Outside the window, merchant ships on Lin'an Pier came and went.

Cao Kun's expression showed a hint of cunning. He seemed to be unintentionally asked: "The Dutch Parliament is so generous. I don't know what price Queen Vitomia would be willing to exchange it."

Manster always kept a polite smile and said, "If you can devote the manufacturing technology of steam locomotives, steam boats, muskets, and artillery from Dayu Kingdom to association, at least I can guarantee that you will also have the status of an earl in the UK."

Cao Kun shook his head helplessly. It was obvious that Manster knew enough about Qingzhou's technological development. After all, whether it was a steam locomotive or a steam boat, these things were on the surface.

But the real difficulty is understanding how Qingzhou implements these things.

"This is very difficult." Cao Kun said in a deep voice: "The confidentiality of these technologies has always been very strict. The only thing we can expect is that the students we have installed at Qingzhou University can bring these technologies back, but it takes time."

Manster nodded slightly, "I just hope this time will not be too long. You understand that the patience of association is limited, and you must remember that without our help, your Cao family would not have the glory of today. Since you have joined the association, you will always be a member of association for our common goal."

"Yes, Mr. Manster, I will do my best to serve the association, and God bless us." Cao Kun's expression suddenly became a little fanatical. He stretched out his right hand, his index finger and little fingers upwards, and the other fingers touched each other and placed them on his chest.

Manster responded with the same gesture.

After a brief conversation, Cao Kun left the room. At this time, Manster turned around and looked at the dock outside the window.

When the Dutch transported the single-cylinder reciprocating steam engine back to China, the whole of Europe was shocked, especially when the development of the steam engine in the United Kingdom, this shock was beyond words.

It was at this time that he was sent by the Queen of England to collect intelligence as a merchant in the Great Yu Kingdom.

But what Queen Vidomia didn't know was that he was also a member of the association, so after arriving in the Great Yu Kingdom, he immediately contacted Cao Kun, who was also a member of the association.

This merchant from Dayu Kingdom engaged in maritime trade when he was very young and was selected by association at that time, so he quickly rose to become the richest businessman in Dayu Kingdom.

No, he could not have done this when Britain ruled the ocean, and at that time, such a person was needed to establish a foothold in the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

Of course, in addition to Cao Kun, there are also some aristocratic members of the Dayu Kingdom association. It is a pity that many of these people were killed during the process of the Dayu Emperor's cleansing of the country.

"How many secrets does this Great Chongqing country have? I hope the situation is not too bad." Manster was a little worried.

Europeans who attach great importance to technology know very well that once the Great Chongqing Kingdom masters more advanced technology than Europe, the history of their colonization will end.

They even keep losing their colonies in the competition with the Great Chongqing Kingdom. Because of this, European countries are now trying to understand the Great Chongqing Kingdom and get technology that surprises them from here.

At the same time, because of a sense of crisis, the European royal family once again increased their investment in technology, and they were unwilling to be left behind by the Great Yu Kingdom.

Turning around, Mister picked up a musket from the box beside the bed. This musket was the flintlock rifle of the Great Yu Kingdom.

During the war between the Great Yu Kingdom and the Jin Horde, the weapons of some dead Great Yu Kingdom soldiers were picked up by barbarian soldiers, and these weapons were circulated among the barbarians.

Because of chaos and hunger, merchants easily obtained this firearm from these barbarian soldiers. After seeing this forging method that was more advanced than the European flintlock, Manster was so excited that he never slept overnight.

Since then, he has stepped up his understanding of the science and technology of the Great Yu Kingdom, but the most important thing for him is the students who have mastered scientific and technological knowledge of the Great Yu Kingdom.

As long as you can get a talented student, it will be extremely beneficial for both association and the UK.

Don’t European countries now try to steal technology from the UK like this?

...

Qingzhou.

Huang Zixu, who was sitting in the four-wheeled carriage, was still a little confused. Their group had just arrived at Qingzhou Wharf from Hai Gucheng.

When they got off the boat, the busy dock shocked him. If the official in charge of the reception explained that this was a dock, he would have always thought that this was a market.

But this shock has just begun. The flat cement road extending outside the dock, and four-wheeled carriages with spring-absorbing shock.

Hot air balloons floating in the sky from time to time, harvesters and seeds pulled by horsepower in the fields, and people from the Great Chongqing country who came and went on the official roads and were dressed in brightly.

After entering the city, Huang Zixu and Prince Jin Changming were even more dazzled, wishing he could see all the scenes of Qingzhou City with four pairs of eyes.

"It's really a place of flowers." Huang Zixu sighed deeply. Now he finally understood the gap between Goryeo and Dayu Kingdom.

Compared with Qingzhou, Liujingcheng is just equivalent to a rural area.

Sitting opposite Huang Zixiu were officials from the Dayu Foreign Affairs Office, and there was no need for senior officials to receive missions from Goryeo.

The Foreign Affairs Office just sent him, the interpreter, to come forward and arranged Huang Zixu and his party to an ordinary restaurant in Qingzhou.

According to the Foreign Affairs Office, the Wei Family Restaurant will no longer receive foreign missions in the future, after all, it cannot make money for the sake of face.

If a foreign mission wants to enjoy the convenience and comfort of the Weijia Restaurant, you can pay your own money.

The carriage stopped in front of Jinxiu Restaurant, and the interpreter took Huang Zixiu and his group into the restaurant. The people from the Goryeo delegation were sighing along the way.

In their opinion, the reception of the Great Yu Kingdom to them was extremely grand, because this restaurant is more exquisite and gorgeous than any restaurant in Liujingcheng.

After entering the room, they were even more surprised and couldn't stop. The glass windows on all sides, ceramic toiletries and faucets all made Huang Zixu and the Prince of Goryeo sincerely satisfied.

"Thanks to the Emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom for his kindness, this must be the best restaurant in Qingzhou." Before Huang Zixu could speak, Goryeo Crown Prince Jin Changming said with a smile.

He thought there was no difference between Qingzhou and Liujingcheng, but now everything was beyond his expectations.

The translator smiled helplessly. In fact, when the business of the Wei family restaurant was booming, all the restaurants in Qingzhou transformed their own restaurants in the form of the Wei family restaurants.

Because businessmen are now raised by Weijia Restaurant, they are unwilling to live without a series of facilities. The only difference is that the quality of ceramic supplies in the room is different.
