British/National London/Dun, Platinum/Han Palace.
Who is the one who came to see you? It is an important link in the layout of Yangshan Reed-the King of Scotland.
It turned out that the person who had been sent to contact the King of Scotland had returned, and because of the importance of the matter, even the King of Scotland could not sit still. He personally came to talk with Yang Shanlu (because the King of Scotland received the improved birdblade Later, I have realized the importance of these weapons).
And Yang Shanlu was very happy after learning about it: "Then invite him in—"
After all, I want to completely clean up the British/Chinese dung stick, kill him, paralyze him, and crippled him! It still needs the cooperation of the King of Scotland, and now...
So soon, Yang Shanlu met the King of Scotland in the Baijin/Han Palace that had not yet left.
The King of Scotland was a white man in his 40s. He wore a pure gold crown on his head and a royal costume. His blue eyes sparkled with brilliance. At first glance, he looked like an unwilling figure.
Then after the two sides met, the King of Scotland still performed a very solemn courtesy-Yang Shanlu's demonstrated strength has convinced him, and now the two can meet in the Platinum/Han Palace, which in itself represents extraordinary significance.
So after the meeting, the King of Scotland said very happily: "Your Excellency, thank you very much for what you did in England!"
As for Yang Shanlu, he only smiled after hearing this: "This is just called the death of many acts of injustice. I just did what I was supposed to do. By the way, the strength of Charles I was greatly damaged. You don’t have to merge again, right?"
"Ah! Your Excellency, you even know this!" The King of Scotland was still surprised after hearing this. After all, this matter was only known to the high-level officials of the two countries, and the ordinary people did not know.
However, judging from what Yang Shanlu did, it was obvious that he was on his side. Therefore, the King of Scotland no longer hid his opinion. He smiled and said, "Of course, who is willing to ask that Stupid Charlie swore allegiance!"
In the original history, the momentum of the rise of Britain/country has been unstoppable. The King of Scotland was forced to merge into the British Empire because of helplessness. Of course, in that case, he, the King of Scotland, would no longer exist. But now...
In addition, the King of Scotland came here for a purpose, so he then made another request... That is, the improved birdblade Yang Shanlu gave him last time is very useful. Can you give some more, too? So as to strengthen some of Scotland's confidence to continue to be independent.
Yang Shanlu had no objection to this either, these were just the equipment that the Xuanjia Army had eliminated, and it didn't hurt to give them some. Of course, it was impossible to give them away like before.
After some negotiations, Yang Shanlu sold them another 1,000 shots of modified bird blows for one hundred taels of silver a shot. The price also included 100,000 powerful medicines.
In this way, both parties can be satisfied. Yang Shanlu cleaned up a batch of old stocks, and the King of Scotland was even more happy. With this batch of sharp weapons, even if the Charles I can survive in the future I'm so angry, I can't do anything with them in Scotland.
After doing this, the two sides said some unnutritious things to each other, and the King of Scotland left happily.
After the King of Scotland left, Yang Shanlu was also very happy... This time I came to England and it was very smooth! And with such a three-pronged approach, it is no longer possible for the later British Empire to want to become the next-generation empire of the sun never set, the world hegemon.
For example, economically, they need to pay a huge amount of compensation, which is enough to make their economy doomed! In terms of technology, Yang Shanlu robbed several of their top scientists (the same went well, except for one or two who were unwilling to leave, the others were willing to follow Yang Shanlu), and from technology. Up their hind legs.
Including the overall aspect, the British Isles, which were originally to be merged together, will continue to split indefinitely after his intervention! And this kind of division will undoubtedly weaken the power of this European dung stick (it will fight in itself), so with these methods, I believe that the future empire will only remain in his memory. bingo.
After doing this, Yang Shanlu began to lead his troops to leave London, but then he did not go directly to the North American continent, but came to the junction of England and Belgium, and then found a piece on the Belgian border. The vacant land, began to hold trade fairs.
That's right, it's the trade fair-Oriental Commodities Fair! Because Yang Shanlu’s strategic plan this time is very clear... One-handed military invasion, one-handed economic invasion!
So now that you have shown your muscles, and after you have cleaned up England, the European power, you can start the economic invasion! Therefore, the scale of his trade fair is very large. After finding a vacant land, and then spreading it with cotton cloth, the whole trade fair stretches for several miles.
And even if Yang Shanlu borrowed the site to open a trade fair like this, the Belgian side would not dare to hum, such a horrible army, docile England, and his national strength is not as good as that of England. So do you dare to speak
So after the opening of this fair, it went very smoothly, including those generals sent by Yang Shanlu before, and the news has been sent to the great nobles and merchants in various castles.
So soon, big merchants from all directions came here... Although there have been rumors, this army from the east is very terrible, killing people without blinking! Even women and children won't let it go! But can this stop these profit-seeking businessmen? After all, the goods from the East must be very good.
"Come here! Take a look! Take a look! Porcelain from the East, white like snow! Blue like the sky! Such a good porcelain, but the price is very cheap. !" After many buyers were attracted, some marketing talents brought by Yang Shanlu began to shout.
"What? Only five taels of silver for such a beautiful blue and white porcelain? Give me a hundred!" When these blonde European turtles saw them, they all exclaimed! And immediately joined the panic buying army!
Although the porcelain of five taels of silver has been sold at a sky-high price for Yang Shanlu, these are just ordinary porcelains such as bowls and saucers. In Ming Dynasty, they cost less than a dollar, but they waited until they traveled abroad. After the sea, after coming to Europe, the price can skyrocket by a full 50 times!
Even so, these nobles and big businessmen still shouted for the cheap, one by one rushed to buy! Because if it were in the past, the blue and white porcelain that came by sea would cost at least 10 silver each!
(Ordinary fleet transported over, because of the slow ship speed, long transport cycle, and pirates and other harassment, so the cost is very high, but the Greater China Fleet led by Yang Shanlu does not have this problem).
Of course, since this is an exhibition, Yang Shanlu will not only sell these traditional goods of Ming Dynasty. For example, he brought some traditional special products of Ming Dynasty this time, such as his unique products-woolen sweaters and perfumes. , Feitianfen or something, has aroused the enthusiastic pursuit of European turtles!
"Oh my God, I just know now that there are such beautiful clothes in this world! And they are still so warm and smelly! Compared with such clothes, we can throw away the clothes we used to wear! "A great nobleman who loved all kinds of woolen products very much sighed like this after seeing it!
And it's already October (the Little Ice Age also had an impact on Europe), so after putting it on, the nobleman would never take it off again!
Of course, the reason for this is also very obvious. For example, as far as Europe is concerned, the woolen products in England are the most commendable, but compared with these woolen sweaters brought by Yang Shanlu, both in terms of texture and In terms of comfort, they are completely defeated!
Not to mention these woolen products in England, because advanced machinery such as Jenny machines have not yet been invented, and their cost is more than twice that of these woolen sweaters! (The spinning capacity of the Jenny machine is 8 times higher than that of the old spinning wheel, but it will not be born in the UK until a hundred years later, but in Golden Egg Island, this is already standard equipment in major workshops)
Therefore, this kind of high quality and low price is definitely not comparable to England's crude wool textiles.
Even after the debut, it immediately caused a sales frenzy... The 300,000 woolen sweaters Yang Shanlu brought were sold out in one day! Even many big businessmen who came after hearing the news placed huge orders from him after they didn't buy them! (The entire European continent, there are 30 or 40 countries, hundreds of millions of turtles, so there is no worry about sales)
And for the purpose of economic invasion, Yang Shanlu didn't think about relying on sweaters to make huge profits, but couldn't stop the enthusiasm of these European turtles, and the sweaters were successfully sold at a high price of four taels of silver! More than two million in sales!
(The local sales price of woolen sweaters in Daming is one or two silver a piece, so it is six or seven times the profit, because it is a new thing with high technology, and now it is sold to these European turtles...)
So Yang Shanlu knows that after his sweaters sell well in the European continent (after this time the European route is successfully opened, future sales will become the norm).
Then a series of changes caused by this is that the wool spinning industry in Europe is estimated to be in a slump (the wool spinning products made are not bought, can the wool spinning industry still thrive?)
Recommended, really good, it is worth installing, after all, you can cache books and read them offline!
There will be no more sheep-cannibalism in the United Kingdom, including the first industrial revolution triggered by it. It is estimated to be dangerous. In other words, the place that is now more suitable for the birth of the industrial revolution is transferred to Daming, or A place like Golden Egg Island! So this transformation...
Even the new products brought by Yang Shanlu this time are many, and even the fertilizer field powder is a best-selling (in the original history, it was not until 1838 that the British/country squire used sulfuric acid to treat phosphate ore. Phosphate fertilizer, the world's first chemical fertilizer was born, and now the fertilizer field powder is close to 200 years ahead of him!)
Therefore, Yang Shanlu was very satisfied looking at such a hot sales scene and the rush of gold and silver flowed in... And in this way, he successfully achieved his goal of economic invasion!
Because the budding of European capitalism at this time has just been born, and it is still very weak! Then I got a head-on like this... (For the purpose of blocking European industry, the prices of these new products are all 50% lower than the highest price that can be sold! Of course, even so, there are still good profits, and there is a long flow. Well)
So in this way, the industrialization process of European turtles will be delayed for at least 50 years! It's even possible for a hundred years! Correspondingly, with the continuous inflow of gold and silver from Europe as support, the industrial sprouts of Daming and Golden Egg Island can grow more vigorously, so the benefits of this increase and decrease...
So after the five-day trade fair was over, the huge amount of goods Yang Shanlu brought was sold out (the reason why the Great China Fleet of this expedition only carried 30,000 Xuanjia Army, the upper limit was 100,000! The huge transportation capacity is all used for loading goods).
And now it seems that the results are gratifying... Even according to the statement of the money basket that accompanied the ship, this time alone, he earned Ming's total financial income for nearly half a year, and his income was nearly ten million taels of silver!
(Because Yang Shanlu brings too many good things, it is still divided into two categories: traditional export commodities and innovative commodities!
For example, the traditional category includes porcelain, tea, silk, etc.... Innovative categories include woolen sweaters, perfumes, feitian powder and other rookies, so the appearance of such new products, coupled with the unprecedented scale of transportation, is far away Exceeding the scale of Zheng He’s voyages to the West, it’s normal to make a profit in one pass)
Even such an astonishing total trade volume is rare in the entire history of mankind-have you heard of a transaction that earned tens of millions of taels of silver
But there is no need to worry about it... If you change to other weaker caravans, or even trade at the national level, maybe the front foot will be robbed in the middle of the night as soon as the front foot is finished trading! Or it was done by someone at sea! (There are still many Pirates of the Caribbean in this era).
However, for the Great China Fleet, there is absolutely no need to worry about it... There are 30,000 Xuanjia troops suppressed, and all evils are warded off! (Of course, after going back, the Xuanjia soldiers who went on this expedition made a fortune, it goes without saying.)
Then after the fair ended smoothly, the receiving scientists also arrived. It stands to reason that Yang Shanlu's affairs in the European continent are almost the same, right? No, then he will have a special interest in the Dutch (Hong Maofan) who is separated from the United Kingdom by a narrow strait. (End of this chapter)
