Chapter 208 The problem is that the Qing Dynasty is too powerful!
This news made Louis XVI very happy: "Look, I said that France is going to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty, how could they let our French students learn their military knowledge?"
Pierre was also very proud: "Although I don't want to say that I have any credit because I am not humble enough, you know, this has a lot to do with my close contacts with the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty."
Louis XVI nodded: "Yes, I recognize your contribution. When you return to France, you will receive a ban and a fiefdom as a reward."
However, Pierre thought about it for many years and was looking forward to the news for many years, but it did not make Pierre truly happy.
If it were the Qing Dynasty, Pierre would have been ecstatic about this news, but after the Ming Dynasty, Pierre felt that he still liked the Ming Dynasty more.
At least, you don’t have to endure the smell of shit and urine that can be heard everywhere in France.
After careful consideration, Pierre still declined Louis XVI's reward: "If I could speak, I would rather stay in the Ming Dynasty so as to better help France."
In order to increase the persuasiveness of his words, Pierre even took the initiative to raise an example: "For example, the solution to the debts owed by the French treasury is what I heard from the Prime Minister of Ming. If someone else comes, the Prime Minister of Ming may not say it."
"For example, the last time I asked someone to transport the muskets and artillery back to France was a transaction specially approved by the Governor's Office of the Five Army of the Ming Dynasty for my friendship with the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty. In the whole of Europe, only France has such advanced muskets and artillery."
Louis XVI also agreed with Pierre's statement.
Indeed, since Pierre had contact with the Prime Minister of Ming, France has indeed become better in every aspect, especially the treasury that once owed 2 billion francs, but now only one billion francs are left.
Why?
Because France began to gradually introduce the Ming system and began to use house searches to deal with the officials and nobles who harmed the French people.
Because France monopolized many Ming merchandise, it made a lot of francs in transactions with other Europa countries.
But Louis XVI couldn't help feeling guilty about Pierre's efforts: "Pierre, you have paid too much for France."
Pierre thought to himself that as long as you don't bring me back to France, don't let me breathe the unique air of France, I, someone else, would rather give more.
Pierre shook his head and said, "This is all right. By the way, let's not talk about these things for now. This is your first time in the Ming Dynasty. I should take you to see the train that witnessed the Ming Dynasty."
Then, Louis XVI saw the steam locomotive of the Ming Dynasty.
"According to the current counting method of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of steam locomotive can run about 40 kilometers per hour. Of course, this is just the theoretical limit speed. In fact, when it is fully loaded with cargo, its speed is about 30 kilometers."
Pierre proudly introduced the Ming Dynasty's steam locomotive: "This greatly reduces transportation costs. For example, it might have taken one or two months or even longer to transport cattle and sheep on the Ming grassland to Guangdong, but it only takes about ten days to transport it by train."
"The advantage of doing this is that it can not only reduce losses during transportation, but also increase the speed of material circulation between various places in the Ming Dynasty, making the connection between various places in the Ming Dynasty closer."
"If we have to find a more vivid way of describing railways, then the most correct one should be the spider web, because it closely links the entire Ming Empire."
Louis XVI was a little envious and asked, "You said, will Ming sell us this kind of thing?"
Pierre shook his head and sighed: "Sorry, my king, my Majesty, I also hope France can have a railway, but I asked the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, and the answer I got was that the production capacity was seriously insufficient, and that exports would not be considered within five years at least."
"Of course, the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty also promised me that as long as the production capacity problem is solved, France will be the first country in Europe to build a railway network, and no country can rank ahead of France."
Louis XVI nodded in disappointment, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "What if we France made it ourselves?"
Pierre shook his head and replied, "You should ask the scholars of the Royal Academy of France."
"However, the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty once told me that the cost of laying a railway network would be very high, so high that even the Ming Dynasty could not afford it. I don't think France could afford the cost of building a railway."
"In fact, even if it is full of gold, the Ming Dynasty, which is a super empire in the Far East, is now just laying the main railway, which is the connecting line between provinces. As for the route to the next level, it will probably take decades or even hundreds of years."
"If you really want to pave the railway in France, I think you should wait a moment, at least wait for the treasury to be more relaxed, and French citizens have a higher recognition of French national debt."
Louis XVI's face was immediately filled with disappointment.
After all, it was because France was too poor.
But when he took over France, France was already poor and later married a deficit wife as the queen of France. Wouldn't the French treasury be even poorer?
No, I still have to find a way to get the money.
After pondering for a while, Louis XVI asked, "Speaking of all, is there anything new in the Ming Dynasty that is missing from the entire Europa? Or is there anything on the Europa that the Ming Dynasty needs?"
Pierre was wondering if there was anything in Ming Dynasty that Europa was not short of?
Food? Europa has a big gap.
Silk? It can't be produced on Europa.
Gusu/span Tea? Europa has a fart tea.
Porcelain? France can produce, but the porcelain produced is far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention the remaining muskets, cannons, steam locomotives and other things.
As for the rest...
Pierre replied with a tangled face: "Europe is particularly lacking in all the things in the Ming Dynasty, but the things on the European side of the Ming Dynasty only need labor and food, and almost nothing is needed for the rest."
"To be honest, I can't understand why this is - just eight years ago, when the Tatars were still ruled by the place, they still needed to import some Europa products, but now, Europa needs the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty does not need Europa."
After getting this not surprising answer, Louis XVI also fell into deep thought.
If this continues, it means that the real money and silver of Europa will flow into the Ming Dynasty continuously, the Ming Dynasty will become richer and stronger, and the European Union will become more and more barren.
After thinking about it for a while, Louis XVI could only sigh helplessly and said, "Fortunately, France and the Ming Dynasty are allies. The stronger the Ming Dynasty, the more France will benefit more in Europa."
As annoying as Louis XVI, George III of England, John Adams, the responsible thief leader, and a large number of French kings and monarchs.
But unlike Louis XVI, Louis XVI, the slutty thing, was too shameless. From the beginning, he clamored to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. By reselling Ming products to Europa, France made a lot of money.
However, other countries and the silly thief were unable to catch up with this kind of good thing. Even though everyone saw that silver was flowing into the Ming Dynasty, and the silver in their hands was getting less and less, everyone had no solution.
As for challenging the Ming Dynasty and using artillery fire to break the Ming Dynasty's national gates...
That would be even more impossible.
Not to mention that their own muskets and cannons are not as powerful as the Ming Dynasty, even if they are exactly the same as the Ming Dynasty's muskets and cannons, hundreds of countries of all sizes, cannot join forces.
England and France are not in the way, and Europa chooses a few countries, and France may have a grudge against each other. France is the most loyal ally of the Ming Dynasty in Europa. Once a war begins, what will those unreliable French frogs go to?
Therefore, until the King of Europa, who had their own worries, came to Jinan Prefecture, these people could not come up with any way to stop the outflow of silver.
...
Just as the kings and monarchs of Europa were thinking about how to open up new sources of wealth to fight the outflow of silver, Zhu Jinsong was also discussing with Zeng Cheng how to dig holes and bury people faster and more efficiently.
Zhu Jinsong said: "There are five companies that can make up for their own reasons on the surface, and these five companies must be divided into two levels, so that the world can know that it is not that our Ming Dynasty is unreasonable, but that this little company is not doing human affairs."
"Of course the headquarters must be located in the Ming Dynasty. Should it be located on the land of those barbarians? The Ministry of Works turned around and found a place in the capital to build a headquarters for Xiaobo."
"Let all countries take out real money and silver to maintain the operation of the small broken pot. Our Ming Dynasty cannot be the sucker. Also, remember to tell them that those who add small broken pots will be protected by the small broken pot, and those who do not join will of course not be protected by the small broken pot."
"For example, if two small countries have a war, then they have to be left to Xiaobou for judgment. Xiaobou said who is guilty, then who is guilty."
"What if there was a war between the Ming Dynasty and other countries?"
"Isn't this nonsense? The Ming Dynasty must have been punished by the people. How could it launch a war at will?"
"What's the matter? What should I do if the remaining money is left? Of course, I can't directly get it into the treasury of the Ming Dynasty. We have to use the remaining money to help the victims, save the suffering people all over the world, and strive for a real world harmony as soon as possible."
"For example, where the flood occurred in the Ming Dynasty, the small broken pot can be used for money. For example, where the earthquake occurred in France, the small broken pot can be used for money."
"Also, those who have the small pot and the spoon must choose from other messy countries, as long as they have the final say in the Ming Dynasty and the other four."
"The Ming Dynasty has the final say with the other four, and it cannot be replaced. This must be written into the Xiaobo Charter. I believe you can plug those messy loopholes."
"Remember, you cannot punish the five great good people, and you cannot be respected by the barbarians."
Listening to Zhu Jinsong's slutty statements, Zeng Cheng couldn't help but look confused, until the cube was indefinitely confused.
Zeng Cheng couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it - if he followed His Majesty's words, then wouldn't this little shattering pot serve the Ming Dynasty?
The problem is that the Ming Dynasty is already so awesome, why do you have to make such a small pot to decorate the store? Isn’t it better to just crush it to see who is unhappy?
Zhu Jinsong naturally explained Zeng Cheng’s question: “This is not what it is to calculate.”
"If I had been two or three hundred years in the morning, even if it was only one hundred years in the morning, I would not have been tormented by this little slaughter."
