In the eyes of the Ming officials at that time, Dayuan was just an overseas wild island continent, not a place like Penghu, where the government had set up an inspection department.

The Dutch were well aware of the attitude of the Ming officials towards the generals. However, at the first time they occupied Dayuan, the Dutch used propaganda that distorted the opinions of Ming officials such as "Dayuan was the territory given to the East India Company by the Ming Emperor" to suppress the Japanese who were eyeing Dayuan, and by the way, fooled the Fujian immigrants in Dayuan.

In other words, the Dutch first forcibly stuffed the Daguan to the Ming Emperor with a mouth cannon, and then through the order of the emperor's authorization, they straightened out the logical relationship and determined the legal basis for their occupation of the Daguan.

In real history, the Dutch used this false propaganda method to determine their ownership of the big people.

However, in the plane of the traverser, the Dutch suddenly discovered it today...... I was caught up in a theory I invented.

...... If it had been admitted from the outset that the Commissar was an ownerless land, then Mr. Nouz could at least come up with a "first-come, first-served" international practice, as Van der Hagen had done at the beginning, and then use the merchant hall as evidence to squeeze out some territorial transfer fees from the traverser - this logic is valid.

However, it was precisely because the Dutch had discussed that Nouz had learned the lesson of Van der Hagen, so he took out the rotten stalk of "the emperor's grant" this time, and was ready to get something from the traversals.

Then he was slapped in the face by a simple title deed document issued by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, which, according to Dutch propaganda, must have existed.

Looking at the mocking eyes of several "Kunlun people" on the other side of the negotiation table, Nuiz knew that his trick of claiming the sovereignty of a territory without any written evidence had been seen through by the other party; These descendants of the nobility, apparently well-educated and familiar with the laws and customs, were thoroughly civilized, not natives who still kept a history on a rope.

"I hate all the exiled nobles!" Realizing that he would become more like a clown if he continued to dwell on it, Mr. Nouz could only use a small muttering to relieve his depression - since returning to the Grand Tract three days ago, nothing has gone well, and these heretics have designed every link, and they are like cats in a cage, God, this feeling is too bad.

......

After the failure of the most confident and brutal project, the subsequent commercial project negotiations have become uneventful. Everyone is a businessman, and when it comes to goods and money, they all seem very professional, and there are not so many ideological topics to play with.

The Red Hair team didn't ask too much in this regard, they didn't have cash and no goods to trade, so they didn't have much to say. Fortunately, the other party promised before that the conditions for filling the warehouse with Ming goods have not changed, and this is already the best plan for Nuiz.

The traversers who try to cast a long line to catch big fish are not too high at the price given on the in-demand goods; Including the interest on the loan, the price of raw silk is basically the same as that of the Japanese. This was in keeping with the coachmen's demands for a trade in the world, so after a slight adjustment of the variety and quantity of goods, the Dutch were satisfied to conclude the negotiation.

Cai Feiming got up first at this time, smiled and invited the Dutch to drink a cup of relaxing tea. To tell the truth, if he wasn't the only one who could speak Dutch, he would have handed over this kind of unchallenged work to his deputy: there is really no sense of accomplishment in negotiations that know all the bottom lines of the other party.

The Dutch would never have imagined that the plate of beautiful wrought iron flowers on the table of the guest room, and the black stamen stigma in the center, were actually wireless microphones - fidelity and noise reduction, with delicate sound quality, the same style as Von Timo.

After drinking a cup of relaxing tea and returning to the negotiation table, the Dutch received a list of required items handed by Cai Feiming: the first on the list was the words "foreign workers" written in Dutch.

Nuiz thought for a moment, then whispered to Van der Hagen, who was sitting next to him, before he cautiously asked, "Slave?" ”

"Cough..."Cai Feiming coughed a few times, organized the language, and then said with a righteous face: "If you insist on expressing it like this, then as a friendly and cooperative party, in line with the principle of mutual respect, we will not force you to change your idiomatic language." ”

...... Nuyiz's expression was a little dull, and after being stunned for a minute, he slowly opened his mouth and said with a constipated expression: "I firmly believe that you are the descendants of the ancient nobles in this ancient land of the East, dear Cai." Because only such aristocrats will apply powder to their faces when they go out, and do not forget to replenish the powder anytime and anywhere, just like those nobles in the Netherlands. ”

"We thank you for your appreciation." Cai Feiming could only keep a straight face at this time, pretending not to understand Nuiz's sarcasm.

"Oh, okay, let's take a look at the conditions." Finally fighting back at these hypocritical yellow-skinned aristocrats, Mr. Nuiz was in a good mood at the moment, he tapped his finger on the list, and then asked, "Slave... Well, do these foreign workers have to be all adult males? Or is it okay for both men and women? ”

"We only need strong adult males, regardless of skin color and race, and of course, the nationality cannot be Ming."

"What, regardless of skin color and race?"

Since seeing the price of "foreign workers" on the list, Mr. Nuiz, who has always looked lazy, has a golden star in front of him at this moment, as if there is a rushing river of gold passing in front of him.

Nouz, who had worked as a private clerk in Amsterdam, knew all too well about the slave trade: by robbing the Portuguese of colonies and strongholds in West Africa, the Dutch had built a series of forts in West Africa over the years.

Every year, trading ships departed from Amsterdam to exchange their goods for slaves from the Dutch Guinea Company and the West India Company, which were then shipped to the Americas.

The price of a black slave in the prime of life is 390 guilders, which is equivalent to about 100 taels of silver, while the CIF price of shipping to the Americas is 2,000 guilders, which is equivalent to 500 taels of silver, and the profit is 600%. This was the price of "goods" at the beginning of the 17th century, and what Nuiz didn't know was that in another 100 years, that figure would be doubled, and the final profit would be more than 800%.

Of course, the high costs will also be amortized to the above high profits. Normally, if one of the three slave ships made it across the ocean to Virginia, and no more than two-thirds of the slaves died on board, the slave traders would be handsome.

......

In the list given, the purchase price of each "foreign worker" is indicated, which at first glance is very low: 250 taels of silver per person.
