"Haha, Brother Chen, this is a good thing. If you can get help from Brother Chen, I, Li Saner, why worry about not being able to drive out the Tartars and revive my mountains and rivers? Come on, Brother Chen, don't be so reserved, sit down and have a cup of tea, let's talk slowly!"

Even though the scene was a little awkward, Li Chunlai's face was already thicker than the city wall. He immediately proofreaded it and invited Chen Tingyang enthusiastically and sincerely.

Chen Tingyang also recovered a lot at this time. After a little refusal, he stopped being humble and sat down and drank tea to chat with Li Chunlai.

Soon, the two of them became more and more speculative in their conversations, and they became more and more confidant.

To be honest, people like Chen Tingyang are not so difficult to get along with, but this thing needs a prerequisite.

You have to pass his review and assessment first.

Or, you have to have this capital to let him recognize you first, and both parties are on the same level.

This is also an old problem of the noble prince of the Han Dynasty.

At this time, Li Chunlai seemed to have passed Chen Tingyang's assessment.

And when Chen Tingyang removed his tinted glasses that were always holding him, he could naturally discover many of Li Chunlai's advantages.

"I heard from Brother Chen, you are quite worried about the white-haired ghosts in Nanyang? I have heard some of them before. Their navigation technology is already very developed. They came to Nanyang from far away Europe, and even borrowed Macau from our Ming Dynasty! But, if they really want to win against me, Daming, are they still far behind?"

As he was talking, the topic between the two couldn't help but shift to Nanyang, and Li Chunlai quietly led the topic deeper.

"Shuai Ye, your words are not unreasonable, but they are a bit one-sided..."

Chen Tingyang originally wanted to say it, but he realized it after a moment. Even though he didn't like Li Chunlai very much before, he also understood after he really came into contact with Li Chunlai. It was probably only a matter of time before Li Chunlai's success.

How could it be possible to openly refute Li Chunlai's words?

He hurriedly said, "Shishuai, let me say that. If you fight on land, those white-haired ghosts will probably not be my opponents of the Ming Dynasty, but if you really want to switch to the sea, I am afraid... I am in danger of being in the Ming Dynasty..."

As he said that, he looked into Li Chunlai's eyes, "Shuai Ye, I wonder, have you heard of a small country called the Netherlands?"

Chen Tingyang seemed cute when he said this, but how could Li Chunlai not understand what he meant?

here we go again.

I want to take the school entrance exam for him, Mr. Li San.

But Chen Tingyang seemed to be disappointed in this.

After thinking about it, Li Chunlai said, "Well, I really know a little. I think Brother Chen has also heard that my mansion still has a white-haired aide in captivity. In the Netherlands, I heard that the business is very big now and there is an East India company. Now, many white-haired people call them sea coachmen! It seems that their strength is much stronger than many European powers."

Chen Tingyang's eyes suddenly lit up.

He had always suspected that Li Chunlai was strong outside and was trying to gain fame. To a certain extent, Li Chunlai's age was an important factor.

But at this time, when Li Chunlai was so organized and clearly expressed his understanding of the Netherlands, Chen Tingyang naturally understood it.

People like Li Chunlai understand in their hearts!

Even, it is only more clear and thorough than those with high positions and power!

He hurriedly bowed to Li Chunlai respectfully and said, "What Mr. Shuai said is very true. Speaking of which, when his parents of students were born, they wanted to open up the Nanyang market, but for various reasons, they never made it possible. Nowadays, students still have some ambitions. Unfortunately, the road is already complete. The Dutch and Portuguese have occupied many of the channels that originally belonged to my Ming Dynasty. Our Shen family can only wander on the front line of Goryeo and barely maintain it..."

Seeing that Chen Tingyang began to reveal some core news, Li Chunlai was also very energetic and hurriedly said, "Brother Chen's ambition, I admire Li San'er. But, Brother Chen, why should you increase the ambition of others and destroy our prestige? Back then, when the Ming Dynasty's maritime businessmen were booming, there were still many roots in Nanyang, right? Not to mention, there were many Han people in Nanyang at this time."

Chen Tingyang shook his head and laughed, and began to popularize a lot of knowledge for Li Chunlai's science.

Li Chunzhi had already understood this trouble, but after all, he still looked at it through the accumulation of that soul and the eyes of the future.

At this time, Chen Tingyang, including their Shen family, was definitely considered a person in the game even if he was not a direct witness.

His perspective is much more detailed than the news about Li Chunlai.

Not to mention the scattered events of the Southeast Maritime Merchants in the past, just talking about the current treasure island, the Dutch's power there is already a huge force.

Moreover, they not only attracted many leaders and talkers from the treasure island, but also gradually began to control the trade line with the island countries.

Although the remnants of the Southeast Maritime Merchants and the rampant and arrogant pirates in the southeastern area have been suppressed by the Dutch.

Now, even many goods from the Ming Dynasty must rely on the Dutch if they want to go to the Southeast Asian region.

Although Li Chunlai had some expectations about this, he did not expect that the situation was so decayed.

However, after a little reflection, Li Chunlai also recovered.

Isn’t Zheng Yiguan and Zheng Ye who got up back then, he hugged the Dutch people’s thighs?

The only benefit at this time is that although the Dutch were rampant on the treasure island at this time, they had not really built a city yet!

This means that they are not really taking root, and there is a great risk.

Take a step back.

Even if the Dutch had already established some city of Jelancha on Treasure Island, it was not that scary.

To put it bluntly!

Where is the Netherlands?

It's just a small country!

In this era, it is no wonder that they are so arrogant that they are just standing at the forefront of the times.

Then, he was either beaten by France or Britain.

It was a little better when I was beaten by Britain, but the fleet was destroyed. France was a little too much. It directly flattened the Netherlands, occupied the entire territory, and directly destroyed the country...

Even if the Dutch were strong at this time, they really had to fight in the seas of the Ming Dynasty. Even if the Ming Dynasty only had its current equipment level, they were not too afraid!

How many of these Dutch talents are there?

Not to mention it too much, if a war really breaks out and the Ming Dynasty can sink one or two of their main ships, they will collapse, as if the capital chain is broken.

After all, should East India defend itself?

How long does it take to mobilize troops from the Netherlands to the Ming Dynasty? What is the cost?

Of course, theory is theory, and if it really needs to be specific to reality, it is impossible to calculate it directly.

As for the level of the navy at this time of the Ming Dynasty, it can only be called the "navy", but it is absolutely impossible to call it the "navy".

Although Li Chunlai's fleet was very large at this time, there were thousands of ships of all sizes, but there were not even a single one that could be called a "ship".

All are old goods.

Even there are many old junk goods of thirty or forty or even fifty or sixty years old...

Not to mention, the Later Jin Tartars were eyeing this place.

But just as the later generations evaluated China, this is a race that God wants to protect!

Whenever there is a disaster, there will always be an extremely powerful hero standing up!

Even though the situation is not optimistic at this time, the Ming Dynasty's unique regional advantages are still very good!

In other words, the Ming Dynasty still has enough time!

As Li Chunlai talked about the ship with Chen Tingyang again, the two hit it off, regretting that they met too late.

After a while, it became dark.

Just as Li Chunlai called his personal soldiers and asked the kitchen to have a table of good dishes, had a good drink with Chen Tingyang, and talked to the candle at night, a personal soldiers suddenly came to report: "The second young lady is sending news and asking Li Chunlai to go tonight, and there is progress in the glass factory."

Chen Tingyang was naturally very tactful and was busy asking Li Chunlai for instructions. Li Chunlai could be busy with his own business if he had something to do, and it would not be too late for them to talk slowly another day.

Li Chunzhi understood the second young master’s thoughts, and must have missed himself, but Li Chunlai also trusted the second young master’s methods.

Since she has achieved success in the glass factory, 80% of the results are only better than she thought!

He couldn't help but smile at Chen Tingyang and said, "Brother Chen, why should you be so reserved between you and me? I don't know if Brother Chen has time tonight, so I will take Brother Chen to see some gadgets."

"this……"

Looking at Li Chunlai's sincere eyes, Chen Tingyang responded without hesitation: "It's better to obey your orders than respect!"

"Ha ha!"

Li Chunlai couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Brother Chen, please!"

"Shishuai, please!"

...

Soon, Li Chunlai and Shen Tingyang took a carriage together and rushed to the glass factory north of which was near the fish canning factory.

At this time, the road leading to the north of the urban area has been repaired better and better. Although there are no breakthrough results on the cement factory at this time, they have already gained considerable experience in paving roads and providing raw materials.

It looks a bit on track.

In this way, they achieved a breakthrough, but it was only a matter of time.

A few miles away from the city, this is the ‘forbidden area’.

Although the previous plan was still in the urban area, including Li Chunlai's "Dushifu" and is also in this area, but at this time, it was during the construction process, which not only involved many employment issues, but also some core secrets, so it is naturally impossible for outsiders to know about it.

Chen Tingyang has been traveling back and forth on Changdao several times, but this is the first time he has been here.

Even though it was already dark outside, he was very interested in the surrounding area with large gatherings of fire.

I really don’t know how Li Chunlai controlled it. Such a huge gathering area was not at all chaotic at this time.

I also learned more and more about the hugeness of Li Chunlai.

This Master Li San walked all the way through the mud pit to this point, and he was soaring. How could he use it as a rule?

If he doesn't have some real skills, how could he reach this point?

After coming to the heavily guarded glass factory, Chen Tingyang became more and more solemn, and his heart couldn't help but feel anticipation.
Chapter completed!
