It has been a few days since they arrived in Quanzhou, and Liu Yun and others have visited the ancient city of Quanzhou under the leadership of Zheng Dagongzi, so there is no need to revisit, after all, everyone is not an expert in the study of folk architecture, and they have to study the buildings with southern Fujian characteristics.

The letter of goodwill visit from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Australia has been passed through Zheng Hongkui and presented to the capital, as for whether the emperor will receive it, it is hard to say, as far as the Ming court's outdated ability to do things, level by level, I am afraid that it will be at least half a year before it reaches the emperor.

Therefore, Liu Yun did not plan to wait here for a long time to wait for the summons of the Ming Emperor, he still had a lot of important things waiting for him, and after discussion, he decided to leave the two of them here, so as not to summon the envoys of the state when the emperor came, and everyone left to make trouble.

"Xiao Zhang, after I leave, you stay here to wait for Chongzhen's summons, your official identity is Australia's deputy diplomatic ambassador to Batavia, there are two purposes here, one is to wait for Chongzhen's summons, and the other is to take this opportunity to build up the intelligence system of the Ming Dynasty, I know that this is not easy to do, if you want to do something under the nose of the Zheng family, you can hardly escape their eyes, but this is a formal test of whether you can become a good agent."

"Yes, minister, don't worry, I will work hard." Zhang Tianwen patted his chest and assured that he was also looking forward to himself for being alone, after all, these are capital that will appreciate in the future.

"Is Ambassador Liu here? Ambassador Liu, my lord would like to invite you to the front hall for a moment. Zheng Hongkui sent a subordinate to the backyard to invite Liu Yun, these days Liu Yun and Zheng Sen are basically touring the mountains and rivers, almost nothing to talk about, Zheng Hongkui seems to know that Liu Yun will not stay in Quanzhou for long, and will soon take the sailing ship to the South Seas to return to Batavia.

If this is not negotiated before the people leave, I am afraid that I will not know what year Ma Yue will be next time, the agency of Australian glass mirror and glass cup in Fujian and Zhejiang, the Zheng family has already gotten it, but the Zheng family's great business is too little to earn by relying on the agency rights of these two provinces.

Zheng Hongkui knows that Australia implements a special area management system, and the amount of rations in a region is regulated, so if the Zheng family wants to take Fujian's mirrors to Japan to sell, it is bound to reduce the sales of the mainland.

"Ambassador Liu's habit of staying these days, I heard Damu say that the climate in Australia is completely different from that of my Ming Dynasty, and there is no difference between winter and autumn all year round."

"I live very well, Australia also has four seasons, but winter is not like Daming, Lord Zheng, I will leave for Batavia in a few days, I am the local ambassador, and my main responsibility is to be responsible for the business and life safety of the Batavian generation of Chinese citizens, as well as the communication between China and the Netherlands."

"Lord Liu is busy with official business, and Zheng will not stay longer, but I want to talk to Ambassador Liu about this mirror agency, and you can see if you can open up the agency rights of Japan and several provinces in the mainland."

Zheng Hongkui said sincerely, just waiting for Liu Yun to agree, in fact, the agency of the inland provinces is not very important, the key is the agency of Japan, the Zheng family almost monopolized the trade rights of the Ming Dynasty with Japan, and it is precisely because of this that there is an annual income of millions of taels.

Before coming, Liu Yun carefully considered that the Zheng family would put forward such conditions, and the lowest bottom line he thought of was to open up Japan, after all, the Zheng family actually controlled Japan's trade, and Australia wanted to sell mirrors there by itself, unless a fleet came over, otherwise the Zheng family was there, and it was impossible.

"Lord Zheng is so embarrassed, this is very important to Japan's agency, if I easily agree, and the domestic government does not agree, then I will be punished. However, there is no emperor in our country, there is only a president and a prime minister, and then there is the Diet, and they are all elected by the votes of the big business groups and businessmen in the country, and if you let go of Japan's proxy power, as long as you convince these big businessmen and business groups, you can directly influence the government's decision-making. ”

Liu Yun said this is actually very simple, he doesn't want to ask for any kickbacks, he is also greedy for a little money, in case he is targeted by those people in China, it will be difficult to do, he wants to tell Zheng Hongkui that if he wants to get the agency, as long as he can let these big businessmen get profits, what can make these businessmen make profits, and the business that businessmen do is naturally a matter of buying and selling.

Although I heard Liu Yun introduce the state of the Australian government as early as a few days ago, I know that the emperor is elected by the people, and most of the officials of this court are like this, not completely from the people who study, whether they are trading or farming, they can serve as the president through that election and become the emperor of the country, of course, this emperor is not always, elections are held every five years, and if there are special circumstances, the people can also directly remove the emperor.

When I heard it, I didn't surprise Zheng Hongkui to death, this emperor is really every family in Australia who takes turns to sit, and I thought at that time that the country under such governance would not be chaotic.

But Liu Yun told him that no, because the government has a complete think tank and the wit of mutual supervision, the National Assembly and the president and officials are mutually contained, and the military has no right to intervene in politics, which is clearly written in the constitution that soldiers must retire from active service if they want to participate in politics.

Soldiers can't enter the court, this is the first time to participate in political affairs, they all say that holding heavy troops is the boss, this to Australia can not drive, in order to prevent the army generals from launching a coup d'état, people have two different troops to monitor each other, watch out for each other.

"I heard that domestic businessmen are interested in Daming's raw silk, tea and porcelain, etc., and I am going to organize a delegation to inspect this year, if the Zheng family can give these businessmen help in Daming, I think they will persuade the Congress to relax the power of agency in China."

Raw silk, tea, porcelain is the main commodities exported by the Ming Dynasty, and now the Australians have obviously made this idea, and they will send a visiting group to conduct an investigation of the old man, but it is nothing to promise, the main source of wealth of the Zheng family is the flag fee and trade with Japan, as long as this does not affect these two things, it is easy to say, these things are sold to the Dutch, and the sale of Australians can also be exchanged for a large number of Australian commodity agency rights This kind of good thing why not do it.

After figuring it out, Zheng Hongkui readily agreed, because from all indications that the surprise brought by Australia in the future is not only a mirror-like product, but also more Australian goods, Liu Yun also indirectly revealed the news of some future products in Australia, which made Zheng Hongkui overjoyed.

"Ambassador Liu, we have a happy cooperation, and Mr. Zheng sincerely welcomes the arrival of Australian friends on behalf of my brother."

"Haha, then thank you Lord Zheng for that." In fact, it is not clear to say that Zheng Hongkui can say that the cooperation is happy, which means that he has agreed, and an exchange of interests between Australia and the Zheng family ended in laughter.
