I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

This is a set of film shooting and projection equipment.

If nothing else, they will be the first set of related equipment in Europe, and they will be of great value.

Of course, this is not the reason why Zhang Chenliang is so cautious.

Although the photographic equipment was expensive, the reason why Zhang Chenliang had to ensure that they were foolproof was that these equipment were entrusted by His Majesty Zhu Fugui and delivered to Ms. Julie Vanderbilt.

About Miss Julie, Zhang Chenliang doesn't know much, only that she once participated in "Miss San Diego" and played the lover of His Majesty Zhu Fugui.

But now it seems that their relationship may not be limited to the movie.

But what exactly happened, Zhang Chenliang didn't dare to ask, nor did he dare to think about it.

Four hours later, the cargo ship arrived in the port of Rome.

After accepting the blatant bribery from the officials of the Kingdom of Italy, Zhang Chenliang and his Tibetan Fox were allowed to berth at the pier for one day, but the Chinese on board were not allowed to disembark.

The port management officer with a beer belly counted the big Ming notes with a smile on his face.

All countries in the world are now on the gold and silver standard.

As long as you have enough anchors, you can issue the same amount of currency, or slightly overissued currency.

Therefore, Daming Banknotes are also very popular in Europe, at least much more popular than the US dollar, which has lost its credit.

Of course, as the price of silver gradually collapsed, Ming Dynasty was gradually transitioning from the silver standard to the gold standard.

However, Ming's gold reserves were at a disadvantage compared to the Europeans. After the plunder in the Age of Discovery, the major European royal families had accumulated a large amount of gold.

Moreover, gold is the best cross-age currency, and Zhu Fugui has a great demand for it, so the Ming mint department is now secretly counterfeiting some pounds.

With Daming's technology, it is completely possible to confuse the real with the fake.

This part of the money is not much, but it can continue to prostitute the gold reserves of the British.

Moreover, during the decisive battle in the future, Daming can also use this weakness to launch a financial offensive against the British like a tsunami.

Chapter 536 Julie and her best friend

He repeatedly checked the Daming Banknote in his hand against the sunlight, and the watermarks of the four beauties were clearly visible.

The potbellied administrator showed a satisfied smile.

This 100 yuan Daming note can be exchanged for 25 pounds, which is equivalent to half a year's salary.

What nonsense port management regulations were immediately thrown into the trash can by the management officer.

Anyway, these Asians don't get off the boat, so what does it matter if they let them stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Rome?

Having said that, these Chinese businessmen are really rich, if...

Taking a peek at the shadowy sailors with live ammunition everywhere in the cabin, and the concertina-style barbed wire installed on the side of the ship, he gave up his plan to gather a group of rookies in Rome at night to make a fortune.

learn from mistakes.

The sinking of the water monkey dealt a great blow to Xiaoliang, so this time, the Tibetan Fox was fully refitted.

Unless it is a regular navy, it is impossible for ordinary pirates to pose a threat to the Tibetan Fox.

And to invite the Italian Navy to rob together, obviously the cost exceeds the benefit.

Zhang Chenliang doesn't know Latin, but coincidentally, the old administrator happened to be a northern Italian who was born in Lombardy.

Lombardy was for a long time a vassal state of the Holy Roman Empire, and it is said that Lombardy itself was a branch of Germany.

At least the old man can speak broken German.

And Zhang Chenliang happens to be able to speak a little German.

Discovering that this Oriental could speak German, the old man beamed and talked about the just-concluded Franco-Prussian War.

"Did you know, Oriental, when His Majesty Wilhelm was crowned Emperor of Germany in the Palace of Mirrors, I drank 20 glasses of barley wine!"

"We beat those Frenchmen all over the place, and our German chariots crushed all those sissy barbed wire!"

"..."

Listening to the old man's bragging, Zhang Chenliang really wanted to shut him up with a nunchuck.

I really don't know why he is a guy who was born in Lombardy, joined the Kingdom of Sardinia halfway, and now he has become an Italian, eating and dying in Rome, cheering for the German Emperor.

Not to mention, the so-called Germanic chariot is just a fake product imitated from the Daming tractor, right?

William is said to be riding on a tractor to Versailles.

On the way, the soot from the tractor engine poured back and almost choked him to death.

The great German emperor almost died before he ascended the throne, and it was a disaster.

But the old man's excitement is also justified.

Taking advantage of the Franco-Prussian War and the French mobilizing overseas troops, the Kingdom of Italy broke through Rome, which was protected by France.

The last capital of the Papal State fell, and the Pope hid in the cathedral to chant scriptures without taking another step, and Italy was finally unified.

So far, the Kingdom of Sardinia, or the recently renamed Kingdom of Italy, has conquered 99.99% of the territory of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies and the Pope.

This marks the complete conquest of the half-Latin half-Germanic northern Italy and the complete conquest of the pure Latin south-central Italy.

Although the Kingdom of Sardinia itself relied on France for its origin, but now that the French chickens have broken their wings, Italy has long been on the boat, and has begun to be proud of its pitiful German blood.

……

The old man Aba Aba talked for a long time, seeing that this Chinese who didn't eat oil and salt really wouldn't touch another copper coin, so he had to leave angrily.

"Damn Chinaman, as stingy as Grandet!"

The old man was cursing, as if he had completely forgotten that the berthing fee charged before was several times higher than that of ordinary European merchant ships.

Zhang Chenliang shook his head, it seems that Lord Long Live is right.

These Germanic barbarians are indeed disobedient, and do not know what order is.

Although Daming's literary works have begun to become popular in some circles in Europe, relying on words is still too slow.

football, movies...

Only by relying on these stronger sensory stimuli can the cultural invasion of these Europeans be carried out more quickly.

Of course, these alone are not enough, a strong and wealthy Daming with abundant martial arts is the foundation.

The two complement each other, and the glory of Daming can spread to every corner of the world.

As a disciple of the Son of Heaven, Zhang Chenliang, an ordinary Ming citizen, raised his binoculars and paintbrush, and began to record the Port of Rome.

In this era, for many countries, the awareness of secrecy is not so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This is especially true in a "life-loving" country like Italy.

Zhang Chenliang moved the stool, set up the drawing board and surveying and mapping tools, and drew drawings while measuring. The ships of the Italian Navy were all parked not far away, and no one cared about them at all.

At most, people passing by showed contemptuous expressions.

Do Asians understand art too?

Can Tibetan foxes also paint?

The fox is crowned!

……

Taking advantage of the time when the sailors anchored, Zhang Chenliang quickly completed the simple survey and mapping of the Roman port.

He clipped the drawings in his "Haicuotu Notes" and prepared to hand them over to the relevant departments after returning home.

Except for a few battleships that look quite powerful, the entire port of Rome feels very decadent.

This may have something to do with the recent war between the Kingdom of Italy and the Pope, but it seems that there is more than just this reason.

Just watching from a distance, Zhang Chenliang felt an indescribable sense of dilapidation rushing towards his face.

Rome, an ancient city that illuminates the east and west of the world just like Chang'an, seems to be somewhat fading now.

But one thing to say, after seeing the high-rise buildings in Fengdu, looking at the small and simple city of Rome, Zhang Chenliang really wanted to go sightseeing.

Original, but also aesthetically pleasing.

It's just that such thoughts disappeared with a gust of wind mixed with the smell of mules and horses.

At this time, because they were not allowed to disembark, the crew all took out poker mahjong and prepared to gamble two hands on the splint.

The long day-long voyage is very torturous, and it is almost unavoidable for ocean-going sailors to have fun and gamble. Even if Zhang Chenliang is a good law-abiding citizen, he will not restrain these young men who have nowhere to vent their energy in vain when they go out on the high seas.

But today was different, he kicked the old fellas' asses and called them up one by one to clean up.

"Brother Liang, didn't you just wipe the deck yesterday? Why do you need to wipe it? After it rains, won't the deck be clean?" A sailor couldn't help complaining.

Zhang Chenliang did not explain, and silently took out the nunchaku.

So a vigorous cleaning began.

When Julie and her best friend boarded the Tibetan Fox, what they saw was such a scene of labor in full swing.

"Oh my God, Julie, these Orientals are hardworking!"

A 28-year-old young woman, dressed extravagantly, covered her mouth and stared wide-eyed.

Chapter 537 Princess Sissi and "Roman Holiday"

"Oh my God, Julie, these Orientals are hardworking!"

A 28-year-old young woman, dressed extravagantly, covered her mouth and stared wide-eyed.

And her eyes were focused on a Chinese sailor, to be exact, on Zhang Chenliang's round and plump buttocks that were raised when he was trying to wipe the deck.

God!

Can humans really have such a straight buttocks?

The young woman blinked her eyes, then turned her head hastily, and turned back again, still in disbelief.

Julie didn't notice the focus of her best friend's eyes and her unrestrained attention.

Julie is wearing a simple dress today, with a big hat with a red curtain hanging from the brim.

Even so, that beautiful figure still couldn't be concealed, not inferior to the lady beside him, and even better than many.

In general, it is completely different from the hot image of Zhu Fugui holding the bible on her head and pouting her butt. At this time, Julie is like the most dignified European noble lady, exuding the image of a little bourgeois and a feudal lord. smell.

If old Vanderbilt were here, he would have stared those old eyes out.

The most troublesome rebellious girl in the family actually has such a side.

Right taste, too right taste!

This is the image he always wanted his granddaughter to show!

It's a pity that old Vanderbilt is destined not to see all this.

Today, the head of Vanderbilt's family is not so much an old man who is old and mentally debilitated and almost led the family to a desperate situation, but a member of the third generation who has unimaginable wealth and power with his back against the Eastern tyrant. Vanderbilt Jolie.

In fact, Julie doesn't care too much about the family affairs, it's her father who turned into a serf and sang.

Julie just used the family's channels and contacts to help manage the funds entrusted to her by Mr. Huang He, so as to maintain and increase the value.

At the same time, help him realize the grand plan in his heart as much as possible.

At this moment, Julie is boarding the deck arm in arm with her rather mysterious best friend.

Hearing the exclamation of her best friend, Julie spread her hands, "Sissy, you are really surprised. If you get in touch with oriental men more, you will know that hard work and bravery are their national characteristics. Well, just like The slickness and hypocrisy of the Roman man is as deep as the bone marrow."

"Oh, my dear Julie, what we generally call romanticism is the quality of slickness and hypocrisy..."

The girlfriend named "Sissy" spread her hands, noncommittal, "But I admit, Oriental men are really cute."

Following closely behind the two were four maids.

The two followed behind their girlfriends, and the two followed behind Julie.

Julie's maids are old and young, the young one is the little maid who has been with Julie all the time; the old one is Margaret, the head maid who used to always look like a horse to Julie, but now she has no longer dared to be around. Julie showed a trace of disrespect in front of her.

Farther behind the maids are the bodyguards of two noble girls (women).

Several white bodyguards wanted to go forward to drive away the sailors on the deck, but they were held down by several other Asian-faced men in black.
