Chapter 1440: We Don't Carry This Pot

Really!

Zhu Jie continued: "Kluivert, at the beginning, your governor, Count Cohen, once said that he was willing to exchange two million taels of silver for the right to open the Dongying trade, hehe, I don't embarrass you, since he said it, then according to his requirements, I will give you this grace, the East India Company of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, deliver two million taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty, and the trade rights of Dongying are at your fingertips!" ”

Belch......

Kluivert's face darkened suddenly, two million taels of silver, this, it's not that the East India Company can't afford it, but, it's too unfair!

"Your Majesty! How can this be done? It's the same Western country, how can you treat it differently? ”

Kluivert said urgently, "Where is this?" This envoy demands equal treatment with the three countries! ”

Ha ha......

Zhao Zhenghang on the side laughed and said, "Equal treatment? You're so beautiful! People England, Spain and that Portugal, did they loot our Ordnance Division? Did they sell weapons to the Zheng family? Also, this time you four countries are acting, it can't be that you Dutch are taking the lead, right? After all the bad things have been done, you still want to be treated the same as the three of them? Are you so white? ”

Hahaha, in the main hall, almost all the courtiers laughed, Kluivert's face was red, but he was helpless, who let the East India Company provoke the Ming Empire before? Can you not be slaughtered now?

"Mr. Three Envoys......"

Kluivert turned his head and looked at the other three messengers.

At this time, where will Garcia and the others care about the life and death of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and take advantage of themselves, so they will naturally make a fortune in silence, and no one will speak?

"You, you! Before the envoy, what did the governors explain, advance and retreat together! Have you all forgotten now? ”

"Advance and retreat together?"

Zhu Jie's eyes immediately turned cold, and he sneered: "I see, I'm sorry, Kluivert, I have changed my mind, and you must be punished for your actions, and each of the four countries will increase by 200,000 taels of silver!" ”

Don't mind......

Garcia and James haven't spoken yet, Solomon on the side can't sit still, in the South Seas, their Portugal's strength is the weakest, and the benefits they can get are the smallest, one million taels of silver, Portugal can take it out, but it will increase by 200,000 taels again, that's not good, this white silver is not falling from the sky!

"Your Majesty!"

Solomon hurriedly shouted: "There is no such thing, there is no such thing, we just feel that it is a little inappropriate for your country to capture Dongying and destroy it, so we just sent troops, and there is absolutely no intention of forming an alliance in tandem......"

Joke, Dongying trade, for Portugal, the silver that can be earned every year, that is, the profit of five or six hundred thousand taels, even if Dongying fully opens the sea ban, the silver that can be earned will not exceed one million taels, and the profit of that year is enough to buy the road money, if you give 200,000 taels of silver in plain water, it may be two years of profits to be thrown in! Why should we Portugal follow your Kingdom of the Netherlands to accompany you? You earn so much money a year, and you should pay more!

"Solomon, are you crazy?"

Kluivert was in a hurry and shouted.

Solomon pursed his lips and replied, "Kluivert, why do you want us Portugal to bear the blame for all the dirty things you have done yourself?" Who made your idle eggs hurt and ransacked the Yamen of the Ordnance Department in Nanjing City? If Portugal had sacked your arsenal in Amsterdam, I'm afraid you would have declared war on Portugal a long time ago, right? Sorry, this pot, we don't carry it! ”

"yes,"

James on the side sneered: "Kluivert, why do you want to tie up our Kingdom of England for the sins you have done in the Kingdom of the Netherlands?" Solomon is right, we will not carry this black cauldron, Your Majesty the Emperor, please be merciful and forgive us the amount of 200,000 taels of silver......"

Zhu Jie sneered in his heart, people die for money, birds die for food, the alliance of the four countries is too loose, they only need to plant a little thorn among them, they will all be numb claws, how about it, now it is divided, as long as some of their requirements are met, they will naturally be divided!

"James, so your Kingdom of England has agreed to the request of the Ming Empire?"

Zhu Jie asked.

"Yes, yes!"

"Yes, yes! We say yes too! ”

"We say yes too!"

James, Garcia and Solomon are not stupid, who can pay a million taels of silver to solve the problem, who is so stupid to pay 1.2 million taels of silver or more? If there is really a war, the benefits may not be obtained, and the losses caused by the war are also quite huge, especially Portugal, at least, Australia and Mongolia have the territory they want......

"In this case, I will agree to come down, and I will give you such a grace, one million taels of silver for each country, and then, allow your three countries to conduct free trade in Dongying, however, you must strictly abide by the laws of the Dongying Qingshan Shogunate, if you dare to make trouble, then don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!"

There was a hint of chill in Zhu Jie's indifferent tone.

Kluivert is about to cry, and now he is the commander of the light pole, what the hell is going on? Damn, if you go back with this treaty, I'm afraid that Governor Cohen will pull out a layer of his own skin!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Please also ask Your Majesty to be gracious so that the Kingdom of the Netherlands can enjoy the same treatment as the Three Kingdoms......"

If the hard one doesn't work, let's go for the soft one......

However, now that the Three Kingdoms have been settled, where will Zhu Jie make concessions to the Kingdom of the Netherlands? The big deal is to start a war, anyway, the three kingdoms have gained benefits, and they will not stand on the same front with the Dutch Kingdom, just one fleet of the Dutch Kingdom East India Company, Zhu Jie has not yet taken it into account, and Cha Zhu will definitely deal with it.

"Hehe, I'm sorry! Kluivert, this condition is the minimum condition I have offered, two million taels of silver, and one tael of silver cannot be less! The advantage of the Ming Empire is not something that anyone can take advantage of if they want to. As for the Ming Dynasty's abolition of tariffs on goods, the four of you listen, as long as your four countries are willing to exempt the goods of the Ming Empire from duty, then I will be exempted from customs duties, it is not impossible, free of duty, the problem is not in the Ming Empire, but in your four Western countries, mutual tariff exemption, I am absolutely necessary, it depends on you! I'm tired, retreat from the dynasty, Bai Gu, Li Yan, the matter of signing the treaty will be handed over to you, if they are willing to sign it, then sign it, if they are not willing to sign it, send it out of the country, there is no need to report it! ”

As Zhu Jie spoke, he waved his robe sleeves and hung everyone on the main hall of the Qianqing Palace!
