Soon someone recognized Francisco who was shouting, and they were surprised to find that the Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch merchants, who had been distinct just a moment ago, were already sitting together because of interests. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's Francisco who is shouting, Tineema is shameless, the Spaniards, the Portuguese and the Dutch, they are actually huddled!"

"Oh,, no wonder they didn't participate in the soap shouting just now, it turns out that the three of them want to eat the mirror in one bite, despicable and shameless!"

"Despicable, this is fraud, naked fraud!"

…………

…………

Guan Shanyue didn't expect it, and neither did everyone present, let alone know when the merchants of the three kingdoms got together. But apparently they had provoked the wrath of the crowd, for they had not left even a scrap of the other merchants.

Those who have been cut off from their financial routes are gritting their teeth, although they can't help the merchants of the Three Kingdoms, but all kinds of foul language are out of their mouths, and they don't want money anyway.

"Grass mud horse!"

"Isn't Jie Nima a bad pen!"

"Oh my mother, Francisco!"

"Forget the bastard!"

"Shameless!"

Guan Shanyue didn't care about the indignant crowd below, his mouth grinned to the root of his ears, it was six hundred catties of gold, and now at least half of the money for building the city has come out, "Three taels of gold once, three taels of gold twice, three taels of gold three times, deal!" Now, I would like to invite Mr. Nicholas and Mr. Francisco to the stage to sign the instrument of sale!"

It was the first time for Nicholas to do such a large transaction with Daning, and he was a little uncertain about Guan Shanyue's integrity, and before he put pen to paper, he still had some concerns in his heart, "Lord Guan, before signing the sales documents, please allow me to take the liberty of asking, do you really have such a large inventory of soap?" ”

Guan Shanyue was out of breath when he heard this, and after laughing enough, he pinched his waist and said without blushing and heartbeat: "Mr. Nicholas, do you want to hear a story about my honesty?" When I was younger, there was a cherry tree at home......"

Not to mention that Nicholas was stunned by the bluffing, even Francisco, an old customer, was deeply moved by Guan Shanyue's integrity.

Listening to his eloquent story, everyone didn't know that this was a familiar story in later generations, and they all believed it.

If Xiao Nizi was here, she would definitely pull his Guan Shanyue's ears and ask him, the family is poor and can't afford to eat, where did the cherry tree come from.

After the story, led by Nicholas, the warm applause in the courtyard lasted for a long time.

After signing their respective sales contracts, the moment before everyone was about to leave, Guan Shanyue suddenly threw out another bombshell.

He used a small mallet to beat the table like a drum, cleared his throat, and said in high spirits: "Don't leave yet, Guan has a lot of good news to announce, which concerns everyone." ”

Some people have already walked to the gate of the courtyard, and when they heard the good news, they thought that Daning had something new to release, so they hurriedly turned around and rushed back, pulling their necks and waiting for the next step.

Guan Shanyue didn't sell Guanzi either, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Our Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty is the most resolute and the most sympathetic emperor in the world. ”

The courtyard immediately fell silent, so quiet that you could even hear who was farting. The group of foreign businessmen all looked at each other, staring at each other with wide eyes, refusing to be the first to eat the crab. However, it is clear that those who have small eyes are wandering, their minds have begun to move.

The reason why they traveled thousands of miles to the mountains and rivers, pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers and ran to Daming, was for money, and most people only had money in their eyes. Driven by profits, some people who are not firm in their beliefs have begun to waver. Those who have firm beliefs have also begun to weigh the pros and cons in their hearts, after all, the trade volume is rising, and the tariffs charged by Daming Customs will also increase.

Guan Shanyue looked at the silent crowd below, and his heart was crackling, he decided to add fuel to the fire, and said in a very inflammatory tone: "Ahem, if you think that this still can't reflect the benevolence of our Ming Emperor, then I think this next news will definitely move you." That is, from now on, the Ministry of Household will begin to accept applications for foreigners to join the nationality of the Ming Dynasty, as long as you are the talent we urgently need and meet the corresponding conditions, after submitting the application, after the Ministry of Household review meets the corresponding conditions, after the Ming Emperor signed and approved, you can obtain the nationality of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to enjoying the tax treatment of Ming merchants, but also enjoy all the due treatment. How's that, it's exciting enough, right? ”

The foreign businessmen and the businessmen from the four provinces of Daming were all stunned, their mouths became a big circle, and they couldn't believe their ears at all.

Wei Liangqing, the customs governor, lost no time in standing up and said with a glorious face: "Well, don't be so surprised, I prove that the news that Lord Guan said is true, and the corresponding law is being formulated and will be promulgated at a later date." In addition, the tax laws of the Ming Dynasty for foreign businessmen are also being formulated, and according to different industries, the commercial tax is about three to five times that of the Ming merchants. ”

Bragging, Guan Shanyue is now proficient, he not only brags, but also blows earth-shattering, "However, everyone, we are not everyone's want." We do not recognize dual nationality, but once you join the Ming nationality, we will protect your life and property. Now there are only two ways to join the Ming nationality, one is skilled immigration, and the other is investment immigration. To emigrate means to renounce one's original nationality, swear allegiance to the Ming Emperor, and support the rule of the Ming Emperor Chongzhen......"

Guan Shanyue listed several of the latest technologies of the Ming Dynasty, such as the large-scale use of machines to improve production efficiency, steam engine spinning machines, steam engine flour mills, steam engine oil mills...... It has drawn a visible blueprint for everyone, all of which show the vitality of the north of the Ming Dynasty.

Daning's towering chimneys are a symbol of high technology, using machines to improve production efficiency, and everyone can't believe it, a living example is placed in front of you, Daning's textile factory is spinning yarn with a steam engine.

Probably this news was too groundbreaking, and there was no one present.

Guan Shanyue shrugged her shoulders, "Of course, you don't have to make a decision on the spot, it's not too late to think carefully about it after you go back and make a decision." ”

Francisco was a decisive man, having seen the steam engine of a textile mill, unique in the world, far more efficient than human and water-powered looms.

He was also the first foreign businessman to come into contact with Daning, and in his eyes, Daning was simply developing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Over the years, he couldn't remember how many talents everyone had sent to the Daning Academy of Sciences, and he once remembered a madman telling him that he was studying how to put a steam engine on a merchant ship, and who knew if it would become a reality. Just like he didn't believe that there was a steam engine in this world.

Francisco made up his mind in his heart, he made up his mind to be the first person to eat crabs, and said loudly: "Lord Guan, I am willing to change my faith, I am willing to be loyal to the Ming Emperor, but can I bring my wife and children to the Ming Dynasty?" ”

The sudden sound of the voice startled everyone, and they all looked at Francisco in a daze.

Guan Shanyue didn't expect it to open on the spot, and hurriedly said: "Of course, my friend Francisco, this is all my negligence, and I blame it for not explaining it to everyone just now." As long as the applicant meets the corresponding conditions and the applicant's immediate family agrees, they can obtain Daming nationality. Obviously, from what I know of you, your conditions are up to the mark. ”

With the leader, those who have long been tempted behind are unwilling to be left behind.

"I also want to join the Ming nationality!"

"If I want to convert to Taoism, can I enjoy the preferential tariff policy now?"

"Where can I apply?"

…………

…………

The courtyard that was silent just now turned into a vegetable market in a blink of an eye.

Guan Shanyue is now a head two big, he didn't expect the scene to be so hot, and temporarily made a cameo appearance as a spokesperson, "Well, the Yamen of the Ming Household Department is located on the east side of Tianning City, and it will start working next month." Joining the Ming nationality is not a one-time effort, and it can only be joined after review. There are also converts to Taoism, and they must pass the assessment of the Taoist Division before they can enjoy the corresponding tariff preferences......"

The Taoism of the Ming Dynasty is managed by the state, not a religious country, and Zhang Tianshi has to kowtow and kneel when he sees Emperor Chongzhen. In addition to this reason, what moved Emperor Chongzhen to reassure him and boldly develop Taoism was Guan Shanyue's sentence "Culture is a kind of soft power".

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to spread the culture of the Ming Dynasty at the same time, driven by interests, to unconsciously assimilate the surrounding alien races. If this plan can be successful, the troubles around Daming can be solved once and for all. Even if they don't achieve significant results, in Guan Shanyue's words, they have cultivated a leading party in their territory, and it will be easier for them to meet each other in the future.

After driving it to benefit, Emperor Chongzhen assigned the work of educating the new people to the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites, and Guan Shanyue was naturally happy to be idle.

Guan Shanyue felt that his mouth was thin, and after wasting his strength to send away those foreign businessmen, he hurriedly went to Emperor Chongzhen to ask for someone.

None of the civil and military officials in that group of civil and military officials followed Emperor Chongzhen to Daning, and they couldn't let them occupy the pit and not. Seeing that so many foreign businessmen lined up to join the Ming Dynasty and convert to Taoism, Guan Shanyue had to take advantage of Yang Sichang's new appointment to let Emperor Chongzhen finalize the candidates for the household department and the military department first, and he could also set off to Shaanxi and Gansu to receive the victims with peace of mind.
