[Comprehensive] The painting style of time travel is wrong

When a merchant ship bound for the New World didn't return, no one cared.

Unpredictable, in this era without radios and global positioning systems, voyage has always been a game for the brave - but in this game, the brave don't always pass the level smoothly.

Only when they heard familiar sailors crossing their chests drunkenly in the bar, would anyone remember that there was such a group of people on such a ship.

When none of the ten merchant ships headed for the New World returned, besides the cargo owners complaining about their bad luck, some people might wonder whether this was a conspiracy against their chamber of commerce.

Although it is not common for the unlucky ones to gather together, it is not a very rare situation. Under the storm, all beings are equal.

The impact of this is that within a period of time, the prices of every commodity on the wharf skyrocketed like a triple jump, and unscrupulous profiteers took advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

But when no merchant ships headed for the New World returned for half a month, the situation became completely different.

First of all, the wave of price hikes began to spread from the docks to the city. The prices of all commodities on the market, whether they were produced in the New World or not, were changed from triple jumps to pole vaults.

Among them, food has the greatest impact on people's lives. The price increases that are visible to the naked eye have led to long queues in front of the food store around the clock, and countless workers with stains on their faces and calluses on their hands are on the first day after work. Join them in a short time, in order to buy as much food as possible before the next price increase of food.

Then, the "vultures" who smelled the smell and quickly joined in. This group of bankers and speculators with large sums of money raised the supposed crisis to a new level. It was originally just pole vaulting. The price instantly turned into a smooth cliff, and this "only earn, not lose" business has attracted more people who were still waiting to join in.

As a result of the soaring food prices fed back to the market, the food that was in sufficient supply a few days ago seemed to "disappear" without a trace overnight.

Countless gossip began to circulate in the market, "the famine among the four horsemen of the apocalypse is coming", "the punishment from God" and other unknown gossips quickly overwhelmed the country's talk about "there is no shortage of food" and "will come from other countries. The Colonies' Requisition for Grain".

In the end, the food that the United Kingdom urgently allocated from warehouses around the world was burned due to an "accidental fire" before it was unloaded at the London dock. Because of new and old hatreds, France and Spain, together with several neighboring countries, declared that they refused to provide the United Kingdom with food. After the food, the price of food completely lost control and began to stride towards the realm of "crazy".

Well, Tsarist Russia agreed to support his distant relative, but with Russia's poor administrative efficiency and terrible traffic at that time, it can be said that the far away cannot solve the near fire.

When countless gentlemen in the exchange smiled at the straight upward price of grain and secretly calculated how much their wealth increased due to the price increase, they did not notice the hard-working people on the street just a few walls away from them. One day, civilians who can't even fill their own stomachs, let alone family members.

They wandered lifelessly in the streets, alleys, warehouses, and outside the storefronts like wandering ghosts. The bloodshot eyes vaguely reveal a terrifying gaze that is indescribable but can make everyone who sees it feel a chill in their hearts.

There is obviously no shortage of food, but hunger has indeed begun to spread among the bottom of the UK.

The "market" is so wonderful, believers in neoliberal economics always claim that the market can decide everything, but in some fields, if the market is completely left to decide, the process will be extremely cruel and terrifying.

At this moment, the instigator of all this is wearing a well-fitting costume and a long and curly wig, as a new nobleman, he is visiting the family property of a famous person of later generations.

"Don... Earl? I heard from my wife that in addition to assembling ships, you also want to invest in my shipyard?"

The middle-aged man stood about five or six steps away from Tang Xuening, and respectfully took off his hat to salute her.

For this oriental girl who was originally a pirate, she helped the great Britain defeat the evil Spaniards, and with such feats she became a legend of an earl, which is now inspiring countless captains and sailors all over Europe, even Mr. Watt (Note 1), who has always been honest and honest, has also heard about it.

"Yes, but I have one condition."

The girl nodded, but before the smile spread on Mr. Watt's face, she continued:

"That means the entire shipyard must be transferred to my territory in the New World."

"This condition..."

After Mr. Watt was stunned for a moment, he almost gritted his teeth to answer, and he could see how difficult the decision he had made was.

On the one hand, it was hard to choose between the unfamiliar New World and the hometown where he had lived for a long time. On the other hand, according to some rumors, the countess in front of him had a hobby of bathing in human blood and eating human flesh.

"Please don't refuse so quickly, have you seen the madness outside now?"

But the girl didn't wait for him to finish, but waved her hand:

"The skyrocketing food prices have made the need for hired workers much higher than before, can you still complete the orders you took before?

Even if it can be completed, how much profit can it bring you?

I saw your child outside, a very cute little boy, please think more about him. "

……

"Okay, let's go."

When Tang Xuening grabbed the hem of her huge tutu skirt and boarded the carriage, a man dressed in a black housekeeper's uniform, but still had a beastly aura that could not be concealed, was already waiting inside.

But it wasn't until the carriage began to bump and drive that she asked:

"Blackbeard, you did a good job with driving up the price of food. How much gold and silver do we have?"

"Basically all of them have been used up according to your order, and even now some coastal areas of Denmark and France have started to see food prices skyrocket because of our crazy purchases.

During this period of time, my people have secretly intercepted more than a dozen merchant ships transporting food, but it is estimated that there are still many slipping through the net.

As for other things, I didn't do all of them. "

Blackbeard explained to the girl.

"That night I dealt with three waves of troops on the pier, until finally I found out that they were not soldiers guarding the food ship, and they were all carrying whale oil and flint like me.

It is now heard that some Royal Navy warships have also begun to take the opportunity of patrols to attack food ships to make extra money. "

"Well... let's call it a day then."

The girl who realized that she had not estimated the lower limit of those profiteers continued to ask after a moment of moaning.

"So how are things going in London?"

"Very well, the group of the Royal Academy of Sciences took the bait. They will hold a review meeting the day after tomorrow to review the electromagnetic induction paper of 'Mr. Faraday', and most members of the Academy of Sciences will be present."

Blackbeard showed a bloodthirsty smile. He hadn't killed for a long time since he became a Bodak, and now he missed that feeling very much.

And he knew that he, Blackbeard, would soon become a legend along with the fire of London and the blood of countless people.

"And the Queen Anne's Revenge can be assembled by that Mr. Watt tonight. I just need to name her the ship again."

"Remember not to do it too deliberately."

Looking at the speeding scenery outside the car window, the girl nodded lightly as a response.

"Although the possibility is small, it's better not to arouse suspicion-after all, you have been haunted in the Caribbean before."

"Relax, I just 'accidentally' caught them while ransacking London."

Blackbeard smiled hehe:

"And I am the murderous Edward Blackbeard, the villain that the British Navy once wanted to eliminate at all costs. No matter what evil deeds I do, it is normal."

"Well, what about the person I want you to prepare?"

The girl continued to ask without any expression.

"Two Bodaks that I specially transformed took advantage of the night to set off on a boat yesterday.

A Frenchman, a Danish, and then they will sneak into Paris and Copenhagen respectively under the aliases of Lin Dengwan and Lin according to your request. "

When Blackbeard mentioned those two names, he seemed to think that these two names were too weird (Note 2), or he didn't quite understand the purpose of the girl doing this, but he didn't struggle with this point, and Yes continued:

"The "My Struggle" you wrote, I also printed thousands of copies and let them take it away with me. I believe that it will be sent to countries around the world as a 'donation of a patriot' along with those financial aids soon. Activists gone.

As for the disease you mentioned 'like the most terrifying murderous curse', an expedition team composed entirely of undead has also set off for the Congo, and they went upstream from the Congo River to find the patient. "

"very good."

After speaking, the girl thought for a while and added:

"Remember to kill less people when attacking London, but remember to burn all the food you find. In the past two days, send someone to check the location of the largest granaries in London...

Britain's slow response this time is nothing more than because the upper echelons know that there is no shortage of food, but now the food has been hoarded in many warehouses for the time being.

But since everyone feels that there is a shortage of food, then I think it is necessary to follow the public opinion-let the market really lack food. "

"Your will is my mission."

After saluting slightly, Blackbeard opened the car door, jumped off the speeding carriage, and quickly disappeared from the girl's sight.

"Then the matter is almost done, and it's time to go to London to meet Barbossa. I don't know how he talked with King George II..."

As for those nobles, the girl had already seen how they behaved thousands of years ago in the last world, so she had no intention of meeting them face to face this time, so she simply pushed them all to Barbossa.

In fact, no matter what the two sides negotiated, the girl would not care, it was just a smoke for the convenience of her own actions.

The girl propped her chin with her hand and muttered to herself:

"Even without James Watt, the practical steam engine would have appeared a few years or ten years later at most.

But without the vast New World market, without the cheap resources and a large amount of gold and silver hard currency provided by the New World, coupled with the wars that are about to sweep across Europe and the rising tide of nationalism, I will make Britain, a country that may be alone, be in chaos. , Will the industrial revolution in this world still happen? "(Note 3)

Then, the girl closed her eyes and smiled:

"Then in this war that is destined to affect countless countries, without the support of the industrial revolution, and I use my immortal body to set an example for them, what will they show me? I really look forward to it~"

The wheel of history is rolling forward, but no one knows that a young girl full of curiosity is digging a hole for it...

The author has something to say: Cough, first of all, let me make a statement: I will try a daily update for a period of time tomorrow-but just try!Please treat this statement cautiously and rationally.

In fact, before the industrial revolution began in the eighteenth century, Britain was still an agricultural country, and selling agricultural products across oceans would undoubtedly lose money in that era.But even so, and the girl's plan is to follow the timing of "the New World route is cut off" and suddenly invest a huge amount of money (the golden ship she snatched) into the food market instead of the luxury market, which will cause unimaginable damage to the market in the first place. shock.And then the market and speculators who see opportunities will hoard goods to further push up food prices. At this time, as long as the state does not intervene, the price will immediately rise to the sky. This is also one of the means for some capitalists to harvest the wealth of small countries.In fact, this situation is similar to the "salt rush" that occurred in the past few years, artificially creating the illusion of shortage of supply and causing prices to soar.

Note 1: Watt's father, who invented the steam engine, was a shipyard owner.

Note 2: LEADERONE, No. [-] leader, the transliteration is Lin Dengwan.And Lin Dengtu is the transliteration of the second leader.

Note 3: This is also the reason for choosing to target the United Kingdom. Replace the American gold and silver with South African gold and silver, and replace the American market with the Asian market. As long as the British can really resist the temptation of "monopolizing the Americas" Confrontation and troops are spent on expeditions, so it is very likely to dominate the unification of Europe, and this unscrupulous girl's move is to kill this possibility.
