Chapter 1141 Hiring Workers and Building Factories
"Munch is an excellent military talent. What is even more commendable is that he has helped the Netherlands fight independently for the past ten years, and has accumulated rich combat experience in fighting the Spanish. The United Provinces of the Netherlands The independence of the Spanish Empire is naturally a good thing for us in Britain, and it can weaken the influence of the Habsburg dynasty."
After Charles I's grand banquet was over, Li Jinde had a private tea with Sir Greenville to discuss the situation in London.Sir Greenville is a member of the Devon County Councilor and once served as an officer in organizing the expedition to Spain. It can be said that he is well aware of the situation here, and Li Jinde has obtained a lot of information from him.
"However, we helped the Netherlands resist the Spanish Empire, and the Netherlands became stronger and stronger. They competed for our fishing grounds in the North Sea and tried to monopolize overseas trade. When they defeated the Spaniards, they became our enemies. This It is the check and balance of the European continent, and no country will allow an empire whose strength far surpasses itself to emerge here." Sir Greenville put down his teacup.
"I heard your conversation with Monk. Monk seems to be your relative. What is his relationship with Selina?" Li Jinde asked.
"He is the son of my wife's sister. He was under my command during the expedition to Spain. Although the expedition failed quickly, he went to the Netherlands to help the Netherlands deal with the Spanish crusade. Until now Return to the City of London," said Sir Greenville.
"Isn't the mother-in-law also a noble family?" Li Jinde deeply felt the complicated marriage relationship among the British nobles.
"You should know that I am a Devonshire squire and also own land in Cornwall. And my wife Grace's father, Smith, was Mayor and MP for Exeter, the Devonshire seat, Devonshire The richest aristocrat in the county, he owned 25 large manors in Devonshire. However, he passed away more than ten years ago. As the youngest daughter, Grace inherited 7 of the large manors and still owns many in Devonshire. Little influence. She moved back to her estate after she separated from me..."
"Originally, I promised Monk to arrange his marriage with Selina to strengthen the influence of our two families in Devon, but you disrupted my arrangement. I just hope he won't hate me because of it." Green Sir Weir said.
"It turns out that there is such a complicated relationship behind it...that is, I need to go to Devon with you to meet my mother-in-law?" Li Jinde patiently listened to the complicated relationship between the British Devon nobles.
He wasn't worried that Monk would have any thoughts about Selina. Selina and him had already cooked rice, and she was still tens of thousands of miles away in Huaxia.
"Yes, Devonshire and Cornwall are the two most southwestern counties, and I have manors in both counties. After your business is over, I will take you to Devonshire To Grace. I hope she will forgive me for seeing the pictures of her daughter and granddaughter," Sir Greenville said.
"I will finish the work at hand as soon as possible and visit my mother-in-law." Li Jinde said guiltily.
Sir Greenville and Grace lived in different places, and the instigator was Li Jinde.
The western trading company led by Li Jinde quickly established a relationship with the nobles and merchant groups in the city of London under the help of Lord Greenville. 100% of the "Chinese goods" carried by the galleon became a commodity that was in short supply and sold quickly. open.
In order to continue dumping goods on the European market, the construction of factories on leased royal land outside the city of London began.
In order to build several factory buildings as soon as possible, Li Jinde and others recruited more than [-] carpenters, stonemasons and apprentices directly from the city of London, in addition to the carpenters and masons they brought over.
There was heavy snow falling over the city of London, and the weather was gloomy, but this did not stop many carpenters and stonemasons from applying for the job.Western trading companies promised them wages that exceeded the market price by [-]%.
"The structure of our textile factory should be like this, and the decoration of the eaves should have our Chinese style..." The native Chinese craftsman showed a simple factory structure diagram in front of the British craftsmen and stonemasons who came to apply for the job.
"There seems to be no problem with such a structure, and we can handle it, but the materials we can find locally may not allow you to freely build wooden houses according to your ideas. In my opinion, it is better to build a magnificent building like a church."
"There are also carvings with oriental colors. If we don't have samples, it is difficult for us to imitate the carvings, because none of us have touched these things before."
The British craftsmen and stonemasons who came to apply for the job saw the concept drawings of several workshops and expressed their opinions one by one.
The Chinese craftsmen who presided over the construction of the factory selected some British craftsmen who had polished stones, wood, and rich construction experience, and began to build factories on the land directly under the royal family that the Western Company leased from Charles I. The textile factory was the first to be built. important factory.Sugar refineries and smelters are slightly lower in the order than textile mills.
During the construction of the factory, directors of Western companies such as Li Jinde were selling the Chinese goods they brought, recruiting textile workers, and buying coal. For a while, the arrival of the Chinese people became a topic of intense discussion among the people in the streets and alleys of London.
It's the cold winter, and only the temptation of money can make the workers build new factories in full swing.
A large amount of high-quality wood and high-quality stone were bought by arriving Chinese merchants, transported to the land leased to them by Charles I through carriages and ships, and then established Chinese-style factories under the command of Chinese craftsmen.Because Li Jinde and the others brought the steam engine from the mainland, the textile factory they established basically relied on steam power, so a large number of coal mines were transported from the coal mining areas of Britain.
The attitude of the Chinese businessmen to spend a lot of money amazed the businessmen, citizens and residents of the city of London.
Li Jinde and the others even proposed to Charles I that they want to buy the mining rights of certain mines!
However, Charles I is not a character who is easy to be fooled. He vaguely felt that it was a terrible thing to be controlled by Chinese merchants from the collection of raw materials to the production of finished products, so he violated the trade agreement signed with Chu Yun. Li Jinde and the others declined their request to purchase coal mining rights on the grounds of protection clauses.
Because in the Ming Dynasty, a large amount of Japanese silver mines and Spanish silver dollars flowed into China, and China’s silver reserves were terrible. After Chu Yun came to power, the speed of silver inflow accelerated. What Charles I feared most in the trade treaty was that Chinese merchants bought in large quantities. The industry here will bankrupt British merchants and craftsmen, which will endanger his rule.
