The market outside the window is full of people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Brandon denied himself: "This is unlikely, the people of the Republican Association are mainly active in England and France, how can they travel thousands of miles to the country of Chongqing?" And it's not in their interest, this group of crazy people wants to unify the world, and it is not their style to cultivate a strong opponent for themselves. “

"The Republicans? That secret society founded in England? One member said he had only heard of it, that the secret society was secretive and that it only accepted influential people from various countries as members.

Only people like Brandon will have access to them.

Brandon didn't seem shy about bringing it up, he said, "That's right, it's them, and now they are said to have a large number of scientists, businessmen and political elites on board, and they have invited me before, but I have refused, and their idea of controlling the world is ridiculous." “

The members looked at each other, and Brandon said it lightly, but the words made the members' hearts tremble.

Brandon also said casually, and he went on to look out the window at the bustling market, "Whatever makes this country of Chongqing move closer to Europe, it's not a good idea for Europe." “

After a pause, he turned his head and said to the thirteen members who were accompanying him this time; "This time, the permanent negotiation team is located in Qingzhou, and you may live here for a long time in the future, in addition to being responsible for trade disputes, you should also pay attention to the development of Qingzhou."

"Yes, Lord Count." The members said.

Brandon nodded, this time he was just the leader, and he would be back in the city of Geranja in two days.

However, before that, he had to take a closer look at this Qingzhou, so after eating in the restaurant, he and the members walked into the streets of Qingzhou to learn about the situation here.

In the imperial study, Xiao Ming came back from the council hall and corrected the folds here, when Li San suddenly appeared outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the Dutch mission is out of Qingzhou City and is heading to the workshop area, do you want to stop them?" Li San's expression was serious.

"No need." Xiao Ming didn't raise his head, things like steam engines had already spread in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and there was no need to hide it from the Dutch mission.

Conversely, by making these Europeans aware of their own strengths, they can avoid their strategic miscalculations.

War is always a good idea, and there is no need to use guns and guns to get things that can be obtained by showing strength.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li San scratched his head, hesitated for a moment and said; "Your Majesty, we have been keeping an eye on Cao Zhengyang during this time, and found that he often goes to Dengzhou, and often meets with three businessmen from the United Kingdom."

"British merchant?" Xiao Ming frowned, "Do you know what they're planning?" “

"I don't know, they are very cautious, and all the conversations are on British merchant ships, and our people are not approachable."

After a pause, Li San continued: "However, our people have been keeping an eye on these businessmen in Dengzhou, and found that they are very active in Dengzhou, and they have special contact with some big businessmen, and even have contacts with the big wealthy families in the past. ”

Li San's words made Xiao Ming vigilant, in history, Britain did not always use force to conquer a country, and they also played a disgraceful role in some places that were not easy to be looked at.

According to historical records, in the early days of the French Revolution, the Englishman Arthur . Jan was present at the National Assembly at the beginning of the French Revolution.

It can be said that the occurrence of the French Revolution was not unrelated to Britain.

In modern terms, the British are always using their soft power to build a world that conforms to British values in the process of conquering the world with their hard power.

"Focus on these businessmen and missionaries from the West, and if they do anything harmful to the Great Chongqing State, immediately notify the local security station to arrest them." Xiao Ming commanded.

Li San nodded, "Then what should Cao Zhengyang do?" “

"Continue to let him stumble, as the so-called take it in advance, you must give it first, I want to see what waves this Cao family wants to turn over in the Great Yu Country." Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed.

Li San's body trembled, and he sensed a hint of danger from Xiao Ming's expression, this time the Cao family really sought their own death.

As the two spoke, Brandon had already arrived at the workshop with the mission, and when he saw the steam engine in the workshop area driving the metal machinery to turn, Brandon's eyes were about to fall.

The same is true for Rhodes, Qingzhou is a strange and familiar place, he used to come to Qingzhou City often, but rarely went out of the city.

I didn't expect to see this scene with Brandon this time.

"What is this?" Rod was taken aback, the steam engine drove the machine like a monster.

"It's a steam engine." The Dutch had now introduced the steam engine from England, so he also saw what the steam engine looked like.

Although the steam engine in Qingzhou is a little different, it is generally the same, and this thing also uses coal as a combustion.

"This is so surprising, what we are doing, this country of Chongqing is also doing." Brandon's gaze seemed to be drawn to the spinning loom.

When the group was stunned, a person walked out of the textile workshop, it was none other than Zhu Wuliu.

In the winter the whole village came to help build the workshop house, and after the year the steam engine workshop people took the steam engine and the loom machine to install a production line for them, and now they are in production of cotton cloth.

Seeing these blonde and blue-eyed people, Zhu Wuliu not only did not get nervous, but brought a hint of a smile, he thought that these people were here to do business.

After all, with the development of maritime trade, such Western merchants often appear in Qingzhou City, and he is not surprised.

"Are you here to buy cloth?" Zhu Wuliu asked with a little expectation.

Since the steam in the workshop was mobilized, and batches of cloth came down from the looms, he had produced a thousand pieces of cloth in just half a month.

Now some of the cloth has been bought by the merchants, and there are four hundred in the warehouse, and he is worried about how to sell them.

Seeing this, Rod took the initiative to say: "We are not here to buy cloth, but where did your steam engine come from?" “

Zhu Wuliu immediately became alert, and he showed a defensive look, "What are you doing here if you don't buy anything, are you meticulous and want to steal our craft." ”

After saying that, he suddenly roared, and suddenly a dozen or so people with cotton stains ran out of the workshop, these were all people from Zhujia Village.

"What's wrong with Five Six?" The group asked.

"They have been here for a long time, they must be meticulous, arrest them all and send them to the government."

As soon as they heard that Brandon and his party were meticulous, the young people of Zhujia Village screamed and pounced, and they didn't care whether these people were Westerners or not.
