Chapter 988 There are such good things coming to the door!
"Dude, the Netherlands should not be underestimated!"
After George left, Jia Qiang summoned the heads of the Thirteen and Fourteen families to inquire about the Netherlands. Ye Xing, the head of the Ye family, took the lead in speaking.
Jia Qiang did not talk about possible war first, but his tone showed a gesture of fighting without hesitation. Ye Xing could not wait for Wu Yuan, and Pan Ze said first, because of the important interest relationship.
Jia Qiang did not blame him and asked, "Let's talk."
Ye Xing bowed and said, "My grandfather, there is such a folk song in the Netherlands that is widely circulated. It says: We collect honey in various countries, Nordic is our forest, along the Rhine are our vineyards, Germanic, Franchise, Ireland is our sheep pen, Prussia and Poland are our barns. Even Japan only allows Netherlands ships to land on the shore to do business. If our merchants want to sell them to Japan, they have to pass through the Netherlands merchant ships. From the city of Yuezhou to other countries, 70% of the merchant ships were originally from the Netherlands, but even now, more than 40% from the Netherlands!"
Jia Qiang said lightly: "The Netherlands is less than 30% of the Guangdong Province, and its population is only 2 million. If the Netherlands is rich, it is not necessarily strong. As far as I know, the Netherlands, England and Heisi Fransya have fought several wars. Although the Netherlands defeated England three times at sea, they also paid a heavy price. The land war was directly defeated by Heisi Fransya to the capital, almost destroying the country.
Of course, the Netherlands is still a wealthy country in the world, and business at sea is still very prosperous, but what is the use? Rich and strong are always different things! Furthermore, even if he is rich and strong, he is definitely not a reason to abuse and massacre my people in Dayan!”
None of the four of them expected that Jia Qiang knew about the Western Barbarians.
After a little silence, Pan Ze slowly said: "Dude, the incident of the Western barbarians injuring our Dayan expatriates is by no means the first. As early as the 23rd year of Jingchu, even earlier, Nanyang expatriates came to Guangdong Province and cried to the governor and the people outside were harshly massacred. However, the Governor and Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi thought that the killed expatriates were "self-deprecating the king's transformation", "being born in that place, it is no different from the foreign people", and it is "the Han species in that place, and it is sanctified from outside". Therefore, the expatriates were massacred, "the matter can be hurt, but in fact the evil will be done by themselves". The "holy dynasty" does not need to be blamed..."
Jia Qiang said angrily: "I know that even in the court there are many such forget-for-eight people. Their eyes are like women in the inner house. They only care about calculating their private interests, but do not know the great power of blood!
If the court could have treated it severely, how dare those pigs and dogs slaughter the Han people at will?
Even though they were born in that place, isn’t the bloodline of the Han family?
The court has been like this for a long time. After thousands of years, anyone who goes out to sea will never have the heart to think about the motherland!
Why do you take pride in the descendants of Yan and Huang?
What is the use of this master if he is born to me in the world?"
Most of the Han people fled out of war in troubled times and took root outside.
Most of his heart still thinks about his hometown.
Furthermore, protecting the people outside is also one of the best means to gather national centripetal force and promote people's sense of national honor.
"Wolf Warrior 2", born in the previous life of Yemen's return to China, has strengthened the patriotism of many people who originally had a vague understanding!
Of course, the shepherd dogs are excluded.
But for the moment, Dayan is the well-deserved great China and the country of the Celestial Empire!
Before the Industrial Revolution, there was no substantial distance.
At this time, Jia Qiang also had the capital to become tough!
When he said this, Pan Ze and Ye Xing didn't dare to speak, but their faces were not very good-looking.
Once war with the Netherlands begins, don’t do foreign business in the short term.
People will intercept Dayan's goods at sea.
Once defeated...
The war may even burn directly to Yuezhou City!
The Thirteen ranks make a living by relying on foreign trade. This resolution is equivalent to digging the roots of the Thirteen ranks!
But what are their solutions now?
Before yesterday, they had to know that such a thing would happen, and they would still stand on the side of the governor, governor and Gao Maocheng. Even if they didn't stand by, they would find ways to maintain a balance between the two sides so that they could stand firm in the middle and balance left and right.
But yesterday, people eliminated their local forces in one fell swoop, and now they have almost completely covered the sky in Yuezhou City, and they don’t even have any mistakes.
Lu Qi's eyes turned, and he stood up and said loudly: "Duke, my Lu family will do their best to help the Duke show his power overseas!!"
Jia Qiang cut off his way to grab business with price wars and several other companies. It can be expected that the Lu family's business will definitely be hit and suffer heavy losses in the future.
It would be better to turn over the table, everyone stopped doing it and start over!
At that time, who will be the boss of Thirteen Lines may be the one who will be the boss!
Jia Qiang saw through Lu Qi's thoughts at a glance and smiled and said, "Yang Wei said it well overseas! Our purpose is not to start a war. War is not a joke. Once the war starts, although I am confident that I will win, there is a principle of winning. However, it is best not to fight, and harmony is the king. But the premise is that the Netherlands will never be allowed to abuse and massacre the Han people again!"
After hearing this, Wu Yuan and Pan Ze looked at each other, Wu Yuan slowly said, "Dude, if this is the purpose, it is not necessary to be at the city."
Jia Qiang asked, "How can you let him be virtuous if you don't show your power?"
Wu Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, as the Duke of the Kingdom said, the Netherlands has begun to decline since its peak. At least England and Geely are constantly competing for maritime hegemony with the Netherlands. So you don't have to worry too much. Even if a war really happens, as long as you win a battle, they will still come back and continue to do business with Da Yan. Now that the Duke of the Kingdom also thinks that it is best not to fight, it is naturally better. The Duke of the Kingdom can conduct a warship drill at sea, and invite Western countries to watch it. Or not, as long as their merchant ships see it, the news will reach the Dutch's ears. At the right time, we just happened to say goodbye to Batavia and not to abuse the Han people."
After hearing this, Jia Qiang thought for a moment, nodded and said, "This is a great discussion."
He looked at Pan Ze again, Ye Xing, and said, "You guys, your vision is just a merchant after all. Where is the courage to interfere in foreign maritime divisions and interfere in important military affairs? He is extremely brave at home, and scare him to the outside world?"
Pan Ze's face turned pale when he heard this. He glanced at Lu Qi fiercely and said, "The Duke of the State has clearly understood that the villain has found some clues in the matter in the capital. Most of them were Lu Qi's behind the scenes!"
Jia Qiang laughed and said, "If you don't check it, I'm probably doing it. But those things may not be your voice. I still hope that you can broaden your horizons. Not to mention anything else, the Netherlands has gone from a strong point to a decline, and was beaten by England and Heysifrons, and if they defeat it, they will have to ced a lot of benefits. Why?
Because the Netherlands only knows how to do business and gain huge benefits through maritime commercial transportation, how can it be compared with a real powerful country?
You are very similar to the Netherlands. You just want to do business and buy, sell and make money, but these wealth are all over the place, and they are rewarded by others!
Not to mention those Western barbarians and foreign merchants, even Lu Qi used some small means to make you feel like you were stuck in your throat.
I tell you that if you want to make money with a straight back and forthrightness, you should not just be a comprador, but you should really go out!
Like England, build your own ships and use your own merchant ships to transport merchant freight in and out. At that time, are you still afraid that others will stop buying goods?
If you want to do this, it is absolutely impossible for Master Hai to be not strong.
If the country is not strong, you even want to be a small businessman who is rewarded and rewarded for wealth in a corner, and your dreams will sooner or later be broken!
Therefore, you can be respectful of war and hope to stay away from war, but don’t be afraid of war.”
Pan Ze and Ye Xing stood up to receive it when he heard this.
As for whether they listened to it, it depends on their own luck...
...
The four of them had just left, and before Jia Qiang could turn back to the inner house, he heard a message from someone:
Xu Zhen is here!
Those who came with him were actually the Countess Portuguese, the Countess of Haojing, and her daughter.
While Jia Qiang was passing the message, he asked Xu Zhen to come in, and asked Wu Ke, Vivian and Catherine to help Daiyu come in to entertain her later.
Soon, Xu Zhen and two blonde and blue-eyed Western women entered.
As soon as Jia Qiang saw Xu Zhen, he couldn't help laughing.
Those dark circles are so thin that they are so thin that they are always flying around when walking...
"Zhongluan, what's wrong with you?"
This greeting with an accent made the guards in the hall laugh.
Xu Zhen was very happy to see Jia Qiang being close as always and never being arrogant due to his identity change, but he still saluted and said sadly: "The Duke of the Kingdom is above. This time, I am about to bow for the Duke of the Kingdom, and it's only after death!"
Jia Qiang laughed and said, "Get up quickly! Zhongluan has made contributions to the country, so he should reward you! I would like to give you two kilograms of old ginseng and make up for it."
Xu Zhen sighed and stood up with some exaggeration, but after hearing the very beautiful and mature Western noble lady behind him scolded her, she coughed twice and introduced seriously: "Mr., this is Maria Sophie Elizabeth, the earl of the Earl of the Nouburg of Pafalz, Portugalia. This is her daughter, Polycsena Christina Johanna. One is called Elizabeth and the other is called Johanna."
After a pause, he added, saying, "Elizabeth is a martial artist and others. He is extremely smart and can understand our words. Johanna is simple and kind..."
I can understand what we say, but I definitely don’t know what Wu Zi means.
This generation took him in front of him, but his relatives did not recognize him.
Thinking of this, Jia Qiang gave up the idea of letting Daiyu meet them.
It's too much to deal with such a woman, and Daiyu won't like it.
After Jia Qiang gave up his seat, he asked, "What's the matter with me, bringing two ladies to see me?"
Xu Zhen laughed dryly and said, "Mrs. Elizabeth wants to marry the Duke..." Seeing Jia Qiang's eyebrows raise, he hurriedly said, "It's mainly because he wants to form an alliance."
Jia Qiang said: "It is a good thing to want to form an alliance, but there is no need to marry. I already have my own wife."
The Lady Elizabeth knew Chinese indeed and smiled, "Didn't you say that men can have three wives and four concubines? You now have two wives, so you can have one more. Johanna is the simplest, most beautiful and kindest girl in the world, and I will use what the Duke wants most as a dowry!"
Jia Qiang pulled the corners of his mouth when he heard this and asked curiously: "What does that lady want?"
Elizabeth said seriously: "I want the Duke to guarantee that my interests in the Hokkien are not infringed, including the persecution brought by Portugalia."
Jia Qiang's eyes lit up and he understood.
There are such good things to come to your door...
...
ps: The latest update is very good. The main reason is to complete the plot of the Southward dungeon as soon as possible and return to Beijing as soon as possible. Of course, I know that such a dungeon will not be pleasant, but this paragraph cannot be avoided, so I try to get more updated as much as possible and finish writing it earlier. I also hope that everyone will be a little tolerant. I am still a little happy about what I wrote myself, and I have also checked a lot of information and found it quite interesting.
Chapter completed!
