When Zheng He went to the West, he fooled many indigenous village chiefs along the way, and it was good to go to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute.

Because this is the rule of tribute, it is always a reward to be returned, and it must be more than tribute, otherwise people will not be good, and they will not come next time.

The blueprints of the treasure ship were later burned by the angry scholars, which had a lot to do with the foolery of the eunuchs of the Three Treasures.

Imported products, that is, sea ships, ships to transport, the southeast monsoon in the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang, it is called "the wind of the ship". The ban on the sea was not for the sake of banning the sea, but for monopolizing the import and export trade through private ports such as Yuegang and channels such as Wang Zhi and Zheng Zhilong.

The government and business are one, snakes and rats have always been a nest, there is no receipt and shipment on the shore, Wang Zhi Zheng Zhilong smuggled no goods, and he was a fart.

The goods that come with the tributary, copper and other materials in the "restricted list" will be purchased by the official, and the goods outside the list are also allowed to be sold on the spot.

It is because of the benefits of tribute that it has become a trend. The Western Regions and the South Seas, a bunch of countries in the south and north of the world, what Lu Mi Lu Mi has not heard of, needs to be reviewed by the Ministry of Rites before the tribute can be allowed.

Under the third class, it is Portugal, the Netherlands, Spain, England and other Western countries, this number is called "ghost guy" according to Cantonese, I feel more monkey than the Nanyang monkey, Rakshasa, the evil ghost in Buddhism!

This number is not handsome, and it is difficult to enter the door of the tributary in the early Qing Dynasty, for fear of frightening the children, refuse to visa!

Ten years ago, under the pretext of sporadic clashes between Cossack hunters and the Eight Banners of Manchuria in the Shengjing area, Tsarist Russia did not say hello or go through the procedure, and the mission sent from Moscow directly broke through the pass.

What's even more miraculous is that the camel caravans of the diplomatic corps in Moscow are full of goods, selling and buying special products along the way, and they are doing business all the way from Mongolia.

It is the style of Tsarist Russia that does what he says, and his undisguised dedication to silver, which moved the Manmeng nobles, and he felt that this blind bear was quite similar to us.

As a result, the Qing Dynasty made an exception to make up for the Moscow mission on arrival, and allowed Tsarist Russia to set up an embassy in Beijing substantively.

But England and the Netherlands can't, these are the advanced countries in "history", and at this time they are not very advanced, compared to the Qing Empire, the two eggs under the Tyrannosaurus rex.

In addition, these European big seafaring dealers only dare to bully the natives, and they are afraid of the great empire, and they do not have the demeanor of Tsarist Mao Zi to do what he says, just apply in writing.

Manchuria has always looked down on this cowardly goods, and he is too lazy to take care of it.

The official diplomatic channels and trade routes between England, the Netherlands and the Qing Dynasty were always semi-closed, and they could only be traded through the Portuguese.

However, due to the straightforwardness of the fighting nation, the diplomacy between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia progressed very quickly. Regardless of the allowed trade, the permanent ports and trade routes were soon opened, from the south of the Qing Dynasty, through Mongolia, and by land to Moscow.

The rhubarb fruit of the Qing Dynasty was known to Europe because of the large-scale import of Tsarist Russia.

Tea and many medicinal materials that were not taken seriously in the Qing Dynasty were purchased as military materials in Europe, such as during the Russian-Turkish War, tea was used as a military necessity and as a standard for the Russian army.

The Russian girl still has vitamin tablets in her hand, and there are no vegetables in the cold. If you don't take vitamins for a long time on a long voyage at sea, you will also get sepsis.

But the maritime merchants of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are fine, they will sprout!

Rhubarb was purchased by Tsarist Russia as a munition and fed to gray livestock.

The Russian missions came to the Qing Dynasty once every few years on average, and the round-trips were very frequent. The day before Yuanyoshi suggested that the Manchu and Mongolian tribes should carry out a purge of the Slavic settlements in the Shengjing area, he had just had dinner with his Tsarist friends in Moscow in Beijing.

The official communication between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia was very close, and Yuanji had good personal relations with his friends in Tsarist Russia, and he liked the character of the Slavs very much, and it was easy to get along with.

Britain and the Netherlands are very envious of Tsarist Russia, they are all Yi, why is the treatment different? But Britain and the Netherlands did not dare to bombard the Qing Dynasty to provoke the Tyrannosaurus rex, and they have never had a problem with the establishment of diplomatic relations and trade.

Except for lobbying from the side through the missionaries, the envoys were caught and repatriated as soon as they came ashore, and they were always at a loss.

In history, it was not until the Qianlong period, with the help of Qianlong's birthday, that a group of flatterers and cowards in Europe who bullied the weak and feared the hard launched "birthday diplomacy".

Every year on Qianlong's birthday, more than 20 European countries gathered, and they must arrive every year, which officially opened the situation.

As for seeing Qianlong not kneeling, that's very right, what kind of kneeling can't you see? I really saw that not only kneeling was instinctive, but my head was still ringing. But no matter how soft his knees are, and his head bangs again, Qianlong still ignores it, and he doesn't stop walking.

To the emperor of the empire, a few Xiyi kneeling on the side of the road were nothing more than ants.

In terms of world status, the Qing Empire during the Kang Yongqian period only had the share of the Qing Dynasty to repatriate others!

The military record surpassed that of the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, and the winning rate and the area of the frontier were placed there. The population is approaching 400 million, and the most conservative estimate of the economic aggregate of the Qing Dynasty at that time by the European and American economists is one-third of the world's in Madison's "Millennium History of the World Economy".

If the Qing Dynasty claims to be the second in the world, who would dare to call it the first in the world?

Losing the world's No. 1 card, losing to a group of Western and Oriental deflated three with a straight flush, the descendants are ignorant, but they are not incompetent entrepreneurs.

The reason why entrepreneurs are entrepreneurs is that they are dissatisfied with the environment and will change the environment.

Don't be afraid of the weak, practice martial arts!

Don't be afraid of poverty, whip up!

At this time, Yinghe was an entrepreneur who was dissatisfied with the environment, just like Manchuria back then!

Sail with martial arts!

"Yes, I don't need a parliamentary mandate and I know that this is what England desperately needs."

It can open up communication and trade channels with the Qing Dynasty, Luo Er was ecstatic, "Your Highness, your open-mindedness, let me get acquainted with you, I am deeply honored. ”

"I am not open-minded, but I hope that with the increasingly close exchanges between the East and the West, the fire of civilization can be spread to the endless wilderness."

Yuan Ji raised his head slightly, and his eyes were embarrassed with longing, and then he said in a deep voice, "The reason why the people of Europe have suffered from plagues repeatedly is that your epidemic prevention level and hygiene habits are still in the dark age of ignorance.

Since ancient times, China has taken it as its mission to educate the Quartet, and it is our bounden duty to systematically impart the knowledge of health and epidemic prevention in the Chinese civilization to you, so that the British and Dutch people can stay away from suffering.

You're welcome, this is the duty of civilized people. ”

Horn and Rohr heard the sound, swallowed and spat at the same time, and at the same time their heads involuntarily lowered, their eyes instantly scattered, and they instinctively avoided the charitable eyes that Yuan Ji looked at, and their tense momentum fell a lot.

"Pavilion... Excellency. ”

Richard. Rohr had the expression of a dog, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "You are really ......"

"You are such a benevolent nobleman."

Horn, who was also a lot more demoralized, immediately took the opportunity to transfer the damage, and pointed to the slightly sluggish Rolle, "England urgently needs Lord Rolle to bring back the good news, the gospel from the East will definitely dispel the haze of the plague and let the dark London re-bathe in the glory of civilization." ”

"It's not London that sinks into darkness, it's faith. As long as faith remains, on the ruins, we can still rebuild Rome. ”

In order not to make Horn's comment wrong, the benevolent Yuanji shook his fist in front of the decadent Rohr, and cheered for the little pity passionately, and waited for the British sissy to be frightened, and his spirit was completely dispersed, before he changed into a warm smile and flickered, "Where does the confidence come from?" Of course, it's a gold coin, what glory can compare to the sparkle of a gold coin?

For the British East India Company, the Dutch East India Company's intention to order bulk cane sugar is not only a business, but also the hope of the Qing Dynasty to help England get out of the predicament as soon as possible.

We hope that this will ease the hostility between Britain and the Netherlands, and that supplies and trade will return to normal as soon as possible, at least in East Asia and the South Asian subcontinent.

The Qing Dynasty did not want the trade environment in the East, and was dragged down by the stupid wars that took place in the West.

If Britain and the Netherlands continue to adopt a hostile stance in the East, based on the need to stabilize external supplies and ensure the safety of our merchant ships, the Qing Dynasty may make a decision to blockade the coast, close the markets of the subject countries, and mediate the Anglo-Dutch war by force.

After all, I am now opening the port, and I do not want the external trade environment to deteriorate, whether it is based on the national interests of the Qing Dynasty or my personal interests.

I don't care about ships of unknown nationality, but once a merchant ship flying my flag is confiscated, obstructed, or sunk by the British and Dutch, I will regard it as your attitude and take reciprocal retaliation.

Your attitude towards me is my attitude towards you, and I hope you can understand that. And my current attitude is not to allow you to adopt a hostile attitude towards our merchant ships.

You can respect my attitude, or you can ignore it, and if you can't communicate with each other, then we'll let the cannon speak. ”

When Rohr and Horn heard this, their faces were pale.

"Sucrose is just a commodity in one category."

Yuan Ji added, "Our demand for dyes in central and southern India, with the development of the empire's textile industry, the bullish level of people's consumption will expand year by year.

I have 100 million people in the Qing Dynasty, one person a year, one person a year, and the dye needed is astronomical, and due to climate reasons in my country, planting crops that can extract natural dyes is very poor, so it is better to purchase from you.

At the same time, the Qing Dynasty decided to give up the entire dye planting industry and carry out targeted support for you in the form of targeted procurement.

This is for the rational allocation of global resources, the second is to avoid vicious competition, and the third is to avoid interfering with your intensive and large-scale efforts in areas of strength.

Of course, this is also a substantive action based on our attitude of promoting friendly relations between the two sides. Profit is the best glue for relationships, isn't it? ”
