1667: I Do Business with Kangxi

Ding Weinian. Kangxi six years. Twenty-one years of Yongli (if Emperor Yongli has not died yet). That is 1667! This year, the Qing Dynasty's rule had long been stable, and only the Zheng family was still struggling to hold on at sea. This year, Britain and the Netherlands clashed in the North American colonies, and Louis XIV of France was eyeing the Spanish Netherlands. For Easterners, it is an era of shaving one's hair and changing clothes. For Westerners, it is an era of competing for resources at sea. Gu Changfeng and Xu Jing came to this world from the fog and created an unprecedentedly powerful business empire on the sea. "We want to engage in grain and coal mining business in Vietnam!" "We want to open silver mines in Japan and America!" "We're going to collect spices from the Spice Islands!" "We want to do horse business in North Korea and Liaodong!" "We want to open shipyards in Taiwan and Hong Kong!" "We want to open a sugar factory in Leizhou and a textile factory in Hangzhou!" "We still have a lot of business to do!" "With so much business, is there anything wrong with us building a million-strong army to protect the caravan?" The two brothers smiled and said to Kangxi: "You won't be so stingy and won't let me train troops here, will you?"
