I've been too busy these days and I really don't have time to write. Today's chapter may not be updated very late. I'm going to stay up late to write. Don't wait. Let's read it tomorrow morning. Sorry.

I have tried my best to choose when it is late at night. At this time, few people can watch it at the fastest, usually it will be at least half an hour before it can be modified to the correct content.

It's okay to read on the computer, and it's okay to automatically subscribe with the mobile app. As long as I haven't clicked on the chapter before I modified it. Once I clicked on it, the wrong chapter content will be downloaded and entered into the mobile phone cache. At this time, even if I modify the mobile client, it is still the wrong content and will never change.

At this time, you can only download this chapter again. If it doesn’t work, you can only delete the book and remove it, and then add it again and put it on the shelves.

There are few people reading niche books and are rampant. There is no way to do so. If you don’t do this, you can’t make it. I’m sorry.

The war between France and Spain has not affected Bordeaux's prosperity. As France's leading Da Shang port, various trade ships entering and leaving the port every day have continued to increase. Tax officials' tariff collection is weak, and there is a thriving scene everywhere.

However, there is no figure of the East Coast people in this prosperity. Since the Navy escort fleet sent 50,000 pieces of cotton, a batch of food and arms at the beginning of the year, no ships from the East Coast have docked. Xu Xin still remembers the tragic appearance of the escort squadron that had just experienced a great war. After unloading the goods and repairing them in a hurry, the entire fleet quietly left the Port of Bordeaux in a quiet night, with its whereabouts secretly as if it was a thief.

As the person in charge of the Bordeaux trading station, Xu Xin expressed his helplessness. The 50,000 pieces of cotton shipped from the beginning of the year had been sold out. Julian, on behalf of the Pasquire family, had come to the trading station to meet with Xu Xin several times, but no ships had come from the local area, so he could only watch the huge cotton market occupied by textiles from the Netherlands. Even the old guy Ludwig invested in the expansion of a textile factory, hired dozens of full-time workers, purchased a batch of high-priced textile machines from the Netherlands, and started a cotton business as if they were good. During this vacuum period when the East Coast people were absent, he actually made some money from the cracks of Dutch goods.

It is September now, and there is still no news in the local area. Xu Xin heard some news about the local area from other ships by the port. Among them, the most talked about sailors from various countries, and the most exciting thing for Xu Xin and others was the naval fleet attack, burning down the British merchant station in Gambia.

After hearing the news, Julian also optimistically stated that the war might end within the year. Because the situation in the UK is getting more and more tense, the rational British businessmen obviously cannot tolerate long-term fall into the war quagmire of the East Coast. They will definitely find a way to end this increasingly meaningless war. As for the conflict of interests with the East Coast people, they can only find ways to reconcile each other. There is no way. Who told you not to surrender through war? Since people cannot surrender, then only by acknowledging their existence and dividing their respective scope of interests through interests is the way these smart businessmen will choose.

Today is another sunny day, and Bordeaux in late summer and early autumn is charming. Xu Xin was under the escort of Shinzaemon and Kojiro and others to go out to hunt in the countryside with Julian and others, but unexpectedly an uninvited guest suddenly came to the door. The status of this person made Xu Xin unable to ignore it. He had to send his personal servant to Julian's mansion to announce that he was about to miss the hunting trip and expressed his sincere apology.

"Mr. Abraham, my visit surprised me..." Xu Xin was still wearing a red hunting suit. He just got out when he met Abraham, the British diplomatic envoy to Bordeaux, who came to visit, so he didn't even have time to change his clothes.

"Please forgive me for taking the opportunity to visit me, Mr. Xu." Abraham took off his hat and greeted Xu Xin slightly. "I feel deeply uneasy for disturbing your hunting feast. Maybe I should come here again."

"Don't care too much, Mr. Abraham." Xu Xin stretched out his right hand and invited Abraham to sit down, then said with a smile: "Maybe I should invite you to participate in our hunting operation. I heard that when you were young, you led a team to explore Guinea and fought with local indigenous black people. I think you must be very good at your skills."

"Haha, hunting is a grand event for you young people. I am old and I rarely ride horses now. I can only sit quietly in the garden and read books like an old man in the evening. I really don't have the energy to do some intense exercise." Abraham said with a smile.

After the two of them were polite nonsense, Xu Xin took the initiative to raise the topic: "Mr. Abraham, I wonder what happened to you when you came to the door today? Is it about the diplomatic affairs between our two countries?"

"So," Abraham pondered for a moment before saying, "I wonder what do you think of these institutions and members of our country's Barons (the House of Lords, because their members are all nobles, are called Barons), and the House of Commons (mostly representatives of knights or civic classes)?"

"I'm sorry, I know very little about them, and I'm afraid I can't answer your question from Mr. Abraham," Xu Xin replied with a careful statement. "But based on the position of the country, I have a natural disgust towards them, because the colonial or trading companies they invest in are in a state of war with my country. I wish they would go bankrupt tomorrow, haha, please forgive my rudeness and rudeness. It's really my slightest bit of affection for them. They are all a group of vampires who only recognize money, and are even more dirty and shameless than the Jews."

"Your frankness is commendable." Abraham's words surprised Xu Xin slightly, and he continued: "These people are profit-oriented businessmen, and they will not miss any opportunity to make money. But once the country encounters disasters or crises, they will be confidently behind and instruct others to go forward to deal with the mess. They are so shameless and greedy, and many sinful things are caused by them. May God forgive them."

Xu Xin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Abraham, the old British man, came to the door and said something to him. Is his mind broken? Or is he scared because he heard that our naval fleet attacked their trading station. Now he is coming to make a relationship? Xu Xin smiled secretly. He is not the protagonist of the novice fantasy. Could it be that just by releasing his turtle, the IQ of the British in front of him immediately dropped to 5? This is obviously impossible.

Then, his purpose is worth pondering, let's see how he continues to speak.

"Yes, they despicablely launched an unjust war against our country, causing a large number of innocent people to suffer casualties and normal commercial trade to a halt. We have to face the battle. This is a tragedy, and the losses of both of us are immeasurable. I hope this meaningless war will end soon." Xu Xin said in accordance with Abraham's words.

"Yes, this wrong war has been going on for a long time, and it's time for someone to correct this mistake."

"We East Coast people love peace, but we cannot end this war alone."

"Maybe I can find a way to clear the relationship between the upper class and end this war that is overwhelmed by both sides as soon as possible."

After hearing this sentence lightly appearing in Abraham's mouth, Xu Xin even suspected that he had heard it wrong. Could it be that the British really couldn't hold on and were more anxious to end the war than we ourselves? This was too incredible.

"Conditions? What conditions do you need?" Xu Xin asked with a little breathing a little, "As the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world. I think Mr. Abraham, you don't want to help us for no reason. Tell me, what conditions do you need? I think I will consider it carefully."

"I need 4,000 latest flintlock guns, 50 high-quality army field artillery produced on the east coast, and ten thousand sabers, and perhaps some armor and hand-throwing bombs..." Abraham said softly, "I know you transported a batch of excellent East Coast weapons to Bordeaux more than half a year ago. Later, the French government acquired one-third of them for war with the Spaniards, and the rest is still stored in your warehouse. I know you want to stock up on these things for a good price. How about it? Can you transfer them to us?"

"You want to deal with the Scots?" Xu Xin woke up suddenly, "Your king wants to attack the Scottish Presbyterians? The war is about to begin?"

"The East Coast people, I have to admit that your sense of smell is very sensitive." Abraham smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. Those stubborn Scots have always refused to accept Archbishop Lauder's orders. In order to maintain the authority of the bishop and the king, we have no choice but to resort to force and raise an army to fight against these stubborn heresy."

"I understand your eagerness to maintain the authority of the king." Xu Xin said, and cursed the king of England's bullshit authority. "But the real question is, do you have money? Do I mean you have money to buy these weapons? As you said, I am a merchant, and I hoarded weapons to sell for a good price. Can you, or the forces you represent, afford it? To be honest, Mr. Abraham, my warehouse still contains 1,500 flintlock rifles, 30 guns of various types, 3,000 sabers and two hundred sets of armor. The total value of these goods exceeds 6,000 pounds according to the market price. This is a huge wealth, and I am not sure if you can afford it."

"You don't have to worry about the payment of goods, young man." Abraham continued to say slowly, "We can pay a portion of the cash, and the rest can be charged with goods or real estate. Of course, we have resolved the conflict between your country and the East India Company for you. Should you sell these weapons to us at a reasonable price? Otherwise, we can purchase them from the Dutch."

"The goods can be offset by part of the money, but not more than half. Also, we do not accept real estate that is not easy to value for the money. Of course, if you can really convince those merchants to enter into peace agreements with our country, I think I can sell you these high-quality weapons at a preferential price within my own authority and assume the obligation of confidentiality." Xu Xin said flatly after considering it.

"Then, I think I can go back and operate this matter now." Abraham stood up with satisfaction and said to Xu Xin.

"Okay. Finally, Mr. Abraham, I want to take the liberty to ask you a question." Xu Xin also stood up, looked at Abraham's old face and said.

"Of course, as long as I can answer." Abraham put on his top hat and looked at Xu Xin with a smile.

"Are you a royal party?" "You don't have to worry about the payment of goods, young man." Abraham continued to say slowly, "We can pay a portion of the cash, and the rest can be charged with goods or real estate. Of course, we have resolved the conflict between your country and the East India Company for you. Should you sell these weapons to us at a reasonable price? Otherwise, we can purchase them from the Dutch."
