From Chief to Ball

They also agreed on some details, and these people will prepare by themselves.There are also many advantages to having a language barrier. Even if someone else is present for these confidential matters, they will not be able to understand what is being said.

There is not much time to rely on contradictions. The best time for this matter is within a year or two. Once you miss the Spaniard, your back will gradually harden. The next opportunity will really be more than ten years later up.

Except for these people who went to Spain, the remaining contact with Britain, France or Denmark and Sweden can only rely on another group of people who followed him to sea.

They need to understand each other, and they also need the news that a monster has been born to spread to European countries.

After a few times of wrangling, Chen Jian gradually began to recruit talents from all aspects who followed him to sea.

Those who should stay here, those who should learn shipbuilding here, those who should go elsewhere, those who should stay here to continue wrangling, those who should return to Fujian to organize the first batch of transoceanic trade ships, and those who should stay as observers to learn European tactics of……

All these, the fleet did not come from ignorance from the very beginning.

Although others were ignorant, Chen Jian knew, so he had already started to pay attention to the people who should be prepared a few years ago, and gathered them on board with the help of his reputation and various connections.

It takes about ten years to see the world with eyes open normally, and understand what to learn.But these ten years were saved by Chen Jian.

Chen Jian plans to leave the Netherlands in three months and continue south.

There are only two places where the next stop is really meaningful and requires effort.

In Cape Town, a group of people in the party and some pioneers on board will be left behind to build a small stronghold there as a support point for the future grand triangle strategy.

The real compatriots of the Ming Dynasty can completely settle down there, no matter how they cheat or trade people.

Since there were no more than a thousand or two thousand Dutch people there by the beginning of the eighteenth century, a brand new Boer people eventually developed.Then, as long as four or five thousand of the ethnic groups he wanted settled there before his death, at least there would be a basis for future problems.

Population, that's what matters.Whether it is independent or whether it becomes a new ethnic group is not the scope of consideration now.

The remaining one is Daming, which is the most critical point of this strategic triangle support. This point cannot be broken, and this kind of world means a lot less to Chen Jian.

Those who decided to follow him around the Cape of Good Hope to Daming, apart from the army, doctors and some agronomists, were left with only two astronomers and mathematicians.

As early as the establishment of the Nan'an glass workshop, Chen Jian had already begun to write a set of mathematics books based on the geometry and algebra of the logical system.

Starting from the most basic content, the simplified characters written by him are also used. Several years have passed, and the integration has basically been completed.

At the time of writing, the glass workshop had just been built, and Hu Lin had just become friends with him because of the business company and future dreams.

In a blink of an eye, time has passed.

This is a very important thing, and it is also what Chen Jian cares most about.

However, if you want to knock on the door of the upper class scholar-bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty, you still have to rely on new guns and astronomy.His mathematical foundation is good, but astronomy, which requires extremely high literacy, can tell the people of the Ming Dynasty as a magic stick, "In August Xinyoushuo, the 35th year of Wanli, a comet was seen in Dongjing, pointing to the southwest, and gradually heading to the northwest. Since Renwu In addition to "Fangli Xinde", predicting a solar eclipse or something is still not as good as the disciples of these two professional masters.

They specialize in technology, their level is not bad, and their level of mathematics is not bad. A good astronomer must be a good mathematician.

This is also the most precious stepping stone. I was worried about encountering illness on the road, and I deliberately prepared two people.

There was a big problem with the calendar of the Ming Dynasty. If it is not revised, it has reached the point where it cannot guide the farming season.Although the later resounding sentence "It is better to let Zhongxia not have a good calendar than to have Westerners in Zhongxia" is due to political struggles and maintenance of its own traditions, but on the whole it has to be admitted that it has fallen behind in astronomy at this time.

Relying on other things, don't even think about it, it's hard to gain a foothold.

As for those who stay in The Hague or continue to study in Europe, Chen Jian also has his own plans and arrangements.

Although relying on some shocking tricks and ingenuity to create enough mystery, Chen Jian knows exactly how much it is.

There is still a lot to learn.

Civilization needs to communicate, each takes what it needs in terms of technology, is good at summarizing and has scientific induction and deduction as a tool, and systematically absorbs the essence of it, which can make rapid progress.

Now that you know what you need to learn, you naturally don't need to be blind. Do it purposefully and in a planned way, which is much faster than a spontaneous and natural process.

Soon after, an exchange group of more than 60 people gathered together, waiting for Chen Jian to arrange their future whereabouts.

These people are mainly young craftsmen, architects and accountants, as well as several public students from the academy.

Holding a map of Europe, Chen Jian pointed to a place shaped like a boot and said, "Everyone, we will part ways in a few days. I will find a way to arrange for you to go here. You are all young people." , it counts as money for you to travel and play here for five years. But don’t spend all your time playing cards, gambling or looking for women. "

Everyone laughed loudly. There were a few young activists in the party, who would be the organizers of this apprenticeship.

"The money will definitely be given to you, but the money will be placed on a few people. Since you are craftsmen or painters, go there and find a way to do it, starting from the lowest apprentices. Some Things, if you don't become an apprentice, you can't learn at all."

"In the first two years, you should familiarize yourself with the language, customs, and culture there. After traveling, you will start your apprenticeship. The apprenticeship here is similar to ours. It is very bitter. But there is no way. If you don't become an apprentice, you can only roughly To understand some things, only when you start as an apprentice can you understand some skills most profoundly."

"Five years later, I will take you back. If you have the ability, it is not impossible to find women here. However, people here believe in some things. If you don't believe that you will go to hell, they believe them If they want to go to heaven, from the perspective of love, they may not be able to accept the loneliness between heaven and hell in the future."

"In addition to those who are going to be apprentices, another group of you also have your own tasks. Those who go to learn languages ​​must learn the language well, and those who go to learn painting and architecture must also learn what you want to learn."

These people were laughing and joking, and after seeing the prosperity of Amsterdam, they didn't take it too seriously.

Chen Jian can't be a magician, he can only say that it is more prosperous there, and there is always something you can learn.

In fact, there are really many things that can be learned, and there are many things that can be communicated.

At this time, Italy was regarded as the center of various disciplines in Europe. After removing the incompatible theology and philosophy of theological system, there were still many things that could open the eyes of these people.

Caravaggio, who was able to make oil paintings look like photographs, was about to take refuge in the Knights Hospitaller.

Since art is interlinked, the young painters or architects among these people must have a lot of emotion when they look at some things over there.

Even if you can't see Caravaggio, you can feast your eyes on some masterpieces.The essence of the most popular Baroque art at this time was also in Italy or Spain, which was difficult to reach, and some tramp novels that were popular at this time were also very popular there.

There are different opinions about art, but anatomy and architecture, which are closely related to art and painting, are worth visiting even from a purely scientific point of view.

In addition, Galileo is still a professor at the University of Padua, and he has not been persecuted for the time being, and he has not yet used the naked eye to look at the sun with a telescope and even lost his sight. Some Chen Jian plagiarized his creative experiments, and he always sent someone to pay his respects. At least tell Galileo to find a way to get an ink chip when looking at the sun.

As well as the superb accounting, banking, usury, bookkeeping and other things in Venice, it is worth going there to study for five or six years.

Whether you can go there is another matter, and whether you plan to go is another matter. If you can translate some professional books there, that would be the best.

Complementary, there are Kepler hiding in the Prague Observatory, and Francis Bacon who has become a jazz...

Chen Jian felt that there was no chance to visit these people this time, so he could only arrange for people to visit and study in the name of exchanges.

Chapter 38 Staffing

There are also quite a few people staying in the Netherlands. Chen Jian only temporarily reached an agreement with the Dutch Indian Company to berth at the port of the Dutch Indian Company and give the Dutch Indian Company the exclusive purchase of Republic handicrafts and Nanyang trade on the Pacific route. The company would not venture into the terms of the European spice trade.

We will continue to talk about the rest, but the person who will talk is no longer Chen Jian, because many of the remaining things cannot be achieved in a short period of time.

Many things can only be signed after the truce in West Holland.As for other things, it is simply possible to negotiate and negotiate after the chaos in Europe.But it is always necessary to publicize it in advance, otherwise no one will be able to accept something that pops up suddenly.

Purchased two houses in Amsterdam and The Hague to house trading companies and envoys who remained there, as well as centers of espionage and dissemination of some radical ideas.

Wei Yuan took a group of young interns and joined the Dutch Navy in a subtle capacity. Chen Jian booked a Dutch warship as a joint ship for these interns and Dutch sailors, and joined in his personal capacity. Dutch Navy, in order to participate in the upcoming battle of Gibraltar, gain experience.

Wei Yuan and others signed a statement: They volunteered to join the struggle of the people of the Netherlands for independence and freedom in their personal capacity, and had nothing to do with the sovereign will of the Republic.
