Chapter 1398: Capsizing in the Gutter

"Dry tobacco?"

Shu Xinchen frowned and asked, "I know about dry tobacco, but I don't smoke that thing, it's too choking, but if it's ordinary goods, you can just declare and pay taxes directly?" The Ming Dynasty has never forbidden Western goods to enter the customs, as long as you pay customs duties normally, there will be no problem, it shouldn't be something prohibited, right? ”

"Where?"

He hurriedly replied: "General Shu, this thing is sold in various countries, it is used as medicine, if someone is sick or injured and needs surgery, it can be used to relieve pain, we Westerners call him opium, in your Daming, we call him poppy, I have to say, this thing is still very good in analgesia......

"Analgesic ......"

Shu Xinchen muttered, this is not bad, if it can obviously relieve the pain, then in the war, those injured soldiers can suffer less......

However, Shu Xinchen still didn't dare to be careless, for fear that there would be some traps in it, and said in a low voice: "Well, this matter has been written down by the general, I don't have anything, but I need to restore the Governor, listen to the Governor's meaning, if there is no other obstacle, it should be possible to open the ...... in Daming."

"Haha, then thank you General Shu, General Shu, I specially prepared this opium, I want to enjoy it with General Shu, you can taste it, relax the muscles, invigorate the blood, relieve fatigue, refresh the mind, I will never lie to your ......"

He laughed and said.

"Really?"

Shu Xinchen didn't worry about hurting him, and he didn't have the courage to do it, just try it, if it really works, it's a beautiful thing......

The contract was thus temporarily determined, and Shu Xinchen surprisingly stayed in Relanza City for one night, and returned to Quanzhou City the next day to meet Sun Chuanting, who was sitting in Quanzhou City.

"Xinchen, how are things going? Is it all going well? ”

Sun Chuanting asked with a smile.

Shu Xinchen hurriedly bowed down and said: "It's not going well, Master Inspector, the three requirements I put forward, except for the rental fee dropped from one million taels to six hundred thousand taels, the rest of the Dutch almost accepted it, it seems that they were frightened by our actions this time......

Sun Chuanting nodded and replied: "Also, the Dutch forces in Yizhou alone are not enough at all, they are not our opponents yet, and it is a matter of time before they are soft, but I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and this harvest is a bit unexpected for us." ”

Shu Xinchen smiled proudly and replied: "That's it, my old Shu personally went out, and he can scare them to death!" However, there is one point, we really need to pay attention to it, the strength of the Dutch in Yizhou is stronger than we imagined, the two military fortresses, only ten miles apart, the city wall is tall, compared to the Zhending Mansion or the Daimyo Mansion is not much better, and the city head is all red-coated artillery, only the city of Geranza, the deployment of artillery is no less than fifty, in addition, in the Luermen Military Port, the Dutch also built two cannonballs, and also has dozens of red-coated artillery, which is not small, Once we launch an attack on Yizhou, it will be difficult to capture without mobilizing heavy troops......"

Sun Chuanting's heart was shocked, Shu Xinchen has been in battle for a long time, I believe that this vision is still there, a Gelansha has deployed more than fifty artillery, this strength is really not weak, you know, the entire Tianxiong Army now only has one hundred and twenty artillery.

Sun Chuanting immediately smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, after all, this is at the door of our Ming Empire, they can't afford to let the Dutch go wild, and give them a few years of comfortable life, at most three years, I think the emperor will definitely do it, he doesn't have such good patience, your mission went smoothly this time, General Zheng Cai's side is also very smooth, the rest of the official party on the side of Jilong Town has been returned to the imperial court, and some of the remnants on Dachen Island have also returned to Shun at the same time, and now General Zheng Cai has set his sights on Nanyang, He wants to persuade the rest of the Zheng family in Nanyang to surrender and establish a base in Nanyang at the same time. ”

Shu Xinchen was overjoyed, I have to say that the soldiers of the Fujian Navy Division may be very bad on land, but once they are on the sea, each of them is a hero, and the most important thing is that they are familiar with the situation on the sea, this sailing experience is not so easy to cultivate, it can be said that these soldiers who have been drifting on the sea all the year round are each a treasure!

Shu Xinchen hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Inspector, there is another small matter, I need to report it to you......

Sun Chuanting smiled: "Say it." ”

"That's right, this time things went well, the Dutch put forward a condition to me, I want to sell a drug in the Ming Empire, what is called opium, something similar to a dry tobacco bag, that one said, what is that thing called poppy in the Ming Dynasty, the lower officials are shallow, I haven't heard of it, I don't know if the adults have heard of it?"

"Poppy?"

Sun Chuanting frowned, shook his head slightly, and replied: "I haven't heard of this, since it is a medicine, what is the effect of this opium?" ”

Shu Xinchen hurriedly replied: "Analgesia, there is also a relief of fatigue, refreshment, when the lower official was in Relansha, that one also accompanied me to try it out, it is indeed a good effect, after taking a few sips, I suddenly felt a hundred times more energetic, very tired, by the way, when I came back, that one also sent some to the lower official, or, Master Inspector, you also try?" ”

Sun Chuanting shook his head and said: "Forget it, this official is not interested, since you have already tried the efficacy of the medicine, then it doesn't hurt to promise them, as long as you can pay taxes to the customs normally, a little thing, nothing, when will this contract take effect?" ”

Shu Xinchen said with a smile: "Soon, since the adults have no different opinions, then the lower officials will return to Gelanza tomorrow and sign an agreement with Yuyi, and at the same time, they will also pay the silver in half a month!" ”

Sun Chuanting nodded and replied: "Since this is the case, then sign the agreement, and besides, you and I need to jointly hand over the concert to the emperor, and it is ...... to report to the imperial court."

Although Sun Chuanting and Shu Xinchen are both very shrewd, but this time they are considered to have fallen into the house, and they were completely calculated by the Dutch, there is no way, the two of them have never seen this thing, and they don't know what harm this thing is hiding, so they agreed to it ignorantly, but they caused a huge trouble for themselves.

Unlucky, two people are unlucky.
