"Your Majesty! This is a treaty from the governor of the king to negotiate with the Spaniards! Your Majesty, please! Saying that, Cao Huachun presented a book to Chongzhen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chongzhen took it and opened it and looked at it, and after a while, he said: "The result of the cabinet vote is unanimously opposed? ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Cao Huachun responded.

"Did these Aiqing's brains let the donkey kick it?! Or was it caught in the door?! Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, so he said, "Invite a few members of the cabinet back to me!" ”

"The old slave obeys!" Cao Huachun bowed, and then went out on an errand, and soon Sun Chengzong came with Xu Guangqi, Cheng Jiming, Liu Hongxun and Guo Yunhou, who rarely comes.

"Wechen see Your Majesty! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! Several ministers saluted at the same time.

Although Chongzhen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, Tai still kept smiling and said, "No courtesy!" Sit it all! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone is humane, and then take a seat according to the courtesy!

"Your Majesty summoned the ministers and others to come here for this recital?" Sun Chengzong saw the music on the royal table, but understood what was going on, so he asked.

"Yes! I think these conditions are reasonable! Why didn't you pass it? Chongzhen asked.

"Your Majesty! This Spaniard refers to the previous Dutch treaty, this is no problem, the main thing is that one, we want to give up the agreement with the Netherlands to fight Spain together, if we agree, then where is the credibility of my Daming? Lao Tzu Zeng Yun: "People cannot stand without faith, industry cannot prosper without faith, and the country will decline without trust." "So we rejected it!" Sun Chengzong said.

Several other people also nodded in agreement, Chongzhen looked at it, and then said, "I understand what the teacher said!" Now that you know where the point is, it's easy to do! However, the previous treaty with the Dutch did not make it clear that my Ming was sending troops to help him fight against the Spanish forces, and it was no longer stated that my Ming could not establish friendly relations with Spain, did it? Chongzhen asked with a smile.

Several people were stunned, although this was the case, but they always felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong, Chongzhen continued: "Then I will ask Governor Wang to change this article, how do you think Aiqing should change it?" ”

"Win or lose! Now these Spains are coles! Everything is according to what I said, Weichen thinks that the last article will be abolished directly! Just let them follow the previous rules! Liu Hongxun spoke at this time.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" The others replied without thinking.

Chongzhen suddenly had the urge to hold his forehead and make a sad expression, but he also understood that it should indeed be the case, but in the end he still thought about it and said: "Now that the Netherlands and Spain, we should make none of them too strong than others!" And where they are, quite a few countries are also rising, and it is always good for us to have them in the restriction! Chongzhen has the impression that Britain, France and other countries at this time should also be slowly starting to start.

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Sun Chengzong asked at this time.

"Just according to your Aiqing's meaning! Repeal the last one! Enforce! However, now there is no Spaniard power in this region, so I can do it or not to fight against the Spanish forces, is it possible that my Ming will still kill Spain itself? It's obviously unrealistic, and besides, the firearms I sold to the Dutch were also helping them attack Spain, wasn't it? Chongzhen said with a smile.

Everyone nodded, saying so, but their concepts couldn't be changed at once, Chongzhen continued: "In addition, you can also sell Spanish firearms!" Xu Aiqing, the Ministry of Industry can make a batch of export-oriented firearms on our current firearms! The performance can be one or two percent of the firearms that we are using today, and some mechanisms are set up in it, if they disassemble and study, then the firearms will automatically blow up! Do you understand? ”

Xu Guangqi was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, and smiled: "Weichen obeys the order!" ”

"Then when selling to these hairs, you can do this, for example, the batch sold to Spain is a little better than the Dutch, and the next time it is sold to the Dutch, let them consume each other, and they find that the other party's equipment is better than their own, and they will definitely come to buy better ones! In this way, I will have silver! Chongzhen continued to point.

Listening to Chongzhen's words, several ministers couldn't help but widen their eyes, is this really the emperor? What a black-hearted businessman! It is clear that he wants to trick people, but this move is beneficial to Daming, and it does not violate the signed contract, which is feasible.

"That's right! Export-type firearms are at least a little more powerful than the ones they are using now! Chongzhen said suddenly as if he remembered something.

Xu Guangqi smiled and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"And then there's the fact that ships can't be sold now! Forbidden items, and any suspicious people are not allowed to enter the shipyard! Chongzhen continued.

"Your Majesty, rest assured! Within a radius of ten miles from the shipyard, our soldiers are strictly guarded! Even a fly can't even fly into it! Xu Guangqi said with a smile.

"That's good! If this contract is signed, if the Spaniards present a new map, the Ministry of Industry will add them to the full map of the Imperial Palace, and update it at any time, so that I, as well as my courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, can better understand what the world is like! Chongzhen commanded.

"Wechen obeys!" Xu Guangqi said.

"Guo Aiqing!" Chongzhen looked at Guo Yunhou.

"The minister is here!" Guo Yunhou saluted.

"The Dutchman's indemnity is almost ready, and when the time comes, arrange for them to convert the gold and silver into my Daming coins for reparation! And the same goes for this Spanish one! Let the Daming Royal Bank prepare enough coins! So as not to make a mess on the spot! Chongzhen said.

"Command!" Guo Yun bowed thickly.

"Your Majesty! There was no such clause in the previous treaties with the Dutch! Sun Chengzong was stunned.

"Yes and no! But it's nothing, I'll send someone to inform them in advance! Believe they won't refuse! Am I not allowed to sell them firearms? When you buy it, you must also pay with my Daming coins! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Sun Chengzong said.

"Your Majesty! Nowadays, a lot of feedback has been collected from the people, mainly asking the imperial court to introduce coins with larger denominations, sometimes the transaction volume is too large and it is not easy to carry! Guo Yunhou said at this time.

"Then use paper money!" Chongzhen didn't even think about it and blurted out directly.

"So be it! I didn't let the Ministry of Industry design banknotes before, but then because of the many things, the people didn't need it too much, so it was shelved, and now it continues to develop! After the development is developed, I will see, if feasible, it can be piloted in some areas first, such as Jingshi, and Nanjing, and if the response is good, it will be implemented nationwide! What does Aiqing think? Chongzhen said.

"I think it's okay!" Guo Yun said kindly.

"So be it!" Chongzhen said, and then turned to Cao Huachun and said, "Approve the opinions I just said with you Aiqing, and then send the song to Governor Wang!" ”

"The old slave obeys!" Cao Huachun bowed.
