Chapter 733

Golden sunlight poured into the imperial study, bringing a trace of warmth.

Pang Yukun pondered for a while and said, "in this case, the steam engine can't be given to the Dutch, but it's a pity. 500000 taels of silver is not a small amount."

"Don't worry. We can't sell it now. Maybe we can sell it in a few years. Lin Wentao has been improving the steam engine. After the replacement of the steam engine in Dayu, we can sell it to them no later." Xiao Ming said with a faint smile.

Brandon's eagerness to buy steam engines has given him a preliminary assessment of the level of Western steam engines. At least it shows that the steam engines in Dayu are more advanced than those of the British.

”The emperor said that if so, I will go back and send him away, otherwise I don't know how long Brandon will stay in Qingzhou. "Pang Yu Kun frowned.

According to Brandon's plan, he should have left Qingzhou long ago to return to the city of reranzhe, but now he obviously regards Qingzhou as a treasure land and is interested in looking for treasure in Qingzhou.

Referring to the steam engine, Xiao Ming thought of the last auction and said, "by the way, the last auction didn't add a lot of money to the Treasury. "

" it's 18 million taels of silver. " After hearing the words, Pang Yukun showed the look of the miser when he saw the treasure.

Xiao Ming nodded. No wonder Pang Yukun wavered in Brandon's suggestion. The steam engine is a cash cow.

"In this case, the government now has the money to pave the concrete road and improve the cultivated land." Xiao Ming said that the state of Dayu is now in a state of waste and needs a lot of money to resume production. In addition to the construction of Royal workshops, the places where money is used are everywhere.

However, he let Pang Yukun spend a lot of money in order to stimulate domestic demand and promote the circulation of silver in Dayu, so as to revitalize the business of Dayu.

After all, the people need money to buy things, and their money is generally only obtained by selling grain and coolie.

With the rapid development of infrastructure construction, people can make money by relying on coolies. With money, they can buy industrial products. The best-selling of industrial products can promote the development of industry, and the development of industry and commerce can provide more taxes for Chongqing. This is a virtuous circle.

Because of this, Xiao Ming would let Pang Yukun spend the money of the state treasury.

"The emperor, the lower officials and the elder Feige have worked out the amount of money needed for each state. If the money goes on, the roads, schools and government workshops of each state will be established." Pang Yukun bowed down and said that he had read a lot of government affairs books in Bowen college, and now Pang Yukun has been able to understand the causal relationship.

”That's good. Now that the barbarians are ready to move, we don't have much time left. Once the barbarians wake up and abandon Korea and directly attack the state of Dayu, it will be a fierce battle. "

After a pause, he continued: "in addition, you can leave another 1 million taels of silver for Lin Wentao and Lu Tong, so that they can have enough money to study the craft. "

" yes, the emperor. " Pang Yukun's answer is very simple. Before, he didn't understand the role of these crafts. Now these crafts have brought such great changes to the state of Dayu, he has no reason to object.

in fact, it's not only him, but now more and more officials begin to pay attention to the development of industry and commerce.

Of course, it has a lot to do with Xiao Ming that officials can think so. It's just the so-called "one emperor and one courtier". When Xiao Ming attaches so much importance to these things, the ministers naturally fall into his favor.

When Pang Yukun decided on these two things, Brandon still depended on his official office and refused to leave.

Back at the yamen, Brandon came up eagerly and said, "Dear Pang Shoufu, what does your majesty say? Can we take a steam engine back? "

Brandon said, and rod translated it.

After shaking his head, Pang Yukun said, "the emperor ordered me not to sell the steam engine to you, because this is the highest secret of our country. Ambassador Brandon, you'd better go back."

Brandon showed a reluctant expression, he said: "Pang Shoufu, now this steam engine is sold by you to the businessmen of Dayu country, how can it be a secret? Since we can't buy steam engines from the government, can we buy them from other businessmen? "

" this is no good. Every steam engine sold in Dayu is registered. No businessman can take the steam engine out of Dayu. Otherwise, the government will severely punish the two sides who sell the steam engine. I hope that Ambassador Brandon will not disobey the order of the emperor, or I will have to drive you out of Dayu. "Pang Yukun said.

Brandon still refused to give up. He showed his hand. "Pang Shoufu, Dayu and the Dutch are not enemies. I think we have many places to cooperate. "

in the face of Brandon's beating, Pang Yukun shook his head and went out with an excuse.

"What now, count?"

Pang Yukun lost his shadow, and Brandon and his party could only stare small and big.

Looking at rod, Brandon was no longer arrogant when he just came to Qingzhou. He said angrily, "what can we do now? Obviously, the people of Dayu have never believed us, just like we did to them."Lord Rhode said, "count, I mean the steam engine of Dayu is not important. Who gave them the steam engine technology is important. In short, I don't believe that a backward indigenous country will have such superb technology in such a short period of time. "

" you don't believe it, and I certainly don't believe it, but now the fact is in front of us, the emperor of the state of Chongqing is really not a simple role. "Said Brandon.

"Yes, according to our information, when the emperor was the king of Qi, he once explained the source of these technologies. He said that they came from a missionary, but a missionary can't use the crafts that we don't have in Europe, so I always doubt that all these technologies came from the emperor, but the emperor was superior, and no one dared to ask him about them. "Said rod.

Brandon nodded slowly. "Yes, it's a pity that he is the emperor of Dayu. He doesn't want to say it. No one can force him to say it. "

with a sigh, he added," but in this way, we have to maintain the current good relationship with Dayu. When we get back to the Netherlands, I will tell the Congress in detail about this matter, so that the Congress can finally decide how to communicate with Dayu. In addition, during your stay in Qingzhou, you should learn as much as possible about all kinds of technologies in Qingzhou, even if you can get the same technology, you can also let us in Europe I'm rich. "

Brandon's craze makes other people equally excited. They come all the way here to get rich overnight?

At this time, they suddenly realized that in addition to porcelain, they had another way to make money.
