Chapter 579: Absorbing the Strengths of Others

Murad is worthy of being a Turkish profiteer, and his ability to extort bamboo is actually between him and Qin Lin, this is the trump card against the trump card, the two of them are talking about each other, you come and go, several tug-of-wars, and finally Qin Lin has been silent for a long time, and finally bites his teeth hard: "Gold 2,500 taels for a full set of technology, the achievement is successful, and it is not a pull-down, and the old man will not add half a copper to it!" ”

"Ann is on top!" Murad's cunning green eyes finally shone with joy, and he put his hand to his heart. He bowed deeply: "Generous Minister of the Celestial Empire, you will get everything you hope for, and Murad will serve you wholeheartedly." ”

Just know that Lian, you see the money and open your eyes! Qin Lin smiled perfunctorily at the other party, and despised this Mr. Mu fiercely in his heart.

Through the exchange with Xu Wenchang. Qin Lin had already known that the tributary activities were in place at this time. The economic component is very heavy - the Ming Dynasty may have attached more importance to the political significance of the coming of all nations. However, the vassal states paid more attention to economic factors.

A country like Chao Xian, which borders on the territory and is deeply influenced by the Ming Dynasty. The official background of the tributary envoys is still relatively strong. And the heavenly side, Java, and Rumi countries. It was often the foreign trade merchant who served as the tribute. There is no delay in paying tribute and doing business. Both politics and economics must be grasped with both hands.

Due to the pilgrimage to the Ming Dynasty. There are a lot of financial benefits to be gained from the rewards. Some kings of small countries even went so far as to sell tribute. The highest bidder carries the credentials to China for the Hajj.

When I came, I listened to the introductions of Zhou and Chen. Qin Lin almost had a number in his mind. Although the Ming Dynasty is majestic. After all, the affairs of the Timurid Empire and Ottoman Turkey were in the Yongle years. At that time, Uthman must have been convinced and fearful of Hajj, but now more than 100 years have passed. Turkey also does not share a border with China. The economic aspect of Hajj is much stronger than its political significance.

Look at Murad's face as a profiteer. Chinese is so well spoken. Naturally, it will not be the first time that Turkish officials have been sent to China. It's more like a businessman who goes to sea all year round to do business. Maybe this guy's envoy qualifications were bought from the Sultan.

Qin Lin lowered his voice, and suddenly attached himself to Murad's ear and asked, "Brother, to tell you the truth, how much did your tribute envoy qualification cost?" ”

"No, it didn't cost anything. I am the Sultan's court minister. He was sent to China for the Hajj. A hint of panic flashed in Murad's eyes.

Knowing Qin Lin's speculation, he is a Turkish merchant who travels to and from the Indian Ocean and the coast of China all year round. Eight hundred gold dinars were spent to bribe the eunuch courtiers of the Ottoman Sultan. Thus obtaining the qualification of a tributary envoy to the Chinese emperor on the pilgrimage.

Qin Lin keenly caught the hint of panic in Murad's eyes. My heart is becoming more and more determined. Patted him on the shoulder. Pi smiled and said: "Mr. Mu, don't worry, this official has a few good friends in the sailor of Fujian Yuegang and Hangzhou City, if we cooperate happily this time, haha......"

Murad was even more surprised. Needless to say, the cooperation is pleasant. If the cooperation process is unpleasant. In the future, there will be two treaty ports in Hangzhou and Yuegang. I'm afraid I'm going to close the door to myself forever, right?

Qin Lin had to prevent Murad from keeping a hand in technology transfer, since he was going to continue to do business in China. I am not afraid that he will jump into the sky. Seeing Murad's embarrassed expression, Qin Lin comforted him again: "We have an ancient Chinese saying called business. As long as you have a good skill in making the Lumi gun. A tael of gold will not be shorter for you, and it will be convenient for you in the future. ”

"That's, that's." Murad was relieved. His expression was a little more lively. patted his chest and swore an oath: "The minister of the Celestial Empire can rest assured and swear in the name of Anjula." Lu Mi Gong is the best in the world. Both East and West. ”

Previously, Qin Lin and Murad negotiated a deal. It's to step aside and mumble. No one else knows what they say. In the end, Mr. Mu's words became louder. was heard by Zhao Shizhen.

Zhao Shizhen lost the field. Miscellaneous into the career. Over the years, he has suffered from his own eyes, but Qin Lin is the only one who looks at him differently. And in the process of judging the case in Cishou Temple. also knows that General Qin is a shrewd and capable upstart. It's not a courtier who invites favor and luck.

Although I don't know the insiders that Qin Lin and Murad talked about in detail. I guessed that I was going to buy the manufacturing technology of the Lumi gun. Listen to Murad's cowhide coaxing at this time. I am afraid that Qin Lin will be knocked at a high price. Hurry up and take two steps. interjected: "Mr. Mu, you will avoid overdoing this." You need to know our ......",

The words are not finished yet. Qin Lin shook his hand very arbitrarily, not giving Zhao Shizhen a chance to continue: "Lord Zhao is too big to be nitpicky. This official has experienced that the Lu Mi gun is indeed a first-class divine weapon today. My Da Ming's weapons are really inferior to him. ”

Zhao Shizhen's kindness was not reciprocated. I held my breath. Originally, he was going to fight Qin Lin on the spot. For the sake of the previous favor, I finally didn't say anything. But the look on his face was extremely disapproving.

Murad was just a businessman. Where would you think too far? I heard Zhao Shizhen say that Lu Mi Gong is not perfect. He was worried about the two thousand five hundred taels of gold that had been negotiated earlier. and Qin Lin's promise to let friends from the two treaty ports help him in the future.

Wait for Qin Lin to refute Zhao Shizhen himself. Murad laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes and nose. Gave a thumbs up to Qin Lin: "It's still General Qin's knowledge." Zhao Zhubo. Your vision is really not as good as General Qin's. ”

Okay. Earlier, Murad was still showing off his weapons with Zhao Shizhen. As a result, he immediately changed his tune. It's really a living profiteer.

Qin Lin said a few more perfunctory words to Murad. Talk about sending someone to talk about the details of technology transfer in a few days. Only then did he say goodbye to the Turkish profiteers with a smile.

Zhou and Chen were always watching from the side. Although I don't like to see Zhao Shizhen very much. I couldn't help but say, "General Qin." Since ancient times, it has been asking for a lot of money to pay on the spot. The buyer only said that the goods were not good. It's good to keep the price down. You just ...... Or. Let's help you find Mr. Mu again? ”

Qin Lin hehe, hey, a pleasure. Thank you for your kindness. looked at Zhao Shizhen, who was sullen with his mouth on the drums next to him: "Lu Mi is better than the pipe and has high precision. The cost is relatively cheap. It is because it uses double-layer tube stacking technology. and a wooden machine tool with special beads. But it's fired with an arquebus. It is far less convenient than the official's electric light and lightning to use copper sheets to hit the flint and ignite. The caliber is too thin, the charge is too small, and there are problems with power......"

Ah, it turns out that General Qin knows it, so why? Zhao Shizhen blinked his eyes. Confused.

Qin Lin smiled very badly: "Why do I want to tell Murad about this?" If only the Rumi Kingdom had improved their Qiang branch according to our technology. What are the benefits to our Ming Dynasty and to our officials? ”

I pour! Zhao Shizhen suddenly realized, and said in his heart that General Qin was really treacherous. Oh no, it's "foresight". Advanced technology in the country of Rumi. Let's get him it. Our advanced technology. Hey. Don't tell you!

The two principals, Zhou and Chen, also fell to their feet. Rao is Murad's treacherous ghost. also drank General Qin's foot-washing water. It really makes people laugh and cry.

At the beginning, Qin Lin didn't plan to make Lu Mi Gong as it was.

Admittedly, the Rumi Gun is a very advanced weapon. Qin Lin once played a game called "The Age of the Imperial Circle", and the Turkish sultan's personal soldiers were quite powerful soldiers, so they must be holding the Lumi Gun in their hands.

But is this weapon from Asia Minor invincible?

In the second half of the 16th century, not long after the Age of Exploration in Europe, the Ottoman Turks conquered Constantinople and absorbed the embers of ancient Greek and Roman civilization from the Eastern Roman Empire.

The various civilization centers of this era have not really divided the winners and losers, each developing according to its own characteristics, there is no absolute advanced and backward technology, as far as navigation technology is concerned, Europe as a whole is in a relatively leading stage, but in the tung oil anti-corrosion, watertight compartment, balance rudder and other necessary areas. It is lagging behind China.
