Chapter 640 The Planter's Happy Time (First update, please subscribe)
What did a 19th century submarine look like?
It looks like the submarine in the old movies, except that it is smaller and the cabin is more cramped.There is not even a toilet in the submarine. After all, at the level of the 19th century, there is no toilet that can be excreted under the sea, so it can only be simple-submarines can only solve the problem on the deck. I can only hold back, it’s not possible to use cans and other things, but fortunately, even the 002 boat with hundreds of batteries can only sail on the bottom of the sea for a few hours.

There was a choking smell of gasoline in the cabin. Being in it, Emperor Zhu finally understood why the food expenses of the submarine soldiers in the navy were the highest. ... It's not easy!

"Liu Qing, in the future, the meals of the submarine soldiers will be increased by 20%, and the sea allowance will also be increased by 20% accordingly. The environment in the submarine is poor, and it is not easy for the officers and soldiers to fight."

In this way, Emperor Zhu emphasized the improvement of the submarine force while visiting in the narrow cabin. In the end, he even asked Liu Tiansheng to drive the submarine to the sea. In the semi-submerged state of the submarine, Zhu Da The emperor stood on the bridge, just like the most powerful three fat, holding a telescope to observe the sea, it seems that at this moment, he saw British warships and merchant ships under the attack of Ming's wolves, constantly sinking into the sea.

Just as Emperor Zhu put down the binoculars, Liu Tiansheng, who was standing beside him, said.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the ironclad warships purchased by Brazil from England will sail back to Brazil in the near future. Since we want to shoot them down halfway, they are sunk anyway, so they are probably just missing."

Missing!

In this age without radio—the age of foreign countries without radio, the ship sailing the seas is gone if it disappears, so it disappears.Just like the Japanese armored cruiser Mu Pong, it disappeared in the South China Sea on December 1886, 12 on its way back to Japan.

Sinking...that is, missing!

Seems like a good suggestion too!
Liu Tiansheng's suggestion made Emperor Zhu think for a while, and then said.

"We don't need it yet. Even if we are sunk, the British insurance company will lose money, and then they will build a new ship. The new ship must be more advanced than the old ship."

Shaking his head, he handed the telescope to Liu Tiansheng. Zhu Xianhai naturally thought of Daming's neighbor. In the past few years, Brazil has been winning. Armored vehicles, whether it is an airship or an armored vehicle, are inseparable from rubber. The price of rubber has risen several times one after another. Although Daming's plantation has also made a lot of money from it, it cannot compare to the use of slaves to mine rubber in the Baben Rainforest.The wealth brought by rubber allowed the Brazilian government to have sufficient funds to strengthen its military.

As a response to the two "Friendship-class iron-clad ships" owned by Ming Dynasty, Brazil purchased two [-]-ton iron-clad ships from the United Kingdom. Part of the arms race between Brazil and Ming Dynasty.

Brazil!

In the past few years, Brazil has made a fortune by exporting rubber, and its armaments are almost strengthened. It is time to bring down the price of rubber!

Emperor Zhu sneered. After ten years of development, it was almost time for large-scale rubber harvesting in Daming's rubber plantations in Congo and Guinea.

For such a neighbor who has prospered by exporting agricultural products such as rubber, Emperor Zhu didn't care at all. A country that even needs to import rifles is a threat.

Moreover, it is a slave country - the harvesting of rainforest rubber even strengthens slavery in Brazil, after all, harvesting rubber trees in the rainforest requires a lot of labor.

But that's good too, when you need it in the future, you can send troops in the name of liberating black slaves.

Free the slaves and send them back home.Well, Daming will definitely still be standing on the moral high ground when the time comes.

This is the famous teacher.

……

The city of Madita on the banks of the Congo River is the seat of the Daming China-Africa Company. Although this colony belongs to the Ming Dynasty, it is occupied in the name of the company. After nearly ten years of development, this city by the river has become an African The most prosperous city on the west coast, thousands of Ming people live in this city, well, there are thousands of Japanese workers and tens of thousands of local natives in the city.

Most Ming people have plantations outside the city. This city is known as the "City of Palm Oil". It is full of oil palm plantations outside the city. The palm oil produced here is processed in local factories after primary processing. Or it is shipped to Europe for oil export, or it is shipped to Nanhua to be made into margarine, margarine, and chocolate and other commodities and exported to European and American countries, so that ordinary people in Europe and the United States can finally enjoy cheap butter, cream, and chocolate. I'm afraid it's man-made, and all of this is entirely due to Daming's advanced food technology.

Of course, people in Ming Dynasty still eat natural food. After all, Europeans like science, so let them enjoy the food science from the future.

This is also the biggest difference between Daming as a major exporter of agricultural and animal husbandry products - a considerable part of the exported agricultural products are modern industrial products, instead of just exporting agricultural primary products like Argentina in the past.

Among the many plantations here, there is a rather inconspicuous small plantation. At the gate of this plantation, there are two strong natives holding wooden sticks. If there are idlers approaching, they must directly hit the sticks. .

Of course, these idlers must refer to the local natives.

When a carriage approached in the distance, the natives quickly opened the door and let the carriage drive into the plantation only seeing the license plate number of the carriage.He really bent down and bowed actively when the carriage passed by.

This is the master's carriage.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the carriage stopped in front of a Chinese-style wooden building in the depths of the plantation. There were already a dozen maids standing in front of the wooden building. As soon as the car stopped, a black maid wearing a maid skirt came up. Stepping forward, gently opened the door.

"Welcome home sir."

The maid whispered.

After getting off the carriage, Chen Erqiang walked towards the mansion.

A dark-skinned little maid who looked like eleven or twelve led the way ahead.

"Master, you are back."

Accompanied by a burst of fluent Chinese, a tall and slender woman with long hair came over, and hugged her tightly, and the strong smell of perfume spread to her nostrils.Chen Erqiang put his arms around the woman's waist.

When I touched it, I felt my waist was soft, and I rubbed it lightly with my fingers. The woman just said "hmm" twice, and her voice was very charming.

"You little hoof, I don't think my master!"

"Of course I thought about it!"

"Where did you think?"

"Thinking all over..."

Chen Erqiang was very proud of the woman's words, this foreign woman is very tasty, among other things, even a man can't stand this style (sao).

He bought this woman from a Moroccan human trafficker—as early as a few years ago, there were Moroccan human traffickers who brought the business to Ming Dynasty. Of course, it was limited to the colonies. There are only more than a hundred people like this woman with a variety of styles. It's only a dollar.It's not cheap, but I can't stand the style and appearance!The natives are cheap and don't need money, but apart from the Japanese, only some white-skinned prisoners of war on the plantation will stay with them.

He said quite proudly.

"Serve the master and take a bath first, the journey has exhausted the master to death."

"Sir, are you tired of taking the train?"

"Tired, how can I not be tired, you don't know, in the garden, my master, I have to work myself! If it wasn't for making money, who would suffer that crime..."

When he said these words, Chen Erqiang didn't feel the slightest discomfort in his heart. In fact, when he first came here seven years ago, he was just an ordinary laborer. land, and rented hundreds of native laborers from the government to open up this plantation.

But after two or three years of hard work, he became the legendary "land rich man", and naturally he didn't work in the garden anymore. After all, there are local laborers in the garden.It only costs a few cents to manage food and housing. How can such cheap labor be used?
But some things still have to be done by yourself.Just like when he went to learn how to plant that rubber tree this time, he stayed there for more than a month, but he was exhausted.

But fortunately, I finally learned how to grow rubber trees, learned how to tap rubber, and then planted another rubber tree in the garden. After waiting for ten or eight years, just keep guarding the rubber tree and count the money.

Soon, the two arrived at the bathroom, and as soon as they entered, a servant came over to wash and change their clothes.Watching the woman undisguisedly take off her dress and step into the bathtub, Chen Erqiang also walked over. There is no need to hide anything in this bathroom. While the two of them were enjoying the mandarin duck bath, the native maid, Standing next to the woman, when the woman dived into the water, Chen Erqiang couldn't help closing his eyes, looking at the hair floating on the water around his waist, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart while enjoying the woman's service.

"Let's put this day in the past, even in my dreams..."
