"We are very happy that your country is finally willing to face up to our legitimate demands." Magorny said excitedly, thinking in his heart that it seemed that the girls had not sent the wrong person.

In fact, Spain and other countries also brought beautiful women to Dazheng, and Westerners in this era often used to send women in foreign development.

For example, a weaker tribe or country tries to use women to control the head of the family, and then control the country.

When encountering a powerful dynasty like Da Zheng, they will choose to use marriage to seek benefits.

Of course, except for the few superb beauties who were arranged to be dedicated to Emperor Longzheng, they did not move, and the rest were not all given to Jia Lian.

"Then Your Excellency Shaoqing, how will your country reply to our proposals, including trade, mission, and sending envoys?" Magorny was a little impatient.

"Don't be in a hurry, Mr. Baron. Let's come one by one. Jia Lian said very calmly.

"First, with regard to missions, Monsieur Baron, and gentlemen. I, Da Zheng, have an open mind, and it is not impossible for me to open you to come to China to preach.

It's just that if you come and don't be rude, your Catholicism or something comes to China and North Korea to preach, and can our Taoism and Middle-earth Buddhism also go to Europa to obtain the right to preach on an equal footing? ”

Magorny and others were visibly stunned that European missionaries were spreading doctrines throughout the world. Most of these refusals were forced by European guns to agree.

One of the few that has rejected Western teachings like Russia has only used force to keep Christianity out of its borders.

This is the first time that Jia Lian has encountered such a request for the exchange of missionary rights.

It seems fair and reasonable. But can Magorny et al. agree? Obviously not, the goal that the West has been striving for for more than a thousand years since the Crusades has been to exterminate the infidels.

How could it be possible to set fire in the backyard of your base camp.

As soon as Jia Lian's words were spoken, a trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the Portuguese envoy, who was a true sect. However, they finally know that they are not staying in a colony where they can run amok, but a country that is strong and cannot be lost to them.

The corners of Magorny's mouth twitched twice, and then he said helplessly: "Okay, Your Excellency Shaoqing, the matter of missionary affairs can be discussed again, so trade?" ”

Jia Lian also smiled: "We welcome trade, I know you want to trade by yourself and bypass the Chamber of Commerce." But as you know, the Chamber of Commerce is under the auspices of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it will take time to bypass them. ”

Magorny heard that Jia Lian did have the heart to negotiate with them, but I am afraid that Da Zheng also had a request.

……

After Jia Lian communicated with the countries in the Sifang Pavilion, he entered the palace to meet Emperor Longzheng, and talked secretly until late at night before leaving before the key was dropped at the palace gate.

On August 14, Jia Lian came to Zhongnanhai in the West Garden of the Imperial City.

The Shenjing City in the world of Red Mansions is different from the Beijing in the previous life.

Since Zhou Taizong Guo Rong expelled the Khitans who occupied the northern grasslands. For hundreds of years, except for Mobei Mongolia, even if new powerful tribes appeared in the steppe, they never dared to question the rule of the Zhou Dynasty.

Until the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the Manchu Qing rose and Russia expanded eastward.

Therefore, during the entire reign of the Zhou Dynasty, Shenjing, the original Beiping Mansion, actually existed as the advance base of the Great Zhou Jingluo Grassland.

Although the scale of the city is not small, its military role is far greater than that of civilian use.

Later, the Zhou Dynasty fell, the north fell into the hands of the Hu people, and Beiping was occupied by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and suffered great damage.

After Dazheng recovered Beiping Mansion, the Holy Ancestor ordered to rebuild and build a palace in the middle of Beiping. This was the beginning of the change of urban functions in Beiping.

In the following ten years, the scale of Beiping city continued to expand, and the scale of the palace after its completion was much larger than that of the general palace regulations. Not only is the scale of the imperial city almost not inferior to Jinling, but also a large-scale royal garden has been built to the west of the imperial city, Xiyuan Sanhai.

Therefore, some people say that the Holy Ancestor moved the capital to Shenjing in the seventeenth year of Jingning, which was a plan that had been planned for a long time.

After moving the capital to Shenjing, with the gradual recovery and enhancement of the national strength of Dazheng, the scale of Shenjing expanded several times, and gradually reached the scale of today's Shenjing City.

And the three seas of the Imperial City Xiyuan have also had different changes.

Beihai gradually turned into a large imperial garden, a popular place for concubines and princesses and other clan ladies to play.

Zhongnanhai has become a place for the Son of Heaven to take refuge in the summer and deal with government affairs. Especially Emperor Yong'an, because of his poor health, he was born intolerant of heat and heat, and even lived in Zhongnanhai for nearly half of the year.

In the era of Emperor Longzheng, Zhongnanhai became the place where Emperor Longzheng held large-scale ceremonies and received foreign guests.

Although he has not been to Zhongnanhai in the past few years, every time he enters here, Jia Lian has a look of reverence in his heart. This kind of mood is not available when entering the Imperial City.

Because the ceremony will be held tomorrow, Zhongnanhai has been decorated with great luxury. As far as the eye can see, there is a prosperous era everywhere.

"Grandpa is there too!" Unexpectedly seeing Chen Menglei arrive in person, Jia Lian hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"You're here too?" Although Chen Menglei was dissatisfied with Jia Lian's "not doing his job". But I also know that Jia Lian is taking on a lot of other things now, and he has no time.

"Tomorrow, the envoys of various countries will meet the emperor. I'm not worried about ordinary countries, what about the Xiyi countries, but after negotiating, are they willing to bow to the emperor? ”

Yes, in the eyes of Chen Menglei and others, whether they are willing to bow to Emperor Longzheng means that they are showing their submission to the Great Zheng Heavenly Dynasty, which is very important.

Of course, Jia Lian doesn't care about this, but in this era, it is also very important to follow the customs of the locals: "It has been negotiated, and they promised to kneel down on one knee to the emperor." This is their highest courtesy in the world. ”

Chen Menglei frowned: "What is secular etiquette?" ”

It is the etiquette that distinguishes them from the Pope. The emperor has agreed. ”

Chen Menglei heard that Emperor Long Zheng agreed, so he could only nod helplessly. He knew that the current emperor was a pragmatic person, and he was led astray by this little bastard. That's all it can be.

After looking around left and right, Chen Menglei felt that the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple had done a good job, so he nodded with satisfaction and walked out with Jia Lian.

"How is the matter of buying war horses and cultivating cattle in the grassland that you promoted some time ago?" Chen Menglei just chatted casually.

Jia Lian frowned unexpectedly: "Li Xiang is communicating with the household department to promote this matter, and I heard that the progress is not bad, so I didn't care about it anymore."

Grandpa, what I'm worried about is not this, the people from Jinyi Mansion only went to Monan, I sent someone through the desert to Mobei, and brought back a worrying news. ”

As soon as Chen Menglei heard the word Mobei, he immediately became serious.
