Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Lansing frowned and said, "Half the household registration? Then how can I get the other half of the household registration, like you?"

Cohen, who was disgusted with other people's unrestrained smoking just now, lit the cigarettes he brought back from Daming himself: "It's difficult to say, but easy to say.

As long as you can speak Daming dialect fluently, know the Chinese characters of Ming Dynasty, and be familiar with some important laws of Ming Dynasty, you can obtain a complete Daming household registration.

Of course, this is what I have worked hard to win for you. Your children, including my own, must learn to write Ming characters in order to obtain a full household registration. "

After distributing the cigarettes in the pack to other people and signaling them to taste the cigarettes from the Ming Empire in the Far East, Cohen continued: "My wife and I have complete household registrations, and the reason is actually very simple.

It is because I know the characters of Ming Dynasty and can speak the language of Ming Dynasty that I have a complete household registration. This should be expected by gentlemen.

As for my wife's household registration is also complete, it is because I have done something that is beneficial to Daming, so I got an additional full household registration quota, and I left it to my wife. "

Lansing frowned and said, "Mr. Cohen, I think we should all be considered as contributors to Daming, right? Don't forget, half of the people in the entire European battlefield are using the weapons we sold.

In other words, we not only made a lot of profits for Ming, but also made Europe weaker. Isn't this enough for us to get a full quota? "

After shaking his head lightly, Cohen said, "I'm sorry, Lansing, although I don't want to hit you too hard.

First of all, Ming’s armaments are not worried about sales at all. With us or without our sales, the final result will not change. Without the Dutch East India Company, there will be other East India Companies, there will be West India Companies, and even Daming can sell directly.

Those of us are tantamount to making money on the basis of Daming’s arms. Our so-called contribution is simply dispensable to Daming. It is far less important than your child’s ability to read, speak, and write. "

Lansing is now interested. A country that respects learning is always more respectable, isn't it?

After praising the cigarette that Cohen brought back, Lansing asked: "So, can you tell me now, what exactly did you do to allow you to get one more full quota?"

After Cohen took a puff of cigarette, he said meaningfully: "I compiled all the information in the whole of Europe into a piece of information, and then gave it to Daming, so I got an extra quota."

Without waiting for other people to ask questions, Cohen continued: "Believe me, gentlemen, even if I didn't provide the information, Daming can still get all the information he wants. But this is a big challenge for all the gentlemen. Chance.

I think, no matter what channels you use, you can always get more information, right? "

PS: Today's New Year's Eve, I wish everyone a happy New Year's Eve!

Chapter 767 Gou Lei Arrived in Europe

Selling Europe did not cause any psychological pressure on everyone present—these people dared to sell the rope to hang themselves, so what kind of big deal was selling Europe?

If you think about it from another angle, many people have no chance to sell Europe, and except for Cohen, each of the sixteen gentlemen is responsible for a bunch of things, and a large number of eyeliners are all over Europe. They want to get information about Europe and then It would be too easy to sell it again.

After everyone looked at each other, they looked away one after another—it is no problem to sell Europe, but if the information in their hands is obtained by others, it will be very problematic.

After knocking on the table, Cohen continued: "Gentlemen, I want to know what the whole of Europe has become like during the time I went to Daming? The Holy Roman Empire, the princely states, and the Holy See Between, between the Brits, what's up with the mess?"

Lansing blew out a smoke ring almost as if he had no teacher, and said with a smile: "What else can I do? Let's continue to fight. Thanks to their family, our current arms business has expanded again. Even the ones that didn't All the vassal states involved participated in the war.

In addition, the real excitement is now on the British side. Not only are the Royalist Party and the Congress Party fighting each other, but even their respective civilians are starting to make noise. "

Cohen said blankly: "Civilians? What are their civilians making a fuss about?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Lansing continued: "I don't know where a book came from, it's called "The Gangster on the Edge of the Swamp", which tells the story of 72 knights who revolted under the leadership of the hero Gan Lin Song Jiang.

The price of this book is very cheap, so cheap that almost every commoner can afford it, so many people started a vigorous uprising under the inspiration of this book.

In fact, not only the British, but also a large number of uprisings in other vassal states, because many civilians could not survive. "

Cohen was even more confused now - gangsters on the edge of the swamp?Can a gangster organization be born on the edge of the swamp?Also uprising?Then these civilians are still learning the practices of these gangsters?

After coughing, Cohen said, "Where did this book start to spread? Where did it come from? Have you found it, gentlemen?"

Lansing said: "Of course, in Europe, nothing can be difficult for our East India Company.

This book was first passed on from Ottoman, and the earliest source should be the Ming Empire. If you are interested, you can easily buy it. "

Cohen nodded and said, "What about the others? But is there any new news?"

Lansing smiled and said, "Where do you get so many new news? It's nothing more than you hitting me and I hitting you. The whole of Europe is so lively right now, there's nothing else."

After finishing speaking, Lansing asked inadvertently: "By the way, if there is any new news, will I give it to you directly? Or tell someone?"

After cursing secretly in his heart, Cohen said with a smile: "Of course I didn't tell me that although I am already a citizen of the empire, I haven't joined the intelligence department, so naturally I am not responsible for this aspect.

After today's meeting is completed, I will introduce to you gentlemen the person in charge of this aspect of the empire. He was specially sent by Jin Yiwei, the intelligence department of the empire, to be responsible for the collection and statistics of our intelligence department.

In addition, I would like to tell everyone that I have changed my surname now. My surname is now Li. Please call me Li Keen in the future. "

Lansing felt relieved.

Since Li Keen was able to gain the status of a citizen of the Ming Empire by selling news from Europe, then so could people like himself.

The problem is, if the information is transmitted through Cohen, who knows whether Cohen will take the opportunity to turn his own information into his?

After all, he, Li Keen, also has several lovers, and more than a dozen illegitimate children. It is estimated that he will need a lot of information to exchange his lovers and illegitimate children for Daming's household registration.

Now that the people sent by the Ming Empire are directly responsible, the time for these people to obtain the Daming household registration will be greatly advanced-seeing Cohen's arrogant appearance, one by one from the empire, it is very difficult for them to become the people of the Ming Dynasty. amazing?

Although I really don't want to admit this, in fact, having the household registration of the Ming Empire is so remarkable, and Lan Xin is really envious, including a dozen other people.

The most obvious example is the Ming merchants who went to live in the Holy Roman Empire. All the warring parties tacitly avoided the place where they lived, and there would never be a shell that fell on their house by mistake.

After all, no one wants to provoke these Ming people who are backed by some fleets, even if they don't believe in God.

Including the Netherlands, England, and even the Spaniards who had been severely taught by the Ming Navy, no one wanted to provoke them.

Except for Tsarist Russia—the problem is, even if Tsarist Russia, which has the guts to provoke Daming, must have people from Daming living in Russia, right?

Thinking of Tsarist Russia, Lansing continued: "By the way, Alexei Mikhailovich announced that the salt tax will be raised to 1.3 times. Have you heard the news?"

Li Keen shook his head and said: "I just came back from Daming, and I don't know much about the news from Tsarist Russia. However, if you know something, you can tell the people in Jinyiwei, and he will sort out the information for you and then pass it on. Go back to Daming."

Lansing asked, "Is the news from Tsarist Russia useful?"

After nodding his head, Li Keen said: "Of course, in the northernmost part of the empire, the invincible army of the empire is advancing eastward, and sooner or later it will advance westward one day in the future, and at that time the empire will be at war with Tsarist Russia.

In other words, if you can now obtain a lot of news about Tsarist Russia through your channels, it will be very helpful for you to obtain the household registration of the Ming Empire. "

Lansing nodded, and then changed the topic.

If the news from Tsarist Russia is useless, then there is no problem telling Cohen now. After all, the East India Company also needs to develop and expand, and the possibility of expanding its business to Tsarist Russia cannot be ruled out in the future.

But now that this information is related to his acquisition of Daming household registration, he can't tell Cohen immediately, at least until the news is registered with Jin Yiwei before he can tell.

Almost everyone else had the same plan—it was okay to share news, but they had to wait until the news was registered to ensure that they could earn enough benefits before sharing, at least not right now.

After the meeting was over, Li Keen returned to his residence and couldn't wait to call out to his wife: "Look, what is this?"

After receiving the Daming household registration booklet handed over by Li Keen, he turned it over and over for a long time, but Li Keen's wife couldn't figure out what it was: "The characters on it are very similar to the oriental characters you have been studying before?"
