The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 610 I think it's worth 2000 taels
Cruz was a Dutch naval officer who was arrested when Ding Yi broke through the big army two years ago. Later, he was unwilling to surrender to help the Ming army and was sent back together with Putesman.

Putesman was arrested after returning and was interrogated.

Cruise was soon expelled from the East India Company. He lost his source all of a sudden, and soon joined the pirates, mainly operating in Singapore, the Philippines, and Malaysia.

But now this line is not so easy to grab. All merchant ships will carry cannons, and large merchant ships have more cannons. They have been working for half a year, but they did not get any benefits. Instead, they were sunk by other merchant ships.

So he thought about going back to Da Yuan again to see if there were any soldiers here.

As a result, he saw the reward task bar left by Ding Yi.

On the task bar, an excellent scientist is worth 2000 taels of gold, and an ordinary one is also worth 200 taels of gold.

Cruston had this on his mind right away.

After he discussed with several pirates, everyone felt that he could retire with a fortune. He asked the Ming officials next to him at that time, what is a scientist?

Mingren thought for a while, disturbing his head, I don’t know, Lord Dante said, that is, it’s the kind of strange skills that no one else knows, only a few people know, no one else understands, a few people understand, anyway The rarer it is, the weirder it is, the more you know it, the more you know it.

So they went back to Europe with untold hardships. In Italy, Spain and other countries, they cheated and robbed ten people, dreaming of getting 2 to [-] taels of gold.

Zhao Dashan was dumbfounded after hearing this.

The concept of this scientist was proposed by Mr. Ding, he knows nothing.

How to tell who is who and who is a scientist?
But he couldn't pretend he didn't understand, Zhao Dashan looked at the ten people in front of him with a majestic expression.

Cruise was probably afraid that they would die on the way, so he entertained them all the way with good food and drink, and went to the deck to let the wind out every day, so most of the ten people were in good spirits, only two of them were weak, as if they were sick .

"Introduce everyone, who are they?" Zhao Dashan said seriously.

"This man's name is Bohr, Robert Bohr, God, he is the best mechanic we have in Europe, oh no, you call scientists, yes, scientists."

Robert Bohr, a British mechanic, showed his talent at the age of 13 and built a lathe by himself.

He was born before the British bourgeois revolution, which was the era when modern science emerged. This was an era in which giants came out in large numbers. In the decades after him, generations of scientific giants appeared, affecting the scientific development of the whole world.

Bohr's family was a family of watchmakers, and he liked to play with machinery since he was a child. His father used to make spring wheel guns for the Royal Guard.

Bohr hated war, and began to travel and study in various countries in 1634, and settled in Italy in 1635, where he opened a restaurant.

The Boer restaurant mainly serves meat. In order to save time and allow customers to eat softer meat, he actually developed a cooking pot.

In this kind of pot, water is boiled in a tightly sealed container, and the pressure generated by the accumulated steam raises the boiling point of the water. At this high temperature, the bones are quickly softened and the meat is cooked quickly. Equipped with a safety valve to prevent excessive steam pressure, this cooking pot was the predecessor of the modern pressure cooker.

Cruise had eaten very soft meat in Bohr's restaurant and watched him cook it in a cooking pot.

He asked in surprise at the time, what kind of pot is this?

Bohr said he invented it himself, and it was called a meat pot.

He also proudly asked Cruise if he thought the meat in our restaurant was soft.

Cruise laughed, yes, are you a scientist?So powerful, can you make your own pot?I've never seen it anywhere else.

Bohr said, scientist?Well, it's a very interesting title, let's count it, our family is a machinist, and it can also be called a craftsman, an excellent craftsman.

Cruise asked again, who else in Italy would make this thing?

Boer proudly said, I invented this, and I can guarantee that no one in the world can do it except anyone.

Well, that's right, it's you. Cruise stepped forward and punched him. After being knocked out, he carried it on his shoulder.

Just looking around, Cruise brought ten so-called scientists from Europe.

There are craftsmen, doctors, mathematicians, physicists, mechanics, and even painters.

When Ding Yi saw it later, he almost fainted.

Most of them are useless, but this Bohr is the most useful, and no amount of gold can buy it.

But Ding Yi was not there at this time, Zhao Dashan asked ten so-called scientists one by one, but he didn't see who was useful and who was not.

Many people are still scolding them, they were all arrested anyway, and none of them came here willingly.

The civil and military officials of the officials all looked at Zhao Dashan to see what he would do.

Cruise is also asking Zhao Dashan for gold, asking how much gold he can get.

Zhao Dashan rolled his eyes, is it difficult for me?I am the smartest person in Dongjiang Town other than Mr. Ding.

He walked up to the ten people and asked loudly: "Are you willing to stay with our senior officials and serve our respected Master Ding?"

The translators told them one by one.

"Tui" The scientists almost vomited with saliva all over Zhao Dashan's body.

Everyone is yelling at them, calling them a gang of pirates, shameless.

Cruise looked embarrassed.

Zhao Dashan was not angry either, he turned to Cruise and said, "You see, no one is willing to work for us?"

"Our task bar is very clear, want useful scientists?"

"Since he refuses to work for us, is he a useless scientist?"

"Need our help, cut them all?"

Zhao Dashan waved his hand.

Zheng, several soldiers stepped forward and drew their swords one after another.

"No, no, God, you can't do this." Cruise waved his hands in a hurry.

Someone nearby quickly translated it for the ten scientists.

The faces of the scientists suddenly changed drastically.

These orientals are even more barbaric than pirates, and they will be beheaded if they don't agree?
"I am willing, I am willing." Immediately someone surrendered first, this is a doctor, he didn't want to die so early, so he quickly raised his hand and surrendered, saying he was willing.

Cruise was overjoyed, this willingness, this willingness, General Zhao, don't worry, take your time.

"I'm afraid that they pretended to agree and play tricks behind their backs. They are all reluctant to come here now, so it's hard to make a big difference." Zhao Dashan looked embarrassed.

Judging by his expression, it would be better to chop a few and kill them as an example.

Everyone was scared to death, no one wanted to die abroad for no reason, so Zhao Dashan used both soft and hard tactics, coaxing and intimidating, in the end the ten people reluctantly agreed to stay as a senior official for five years, after five years, if When the results came out, Zhao Dashan filled everyone with silver and sent them back to China.

After negotiating with scientists, Zhao Dashan said to Cruise again: "Are these people scientists? You don't count, and I don't count. They need to stay here for trial?"

Cruise said, I'm here for the cooking pot, and I'll try it on the spot for you to see.

Sure enough, they brought a strange pot from the ship.

Zhao Dashan and the others looked at this strange pot, because it has a lid and is very airtight. Unlike their iron pots, which are usually covered with wood, the lid of this cooking pot is also made of metal, and there are several parts on it. , which is said to be sealed.

Zhao Dashan was interested at the first sight, and immediately asked someone to bring some beef bones and beef, and he did it on the spot.

The pot made by Bohr can heat up to 130 degrees, but he didn't know the degree at that time, he only knew that it was very hot and had to be vented to release it.

According to Bohr, it took them less than an hour before they were ready to boil the pot.

"Be careful, there is heat (steam) and it will hurt people." Bohr said ahead of them before boiling the pot.

Everyone opened it with great interest, and sure enough, the beef was soft and rotten, and the cooking time was much shorter than the normal cooking time.

After all, the common people use their iron pots to cook, and it may not be so bad for most of the day.

"It's kind of interesting." Zhao Dashan laughed, and told him intuitively that this thing might be useful, and it might be useful to Mr. Ding.

Cruston was extremely excited: "Then respected General Zhao, can we get the money now?"

"There's only this one person. Everyone else will have to try it. You have two options. Stay here for half a year and decide after we try it out."

"Or each person takes 200 taels of gold and leaves with a total of 2000 taels of gold."

so much?Song Fei and others screamed, reminding Zhao Dashan that these people have never tried it, and they don't know if they are liars.

so little?Cruise felt a little less, but thinking about it carefully, the risk was lower than robbing at sea, and it was considered a sudden wealth.

Now, even if it is equivalent to 1000 million RMB, it is acceptable for you to travel back and forth from Europe to Asia and earn 1000 million.

Cruise turned his head to discuss with the people around him, and finally asked for an additional price of [-] iron pots.

Zhao Dashan counter-offered him [-], and the two sides talked for a while, and Cruise was still satisfied with taking him away.

As soon as they left, Sein Fei, Zhu Xiangyang and others gathered around one after another, feeling that Zhao Dashan gave too much.

These people have never tried it, and I don’t know if they are scientists. It would be a blood loss if ordinary people were used to deceive us.

Zhao Dashan pointed to Boer confidently: "Just this person, I think it's worth 2000 taels."

"How do you know?" Yao Xinhan also called out.

Zhao Dashan thought for a while: "The pot he made can quickly burn the meat, don't you think it's very powerful?"

"Shhh" the crowd booed for a while.

Seeing Zhao Dashan pointing at him, Bo Er didn't know if he guessed what they were talking about, and actually smiled at Zhao Dashan.
