Iron Dynasty

Outside the window, merchant ships on the Lin'an Wharf come and go.

Cao Kun's expression showed a hint of cunning. He seemed to ask unintentionally: The Dutch parliament is really generous. I don't know what Queen Victoria would be willing to pay in exchange.

Munster always kept a polite smile, he said: If you can dedicate the manufacturing technology of the steam locomotives, steam ships, muskets, and artillery of the Great Yu Kingdom to the association, at least I can guarantee that you will also have an earl in England. position.

Cao Kun shook his head helplessly. Obviously, Munster knew enough about the technological development of Qingzhou. After all, whether it was a steam locomotive or a steam ship, these things were on the bright side.

But the real difficulty is understanding how Qingzhou achieves these things.

It's very difficult. Cao Kun said in a deep voice, The confidentiality of these technologies has always been very strict. The only thing we can count on is that our students who have been placed in Qingzhou University will be able to bring these technologies back, but it will take time.

Munster nodded lightly, I just hope that this time will not be too long, you understand that the patience of association is limited, and you have to remember that without our help, your Cao family would not have what it is today. Brilliant, since you have joined the association, you will always be a member of the association, for our common goal.

Yes, Mr. Munster, I will do my best to serve the association. God bless us. Cao Kun's expression suddenly became a little frantic. .

Munster responded with the same gesture.

After a brief exchange, Cao Kun left the room. At this time, Munster turned to look at the pier outside the window.

When the Dutch brought the single-cylinder reciprocating steam engine back to the country, the whole of Europe was shocked, especially Britain, which developed the steam engine.

It was at this time that he was dispatched by the Queen of England to the Great Yu Kingdom to collect intelligence as a businessman.

What Queen Victoria didn't know was that he was also a member of the association, so he immediately contacted Cao Kun, who was also a member of the association, after arriving in the Great Yu Kingdom.

This Da Yu country merchant engaged in maritime trade at a very young age, and was selected by the association at that time, so he quickly rose to become the first wealthy merchant in Da Yu country.

No, he could not have done this when the British ruled the sea, and at that time the association needed such people to gain a firm foothold in the Great Yu Kingdom.

Of course, in addition to Cao Kun, the members of the Great Yu Kingdom Association also had some noble families, but it was a pity that many of these people were killed in the process of the Great Yu Kingdom's emperor's cleansing of the country.

How many secrets does this Great Yu Country have? I hope the situation is not too bad. Manster was a little worried.

Europeans who attach great importance to science and technology are very clear that once the Da Yu country has mastered more advanced technology than Europe, then the history of their colonization will end.

They will even lose their colonies in the competition with the Great Yu Kingdom. Because of this, all European countries are now trying to understand the Great Yu Kingdom, and they get technology that surprises them from here.

At the same time, because they felt a sense of crisis, the European royal family once again increased their investment in technology, and they did not want to be left behind by the Great Yu Kingdom.

Turning around, Munster picked up a musket from the box beside the bed. This musket was the flintlock gun of the Great Yu Kingdom.

During the war between the Great Yu Kingdom and the Golden Horde, some of the weapons of the dead Great Yu Kingdom soldiers were picked up by the barbarian soldiers, and these weapons were circulated among the barbarians.

Because of chaos and starvation, merchants could easily obtain this kind of firearm from the hands of these barbarian soldiers. After seeing this forging method that was more advanced than European flintlock guns, Munster was excited and did not sleep all night.

Since then, he has stepped up his understanding of the science and technology of Da Yuguo, but the most important thing to him is the students who have mastered the scientific and technological knowledge of Dayuguo.

As long as you can get a talented student, this is extremely beneficial to both the association and the UK.

Aren't all European countries trying to steal technology from Britain in this way?

...

Qingzhou.

Huang Zizheng, who was sitting in the four-wheeled carriage, was still a little dazed. The group of them had just arrived at the Qingzhou Wharf from the ancient city of Haicheng.

When they got off the boat, he was a little shocked by the busy wharf. If the official in charge of the reception hadn't explained that it was a wharf, he would have always thought it was a market.

It's just that this kind of shock has just begun. The flat concrete road extending outside the wharf and the four-wheeled carriage with spring shock absorption.

The hot air balloons floating in the sky from time to time, the harvesters and seed drills pulled by horsepower in the fields, and the brightly dressed people of Dayu who come and go on official roads.

After entering the city, Huang Zixu and his son Jin Changming were even more dizzy, wishing they had four pairs of eyes to see all the scenes of Qingzhou City.

It's really a place of flowers. Huang Zixuan sighed deeply, and now he finally understands the gap between Goryeo and Dayu.

Compared with Qingzhou, Liujingcheng is only equivalent to the countryside.

Sitting opposite Huang Zizheng was an official from the Foreign Affairs Office of Dayu, and there was no need for a senior official to receive the embassy from Korea.

The Foreign Affairs Office just dispatched him as an interpreter, and arranged Huang Zixu and his party to an ordinary restaurant in Qingzhou.

According to the words of the Foreign Affairs Office, Weijia Restaurant will no longer receive foreign missions in the future.

If foreign missions want to enjoy the convenience and comfort of Weijia Restaurant, they can pay by themselves.

The carriage stopped in front of the Jinxiu Restaurant, and the interpreter led Huang Zixu and his party into the restaurant, and the people of the Goryeo Mission sighed along the way.

In their opinion, the reception of Da Yuguo to them is extremely grand, because this restaurant is more exquisite and gorgeous than any restaurant in Liujing City.

And when they entered the room, they couldn't close their mouths in surprise. The glass windows on all sides, the ceramic toiletries, and the faucet all made Huang Zixuan and Goryeo's prince feel wholeheartedly satisfied.

Thanks to the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom for his kindness, this must be the best restaurant in Qingzhou. Before Huang Zizheng could speak, Kim Changming, the prince of Goryeo, said with a smile on his face.

He originally thought that there was no difference between Qingzhou and Liujingcheng, but now everything is beyond his expectations.

The translator smiled helplessly. In fact, when the Wei family restaurant business was booming, all the restaurants in Qingzhou remodeled their own restaurants according to the appearance of the Wei family restaurant.

Because today's businessmen have been raised by the Wei family restaurant, they are unwilling to come and live without a series of facilities. The only difference is that the quality of the ceramic products in the room is different.

Secretly thinking in my heart that I can't find a better restaurant to entertain you, the translator smiled and said, I will convey your meaning to Your Majesty.
