"Smoke!" Xiao Ming seems to realize something?

"Is it the American tobacco I brought back to you?"

"That's not it, in fact, you have brought back some tobacco when you conquered the South Seas last time, I experimented and found that I can plant, those tobacco leaves and seeds that you brought back from America, during this time I have cultivated and grafted, and the special tobacco harvested is better than those two!" Ding Jianpeng said. 【 High Quality Update 】

Master Li walked in with a tray at this time, and there were indeed white cigarette rolls rolled into the tray one by one, and the process of roasting cigarettes was relatively complicated, Ding Jianpeng seemed to have found some way! But if you want to produce flue-cured tobacco on a large scale, you must have a complete set of equipment, Xiao Ming doesn't know how Ding Jianpeng did it.

Ding Jianpeng picked up one of Master Li's hands and stroked it gently: "It's all a loss to Shishi, these cigarette rolls are made by her alone, it's really hard for her!" ”

Master Li chuckled tactfully: "I think it's quite interesting, but I don't know if it's to your liking!" ”

Ding Jianpeng picked up a cigarette roll, lit it with a match, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled the smoke, he was addicted to smoking, and he had already stopped smoking after coming to the Song Dynasty! Now this familiar feeling suddenly makes him feel extremely comfortable! Lying on the sofa suddenly looks extremely comfortable!

"Give me one too" Xiao Ming was a little moved, it actually didn't smoke, but he wanted to ask about the taste of tobacco, it was because his father smoked, although he could only smoke a five-yuan "lion"! It was a long-lost father's taste, and Xiao Ming missed it very much in his heart.

He followed Ding Jianpeng's example and lit one, took a deep breath, and felt that the taste of the flue-cured tobacco made by Ding Jianpeng seemed to be more mellow! But he was immediately choked and coughed violently! Master Li hurriedly brought him coffee, but Ding Jianpeng burst out laughing!

"Thank you, Brother Ding!" Xiao Ming said sincerely.

"It seems that you are still attached to the life of the afterlife, just like me!" Ding Jianpeng spit out a puff of smoke and said.

"I think it reminds me of some good memories! We still live in this era," Xiao Ming thought for a moment and said what was in his heart!

Ding Jianpeng threw his body into the sofa: "Maybe, I am very content with my life now, what you said may be right, but aren't you tired?" I think it's time for you to rest! ”

Xiao Ming said: "But my mission has not been completed!" ”

Ding Jianpeng smiled: "Hehe, forget it, do you still want to conquer Europe?" ”

Xiao Ming's eyes widened and said, "The latest battleship is in our hands, why not?" ”

"Did you know that it was the eve of the Second Crusade? The whole of Europe is like a filthy and foul-smelling sewer, the population of the whole of Western Europe combined is less than eight million, and the barbarians like the Vikings of Northern Europe and the Magyar riders from Hungary in Eastern Europe continue to invade every year! The plagues and viruses that have brought it have killed the inhabitants of the city year after year! ”

Xiao Ming said: "Know one thing, the Middle Ages was the darkest age in Europe!" ”

"It's just darkness!" Ding Jianpeng shook his head: "If you just use filth and cholera to describe it, it seems that it is heaven there, the actual situation is that it is even worse there, first talk about the common people, they are simply precarious, due to the warlord melee and factions, every nobleman will carry out a kind of plundering of the population, with the population can be able to fish others without being mermaids, and these are all things that need to be exchanged for war!" ”

In fact, the real situation is even worse than what Ding Jianpeng said! At that time, more than ninety percent of the people in Europe were engaged in farming, but there were still people who ate grass to survive, eighty percent of babies still died, and women still worked as cattle and horses in the fields. The whole world is seen as a "valley of tears" where all beings are imprisoned, and the punishments are prepared to torment the children and grandchildren of the sinner, Adam: hard labor, murder, thirst, want, pestilence, disease, drought, famine, and the death of loved ones. The prisoners had no choice but to dream of an afterlife, where people were hungry and often had to eat grass, and many died of ergot poisoning!

The aristocrats are living in a mess! Due to the low productivity of society, the general low standard of living, and the scarcity of sources of luxuries, even the most noble aristocratic women wore patches and exposed holes in their dresses! There are very few literate people, education and culture are mythical existences, and the stubbornness of sticking to tradition and unwilling to change is actually more maddening than those old masters in China!

A backward economy leads to secession and slavery, and breeds poverty and barbarism. The world's search for solace in religion hastened the rise of the Holy See, the Holy Roman Emperor, the King of France! The kings of England were a bunch of moths that sucked human blood, and if there was hell in this world, then medieval Europe was hell!

When Ding Jianpeng introduced these to Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming fell into contemplation, in history, it was not until the Mongols' westward expedition that the development of the whole of Europe was promoted, and it was also when China's four great inventions were introduced to Europe, and he had quietly subdued and softened the momentum of the Mongols' migration and fighting in this era! So will Europe continue to move forward?

It was in the twelfth century that the power of the Arab Empire continued to spread throughout the world, and would its own expulsion of the Turks to the west bring about a series of chain reactions? Xiao Ming doesn't know what will happen in the future, in short, he doesn't like to conquer the world in the name of religion, if the Muslims invade the east, he will not hesitate to fight back.

Xiao Ming seems to have found some kind of sense of mission again, if it weren't for this, he might be as tired as Ding Jianpeng said! Or is it time to rest, are you really tired? Xiao Ming asked himself, maybe he felt a little tired, in the soft sofa, when Xiao Ming recalled those things that were already far away, but he really felt a little tired!

But tired and tired, what should be done has not been done, just for the good wishes and vows in his heart, Xiao Ming felt that he really had no reason to find any excuse to be tired, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, looking at Ding Jianpeng sitting comfortably on the sofa smoking and drinking coffee, he felt that he was extremely envious.

The sound of footsteps came, and Master Li walked in, interrupting Xiao Ming's reverie, yes! Ding Jianpeng should be more comfortable, although he also has a mission, he basically completed his part, but Xiao Ming's own part was not completed, when will it be completed? He himself didn't know.

"I'm looking for Master Xiao!" Master Li handed over a flying kite letter, this kind of letter is usually rolled, Xiao Ming took it and looked at it and said to Ding Jianpeng: "It was sent to Nanjing by Hangzhou Shipyard and turned around!" Looks like you're going to have to invent the radio, haha, your leisurely days can be over! ”

Ding Jianpeng put out the cigarette and stood up and said: "The application prospect of the organ flying kite is very big, I am interested in this, as for the radio, it is not yet the time to invent it, otherwise it will rob a large number of people!" By the way, what is written in the letter? ”

"Invited to the launching ceremony of the latest steel ship, and want me to name it," Xiao Ming raised the letter in his hand.

"A big ship of steel?" Ding Jianpeng was quite puzzled, obviously he didn't know about this matter! Xiao Ming told him that it might be the all-steel warship that started construction two years ago, which was the first big ship made of steel in the history of the Great Song Dynasty and human history, which was of great significance.

Ding Jianpeng naturally didn't miss it, he shouted: "Go together, go together, go and see together!" ”

The two of them immediately got into a carriage and went to Hangzhou in the shipyard, as soon as they went out, Xiao Ming saw that there were some vehicles that did not need horses on the road, he was very strange, although he had not been in Hangzhou for a long time, but he had not seen such a strange thing, and he couldn't help but twist his head and keep looking.

Ding Jianpeng said with a smile: "Don't look at it, it's an automatic vehicle made by the Mo family, and there is a miniaturized boiler in it!" If you want to drive, you must preheat the boiler in advance, and use coal-fired water to drive, then look at the six small wheels, but the steering wheel that controls the direction is very exquisite! Many wealthy businessmen and big families in Hangzhou have reservations! They're probably heading to the docks too, right? ”

Xiao Mingqi said: "What is that?" Steam car? Or is it called a steam carriage? ”

Ding Jianpeng pouted and said, "It seems to be called a steam tractor!" Influenced by you,"

"Huh!" Xiao Ming smiled, he remembered that the tractor converted from the steam tank, that guy was still very effective in the farmland, and if he used a diesel locomotive that burned diesel, it might be more powerful.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and asked Ding Jianpeng: "Aren't you already able to refine light weight?" Although kerosene has a high ignition point and cannot be used as fuel oil, light oil should be fine, shouldn't it be an internal combustion engine? ”

Ding Jianpeng nodded and said: "You are right, of course, the sooner the use of energy, the better, this time it is a promoter of social development, but my internal combustion engine model is still troubled by materials, and I need alloy materials!" ”

Xiao Ming said: "Can't Brother Gu's refining workshop provide it?" ”

Ding Jianpeng shook his head and said: "It's under development, I've thought about what substitutes to use, but I really can't think of any way to fly and do it well other than gold!" ”

Xiao Ming said: "Then use gold!" It's not like we don't have nothing! ”

"The market price of gold is so high, and the policy and law of the Great Song Dynasty stipulate that you are not allowed to buy gold in large quantities, isn't it a rule you set?" Ding Jianpeng said: "Besides, my net worth, I really have to use money, I really don't have any money!" ”

Xiao Ming then remembered that there was such a rule, not allowing private trading of gold to reach more than ten taels, if you must buy it, you must report to the local government, this is also his way to deal with the gold crisis, who knows that this regulation has made Ding Jianpeng's development of the internal combustion engine come to a standstill!

"You can take me to the nearest Richang Longsheng Bank now, and I will transfer 100 kilograms to you now, is it enough!" In addition to gold as a wealth to promote economic development, it is also an important industrial raw material, I know this! Xiao Ming said immediately.

"Ahh 100 kilograms, you're a big deal! Ding Jianpeng said in surprise.

Xiao Ming said: "This is as it should be, to be honest, I don't think enough of the world's gold plunder, at this stage, Asia and America are already under my control, if Europe is like that, I plan to rob the gold of the Middle East!" ”

Ding Jianpeng shook his head and smiled: "You are excited when it comes to grabbing gold, I said you are a money fan, but the Middle East is still a little sensitive, for the time being, I don't recommend you where to move, but don't forget the Gold Coast in Africa!" West Africa accounts for one-third of the world's gold! ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Ming nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean."

The carriage drove directly to the headquarters of Hangzhou Richang Longsheng Bank, Xiao Ming got off the car and entered, Xiao Ming, the bank's big Xiangli naturally recognized Xiao Ming, panicked and his tea bowl fell to the ground, Xiao Ming didn't want to delay time, directly explained the intention, and pulled Ding Jianpeng over to let the bank's Xiangli know, but a kilogram of gold is not a small amount, this matter must be reported to the Richanglong headquarters to be allocated, Xiao Ming is not embarrassed by them, if there are not so many, the transfer of fifty kilograms can also be, Xiangli immediately hurry up to do it.

"Grandpa, how can this matter take two or three days, you won't be in such a hurry, right?" Xiangli said to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming thought about it, he was indeed a little anxious, he hummed: "Handle it quickly, don't delay!" After speaking, he pulled Ding Jianpeng out of the house and got in the car, and headed to the dock in Hangzhou to ......!
