"Work harder! This way, this way!"
"Come on, work hard together, come on together! One, two, three, shout!"
"one two three!"
At this time, the Suez Canal project was still in full swing.
Ling Chen quietly watched the progress here.
The progress is very good.
With the continuous financial support from Liangzhou, it can be said that the entire East India Company does not have to worry about funding problems at all. For workers involved in the project, this is even simpler.
Indian continent.
There is simply too much cheap labor here.
In the past, these Indians didn't even have enough to eat in the Mughals... When they heard about the salary of five taels of silver a month, they signed up like crazy. And they all work extremely hard here. This made Ling Chen couldn't help but sigh, these Indians really killed themselves...
Why do you say that?
The land of India is not generally fertile.
Just the Mumbai area is a huge granary. If this place is built well, not only will the entire India not be short of food, but it may also become a food exporting country.
However……
Just because the Indian mainland has been in war, and the domestic racial strife is so serious, there is a large-scale famine, and people are fleeing everywhere.
This makes these people living at the bottom of India, if they get such an opportunity, they can't wait to get rid of their arms and use up all their strength to fuck you every day...
They are also a group of honest people...
Ling Chen sighed slightly.
It seems that in this world, any ethnic group or racial distinction is actually the most innocent when facing threats from nature and problems of hunger and fullness.
It's society.
The emergence of this group unit made the intrigues and intrigues become more intense.
Only then will there be various differences and differences under the influence of various religious beliefs.
In fact, the same is true for the Islamic religion mentioned by Young Master. Human nature is a matter of slow changes, long-term edification, and different responses to environmental changes, which lead to racial differences.
Ling Chen knew how important the Suez Canal was to the young master.
Otherwise, when he heard that Tsarist Russia was invading Longyan, he would have been so itchy that he sharpened his sword and led a large army to fight back to Longyan.
"Hey, Master Ling, how is today's progress?"
"Sir Ling, you have exceeded your task today! Can you give me some face and have a drink with us?"
While Ling Chen was thinking about these things, a group of Indian governors on the side gathered around him, licking their faces.
"Today's progress is really good. Look at it, the Suez Canal will be officially opened in a month at most!"
Ling Chen nodded with satisfaction.
A group of governors continued to rejoice and looked at Ling Chen cautiously.
They are now making a fortune following Ling Chen... All of these laborers were obtained at a low price.
Ling Chen knew what they meant and smiled coldly: "I don't care how much you exploit, you must let the workers get real benefits! Do you understand? If you let me know that your exploitation exceeds the company's regulations, it will never be taken lightly." Spare you!"
This sentence frightened the governors into nodding their heads and breaking out in cold sweat.
The East India Company had various regulations on business, which were customized by Liu Zheng based on the later "Commercial Law". For example, there were strict regulations on anti-monopoly, protection of intellectual property rights, profit margins of employers, and profit control. Liu Zheng didn't want to be too cannibalistic. Of course, he would also let these governors make money.
A truly international company should enter a healthy development process.
This is Liu Zheng’s definition of East India.
"Where is the armed group I want? How is the training going?"
Ling Chen chatted with them for a while and suddenly asked.
In one month, the Suez Canal will be officially opened. Although there is still a lot of work to be done in the future and needs to be improved, at least the channel of the Suez Canal is ready for ships to enter! This was a big deal. How could Ling Chen not know that all the European powers were staring at them at this time!
I heard about the French fleet and I was already a little impatient!
in addition……
Britain is also ready to move.
Poland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, these European powers are also eyeing...
Ling Chen couldn't guarantee what would happen here when the Suez Canal was actually opened.
But he still sent a circular letter to these countries in the name of the East India Company.
But obviously.
Europe was not so welcoming to the arrival of the Longyan people.
Except for some small countries, those big countries that had the experience of being hegemons simply ignored his circular letters.
Ling Chen seemed to have smelled a hint of gunpowder, the inevitable smell of gunpowder that was being prepared.
When the governors heard this, they all took credit.
This trained five thousand...
That training cost ten thousand!
That twenty thousand!
Anyway, in mainland India, the most indispensable thing is people, cheap labor!
Only then did Ling Chen smile with satisfaction.
With so many soldiers and horses, plus his own fleet, he was looking forward to whether he could bring some deterrence to these European powers.
Young Master is right...
Europe is a wonderful world.
…
Britain.
London.
Buckingham Palace.
Palace of Westminster.
This famous Gothic Revival building is now once again noisy.
William IV listened to the quarrels of these people with a headache.
"We have to take Australia back!"
"Send Loggins to court-martial!"
"We must find a way to get back our investment in Australia!"
"Your Majesty... Absolutely not! France's military deployment has been somewhat frequent recently. We must consider the security of the Mediterranean..."
"Speaking of the Mediterranean, go and see the East India Company's Suez! How should we deal with it!"
Today’s topic is no longer two factions, but several factions.
Everyone has his own point of view, different viewpoints, different positions, different expressions, and different opinions.
William IV, his head was about to explode.
"Be quiet!"
"Everyone, be quiet!"
This is the shortcoming of constitutional monarchy.
That is, when opinions are not unified, the action and execution of the entire state machine will fall into a state of stagnation. As long as there is a parliament, there are factions. As long as there are factions, there are political parties. As long as there are political parties, there are people. There will be differences in the number of people, and various contradictions will naturally arise.
For example, it has been more than a month since Australia lost it...
They haven't even discussed this matter yet and come up with a reason.
certainly.
In any case, constitutional monarchy is already the most advanced system in the world.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
"His Majesty……"
A group of people, again aggressive, looked at William IV.
