Chapter 719: Continue to shock

The market outside the window was full of people.
Brandon denies himself again: "This is unlikely. The Republicans are mainly active in Britain and France. How could they travel all the way to Great Yu? And this is not in their interests, this group of lunatics But it is not their style to unify the world and cultivate a strong opponent for themselves."
"Republican? Is that secret association established in the UK?" said one member. He just heard about it. This secret association is very mysterious and only recruits influential people from various countries as members.
Only people like Brandon will have contact with them.
Brandon didn’t seem to be shy about bringing up this matter. He said:
Yes, it’s them. Now they are said to have a large number of scientists, businessmen and political elites. They have invited me before, but I refused. The idea of ​​controlling the world is ridiculous."
The members looked at each other, Brandon said relaxedly, but this made the members startled.
Brandon also said casually, and he then watched the lively market through the window, "No matter what makes this great country of Chongqing move closer to Europe, it is not a good idea for Europe."
After a pause, he turned his head and said to the thirteen entourage members; "This time the permanent negotiating team is located in Qingzhou. You may live here for a long time in the future. In addition to being responsible for trade disputes, you must also Pay attention to the development of Qingzhou."
"Yes, Lord Earl," the members said.
Brandon nodded, this time he was just the leader, and he was going to return to Geranj in two days.
But before that, he had to take a closer look at this Qingzhou, so after eating at the restaurant, he and the members walked into the streets of Qingzhou to learn about the situation here.
In the Imperial Study Room, Xiao Ming criticized the memorial here when he returned from the Yeezheng Hall, when Li San suddenly appeared outside the door.
"The emperor, the Dutch mission has left Qingzhou City and is heading to the workshop area. Do you want to stop them?" Li San looked serious.
"No need." Xiao Ming didn't raise his head. Steam engines and the like had already spread in the country of Da Yu, and there was no need to hide it from the Dutch mission.
On the contrary, letting these Europeans understand their own strength can also prevent their strategic misjudgments.
War is always the bottom line, and there is no need to use guns to get things that can be obtained by demonstrating strength.
"Yes, the emperor." Li San scratched his head and hesitated for a while and said; "the emperor, we have been staring at Cao Zhengyang during this period and found that he often goes to Dengzhou and often meets with three merchants from Britain."
"British businessman?" Xiao Ming frowned. "Do you know what they are planning?"
"I don't know, they are very cautious, and all the conversations are on British merchant ships, our people cannot approach."
After a pause, Li San continued: "However, our people have been staring at these merchants in Dengzhou and found that they are very active in Dengzhou, and they are exclusively in contact with some big merchants, and even have contacts with the former great families."
Li San's words made Xiao Ming wary. In history, Britain did not always use force to conquer a country. They also played a disgraceful role in places that were not easy to be looked at.
According to historical records, in the early days of the French Revolution, Arthur Young, an Englishman, visited the National Assembly in the early days of the French Revolution.
It can be said that the occurrence of the French Revolution has nothing to do with Britain.
In modern terms, the British are always using their hard power to conquer the world, and they are also using their soft power to build a world that conforms to British values.
"Focus on these businessmen and missionaries from the West, and if they do something harmful to the country, they will immediately notify the local guards to arrest them." Xiao Ming ordered.
Li San nodded, "Then what should Cao Zhengyang do?"
"Continue to let him jump down. As the saying goes, if you take it in advance, you must give it first. I want to see what kind of waves this Cao family wants to make in Da Yu." Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed.
Li San's body trembled, he sensed a trace of danger from Xiao Ming's expression. This time the Cao family really wanted to die.
When the two were talking, Brandon had gone to the workshop area with the mission. When he saw the steam engine in the workshop area turning the metal-made machinery, Brandon's eyes would fall.
The same is true for Luode, Qingzhou is a strange and familiar place to him. He used to come to Qingzhou City frequently, but he rarely left the city.
Unexpectedly this time and Brandon saw this scene.
"What is this?" Rod said in surprise, the steam engine driving the machinery completely like a monster.
"This is a steam engine." The Dutch has now introduced a steam engine from England, so he has also seen what a steam engine looks like.
Although the steam engines in Qingzhou are somewhat different, they are generally the same, and this thing also uses coal as a combustion material.
"This is amazing. What we are doing is also doing in the great Yu country." Brandon's eyes seemed to be drawn to the spinning textile machine.
When the group was stunned, one person walked out of the textile workshop, not someone else, but Zhu Wuliu.
In winter, the entire village people came to help build the workshop house. After the next year, the people from the steam engine workshop took a steam engine and a spinning machine to install a production line for them. Now they have put into production cotton cloth.
Seeing these blonde and blue-eyed people, Zhu Wuliu not only didn't feel nervous, but put on a smile. He thought these people were here for business.
After all, with the unfolding 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 expectantly.
Since the steam in the workshop was motorized ~EbookFREE.me~ batches of cloth came off the weaving machine, only half a month he had produced a thousand pieces of cloth.
Now some of these cloths have been bought by the merchants, and there are still 400 pieces in the warehouse. He is worried about how to sell them.
Upon seeing this, Rod took the initiative and said: "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 things? Are you meticulous and want to learn our craft secretly."
After that, he suddenly roared, and suddenly ran out of the workshop about ten people covered with cotton, these were the people of Zhujia Village.
"What happened to May 6?" the group asked.
"They have been here for a long time. They must be careful and arrest them all and send them to the government office."
As soon as they heard that Brandon and his party were working carefully, the young people in Zhujia Village screamed and jumped on them, and they didn't care if these people were Westerners.
