Chapter 21 The Buddha Asks: How Many Relationships?
Chang Er nodded, "Listening to what Uncle Xu meant, it is not enough to sell this commodity, but also to achieve the political purpose of trade between the imperial court and foreign envoys." ”
Zhu Gaochi asked,
"Second uncle, how do you say this?"
Chang Er continued,
"I heard that the household department is going to do sugar business with the Delhi Sultanate, which has always been a big sugar exporter, but
Now compared with the Tang of the Ming Dynasty, the quality is obviously not as good as the Ming Dynasty,
The household has been staring at this piece of fat, and wants to take this opportunity to completely push Daming's sugar industry abroad.
Now it seems that the foreign envoy of the Delhi Sultanate is gritting his teeth and not letting go, so he wonders if he can use our side to pry his mouth open. ”
"Well...," Yang Rong said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, the sugar industry is the lifeblood of the Delhi Sultanate,
The money bags were all caught by the Ming Dynasty, and their court had no right to speak.
But anyone with a little brain, it is impossible to let the money bag be caught by others. ”
Everyone was silent, Yang Rong was right, from the perspective of a country's finances, money is power, and even his own money control has no right to speak, what kind of political independence is talking about?
In Yang Rong's opinion, even if the upper echelons of the nobility in the country are mediocre, it is impossible to be stupid to such a point.
However, I couldn't imagine that such a stupid ruling class really existed, and it was still under his feet.
In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, he happily released the right to trade ports, wantonly borrowed money from abroad to suppress civil strife, and thought that he was taking advantage of those foreigners.
Even some officials are complacent, and the opening of treaty ports is stronger than the cession of land, in fact, the harm of these two things is much the same.
If the money bag is lost, the political power will naturally be lost, and with such a clear cause and effect, Tatar Qing is busy suppressing his own people, and he can't think of anything else at all.
"Wait," Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up and he asked everyone, "Is the Delhi Sultanate the same as our imperial court?" Do they also divide the household department into the inner library? ”
Yang Rong understood and knew that what this little highness asked was whether the state finances of the Delhi Sultanate were mixed with personal property.
"Your Highness, it's not like that, they don't seem to be inside and out."
Zhu Gaochi's eyes darkened, and he muttered, "This is a bit difficult...."
"Gao Chi, what do you say?"
Chang Er called Zhu Gaochi my intimacy, Zhu Gaochi called him his second uncle, he really regarded Zhu Gaochi as his own family,
However, the family members are like this, they are ripe quickly, single line, and affectionate.
Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said,
"Second uncle, if this money is separated, we can still divide it and attack it,
But if the state finances are mixed with their own money, it will be very difficult for us to deal with this matter.
This is not only moving their country's money bags, but also their own money bags.
They are bound to react violently and cannot accept it. ”
"Well, that's not a trick yet?"
Chang Er sighed.
When everyone was brainstorming, Yang Rong's expression was a little excited, and Zhu Gaochi's words woke him up.
"Nope! Let's think about this matter too complicated, we should focus on this Delhi Sultan's foreign envoy! He doesn't let go, it's just that we don't give enough! ”
Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened slowly, and he seemed to understand.
Chang Er is puzzled,
"Xiao Yang, how do you say this? Didn't they say that the money of the imperial court was their own money, and as soon as the sugar industry of the Ming Dynasty invaded the Delhi Sultanate, their own wallets would also be damaged!
How could he be relieved of the foreign envoy sent by the Delhi Sultanate this time? ”
Yang Rong shook his head, "Second Master, there is still a difference, think about such a big piece of fat, is it comfortable for them to share it together, or is it more comfortable for us to throw it to him alone?" ”
"What do you mean...."Chang Er seemed to understand, and then said in a lost tone, "It's to look at the dress of this foreign envoy, it's a person who cultivates Buddhism, let's use some yellow and white vulgar things, is it useful?" ”
Yang Rong clapped his hands and said,
"That's even more right! If it were someone else, we would throw real money at him, maybe it would take a little effort!
But since he is a Buddhist cultivator, isn't this a professional counterpart?! ”
Chang Er was stunned when he heard this, but after thinking about it, Yang Rong didn't seem to have any problem with the gold and silver treasures found in the Buddhist temple.
Zhu Gaochi and Yang Rong sang and harmonized, and their thinking was completely at the same frequency, saying,
"Second uncle, let's use this ultra-thin condom to knock open the mouth of this foreign envoy!"
"Good!" Chang Er said excitedly, and then felt that Zhu Gaochi's words were strange, and he was busy educating,
"Children, don't keep talking about super thin or something!"
Zhu Gaochi's neck shrunk, and he hurriedly apologized,
"Got it, second uncle."
The more Chang Er thought about this, the more reliable it became, rubbing his hands, and said busily,
"I'll call this guy over and talk about it first!"
.......
Half an hour later
In the living room of the Chang family sat a foreigner dressed in Buddhist clothes, none other than Gandhi, the foreign envoy of the Delhi Sultan.
Gandhi sat upright in the house, his heart beating wildly,
He naturally knows what Changfu means in Daming now, and if he is invited to Changfu at this juncture, there will definitely be a sky-breaking wealth waiting for him!
That's the slim business!
Even if this commodity has not yet flowed into the Delhi Sultanate, Gandhi can pat his chest and promise,
As long as this commodity flows into its own country, it will inevitably become a hot commodity.
Those fat and oily aristocrats don't care about how much they spend, they think more about recklessness!
Chang Er followed Zhu Gaochi, Yang Rong, and Mu Chun into the area, and as soon as he saw Gandhi, he said with a smile,
"My lord, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay."
Chang Er stretched out his hand and motioned for Gandhi to sit down, and after everyone sat down, Chang Er said straight to the point,
"Your Excellency, can you do the sugar business between the two countries?"
Gandhi was stunned when asked, he originally thought that he was called to Changfu to talk about ultra-thin business,
But I didn't expect to be asked when I came up, and the white sugar I didn't want to face the most,
Gandhi's attitude was obviously a lot stiffer, and he said,
"Master Chang, I'm afraid this matter will have to be discussed again."
Chang Er ignored Gandhi's attitude of wanting to be sloppy, shook his head and said,
"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty attaches great importance to the ultra-thin business, and will convene all foreign envoys to talk about this matter in the next two days.
Today I called you alone, you should be able to understand what it means,
You can't get along with anything, but don't get along with money, right? ”
