Davis is gone.
Was driven away by Xie Tianyao.
When he left, he still looked unhappy.
He couldn't figure out why Long Yan still refused his so tempting tea trade! Of course he didn't know, because in his previous life, it was not the Netherlands that led the tea war, but Britain.
Liu Zheng was just taking precautions before they happened.
So speaking of it, the Netherlands is very aggrieved.
The Netherlands was a coachman on the sea, and its strength back then was obvious to all. But the Netherlands is okay. They put more energy, and even the focus of colonization, on trade, and their military capabilities are not strong.
But Britain is different.
Britain's colonial journey was full of blood and blood.
The word colonization comes up again here.
Now that Long Yan has developed, Liu Zheng feels that this issue must be raised.
Look at the history of past lives.
What are the differences between the Dutch and British colonial methods and backgrounds of the two East India Company?
Very simple.
The Dutch colonial advantages, already mentioned, were the sale of herrings, the modification of ships, and their reputation for trustworthiness. But the Dutch lacked imperial power, lacked land, even lacked cities, lacked natural resources, and lacked an industrial foundation. More importantly, the Dutch gave up the artillery on warships in order to allow merchant ships to carry more cargo.
When he was at his most powerful, neglecting naval construction was the basic cause of the Netherlands' failure.
They are too idealistic and can use trade to rule the world.
But under the historical background of the time, trade could not match military strength.
Therefore, no matter how rich the Netherlands is, this empire will eventually be short-lived.
What about Britain?
In the mid to late seventeenth century.
If Britain launches several wars against the Netherlands, the Netherlands can lose its maritime hegemony.
Britain's advantages lie in, first, the establishment of the capitalist system, which is an institutional advantage. Second, the handicraft industry has a high degree of development, which is an economic advantage. Third, focus on developing naval strength, which is a military advantage. Fourth, it is located in the Atlantic shipping center, which is a geographical advantage.
Due to various advantages, it is natural for the Netherlands to lose its hegemony.
This is what Liu Zheng is thinking about now.
The reason why he asked Ling Chen to establish the East India Company was to completely control the spice and poppy business in India, Central Asia. But he did not suggest that Ling Chen really lose the army, and he would even give Ling Chen a lot of support in terms of equipping the army. Because what he wants to follow is the British model.
The Dutch model is not suitable for long-term development.
Economic and military strength must match.
As for the system in Central Asia.
Of course Liu Zheng does not recommend starting to make drastic changes now.
He always believes that there is a trend in the development of history, and no one should try to encourage it. This is a bad phenomenon.
For example, if you forcefully promote socialism now...Liu Zheng is of course a firm supporter, no doubt.
But at this time, it definitely won’t work.
The background is not allowed.
Liu Zheng didn't know if Wang Mang was a time traveler, but what he did at the time was pretty much the same. In the end, the dynasty collapsed and he died tragically.
Although, maybe his life span in this life is not enough to support him to do many things, and it is not enough for him to see the prosperity of his motherland in his previous life. But Liu Zheng was still in no hurry, playing steadily and steadily, which was the rhythm he wanted. If you can't do it yourself, you still have your son; if your son can't do it, you still have your grandson.
Ancestors for generations.
The prosperous age he wants will definitely come.
Let’s talk about institutional issues again.
He felt that the special economic zone system in Liaodong this time was as good as it could be under the background of the Longyan feudal dynasty.
Give full play to the power of capital, give full play to the freedom of funds, and fully mobilize people's enthusiasm for investment.
This was difficult to achieve in the class society with fixed telephone lines in the past.
In the feudal dynasty, the status of merchants was very low.
Liu Zheng feels that this cannot promote social development, and may even easily lead to social regression.
The seeds of capitalism have begun to emerge in the West.
The power of capital will slowly show its edge.
Long Yan doesn’t have to choose.
But you can’t be on guard.
Liu Zheng wanted Long Yan's funds to be put into operation.
Just like the group of rich people who followed him, they experienced life and death together, they entered Liaodong together, they witnessed Qiao Yuan's fate together, and they also witnessed Liu Shilang's strength.
Their desire to invest is very strong.
Develop the Great Northern Wilderness.
Everyone, ambitious.
After Liu Zheng thought about these questions for a moment.
So he started having a headache again.
My mother’s child...
Um.
Whether it's a younger brother or a younger sister.
What gift should he prepare to send back?
To be honest, he is also very happy to have children as a result of his old age. At his current age, he won't worry about how much love will be taken away from him by the appearance of a second child. On the contrary, he is traveling around all year round. If the old couple can have a child to accompany them, it will save Liu Zheng a lot of worries and worries.
only……
Although when I think about it, it's actually a bit funny.
But it was also said.
The atmosphere in Long Yan also became cheerful because of this incident.
Xie Tianyao knows that Feng Sanniang is pregnant. Is this okay? Immediately canonize a first-class lady!
Good guy.
All of a sudden, people were shocked.
This lady is the highest-level lady in Long Yan. Not only that, Xie Tianyao also sent a palace doctor to Liangzhou to be responsible for Feng Sanniang's daily life, nutrition, and many other physical matters.
There are also rewards.
They are getting married soon, and it is really different.
Xie Tianyao waved his hand.
If Feng Sanniang adds another son to the Liu family, then she will be ennobled!
If it is a daughter, she will be the princess!
This time, many people don’t envy him because he is just bragging.
Why?
Liu Dahao, the king of Xiliang, was a king with a different surname.
In the Longyan Dynasty, why were there so few kings with different surnames? The reason is very simple. For a king with a different surname, even a king with a different surname at the level of King Wei, the throne cannot be hereditary. Liu Dahao is a king with two different surnames, and his rank is very different, so he cannot be hereditary.
Good guy.
This time Xie Tianyao came up and promised.
Either a knight or a princess.
This gives the Liu family a lot of face.
then.
This makes Liu Zheng even more difficult to deal with.
He scratched his head and ears.
"Son..."
At this moment, a soft voice suddenly sounded, and a gust of fragrant wind came.
Liu Zheng couldn't help being startled, and immediately asked in surprise: "Is the eldest princess okay?"
It turned out that the person who brought the tea was none other than Lee Hyuna, who had been injured a few days ago.
Seeing Liu Zheng's expression, Li Hyunya couldn't help but blush with embarrassment, and then smiled sweetly: "I'm sorry, sir, I'm thinking of you. The injury has healed. Sir, have tea..."
This, this, this...
Along the way, because of his nervousness, Liu Zheng didn't pay much attention to Li Hyuna.
But she was courteous to him in all kinds of ways, which even made Liu Zheng a little tired of it.
Later, he simply spoke more harshly and broke the heart of this North Korean beauty.
But she didn't expect that when she was in the most danger, she would use her body to block the stone...
Liu Zheng was still very grateful to her and said with a smile: "The weather is cold, eldest princess, please sit down for a while."
Li Hyuna felt Liu Zheng's completely different attitude towards her and the previous one. She was overjoyed and sat down shyly, but she looked a lot more embarrassed.
For a while.
The aroma is overwhelming and the atmosphere is awkward.
Liu Zheng didn't even know what to say.
Especially when I think about this Lee Hyun Ah and all the previous "uniform temptations"... Not to mention, this woman wants to have whatever she wants, she wants good looks, a good figure, a good background, and a good temperament. .
If you have to compare it to someone.
In fact, Xie Chan's figure is relatively thin.
But her charming appearance cannot be concealed.
But her figure pales in comparison to that of Lee Hyuna... This woman is really, hey, really a stunner.
Liu Zheng didn't know how long it had been since he had eaten meat. Looking at Li Hyuna's white and tender neck, he couldn't help but feel a little dry. He picked up the tea cup and drank it.
"puff……"
It was also the first time for Li Hyuna to get along with Liu Zheng like this. Seeing Liu Zheng like this, she actually felt a little cute.
She just looked at it like that.
Speak the truth.
At first, she was willing to marry Liu Zheng because of the Li family in Korea.
But along the way...
She was really gradually impressed by Liu Zheng's character. Young and promising, unparalleled in the world. He is talented and has strong military capabilities. All of a sudden, he was compared with all the peers that Li Hyuna knew.
and……
After such a long time, he can still sit still and calmly, and he is completely different from those dandy boys.
Lee Hyuna still knows her own charm.
At the beginning, Xie Tianyao almost couldn't block her charm.
did not expect……
then.
She began to become more and more interested in Minister Liu.
Then, there is the battle of wits and courage along the way.
Arriving at the tomb...
Achieve victory.
Perfectly annihilate the rebellious Liaodong Army and the invading Nanyang Army.
hero.
What is this kind of man if not a hero?
Li Hyuna started to become more and more obsessed with Liu Zheng's eyes.
seem……
Even being a concubine for him would be a very happy thing...
"cough……"
Liu Zheng coughed a few times and said with a wry smile: "Eldest Princess, tell me about the situation of your Li family in Korea..."
Li Hyuna's eyes lit up.
He is finally willing to help himself!
…
Lee's Korea.
It is not far from Liaodong.
Across the river.
It's just that the conditions on both sides of this river are different.
The Korean Peninsula has never been a wealthy place, and its natural resources are also scarce.
The Yalu River and the Tumen River became the dividing line between Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula.
Lee's Korea also used Confucianism to govern the country.
In any dynasty in Korea, the Longyan Dynasty adopts the principle of taking things seriously. It is a Confucian diplomatic concept based on the strategy of small countries serving big countries to preserve themselves under the balance of strength. That is, they have always paid tribute to the Longyan Dynasty and regarded it as the suzerain state.
The former Lee Dynasty of Korea had a good life under the protection of the Longyan Dynasty.
During the honeymoon period, Lee's North Korea achieved rapid development and achieved social stability.
But as the Longyan Dynasty began to decline.
Li Dynasty's civil war and party strife began to cause chaos in Li Dynasty. Xunjiu Sect, Shilin Sect, Dongren Party, Dayin Sect, Xiaoyin Sect, Beiren Sect, Gubei, Roubei, Zhongbei...
Liu Zheng felt very headache after hearing this.
Compared with the nobles of the Longyan Dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrats, and the new nobles who are now gaining momentum, are much more complicated.
It was these complex parties that plunged the Li Dynasty into chaos and endless struggle for a long time.
It also greatly affected the Li Dynasty's national strength.
After the Imjin Japanese Rebellion, the Li Dynasty was also completely defenseless by the Japanese.
After asking Long Yan for help many times to no avail, the current Li Dynasty is almost in mourning.
Under this historical background, Li Hyuna planned to exchange her beauty for the help of Long Yan's army.
"Fight the Japanese country..."
Liu Zheng smiled slightly when he heard this.
Lee Hyuna nodded.
"I am willing to."
