"I said the third child, what is this?"

Looking at the rows of names and nationalities on the booklet in his hand, Li Chengming suddenly couldn't help but look confused and puzzled.

"I don't care if you're coercing or luring me, even if it's kidnapping or coercion by the army, you have to get the people here back to me!"

In Li Chengming's puzzled eyes, Wang Bing ordered with an unprecedented seriousness and solemnity.

"Uh, I'm talking about the third child. Could it be that these people are all the beauties who have won the title of Europa? Hehehehehe!"

Seeing Wang Bing's serious and solemn look, Li Chengming, who was confused just now, couldn't help but smile with a 'wretched' look on his face.

"You old dandy, you will die from exhaustion on a woman's belly sooner or later. I'm telling you business, you damn well know women..."

Glancing at Li Chengming, the 'old dude', Wang Bing couldn't help but be speechless.

"Uncle Li, let me show my nephew what kind of beauty in Europe can make dad spend so much effort to find it, hehehehe..."

Just when Wang Bing was speechless at Li Chengming, the 'old dude', when he heard Li Chengming's joking words, Wang Hui couldn't help but approach Li Chengming with a playful smile.

"Haha, except when the third child chased our eldest sister, we have never seen him so enthusiastic. Let us see it too!"

Well, with Wang Hui, the 'traitor', taking the lead, all the generals of the Yulin Guards and the Shenji Battalion surrounded Li Chengming.

"The Dutch Janssen, the Italian Galileo, the Dutch Liebersy, the French Jean-Baptiste, the Italian Blanca... Hey, dad, this doesn't look like a woman's name either!"

Reading the names in the pamphlet that clearly didn't look like women, Wang Hui couldn't help but look at his father with a smile on his face.

"You traitor, don't learn from that 'old dude'. When did you and I become like that and act like a stallion all day long? I am doing business, recruiting talents for the Ming Dynasty! I know what is important in this world.

The most precious thing is talent..."

After laughing and scolding his "traitor", Wang Bing then opened his mouth to explain to everyone the people on the list.

You must know that whether it is a family or a country, the most important wealth is not gold and silver, but talents. Only with sufficient talent reserves can the family or country embark on a virtuous cycle and become stronger and stronger.

Therefore, since occupying Seville, inspired by the 'Paperclip Plan' of the previous life 'Eagle Sauce', Wang Bing also formulated a Ming Dynasty version of the 'Paperclip Plan' with the same purpose.

However, although he has one more life experience than ordinary people, he was just an ordinary "social animal" in his last life. Apart from some familiar names he knew when he was in school, he worked hard for life all day long.

He was so busy that he would never pay attention to those foreign scientists or experts from hundreds of years ago.

Therefore, in addition to the list he had painstakingly recalled in this booklet, he could only take the opportunity to 'comb' Madrid to see if he could discover some talents.

"This brochure is just what I can think of...well, it's just some talents that I have heard about temporarily. You should also ask more about it when the time comes. Three hundred and sixty industries, no matter which industry they are in, as long as they are in various fields

If you have skills, no matter which country you are from, even if you just heard about them, you should find out for me."

"In addition, there are also those books and classics, don't worry about whether they are useful or not, pack them all for us and take them back together when the time comes..."

Finally, not only the talents, but Wang Bing was also interested in these European books and classics.

"I said, Third Brother, we are outsiders after all and are not familiar with Europe. Why don't we let those local snakes help us find and collect them, such as the Portuguese and the Dutch."

After the joke, Li Chengming, whose IQ returned, couldn't help but roll his eyes and gave Wang Bing an idea.

"Well, this method is indeed feasible. However, these Xiyi ghosts are very realistic and have no actual benefits..."

After hearing Li Chengming's suggestion, Wang Bing couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

"Hey, don't worry, Third Brother! Didn't you say that these porcelains are luxuries that are even more expensive than gold in Europe? With these 'top-quality' porcelains as bait, I'm not afraid they won't be tempted..."

Well, just now it was a middle-grade junk product produced by a private kiln, but now it has become a 'top-grade' porcelain in an instant.

…

"Two governors, what do you think of these porcelains? Are they still pleasing to the eye?"

On this day, while Conde and Van Linberg came to the palace to discuss with Wang Bing the signing of a "peace treaty" with the Spanish, Li Chengming also temporarily put aside the matter of counting the property of the Spanish palace and led the two to the special palace again.

Visit to the palace furnished with porcelain.

"Exquisite, beautiful! These were purchased by Felipe II from the Ming Dynasty with a lot of money. Each piece is a unique and unique art treasure in the world..."

After hearing Li Chengming's inquiry, Kong and Fan, who had already been dazzled by it, regarded these "bargains" in the eyes of Li Chengming, Wang Bing and other Ming generals as peerless treasures without even thinking.

'A bunch of old haters, if I really want to show you those good things, they will have to become gods, hahahaha...'

Seeing the performance of the two of them, Li Chengming couldn't help but laugh secretly and contemptuously in his heart.

"You two and we are old friends who have never known each other before... It's just a small gift, but it shows our sincerity!"

Just when Kong Deda and Van Linberg were fascinated by these "art treasures", Li Chengming secretly smiled and picked up two pairs of blue and white porcelain vases used for flower arrangement in the study, and handed them over to them.

"General Li, this...is this for us? This is too expensive!"

Seeing the vase handed over by Li Chengming, the two of them suddenly showed expressions of disbelief.

There is no way, although they are also the upper class nobles of Portugal and the Netherlands, and because they served as colonial governors in the Far East, they also have some 'exquisite' porcelain from the Ming Dynasty. But compared to the Spanish royal family, this 'European'

As far as the collections of rich people are concerned, the porcelain in their hands is much inferior.

Therefore, facing Li Chengming's sudden and generous gift, the two of them were naturally flattered.

"Haha, it's just two pairs of vases. I'm just showing generosity to others! What's more, I also want to ask you for help with some small things..."

…

"It's done, Third Brother! As for Jansen and Liebersy, Van Linberg will send them to us soon. In addition, they also agreed to recruit some European scientists for us..."

Seeing Kong, Fan and Li Chengming happily leaving with a pair of vases each holding a pair of vases, they also came to ask Wang Bing for credit with a smile on their faces.

Taking advantage of the "bargains" bought by Felipe II at a large price, Conde and Van Linberg readily agreed to help Ming Dynasty recruit various talents in Europe.

Of course, this is also related to Li Chengming's promise that as long as they help Daming recruit a real talent, they will sell them a piece of porcelain from Felipe II's collection at the 'cost price'.

"Haha, I can rest assured that you can do things. With you as the 'big housekeeper' here, it will be much easier for us to just deal with the war!"

Hearing Li Chengming's return, Wang Bing also laughed heartily.

At this point, the Ming Expeditionary Force's 'Paperclip' plan, or the plunder of European talent, officially began.

However, what Wang Bing didn't expect was that compared to Yingjiang's "Paperclip" plan in the original history, the Ming Dynasty version of the "Paperclip" plan he initiated was much smoother than Yingjiang's.

There is no way, in this era, China's attraction to Europeans is much stronger than the attraction of China's "Muyang dogs" in later generations.

Therefore, after hearing that he could go to the mysterious ancient Eastern country through this recruitment, there was an endless stream of talents of all kinds who came to apply. When Wang Bing finally led his army back to China, he even vacated a treasure ship.

A large transport ship came to transport these people.

"By the way, remember to bring along the family members of those who apply..."

Finally, Wang Bing spoke again, reminding Li Chengming that he wanted to bring some of the recruited talents and their families to the Ming Dynasty.

"Lao San, are you ready?"

After hearing Wang Bing's instructions, Li Chengming looked over with some uncertainty.

"Hehe, we in the Ming Dynasty waste manpower and material resources, so we can't make wedding clothes for others, right?"
