"Potter? There's no such thing yet! Remember, this thing became famous later than Cognac!" Liu Xiang asked doubtfully.●⌒,
Qian Shuixie leaned close to Liu Xiang's ear and whispered: "The vineyard of the owner of Luzhuang has produced wine for the first time this year! The semi-fermented grape juice is directly mixed with the brandy shipped from Europe. I don't know that this port is considered a local product.
It’s still considered imported, haha.”
Liu Xiang also knew something about wine. After hearing this, he immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "Relentless! You are willing to put in effort and money! But I remember that later Port, Sherry, etc. were all directly mixed with alcohol."
Qian Shuixie said with disdain: "Forget it, I don't like drinking that kind of black-hearted wine! Besides, 'brandy shipped from Europe' is a big gimmick, and special stores rely on it to withdraw currency.
Minister Hong is jumping up and down, ready to do a big job."
"You mean his No. 82..."
"Yes, it has been approved." Qian Shuixie nodded, "Of course it is still an industry under the name of the General Office."
Hearing that it was Minister Hong's private work, Liu Xiang nodded and did not elaborate on the matter. He just joked: "We might as well 'invent' the glass bottle and the oak stopper and start a wine resale business! In the future, Porter
Wine is nothing to do with oporto!”
There was nothing to hide in this sentence, so the voice became louder. Sonia, who was sipping the wine in her glass, picked her ears and heard the familiar place name "oporto", and looked at the two of them blankly.
The elder thought for a long time, then shook his head in disappointment and said: "Oporto (Porto) and the entire Douro River Basin produce good wine, but they don't taste like this. Besides, I really can't imagine transporting wine across half of the world to the Far East.
...it takes about 60 days to ship local wine from the port of Madeiraville, the nearest wine producing area to the New World, to Pernambuco. It takes about 60 days with a favorable wind. It is a gift from God to ensure that half of the wine barrels do not turn into sour and smelly waste.
Already..."
Liu Xiang smiled slightly and said: "That's because you neither understand the reasons why wine becomes rancid, nor do you master more advanced navigation technology."
Liu Xiang said as he took out a bone-in lamb chop from the plate. As a meat-loving foodie, how could he not eat meat with chopsticks first?
"We do have a way to transport wine over long distances, and it's either strong wine like brandy or newly brewed sweet wine. But this is a major commercial secret, and you can probably imagine the interests behind it.
Not to mention the Far East and colonies around the world, it is shipped to the United Kingdom and Northern Europe. The profits are enough to create countless rich people." Liu Xiang gnawed on the meat and boasted about it. "As for the navigation technology, Liangya has two teeth.
, Oh, no, the entire Iberian Peninsula has begun to completely fall behind. Just a dozen years ago, a medium-sized ship transported some Puritans who refused to recognize the Church of England from Plymouth to the northern frontier of the New World, and it only took 66
Oh my God! And you are still using a heavy-duty galen like a turtle to climb the Atlantic Ocean..."
For some reason, Liu Xiang's desire for expression was particularly strong today. The topic soon shifted from Galen's bulky appearance to earlier, the disastrous defeat of the Spanish Armada in the "last century", and then from the British-Nordic region.
The development of ship types can be traced back to the Nordic trade during the Hanseatic period. Then he ridiculed the weird policy of taxing based on deck area in Europe, and then praised the invention of the Dutch "at the end of the last century" to deal with this problem.
This kind of policy is a flute-shaped ship (Lu yt). Finally, I talk about the deep V-shaped cross-section design and the advancement of watertight cabins...
Qian Shuixie secretly wondered why Liu Xiang was so desperate to show off these things? Did he have any thoughts about Sonia? Looking at the naturalist's face of admiration and admiration, he couldn't help but secretly worry: Lao Lin couldn't just strike him with lightning.
When Liu Xiang said that he had brought back a "designed" model of a high-speed ship that would "take only 90 days from Lingao to London", Qian Duoduo ate the food in his bowl in just a few clicks. Then he strongly demanded to go
Seeing the 66cm "Jumpy Number" model that Liu Xiang showed off just now, Sonia also expressed that she must take a look... Anyway, by the second half of the meal, only Liu Xiang, Qian Shuixie and Xiao Zhang Xiaolin were left on the table.
After blowing off the water, the topic stopped, and it seemed to be a bit quiet. What's even more strange is that Zhong Xiaoying was sent away by Zhang Yunmi in the end. What was he doing?
The scene was dull for a while, and it took about two mutton chops for Zhang Yunmi to organize his words.
"Teacher Liu, remember you taught us economics before!"
Liu Xiang twitched when he heard this sentence - he "taught economics" at the time. Because of this issue, he was criticized several times in "Morning Star" and was accused of "poisoning the next generation of elders."
"Why is this girl bringing up this matter now?" Liu Xiang wondered in his heart.
"Last week, Ma Tu...the uncle gave us a special weekend class on political economics, and finally left several economic articles for us to write our own reflections after studying..." Zhang Yunmi became more and more embarrassed as he spoke, after all, this was
I'm looking for someone to write my homework for me.
"Yes, yes, the original text of Birdsong was given to Xiao Zhang. It's so pitiful..." Xiao Lin helped.
"Special weekend class?" Liu Xiang looked at Qian Shuixie in confusion. Qian Shuixie explained briefly that this special class is "weekend", which is actually a separate class for young elders every Saturday. You know
Naturalized citizens have two days off a month. Those who can use Saturday as a weekend holiday are the children who came from the original time and space. This day is mainly about teaching content that is not suitable for large classes, such as involving this time and space.
All political, economic, technological and other contents of "history that has not yet happened". We do not expect these young elders to be proficient in these. We just need to train them so that they can be ideologically closer to other "older uncles" instead of getting more and more familiar with them.
The more they look like local naturalized people. Is this also considered "aristocratic education" in another sense, or "imperial education"?
Ma Dugong attaches great importance to the ideological education of young senators!
"What aspect? Did you not understand it or have no ideas?" Liu Xiang responded.
If I don't understand it, it's a problem of knowledge structure, or at least a problem of professional vocabulary - if it's a bird language document, it's basically difficult for non-majors to understand it. If you don't have an idea, it's easy to talk about it. Check out some of the higher-level forums in the original time and space.
Economics is considered a hot topic, so I understand it to some extent. At least I can ask "Have you paid taxes" after others tell the story about shit-eating economists very eloquently?
"Some of my English articles are about neoliberalism in South America." As soon as Zhang Yunmi finished answering, Xiao Lin rushed to say, "Some of my articles are about South Africa."
After listening to Lin Ziqi's description, Liu Xiang and Qian Shuixie looked at each other and found that there was confusion in each other's eyes.
"Duoduo also wants to write?" Qian Shuixie asked.
"Well, it seems to be a very biased question, what is it about?" Xiao Lin responded.
Qian Shuixie shook the silver bell on the dining table, and Qian Xuanhuang came in. Not long after giving instructions, Qian Duoduo returned to the restaurant alone and unwillingly.
"What was sent to me was the industrial decline of Wallonia and the separatist tendencies of the Flemish people."
Qian Shuixie was confused when he heard this: "This is probably a bit difficult."
"Who else do you know?" Liu Xiang did not answer Qian Shuixie directly, but asked again.
"Zhuo Xiaoshou... uh... what Min is talking about is about the 'Prussian Road'." Xiao Lin accidentally let it slip.
Zhang Yunmi nodded and said: "A few other students have books about homestead law, Northern Italy and so on... Oh, by the way, Uncle Ma also told us that if we don't understand, we should go to the big library to read more information.
, or ask other uncles and uncles who 'understand economics and history'."
Zhang Yunmi emphasized his tone in the second half of the sentence.
"The Governor is indeed a bit of a bully!" Liu Xiang called the nickname nonchalantly. "The logic is a bit convoluted. Yunmi, you should write this article in reverse, and don't write about the medicine of 'neoliberalism'.
Rather, I want to write about the disease that this medicine is intended to cure." Liu Xiang then told Zhang Yunmi in detail the concept of "developmentalism" originally practiced in Latin America.
"...the fundamental goal is to industrialize and break the unequal 'center-periphery' international economic structure dominated by developed countries. Industrialization relies on three major means: massive investment, implementation of protectionist policies and strict foreign exchange controls, and adjustment of taxation
Policies on wages, profits and employment are to encourage the development of domestic enterprises. In the process of industrialization, we must engage in 'import substitution', get rid of dependence on the international market, especially on products from developed countries, form our own production capabilities, and achieve economic independence. Here
It should be noted that when Latin America began to engage in import substitution in the 1930s, due to historical reasons, foreign capital dominated, and it was not like China where the revolution was completely wiped out. Therefore, China started learning manufacturing from scratch and had nothing to do with foreign capital.
Latin America is a substitute, targeting foreign investment."
However, in this time and space, it seems that this is the only "foreign capital" that can export industry at the moment! The Senate of this time and space is not in a Latin American country, but in a developed country!
The Governor's thoughts have changed?!
For some reason, Liu Xiang suddenly had a strange image of Queen Du glaring in anger, raising her fist as big as a sand bowl, and billions of rays of light blooming from her fist.
In fact, Liu Xiang knew from the beginning that no matter how much everyone publicly agreed with the land reform, in the final analysis, they were all willing to travel through time. Liu Xiang would never believe it if he didn't have any intention of "privately owning land". Don't look at everyone.
It is said that land reform is a good thing, but most people regard land reform as a "technique", a "technique" used to establish the "human empire" of the Senate. (To be continued...)
