November 14th, 1712.
This day was undoubtedly a disgrace to the Qing Dynasty and the Qing people.
In the Qing Dynasty, countless people took to the streets to protest against the humiliating treaty signed by the Qing court. However, they were mercilessly suppressed by the Qing Kangxi Emperor himself.
Even the Chinese workers in America, far away across the ocean, hated such humiliation.
The second Anglo-French invasion started on October 14, 1708 and ended on October 14, 1712.
England and France officially signed the Capital Convention with the Qing court.
Until November 14th, 1712.
The treaty was officially signed.
Qing Ying's "Capital Convention" stipulated as follows.
1. Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty confirmed the validity of the Qingying's Tianmen Convention;
2. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty gave the Nine Dragon Peninsula to the British Empire.
3. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty opened Jinmen as a commercial port;
4. Increase the compensation for the Qingying's "Tianjin Convention" to 8 million taels of silver;
5. Allow Western missionaries to rent land and build churches in the Qing Dynasty;
6. Allow foreign merchants to hire Han Chinese to work overseas as cheap laborers (coolies).
Zhu Shengkai sighed as he looked at the various provisions of the Capital Pact.
Only he knew that in this world, even the Kangxi Dynasty had begun to be humiliated.
"The suffering of the Chinese workers abroad has begun.”
At this moment, Zhu Shengkai sighed.
As for why Zhu Shengkai said that.
He locked his gaze on the last message.
The Qing court allowed foreign merchants to recruit Han Chinese to work overseas as coolies.
Although many Han Chinese had been tricked by foreigners to leave the country before this, it was all in secret.
It couldn't be said openly.
In today's international society, other than the sale of slaves, the sale of other people was not recognized.
However, with the signing of the Capital Pact, Han people were recruited to work overseas.
It sounded nice, but in fact, it was just an excuse for foreign merchants to buy and sell Han people as slaves.
With this thought in mind, the Han people who went overseas to work were treated even worse than black slaves.
Because they were cheap, because they were cheap.
From then on, foreign merchants could recruit Han Chinese to work overseas in the Qing Dynasty.
He no longer had to do it secretly like before.
Zhu Shengkai knew that hundreds of thousands of Han people would be openly sold to America to work as cheap slaves.
They were worse off than black slaves.
At least, the black slaves were bought by the white slave owners for hundreds or thousands of dollars.
It was expensive.
But the Chinese workers were different.
In the eyes of the white slave owners, there were many Chinese workers anyway. If a batch died, they could buy another batch at a low price.
Although Zhu Shengkai sighed, he still thought that this was his chance.
North America's Ming Corporation could openly go to the Qing Dynasty to recruit Han Chinese as a foreign company.
"In the original world, in the original history, countless Han Chinese workers died in America.”
"This world, which has a completely different timeline from my previous life, is about to embark on the path of my previous life.”
"However, Big Ming will completely transform this world! To avoid everything that would happen hundreds of years later!”
"Big Ming is here!"
Zhu Shengkai's eyes reflected the light of the furnace, and the flame seemed to be burning in his pupils.
"In the future, the Han people in America will no longer suffer as far as the Ming Dynasty can see.”
"Men, summon Chen Chang!"
Following Zhu Shengkai's order, the captain of the 10,000-ton oil tankers, the Great Ming Royal, Chen Chang, came to Zhu Shengkai.
"Your Majesty!"
Chen Chang solemnly saluted Zhu Chengkai.
"Chen Qing, Zhen has a mission for you!”
Zhu Chengkai looked at Chen Chang, who was wearing a white military uniform.
"I will do my best to complete it!"
Chen Chang bowed slightly and said loudly.
"I appoint you as the chief captain of North America's Great Ming Ocean Transportation Company. You will lead four ships of the shipping company to the Qing Dynasty!”
"Recruit Han people, come to America, come to my Great Ming!”
"Can you do this?"
"I will definitely do my best to complete it!"
Chen Chang repeated what he said earlier.
"Very good, don't let me down.”
"Go do it."
"I'll give you 20,000 US dollars.”
Zhu Shengkai said and closed his eyes.
"I will take my leave."
Chen Chang said as he retreated from Zhu Chengkai's bedroom.
On the surface, Zhu Shengkai seemed to have closed his eyes, but his mind was already immersed in the system.

Counting the Chinese workers who had been whipped in Da Ming Company, Da Ming's population reached 4,000 people.
And because of Da Ming's reputation spreading in Los Angeles.
Currently, Zhu Shengkai had 12,000 cultural points.
The new city had bought all kinds of machinery and factory equipment from Los Angeles.
All kinds of factories were also set up.
The industrial foundation had been laid out.
It was time to light up some advanced technology in the system's technology tree.
He did some research in the technology tree.
Zhu Shengkai took a fancy to a few techniques.
[Chemistry: Arphanamin Purification Technique: 2,000 cultural points.
Chemistry: Purification technology of Penicilin: 10,000 cultural points.
These were two types of pharmaceutical techniques.
Arsphenamin was a chemical drug that was discovered in 1908. It was usually used to treat sexually transmitted diseases, which was also known as malaria.
In this day and age, malaria was also an incurable disease, and drugs had not been discovered yet.
There was a case of rabies in every country in the world. In fact, in the beginning, there was no rabies in Europe, China, and other continents.
However, with the discovery of the American continent, the symptoms of malaria were also spread.
The sexually transmitted disease, Systant, was very contagious.
And now, America, where Zhu Shengkai was located, was a place with a high incidence of malaria.
If the news of a drug that could treat malaria spread, patients from all over the world would probably flock to it.
However, there was a 'but' here.
Arsphenamin was not as effective in the treatment of malaria as penicillin.
Penicilin was an all-purpose drug.
But why did Zhu Shengkai want to exchange for arsenamin?
Zhu Shengkai naturally had his own considerations.
Now, even if he could exchange for it, the production would not be very high due to the restrictions of the Ming New Capital.
Penicilin was a medicine that truly transcended the era. In the case where the production was not too high at the beginning, it was naturally left for Da Ming to use.
He couldn't sell it.
However, if Zhu Shengkai wanted to continue making money, then the upcoming North American Daming Pharmaceutical Company could not sell no drugs.
At this time, arsenamin would come in handy.
In this era, arseniamin, which was also a drug that surpassed the era, was sold as the main drug of the soon-to-be established North American Daming Pharmaceutical Company!
