But in any case, the Chinese emperor already knew the news, he already knew!

Knowing that the Genoese were willing to raise the price, then talk about the price of those good things before.

There is no doubt that the Chinese emperor will not admit it.

Stupid Genoese, very stupid, very stupid!

He could only wait, he could only continue to wait, and he waited until Matteo Ricci.

"The Genoese envoys presented their credentials to His Majesty the Emperor, offering to buy Chinese porcelain, silk, tea, and iron pots at a price of more than five percent of the price of France, and His Majesty seems to be a little interested in doing business with the Genoese."

Matteo Ricci truthfully relayed what he saw.

The French made the solar terms bad.

"I want to see His Majesty the Great Emperor immediately, please ask for me to see him."

Matteo Ricci shook his head.

"His Majesty the Great Emperor still has a lot of state affairs to deal with, and he has now begun to meet with his courtiers to start handling state affairs, so please go back and wait."

The French envoy froze, and then fell into a deep agitation.

One day, two days, three days, four days.

He couldn't wait.

Because this time it was the Genoese envoys who mocked him.

After careful consideration, he found Matteo Ricci, who was working as an official in the palace, and directly stuffed him with a little money.

"Please ask to see His Majesty the Great Emperor for me, I really want to see His Majesty the Great Emperor, really!"

Matteo Ricci looked around and returned the money directly to him.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's really that His Majesty the Great Emperor's government affairs are very busy, not all the time has time, China is building a country, it takes a lot of energy, His Majesty the Great Emperor has huge power and great responsibilities, and he often works until late at night before resting, and he really doesn't have time."

The French envoy was stunned for a moment, and then took out a little money and stuffed it to Matteo Ricci.

"I really need to see His Majesty the Great Emperor, I sincerely beg you!"

Matteo Ricci sighed.

"You take the money back, the money given to me by His Majesty the Emperor is enough for me to live a very decent life in China, His Majesty the Emperor is very disgusted with his courtiers for corruption and bribery, if the money you give me is known by His Majesty the Emperor, I will not be able to continue to stay by His Majesty the Emperor to serve him."

The French envoy looked at Matteo Ricci pitifully.

"Alas! I know, I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not. ”

That's all Ricci can say.

The French envoys were overjoyed.

"Please tell His Majesty the Great Emperor that I am willing to pay a higher price than the Genoese for His Majesty's goods, and please don't trust the business ethics of the Genoese too much, that is, a bunch of scoundrels, scoundrels who can do anything for money!"

Matteo Ricci nodded his head to indicate that he understood.

Then Matteo Ricci came to Xiao Ruxun's study.

Xiao Ruxun is working hard to write.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been holding the French envoy for four days at your request, and he has finally said that he is willing to raise the price, and that the Genoese cannot be trusted in their business ethics, that they are a bunch of bad people who can do anything for money."

Xiao Ruxun raised his head, looked at Matteo Ricci, sneered, and lowered his head again.

"Talking to businessmen about ethics? Our ancestors said a long time ago, businessmen value profit and light separation, I Huaxia since ancient times heavy agriculture and suppress business, just to prevent businessmen from bad atmosphere, unfortunately, the businessmen can not control the officials, in the end it is the officials who are doing business, officials plus businessmen, pigs and dogs are not as good! ”

Saying that, Xiao Ruxun continued to write hard, and he stopped writing.

"The French envoy said he was willing to raise the price?"

"Yes, that's what he said."

"You go talk to him first, tell him that although I am very dissatisfied with the behavior of the Genoese, but their prices are relatively high, and Daqin needs money to develop, so although I am very reluctant, but I only talk to those with higher prices, and whoever of them has a higher price, I will sell the most precious high-quality porcelain and high-quality silk to whom, and if the price is low, I will suffer a little grievance and ask for other goods!"

Matteo Ricci said he understood.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will do it."

Matteo Ricci stooped away.

After he left, a man in black flashed behind Xiao Ruxun.

"Your Majesty, it has been found out that the French envoy sent money to Matteo Ricci, but Matteo Ricci excused himself and did not accept it."

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

"Continue to monitor him, prevent him from coming into contact with any unrelated people in the palace, and once he starts talking about his godly chatter, give me a way to stop him, all in all, I will not allow any Europa filth to spread in Daqin!"

"Yes!"

The man in black immediately disappeared behind Xiao Ruxun.

Matteo Ricci returned to the residence of the French envoy and conveyed Xiao Ruxun's words to him.

"His Majesty the Great Emperor said that China needs to develop and needs a lot of money, so although he dislikes the Genoese very much, if their prices are relatively high, the Great Emperor can only sell them the best silk and porcelain, and you can only get inferior goods."

The French envoys were in a hurry.

"Please ask for me to see His Majesty the Great Emperor, I am willing to pay a higher price than the Genoese to buy the best goods in China, please Your Majesty the Great Emperor must not be deceived by the Genoese, this is a group of liars!"

In this way, Matteo Ricci became the microphone between the French envoy and Xiao Ruxun, while engaging in pinyin work, he was also a microphone, three points and one line, and his life was very fulfilling.

During this period, the Genoese envoys also realized this matter, so they also approached Matteo Ricci and began to play bidding with the French.

The price eventually reached one hundred and twenty percent of the original price.

After the Genoese envoys made such promises, the French did not dare to say more.

It's really amazing.

Although France is much larger than Genoa and has a much larger population, there is really not so much money, Genoa has a large group of bankers, with a lot of money in their hands, and there is no shortage of money at all, while France is at war all year round, the country is unstable, and the finances are about to collapse, they really can't compete.

Thus the supply of fine porcelain and fine silk was obtained by the Genoese.

The Genoese were excited, while the French were disappointed.

However, after that, Xiao Ruxun summoned the French alone, comforted the French who had lost their superior goods due to the failure of the bidding, and expressed his willingness to establish good relations with the French country, and was willing to send envoys to the French country to establish real diplomatic relations with the French country.

He will not send envoys to Genoa, and is willing to send a group of Chinese businessmen to France to do business, open Chinese restaurants and shops, etc., so that the two countries can establish a long-term cooperative and mutual assistance relationship.

It was a bonus.

The French envoy did not expect that he would be able to achieve such a result, and he was very excited to agree.

With the establishment of long-term diplomatic relations, France will become the first country in Europe to establish real relations with China, something that the Holy See has not been able to do, which will inevitably shake the whole of Europe and greatly enhance the status and prestige of France in Europe.

Compared to it, it seems that business or something is no longer the most important thing.
