Deep Space Fleet

During the discussion like this, the music of "jingle jingle" sounded, and the first polonez dance began.

For girls attending high society events, ball gowns were usually brightly colored and decorated with light streamers. Girls like Anna wear a string of small pearl necklaces. Only married wives can wear expensive jewelry and black clothes.

Zhang Yuan is not interested in dancing, even though this kind of dance party is full of extravagant flavors that human beings instinctively like.

The upper class here is extremely open, as long as they are not married, everyone is very tolerant of all kinds of affairs. His dead ghost father doesn't know how many sneaky lovers have even become conversation topics in the women's boudoir, and he is proud of it...

Every world has its own temptations. In this strange and dark world, there are only a few people who can live a prosperous life. Some people can sell their children for a bite of food; some people are working hard in the dark mine; there are still a small number of people singing and dancing in the room.

In particular, it is destined to be a member of Yinggeyanwu at birth, or join them completely. Or, go for a change.

But it has become extremely difficult to change anything. The cake in the whole world is only so small, how can it be evenly distributed?

Can it be changed by applying Marx's principles to this world?

cannot.

Zhang Yuan shook his head lightly.

Small places to live, poor productivity, backward technology, food scarcity, high illiteracy rates, and slavery are all problems that entrenched capitalism is nothing compared to.

The first dance was the solemn Polonez, which was performed by all invitees, even after sitting at the card tables all night long.

This dance has a slow rhythm and uncomplicated movements. Immediately afterwards, a large number of old gamblers gathered to gamble enthusiastically. There are a large number of nobles who have fallen down because of gambling. This is also very good. Some people fall down, and some people can be promoted.

The second dance is often a quadrille.

The third was a lively waltz, performed by men and women who were good at dancing.

The last is the Cortillon dance. This dance provides many opportunities to chase after your sweetheart, talk about love and confession, etc. It is everyone's favorite dance.

Zhang Yuan casually ate some pastries, while thinking, recalling a poem "Evgeny Onegin" he had read.

[In the past, full of lust and laughter, I loved the dance party so much that I loved it so much that you could secretly slip a note, and there was no better place to talk about love. Dear married man! Would you accept a little courtesy from me? 】

There were indeed many girls who handed him some notes, and some married men were watching him secretly.

Zhang Yuan didn't have a habit of cuckolding other men, and he was also afraid that his sister would run out to mess with her in this environment, so he just dragged Anna around and danced around until she was about to faint on the ground, and then he felt confident and bold. Go do business.

"Young Lord Earl, you should choose a suitable dance partner instead of restraining your sister here... She has grown up and has her own thoughts." The grizzled Duke joked on the side.

He just likes to see young people full of vitality, and he may even find his next love affair here.

"Lord Duke, I have a business I want to discuss with you." Zhang Yuan turned his head and looked at the other's old face: "Do you have a spare fleet?"

"You mean..." The old man's eyes flickered, and he regained his dignity in front of this big deal.

In this world, no single city can support itself, and each city has its own specialty.

Boulder City produces coal and steel, so it is the center of the entire empire; cities in the evening zone further west produce fruits, vegetables, and food; other places are rich in various fish, spices, gems, wine, etc. .

What connects these cities is navigation.

Most of the nobles have nautical trade business. If you don't have your own trade network, then in the fierce competition, it will soon decline.

Zhang Yuan's "father" died in a shipwreck a year ago, and the entire fleet was buried at the bottom of the sea. Although the family heritage is still there, they must reshape their trade network.

The old man quickly figured out his thoughts. They were not in direct competition with Zhang Yuan's family, so a little help would be fine. Moreover, he also appreciates the motivation of young people to venture out, and is willing to make such an investment.

"Of course, to rent a fleet, you must pay collateral and rent, it's not free."

"That's no problem." Zhang Yuan replied: "I still have some shares in candy factories and steel factories in my hand, which can be mortgaged to you. As for the rest of the property, I want to leave it to my sister. If I unfortunately encounter shipwreck, I hope you can look after my father, take care of her, and pass on the title to her children."

The two talked about the end of the prom, and then signed a related agreement.

In fact, relying on the design drawings of the steam machinery in his hand, Zhang Yuan can open a mechanical processing factory and live a prosperous life. In other words, relying on the existing contacts and resources to do some financial industry, the capitalism of the whole society has just developed to the initial stage, there are too many opportunities, and it is not worthwhile to go sailing by yourself.

Zhang Yuan just wanted to know more about the whole world.

As for these blueprints, he was going to find an opportunity to throw them directly to his sister and let her handle them. After you have no worries, do something you want to do. It doesn't matter to Zhang Yuan how much money he can make.

Two months go by quickly...

A large ship with a displacement of 4,000 tons has already stopped at the port. Although it is not a real fleet, it can carry out normal trade anyway.

Anna grabbed her skirt and watched Zhang Yuan leave with a look of reluctance. After these two months of being friendly, she has become Zhang Yuan's loyal fan girl. In two months, Zhang Yuanyong handled all kinds of troubles in the original factory, including the relationship between people. The little lump in her heart has long since disappeared, and she has also disconnected from the original bad girlfriends. .

She finally understood why her father suddenly changed his mind and was willing to pass on the title to his elder brother who had been ill before...

It's just a gap in IQ!

"Don't die!" Anna yelled when she saw them walk out of the room door.

Zhang Yuan laughed loudly and waved his hand, "No!"
