Chapter 288: I Heard and Adult

Montague Café Café

I heard that the two guests said that they were running away to clear our eyes! The smuggling man became interested: "Peter, the guest's coffee, put it on my account." As he spoke, he threw two silver coins to the innkeeper. Let the family owe us the cause and effect first, and then use the message to pay it back slowly! If the coffee is not enough, you can also invite dinner! This is called paying first and then getting the goods! No cause and effect is left. Ha!

"Hello! My name is Hong! I am Chinese! After my ancestor left China, he settled overseas! When I heard the news of my homeland today, I couldn't help but want to inquire more. Ha!"A rare and atmospheric stingy man, he invited a guest with the two silver pieces he saved in the library today!

It should be thanked to the Europeans at this time for inventing the hat as a salute. No handshakes, no hugs, no physical contact!

It's not that the smuggling man has a habit of cleanliness or anything! It's that he is afraid of humans parasitized by the imprint of the Heavenly Dao of the Flood Desolation! If you come into contact with them, you may be found to have traces of innate aura.

Seeing that this middle-aged Chinese was so enthusiastic, the other party immediately raised his hat and saluted: "You are so generous! Thank you! My name is Adam, and I am running the Qingguo trade in the East India Company!"

"I've heard that the East India Company was run by the Dutch, so why do you British people take charge of the trade?" This trick is called tickling! A stingy man has just learned it! I've heard of the British East India Company on a mail ship, and this time, let the family have a good time for a quarter of an hour.

Sure enough, the British were scratched in the itch: "Sir may have misunderstood the history of the East India Company!"

At the end of the fifteenth century, the Portuguese fleet first arrived in India and began trade between East and West.

However, it is the Netherlands that is really making huge profits. In 1599, the Netherlands more than doubled the price of pepper in Europe.

Soon, many European countries set up the "East India Company," which was responsible for trade between the East and the West.

The British East India Company was formed in 1600, two years before the Netherlands. Then there was the Dutch East India Company, the Danish East India Company, the Portuguese East India Company, the French East India Company, and the Swedish East India Company, which appeared more than forty years ago.

The Dutch focus was only on the spice trade in Southeast Asia, and relatively little attention was paid to India. And Britain is running India in full force!

So, Britain is not replacing the Netherlands, but the focus of the two countries, each with its own difference!"

"Oh! I see! Thank you! By the way, what are we doing with Qingguo, what are we doing with the trade point?" As for whether the British robbed the Dutch, it has nothing to do with us!

Adam was scratched again, and began to dance with his eyebrows: "There are so many good things in the Qing Kingdom! Porcelain, silk, and tea, these three kinds of daily necessities, have a wide market in Europe!"

For example, porcelain, from the royal family to the commoners, is used every day, broken every day, and needs to be added every day!

For example, although the Spaniards promote coffee everywhere, most people in Europe are still attracted by the Chinese black tea! How convenient black tea is! You can brew it if you want to! Like this coffee, you have to have craftsmanship to brew the taste!

Don't look at the low profit margin of the trade of Chinese products, but you can't afford to carry a large amount! Compared with the scale of the Dutch spice trade, that's a lot!

Alas, I'm a little worried, what does our British Empire take to export to China? We can't always export silver!" Of course, the British didn't say anything, and secretly pulled some opium paste. It's not a glamorous thing!

"I'm curious! Can you meet their emperor?" slowly pulled out the topic. The stingy man is actually really curious, when the British see Qianlong, who is pimping?

Actually, if you really want to know, it's not difficult! As long as you increase your induction and keep an eye on every move in the Qianqing Palace. However, the consumption of spiritual energy will be a sea! There is no need to be not? What can be found out by two silver coins, only a fool will use his spiritual energy to sense!

Speaking of meeting the emperor, Adam was full of complaints: "Actually, the emperor of the Qing Kingdom also wants to sign a trade agreement with us! It's just that the emperor of the Qing Kingdom has to kneel! This is uncomfortable! We don't have the saying that we have seen the king bow to the king! We only bow to the Lord and bow to the Lord!"

If it is a personal identity, then it will be recognized! But if it is on behalf of the British Empire, who would dare to kneel? No, it will freeze there!

Of course, we can't say that we don't want to kneel or anything. Let's say that we Westerners have stiff knee joints and can't kneel!"

The smuggling man expressed deep sympathy: "It is also said that according to Western etiquette, the Qing country has lost face! According to the etiquette of the Qing country, Britain has also lost face! Huh? By the way, the officials in charge of their contact did not think of a compromise solution?"

That official named He Kun was in charge of the trade between the East and the West, and his family was directly involved in the import and export business, so he was bent on facilitating a meeting between the two sides.

This time, I came with several sets of plans that I had negotiated with the adult to seek support! No, I was waiting for a reply! It's been a month and a half!" Adam seems to complain about the work style of the British House of Lords. Ha!

In a month and a half, how much profit will you have to lose from the trade of smuggled goods, how much profit you have to lose from opium, and how much more you have to pay for the hotel!

"Alas, all officials are like this! You have to find connections and acquaintances!" The smuggling man expressed his helplessness at the bureaucracy.

As we talked, it was time for dinner. Because he didn't want to inquire about anything, the stingy man didn't ask for a treat, and with the greeting of the innkeeper, he entered the restaurant and took a seat.

Because it is a package meal, the dishes are all well matched, a bit like the fast food restaurants of later generations, but with a little more wine or something.

After dinner, the diners smiled and nodded, and then dispersed.

After dinner, we usually take a walk with the crowd. Fortunately, it was already night, and there were no high-brightness street lights in London at this time. There are only candlelit street lights, and the number is still small. I don't worry about being seen as rare.

"Huh, boss, according to the book, Britain at this time should have begun the industrial revolution! Why don't I feel the pinch at all?" Chen Yaogan and Chen Ranran are memories of the fifth grade of the original primary school, and they have learned historical knowledge.

Deity: "I don't know. Otherwise, it is estimated that London is the capital, and the factories will not be opened; or the steam engine has not yet been invented! By the way, it must have not been invented yet! Otherwise, London would not be called the capital of fog! The capital of fog and fog, the capital of smog!"

"That. We have to remember the blue sky in London now! Before the Industrial Revolution, the last blue sky ha!

Deity: "It's useless! People don't believe it! As soon as the computer synthesis technology of later generations comes out, people will give you a bluer sky!"

It's remote sensing, you can record the scene in Europe. Go back and open a European plane in the twenty-four heavens!"
