Several Chinese businessmen present looked at Su Langqing with unkind faces, this time the purpose of the negotiation is to discuss the relevant tariffs on East India goods coming to Luzon, what do you mean by directly calling it buying.

Su Langqing didn't care, but Anderson's previous words reminded him that it was still good for woolen wool to attract the upper echelons of the nobility as a luxury item.

Since the Su family planned to ask for some land from the local princely chieftains, instead of giving the Su family their own imitation woolen products, it was better to buy them directly from the merchants of the East India Company.

Luzon was under the rule of the Spaniards for many years, and its chieftains and princes were naturally familiar with luxury goods such as woolen wool that were popular in Europe, and the gift of Western woolen woolen was more popular with the princes of the princely states.

For the officials of the Ming court, Su Langqing can also use these Western woolen wool to dot up, and it is also good to use silk, cotton cloth, and wool fabrics such as Western-style woolen wool.

"Of course, I, Minghai, also hope to transport a few ships full of cotton cloth and silk to the East Indies." Su Langqing glanced at Anderson and smiled.

"Of course, no problem." Anderson didn't care, he was able to sell these unsalable woolen wool more than he expected.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the tariffs related to the flow of woolen into the Luzon market ......" Anderson glanced at the Uda people in official uniforms.

"The feather satin is the one who is the highest, and the one who is inferior is only equal to the satin." Zhao Zhou took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Eight feet and nine folds per zhang, one dollar and eight cents are taxed, and the next feather satin is according to the beep satin example, and each zhang is eight feet and nine folds, and the tax is one dollar and eight cents."

Zhaozhou is also an old man who has been in the shopping mall for a long time, and has his own opinions on how much tariff should be charged for Western luxury goods such as woolen wool, which is more suitable for import and export, and more suitable for flowing into the Luzon market.

This is also the reason why Liu Yu will put the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in full responsibility, compared to those officials who sit in the court, these Chinese businessmen who stay in Nanyang and trade with Hongyi all the year round know better about the value of goods, and how to formulate corresponding tariffs to control the inflow and sale of goods to the greatest extent.

Several Ming court officials discussed with each other, and there were no objections.

For this kind of Western treasure, its expensive price is destined to be unrelated to the common people, and it is not impossible to earn much silver taels, and it is not impossible to hand it over to Hua to negotiate taxes.

"Ming Ting wants to recruit a group of shipwrights and technicians from the East India Company, but I don't know if the East India Company will approve it or what kind of offer it will make." Uda finally said what the Ming court wanted.

What the Luzon Ming court lacked today was a warship, the kind of warship that could fight at sea.

The Great Bird was a good performer, but it was as weak as a small bird compared to the Western battleships, and now the shipyard can only be rebuilt by adding artillery to the galleon from the galleon that detained the Spanish merchants.

However, along the coast of Luzon, there are so many big ships that can be looted by the Ming court, and the ships that can be modified and collected have been converted into warships by shipyards.

Therefore, the Ming court was in urgent need of new warships, which is why the Ming court was willing to pay for the purchase of second-hand armed merchant ships from the East India Company.

"Of course." Anderson nodded without thinking.

"At the beginning, our East India Company sent firearms craftsmen and designers to assist you Ming people in the production of muskets and small-caliber post-loading artillery, and now the Ming Court hopes that the East India Company can send shipwrights to Luzon, naturally there is no problem, as long as the price is right, it is in the interests of the East India Company." Anderson showed a pair of greedy eyes, obviously about the lion to open his mouth.

"Hmph, it depends on whether the shipwrights of your East India Company have real talent and learning, and if you can build a big treasure ship like the Spaniards, you can naturally be treated as a guest." Uda snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with the English people's behavior of releasing pigeons.

"Well, if you want to build a big ship like the Spanish sail battleship, the shipwrights of the East Indies can't build it, whether it is the required timber or the construction drawings including the shipyard and the corresponding workers, artillery and other configurations, there is no one in the South Seas who can build it now." Anderson's face was embarrassed, and he swallowed back before he could extort the idea of extorting Mingren's sky-high labor fees.

"That's a pity, the East India Company appointed twenty English craftsmen to assist the Ming army in improving firearms, and the Ming army paid two thousand taels of silver for this, and gave them monthly salaries, rice coupons, and even set aside a manor for them to live, but it's a pity." Uda shook his head.

"My lord, it is natural that you can't build a sail battleship to compete with the Spaniards, but you can still improve the existing big bird ships of the Ming army and build a new type of clipper." Anderson obviously did his homework, and he also knew something about the existing ship types of the Ming army.

"What if we build a light Galen?" Uda asked again.

Galen ships were not only equipped by the Spaniards, but also by the English, Dutch and other Western colonists in the South Seas.

It's just that because of their respective national conditions, the English, Spanish and Dutch have all developed Galen ships with their own characteristics.

In the middle of the 17th century, the Galen ships used by the East India Company were small Galen galleons of 300 to 500 tons.

The Spaniards, on the other hand, needed to transport large quantities of gold and silver mined in the Americas, so they used 1,200-ton behemoths.

The English designed Galen ships had the wall panels of the lower hull through so that heavy guns could be placed on the lower deck.

The plump shape inherited from the Clark sailboat has been modified so that the length of the keel is three times the width of the ship, and the structure of the ship building has been simplified, especially the size of the front ship.

In the end, the speed and maneuverability of the English Galen ships were better than those of the Spaniards.

The queen's ship that the Ming court valued was this type of Galen ship.

For the Queen's ship, the Ming army can be said to be salivating, this is second only to the Spaniard's Galen treasure ship, but unfortunately the East India Company does not sell it.

Now that the English have built a commercial hall, Wuda naturally wants to take the opportunity to ask.

"Hm......" Anderson was speechless, this was obviously beyond his scope of business, he was just a businessman, it was already great to know the type of ship equipped by the Akito, how did he know if the shipwrights in the East India Company's reserve had the ability to build the queen's ship.

Even if there is, it is like a treasure, how can it be sent to Luzon.

"Ahem...... Zhao Zhou coughed heavily.

"My lord, let's discuss the matter of the English Merchant House today, and discuss the matter of inconsequential matters later." Zhaozhou Road.

Wuda was a little too much this time, and Zhao Zhou also had a trace of anger on his face.

This time, he negotiated with English merchants about the establishment of a museum in Laoag, and Lord Liu Yu was entrusted to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, mainly to discuss the tariffs on East Indian goods entering Luzon and the number of East Indian merchant ships entering the port of Laoag, as well as the residence and business rights of East Indian merchants in Luzon after the establishment of the merchant hall.

As a result, a cadre of Ming court officials directly talked about warships and artillery.

I don't know, I think that the Ming Court is going to fight with someone.
