From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 783

Different identities and different situations, so Zhou Yuan's mentality was different when he met Kolodiya again this time.

He was confident enough to defeat the other party, and he fully believed that the only way for the other party at present was himself.

Kolodiya was not panicked. As a person who had been drifting in the complex political whirlpool for a long time, she was used to all kinds of dirty transactions, and transactions between men and women were the most common among them.

She just frowned and said, "Master Zhou Yuan, Ms. Li Yu'an came with you, right? Aren't you afraid that I will tell her all this?"

Zhou Yuan said, "She will only sit next to me and eat fruit and watch the fun."

Kolodiya was silent. Recalling that bright woman, she seemed to think that Zhou Yuan was right.

Ms. Li Yu'an was too good to the man in front of her, so good that it could not be understood by common sense.

So she said calmly: "But I am not so easy to get. At least you must fulfill what you promised."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Madam, you are wrong. Whether there is a chance to get you or not, I will definitely fulfill what I promised."

"Women are pursuits for me, but not forced."

"Next, please talk about business, about the situation at sea, about the basic situation on your side."

He looked at Kolodiya and said: "I believe that even at this point, you still have a pretty good information channel. At least you have someone in Haojing, otherwise how would you know that McPherson's strength has greatly increased."

Kolodiya was a little depressed. Compared with the last meeting, Lord Zhou Yuan gave people a lot more pressure, and spoke more confidently. His eyes seemed to see through people's hearts.

He said softly: "Well... the world situation is very complicated, but also very simple."

"Among the countries we know so far, the one with the strongest navy should be... the Netherlands."

"They have a large number of sailing warships, large scale, advanced technology, rich tactics, and excellent quality."

"It's just that their focus is not in the East, so the warships they sent are not many, nor are they strong. There are only a few large ships, but they still occupy your Dongfan Island."

Zhou Yuan nodded slowly. This information was not unexpected to him. After all, in the early seventeenth century in his previous life, the Netherlands also had the title of "Sea Coachman" and its navy was extremely powerful.

Kolodia continued: "Spain is an old naval power. Although it has been surpassed by the Netherlands, it still has a good power. It is very competitive in our West and is a force that cannot be ignored."

"Great Britain is still strong. Although they are often underestimated, they actually defeated the Spanish Invincible Armada decades ago."

"France is also strong. They even have five-deck broadside warships, which are the largest warships in the world, but... they don't seem to be very good at fighting."

Zhou Yuan pondered. At present, the situation in Europe is similar to that in the 17th century in his previous life, but it is slightly mixed, showing a trend of heroes rising together.

As for the Great Jin, it is a pity. Before Emperor Shun, the naval power was the best in the world. But after Emperor Shun banned the sea, the shipping industry declined rapidly, the navy gradually shrank, and the strength declined too much.

If not, how could the island pirates have the courage to invade the southeast coast and shuttle on the sea with those small turtle ships?

Kolodia continued, "Our Portuguese fleet is not very strong. We are just very good at maritime trade and exploration, and have a considerable degree of self-protection capabilities."

"But our sailing warships have developed to the stage where they are covered with iron sheets. It is not realistic for Dajin to catch up in a short time."

"Lord Zhou Yuan, as a Portuguese, I have to remind you that the ships built by Fuzhou Baochuan Factory are just based on the model of the Haojing battleship. This does not represent the most superior level of the current era."

"If all the Western navies come, you can't stop them."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "I admit this fact, But there is one thing, that is, even if they come, they can only show off their power at sea, and they will never dare to invade on land. "

"Dajin is safe, at least to a certain extent, as long as I am here."

Kolodiya was a little anxious: "Lord Zhou Yuan, I am not kidding, they are really back, no one can resist the temptation of gold."

Zhou Yuan said: "I am not kidding either. If it was two years ago, I might be very worried, but now... at least I can have the final say on land."

"Ms. Kolodiya, wait patiently, I think you will have the opportunity to be proud of yourself, in the near future."

"You will be the governor-general of Macau, and you will also be the richest in Portugal.'s woman. "

Kolodiya spread her hands, and although she couldn't help laughing, she still said: "Lord Zhou Yuan, you still have the habit of making empty promises, but considering that you are now the prince of Dajin, I am of course happy to get such a promise. "

Zhou Yuan said seriously: "Western textile technology has far surpassed Dajin, and I am worried about this... So, I hope to get this black silk on your leg..."

"Don't look at me like that, ma'am, I'm serious, I want to give it to our Dajin craftsmen and let them study it carefully."

Kolodiya said: "I'll get you a new one."

"No need, this one is good."

Zhou Yuan stuttered a little: "A new one is too wasteful, I... I, I am very frugal, um, this one."

Kolodiya sighed helplessly and said softly: "Can I borrow your coat, Lord Zhou Yuan? "

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, and took off his clothes and gave them to her.

Kolodiya spread the clothes on the ground, then took off her shoes, and stepped on the clothes with her small and delicate jade feet wrapped in black silk.

Ah? You are playing this? My clothes are worth three taels of silver! Spendthrift woman!

He stared at the legs and dared not speak.

Kolodiya gently lifted her skirt, revealing her slender and straight legs.

The calves are very thin, but the thighs are fleshy, just like Qinshui, with typical conical legs.

But her flesh is firmer than Qinshui's, and she looks more powerful.

Kolodiya Very skillfully, she just lifted the skirt to the thigh area, and then reached in with her hands.

Zhou Yuan heard the sound of the buckle breaking open - it was a garter stocking!

He widened his eyes, wanting to appreciate the textile craftsmanship at the forefront of this era, for the rise of domestic products.

With slender fingers, Kolodiya gently buckled the upper edge of the stockings, like peeling a banana skin, the thin layer of stockings was peeled off, revealing the plump white flesh inside.

Finally, she handed the hot stockings to Zhou Yuan and whispered: "Lord Zhou Yuan is interested in textile craftsmanship, so I should satisfy you."

Zhou Yuan felt the temperature and delicate texture on it, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Actually, I am also interested in fishing, and I like to study shellfish and clams..."

Kolodiya tilted her head and said: "So please cheer for Lord Zhou Yuan, the ocean is still controlled by McPherson now."

Zhou Yuan nodded, and suddenly said: "Madam, when will Dai Si turn 18? I plan to give her a coming-of-age gift. "

Kolodiya's face changed, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth and said, "I think...she may not need Lord Zhou Yuan's gift!"

Zhou Yuan shook his head helplessly. He saw that Kolodiya was obviously thinking wrongly.

As a well-known gentleman, Zhou Yuan never had any wrong thoughts about Dai Si. It was just imposed by the Virgin Sister to tease her.
