Zhao Hongyu and the others came to Lisbon, a city affiliated with Portugal, but the city's host Portugal is controlled by Spain.

Therefore, Sara really couldn't understand the use of having a wasteland here.

She really doesn't understand, and even thinks that this little man of hers is a loser.

"Your Royal Highness, the details are a bit complicated, and I can't tell you clearly for a while. But what I can tell you is that it is very beneficial for us to have a concession here. Sara's puzzled question Wang Shan really couldn't answer clearly in a short period of time, so he knew that Sara had a good point about it, and the benefits were great.

The concession had judicial power and was not subject to Portuguese jurisdiction, and criminals who entered the concession were also held and arrested by the concession itself, and the Portuguese army had no right to enter the concession......

While the two were chatting, Wang Shan pointed to Sara as she wrote the agreement documents.

When Sara writes about the right to the concession, she suddenly realizes that if this concession is done in this way, it will be a country within a country.

"If you do this, aren't you a nation within a nation? And there is also the right to garrison, and Portuguese justice cannot be implemented in the concession, what are you doing here? After having such doubts, Sara lowered her voice and asked Wang Shan.

hehe

Hearing this, Wang Shan laughed. When the laughter stopped, Wang Shan replied: "Yes, we are going to be a country within a country." And the most important thing in this concession is the right to garrison troops in the concession, and other powers. Basically, it's the equivalent of spending a little money to buy a fixed-term enclave here in Lisbon. ”

Sara was speechless for a while, and after a long while, she said to Wang Shan: "Meghan is not a fool, he will not agree to such a condition, you must know that Lu Dao is tantamount to putting aside the interests of Portugal." ”

Wang Shan pursed his lips: "Meghan is an official appointed by Spain, not Portuguese. And Spain is now financially strained. Their military operations in the Netherlands were not good, so we paid 30,000 gold pesos a year to rent the land, which was a lot of money for them. Therefore, the Spanish side will not refuse, and Meghan wants the agency of white sugar, so he will not have any problems here, it is all due to interests, isn't it. ”

Wang Shanda said that after a big call, Sara pondered for a moment, which made sense.

Today's Spanish kings are poor and can't wear pants, as long as they don't say anything and let them sell their butts, it's probably okay. Now that there are people here in Lisbon who are paying to rent wasteland, how can they not want to.

That's 30,000 gold pesos a year, which is equivalent to 300,000 or 400,000 silver pesos.

And the cost of maintaining a 10,000-strong army raises salaries. That's just a year.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Spanish side not to pay attention.

Besides, Lisbon is Portuguese, and even if it loses benefits, it is Portugal's interest, and Spain has nothing to lose, right?

Therefore, Wang Shan can conclude that this plan of His Royal Highness can be completely successful.

Hey

The first concession in Europe was taken.

It's not big, it's only a kilometer. But Wang Shan is confident that as long as they come and go with Europe. The expansion of this concession is a sure thing.

Moreover, Zhao Hongyu wants to use this concession to do great things, and it is not necessary that the scope of the concession will be expanded soon.

Ha Luha, who knows the way, but things always have to be done, don't they?

It took Sara eight sheets of brown paper to finish the whole jump. It is densely written the rights enjoyed by the concession. This is, of course, within the concession, and as for the original interests of Lisbon, it remains the same.

In other words, Lisbon's interests were not touched, and Meghan was still able to receive so many taxes.

And after having the concession. He can also pay 30,000 gold pesos a year, which is quite a lot of money.

All he had to pay was a wasteland on the outskirts of Lisbon, a place where no one went at all. No one has developed wasteland that will never be used.

This is simply equivalent to Zhao Hongyu sending money to Spain, which is a good thing.

The explanation given by Zhao Hongyu for the independent judicial power and garrison power in the concession is very simple. In order to deal with those unlawless Imperial personnel on their own, the garrison was to protect the security of the concession on its own.

Such a statement makes sense, it depends on whether Spain and Meghan are more serious or not.

If it's true, it's really troublesome.

However, with the 30,000 gold pesos opening the way and Meghan acting as an agent for the white sugar transaction, I think these problems will be easily dealt with.

"Okay, I'm done. See if there's anything missing, and if not, we'll take it out and give it to them. After Sara finished writing the agreement documents, she raised her head and looked at Wang Shandao.

"Oh, it's already written. Then I'll take a look, and hopefully there won't be any omissions. After coming over, Wang Shan picked up the English document and looked at it carefully, thanks to Sara for writing these documents in three languages: English, Latin, and Spanish, otherwise it would be really difficult for Wang Shan to read it.

After carefully reading the document in the citation version, Wang Shan put down the agreement document in his hand and looked at Sara and said, "Very good, there is nothing missing, I think we can go out now." ”

Although Sara still has a lot to ask Wang Shan and many questions about the concession, it is clear that now is not the time to explore this issue.

After sorting out the agreement documents, Sara and Wang Shan left the captain's room.

Zhao Hongyu and Megan on the top of the attic were chatting and laughing, and it could be seen that the two of them were chatting happily.

And Emma disappeared at this time, and I don't know where the little girl ran there at this time.

"What about Emma, why is Emma gone?"

Sara asked when she walked up and looked left and right to see Emma and didn't see her.

"She's gone to see her cougar, and it's boring for the little guy to be here."

Zhao Hongyu shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"Oh, this cream cake is so delicious, it's the first time I've known that there is such delicious food in the world."

At this time, Megan put down the plate containing the cake in her hand and gestured to Sarah.

During the time when Sara and Wang Shan left, Zhao Hongyu invited Megan to taste milk tea and cake, so that Megan could enjoy the pleasure of being impacted by her taste buds.

Seriously, there is no such thing as cake in this day and age.

Meghan, on the other hand, may be the first European to taste this food.

As soon as he took his first bite of the cake, he was immediately overwhelmed by the milky and sweet taste.

After adding the fragrant milk tea, he realized that the original food could be so delicious. The food I used to eat was rubbish.

However, Zhao Hongyu told him that it was just some small snacks, not a meal.

In the main meal of ordinary people in the Song Empire, when it was now three dishes and one soup, Megan was envious and jealous.

Oh my God, compared to the people of the Song Empire, he, a nobleman, really looks like a beggar.

At this time, ordinary people in Europe still ate the kind of boiled oatmeal paste. This kind of food is what ordinary families eat twice a day, but in the Song Empire in the Americas, it has begun to have three dishes and one soup, and three or even four meals a day.

God, what kind of life is this, is it possible that the people of the Song Empire in the Americas are so rich.

From some ordinary things, basically Meghan can infer the living conditions of the people of the Song Empire in the Americas, which is very reasonable.

Besides, those maritime merchants and sailors who went to Manhattan to do trade would also talk about the Americas when they returned to Europe, and Meghan also knew a lot about them one by one.

Therefore, he didn't think that Zhao Hongyu was bragging.

At least that's what many people say, and Zhao Hongyu is just a person from the Americas, who just proves these things.

In fact, there are also reasons why the people of the Song Empire in the Americas lived well, first of all, there were fewer people and more land there, which was completely different from Europe.

Europe has more people and less land, and most of the land is annexed by the big landlords and nobles, which leads to two extremes: the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

But such a situation was not seen in the Song Empire.

Because the Song Empire was born for a short time, and the land was controlled under the umbrella, even Zhao Hongyu only used a small part, and the genetic people allocated the land to establish farms and manors.

Therefore, the people of the empire in Manhattan will live a good life.

In addition to the Mohican people on Manhattan Island, they are also cultivating land to grow crops, and this year, when waiting for the autumn harvest, Manhattan will have more abundant food for the winter.

Even so, there are still many lands in the empire, and they are all hung with the Umbrella Company.

Europe is no match for the Song Empire.

In addition, the Americas are very rich, there are many kinds of wild animals, and there are also many fish resources, so it is easy to obtain protein, so this is better than in Europe.

In Europe at this time, wild animals have been depleted by poor people, even the fish in streams and rivers have been caught, and the fish resources in the coastal waters are slowly shrinking.

It can be said that Europe today is really not comparable to that of the Americas.

If it weren't for Zhao Hongyu's appearance, the Europeans would be able to rise again with the American continent.

But the problem is that history has deviated, and Zhao Hongyu, an outsider, broke into this era and rewrote the history of the Americas.

Therefore, it is a little unlikely that Europe will also want to rise to the top of the earth through the natural resources and land of the American continent according to the original historical process.

It's just that for some, Meghan can't know the way. (To be continued.) )
