The afterglow of a sunset is reflected in the office of the chief executive of the city of jalanzha.

After seeing rod leave, Claire goes to the window. It's already evening. Dusk is covered in the red brick and tile City. The construction is very beautiful.

After he came to Ryukyu, he was attracted by the beautiful scenery here. He even wanted to take his wife to this beautiful place, but now everything is getting worse and worse.

With a frown, Clare could hardly understand why the king of Qi was so persistent to Ryukyu, because from his understanding, the officials of Dayu did not seem to have much feelings for Ryukyu.

Even when they first dealt with the king of Chu, the king of Chu acquiesced to the fact that they occupied Ryukyu, but now the king of Qi has changed everything.

"Fifteen galleons?"

Clare recalled the fleet belonging to the king of Qi. Now he was most puzzled about why the king of Qi had both the flint gun and the Galen ship, the standard warship of Europe.

He has been thinking about this problem since he came back from Dengzhou, but no one can give him an answer.

The torch can explain this, but he couldn't figure out the flint gun and warship, because with the industrial ability of Dayu, even if he mastered the technology of flint gun, it was impossible to manufacture flint gun and warship so easily.

Especially the cast iron gun on the city wall, which has become the mainstream of naval gun in Europe for more than 30 years, but even so, the burst rate of this kind of naval gun is higher than that of bronze gun.

However, the quality of the cast-iron guns purchased by the king of Chu from Qingzhou was very good. According to the king of Chu, there were some accidents in these guns, but each explosion would not cause too much damage, and the accident rate was very low, which was enough to show the excellent quality of this kind of cast-iron guns.

Think of this, Clare more and more uneasy, if the king of Qi has such a strong industrial capacity, then he had to carefully consider this matter.

After all, it would be a disaster to fight such a powerful vassal in the sea area near Dayu, and even lead them to withdraw from East Asian trade permanently.

So at the beginning, he didn't consider rod's suggestion. If the British were involved, it would only infuriate the king of Qi. Moreover, the British coveted the East Asian route for a long time, which was tantamount to attracting wolves into the house.

After hesitating for a long time, Claire was ready to take a more secure approach. He was ready to let rod go to Qingzhou, the capital of the feudal land of Qi.

If it is confirmed that the king of Qi is really as powerful as he imagined, he will have to carefully consider the king's proposal, so that at least they can keep their trade in East Asia, which is better than losing everything.

In his opinion, Rhode has been in Ryukyu for too long. He does not understand the situation in Europe at all. Now the Netherlands is becoming weaker and weaker, unable to compete with European powers for trade routes.

So trade in East Asia is very important to the Dutch.

With a sigh, Clare looks to the bay. At this time, his fleet is stopping in the crescent shaped wharf. Many Dutch merchant ships are stopping here. It is here that they bring the goods of East Asia back home.

As the setting sun faded away, Clare finally made up his mind that Dayu was totally different from the America and Africa they conquered. It was a civilization similar to theirs, rather than staying in the primitive tribal state.

Such a national war machine will be terrible to operate.

....

Qingzhou.

Xiao Ming's days suddenly become more and more leisurely. These two days, he is either in the palace and Fei yue'er's underwear design problem, or he goes to Bowen college to supervise the students' learning.

Now that the overall situation is stable for the time being, he wants to take advantage of this stable period to cultivate more talents. He can't rely on Lin Wentao and Lu Tong alone.

His goal is to make the science and technology of Bowen college blossom everywhere.

"Your Highness, now the style of the underwear has been basically determined. The women workers in the textile workshop are producing underwear, but how to promote the underwear now?"

In the bedroom, Fei yue'er supports her arm on the table. Here, she is not familiar with her life and doesn't know where to start.

In fact, Xiao Ming had an idea for a long time. There were not many dignitaries and ladies in Qingzhou, so he had to find an authoritative figure from other places.

So he said to Fei yue'er: "in fact, if you want to promote underwear, there is a person who is very suitable for it?"

Fei Yue son immediately eagerly way: "is who?"

"Princess Pingyang." Xiao Ming said lightly that Princess Pingyang has always been famous for her bold style, and this bra and other things will probably make the princess very interested.

After all, Princess Pingyang is the fashion vane of Chongqing, and this underwear is not only used to cover up shame, but also plays an important role in making women more attractive.

Fei Yue suddenly came to understand, but the excitement had just disappeared and she disappeared. "She is a respecting princess, but now she is in Changan. Will she come over?"

"That's not necessarily true. Last time, she went to the imperial fiefdom for the sake of glass. Now you send a letter in the name of Princess Qi. Maybe she will come." Xiao Ming's eyes turned. "Then you can describe the changes in Qingzhou. With my aunt's temperament, I can't say that I will come."Fei Yue bit her lips, and her courage was small. But when she thought she could help Xiao Ming, she nodded and said, "your concubine is going to write a letter to Her Highness."

After that, Fei yue'er asked Xiao Huan to take the pen and paper and write.

Xiao Ming sits on one side to supervise. When Fei yue'er writes, a beautiful line of small characters appears on the paper, which is very neat and beautiful. Looking at these calligraphy like handwriting, Xiao Ming is ashamed.

Compared with Fei yue'er's calligraphy, his handwriting is as shabby as earthworm's mother.

After writing a letter, Fei yue'er gives the letter to Xiao Huan and asks her to send it to Chang'an. Then she seems to think of something and says, "Your Highness, this underwear is made, but there are few dyeing workshops in Qingzhou, and they can only dye single colors. My concubine thinks that there are some dyeing skills in the books given by your Highness for the dyeing workshop to learn."

Textile, dyeing and cloth are inseparable. Although Xiao Ming is idle now, he has been thinking about improving the quality of Qingzhou clothes, so that he can quickly occupy the market.

In this way, in addition to the textile process, the unexpected need is the dyeing workshop. Only the cloth that can be dyed with different colors can be sewn into exquisite clothes.

This dyeing workshop is also the industry that Xiao Ming is going to improve, so he said: "the princess and I really know each other. The textile workshop in Qingzhou is still left by the sun family. Now it's time to improve the dyeing process."

Seeing Xiao Ming's witty words, Fei yue'er starts to smile.
