The Macau Council had a high degree of administrative autonomy over the whole of Macau, but unlike other Portuguese colonies, the reason why there was no governor here was not that there was no appointment, but that no one dared to take office. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

You must know that the Ming Empire during this period, although there were continuous internal wars, but the military equipment of the coastal generation was not abandoned, even in the later period to fight against the peasant rebel army, the troops that could be fought were basically finished, and the southern generation of anti-Japanese troops was not mobilized.

It is precisely because of this that the Portuguese, even the Dutch, who are now in full power, do not dare to fight with the Ming Dynasty easily, after all, this country is different from those small countries in the Americas and Southeast Asia, as long as a few hundred or dozens of people can successfully occupy the next city.

The negotiations with the Portuguese went well, and there was no reason why Limars and the Macau Council would not accept such a large shipping order, knowing that the price offered by the Australians was very high, and for each migrant transported to Australia, a fee of 150 Spanish silver dollars would be given to pay for the transportation costs.

With such a high transportation fee, there is only one requirement, that is, all immigrants must be guaranteed to arrive in Australia safely.

In the history of the European slave trade, half of the deaths in the transportation were mainly due to the narrow cabin, poor ventilation, too crowded, resulting in the breeding of germs, and the European colonists often did not provide too much food supply in order to save transportation costs, of course, this also has a lot to do with the storage conditions of the hull at that time.

After all, it is impossible for the colonists who transported the black slaves to go hungry and give up their food to the black slaves, even if most of them will die on the way to the black slaves, as long as they have a small part to reach the goal, the black slave traders will make a lot of money.

So in order to avoid this situation for the Portuguese, Wu Zhengdao specifically demanded that the safety of the personnel and the treatment on board the ship must be guaranteed, and if they were found to have failed to comply with the treaty, they would be severely punished.

As for what kind of punishment the Australians will use, Wu Zhengdao just smiled at the end and glanced at the direction of the pier.

The existence of the Perfect is the weapon of maximum destruction, and it is impossible for anyone to underestimate it, and some of the information that can be learned so far is that these Australians have annihilated several groups of pirates in the waters near Batavia.

From this point of analysis, it is enough to prove that Australians will never be vegetarians. If it were to fight at sea, no fleet would be a match for this steel behemoth.

Limas has always been cautious, although he is quite unconvinced, but he will never be quick for a while, after the treaty was signed, the two sides were quite happy.

Two days later, in the same place and in the same box, Wu Zhengdao had his first contact with local officials in Daming.

The officials who attended this meeting, the largest grade was naturally Ling Maicheng of Xiangshan County, and the other officials were some small officials such as county officials, and there were not many people who came, but there were also seven or eight people.

Wu Zhengdao, Yang Yuzhou, Zhang Jie, and the three of them, who attended on behalf of Australia, still appeared at the door of Juxian Building early in the morning to greet them from the perspective of etiquette.

For the greeting of Wu Zhengdao and others, Xiangshan County Ling Mai Cheng was very satisfied, and when he walked into the box, the man in his forties kept wiping his beard, nodded, and then sat down first under the guidance of Yan Jianye.

"I heard that you and the others are the people sent overseas by the pre-Qin Shi'an to seek medicine, and now that they have established a country overseas, I have been a country for more than 200 years, why are you waiting to attack the table now."

Long before he came, Yan Jianye had already revealed to these Ming officials that a group of Australians who claimed to be the people of the pre-Qin Dynasty came to Macau, saying that they were coming to establish diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty.

The establishment of diplomatic relations in ancient China is equivalent to an attack by the state, to ask for a title or something, such a big thing, how dare the Xiangshan County Commander slacken, if it is done, it is a highlight for his political achievements, so he immediately resigned some entertainment, and promised to go to Macao to meet these pre-Qin people in three days.

As soon as they met, they didn't find anything wrong, these people still knew the rules and etiquette, and they had been waiting outside the restaurant long before they arrived, and they were very dissatisfied with their dress.

Mai Cheng is a scholar, and when he does things and speaks on weekdays, he demands himself from the words of a saint.

"The ancestors flew across the sea, through the south of the South Seas, sailed thousands of miles to reach the place where they live today, and after thousands of hardships and dangers, they have the foundation of today's Australia, I don't want to a few years ago, a plague, the number of people in the country was halved, this time I came to recruit some villagers to go to Australia to reclaim wasteland to grow food, but also to do a little business with the Ming Dynasty."

Wu Zhengdao did not pay much attention to the word attack on the above table, after all, this kind of verbal dispute does not have much meaning, the key is to be able to persuade these people to trade and emigrate.

The Ming Dynasty is now implementing a policy of closing the country, except for a few major foreign trade ports, almost other coastal cities are not allowed to communicate with foreigners, of course, there are some bold ones, after all, the wealth brought by maritime trade is unimaginable.

"You are equivalent to the Yanhuang bloodline, since you intend to be attached, this official brings it for submission. It's just that there may be something wrong with this outfit, and it seems to be no different from the people of Banghongyi. ”

Sure enough, this guy Mai Cheng still couldn't hold back, he was a little dissatisfied with the dress of Wu Zhengdao and others, frowned slightly, and looked like he had been uneducated for a long time and was heartbroken, which made Wu Zhengdao a little funny.

"Australia is located in the south of the South Seas, and the domestic climate is mostly different from that of the Central Plains, so it is naturally closer to the local area."

"That's the same in the past, but I'm afraid it's not that simple to recruit immigrants." Mai Cheng still said the result that Wu Zhengdao guessed early in the morning, after all, Daming implements the road introduction system, and the population management is very strict, if you get people abroad, it is a capital crime, of course, all this is not a problem, didn't Zheng Zhilong do it at this time, so it mainly depends on the courage of the official, if it is big, it is not a problem.

Wu Zhengdao, who had been prepared for this matter, waved his hand, and immediately a subordinate of the Yan Mansion took out a delicate wooden box, and then slowly opened it.

"A small gift, I hope the adults will smile and accept it, I am equivalent to the Yanhuang bloodline, and I will not fool my compatriots."

Taixi glass cup, this thing is worth 10,000 taels of silver, several officials who came with it were all moved, in fact, there is nothing about this immigrant, at present, all parts of the Ming Dynasty are in chaos, especially the people who fled from the north, the pressure of the local government is actually quite huge, these people do not handle it well, maybe they will rise up, then they will be finished, so they can only send people to drive the refugees out of their jurisdiction as much as possible.

"You and others are both Yan and Huang blood, and this official can be trusted. At this time, Mai Cheng had actually finished reading the immigration agreement, that is, for every immigrant recruited, he would give Xiangshan County a benefit fee of five taels of silver. ”

Although the sage said that being honest and honest for the official will benefit one party, but in the face of money, Mai Cheng still chose to give in, and if he does not give in, he is afraid that those officials below should hold a grudge against themselves.
