Oraza looked at a group of officers who were chattering.

I felt irritable in my heart.

One by one, they are all high-sounding, but in fact, they are afraid that the conflict with Daming will affect the family business.

Most of these officers were nobles of all classes.

Behind them are large and small families.

At this time, if he forcibly fights with Da Ming, these people will naturally obey orders, but the counterattack of the family behind him may make him lose his position as governor soon.

"Franco, in your opinion, is this grain to be handed over or not?" Oraza turned her gaze to Franco.

"My lord, in the long run, I think it's better for us to sell to them.

First, you can continue to maintain a good relationship with Daming, and your business can be further expanded.

Second, the Netherlands initially forcibly occupied Taiwan, and the two sides have a lot of hatred, and we can take advantage of it, and if we do it properly, it is not impossible to completely squeeze the Netherlands out of the East.

Thirdly, this bumper rice harvest has fully proved that the grain of the Ming people is indeed very good, which is exactly what we need. We should continue to buy grain seeds from them and spread them in the colonies! If nothing else, just talking about Luzon, if all this new grain is planted, how much more rice can be produced this year? Daming needs food, and we need it even more!

In the meantime, the Governor, who has created all this with his own hands..."

Franco didn't continue, but Oraza's eyes began to glow. He gave Franco a strange look.

Damn, how does this guy look better than me to be a governor!?

"Then you can go again and tell Nicholas Yiguan that we will sell them the grain according to the original agreement!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

Franco ran out happily. There was a sense of relief in my heart.

Isn't this right, why should you fight when you have a good life, it is dangerous and delays making money.

Franco came to Zheng Zhilong's ship again.

"Zheng Zongbing! I have reported your request to our Governor-General, and the Governor said that this is a complete misunderstanding, and that these days, we have been mobilizing food just so that we can help you get it to Taiwan as soon as possible. His Excellency the Governor apologizes deeply for this, and I have asked me to express my deep apologies to you on his behalf. This is a gift from our Governor! ”

As he spoke, the entourage took out a gift box, and when it was opened, it was a beautiful pocket bell.

"Huaizhong?"

"Zheng Zongbing really has good eyesight, it is Huai Zhong!" Franco smiled, thinking that Zheng Zhilong would definitely like such a gift.

Who knew that Zheng Zhilong's face turned cold, and he kicked Franco in the stomach, kicking him to the ground.

"How the fuck do you dare to send me a bell!?"

said that he was about to step forward and kick again, but was stopped by Zheng Zhiguan on the side.

Franco was stunned, and couldn't understand why he agreed to Zheng Zhilong's conditions, and gave gifts with a smile, Zheng Zhilong still wanted to beat himself.

Zheng Zhiguan comforted Zheng Zhilong, and ran to Franco's side to whisper a few words to him.

Franco finally understood what was going on.

Damn, who knew you still had that to say! What bad luck!

"Mr. Zheng, I'm sorry! It's all my bad! When I got back, I immediately changed it for a gift. ”

"Alright, don't fucking bullshit. Give you five days to get all the food ready. Otherwise, the next shelling will not be this Corregido Island! ”

"Yes, Mr. Zheng."

Franco exhaled secretly, didn't stay any longer, and walked away with his stomach in his hands.

Since the two sides reached an agreement, Oraza no longer hesitated, and honestly loaded the grain to the mouth of Manila Bay for Zheng Zhilong to count.

"Why is there so much difference?" Zheng Zhilong asked the person in charge of transportation.

"We don't have enough boats."

"Aren't we all boats?"

"This—"

The person in charge didn't know how to answer. Do we dare to let your boat get close to the docks?

"Are you afraid that we will have a bad plan?"

"No, no!" The person in charge waved his hand again and again.

"Go back and tell your governor that I can only haul this grain in one trip, and that your ships are not enough, and we have them. If you are afraid, no one will be allowed to board except the crew. ”

The person in charge was helpless, and returned to the Governor's Mansion to convey Zheng Zhilong's meaning.

But how dare Oraza let their ship dock and operate the crew, who knows if it is a pirate or not.

In the end, Oraza had an idea and came up with a clever plan.

The grain was transported to Corregido Island, and from Corregido Island it was transferred to Zheng Zhilong's ship. Zheng Zhilong was so angry that he called Oraza to take off his pants and fart, but finally agreed.

It's just that since then, efficiency has slowed down.

Seven days later, after Zheng Zhilong had counted the rice, he made his last request.

Ask for money.

"Why money?" Olaza looked at Franco again in confusion.

"He said that we broke the contract first, which caused him to use a large army to come and ask for it, and the food and salary of the soldiers and the wear and tear of the warships must be borne by our side." Franco said depressedly.

"Is there such a bully!? How much do they want? ”

"Five hundred thousand taels of silver!"

"What? So much? These grains have only been sold for more than 5 million taels! ”

He also said that if we don't agree, he won't give the money for food. If they agree, they will be deducted directly from the grain before they are sold. and pay us another five million taels. ”

"Shameless! Shameless! Oraza finally understood why everyone had shown that people were cunning. This is no longer cunning, this is a naked scoundrel!

"Grant his request!"

For a long time, Oraza said resentfully.

"By the way, he also asked us when we will have the new crops? They offer home delivery, but the price is 10% higher! ”

"Ask for a fart!"

Franco looked at the enraged Oraza, touched the spit on his face and walked out.

Knowing that Oraza had agreed to all his requests, Zheng Zhilong was a little surprised.

He didn't expect this Oraza to be so enduring, he kicked his nose in the face, and he didn't dare to fight with himself. It seems that His Majesty's plan is about to fall through for the time being.

But thinking of the boatload of grain brought back, his mood improved again. The mission was successfully completed, and 500,000 travel expenses were paid. Very good! It was Oraza who no longer bought grain seeds that made him a little worried, so he found Shen Lian and told him his thoughts.

Zhu Youzhen, who was far away in the capital, was chatting with Fan Jingwen and a few people about political affairs, and after reading Shen Lian's report, he was so happy.

If you don't buy it, you won't buy it.

It shows that Spain has mastered quite advanced genetic technology, which can solve the problem that Grandpa Yuan's hybrid rice cannot be retained.

What a great joy to celebrate!

"Hooray, if the Franky people don't buy the seeds of the Ming Dynasty, doesn't it mean that they can't recycle their food in the future? Why is Your Majesty still so happy? ”

"Haha, Wang Banban, you don't understand. You'll find out in a few months. Zhu Youzhen smiled and changed the topic. Has Li Zicheng come back? ”

"Long live, I'm afraid it will be a few days. However, the grain and tax money collected have been transported to the capital one after another. ”

"The Evil God"

"Haha! It deserves to be the 'nemesis of the vassal king'! Fan Qing, do you think they will hate me to death? ”

"I don't think they dare." Fan Jingwen cautiously agreed.

"Don't dare? I guess I was scolded to death behind my back. But I don't care, as long as the country is rich and the people are strong, even if I am infamous for eternity? ”

Zhu Youzhen slowly stood up, his eyes firmly looking out of the window.

Fan Jingwen glanced at each other, knelt on the ground together, and sang loudly:

"Daming has such a holy lord as His Majesty, which is really a blessing to all the people!"

"Alas! Everyone, get up quickly, I can only go through the heavens and the earth, and I can't bow down to everything. I also hope that all of you will continue to work together, and our monarchs and ministers will create a great prosperity together! ”

"The ministers will definitely be crushed! At all costs! ”

The emperor was able to say such a thing, which was an affirmation of the courtiers, and several people hurriedly showed their loyalty.

"Wang Companion! Reward a few ministers, a hundred horses of lake silk, and a thousand taels of silver! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" This time the cry was more sincere.

After a few people left, Zhu Youzhen became more and more cheerful.

What kind of clan vassal kings, they are all relatives of Lao Zhu. What does it have to do with me, Zhu Youzhen?

And Franco, who was far away in Luzon, was not so cheerful, and Zheng Zhilong had just walked not far before he found Oraza.

"Lord Governor, it's time to sow seeds soon, we don't buy Daming's seeds, what are we planting?"

"Franco! Are you stupid? Where did the seeds of the Ming Dynasty come from? ”

"Where did it come from?"

"That's right! Where did it come from? ”

"Planted?" Olaza stunned Franco and replied tentatively.

"Isn't that it? What they grow can be used as seeds, but what we buy from them can't be used as seeds? ”

"What does the Governor mean?"

"That's right! Just what you think! A confident smile appeared on Oraza's face.
