Chapter 232 The Burnt Past (11): Flower of Evil

Chen Changsheng was still young at that time, only nine years old. He didn't know what he had experienced, and his eyes clearly no longer looked childish.

Together with his father, he planted the flowers of evil into the culture medium established under the guidance of William Adams.

From then on, the flower of evil brought by William Adams bloomed in the underground world of Gu Shang Hong Kong.

A few months later, they successfully harvested the first batch of fruits.

As William Adams said, this flower of evil is indeed different from the native species of Tianshen State. It is an "improved product" that can bloom more colorful flowers and bear larger fruits.

The fruits produced by this improved product are three times larger than those of ordinary strains, and the seeds in the fruits take on a fuller shape.

The only drawback is that the seeds in this improved fruit are much less than the ordinary fruit.

There are usually about 1,000 seeds inside the ripe fruits produced by common evil flowers.

As for this improved product, the fruit is obviously bigger, but there are very few seeds. There are less than 100 seeds in one fruit, but the pulp is more than the ordinary one.

The materials used by William Adams to make the culture medium are disposable. If you want to continue planting, the culture medium will be gone and you must plant it in the ground.

This means that in the subsequent planting process, the plant survival rate, fruiting rate, as well as the quantity and quality of the results will be reduced to a certain extent.

But this does not prevent this improved product from having an impact on Gushang Port.

At that time, Tianshen Prefecture had not yet banned the sale of flowers of evil, and even due to maritime trade, the market for flowers of evil had already taken shape in Tianshen Prefecture.

Gushang Port, which is located offshore, is the first to bear the brunt.

Once the high-quality Flower of Evil fruit cultivated by William Adams entered the market, it was like a depth bomb, disrupting all order.

This kind of fruit has a low yield, but is of high quality, so it sells for a high price. After being packaged as a luxury product by William Adams, it burned like a raging fire throughout the aristocratic circle in Shanghai.

In just one year, William Adams had made a lot of money, and the accumulated silver was enough to fill three long sailing ships with a carrying capacity of 800 tons.

As a result, Chen Changsheng entered the aristocratic circle in Gushangang.

He has experienced complex experiences since he was a child, and has seen all kinds of human emotions. He looks like a child on the outside, but in fact his mind is already more mature than that of an ordinary adult.

He used his age as a weapon and his tragic experience as a tool to win sympathy and goodwill, and soon gained the favor, pity and help of some older ladies in the aristocratic circle of Gu Shanghai.

At the same time, he had "great respect" for William Adams. As long as he "inquired" about the information, he would tell everything he knew, which greatly helped William Adams's business journey in Gushang Port.

The news he brought from the circle of noble ladies even helped William Adams avoid several fatal vendettas.

After that, William Adams took a liking to him and began to focus on training him——

William Adams put him on a galley loaded with silver and recommended that he study at one of the empire's colleges.

At that time, the empire had not yet opened its customs, and William Adams's reputation in the empire was terrible, so the letter of recommendation was not written to the college, but to his former mistress, the wife of a certain baron.

Facts have proved that the Baroness still misses her old love.

Or maybe there was something unforgettably unique about William Adams.

After Chen Changsheng arrived in the empire, whether he entered the customs or applied for school as a foreigner, he received secret help from the Baroness, so the whole process went smoothly without any major difficulties.

It's been ten years since I left.

In the second year of the decade, William Adams returned to the Empire and established the William Adams Ocean Trading Co., Ltd.

Ten years later, Chen Changsheng was 20 years old.

It was also in this year that he accepted a new mission, returned to Tianshen State with a more powerful Flower of Evil, and became the secretary of an army officer.

This officer was originally a puppet secretly supported by the empire. He did not have many troops at his disposal, and his strength was not ranked high in the entire Tianshen State.

After the arrival of Chen Changsheng, this officer was like a divine help. In just eight years, he rose to prominence and became the leading warlord in a province on the northwest plateau. He was called the "Marshal of Military and Military Affairs" by the outside world.

Chen Changsheng, on the other hand, was not a prominent figure. He was just a low-key lieutenant, and his statement did not spread far.

One of the most important reasons why an officer was able to become a warlord was that Chen Changsheng earned him enough military expenses. Wherever the warlord went, flowers of evil grew everywhere, and not only diseases were born from those seeds.

and weakness, and unimaginable amounts of money.

With the expansion of the warlord's power, Chen Changsheng returned to Baihuyuan again.

Time flies.

Chen Changsheng must capture Baihuyuan, not only because Baihuyuan was once an impact plain, and the land is fertile and suitable for the growth of crops.

Also because this place is a strategic link connecting the southern basin of Tianshen State, the northern grasslands, and the western wilderness. In this era when all the major forces are at their wits' end, if the warlord wants to make a difference, he can use this place as a base to establish his own rear area.

Subsequent expansion will be safer and faster.

The third reason that no one knows is Chen Changsheng's own personal affairs.

When he was young, his family was considered wealthy, but he lost money in business. When he left Baihuyuan, he was looked down upon. Even though his neighbors were all close relatives, no one was willing to lend his family some money for working expenses.

As a result, they had no choice but to sell their properties and leave their homes.

The only person in Baihu Plain that Chen Changsheng misses is Mr.

The master taught him the truth and enlightened him.

When he and his father pawned their house and had nowhere to go on a cold winter night with heavy snow, it was his husband who allowed him to stay overnight and gave him food.

When Chen Changsheng left Yuanshang, there was almost no goodwill in his heart.

And the husband is the last person in his life who wants to repay kindness.

Therefore, Chen Changsheng desperately wanted his husband to accept his idea. Chen Changsheng, who had been to the empire, had already seen the power of industrialization, and had also seen with his own eyes the fate of farmers who did not have the means of production.

He doesn't care what the people of Baihuyuan are like.

But he knows that Mr. cares about this land and the people on this land.

If the land and people in Baihu Plain are destroyed due to the coming industrialization, Mr. Xiang will definitely be very sad.

In order not to make Mr. sad, he needs to make this land rich as soon as possible.

Only if the common people get rich early, and when industrialization comes, can they exchange this money into means of production, and then use the means of production to make more money——

Based on everything Chen Changsheng saw in the empire, combined with the sociological knowledge he had learned, he concluded this idea and believed that this was the only way to solve the current dilemma faced by Baihuyuan.

But sir, that's not allowed.

The husband slapped him, but Chen Changsheng didn't care. He was a grateful person. If it hadn't been for taking him in that night and that meal, he would have starved to death on that cold night without everything that happened later.

Already.

Chen Changsheng's grievances are clear.

returning a Favour many times more.

After being kicked out of the academy by his husband, he still wanted to persuade him.
