Next, Zhu Beiguo's tone became a little more serious:

"Everyone, for this new world, we are newcomers, since we are newcomers, we should have the consciousness of newcomers, don't make enemies on all sides as soon as we play, okay?

Remember, we are here to do business, not to fight, and everyone understands the principle of making money in harmony, right? In short, this is the original intention of quietly entering the village and shooting without shooting......"

Then, Li Junming followed the topic of Zhu Beiguo and explained to everyone that although it is business, it is by no means unprincipled to only do business and not speak.

Li Chun-ming said: We should actively engage with the Macao authorities, and we should clearly show our own propositions, which can be summed up in eight words:

"The door is open, and the interests are equal!".

Li Junming further explained that, to put it simply, these eight words mean only one: free trade!

We should hold high the banner of free trade, oppose mercantilism and unilateralism, actively advocate the concept of multilateral, equal and open free trade, and actively promote the formation of this trade pattern in the waters of the South China Sea.

Obviously, we are speaking to the Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, and all the merchants who do business in Macao, and as for the local indigenous kingdoms, they do not understand them at all, and they do not want to listen to them, because these kingdoms are still in the era of heavy agriculture and suppression of commerce. So, our strategy against these countries will be very different.

Of course, for the time being, because we are very lacking in strength and connections in this new world, there is no doubt that Taoguang is the keynote to make a fortune in obscurity.

Therefore, in the early stage, we should try not to be involved in the disputes and contradictions between the various forces in the region, and we should unite all the forces that can be united, especially the relatively weak Portuguese, and at the same time actively attract and solicit businessmen from various countries to do business with us, so as to obtain all kinds of resources for industrial construction, including labor, and then pry open up the market of the entire South Seas......

After everyone listened to Zhu and Li's speeches, many people applauded, and then began to talk about it.

Many people think that what Zhu Li said is very reasonable, our current strength really can't easily get involved in the disputes of various countries, to be exact, we now need to go into the village to buy food and buy flower girls, oh no, it's to earn silver and import labor by the way, so the drama of pretending to slap the face and killing the Quartet at the beginning is only the plot in the YY novel that primary school students are interested in, we are all adults, let's be mature......

Many people are very interested in Macao, they think that this city is backed by the mainland, and now the mainland is not peaceful, Macao is relatively peaceful, and it is a port, and the economy is relatively prosperous, so there must be many Han people who go to Macao to beg for a living, and after we go there, we should try to recruit more of these people to get on our ship.

However, some people immediately retorted that it was almost impossible, and that no one would be stupid enough to venture out to sea with a group of strange strangers, and put yourself in the shoes of you, would you follow someone else to sea after listening to a lot of rhetoric?

A group of people responded that this sounds like the truth, and then many people opened their brains and discussed:

"Otherwise, let's go to the human traffickers in Macau, there should be people who do this kind of business......"

"Maybe, but you still need to open up channels through networking!"

"This time I guess it's enough, we first arrived in a strange place, and there must be a process of getting to know each other......

As a result, the topic of everyone diverged, and everyone was actively speaking on the question of how to import labor.

At this time, Ren Ke even volunteered to say that if everyone believed him, he would be willing to live in Macao for a long time, deepen his contacts in Macao, and try to bribe Tatar officials on the mainland, so as to finally create a population export and smuggling channel.

Everyone responded after hearing this, for your safety, forget it, you are also a non-ferrous metal refining professional in our group, although you are not interested in leading troops to fight, but no matter what, our future career needs you to live well, as for the job of being a human trafficker, it is better to leave it to someone else.

"Can't I be a trade representative? Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Commonwealth of Australia to Macau ......"

Ren Ke retorted a little unconvinced.

So a few others sneered and responded to him, "Are you a girl in this name?" At that time, you are far away from the emperor, and no one can control you, and it is not made by yourself?

Well, I heard that the brothels in Macau are quite high-end, and many of them are mixed-race......

As some of the latter rhetoric became more and more unbearable, Ren Ke listened to the great urgency, and hurriedly interrupted these conversations and changed the topic and said, then who are you going to hand over to do this?

Which of you is capable of working as a human trafficker? Let's not talk about the second brother! Fifty steps and a hundred steps, who is not like this?

At this time, there was one person in the crowd who said a word, so that everyone was speechless:

"If you want me to say, send someone with a wife......"

"What are you talking about? If you have a wife, you won't be looking for a mistress in Macau?! ”

Someone in the crowd replied angrily.

"That's it! Then it's better to send a single dog, at least it won't break up the family......"

"Actually, Brother Zhu is a doctor of history, and he still specializes in the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so sending Brother Zhu is a professional counterpart."

"Hey! Don't say that, be careful that Sister Cao kills you with her eyes! ”

Someone next to him immediately whispered a reminder of the open-mouthed person.

At this time, Dr. Zhu smiled and said nothing, turned his head to look at Cao Limei, who was sitting in the women's pile, the latter had a grim face, but on the surface he still looked unfazed, Zhu Beiguo immediately said in his heart that it was not good, his wife had just passed the pregnancy recently, and she might have postpartum depression or something, in short, all kinds of psychological and physiological reactions were a little big.

Thinking of this layer, he quickly shook his hand and said loudly, impossible, impossible, impossible! I want to stay at home to take care of my wife and give birth to children, whether I want to go on this trip to Macau or not, what do I do as a representative of Raushzi? It's better to be free......

At this time, Lawyer Li, who was standing next to him, also quickly stood up and replied, in fact, if you don't work for Ke to go out, the Portuguese will be willing to do the work of human traffickers---- if the price is right, don't forget, we still have foreign aid - isn't that Pimont?

Moreover, I heard that the Portuguese had a good relationship with the Tartar court, and I also heard that many firearms in the Qing army were obtained from Macao.

In short, we don't need to go out in person, and we probably don't need to send people to Macao to be stationed in Macau...... As long as we make an appointment for an approximate time, when the time comes, they will send a boat to receive them, and the people trafficked by the traffickers are mainly men, there are very few women, and all of them are crooked melons and cracked dates......

Li Junming also glanced at Xia Xiaoou in the ladies group when he said this, obviously saying this to his wife.

Zhu Beiguo heard Li Junming say this, and immediately changed the topic, he quickly nodded and added, population introduction should indeed be able to cooperate with the Macao authorities, after all, people have been deeply cultivated there for a hundred years, Macao's special geographical location, the Portuguese in Macao left and right, has always maintained a good relationship with the Ming and Qing Dynasty, I think that at the beginning, when the Great Tomorrow Qi Chongzhen Dynasty, those Hongyi cannons were sold to the Ming by the Portuguese.

Xu Guangqi, do you know? Back then, Lao Xu specially invited dozens of Portuguese soldiers from Macao to Shandong to help the imperial court train the firearms battalion in Dengzhou!

Later, when the Portuguese officers were killed or injured in the Tartar fight, Emperor Chongzhen also gave a large amount of silver to the pension, and ordered the deceased to "support the coffin and return to the south", which is recorded in history.

Later, during the Yongli Imperial Court, the Southern Ming army also purchased military supplies in Macao.

It was not until after the Qing army occupied Guangzhou that the Macao authorities maintained a special transportation channel for arms and Western goods with the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, a bit like the green channel. Because the Macao authorities would also supply the Qing army with all kinds of firearms and goods from Europe, the Qing court was quite friendly to Macao, and of course, the two sides were also mutually beneficial.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Macau has a very good relationship with the local vassal king Shang Kexi, and also helped Shang Kexi to "connect the private market to the sea", although this matter was impeached by the imperial court's officials, but whether it was Shunzhi or Kangxi, in order to win over the vassal king, they turned a blind eye to it.

It was not until the rebellion of the three feudatories was put down that Macao was directly connected with the Qing court, and by that time, the two foreign trade objects of the Kangxi Dynasty, the Netherlands and Macao, each accounted for half of the trade with China.

As for the Ming Dynasty, the relationship was even better, when Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty also converted his crown prince and queen to Christianity, so the Macau Church also sent troops to help the Southern Ming fight.

According to the notes and writings of the Qing Dynasty and the remnants of the late Ming Dynasty, I once saw the firearms army composed of foreigners holding high crosses and crusader flags in the battle formation of the Southern Ming army.

There are also historical records that just a while ago, the Portuguese did business with the Ming and Qing dynasties, selling cannons cheaply to the Qing court, squeezing out the business of the Dutch, which angered the Dutch, and the relationship between the two sides was very tense.

In a word, since the Macao authorities are so sinister that they do not miss any opportunity to do business, then there is no reason why they should not help us to do business......
