Chapter 54: Confrontation (3)

I don't know where Simang found a group of Portuguese musicians who knew Ming Dynasty instruments, holding various musical instruments, and playing Ming folk music on the side. Watching a group of foreign devils play folk music, Li Yanqing always felt cold behind him.

And those maids pouring wine and cloth dishes are also Han women, and half of Yanmar is gone. The looks of these lives are ugly and handsome, but overall, they are still above the standard. Simang, a foreign businessman, is also a wonderful person, and he has witty remarks and gags between banquets, but he will not be cold.

It's just a foreigner, and it's all Han articles when he opens and closes his mouth, which has made Li Yanqing unbearable, and what's worse is that he can't talk about this foreigner when he talks about learning, so it's even more intolerable. You said that you are a foreigner, and you should not be a good pirate, and you should study the eight articles of the Ming Dynasty, what is this picture?

As a big order, when he arrived in Macau, he naturally did not simply preside over an international significance to rescue Han Wujie

Anti-abduction operations. To tell the truth, if you really want to save people, it's just two or three errand soldiers, holding cards and tickets, it is enough to solve it, and he will go out in person?

When he came to Macao, he naturally wanted to talk about major matters, and Simang could naturally guess and understand this. It's just that he is used to dealing with the literati of the Ming Dynasty, and he always has to be beautiful and snowy before talking about business, and talk about the sages and sages. As the so-called gentleman's metaphor is the righteousness, villain's metaphor is profitable, and the scholar's business, can you talk about money?

But Li Yanqing is really not good at this kind of socialization. In the end, he had no choice but to stop: "Mr. Simao, let's get down to business, what you said has nothing to do with what we are going to talk about." Let's talk about whether you want to do business in Xiangshan. ”

Simang's eyes lit up, although this official played his cards a little out of accordance with the rules, but this style of action was still more in line with his interests. "Your Excellency the Marquis, all of us want to conduct legal trade with the great Ming Empire, and we will be the most honest merchants and swear to abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty."

"It's not important, the most important thing is to pay taxes. If you want to do business in Xiangshan, you have to open a trading house, right? The comptoir has to occupy an area, right? You have to pay the money for the use of the land. In addition, there must be a Chinese person in this business, and the tooth tax must also be paid. I promise that as long as you Portuguese operate in accordance with the law and pay taxes according to the law, no one will be able to interfere with your freedom of trade. ”

"Oh my God. This is the best news I've heard this year, praise God Almighty. Simão raised his glass and drank it down.

"Your Excellency, I have one more thing, that is, there are ten acres of wasteland, which have long been uncultivated, and the great empire cannot benefit from them. Under the willingness to pay for the purchase of wasteland. As for the price of the land, if you make an offer, I will never make a counteroffer. ”

Is it the same ten hectares? Li Yanqing remembered what Liang Ruimin said about the ten acres of land, and it was obviously the same thing as this foreigner. He smiled and said, "If you want to buy land, it's not a problem." As you said, this land is useless in the hands of the imperial court, so it is better to sell it as soon as possible. But what do you do when you buy land? I have to understand that I don't mean to embarrass you, I just don't like to be kept in the dark. Of course, if there is something wrong with the use of this land, then you can leave it alone. ”

"No, no, no, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the use of this land. We bought it just to spread the gospel of the Lord and let the light of God shine on the world. ”

"You're saying you're going to buy land to build a church?"

When he heard Liang Ruimin say that Fanren wanted to build a church, he was still skeptical, after all, these robbers who recognize money but not people will do this kind of transaction? Since Simão also said so, is this actually true?

"Exactly. Bishop Carneiro of the country is about to arrive, and the bishop is very influential in the country. If I can build the church before he comes, the Bishop will be very happy, and maybe I will become a nobleman for all. The German character in my surname will become true. ”

His noble surname, which was sealed by himself, was not recognized in Portugal itself. If he can get married to Carneiro, he will hopefully turn positive. And a real aristocrat, coupled with his military force, the identity of the Portuguese in Macau will naturally be confirmed.

For the sake of this identity, he is also at any cost, and how much it costs is no longer in the scope of consideration. At this time, it is necessary to calculate the future account, not the economic account.

The guard officer said, "In terms of payment, the disdainful side will pay according to the Portuguese taels, and as for how to enter the account, it is up to your Excellency to decide." ”

"Very good, very attractive conditions." Li Yanqing smiled, but suddenly put the cup down, "However, I refuse this condition!" ”

"Refusal? Why? We don't think this is offensive to the Ming Empire. ”

"In fact, if I allow you to build this church, it will be an affront to the Ming Empire. The crux of the matter is that you are only tenants, and it is up to the host to decide what you can or cannot build on the host's land, not the guest. That's the crux of the matter. There is no need to talk about this issue any further. I am very satisfied with today's reception. ”

Simang didn't expect to be closed, why did this old man, who has always been easy to talk, suddenly change his face? Seeing Li Yanqing brushing his sleeves away, he had no choice but to turn his head and ask the guard officer: "Bu Jialao, look at what happened this time......

"My friend, I actually disagree with your idea of building a church, and you know, that's crazy. The Ming Empire has always been very concerned about this kind of thing, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to agree to your request. ”

"You can't do that, Bugarao. Think about it, how did I help you before? Besides, if you want to build your artillery factory, you can't do without the wasteland of Macau. Do you think that an official who refuses to build a church will agree to you building a gun factory? If the church offends the authority of the Ming Dynasty, your artillery factory, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to accept. You should do something about this qiē, you have always been the best lobbyist, a successful businessman, even if you are pretending to be a guard officer, you are so good. This time, I'll need your help. As long as he can promise to build a church, as much as he wants. ”

At this time, it was getting late, and it was impossible for everyone to return to Xiangshan, so they had to stay in Macao for the night. Ryan Stein danced happily with a half-shirted Han girl, and I was afraid that he was about to hook up. Li Yanqing pulled away a few women who came up and pulled Qin Ruizhu back to the bedroom.

This bedroom is also built in the fortress, the candlelight in the room is shaking, Qin Ruizhu has no owner, like a frightened little beast, looking around in horror, "I, I want to go back to the room." ”

"Xiao Qin, look at how I took care of you that day, I also drank too much today, isn't it time for you to take care of me?" While speaking, Li Yanqing had already grabbed the jade wrist of the beautiful woman honestly and unceremoniously.
