Carlos' eyes widened and he stared at Zheng Zhilong in disbelief.

When did the famous Nicholas Yiguan start charity?

No, it can't be that simple. Akito is very treacherous.

"Mr. Zheng, but what are the conditions?"

Yo, this red-haired devil isn't stupid.

Zheng Zhilong smiled and continued:

"No conditions, didn't you say, we will provide you with seeds. But the food you grow must be unconditionally recycled. ”

"Can you tell us exactly how you recycle it?"

"By the number of seeds we offer. For example, how many acres of land are planted with the seeds we provide, we have to recover the output of those fields. ”

"Collect it all?"

"Of course not, what did you eat after all of it? 400 catties per acre of land. ”

"I'll just say, but 400 pounds is not a lot. What should I do if those farming guys can't get enough to eat? ”

"I don't see it, you Frankies are quite particular. But four hundred pounds is the minimum. We have a casual yield of more than eight or nine hundred catties per mu! The recycling of more than 400 catties is less than half, which is higher than your original total output. It turned out that I didn't see many people starving to death, and I still had the strength to run to our Taiwan to cause disaster.

Now tell me not enough to eat? How? Now your farming is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas? You and I don't know what life the natives of Luzon lived? What big-tailed wolf is in front of me now?

I'm putting the words aside now, this kind of thing, you can buy it if you like it, if you don't like to buy it, get out! That's it! ”

Zheng Zhilong immediately became angry, pointing at Carlos's nose and scolding, Carlos's face turned blue and white, and he didn't dare to refute.

For a while, Carlos barely managed to squeeze out a smile on his face.

"Mr. Zheng, aren't we discussing, look at you, why are you still in a hurry?"

"Carlos, be content. This kind of thing, if you dare to talk about the conditions, I will sell it to the Dutch people and see who suffers! ”

"Don't, Mr. Zheng! Do as you say! Recycle unconditionally! ”

It's okay not to mention the Netherlands, but Carlos is in a hurry to mention the Netherlands.

Now that the two countries are bitter rivals, and the Netherlands is getting stronger and stronger, if they are allowed to buy such a high yield of seeds from the Ming Dynasty, he will become a sinner in their country!

"But can you not sell the seeds to the Dutch?" Carlos said cautiously.

"Yes, but only if you don't break our agreement!" Zheng Zhilong agreed.

"That's nature!"

"Since you agree, let's sign this treaty." As he spoke, Zheng Zhilong took a stack of paper from his hands.

"And the treaty?" Carlos was stunned.

"That's nature! Is it hard to talk in vain? You bought the seeds and ran away, who should I talk to? ”

"Yes, that makes sense!"

Carlos nodded repeatedly, and as he spoke, he picked up the treaty and looked at it carefully.

"The Treaty of Luzon? This name, how is it a little..."

"You Luzon buy seeds and plant land, of course, it's the Luzon Treaty."

"That's just as well."

Carlos read the treaty in one breath.

Except for the strict restriction that 400 catties of grain must be recovered per mu of land, there is nothing sensitive in the treaty. Carlos picked up a quill and signed the treaty with his name and stamped it.

The treaty shall be made in duplicate, signed by both parties and kept by each party.

Zheng Zhilong looked at Carlos's autograph, and finally a smile appeared on his face. He held out his hand to Carlos.

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!"

"When can the seeds be taken?"

"Ten days later, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!"

Officials from two different countries, each with their own evil intentions, signed an official document called the Treaty of Luzon.

It is difficult to say how effective this treaty will be.

After Carlos left, a person walked out of the inner hall, it was Shi Bangyao, Taiwan's political envoy.

"Yiguan, I really admire your negotiation level. And you can even speak Frankie! Shi Bangyao said with a smile.

"Hey~ Si Ming Gong, don't praise me, isn't this also forced to drift on the sea in the early years, in order to beg for food. Besides, I don't dare to take credit for this negotiation, the main thing is that His Majesty gave us the seeds. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come again and again. ”

"Haha, you!" Shi Bangyao pointed at him with a smile, and then asked:

"Yiguan, why do you think Your Majesty would agree to sell such good seeds to these red-haired devils?"

"I don't know, I didn't ask, but Your Majesty has always had his own considerations in doing things. We just need to execute. ”

"That's right."

As the two were saying this, Carlos, who had gone out, was also whispering to his men.

"Governor, do you think this Ming seed is really that good?"

"Really, you don't look at the rice grown on this island of Taiwan, the high yield is terrifying!"

"Ming people have always been cunning, what if they use inferior breeds to deceive us?"

"It's unlikely, the price that Mingren gave us is the same as the old seeds, even if we cheat, we won't make much money. Besides, isn't it good to find someone who knows how to look at the seeds?

Most importantly, as soon as the seeds are in hand.

Hehe, do you think we will need to buy it from Akito in the future? ”

Carlos smiled treacherously, like a fox who had just stolen a chicken.

The world is like this, and many people think they can play with other people.

But what the truth is, it will take time to demonstrate.

Zheng Zhilong reported the results of the negotiations with Carlos to Zhu Youzhen, but Zhu Youzhen didn't say a word, and ordered someone to transport the seeds from Tianjin Port.

The time agreed with Carlos soon came, and Carlos met Zheng Zhilong again.

"Mr. Zheng, the seeds have arrived."

"That's natural, have your people arrived? Send someone to receive it. ”

"Okay."

Carlos said as he asked his men to check the quality of the seeds, but no matter how you looked at them, the quality of the seeds was one word: perfect.

can make the cunning Ming people do business with integrity, and it seems that there is really a famine in their country.

"Mr. Zheng is really an honest business partner, and I hope that our cooperation in the future will be more pleasant."

"Well said."

The two of them smiled whimsily, and Carlos walked away with the seeds.

As the leader behind this trade, Zhu Youzhen is paying close attention to the movements around Jingshi.

Sun Chuanting has begun to fulfill his duties as a tax reform commissioner.

His first stop was Shuntianfu next to the capital, here, his work was carried out very smoothly, whether it was a large or small official, all of them were unusually cooperative, Sun Chuanting was a little incredulous, when did these people's consciousness become so high?

Not only Sun Chuanting couldn't believe it, but Zhu Youzhen was a little surprised.

There was no reaction at all, which made him feel very unaccomplished.

In fact, it's not that there is no reaction, it's that there is no reaction. The news that the acting king was forced to death by His Majesty spread loudly, His Majesty was so cruel to his own people, how could they not weigh how many catties and taels they had?

also resists, and honest cooperation must be strong.

Seeing that the situation was so good, Sun Chengzong handed over the work of Shuntianfu to his subordinates, and he took people to the next stop, Baoding.

Baoding, take the meaning of eternal security.

Since ancient times, it has been the thoroughfare of "three passes in the north, nine provinces in the south, four parts of the territory, and the crown of Zhongzhou", and has always been the important place of Gyeonggi and the "southern gate of the capital".

Here, his work met with some resistance.

The resistance came from Gaoyang County, Baoding, a man of considerable prestige.

used to be Zhu Youxiao's teacher and Jiliao Inspector Sun Chengzong.

"Kaiyang Gong, what do you mean by this?" Sun Chuanting looked at Sun Chengzong, who was standing in front of his horse, and asked with an ugly face.

"It's not interesting, you can't go over." Sun Chengzong is over seventy years old, and his body is still strong, at this time, he led people to stand in front of Sun Chengzong's team, raised his head slightly, and looked at Sun Chuanting.

"This official has come by order to carry out tax reform."

"The grass people know."

Sun Chengzong's voice was cold, but the word grass people was extremely important.

Sun Chuanting reluctantly got off the horse and walked in front of Sun Chengzong.

"Kaiyang Gong, since you know my intentions, why do you want to stop me?"

"The new tax reform policy is not appropriate, and I can't tolerate your nonsense."

"What if the official has to go over?"

"Then step over my corpse." Sun Chengzong's face was stubborn.

"You!"

Sun Chuanting was very helpless, he was much younger than Sun Chengzong, and he was considered a junior in front of him. When people entered the court as officials, they were still children.

"What's wrong with the new tax reform?"

"It's against the ancestral system."

Yes, it's this set again.

As long as the interests of some people are involved, they like to use the ancestral system to speak.

"It's good for the people."

"Where's the benefit?"

"Kaiyang Gong really doesn't know?"

"I don't know."

Sun Chuanting frowned. Don't you know? If you don't know, few of the officials in the world know.

"Since Kaiyang Gong doesn't know, then I'll bother Kaiyang Gong to go to Beijing."
