George looked at Qin Changfeng, who said nothing and followed Liu Zheng.
George nodded slightly. He knew that it would be very difficult to get Liu Zheng's nod.
After all, they have no attraction to Long Yan.
And if you cooperate with them, the negative impact will even outweigh the positive impact.
George followed and left together.
…
And at this time, New Jersey!
The troops led by General William have occupied this rear base area which is extremely important to the Continental Congress.
But it did not hurt the main force of the Continental Congress.
"Report to the general, the rebels have entered Prest City, and our operation failed..."
"Go down."
He looked out from the room where New Jersey Congressman Toll was originally located, and anger ignited in his heart.
If it weren't for the existence of the Long Yan Army, they would have fought back to Prest City and attacked the mainland rebel army!
But now they have no chance for the time being.
Under the protection of the Long Yan Army, even with only four thousand troops, they still did not dare to confront the Long Yan Army head-on.
The exploding ground and ultra-long-distance shooting bullets all make General William's scalp numb!
Before knowing the specific situation of Long Yanjun, fighting against it is not a good choice!
"We need more intelligence." General William said in a deep voice.
The subordinate understood and turned slightly to leave.
He already knew what to do.
General William squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Prest City, which was a British colonial area where tens of thousands of British people lived.
They were American immigrants, but not all American immigrants were members of the Continental Congress.
In fact, the Continental Congress has a very shallow foundation here, and not many people are here.
Most of the people are still believers in Britain.
Despite what General William did to drive prisoners of war and locals to the battlefield, many people who did not understand the facts still looked toward Britain blindly and foolishly.
For General William, this is enough!
It is easy for them to obtain information here because they have such a large public base.
"Long Yanjun, haha..." William smiled contemptuously, as if he was sure of victory!
At this time, it’s night in Yuncheng.
The party to welcome Liu Zheng has ended.
Everyone seemed to get what they wanted.
Liu Dahao complained to his son: "These Europeans are really barbaric. Our ancestors struggled for many years to get rid of the savage custom of wearing furs."
"Nowadays, they actually wear furs on their bodies, thinking it is a symbol of fashion..."
"Zheng'er, I signed an order with them for silk worth millions of gold. Do you think this is too little?"
"After all, if we make a round trip from here, the freight will be quite high."
"And something as precious as silk will basically be ruined if it encounters a storm."
"You can't sell silk that's stained with water!"
Liu Zheng told his father: "Dad, why not bring the silk and produce it directly in America? With the compression transportation technology that Long Yan has invented, one ship of silk is enough to weave three shiploads of silk."
"Nowadays, everything is industrialized. We don't need much labor. We just need to transport the matching knitting machines and the problem is solved."
"Of course the best-case scenario would be to plant mulberry trees here, but that would take more than a year."
Liu Zheng sat on the chair and looked back at the ceiling. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Everything is produced and sold locally, and there are no tariffs."
"But there are imported goods, which can still be sold at a high price."
Liu Dahao's eyes lit up. As we all know, imported goods are more expensive than local goods!
And it’s more than twice as expensive!
This method of converting exports into imports for domestic sales is really good!
Reduce the core cost issue, and other issues will not be as big a problem.
"Zheng'er, your method is really good!"
After saying this, Liu Dahao ran out in a hurry.
"Dad, why are you going at this time?"
From a long distance away, Liu Dahao's echoing voice came: "Look for Qing Yangshuo and ask him to go, let's do it now!"
Hearing this, Liu Zheng shook his head.
I have never seen my father so diligent before. Sure enough, something went wrong at home.
He asked his servant, "Who's next?"
"My lord, it's George, the Speaker of the Continental Congress."
Liu Zheng fell into silence. He originally did not want to deal with this matter, and even had the idea of destroying the Mainland Congress.
We cannot leave such a powerful enemy to Long Yan in the future!
But then I thought about it and realized I had fallen into a misunderstanding.
Even if there is no Continental Congress, is there no guarantee that there will no longer be a country that threatens Long Yan in the world?
In the long history of history, such things abound.
It's because his situation has become smaller. The current Long Yan is powerful enough, but no one knows what it will develop into in the future.
Among the countless dynasty changes, which one has not changed from prosperity to decline, and which one has not yet achieved glory.
Thinking of this, Liu Zheng decided to witness this legendary figure in his impression.
After all, in his memory of his previous life, this war had a very special significance.
He is not like the usual dynasty change, in the hands of a few powerful people, but represents the struggle of the bottom class that society is currently divided into!
Although those planters, factory merchants were called capitalists in later generations.
It is the existence of exploiters.
But before such a class was formed, in France's Estates-General, these capitalists were not aristocrats, but civilians!
Have the same status as serfs!
The status of these people in the colonies is even worse than that of the serfs in the mother country!
"Ask him to come in." Liu Zheng sighed and said.
"Yes." The servant went down, and soon he led a handsome and slightly fat man in.
The other party was wearing clothes invented by the King of Britain. This was the prototype of the modern suit. On George, the clothes had become like a suit.
The other party greeted Liu Zheng politely.
"Respected Chief Assistant Long Yan, beloved Lord Liu Zheng, I am very happy that you can meet me."
Liu Zheng said calmly: "Sit down."
With the owner's permission, George sat on the yew chair next to him.
"I heard Qing Yangshuo mention you."
“You want to have some support and he gives you that.”
"You should be satisfied, but why do you come to me now?"
George said seriously: "Sir, this battle has caused us heavy losses, and many of our people have been displaced."
"They were just immigrants who came to America to seek a life, but Britain's harsh taxes deprived us of our freedom."
"I don't know if those of us who came from Britain in our ancestors or today are British."
"If so, then this is the exploitation of one group of Britons by another group of Britons!"
