Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 434 Letter from Nassau (2)

"Dear Christina!"

After visiting Yang Chao's exchange, Nassau returned to the inn and couldn't wait to start writing. He was so excited that he wished he could find someone to share it with.

"You can't imagine what I saw today. I have seen the earl's castle. Please forgive me for my rude evaluation. In front of this castle, the palaces of the entire European monarchs are no different from the straw houses where farmers live in the country. make any difference.

I'm not exaggerating, Christina, you haven't seen it, I believe that if you saw it, you would be more excited than me, it is an incomparable palace, please allow me to paraphrase a verse Indians engraved on their palace: If there's a heaven on earth, it's here, it's here, it's here!
Having said so much, my mood has gradually calmed down. Let me take you into this great palace.

When I saw him for the first time, I was completely stunned, you don't know what I saw, I saw porcelain, yes it was porcelain, but it was also a wall, a wall of porcelain, exuding wonderful white halo of porcelain wall.You must be freaking out, honey, listen to me go on.I was as shocked as you are at the time, I couldn't believe it, and I can't imagine anyone having the luxury of using porcelain for walls.

When I walked into the house, I felt like I couldn't take a step, because my feet were still porcelain, and the porcelain floor was like a carpet woven with ink and gold silk threads, but I still recognized it at a glance. Porcelain, Christina, if you were there, would you have the heart to step on it?

Then I saw the golden dome, which is different from the dome of my castle. It is curved and made of porcelain.

But what shocked me the most was the walls. Both sides are full of completely real pictures of Chinese characters, making people feel like they are in it. I completely believe that the characters on the pictures are all living in reality. I have seen Their eyes, which no skilled artist can imagine, must have been copied from real people.

Christina, you must be confused and terrified by now. In fact, I was the same as you at the time. Now I will tell you a secret. In fact, the Earl’s walls are not made of porcelain, which is too shocking.It's just that there are porcelain wall tiles on it. This fact makes me feel better, otherwise I would really feel inferior.

But even so, I was still shocked, and it is not an exaggeration to call this palace the Porcelain Palace.

If possible, I will ask the count to allow me to bring back a batch of tiles, and I will decorate a wonderful room for you, so that you can show your amazing temperament in it!

Love you Joao. "

Nassau then went on to write letters to the directors of the East India Company.

"Dear fellow East India Company directors.

I wrote a letter to you yesterday. I am really ashamed. I did not make clear the facts before jumping to conclusions.I shouldn't have doubted everything before, Marco Polo, Matteo Ricci, Garriott, Cruz and Martin de Rada what these gentlemen said, I now believe what they said, it's completely true.

Thank goodness I didn't have time to send yesterday's letter, otherwise I would have made a big joke.

I have an important piece of information to report, today I saw the Earl's castle.When I saw the first side, I thought it was a porcelain palace, but later I realized that it was a castle wrapped in porcelain pieces.

I feel obliged to report this news to the wise and knowledgeable directors. I believe this news is very useful. The earl said that he would allow European monarchs to use the same tiles, and I also got a promise to buy Chinese official kiln porcelain.

You should know what this promise means. It means that we can supply European monarchs with crazy porcelain to plaster their castles. Who doesn't want to live in porcelain?

I think only these, I have completed the task of this mission.

But actually our negotiations haven't started yet.

So you see, it's a generous earl.

Now I will briefly introduce this earl and his territory. His territory is located in the center of China, only the east side is close to the sea, and the other directions are the territories of other Chinese monarchs.But the earl's territory is the richest place in China.

Fortunately, the Earl who owns such a wealthy territory is a generous person. By the way, his title is the Earl of Loyalty, which means loyalty and generosity in Chinese.

Before that, we only knew that the Earl of Loyalty controlled China’s customs. Now I must find out that the Earl has completely controlled the most prosperous place in China. I think the company should list the Earl as one of the most important people.

Regarding the next stage of work, I plan to visit the capital of China first, and then negotiate with the Earl to determine what goods we need.

As for the goods we need to sell, I am not confident that the earl will accept it. The only thing the earl has confirmed to accept is the war horse. The other thing that may be accepted is probably our warship. If the negotiation is successful, I will follow the orders of the directors as soon as possible. A shipyard was built in the east to supply the earl with ships.

Also, I will work hard to get tea, silk, raw silk and porcelain franchises as much as possible.

Wish me luck, honorable directors, dear friends!Your Joao. "
