Chapter 392: Felisa's Ambition (2)
Of course, Acuña was definitely unwilling to bow his head to Guo Zhiyuan like this, and said forcefully: "We can find a silver mine, it is because we are lucky enough, the trade price must be lowered!" Otherwise, we will cut off trade and stop buying your goods!" ……”
Guo Zhiyuan shrugged indifferently and said, "Okay! Then stop trading! Last year, the weather was abnormal, there were frosts in many places in our interior, and the production of tea was reduced, and I was worried about organizing the supply of goods, and now it is time to rest...... "After speaking, I really stood up and left without looking back."
The Spaniards looked at each other, and Acuña was so angry that he slammed the table hard and scolded: "Bastard! He has always thought highly of himself, but he was pinched to death by Guo Zhiyuan, a young man, how could he not be depressed!
In the end, the Spaniards had no choice but to launch a beauty offensive again, and let Felisha go to Guo Zhiyuan, Guo Zhiyuan saw that Felisha was indeed a little weak-hearted, although he kept the bottom line yesterday, but this touched and touched, kissed and kissed, and he was not so cheeky when he wanted to treat him as if nothing happened, Felisha pouted when he saw him: "Guo, they all say that your China is a country of etiquette, we came so far to Dongfu, but you refused to give in at all, it is too unkind!" ……”
Guo Zhiyuan smiled a little embarrassedly: "Am I not hospitable enough?" Treat you with good food and lodging, as for the matter of reducing the price of trade, there is really no way, this is not my business alone, this is related to the interests of many people, I can't give in! ……”
Felisa looked at Guo Zhiyuan with a resentful expression, and said coquettishly: "Even if it's for me, aren't you willing to make a little concession?" ……”
This is obviously a proposition, Guo Zhiyuan is not easy to answer, suddenly his heart moved, through the contact in the past few days, he found that Felisa is far from being as simple as it seems, in fact, she is a very ambitious woman, so he smiled slightly: "Felisa, I said that we will always be friends, but are you sure to waste our friendship on this kind of thing?" Even if I were willing to make concessions, would there be any direct benefit to you? ……”
Felisa frowned and asked with some confusion, "Guo, what exactly do you want to say?" ……”
Guo Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Your father, His Excellency the Governor of Acunia, is about to take office, once His Excellency the Governor of Acuña leaves, where will you go?" As far as I know, your father's predecessor, His Excellency Governor Francisco, did not seem to have ended well? ……”
This is exactly the sore spot of Felisa, the Spanish governor of Manila is undoubtedly a fat poor, everyone covets, so the successive governors of Manila will have to accept the departure review of the special court after leaving office, and at this time those who are in this position and those who have offended will jump out and fall into the ground, Acuña's predecessor Francisco is the best example, he offended too many officials and priests during his tenure, and as a result, he was troubled by the special court when he left the review, and finally died of illness in Manila.
Once Acuña leaves office, Felisa suddenly changed from the daughter of the honorable governor to an ordinary Spanish citizen, if Acuña can successfully pass the departure review of the special court, it is fine, if not, then Felisa is really a phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken, and most of them will be reduced to the play of some nobleman. Thing!
Thinking of this, Felisa's face suddenly became very ugly, and she didn't realize that her nails were deeply pinched into the flesh of her palms, she would never want to see herself fall into such an ending, and she would never let her fate be controlled by others!
Seeing Felisa's expression, Guo Zhiyuan knew that his words had worked, and said: "Felisa, I cherish our friendship very much, so I am willing to make concessions for you and reduce our trade price by one percent, but the premise is that you must be responsible for the trade between us in the future!" ……”
Felisa looked at Guo Zhiyuan in surprise, suddenly hugged him tightly, and kissed him on the mouth with her delicate red lips, Guo Zhiyuan stiffened there a little at a loss, but Felisha took the initiative to let go of him, said thank you and left without looking back!
It is unknown how Felisa persuaded Acuña, and in the end the Spaniards agreed to Guo Zhiyuan's proposal and reached a new trade negotiation agreement. Although Miguel had some opinions about letting Felisa be in charge of trade with China in the future, Guo Zhiyuan agreed that he would set up a church in Dongfan, and that he would have gained something from preaching in Dongfan, and Acuña was still the governor, and the royal city guard was also in the hands of Thomas, so even if he objected, it would not have much effect, so in the end he could only acquiesce.
Even Guo Zhiyuan did not expect that his seemingly unintentional move completely changed Felisa's fate, and even changed the history of Spain, after Felisa became the head of trade between Manila and China, she gradually stepped onto her political stage, from a governor who only knew how to have fun transformed into an ambitious strong woman, she used her beauty and money and power through trade to buy off the officers of the Spanish army in Luzon, and gradually grasped the military power, and she rose to prominence after Acuña left the governorshipto become the first female viceroy in the history of Spain!
And her ambition is far more than that, after becoming the governor, she used her excellent communication skills to gradually establish her influence among the Spanish nobility, and finally staged a coup d'état and became the queen of Spain! A legend has been written! This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
Sent the Spaniards away, Guo Zhiyuan also breathed a sigh of relief, he was able to reach a new trade agreement with the Spaniards, Dongfan would not have to worry about external troubles in a short time, he must seize this precious time, let Dongfan's strength go to a higher level, otherwise the Spaniards will not be so easy to send when they threaten the door again!
However, there is still a major event that Guo Zhiyuan needs to pay attention to, that is, the triennial township examination is coming, and Dongfan Academy has been established for three years, Hong Chengchou and his group of scholars have been studying in Dongfan Academy for three years, and now it is time to test the results, so Guo Zhiyuan is ready to send them to participate in the township examination in Fujian Province!
Although the current Dongfan Academy has a small reputation in the southeast coast, there is still a lot of gap between it and those famous academies in the country, after all, this kind of thing can not be accumulated in a short time, if the scholars of Dongfan Academy can get good results in the township examination in Fujian Province, it will definitely be of great help to start the name of Dongfan Academy, so Guo Zhiyuan is also bound to win!
