During such negotiations, the music of "jingle jingle" sounded, and the first Bolognese dance began.
For girls attending high-class social activities, the dresses at the ball are usually bright colors and decorated with light streamers. Girls like Anna wear a small pearl necklace. Only married wives can wear expensive jewelry and black clothes.
Zhang Yuan is not interested in dancing, even though this kind of dance is full of extravagance like human instinct.
The upper class here is extremely open. As long as they are not married, they are very tolerant of all kinds of affairs. His dead father doesn't know how many sneaky lovers have even become the talk capital of women's boudoir, and he is proud of it
Every world has its own temptation. In this strange and dark world, only a few people can live a rich life. Some people can sell their children for one bite; Some people are working hard in the dark mine; There are so few people singing and dancing in the room.
In particular, birth has been destined to be a member of Yingge and Yanwu, or completely join them. Or, change.
But it becomes extremely difficult to change anything. The cake in the whole world is only so big. How can it be evenly distributed?
Can it be changed by copying Marx's principles into the world?
No.
Zhang Yuan shook his head gently.
Compared with the problems of small habitable territory, poor productivity, backward science and technology, lack of food, high illiteracy rate and slavery, deep-rooted capitalism is nothing.
The first dance was the grand Bolognese dance, which was performed by all the invitees, even after sitting at the card table all night gambling.
The dance is slow and the movements are not complicated. Then, a large number of old gamblers gathered together to gamble happily. There are a large number of nobles who are down because of gambling. This is also very good. Some people are down, and someone can be promoted.
The second dance, often cadril.
The third scene is a warm waltz, which is the performance of men and women who are good at dancing.
Finally, the cotillon dance, which provides many opportunities to catch up with your sweetheart, talk about love and confession, is everyone's favorite dance.
Zhang Yuan casually ate some cakes and thought, recalling a poem yevgeni Onegin he had read.
[in the past, I was full of desire and laughter. I loved the ball and was crazy. You can slip a note secretly. There is no better place to talk about love. Dear married man! Would you like to accept my hospitality?]
There were really many girls who handed him some notes, and some married men were watching him secretly.
Zhang Yuan didn't have the habit of wearing a green hat for other men. He was also afraid that his sister would run out and mess with each other in this environment. He just took Anna around and around until she was about to faint on the ground.
"Young count, you should choose a suitable partner instead of binding your sister here... She has grown up and has her own ideas." The gray haired Duke joked.
He likes to see young people full of vitality, and may even find the next love affair here.
"Duke, I have a business to talk to you." Zhang Yuan turned his head and looked at each other's old face: "do you have a spare fleet?"
"You mean..." the old man's eyes twinkled and regained his solemnity in front of this big business.
In this world, a single city can't feed itself. Each city has its own specialty.
Stonehenge produced coal and steel, so it was the center of the whole empire; Further west, cities in the twilight zone produce fruits, vegetables, and grain; Other places are rich in all kinds of fish, spices, gemstones, wine and so on.
What connects these cities is navigation.
Most of the nobles had the business of sailing trade. Without its own trade network, it will soon decline in the fierce competition.
Zhang Yuan's "father" died in the shipwreck a year ago, and the whole fleet was buried at the bottom of the sea. Although the inside information of the whole family is still there, it must reshape its own trade network.
The old man quickly straightened out his ideas. They had no direct competitive relationship with Zhang Yuan's family. It was no problem to help them. And he also appreciates the motivation of young people to go out and be willing to make such investment.
"Of course, if you rent a fleet, you must pay collateral and rent. It's not free."
"This is no problem." Zhang Yuan replied, "I still have some shares in candy factories and steel factories that can be mortgaged to you. As for the rest of the property, I want to leave it to my sister. If I unfortunately encounter a shipwreck, I hope you can look after my father, take care of her and pass on the title to her children. "
The two kept talking about the end of the dance, and then signed a relevant agreement.
In fact, relying on his own steam machinery design drawings, Zhang Yuan can open a machining factory and live a prosperous life. In other words, with the existing contacts and resources, we can do some financial industry. The capitalism of the whole society has just developed to the initial stage. There are too many opportunities. There is no need to go sailing by ourselves.
Zhang Yuan just wants to know more about the whole world.
As for these drawings, he is going to find an opportunity to throw them directly to his sister and let her handle them. After having no worries, do what you want to do. It doesn't matter how much money Zhang Yuan can make.
Two months will soon pass
A large ship with a displacement of 4000 tons has stayed in the port. Although it is not a real fleet, at least it can carry out normal trade.
Anna grabbed her skirt and watched Zhang Yuan leave with a reluctant face. After two months of friendly coexistence, she has become a loyal fan of Zhang Yuan. In two months, Zhang Yuan handled all kinds of troubles in the original factory, including interpersonal relationships, very well. The little pimple in her heart had long disappeared and disconnected from her original bad friends.
She finally understood why her father suddenly changed his mind and was willing to pass the title to his sick brother
It's just the difference in IQ!
"Don't die!" Anna shouted when she saw them coming out of the room door.
Zhang Yuan laughed and waved, "no!"
