Chapter 1139 Notes from the United Kingdom

Gao Huan was slightly stunned when he heard Du Yinxi's words. The British dared to talk to him like this, for fear that he would be crazy if he had gained or lost his heart.

"Is that true?" Gao Huan snorted coldly, "What if I don't release it?"

The British warning made Gao Huan feel a little ridiculous and ridiculous.

Du Yinxi said: "Report to your Majesty, this British man didn't say anything!"

"They know each other." Gao Huan laughed, closed the memorial, and sneered in his heart, "The British man acted as my big deal in the Qing Dynasty. He thought that if he warned him, he would be scared!"

The British did not threaten to resolve the dispute by force, which means they are still normal.

Du Yinxi asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Gao Huan smiled contemptuously and said, "Let them protest. I will ban opium. British merchants smuggle opium into the country and poison my people. The leader must be shot according to the law. The rest must be sentenced according to law. Other countries cannot interfere with the law of my smuggling."

This time, Gao Huan did not start a massacre based on his likes and dislikes, but asked the Guoan Department and the Three Laws to collect evidence and then judge the Zhou family father and son, which also wanted to improve the rule of law in the court.

After all, it was already the mid-17th century. The Ganchao had already begun to modernize, and the country should gradually open up the rule of law.

For this reason, Gao Huan controlled his emotions, how could he tolerate the British interfering with the judiciary in the North?

Since the British are committing crimes in court, they should be tried by the officials. It is impossible for the British to release people if they say they want to release people.

Du Yinxi nodded when he heard the words, "I understand."

"Well, you go and do it!" Gao Huan waved his hand. To be honest, the British threatened with force, and Gao Huan was not afraid at all.

Gan Chaogang defeated Spain and the Netherlands in East Asia and Southeast Asia. When the British fleet arrived, Gao Huan sent them to feed the fish.

The great cause was not the Qing Dynasty. If the British fleet dared to come, Gao Huan would definitely tell them that there would be no return.

Britain itself knew that it was not a match for the dynasty in East Asia, so it did not dare to threaten force, so Gao Huan naturally did not take Britain's warning seriously.

At that moment, Du Yinxi bowed and left, while Gao Huan was thinking about how to launch an anti-gang campaign among the people, sending all bullies and hooligans to Beiling to compete with Tsarist Russia for control of Siberia.

In the court, a rectification campaign was launched to crack down on corruption and reshape the beliefs of officials.

...

That night, the British Embassy in Shanghai to Ganchao.

After the Ganchao defeated Spain and the Netherlands, the main targets of ocean trade became Britain and Portugal.

Because of frequent trade between the two sides and in order to fight against the Netherlands and Spain, Gao Huan sent envoys with Britain and Portugal to communicate.

Gao Huan allowed Western countries to set up embassies in Shanghai to facilitate the embassies to serve merchants from all countries in their work and to handle disputes between the two parties.

Of course, Gao Huan also sent ambassadors to Britain and Portugal, but the merchant ships of Ganchao were not able to arrive in Europe yet, so the main task of the two embassies was to collect information from Western Europe.

At this time, in the embassy room, British Ambassador Smith was drinking wine with the Jewish businessman who was working, Zachdog.

Like Grandet, Zachdog was a Jewish businessman of the British East India Company.

The British East India Company is as powerful as the Dutch East India Company, with its own army and can also mint currency, which is equivalent to a country.

In the trade between the Chinese and British people, Britain has been in a long-term deficit with the Chinese and Chinese trade. Every year, a large amount of silver flows into the Chinese and Korean countries. If this continues, British capital will not be able to accumulate enough funds, and it may be out of the industrial revolution.

In order to narrow the deficit and earn silver, the British East India Company purchased Chinese porcelain, tea and silk to grow opium in Bangladesh.

Although the East India Company has been growing opium for a short time, it has become the main source of revenue for East India Company.

Therefore, Grandet and the opium of two cargo ships were captured by the Dan Army. The Jewish merchants in Shanghai immediately went to the embassy to lobby Ambassador Smith, persuaded Gan Chao to release the people and return the goods.

"Amprovement, do you say that the man who is a kid will let go of the poor Grandet and return the opium?" Zachdog shook his wine glass and worriedly said, "The company is still waiting to sell the silver dollars obtained from opium to buy the goods from the kidnapping."

The British knew about Ganchao's strength. They almost watched with their own eyes that Ganchao defeated Spain and the Netherlands and drove the two former sea overlords out of East Asia.

Ambassador Smith drank a sip of wine, "Dear Zachdog, you can rest assured that I have submitted a note to the kids and let them release them as soon as possible. Their emperor suddenly listed opium as a list of prohibited trades, restricting free trade, which is a shameful act!"

Zuckerberg worried, "Mr. Ambassador, we have nothing to threaten the people in the court. Will they really release people?"

Smith said: "Who said I, Daei, cannot threaten the gang. I learned that the gang is overproductive in Jiangnan. If we stop purchasing goods from them and the gang is backlog of goods, they will definitely come to ask us."

Most Western European countries are commercial civilization and are very sensitive to business activities.

Since the land of Ganchao was established, the money of gentry, honorary and merchants was unable to invest in land, and large sums of silver dollars poured into construction and industry and commerce, causing workshops to bloom all over the south of the Yangtze River.

Now Ganchao urgently needs to expand the market and open up sales channels for goods. If the British cut off ocean trade, the goods in Jiangnan will definitely be backlogged.

Smith was very confident about this, and he continued: "Now Portugal has limited capabilities, we almost monopolize the ocean trade of people, and they rely heavily on us!"

Zuckerdog heard this, "If China can release Grandet, return opium, and allow us to sell it, the company will have the money to purchase the goods from Ganchao."

Smith said, "When it comes to Ganchao's goods, I hope that the East India Company can find soil for burning porcelain and land suitable for growing tea as soon as possible! When we burn porcelain and grow tea ourselves in a few years, we will do whatever we want."

After the British set up an embassy in Shanghai, they were also collecting Chinese intelligence and intending to steal Chinese technology.

The famous products of China's foreign trade are porcelain, tea and silk.

Western colonists dreamed of stealing Chinese porcelain fire and tea planting technology, as well as silk textile technology.

Among them, the techniques of raising silkworms and making silk were stolen by the West very early, and porcelain firing and tea planting will be stolen by France and Britain in the near future.

The three major products of tea, porcelain and silk were copied by the West, and eventually led to China's decline.

Tea and porcelain were originally China's flagship products, but later, British brands such as Lipton occupied most of the global market, and the famous porcelain brands were also foreign companies.

Now in the maritime trade, the big heads have been stolen, which has made Britain very dissatisfied. They have formulated plans to steal porcelain and tea varieties.
