Yang Qing finally returned to Nandu at the end of the year with the agreement between Guangzhou labor and management.

The Queen is the guarantor.

If either party has defaulted, the other party can complain to the Queen.

And the content of this agreement was also made public in the newspapers and caused a shock, the workers began to gain their own rights, and the emerging capitalists, finally from the fanatical barbaric growth of the previous, began to seriously face the reality of the workers' awakening.After all, they do not want to be like the capitalists in Guangzhou, whose death figures and property losses are not fake, and although Yang Qing is actually biased in favor of workers in this matter, but millions of workers who sweep Guangzhou are not led by him.

“Where there is oppression, there is resistance!”

In the warm room of the palace garden, in the heating baking, Yang Qing held up a glass of wine and looked at the winter sky outside.

“It’s the same with Lee.

When the exploitation of the local lords and squires made the peasants intolerable, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were born, not because they were born as thieves, but the oppression made them have to choose to resist.

The same goes for workers.

When the factory owners' oppression makes them unbearable, they must also choose to resist, no one is generally slaughtered by pigs and sheep, that is, pigs and sheep are in a hurry and bite!So we must have a bottom line in dealing with workers, and be able to make them eat, dress up, and not be tired early.After all, what we want is for them to be able to create wealth for us, we are not to create enemies, it is really difficult to shoot two scattered for no one, Guangzhou those workers hanged by the factory owners is the precedent."

He then said.

"But then, our factory costs are getting higher and higher, after all, we are not without competitors."The Dutch have already started making sugar in Java, and we have to face Indian soil cloth as well.Our cotton is low in cost, and even if Indian cotton is shipped here and then shipped back to us, the price is still lower than the price of the fabric they knit.But when our workers’ costs rise significantly, it will be difficult to be cheaper than India’s cloth, so that the British will turn to India for purchases, and our factories will be in trouble.Although our exports are not just cotton, but now cotton is the most promising, almost the first choice for new factories is cotton.”

Shen Tingyang said.

What he said is also true.

Before the invention of new machines such as Jenny machines, the United Kingdom has been facing the impact of Indian cloth, until the shuttle Jenny machine mule these advanced textile machinery gradually applied, the British talent reversed the situation.

Then the time of the steam engine became completely dumping them into India.

Daming is also copying the British route.

At present, Daming cotton cloth can only rely on the water force textile and Jenny machine these pre-steam era machines, so that the steam era of the British to do, mainly in fact, the distance is closer, in addition to the merchant ship to bring back Indian cotton is a tax subsidy.This has not yet been expected to spread the steam engine, has formed the import of Indian cotton and then large-scale cotton exports of cotton cloth situation, but this situation is very fragile, once the cost of workers increased significantly will inevitably collapse.

That's really trouble.

You should know that at present, the big Ming private is almost mainly based on cotton spinning.

Of course...

“The steam opportunity shows you that in the face of the advancing mechanical civilization, any agricultural civilization is a car, and the advent of the era of large-scale industry can only be crushed by the small-scale peasant economy.”

Yang Qing said unconcernedly.

“As for the sugar industry on the island of Java...”

He looked at the little sister-in-law who was playing in front of him and said, "Brother Wu Mei, you seem to have forgotten that we still have cannons."

"Well, I didn't think about it."

Shen Tingyang said with a smile.

Indeed, he did not expect that there was actually such an option, the Dutch people in Java Island large-scale cultivation of sugar cane will indeed affect the big Ming sugar industry, after all, they can use the natives as slaves, but the sugar industry in Daming can no longer do so.Then with the cheap cost, the shipping fleet, the Dutch will gradually seize the market that originally belonged to Daming, especially in the southern countries, and even one day will dump sugar to Daming.

After all, they can be cheaper.

However, ...

What if it works with a cannon?

Go straight to ruin the Dutch sugar cane garden and they still play a bullshit!

This is not only sugar, all other industries can be so, any business threat, nothing more than to take the cannon to destroy, Daming has the world's most powerful army, if the normal means can not solve the commercial competition, then why use extraordinary means?

This is how I want to be relieved.

Protect the country is wise after all, to improve the treatment of workers to stabilize the internal, as long as the internal stability has no worries, the rest is nothing but to go out, there are competitors to beat a meal, there are not to do business with Daming also to beat a meal, there are high taxes on Daming businessmen to beat a meal.In short, the use of fleets and artillery to ensure that the overseas trade of Da Ming, to ensure that each country to the Ming open the door to the Ming, let the Ming industrial products sweep the market, dare to resist and beat, until they no longer resist.Then this stick deters the next Daming merchant ship, and constantly transporting factory products, all factories are constantly running, absorbing the continuous wealth of sources to maintain the prosperity of Daming.

This is the true path of the nation!

Shen Tingyang thus completely changed from a feudal gentry to an imperialist capitalist.

His eyes turned to the front...

"The eldest princess is the year of the cardamom, should you also consider the selection of a horse?"

He said to the father-in-law who was looking at his sister-in-law.

“Well, that depends on how the Queen thinks!”

Yang Qing said.

His sister-in-law is 13 years old, in accordance with the practice of Daming, next year has been able to consider looking for a mother-in-law, usually this age of the girl should have come to the door to ask for relatives, but Princess Zhao Ren has not yet paid attention.Not to say that ugly, although Princess Zhao Ren is indeed slightly inferior to her sister at present, but this is only a young age, has not really grown up, and the prospects for the 18th of the female university are bright.Not to say that temper, although these years have been accustomed to be too brute, with this lady a little distance, in addition to the luxury of life is sighing, but not to raise is not a problem, people have money, Princess Zhao Ren's luxury life can be spent all their own money.

The key is...

This is a little subtle!

Yang Qing is a foreign family, and the first emperor can have two daughters, then who married the eldest princess Zhaoren is not the same level as the protector of the country?

Who can be careful?

The two spoke to Princess Zhao Ren looked at them with a suspicious face, and then picked up her Chinese pastoral cat sitting in her hanging basket, surrounded by a group of merchants from all over the world, from the shortness of Europe to the Siamese cat inside the more than half the world around, and even a desert cat lying alone.

“Furthers, the task force has arrived!”

Zhang Shifeng walked over to Yang Qing and whispered.

"Go, meet our warriors who have returned from the voyage, Zhao Ren, and go to the dock to see what good things they have brought you back!"

Yang Qing stood up and said.

Down the port.

In the midst of the drums and cheers, the two looked dilapidated and stale, and even the sails were slowly coming with patched cruisers.

Countless soldiers on the deck stood in line, silently looking at the city in front of them and welcoming the crowd, on both sides of them, the guard of the Yangtze River Marine Division battleship constantly firing salutes.After more than a year of long voyages, Daming's first American task force, also the first circumnavigational fleet, finally returned to its departure point.

“There is one less!”

Yang Qing stood in front of the crowd and said with emotion.

It is true that this fleet was originally three, but now there are only two left, but this year's long voyage is like this.

A total of ten ships set sail from the lower gate docks, entered the black tide and headed north along the Japanese coast to Sendai, and then folded east on the black tide and moved forward, and in the middle of the two to Hawaii and then meet in San Francisco.Four of the first colonies in the Americas were left, six continued south along the coastline to visit ports on the west coast of South America, and potatoes and maize seeds were acquired in Peru or now the Spanish-Permanorate District.After another separation, the three sailed westward into the island of New Guinea in Peru, and now two were returned, and the other three continued south.

The three are early!

Because they had to go to Brazil, collect rubber and seeds at the mouth of the Amazon, and then head back to Europe to complete a great voyage around the world.

It is estimated that it will take at least two years to return.

This era of sailing around the world, three years can be said to be standard time, Magellan three years, Drake three years, the fastest Calvindish two years and one month, De Norte three years, Spieberg is also three years, since Magellan voyage around the world since this hundred years, except for Cavindish, the other circumnavigation of the world is three years.

Therefore, Yang Qing's circumnavigation fleet is estimated to be almost three years.

Even the two ships in front of them sailed a full 40,000 kilometers in less than 500 days, but fortunately there was still a black tide, and I have to say that this black tide was just too useful.A sea highway of nearly two hundred kilometers a day and night, pushing even a ship without any power can drift from Japan to the Americas in two months.From the coast of the Americas to the south and south of the California cold current, although the speed is slow, it is always stronger than the fact that in Peru folds into New Guinea and the southeastern wind of the southern equatorial warm currents and the south-south side.That is, the voyage from the east coast of New Guinea to the north, it is necessary to pass through the 500-kilometer equatorial countercurrent area to re-access the black tide, but after entering the black tide, it is like a highway to Taiwan.

“Look what good things they’ve brought back!”

Yang Qing said.

Then he stepped forward in person, next to his little sister-in-law, who was caught by him, and followed with a plate full of wine glasses with the same face.

A cruiser landed in front of them.

Yang Qing's plague messenger, Han Tao, the captain of the cruiser of the Daming Navy's Beiyang Marine Division, took the sailors with fear and went down the gangway, and he did not know that he had slaughtered more than 400,000 people.His gift to the Hawaiians caused a devastating plague in an archipelago that had been closed for countless years, and less than one-tenth of the entire Hawaiian islands survived.And not only Hawaii, the islands he passed through the Pacific Ocean were more or less plague, and he spread death like a plague god.Perhaps there were too many souls on his back, and the Muying he was riding on the mountain in the Solomon Sea touched the reef, although the sailors did not die, but the keel had to be set on fire.

“Warriors, welcome home!”

The Protector said.

“Warriors, welcome home!”

...

There was a scream behind him.

All the soldiers and civilians who were greeted together to salute the warriors who had returned from the voyage, and Han Tao and the sailors watched the scene somewhat uneasily.

Immediately, Yang Qing picked up a glass of wine.

But Han Tao did not take over, and he looked at the glass of wine that was hand-held from the tray held by Princess Zhaoren, and the wine that the protectors had personally sent to him.In fact, when they left, His Majesty the Queen had not yet ascended the throne, and they were in Taiwan to judge Long Xingzi, the Queen's enthronement, and Chu Gong's news of the protectorate.

Suddenly he turned, separated the standing soldiers behind him, rushed to the ship and disappeared into the cabin as fast as he could, and before Yang Qing and the welcoming soldiers and civilians reacted, he ran out again with a sack, and in the stunned eyes of everyone, he threw the sack on the ground at once...

“Bird shit!”

He said with excitement: "A small island twice the size of Meizizhou is full of guano, we dug five feet deep and did not bottom out!"

There was an immediate scream behind Yang Qing’s back.

This guy passed through Nauru.

Those welcoming soldiers and civilians have come forward, even with the glass of Yang Qing no one cares, said that bird droppings have been applied for many years, this thing has caused the whole of Jiangsu and Zhejiang crazy pursuit.The fact that each acre has increased production by at least one-third, so that people who are still farmers regard bird droppings as a gift from God, but after these years of mining, bird droppings on the East Sea have become less and less.Fortunately, the protection of the government has developed bird manure on the South China Sea, but even the thickness of the bird manure layer in the Xisha Islands is less than a drop, and even the half-thick bird manure layer is good.

Five feet out there?

How much bird shit is that!

“First, drink the wine!”

In the confusion, Yang Qing handed the glass over and said.

Han Tao subconsciously took a drink.

Then he looked at the next plate of the plate of the princess slightly, obviously did not recognize it at first was the eldest princess, and then he suddenly turned and pushed away the people and ran back to the boat again, waiting for him to reappear, holding a large bird cage in his hand...

The princess immediately gave a scream.

“The Phoenix!”

The same screams in the crowd.

In the bird cage held by Han Tao, it is a colorful thing that is not a human thing, and dragging a long tail feather, except for a small dot and other birds that are almost no different from the legendary phoenix, it is like a dream in the sun...
