after Jia Lan gained fame, the two became husband and wife...... After all, with the care of his father-in-law, Jia Lan's career is much smoother than Jia Huan's, and after Lin Daiyu was cured of tuberculosis, her body gradually improved, and she was no longer weak, and the hopes of Lin and Jia's families were born in her womb.
【Li Huamei related】
Before Leeds left the capital, he finally revealed his identity as a "person from another world" and exchanged the rare treasures prepared by Li Huamei for some special items.
After Li Huamei opened up the route and became the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Navy, she could not evade the order of the Emperor of the Kaihua Kingdom to "explore the traces of the Enclave". Li Huamei, who had long known that this was a lie concocted by Leeds, could only choose one of the "special products" left by Leeds every few years, such as otherworldly firearms, antidotes, recovery potions, mechanical armor, agility potions, strength potions, and golden apples, as the "harvest of investigation" and hand it in.
Li Huamei was convicted of the crime of deceiving the king, but through these strange things, the Emperor of Hua and the hundred officials of the imperial court firmly believed that the "Enclave" was a small country with unimaginable technology, and hid in the most desolate place in North America to fight a murderous creature called "Deathclaw", they may be small in number, and they are also hidden deeply, and it is difficult for outsiders to find their location...... Although the maritime ban policy has long been broken, and the lie will not go back now, there is pressure and motivation, which is a good thing for China, and Li Huamei decided to prolong the lie.
Incidentally, the "otherworldly firearms", which were called "evidence of the existence of the Enclave" at this time and "lost items of mysterious civilizations" in the future, greatly accelerated the emergence of semi-automatic rifles and fully automatic rifles in this world. More than 300 years later, a professor of neurology in Europe discovered the correct use of "mechanical armor", which connects metal with human nerves, so that the robotic arm can be used freely as if it were his own body, bringing good news to the disabled.
Perhaps "God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce" has long disappeared in the long river of history, but "Xiangfei Tiger" is destined to become the object of most enthusiastic research by historians.
