Da Ming is like a huge spider web, and the green bead is the largest spider in the middle of the spider web.

Li Yongfang is old, and he no longer cares about the affairs of the Intelligence Bureau. Green Beads inherited his father's business and became the first leader of the Intelligence Bureau after the reorganization. Years of experience as an agent have made her a legend of Daming.

Many people only know that Daming's intelligence leader is a stunning beauty, but few people have really seen Lu Zhu's appearance.

Now, this stunning beauty is sitting opposite Li Xiao, and the two of them are drinking grapes from France together.

"Napoleon was enough to stammer, and this time the French suffered heavy losses in the European war. If it weren't for the marshal, you would have joined the war if you attacked Paris.

This time Napoleon will definitely die!

The anti-French alliance paid a huge price, with more than 900,000 people left in Britain alone. The number of deaths has reached a staggering more than 400,000, and the casualty ratio has reached 1 to 2.

I think the British Empire is going to lick its wounds for a long time! ”

"It's just that Britain is so badly wounded?" Almost all the monarchies of Europe participated in the anti-French alliance, and if Britain suffered such heavy casualties, wouldn't the casualties of other countries be even more serious?

When did the French have such a strong fighting force!

"The British were pitted, except for Prussia, which suffered a hundred thousand casualties. The rest of the casualties are basically covered by the British! Russian and Austro-Hungarian reinforcements were withdrawn after only a short period of time in the Alps.

The troops sent by Sweden together amounted to only 9,000 men. Switzerland remained neutral, and none of the southern European countries were involved in the war.

The Danes were even more insidious, and together with the Norwegians, attacked Corsica. After a big robbery, he withdrew, and also attacked the French in the name of a surprise attack.

Napoleon's hometown was robbed, and he was so angry that he almost went crazy. But he can't help it, the army of the French army is okay, and when it comes to the navy, there is no way.

I can only verbally shout about it! ”

"The second child watched Napoleon's hometown being robbed? As far as I know, the Ming Dynasty is the hegemon of the Mediterranean. When will it be the turn of the Danes and Norwegians to be heroes! Li Xiao was very surprised, now the Mediterranean Sea is not much different from the Ming Inland Sea.

The small countries along the Mediterranean, all of them are extremely honest. The Italians were only focused on the goods of the Ming Dynasty, and the shrewd Venetian merchants tried their best to get the goods of the Ming Dynasty back to Europe.

Daming's flour, cotton cloth, and various industrial products will not be sold as long as they are trafficked to Europe.

Especially for the cotton cloth of the Ming Dynasty, there is not a single decent weaving factory in the whole of Europe. There is not even a single decent loom in the whole of Europe!

The cotton cloth of the Ming Dynasty was dumped in, and the cheap and good cotton cloth of the Ming Dynasty destroyed the cotton spinning industry in fragile Europe in an instant.

Lu Zhu didn't speak, and Li Xiao didn't speak.

After a long time, Li Xiao nodded. He understood, there was something wrong with this. There can only be one reason why even the green beads are not willing to participate.

That Li Second Master Li Xiu of the Ming Navy in his hand!

Looking at Daming, only Li Xiu can make Luzhu scruple like this.

"In the past few years, the country will not be peaceful, and I should pay more attention to the country. After all, those people in the Ministry of Supervision are not as capable as you, although many of them are your old subordinates, and those who should be helped should be helped.

As for foreign countries, countries with good development momentum will sell them the same game that North American territory is playing now. What kind of lofty words such as democracy and civilization, suddenly greet upwards.

If we want democracy, we need to overthrow the current tyranny.

It won't be long before the people of those countries themselves will mess up the country without us having to do it. When the time comes, our money will go in and buy high-quality assets in those countries, and it will be our Daming who will make money. ”

Li Xiao took a sip of wine, although it was an authentic Bordeaux wine, Li Xiao didn't like to drink this kind of red stuff at all.

Ao Ye was even more direct, saying that this thing was a pot of water.

Li Xiao scoffed at Ao Ye's statement, as if he had drunk the water from the pot.

"When it comes to making money, you still have a way." What Lu Zhu said was true, compared to Li Xiao's military talent, Lu Zhu felt that Li Xiao's ability to make money was even stronger.

The Liao army has grown from more than 100 people to the current army of one million.

Others only see the change in the number of people, but only the insiders know. This well-armed army of millions needs to devour how many silver coins every day.

If there is no good economic support, the country would have been overwhelmed by this money-eating army.

"I can't help it, I need money everywhere. A bridge should be built on the Yangtze River, and a highway should be opened to the Jiangnan water network. This required countless bridges, not to mention railroads.

This is only Jiangnan, and the Ming Dynasty wants to occupy the Western Regions for a long time. It was necessary to build railways and highways in the Western Regions to connect the scattered places.

There is also the Great Southwest, who wants the barbarians in the 100,000 mountains to be attached. We have to let them live a good life!

But it is the southwest where there are no three sunny days, and if you want to develop there, the manpower, material and financial resources invested are even more gold and silver.

I can't help it! If the Ming Dynasty wants to develop, it needs resources and as many silver coins as mountains. It's a little slow on our own, we can only grab it all over the world.

But now we don't know how to rob it, it's too barbaric and the cost is too high. Besides, what era is this, and robbery needs to be more civilized. ”

“……！” Green beads were speechless. Robbery and civilized robbery, this is simply sensational.

However, now the way Daming robbed seems to be really much more civilized. Perhaps another word would be more appropriate, plunder!

"A country needs a lot of things to develop, and since the Ming Dynasty doesn't have us, we can only search all over the world. People are born to be selfish, and small selfishness is for their own benefit.

The great selfishness is for the future of the country and the nation, and only when the fish in the pond of Daming are fattened, can we really have fish to eat. ”

"Oh!" Midori nodded.

Now those families who are closely following the Li family are in a hurry to make money one by one. Compared with those traditional wealthy families of the Ming Dynasty, those wealthy families who closely follow the Li family will pay taxes honestly.

They do not take advantage of the country, nor do they take advantage of the common people, they take advantage of the whole world.

For example, the Sun family, the Zheng family, the Chen family, the Shi family, and their Li family all did this.

Li Xiao's words can be regarded as a high-sounding excuse for these people to make money frantically. Of course, the Li family is the most fierce among these people.

According to Tokugawa Chihime, there are now more than 10,000 people in the inner house of Li Xiao.

Oh my God! Lao Tzu came to this world with his bare ass, and he would never have thought that there were more than 10,000 minions in his house.

"By the way, Sir, we seem to have found traces of Dolgon." Getting the answer he wanted, Lu Zhu hurriedly changed the subject.

"Dolgon?" Li Xiao frowned.

The two brothers Dolgon and Zilharang have always been Li Xiao's heart problems, after all, these two bastards are the only remaining sins of the Aixin Jueluo family. Although Aixin Jueluo can no longer be as dominant as in history, Li Xiao still wants to crush these two guys to death like bedbugs.

"Yes! It's Dolgon, we are investigating the rapid development of the Russian military industry, and we found them. It is said that there are people in Moscow who have braids, they are not like Tatars, but more like Jurchens. Seeing Li Xiao's serious appearance, Lu Zhu hurriedly continued.

"Hmmm! The Russian military industry has indeed advanced by leaps and bounds in the past two years, and Dolgon ......! It's not like they're going to get everything that was successful in Mumbai's research to Russia.

Have you verified their affairs? Li Xiao suddenly became vigilant.

"Someone has been sent, and there has been no news for a while and a half."

"It is necessary to quickly verify and eradicate the roots once it is confirmed. No matter how much it costs! ”

"No!"

Lu Zhu's heart sank, this was the first time Li Xiao had given an order at all costs.

Moscow!

Dolgon, who was busy in the factory, did not know that Li Xiao had given the order to get rid of their brother. He was in the arsenal, following some scientists from the Russian Academy of Sciences, studying weapons stolen from France.

"These weapons can't be made with our current processing methods, maybe they can be copied in the laboratory, but they can't be mass-produced." Looking at the report in his hand, Dorgon shook his head helplessly.

Several years of life have allowed him to become fluent in Russian and Russian. Looking at the report in his hand, I was extremely depressed.

Things are copied, but if you want to produce them on a large scale, you need a lot of industrial workers. But Daming is more of a farmer, and it is too difficult to find a suitable industrial worker.

It's even more unrealistic to rely on British workers who have been poached at high prices, it's too damn expensive.

Take Zilharan to the Kremlin and meet Empress Catherine directly. This is a special treatment of Dolgon!

"Dolgon, is there anything you can't handle?" Catherine asked with a smile when she saw Dorgon coming in.

She had given Dolgon full power, and she didn't understand who else would dare to stand in the way of Dolgon.

"Hey! Your Majesty, we have copied all the weapons captured on the battlefields of France. This includes machine guns, mortars, and very powerful anti-aircraft guns.

But the trouble now is that there is a shortage of qualified industrial workers in Russia, and the number of machine tools is seriously insufficient. There is no problem in the research institute to drum it up, and it can provide large-scale ammunition and large-scale production, just ...... No way.

I......! ”

"Don't say, I don't want to know the reason, I just want to know how to fix it." Catherine reached out to stop Dolgon from continuing.

"At the moment, there are only two ways. One is to set up a school in Russia, so that those children whose noble families have some mathematical knowledge can study in England and France.

It's not about art, it's about engineering. Even, to learn the most basic lathes. The more Dorgon spoke, the quieter his voice became, and he could only look at Catherine helplessly.

Knowing Dorgon's helplessness, Catherine asked the children of the nobles to study dirty engineering. It's so hard!

Not to mention him Dorgon, even if Catherine herself gave these orders, it is estimated that no one would respond.

After being stunned for a while, Ekaterina raised her chin: "Go on." ”

"The second is to build schools in the country. However, at present, there are too few excellent technicians in Russia, and the most difficult thing to do if you want to build a school is the teachers. ”

Dorgon paused, glancing at Catherine. Seeing Catherine looking at him with blazing eyes, she hurriedly said: "The best way is to go to Daming to invite, but I think it is difficult to invite."

The Ming people attached great importance to the training of craftsmen, and their tradition did not like to travel far away.

So......! So we can only go to the UK and please. ”

"British ......!" Catherine sighed. Relations between Russia and Britain are not very good, and it is really difficult to do so many things now.

"Is there no other way?" Catherine looked at Dolgon helplessly.

"I've sent someone to Mumbai to buy some of the Indian mechanics of the past. But...... These Indian craftsmen are poorly crafted and most of them are extremely lazy. They are not the right people, they can only be temporary rescuers. ”

Dolgon can't help it, and the best mechanic in the world is of course in Daming. There are many technical schools there, and tens of thousands of technicians are trained every year.

But these mechanics only work in Daming, and even if you give too much money, it is difficult to hire them.

Besides, Daming is very strict with the supervision of talents. If you want to dig up talents, if you are caught, you will be killed directly.

Not only Russians, all foreigners come to Daming to buy things, but if you want to poach people, they will disappear inexplicably.

"There are also machine tools, high-precision machine tools, we don't have one in Russia. It's okay to process one, but if it can be processed on a large scale, the weapon may not be assembled because the tolerances are too large.

Now there are very few high-precision machine tools in the UK, and most of them are ...... It's all in Daming. ”

“……！” Faced with this problem, Ekaterina has no choice.

The vast majority of Russians have never even seen such a thing as a machine tool, let alone operate and manufacture it.

To be honest, Ekaterina herself has never seen what a high-precision machine tool looks like.

"If a country wants to have a strong manufacturing industry, it is actually a system project. What is most needed here is talent, and only qualified talents can build qualified machinery.

And the cultivation of talents is particularly difficult, such as lathe workers. The work is dirty and tiring, but there are many requirements. At least a certain amount of mathematical knowledge is enough, but what we lack in Russia is such talents. ”

What Dolgon did not dare to say was that there were actually many such talents in Russia, but most of them were children of the nobility. Let the children of the nobility learn to be a worker, which will definitely be rejected by the nobility.

Even Catherine did not dare to touch such a taboo.

After a long while, Ekaterina suddenly said: "It's not a problem, whether it's the cultivation of talents, or other problems. Actually, it's just one problem, and that's people.

As long as it's a human problem, there's a solution.

If you want money, we will give money. Dignitaries, we can arrange the best beauties in Russia. If you want status, I can give him a knighthood.

As long as everything is satisfied with them, it is not difficult to ask people to come to Moscow.

You start by looking for people from India, which is the best to do, and although their technology is rough, it is enough as an enlightenment teaching. Duke Peter will figure out a way to deal with British affairs, but Da Ming ......! ”

Catherine looked at Dolgon!

"We still have some remnants of our relationship in Daming, and I sent my brother Zilharang to take a trip. However, ......, it may cost a lot of money, a lot of money. ”

"Hahaha! Money is not a problem, as long as it can make Russia strong. I'm willing to pay any price! ”
