Iron Dynasty

Chapter 438: Claire's Decision

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected in the office of the chief of the city of Jeranja. Tian Lai small

After watching Lord leave, Claire walked to the window. It was already evening at this time. The dusk covered the red brick city building and fell into each other, very beautiful.

After he came to Ryukyu, he was attracted by the beautiful scenery here. He even thought of bringing his wife to this beautiful place, but now everything is getting worse and worse.

Frowning, Claire finds it difficult to understand why the King Qi is so obsessed with Ryukyu, because from his understanding, officials of the country of Da Yu don't seem to have much affection for Ryukyu.

Even when he first dealt with King Chu, King Chu acquiesced in the fact that they occupied Ryukyu, but now King Qi has changed everything.

"Fifteen Galen battleships?"

Claire recalled the fleet belonging to King Qi, and now he was most puzzled by why the King Qi had both the flintlock and the Galen ship, a standard European warship.

He had been thinking about this question after returning from Dengzhou, but no one could give him the answer.

Matchlock guns can be explained, but he still can't figure out flintlock guns and battleships, because with the industrial capabilities of the country, even if they master the flintlock gun technology, it is impossible to make flintlock guns and battleships so easily.

Especially the cast-iron guns on the city walls. This kind of cast-iron guns has become the mainstream of naval guns in Europe for more than 30 years, but even so, the blasting rate of this kind of naval guns is higher than that of bronze guns.

The quality of the cast iron guns purchased by the king of Chu from Qingzhou was very good. According to the king of Chu, these guns had blasting accidents, but each explosion did not cause much damage, and the accident rate was very low, which was enough. Explain the excellent quality of this cast iron gun.

Thinking of this, Claire became more and more disturbed. If this King Qi had such a strong industrial ability, then he had to consider this matter carefully.

After all, fighting against such a powerful vassal in the waters near Dayu State would be a disaster and even lead to their permanent withdrawal from East Asian trade.

So he didn't consider Rod's suggestion at the beginning. If the British were involved, it would only anger the King of Qi, and the British had long coveted the East Asian route. At this time, it was tantamount to drawing a wolf into the room.

After hesitating for a long time, Claire was ready to take a more prudent approach. He was going to let Rod go on an envoy again, but this time he wanted Rod to go to Qingzhou, the capital of the Qi Kingdom.

If it is confirmed that the Qi King is really as powerful as he imagined, he will have to carefully consider the Qi King's suggestion, so that at least they can keep their trade in East Asia, which is better than losing everything.

In his opinion, Rhodes has stayed in Ryukyu for too long. He has no understanding of the current situation in Europe. Today, the Netherlands is getting weaker and weaker and unable to compete with European powers for trade routes.

Therefore, East Asian trade is very important to the Dutch.

With a sigh, Claire looked towards the bay. At this time, his fleet was docked in a crescent-like dock. Many Dutch merchant ships docked here. It was through this place that they brought East Asian goods back to China.

As the sunset faded away, Claire finally made up his mind. The Great Yu Kingdom was completely different from the Americas and Africa they conquered. It was a civilization similar to them, instead of staying in a primitive tribal state.

The operation of such a national war machine would be terrible.

...

Qingzhou.

Xiao Ming's days suddenly became idle. In the past two days, he was either in the Wangfu and Fei Yue'er underwear design problems or went to Bowen College to supervise the students' learning.

Now that the overall situation is temporarily stable, he wants to take advantage of this stable thing to cultivate more talents, just relying on Lin Wentao and Lu Tong is not enough.

His goal is to make Bowen Academy's technology blossom everywhere.

"His Royal Highness, the style of this underwear is basically determined now. The female workers in the textile workshop are producing underwear, but how should this underwear be promoted now?"

In the dormitory, Fei Yueer supported her arm on the table, where she was unfamiliar with her life and didn't know where to start.

Xiao Ming actually had an idea in his mind for a long time. In Qingzhou, there are not too many powerful and famous ladies, so he can only find an authority figure from outside.

So he said to Fei Yueer: "In fact, if you want to promote underwear, there is someone who is suitable?"

Fei Yue'er suddenly said eagerly: "Who is it?"

"Princess Pingyang." Xiao Ming said lightly. Princess Pingyang has always been known for her bold style, and things like this bra are likely to interest the princess.

After all, Princess Pingyang is the fashion vane of the country, and this underwear is not only used to cover shame, but also has a very important role to make women more attractive.

Fei Yue'er suddenly understood, but the excitement just raised her brows and disappeared. She said decadently: "It's just that the princess is respected by her position. Now she is in Chang'an again. Will she come over?"

"It's not necessarily true. Last time she went to this king's fief specifically for the sake of glass. Now you write a letter in the name of Princess Qi, maybe she will come." Xiao Ming's eyes rolled, "Then you will turn again. Describe the current changes in Qingzhou. Given my aunt’s temperament, I can’t say it will come."

Fei Yue'er bit her lip. She was timid, but thinking that she could help Xiao Ming, she nodded and said, "The concubine will write a letter to the Princess Palace."

After all, Fei Yueer asked Xiaohuan to get paper and pen to write.

Xiao Ming sat on one side to supervise, and when Fei Yue'er wrote ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, a line of beautiful small characters appeared on the paper, very neat and beautiful, and Xiao Ming was embarrassed when he looked at these calligraphic writings.

Compared with Fei Yue'er's calligraphy, his handwriting is almost as shabby as Earthworm Seeking Mother.

After writing the letter, Fei Yue'er handed the letter to Xiaohuan and asked her to deliver the letter to the post to Chang'an. Then she seemed to remember something and said: "Your Highness, this underwear is manufactured, but it is the dyeing workshop in Qingzhou. There are very few, and they can only dye a single color. The concubine thinks that the books given by His Royal Highness have some dyeing skills for the dyeing workshop to learn."

Weaving and dyeing cloth are not divided into families. Although Xiao Ming is at leisure, he has been thinking about improving the quality of Qingzhou clothes so that he can quickly occupy the market.

In this way, in addition to the unexpected needs of the textile process, the dyeing workshop is needed. Only the fabrics that can be dyed with conflicting colors can sew exquisite clothes.

This dyeing workshop is also the industry that Xiao Ming intends to improve, so he said: "The princess and the king really have a clear understanding of each other. The textile workshop in Qingzhou is still left by the former Sun family. Now it is time to improve the dyeing process. ."

Seeing Xiao Ming's playful words, Fei Yue'er smiled lightly.
