The charm of tobacco has swept over these red-haired fans from the Netherlands, and almost everyone has the "blue sand" cigarettes produced by Daming Tobacco Company in front of them.

As for why it came up with such a strange name, even the design craftsmen of the tobacco company couldn't understand it.

In the end, Zhu Youzhen thought the name was quite good.

With a wave of his hand, he said, "Isn't that good?" It means that climbing high and looking far away is the peak of the man-made mountain..."

In fact, even Zhu Youzhen himself felt a little unbearable in this sentence, but he fell in love with this one of his favorite cigarettes in later generations with the same name at a glance.

Turning his head, a Ming cigarette was burning between his fingers, and the yellowed fingers that had been smoked could show that the Marquis of Pulit loved the Ming Dynasty's roasted tobacco.

I saw him open his mouth and say: "What kind of way does Master Bi think the rubber trade between us and Daming should be carried out now.... I think we should listen more to Daming's attitude towards this matter, do you think that's the case..."

Halfway through speaking, Pulit turned his head to look at all the other members of the Dutch East India Company or some merchant representatives of the famous maritime fleet, and everyone said in unison: "Yes! His Excellency the Marquis is right! We should first listen to Daming's attitude towards this matter. ”

Bi Ziyan knew that Pulit was holding back a bad stomach.

If you want to stand on behalf of Da Ming, once you say that Da Ming is on the side of the Dutch, this group of shameless Tessie red-haired businessmen will start round after round of wars for the purpose of rubber at a speed that God is ashamed of.

And in the name of it, it was only because the merchant ships of other Taixi countries invaded their brother country, the Ming Dynasty.

There are many reasons for the freedom of trade or the right to fair trade, but in many cases, the reason for starting a war is not necessarily the most concerned.

Profit is.

And Bi Ziyan squinted his eyes slightly, and the lingering smell of tobacco in the room made his nasal cavities feel a little uncomfortable.

I only heard him clear his throat and say: "For this rubber trade, the emperor has no opinion, only one request is as soon as possible!" ”

"Ahh No, it can't be like this, our Dutch East India Company is the most sincere trading partner of Daming. ”

A Dutch businessman jumped out of his seat as if he had been trampled on with his high heels.

A little angry at Bi Ziyan said, and the Marquis of Pulit on the side was also frowning, Da Ming's attitude should not be like this...

In every previous trade, with the previous purchase of Ming Empire bonds, the largest share was often occupied by the Dutch East India Company.

But now in this trade, Daming only looks at the results, but doesn't care where the object of purchase comes from.

Makes Pulit a little irritable.

Bi Ziyan then spoke again: "You don't have to look at this official with such eyes, the emperor has already made a decision on this matter, and now Daming needs rubber, whether it is raw rubber or cooked rubber, as long as the quality is qualified, we will spend silver to buy it." ”

"At the moment, we don't have a cap on this!"

As soon as Bi Ziyan's words fell, everyone on the side screamed.

"Oh! O my God! Is there no upper limit? The wealth of Daming is indeed beyond all of our expectations. ”

"Just. . . In other words? No matter how much rubber we ship from overseas, will Daming accept it all? ”

With such doubts, Bi Ziyan smiled and then said: "This official has made it very clear, as long as the quality is qualified, Daming wants all of them, there is no upper limit!" There is no upper limit on the number or even the time, anytime! ”

It takes a long time for rubber trees to start production gradually, and the process of manufacturing industrial rubber from petroleum is even more complicated.

So only at such times, no matter how expensive, is it necessary to stock up on as much rubber as possible.

Otherwise, in Zhu Youzhen's view, rubber in the future will be tightly embraced with war, and it will become more and more difficult.

Those greedy Tessie merchants will risk the possibility of war with the Ming Dynasty and cling to the keys to their rubber warehouses or rubber plantations for the sake of more profits... They can do anything.

Pulit stopped everyone's excited expressions and said directly: "Is this what His Majesty the Venerable Emperor Ming said personally?" ”

"Well, not only what the emperor said, but also a special decree, and the Ming court has also begun to make efforts for this."

When Pulit heard Bi Ziyan's words, his heart instantly settled, but he was a little puzzled about what he meant by making efforts, so he said: "I don't know what Bi said about making efforts... What does that mean? ”

Bi Ziyan chuckled and said: "Da Ming is spreading the word that Da Ming needs to buy this magical rubber tree sap in unlimited quantities through all the port cities that can trade with the outside world, and we are willing to spend a lot of money to buy this kind of tree or the seeds of a living tree." ”

"Outreach?" Plitt was suddenly shocked, and he didn't care about the Daming cigarettes he cherished the most in his hand, so he stood up and asked in disbelief.

And Bi Ziyan did not change his complexion.

With a smile on his face, he looked at Pulit and said: "Da Ming can continue to expand trade channels with the Dutch East India Company, and even say that he can give you the largest share of foreign procurement of various commodities, which is agreed by the emperor." ”

"But this time the rubber trade is not the same, this time Daming does not set any restrictions on this, anyone can get a piece of the rubber trade this time, and Daming will also ensure their safety in Daming's waters."

Pulit instantly felt that he knew where the uneasy feeling he had been coming from.

In the rubber trade of Daming this time, it is not that he cares most about the fact that he does not have too much partiality for the Dutch East India Company, but that he cares about whether this impartial attitude will be extended and influenced by continuous extension....

Touching the Dutch East India Company and other trade items of the Ming Dynasty, this was the point he was most concerned about, so he only heard Plitt speak directly and said: "Then other trade items."

"It's as it was! The emperor didn't say anything about it. ”
