Claviyo is not stupid.

As a Spanish envoy who had been to the Timurid Khanate, Claviyo's logic was simple -

Europe could not provoke the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire could not provoke the Timurid Khanate, and the envoys of the Ming Dynasty once asked Timur Khan in person whether he was ready to rebel and die, and Timur Khan behaved like a good grandson......

Therefore, Europe can't provoke the Ming Dynasty, and he, the former envoy of Spain, can't provoke the governor of the South China Sea of the Ming Empire.

Based on this premise, the rest of the things are much easier.

Yang Shaofeng hoped that Claviyo could fool more European merchant ships to transit to Daming through the old port, and Claviyo agreed;

Yang Shaofeng hoped that Claviyo could act as an agent for some of the perfume, porcelain, tea, and silk business in Europe, and Clavieux also agreed.

Making money on the premise of not offending the governor of the South China Sea of the Ming Empire is the bottom line of Claviyo.

In other words, Claviyo's main concern now is how to get out of the Old Port alive and make it to the Ming Empire.

And Yang Shaofeng and Zhu Zhanji obviously won't waste too much energy on Claviyo.

When Claviyo's merchant ships restocked the harbor and left with a brocade guard attaché, the old port slowly returned to peace.

After all, killing is just a means, and the goal is to carry out targeted cleansing of the entire old port, so that the old port can become an important source of finance and taxation and a transit point, and it will not be thrown away by a certain loser in the future.

As soon as he thought of the loser, Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but glance at Zhu Zhanji, who was looking around with a telescope.

History says that Hu Hai, Liu Chan, Sun Hao, Yang Er, Li Longji, and Zhao Ji are losers, but in fact, this is not the case at all.

Hu Hai and Liu Chan are not strong enough to keep their ancestors' family business, Yang Er and Li Longji are those who can play and toss, and Zhao Ji is in the wrong business, and these people are not losers.

The twelve Holy Lord Mingjun who have cut the land from generation to generation are counted separately, this family can't say it, and they can't afford to provoke it, after all, there are too many dogs.

The heroes of later generations who will defeat the family support system at every turn are not counted.

The really awesome loser belongs to Zhu Zhanji, who is as jumpy as Erha.

Nurkandusi bitter cold land, throw!

Cochin rebelled year after year, throw!

It's not that he was beaten to the point of land reparations, not because the country can't support it, it's just because Zhu Zhanji, a stupid roe deer, thinks that these two places are far away and worthless, so he simply doesn't want them.

Including the old port propaganda envoy, he was also thrown away later!

In the Ming Dynasty, these thrown places have not yet shown anything, but when the later generations planted flowers and established the country, the evil consequences were revealed.

There is a natural ice-free port that can be ranked in the world, and the old port is a choke point on the sea, and Jiaozhi has been fighting with the flower growers for several years......

Of course, the officials in the court must also have some responsibility, and later the Jiannu who lived in the Central Plains was even more distressed about selling his master's land, cutting off the foreign world, measuring China's material resources, and forming a friendship with the country, how can these responsibilities not all be pushed to Zhu Zhanji, a stupid roe deer.

But in any case, these places were thrown away by this stupid roe deer when Xuande was in the ninth year, and even coined a term for this: discarding Jiaozhi.

The negative effects of "discarding Cochin" are long-term and fatal.

This incident not only hit the prestige of the Ming Dynasty in the Nanyang region, and even faintly shook the suzerainty status of the Ming Dynasty, but also the loss of Jiaozhi basically meant the loss of Nanyang, and the loss of the old port Xuanwei Division also basically meant the loss of the West.

Therefore, when it comes to losers, no one can compare to Zhu Zhanji, a stupid roe deer, it doesn't matter if he is a loser, the root cause will be buried for hundreds of years.

Thinking of this, Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but ask tentatively: "By the way, if your family is a loser in the future and says that you want to throw away the old port, what should I do?" ”

"Who dare!" Zhu Zhanji immediately exploded: "Is there such a loser in this world?" If you can't kill him, it's light! ”

"Huh."

……

"The front is the ancient land stuffy, here is rich in sandalwood, Zhao Boke's "Zhufan Zhi" called the bottom of the be, which contains: sandalwood from Java and Madura to the east, scattered in the islands, the more east wood more and the better the quality, as for the bottom of the more beautiful and beautiful,...... The west of Java produces very little, and its quality is very poor. ”

As he got closer and closer to Guli, Zheng He began to introduce this place to Yang Shaofeng and Zhu Zhanji: "Wang Huanzhang's "Daoyi Luozhi" is not called the bottom but is called the Guli land, which contains: Guli is stuffy in the northeast of Garo, the mountains are no different from wood, only the sandalwood tree is the most prosperous, and the silver, iron, bowl, Western silk cloth, and color silk are the trade goods.

In the seventh year of Yongle, when our family went to sea for the third time, we passed through this place and found that it was consistent with the bottom of Zhao Boke's "Zhufan Chronicles" and the Guli land contained in Wang Huanzhang's "Daoyi Luozhi".

There were chiefs here, and the fields were suitable for growing cereals, but the climate was harsh, the days were very hot and the nights were cold, and the men and women wore short hair, short garments made of kapok, and a piece of cloth was tied around their waists, most of which were made of Champa, but the chiefs used silk.

The tribal chiefs here are greedy and lustful, and when they get drunk, they sleep without a quilt on their heads, and there is no harm to men and women, and women do not value chastity.

In addition, when the weather is calm, at dusk, the natives begin to sing and dance, and when night falls, they light torches and continue to sing and dance. ”

As the shore got closer and closer, Yang Shaofeng, Zhu Zhanji and others were already able to see the situation on the shore from a distance—they didn't see the singing and dancing, but the natives on the shore had begun to slowly surround the port, their mouths didn't know what they were saying, and their fingers were still gesturing.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but be a little curious: "What are they doing here?" ”

Zheng He picked up the binoculars and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is at ease." This is the natives who saw the fleet again, and thought of trading with the fleet. ”

Yang Shaofeng suddenly said: "What are you trading?" ”

Zheng He's face showed a hint of discomfort for the first time: "I used to exchange some silk, porcelain and other things with the natives for some sandalwood, which is probably similar to what the champion did when he was in the border city. ”

As soon as he heard this, Yang Shaofeng probably understood-pit people, he pit Tatars and Warats in the border city, Zheng He pit Guli stuffy natives overseas, no one should laugh at anyone.

Facts have proved that Yang Shaofeng's guess was right.

For the arrival of Zheng He's fleet, the Guli people showed great enthusiasm, and the chieftain wearing a short shirt and a piece of silk around his waist led the crowd to greet him, and asked people to bring out a large pile of sandalwood.

Then Yang Shaofeng and Zhu Zhanji saw with their own eyes how Zheng He cheated people.

If you put it in Daming, you can get one or two bowls for a penny, and you can exchange it for a small pile of sandalwood here.

It can make clothes for the four-legged gold-swallowing beast in Yang Shaofeng's house, and it is a cloth of not very good quality, so you can exchange it for a lot of sandalwood here.

As for silk, it is also only enough for the four-legged gold-swallowing beast to make clothes, and here you can exchange it for two large piles of sandalwood.

Yes, these natives don't have the concept of catties, taels, rulers, and inches, and sandalwood can be sold for one or two silver with a little processing in Daming, which is based on "heaps" here.

And the natives are still full of appearances that take advantage of it.

Looking at Zheng He, who was reluctant on his face, and the smiling natives, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but whisper: "This is overseas trade?" ”

Yang Shaofeng nodded and replied, "Didn't you see it all?" Zheng Gonggong looks like he has suffered a big loss, and the natives look like they have a big bargain, and they are actually all happy, isn't it good? ”

Glancing at the hillside not far away, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but shake his head and said, "If one day, all the sandalwood here is cut down, what will these natives do?" ”

"What the hell is going on with you? What the hell is going on with me? ”

Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but snort, and mocked: "The people of Daming are all full of food and drink? Got all the clothes to wear? Have books to read? You're just salty and don't worry about eating turnips! ”

After the ridicule, Yang Shaofeng continued: "Also, don't you know the truth that scarcity is expensive? If Gonggong Zheng exchanges the things of the entire fleet for sandalwood, this sandalwood will be worthless, and it will not be sold at a price if it is shipped back to Daming, do you think he is stupid? ”

Zhu Zhanji glanced at Zheng He, who began to laugh with the natives, shook his head and said, "Probably only these natives will treat him as a fool, right?" ”

"Isn't this the end of it?"

Yang Shaofeng asked rhetorically, and then continued: "Now the foolish natives who treat Zheng Gonggong as a fool are very happy, you don't think about those who have or don't, maybe these natives will thank Zheng Gonggong." ”

Jiang Xinlong answered in a timely manner: "What the master said is right, just now the local chieftain over there said that he was grateful to Gonggong Zheng for bringing porcelain and silk from thousands of miles away, and they were very satisfied." ”

Zhu Zhanji stupidly looked at the natives who had already begun to sing and dance, and then at the fleet soldiers who began to carry sandalwood to the ship, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Then let them continue to be happy."

By the way, when we go back to Daming, we must persuade the emperor's grandfather to increase his investment in the school, I am afraid that one day the people of Daming will be cheated like this. ”

Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but sigh and said, "Turning a year and shaking a year, fate; Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, thank you! ”

With a poof, Zhu Zhanji, who had already known about the stretcher and wheelchair in the pit of the Korean king Li Yu, suddenly sprayed all the wine he had just drunk, coughed for a long time, and then pointed at Yang Shaofeng and said, "You will arrange it like this!" ”

Yang Shaofeng said: "Europa, you know, it is the hometown of Gargamel and Claviyo, where the indulgences that are now selling hot are the real pit!" ”

Zhu Zhanji doubted: "Indulgences? This is the second time I've heard this term, right? What the hell is this thing for? ”

Yang Shaofeng said: "If, I mean, if a bald donkey or a bull's nose comes to you and says that a piece of talisman paper can wash away all the sins you created when you were alive and ensure that you can enter the heavenly court after you die, will you believe it?" ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "I will let him die first!" ”
