In the embassy, ​​Smith and Zach Dogg were drinking, and suddenly someone knocked on the door, "Mr. Ambassador!"

"Come in!" Smith put down his wine glass.

A kid in a dressed dress walked in and closed the door.

Smith smiled and said, "Dear Wang, I guess you have brought me good news."

The translator shook his head, "Amistant, I'm very sorry, the court rejected your request. Grandet smuggled opium with conclusive evidence. The court decided to hear the trial according to the law and would probably be shot!"

"What?" Smith was shocked, but then he was angry and said, "God, this is too barbaric. Poor Grandet, he is just a businessman, and he is not a Chinese. How can he accept the trial of China? I protest solemnly on behalf of Dae-British!"

"Mr. Ambassador, save the poor Grandet!" Zachdog was excited.

Smith had a gloomy face, "Wang, if Gan Chao does not release Grandet and return the goods to British merchants, Dae-ying considers severing diplomatic and commercial relations with Gan Chao!"

...

The ants build caves on the river bank. Before the river bank collapses, they cannot stop expanding their nests until they finally destroy them together.

This is Gao Huan's summary of the demise of the Ming Dynasty, so he did not allow such an ant hole in the Ganchao.

The Zhou family father and son were killed, and the family's wealth was confiscated, and the court received nearly 10 million silver dollars.

Gao Huan ordered a large amount of money to sow from it to pay tribute to the victims, especially the former Shanghai county magistrate and the Dianshi.

Both of them were killed and framed by the Zhou family because of their intention to expose the Zhou family's trafficking of opium and poisoning the people. They did not receive fair treatment after their death, and their family's life was extremely miserable.

The first thing that the new Shanghai County Magistrate did after taking office was to visit the two families with compensation and the imperial certificate.

The county magistrate who was previously thrown into the pond was defined as having missed after drinking and was not compensated. Now he is pursued by the court as a death to the line of duty, anti-black hero and model, and his body moved to the martyr's cemetery for worship.

In addition, the court provided 10,000 yuan for his family and a son, and was the chief of the Guoan Division.

The case of the former Dianshi being falsely accused of rape of women was also revealed. The family received compensation from the court and justice. The whole family burst into tears and was grateful.

Gao Huan looked at this scene from afar and felt uncomfortable, and he felt that he had a long way to go.

"Go back!" Gao Huan put down the curtain of the car and sighed and ordered.

When Yang Yan heard this, he waved his hand and asked the soldiers to drive the carriage back to the palace.

At this time, as soon as Gao Huan returned to the palace, he saw Du Yinxi happening to be outside, so he picked up the curtain of the car and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

This time, the Zhou family father-son case and the long-term rectification campaign, Du Yinxi was the party that made a big profit.

In the Council, except for the several people who were placed in the local government as governors, the position of Du Yinxi in Beijing was undoubtedly behind.

The officialdom is a place where qualifications and rules are concerned. The position is low, which means that in the Council, there is no saying or real power, and it can only deal with miscellaneous affairs in the top political affairs.

This time, Zhou Yanru fell and was exiled to Lingbei. Gao Hongtu was demoted back to his hometown. He immediately lost two people, and he was two steps closer to the position of leading the political discussion. Moreover, the miscellaneous affairs will be handed over to the new political discussion.

Du Yinxi has been in good spirits recently and is very energetic. When he saw Gao Huan, he quickly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Gao Huan walked out of the carriage and said, "Go in and talk!"

The two of them returned to the palace, Gao Huan sat down, and the guard brought tea, Gao Huan greeted him, "Sit down! What's the matter?"

After Du Yinxi sat down, he saluted and said, "Your Majesty, it's still about the British merchant!"

Gao Huan frowned slightly, "Is there anything else to say about this matter? According to the law, judge as much as you should!"

Du Yinxi said: "Your Majesty, this is the situation. Now the British ambassador has a lot of opinions on us and threatens how we sentence British merchants to death, so we must break off diplomatic relations with us and cut off contacts."

Gao Huan snorted coldly, "If he wants to break it, just break it! How could I be threatened by them!"

Du Yinxi could only remind: "Your Majesty, I think the British will make a fuss about trade."

Gao Huan frowned, "What do you say?"

Du Yinxi said: "Your Majesty, when we do business, if there are two buyers who can choose, then our things can be sold at a relatively reasonable price. If multiple companies compete to buy, our goods can be sold at a high price. Now we are in a bad position with Spain and the Netherlands. Only two buyers in the ocean trade are left in the United Kingdom and Portugal. Among them, Portugal has a weak national strength and limited goods to be able to earn. Ocean trade has almost been monopolized by the United Kingdom."

Gao Huan immediately understood that once any industry or channel forms a monopoly, the right to speak will be taken away by the monopoly enterprises.

"My dear means that Britain will threaten to cut off ocean trade and let us release people." Gao Huan said in a deep voice.

Du Yinxi nodded, "Your Majesty also knows that since the land is state-owned, less land has absorbed money, and the wealthy family has nowhere to go. Some of them have poured into shops and houses, causing the prices of shops and houses to rise year by year, and some have used usury to lend to the people. A large part of them have flowed into industry, causing the vigorous development of workshops in Jiangnan. Now the goods produced by the workshops every day are piled up like mountains. Our dynasty urgently needs to expand the market. If the British do not buy our goods, then sales will definitely be affected!"

Gao Huan frowned and nodded, "Millions of workers in Jiangnan are engaged in industrial production. As long as the loom turns, the society in Jiangnan will be stable. If the loom stops rotating and the workers are unemployed, social problems will break out. Jiangnan is the core of the empire and must not be messed up."

At this time, Qianchao is a machine that starts industrialization. When it starts to rotate, it cannot stop.

Du Yinxi said: "Yes! Although I, Daqian, control the entire East and Southeast Asia, and the region can be said to be very large, the relatively mature markets are only Japan, North Korea, Annan, and Siam. The main export direction of trade is India, Ottoman, and Europa in the west!"

After the great geographical discovery, the world known to the Qian Dynasty people became larger, and the market that could digest Qian Dynasty goods was only a few.

At this time, most areas in the world were in an era of poverty and backwardness, and had not been developed yet, the economy was backward, the people were poor, and they were impermanent.

Most people in this area cannot afford to consume goods from Qianchao, and the market is too small.

Today, the most developed regions in the world are also the four centers of the world, distributed in China, India, Ottoman, and Europe.

Most of the world's wealth is concentrated in these four regions, and these four regions are the four largest markets.

At this time, because the Qian Dynasty's fleet could not pass Malacca, the goods sold to India, Ottoman and European markets of Qian Dynasty were transported by merchant ships from Portugal and Britain.

This means that three of the four major markets are controlled by the West.

Therefore, Britain threatened to cut off contacts, which did have a significant impact on Ganchao.

Du Yinxi looked at Gao Huan's expression and continued: "Your Majesty, I have also received some news!"

"What news!" Gao Huan asked.

Du Yinxi said: "A missionary was arrested in Jingdezhen, and they seemed to steal it again, Jingdezhen's porcelain making technology!"

Gao Huan was shocked when he heard the words, "Yin Hongxu, didn't that guy wait for decades before he preached in Jingdezhen while stealing Jingdezhen's technology and passing it on to Europe?"

The British spent a large amount of silver dollars every year to purchase large quantities of goods from Ganchao.

The huge profits that Ganchao obtained from trade have long made Britain jealous, so the British sent many missionaries to steal Ganchao's technology about tea, porcelain, and silk, with the intention of producing them themselves.

If the UK mastered the technology of these products and could produce goods, then they would not need to purchase goods from Ganchao, exclude Ganchao from the world trading system, defeat Ganchao's manufacturing industry, and turn Ganchao into their market.

Historically, the negligence of the Qing Dynasty's rule was hesitated. Fujian's tea planting and tea making technology was stolen by the British "economic spy" Fujun, and Jingdezhen's porcelain making technology was passed back to Europe by French spy Yin Hongxu.

Since then, China's tea and porcelain have gradually been replaced by Western European products, and the once wealthy Jiangxi and Fujian have gradually declined.

Of course, Gao Huan is not as strict as the Qing Dynasty, and he is not as good as the Qing Dynasty, and does not have this concept.

Gao Huan heard the words and pondered for a while, feeling the threat. This threat was not a military but an economic threat.

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "I have someone checked it, what technology has the British stole."

For Britain, severing trade was a severing one thousand enemies and 800 damage to itself. Gao Huan was a little doubtful that Britain had already stolen Chinese porcelain making and tea planting and production technology, so he had the confidence to threaten him to sever his trade.
