Section 330 The Three Giants of the Eastern Sea

The Dutch agreed faster than Yang Chao had imagined, and it took only ten days to get a reply, and the East India Company promised to deliver the warship to Yang Chao.

Obviously, the Dutch are eager to open the door of Daming, and the mood is even hotter than Yang Chao imagined.

Moreover, Yang Chao only needed ten ships, which posed no threat to the Dutch or to the Zheng clan.

But Yang Chao was still surprised that the time they took was so short.

Obviously, the Dutch themselves could not do it, the headquarters of the East India Company was in Jakarta, and it was difficult for the fastest ship to go from China in half a month, but they only went back and forth in ten days, which was obviously incredible.

I didn't believe that Yang Chao was killed, and they could do it without Zheng's help.

So I asked Zheng Hongkui to ask questions, and sure enough, Zheng helped a lot.

Zheng sent fast horses from Nanjing to Fujian, and then sent the news to Taiwan by ship, which took only three days.

It turned out that the Dutch were not waiting in Jakarta at all, and the governor of the East India Company, who was in a hurry, was waiting in Taiwan specifically for the results of Jones's negotiations.

Then after receiving the news, he discussed with several company officials, and soon decided to agree to Yang Chao's request.

The news was transmitted back to Nanjing from Fujian through the Zheng family's fast horse, so it only took ten days.

Jones conveyed the company's decision to Yang Chao in an extremely excited tone, and said at the same time that the company's warships are already on the way, and they are guaranteed to be sturdy and good ships that can be used normally, and there are a lot of cannons on them.

Obviously, being able to purchase goods directly from Daming, the Dutch no longer know how long they have been longing.

It's just that Yang Chao really can't see through the Zheng family, so he had to ask Zheng Hongkui, but Zheng Hongkui didn't hide it.

smiled and told Yang Chao that the Dutch had promised them more conditions. Not only did each merchant ship that traded with the Ming Dynasty through the Taiwan Strait pay the Zheng family a protection fee of 3,000 taels of silver, but also paid them a tax of 10% of the price of each ship. The tax base is subject to the customs transaction price.

I have to say that Zheng is ruthless enough, and it is estimated that the whole world is unique in collecting protection money from the Dutch. Not to mention this, the Dutch actually promised to pay them a tax of 10%, you must know that Yang Chao's transaction price is not cheap, and the price given to Zheng is five times the price, which is equivalent to an additional tariff of 400 percent, and the Dutch give Zheng 10% of the tax silver, which is equivalent to half of the purchase price of Nanjing, which is equivalent to the Dutch paying 450 percent of the tariff. Yang Chao collected 400 of them, and Zheng collected 50.

The greater the volume of trade of the Dutch, the more Zheng earned, and it was not necessarily less than the direct supply to the Dutch.

It's just that Yang Chao doesn't quite approve of it, after all, it is more advantageous to directly monopolize trade with the Dutch.

As for what else the Dutch and the Zheng family have behind the scenes, it is estimated that it is a secret between them, and Yang Chao does not plan to ask.

With ten large war ships provided by the Dutch, Yang Chao believed that Zhang Dawei should be able to control the smuggling in the Songjiang area, and it was time to completely suppress the Hao family.

As for why only ten. Yang Chao still trusts the shipbuilding technology of the Ming craftsmen who once built treasure ships, they just lack experience, and there are a few big war ships of the Dutch where to make templates. I believe that they will soon be able to break through and rebuild large sea vessels.

As long as the Xinjiang Shipyard can build big sea ships, how many warships does Yang Chao want?

With the Dutch warship as a template, the Xinjiang Estuary Shipyard as the base, and the city shipping department tariff as the capital, Yang Chao can build a large navy within a few years, and then the maritime pattern in the east should change, maybe it will not be possible to eliminate the Zheng family and the Dutch, but it is not difficult to do it in three parts of the world. At that time, it is time to change the situation of the Zheng family and the Netherlands on the Oriental Ocean, and it will become a period of competition between the three giants.

The Dutch ships had not yet arrived. Yang Chao's wedding date was said.

All kinds of cumbersome ceremonies are countless times more complicated than ordinary people marrying wives.

Of course, the main way is still the same. That is, Yang Chao has to pick up his daughter-in-law.

When picking up a daughter-in-law, you need to receive instructions from the emperor.

Then there were the eunuchs who taught all kinds of etiquette and so on.

It's troublesome, but it doesn't matter, Yang Chao is occasionally rude, and no one compares it, not even the emperor.

In this way, the princess was won back home.

The Yang family held a feast for three days, and the entire street of the iron workshop could be eaten.

Of course, before the neighborhood, it was the civil and military officials who came to celebrate, and even the emperor came in person, but he only showed up, which was regarded as giving the Yang family a lot of face, and he did not stay to eat.

After a tired day, she walked into the cave room, and Zhu Yujiao sat quietly at the head of the bed with her hijab on her head.

Yang Chao leaned over and sat beside her, and found that her body was trembling slightly.

When the hijab was finally lifted, a red face that was no less red than the wedding dress was revealed.

"Princess!"

Yang Chao shouted softly, already slightly drunk.

Zhu Yujiao nodded lightly: "Horse." ”

After a long time, Zhu Yujiao found that Yang Chao did not answer her, looked over boldly, and found that Yang Chao had fallen asleep on the bed.

couldn't help but be slightly disappointed, but he still carefully covered the newlywed husband with a quilt, and then put down the tent.

Zhu Yujiao couldn't sleep, she thought a lot in her heart, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

I don't know how long it has been, but most of the dragon and phoenix candles have burned, and the red wax droplets have flowed a lot like tears.

When she turned around, she found that Yang Chao was already looking at her.

Zhu Yujiao couldn't help but feel ashamed and aggrieved.

Yang Chao was awake, but he didn't touch her?

Embarrassed and annoyed, his eyes suddenly turned red.

"What's wrong with the princess?"

Yang Chao asked.

"Not how?"

Zhu Yujiao replied.

"Then why are you crying?"

"I didn't cry."

"Is it to blame the husband?"

"I didn't."

"Tell the truth."

"Why are you?"

"Why didn't I touch you?"

Yang Chao's bold question made Zhu Yujiao cover her head with the quilt in shame.

Yang Chao laughed.

"I didn't touch you just now, because I was afraid that the wine wouldn't wake up and hurt you!"

Zhu Yujiao's heart was warm when she said this, and then she felt that a hand was dishonest on her.

The bed began to shake.

There was a woman's whisper.

With a cry of pain, the girl became a woman, and the boy became a man.

Yang Chao hugged Zhu Yujiao and fell asleep with satisfaction, and he was finally satisfied.

Because the princess is obviously a virgin, this is a great satisfaction for him, a psychologically clean guy.

Early the next morning, there were maids waiting.

The Yang family finally has a young maidservant, who is the palace maid who Zhu Yujiao marries.

Zhu Cihong was very generous to his sister, who had suffered all the way, and married thirty beautiful palace maids, all of whom were young women sent by the flattering Lu Jiude to loot from the south of the Yangtze River, theoretically speaking, if the princess was willing, these women would be Yang Chao's concubines in the future.

After freshening up, Zhu Yujiao still hasn't adapted yet, and she is still very shy in front of Yang Chao.

It made Yang Chao a little difficult to talk to her, because what she wanted to say was probably something that the princess would never want to hear. (To be continued)
