Xiao Tiancai didn't believe that this group of people really came to Macau unintentionally because the goods were wet. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Portugal's coveting of Daming has not been a day or two, and he used to make trouble in Tuen Mun and was beaten by Daming. Xiao Tian believed that this group of people must have made all the preparations before coming.

The leader said: "My name is Hua Luoshi, the noble nobleman of the Ming Dynasty, I am willing to renegotiate with you, and ask you not to hurt us."

Xiao Tiandao: "Welcome." My dear friend, Portugal is the best country in Europe, Magellan is the best navigator of our time, and Columbus is just a little bit of luck, and he can't be compared with him at all."

Warlord was taken aback, and in just one sentence, not only complimented his motherland, but also showed this person's understanding of the world, in his impression, the officials of the Ming Dynasty did not say that they understood Europe, and even Portugal and Spain were two countries.

Waroshi said: "Oh God, you still know Magellan, this is so surprising to me, the Ming Dynasty officials I have been in contact with before do not even know about Europe".

Xiao Tiandao: "Of course, I also know that you have had some unpleasant experiences with our country in Tuen Mun before."

Warlord said, "Oh, I'm so sorry for that, please forgive that idiot Barbaro, he must have drunk too much."

Xiao Tiandao: "Don't be nervous, according to your country, I standing in front of you is equivalent to the nobles of your country, and all the officials of the Ming Dynasty that you have contacted before are at most equivalent to the tax officials of your country's small town, and the friendly exchanges between our two countries have just started today, haven't they."

"Oh of course, of course, Your Excellency the Marquis, that's right."

Xiao Tiandao: "That's right, that's it, now, I sincerely invite you to my ship to be a guest."

Hua Luo Shi said: "God, it's really unimaginable, there is such a big ship in the world, I only know how powerful the Ming is when I see you today."

On the Sunshine Sonny, Warox naturally screamed again and again, the quality of life in Europe during this period was basically not good, even in their eyes, the royal family, which was already very luxurious, was at the level of a nouveau riche in the Ming Dynasty. The exquisite decoration of the small heavenly ship made Valoshi even more awe-inspiring.

Xiao Tian was the first to speak: "Dear Captain Hua Luoshi, I now represent the Ming Empire and officially start our negotiations as the Marquis of Dingyuan, can you represent your country?" ”

Warlord said: "I am very sorry, Your Excellency the Marquis, please allow me to introduce myself formally, I am the commander of our Far Eastern Fleet of the Portuguese Empire, and I have the highest decision-making power over Far Eastern affairs, and I can make decisions about ordinary commercial contracts, but please forgive me, there are some big things I still need to ask my king."

Xiao Tiandao: "It's okay, since that's the case, let's talk about something you can call the shots first."

After loading B, it is natural to enter the substantive content, Xiao Tian said: "I now formally inform you, my dear friend, I am the Dingyuan Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, all the goods you need in the future must come to me to buy, this is also my duty, and I will also buy the goods to you at the best price, of course, this price includes the taxes that must be collected in our country's export trade, before this, you may have also purchased our goods from other channels, but I regret to inform you, Those are more like petty and sneaky peddlers, and they are tax evasion, and of course, from now on they will not be allowed".

Hua Luo Shi said: "Oh God, are you saying that the amount of goods we had before was all petty fighting, similar to the kind that the crew secretly sold?" ”

Xiao Tiandao: "That's right, I can guarantee that my price will be cheaper than your previous channel, and I also believe that as a friend of my Ming Empire, you will not continue to buy these goods that have not paid taxes to our country."

Warlord said, "Oh well, if your price is reasonable, of course we won't continue to buy those smuggled goods."

Doing business, it is nothing more than bargaining, one is willing to buy, one is willing to sell, such a business is almost a matter of course, Xiaotian sold all the goods that were not sold at the end of the year to Hua Luoshi, with a total value of more than eight million taels of silver, with spices, precious stones, silver, gold, rhino horn to pay, in general, it is a result that everyone is satisfied with.

This is also thanks to the fact that Portugal and Spain plundered a large amount of gold and silver in the Americas, to be honest, at this time in Europe except for gold and silver, there was almost nothing worth buying in the Ming Dynasty, and it was not completely unreasonable for us to call ourselves the Celestial Empire during the Ming Dynasty. At that time, almost the only flow of gold and silver in the Americas was Daming, which was the only net importer of silver in the world.

One has money, the other has goods, and business negotiations are exceptionally smooth, but business matters are easy to negotiate, and political troubles can be made.

Hua Luo Shi said: "Don't dare to deceive the honorable Marquis, we urgently need a trading point near Daming, we hope that you can allow us to rest here and lease this place to us."

Xiao Tiandao: "Of course, we welcome our friends to live here, but it is impossible to lease anything, I have never ceded land in the hundred and fifty years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty." Not before, and not in the future, that's the bottom line. You can live here, you can even build here, you can do business here, but only if you obey our laws, respect our customs, and pay all taxes according to our requirements, is that okay, my dear friend?"

In fact, it is fair to say that during the Ming Dynasty, Portugal leased Macao, and the Ming government controlled it very strictly, and issued a series of laws and regulations to restrain them.

What else can Warox do? The petty officer who had promised to rent before had already snapped a shot and was solved. In desperation, I had to agree, and finally allowed them to live.

Xiao Tian spoke again: "My dear friend, we have finished talking about such a small matter as business, it's time to talk about big things."

Hua Luoshi exclaimed: "Oh God, is the business of more than a hundred tons of silver just a trivial matter in Daming?" So what's the big deal? Is there really such a big deal? ”

Xiao Tian smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course there is, for example, how about we join forces to drive the Spaniards out of Luzon, for example, how about our two families join forces to divide the Spice Islands (East Indies)."

Warlord was overjoyed and said, "Is this true? Will Ming help us deal with those Spanish pigs? ”

Xiao Tiandao: "Of course, but it's not exactly to help you, let's take what we need."
