One thousand and seven two glasses of wine
Xiao Ruxun also has a lot of ideas for establishing formal diplomatic relations with the current France.
One is that the current environment in France is more suitable, and the other is out of enterprising ideas.
We can't always let the Europeans come over, we have to go there ourselves, see what new things appear over there, and bring them over, we can't be slower than they develop.
We must surpass them and make every effort to develop with our huge national strength and strong confidence, with a view to fully occupying the world's advantages and absorbing the essence of the whole world to develop ourselves.
No one knows the importance of the sea better than Xiao Ruxun now, but he also knows the deep inland nature of the Chinese Empire and the irreplaceable land plot of the Chinese people.
The maritime trade that was once carried out during Zhu Di's period was also stopped after Zhu Di's death, and the Ming Dynasty returned to the inland empire again, so he also had to worry that after his death, Daqin would also go back to the old way of the interior.
Therefore, from now on, it is necessary to plant the genes of the ocean for Daqin, which is still irreversible, to cultivate a powerful marine group, to let people discover the huge wealth contained in the ocean, and to turn people's attention from the land to the ocean.
Go to sea, travel the world, occupy the world, and absorb the essence of the world.
The establishment of diplomatic relations with France was the first step, and the next step was to set up official representatives of Daqin in many countries to carry out commercial trade, and use the official impetus to encourage the people to turn their attention to the vast sea.
China's land is not given away by phone bills, it is also obtained through continuous conquest and integration, and every inch of land is stained with blood and soaked with the ambitions of the conquerors.
The ancestors were blocked by the sea, the plateau, the grassland, and the rainforest, but Xiao Ruxun did not have these obstacles in his eyes.
There are Confucianists, and there are Legalists!
There are Mo families, and there are also soldiers!
There is a royal way, and there is a domineering way!
So Xiao Ruxun's approach is very simple, he wants to warm two glasses of wine, one to Meilan Zhuju, and one to Jin Ge Iron Horse.
When the Genoese envoy heard the news, he was extremely shocked, and he suddenly realized that he had taken advantage of business, but France had a greater advantage in a more meaningful place!
Diplomatic contacts with the Chinese?
Isn't this something that many European countries dream of?
Once such formal state-to-state relations are established, what else can not be obtained?
Immediate commercial interests and long-term formal relationships, China's vast territory and huge population represent countless huge interests.
If it can be seized, it will be the first to come for hundreds of years.
This is especially true in China.
The Genoese envoy was well aware of the need for formal relations with China, and he soon approached Matteo Ricci and asked to meet with the Emperor of Great Qin.
"His Majesty the Great Emperor is busy with state affairs, and there is really not much time left, His Majesty the Great Emperor asked me to tell your envoy that Great Qin can do business with people who don't understand etiquette, but he will definitely not establish a formal relationship with people who don't understand etiquette.
Moreover, His Majesty the Great Emperor proposed that since the agreement on trade had been reached, and His Majesty the Great Emperor had traveled his promise, the envoy could leave, and His Majesty the Great Emperor had given you a month to prepare, please leave China within a month. ”
Xiao Ruxun directly refused the request of the Genoese envoy through Matteo Ricci's mouth, and asked them to leave within a month, and then announced that China would ask France to establish a foreign embassy in China and establish a reciprocal relationship with China.
The Genoese envoy left Beijing in despair, and the French envoy immediately sent someone to leave China and sail back to France to report the great news to His Majesty King Henry IV of France, and then he and some of the envoys were allowed to stay in Beijing to wait for further news.
In any case, their goal has been achieved, and after achieving this goal, their mission can be said to have been overfulfilled, and they will be able to enjoy the exotic atmosphere in Jingshi for a while.
As a result, Matteo Ricci was specially appointed as a commissioner to accompany the French envoys, and under the supervision of the Ministry of Rites, the French envoys were allowed to travel in and around Beijing, and other places could not be opened for the time being.
But the arrival of the envoys from these two countries made Xiao Ruxun start to prepare for the trade of the five mouths in advance.
For this reason, Xiao Ruxun convened a formal court meeting when the purge continued, and convened the officials of the six ministries to discuss the matter of trade between the five departments.
"I have initially planned to open five ports in Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Ningbo, Songjiang and Laizhou for foreign trade, and Myanmar Town as a transit station, and even open up a trade route from Myanmar to Sichuan, build an official road from Myanmar to Sichuan, and export Shu brocade directly from Myanmar Town.
This can also complement my strategy of taking full control of southern Sichuan, which is full of Tusi, and I need to have a suitable reason to intervene to strengthen my control over Burma so that the imperial court will not lose control of Burma. ”
Xiao Ruxun set the tone for the meeting.
I want five to trade, and you can negotiate with five, but don't make any objections.
Wang Xijue and Li Tingji glanced at each other, knowing that this was the emperor's decision, and there was no room for negotiation, and they could only discuss it at most in the city location of the five people.
They also did not dare to have any objections to the emperor's policy of opening up maritime transportation, and now those who may oppose it have already been invited to the Central Investigation Department to "assist in the investigation", and they do not know if they can come out.
The rest did not dare to say anything even if they objected in their hearts, and watched as the emperor passed an order to bring the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal under military control and not allow civil and local governments to interfere.
The sea is open to the people of the whole country, but everyone knows nothing about the sea, and now the emperor wants to engage in trade with the Francois people, what is this doing?
They are becoming more and more incomprehensible to the emperor.
And more importantly, the emperor does not draft the draft and does not hold the imperial examination!
He himself doesn't enjoy himself, and he doesn't hold the imperial examination to stabilize the hearts of scholars, what is he doing?
But they didn't dare to say more, they only knew that the emperor had an idea, the emperor had an idea, and the emperor wanted them to do it, that's all.
"Your Majesty, does the old minister think that the matter of trade with the French of Europa needs to be discussed again? We don't know what intentions and thoughts he has about my Great Qin, what reasons he has to approach us, why he came to Great Qin thousands of miles away to do business, and whether he has any bad intentions. ”
Li Tingji tried to raise his concerns.
Xiao Ruxun said softly: "Li Ge is too worried, these people are people I have been in contact with since the time of Burma Town, and I also sent Chinese people to the Europa Continent, I have touched these people inside and out, and I don't know everything about them, but I also know where their roots are."
The reason why they came to my Daqin is nothing more than money, and now the Europa continent is also at war, just like when I was in the Spring and Autumn Period of China and the Warring States Period, more than a dozen countries were fighting endlessly, and at this moment, they categorically did not dare to have any delusions about us. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Ruxun ordered Li Sheng to hang out the map of the Europa continent that he had drawn based on Matteo Ricci's memories and his own memories, so that his core officials could take a good look at it.
Daqin needs to open his eyes to the world.
