Chapter 248: To See or Not to See
"Your Highness, someone from France has arrived. They want to see Queen Sarah, and you. ”
The French envoy and his party found Zhang Tie and reported to him waiting to meet Zhao Hongyu.
As a 'crown prince of the empire', how could it be that he could meet at the moment, so the French envoys waited.
Wang Shan, who got the news, immediately came to Zhao Hongyu to ask for his opinion.
"Oh, there's an emissary from France. What do they mean? After listening to the report, Zhao Hongyu asked.
Wang Shan replied: "Zhang Tie took their words for a while, as if to congratulate you on your union with Queen Sarah, and by the way, I came to discuss with you on the issue of Quebec, and they also want to ease relations with Sarah." ”
What the French side did against Sara and the means used Zhao Hongyu knew what to do. As Sarah's pillow person, Sara made it very clear to him.
Therefore, after Wang Shan finished speaking, Zhao Hongyu pouted: "Now it's time to be a good person, what are you going to do earlier." I will not talk to them about the issue of Quebec, and there is no need to talk about it. Where is Sarah's territory, now as a dowry is already owned by our imperial family, and the righteous name is here, so don't worry about anything. ”
At this point he paused: "As for them to see me, I don't think there's any need. Can an identity like mine be seen when I say I can see them, so I don't see them. Sarah's side can't see them, so I guess you'll have to ask her for her opinion. ”
Zhao Hongyu didn't want to see the French envoy at all, because in his opinion, it was completely unnecessary.
Today's France, as it was in the Napoleonic era, can compete with Britain.
On the sea, their strength is not as strong as Sweden's, so there is no need to give them a good face.
The forces at sea are not strong, and their army is still in Europe, and it cannot reach the Americas. So I don't care about their feelings at all, I'm the boss here in the Americas. You don't have to be a third grandson yourself.
"Your Highness, I'll inform them. I'll ask Queen Sara about it too, so I won't bother you if it's all right. ”
After Wang Shan understood what Zhao Hongyu meant, he went to Sara to ask her what she meant.
When Wang Shan left, Zhao Hongyu and Zhang Tie came over again.
Damn, what's going on today, Emma is still waiting for me to play cards with her, I just want to live a family life, why are there so many things.
After letting Zhang Tie in, Zhao Hongyu complained to him.
"Your Highness, aren't you idle enough now? Basically everything we did. You're a master at home now. Zhang Tie responded with a smile.
Zhao Hongyu smiled: "Okay, you're right." So what's the matter with you coming to me, that guy from Wang Shan has just left. ”
Zhang Tie smiled and said, "Yes, I saw him." "Those French want to expand the share of goods, I don't think we can explicitly refuse them, after all, this will have an impact on the future development of our Europe, so I have come to ask His Highness how to deal with them?" ”
Originally. Those French people raised the issue of expanding the share of commodities to Zhang Tie, which made Zhang Tie a little embarrassed.
Although he is very smart, he is not a naturally high-ranking person after all, and there are many things that he has not encountered and dealt with.
Therefore. Many times, Zhang Tie needs to find someone to discuss.
Most of the time he would look for Song Hu and Wang Shan, but at this time Song Hu was in Lake City, Ontario, and Zhang Tie went to find Sarah. Therefore, he could only report this matter to Zhao Hongyu. Let him decide.
"It's a fantasy to expand the share of goods. Although this thing is not a valuable thing in my opinion, I also understand that after expanding the share of goods. We're going to rot on the streets, so I'm not going to agree to expand my share. Zhao Hongyu rejected the Frenchman's proposal without thinking about it, of course, he also knew that Zhang Tie was the Frenchman's proposal relayed, so he couldn't say anything about Zhang Tie.
"As for how you say you want to reject them, it seems to me to be a very simple matter. It's just that you didn't think about it for the time being, so I'll tell you how to do it. ”
Zhao Hongyu beckoned to Zhang Tie and asked him to come closer.
Hearing this, Zhang Tie took a few steps forward and showed a listening look.
"If the demands of the French are leaked, someone will deal with them for us. When it leaks out, it is important to let people know that when the share of French goods expands, the share of other people's goods will inevitably decline. ”
After speaking, Zhao Hongyu sat up straight and looked at Zhang Tie with a wicked smile.
Ha Luha, that's a good idea.
If this matter is deliberately leaked out, then there is no need to explain anything, and the people of other countries will be enough for the French to drink a pot.
Maybe they will also target the French at sea, and it is not certain that they will make some drastic moves.
Hehe, when the time comes, it will not be you who will have a headache, but the French.
Damn, His Highness's head is smart.
Zhang Tie, who had already understood, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"This problem is solved, is there anything else you can do?" , Zhao Hongyu leaned lazily on the seat, looking lazy. Now where does he look like an 'imperial crown prince', he is simply a second ancestor who is lazy and lazy.
Of course, this is also one of Zhao Hongyu's life ideals.
"The French have also asked for diplomatic relations with us, and to set up an embassy in the capital of our empire." , Zhang Tie said another request from the French.
Zhao Hongyu shook his head: "This can't be done, where did we come from the capital." Now there are two cities, one in Manhattan and one in Lake Ontario, and there are five more cities that are still under construction and are only being planned. ”
He didn't have to think about it, he knew that he couldn't agree to the French.
Because he doesn't have a capital at all, how can he agree to come down.
"Your Highness, we bragged earlier that we would show our stuffing. The metropolis of 30 million people, where are we going? ", Zhang Tie smiled bitterly. At the time, it was just to brag and didn't think about it that much. The Spaniards, the British, the Dutch, the Portuguese, the Scottish, and the Italians were all asking for diplomatic relations and wanted to go to the capital. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu also smiled bitterly.
He couldn't agree to this, after all, he was all bragging.
His 'empire' is now just a prototype. As for the 30 million population metropolis, there is no shadow.
This thing has to be exposed sooner or later.
However, he still has to hide it before revealing it, after all, he is still developing.
As long as he is given some time, he may not be able to develop a super metropolis.
Therefore, in the face of this demand of the Europeans, it is absolutely impossible to agree.
But how to get rid of them is a question that needs to be carefully considered.
"Don't be afraid, this matter is not unsolvable. The Dutch were in the East at the beginning, and they could not establish diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, they could not even enter the country, and they could only move around Macao in the end. I think we might as well use this to target Europeans. Anyway, our army is still very deterrent to them, so we don't have to worry about not being able to get them. ”
Zhao Hongyu thought of the way the Ming Dynasty treated the Dutch in history, and he felt that he could learn from it.
"Contact us in Manhattan as a liaison office, no more than 10 people. And you can't leave the city of Manhattan, and if you violate it, you will be punished severely......"
Suddenly, Zhao Hongyu came up with a foreign regulation and a system for Europeans to make them follow.
in front of the eyes. I can only fool around like this.
Zhang Tie has no objection to this method.
At this time, this method is not the most effective one.
"Your Highness, I'll tell them to go."
Zhang Tie nodded in response.
"As long as we have a metropolis of a million people. Then we can think of it as the capital. Everything is slow, let's drag them down if we can, you have to know this problem. Zhao Hongyu saw Zhang Tie respond. And he commanded him again.
Of course, when Zhao Hongyu said that the population is more than one million, it does not all refer to genetic people.
After all, there must be a million genetic human population. He didn't know how long he would have to wait.
After all, he has a lot of problems to consider when cultivating genetic people.
The number of human races, the genetically human germline, loyalty, coercion, and so on.
One is not good, and a rebellion will arise.
This is what Zhao Hongyu is most afraid of.
Now Zhao Hongyu instructed his 'township chiefs' to make every effort to cultivate the genetic people of the Huaxia system. At most, the number of people will grow by less than 10,000 people a month, and it will be a long time to have 1 million people.
So, it depends on the absorption of the Indians.
If all goes well, it is estimated that within a few years a metropolis with a population of one million people will appear.
But the problem is not right now.
"Your Highness, I understand. Don't worry, I'll know what to say to the Europeans in the future. Zhang Tie nodded and replied when he heard this.
On the other side, Wang Shan had already found Sara and was talking to her about the French envoy.
"The Queen, these emissaries came from France, claiming to represent Queen Marie and the Duke of Orleans, as well as a number of other nobles. They want to talk to you about the members of the Samuel family, saying that you have been away from France for too long and that those people miss you very much. ”
Wang Shan lowered his head and relayed the words of the envoys as they were.
In fact, Wang Shan understood the meaning of these words very clearly, but it was just a hint that Sara had let her know that those women of the Samus family were now in the hands of these people.
"These bastards!"
Sure enough, as Wang Shan guessed, Sara cursed in a low voice after listening to his relay.
"Is that all they said to you?"
Sara held back the discomfort in her heart and asked with the same expression.
"They want to meet you."
Wang Shan uttered the request of these French envoys.
They wanted to see me just to talk to me, and they were using the women of the Samuel family as bargaining chips to coerce me into making some concessions.
Now that Quebec's affairs are a foregone conclusion, they have no way to fight Quebec's idea anymore. So they would have made a fuss about other issues, so the widows of the Samuel family fell into his hands.
It seems that they know me too well and know what can threaten me.
Sarah's face didn't move, but her heart was very sad.
Originally, she thought that the matter in Quebec could be solved, but she didn't expect that Mary and the others would actually control the women of the Samus family as a means of threatening her.
But this method is very useful.
"Queen, if you have anything to do, you may wish to tell me about it. Maybe I can solve your problems in the next or not, I hope the queen will think about it seriously. ”
Although he couldn't see anything from Sarah's face, Wang Shan certainly knew what Sara was thinking in his heart at the moment.
As Zhao Hongyu's personal follower, he is of course obliged to solve difficulties for his Royal Highness's women. Because in Wang Shan's opinion, His Highness's women are in difficulty, it will affect His Highness.
And it affected His Royal Highness, but it was not a good thing.
How can His Highness be influenced, this must not happen.
As a good dog, he has to solve all the problems for His Highness and the women around him.
This is a gold medal dogleg.
For Wang Shan, Sara still knows a little.
She has always had a good relationship with Emma, so she also learned something from Emma's mouth.
For example, this Wang Shan is responsible for and manages the royal guard legion, and is also in charge of a secret organization, which can be said to have considerable power, and Zhao Hongyu also trusts him very much in his heart.
So as Zhao Hongyu's second wife, for such a powerful figure, it is necessary to maintain respect.
Such a powerful person, saying that he can solve this matter for her, may be true.
But either way, it's never a bad thing to give it a try.
Besides, there's really nothing she can do now, is she?
"I'm going to have a hard time, if you're going to help me, then let me tell you more about it." After Sara was silent for a while, she said to Wang Shan.
Wang Shan smiled: "Queen, I am not just helping you, but helping Your Highness, helping you who have become his family." As a member of the Empire and a nobleman, I have a duty to serve the members of the Imperial Family and solve the troubles of the Imperial Family. And if these French coerce you with anything, it will simply discredit the face of our empire and provoke the authority of our royal family. ”
Wang Shan is very good at talking, and Sara was stunned for what he said.
It's just that Queen Mary wants to make a little favor and threatens them with members of the Samuel family.
But being pulled by Wang Shan like this, it actually dragged the face of the royal family of the Song Empire.
But Sara then thought about it carefully, and it didn't seem wrong to say so.
Now she is really the wife of the crown prince and a member of the royal family. (To be continued.) )
