"Lord Li, this old guy Andre is really not a thing, he not only makes small moves everywhere in business, but also contacted the two Zhang brothers when he was in Ningbo, trying to tear up the contract between the two adults, they want to cooperate with the Zhang family!"

Andrea's approach Ma Qiang looked inside, and he was very disgusted with the other party's practice of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

When this guy went to Dongying to trade, he lost only one sea ship.

Li Ling not only helped him prepare the goods for trade, but also had a fleet follow him west.

I didn't expect that this guy was not a safe lord at all, and after arriving at the Franc Machine, he talked to others in the native language of the Franc Machine every time he traded, and the guards didn't know what they were talking about.

Ma Qiang suspected that Andre, the old guy, was playing tricks with them, and deliberately quoted a low price into the account and embezzled the difference in the middle.

"Lord Li, this old guy Andre actually wants to cancel the peace treaty privately, and everyone said that they will master the sea trade routes to the West together, isn't he going back on his word? Shall we teach him a lesson, the two sides signed a peace treaty in the first place! ”。 Ma Qiang said in an atmospheric manner.

Andre has always believed in the so-called spirit of contract, and when the two families cooperated, he had to sign a peace treaty.

It's good now, he lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot, but left evidence for Li Ling.

If Li Ling came forward to sue Ma Qiang for not keeping his promises, I am afraid that the prefect will not let him go!

"Forget it, I don't plan to pursue him, since we can't continue to cooperate, forget it, I asked you to follow him to the Franc Machine to trade, not to spy on him, but to let you be more familiar with him and learn a little experience in long-distance sailing!"

Li Ling naturally wouldn't move Andre now, but he had just met the emperor and was very attention-grabbing, so it was better not to fall out with him at this time.

Although the trade route from the Ming Dynasty to Franc Ji could bring great benefits, Li Ling did not take it to heart.

In the future, Dachang Qianzhuang may open up trade routes to the West, but definitely not now.

Comparatively speaking, Li Ling was more concerned about one thing, and he asked Ma Qiang, "What kind of seeds did I ask you to find?" Have you ever found it? ”。

When Andre was about to leave the land, Li Ling had instructed him to look for seeds for several crops in the Franc machine.

He also secretly told Ma Qiang that even if he couldn't make any money from this lying sea trade, they would find these seeds!

The seeds Li Ling was referring to were corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, and if he remembered correctly, these crops had already reached Europe!

"As soon as I mention this, I get angry, Master Li, you obviously told him to collect these seeds, but after he returned to the Franco, he ignored this matter and threw himself on buying and selling goods!" Ma Qiang gritted his teeth and said.

Andre didn't take the matter of the seed to heart, but he couldn't, Ma Qiang's life was saved by Li Ling, so he naturally obeyed Li Ling's words.

After arriving at Furangji, they were lucky enough to find a Han Chinese living in the area, and under his guidance they found the seeds of these three crops.

At this time, the three crops had just been introduced to the franc machine, and they were valued by the locals, and they finally found them all.

But because of this, although these seeds were rare treasures in Li Ling's eyes, they were not bought for a few taels of silver.

Andre has always been interested in making money, and he will not bring anything that is not profitable.

When he came back, he repeatedly asked to throw away all these things and exchange them for rare treasures, but Ma Qiang didn't agree, and coupled with the insistence of the guards, he had to agree to keep the seeds!

"What about the seeds? Where are they now? ”。 Li Ling asked eagerly, this is a big deal, and he can be sloppy at all!

"We've already arrived in the capital, but we've heard that you've bought a manor outside the city, and the brothers have brought the seeds there!"

Li Ling attached so much importance to those seeds, he felt that he was very lucky, fortunately he found the seeds, otherwise there was really no way to explain to them.

Knowing that the seeds had been transported to the farm, Li Ling hurriedly took Ma Qiang and the others out of the city.

Ande was listed as a businessman in Beijing, and he also made great efforts, just gave gifts, and he sent invitations to the big businessmen, and wanted to invite them to a banquet in the teaching workshop.

The women in the Teaching Workshop Division are of noble birth, and they are naturally not comparable to ordinary Qinglou women.

Entertaining guests at the Church Workshop is in itself a representation of the importance of Andreado's merchants.

After the delicacies were placed on the table, the mother of the teaching department gave the order, and dozens of stunning fish entered and danced in the hall.

The merchants watched the dance and drank at the same time, and the interest was quite high.

"Ander is very bold, presumably he has made a lot of money in the ocean trade, as long as we follow him. I think we're going to make some money too! ”。

"That's a good thing, Lord Andre has already met the emperor, and since the emperor also appreciates the trade between the East and the West, why should we hide it, we will do things with great fanfare!"

"Yes, the emperor has lifted the ban for a long time, and it will not be repeated, and we will follow Lord Andre to trade in the future!"

The merchants were talking about whether to go to the east for maritime trade, or to the west to the Franc machine, as long as there was enough profit, they were glad to do so.

Since Andre was able to bring them wealth, it was only natural that the merchants would be willing to go to the Francois together.

"Oh, my lords, you're really pulling today, I'll tell you. Our wine here is specially made and is much more mellow than others! Everyone, you should have a good taste! ”。

finally met a group of generous masters, and the mother of the teaching department naturally had to come forward to entertain them in person.

Andre put the glass in his hand to the edge and tasted it, and he found that this wine was really different, it was stronger than the wines of other places.

"Mom/Mom, please rest assured, as long as you serve the uncles well, the reward will be indispensable to you!". Andre said with a smile, and at the same time he handed his mother/mother a silver ticket of thirty taels!

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely make you all happy!" Mom/Mom smiled heartily, and she went down to make arrangements.

Everyone was very happy at this meal, and many merchants expressed their willingness to trade with Andre to the Franc machine.

It's just that what Andre didn't expect was that these people, including himself, began to vomit as soon as they got home.

The doctors thought it was food poisoning.

The Faculty Department reported the case to the Yamen, and the officers investigated and locked up the drinks they had served to the guests.
