Chapter 867 The King's Banquet

He did not know that without Chu Yun's intervention, a bourgeois revolution would break out here in a few years, and Charles I would soon be executed by the parliament led by Cromwell. At this time, the capitalists' power was already very powerful.

"Shopkeeper, the people here recommend our porcelain and silk, and it will be a huge market in the future!" said the apprentice who followed Li Jinde.

"It's not just porcelain and silk, but also spices, tea and some industrial products. After the operation is done, it will take a market of hundreds of thousands of people, which is enough to make us rich." Another apprentice said.

Although the city of London is beginning to rise now, Chu Yun has technology that transcends this era, allowing the Chinese businessmen below to have the confidence to invade the market across the ocean.

"Maybe it can radiate to the entire West with the city of London as the center... But it is impossible to do it with my own financial resources." Li Jinde gradually learned about the situation in the West from the British sailors.

At this time, the Western countries were in constant wars. The population of a country was far from comparable to that of China. If they were all added together, it would be terrible, and the market was no smaller than that of the domestic ones.

"After we go back, we report to the Far East Trading Company, and we may be able to obtain official support and allow us Fujian merchants to act as pioneers in developing Western routes."

"Did you forget that the British sailors said there were Barbary pirates on the sea route? The sea route to the West is not peaceful!"

"Maybe we can organize several armed merchant ships to escort the caravans. Some of our merchants bought armed merchant ships from the military headquarters. Otherwise, we might as well let the military headquarters come to attack these pirates."

Under the leadership of Count Stratford, several people came to the state banquet hall where the banquet was held while discussing in a low voice.

Li Jinde and several people wearing Hanfu appeared in the state banquet hall, and hundreds of nobles looked at them in unison. For them, Li Jinde and others dressed strangely.

In the eyes of Li Jinde and others, these hundreds of gorgeously dressed and strangely dressed nobles also looked strange.

"Welcome to you, friends from the East!" Charles I held the scepter, and the nobles consciously made way for him.

Li Jinde was a little confused. He didn't know the etiquette in Britain, and he couldn't understand what Charles I said, so he was stunned for a moment and was at a loss.

"This is our King Charles, and this is Li Jinde, a Chinese businessman." The British sailors hired by Li Jinde promptly rescued the siege and introduced them to each other.

"For the first time I came to your country, I was grateful for the king's love and fear." After Li Jinde understood, he bowed respectfully to Charles I.

"This is an etiquette in the East, showing your respect for the king, and he is panicked by your reception." The British sailor explained to Charles I.

"I understand that it doesn't matter if you use Eastern etiquette." Charles I actually didn't understand, but in front of many nobles, he could not lose the king's majesty, and he seemed generous.

While Charles I was talking to Li Jinde, hundreds of nobles suddenly made another noise. Some nobles whispered in private: "Princess Sophia is here too!"
