The great emperor of crossing

Zhao Lie couldn't believe Magerny's statement. After all, in your memory in his previous life, it was Britain after the Industrial Revolution. He asked the Qing Dynasty for trade, but he didn't expect to be contemptuously dismissed by Emperor Qianlong. If he refused, then Magerny actually appeared here and brought his own army, so it was definitely not a simple self-defense.

It's just that it's not yet time to expose it, otherwise once the two countries meet each other, it will not be so easy to achieve great unification.

"You led a delegation to visit this time, you shouldn't simply want to see the country here, right? Is your queen living well now? Is she in good health?"

Zhao Lie was very clever and resolved the conflict just now with simple words.

"Your Majesty, I haven't said anything yet, how do you know that the Queen is in power in our country?"

"I told you that you know astronomy from above and geography from below? There are many things that even my ministers can't figure out. Can you, a foreign minister, figure it out?"

For such an ingenious answer, Magerny obviously only admired him. He didn't expect that every part of the emperor was seamless. It seemed impossible to get some useful information out of his mouth.

"So you should be honest and tell everyone here about your queen."

For such a statement, Magerny is not easy to refuse, after all, this is also in line with diplomatic etiquette.

"Your Majesty, all ministers, it is a great honor to be here in our country on the Golden Throne Street. My queen is Elizabeth."

When I just said this, the audience was in an uproar. No one thought that Zhao Lie was completely right, but this uproar made the foreigner feel very confused.

"Um, is there any question?"

"This brother is in control. Our majesty said before you came that your queen's name is Elizabeth. He made a bet with us at that time, but we felt that this matter was related to the relationship between the two countries, so we never agreed. His Majesty's request, but I didn't expect His Majesty to be completely correct this time."

Such a statement made Magerney also feel very strange.

"My God! Your Majesty is indeed the Son of Heaven, and you can even figure out this kind of thing clearly. Are you the legendary god?"

Such a statement made everyone laugh out loud. I didn't expect that the first thing this foreigner did when he came to the Xuanzheng Palace was to be funny. Magerny couldn't understand this sudden laughter.

"May I ask what you are thinking? Aren't the empires in the East all famous for their gods?"

"This foreign envoy, although we don't know the purpose of your trip until now, but you speak so humorously, it seems that you know our civilization very well, but we really want to know that you came here What is the purpose?"

Magerny felt a little abrupt, he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. When he visited other countries in the West before, the first thing the king of any country thought of was to solve his accommodation problem, but he didn't expect to come to this The Eastern Empire, the first thing to do is to ask clearly the purpose of this trip, it seems that it is more straightforward here.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter makes it hard for me to tell. I heard that this place is gold from other places. When I came here to see, although there is no gold everywhere, I saw the power of an empire. Therefore, our country has never been here. From the very beginning, I wanted to have various contacts with you, is it a business partner with others?"

"Trade, right? Your statement is very good, and I am willing to accept it, but there is one thing you must first consider clearly. Whether you want to invade our country or simply trade, now you can only see your sincerity .”

Zhao Lie's mind is now full of how to integrate into the world, but he knows that such a country does not necessarily have good things if it comes directly to trade.

"Since His Majesty the Emperor has already talked about this topic, may I take out a personal letter? This is written by our Queen to Your Majesty. Our Queen means that I hope that here, in front of many ministers, this method tells Come out, I wonder if His Majesty thinks it is okay?"

"Tell me about the conditions first, but I only have one request. If it is an issue related to sovereignty, it is absolutely non-negotiable."

"I beg Your Majesty to follow suit, the queen has arranged everything."

This statement made Zhao Lie very upset. If his queen had arranged everything, what would the emperor do?It's just that this is Tianhua Empire's first foreign activity in the true sense, if it is not done well, it may be ridiculous.

Magerny directly took out the autographed letter and began to read it. The letter was full of polite words at the beginning, showing the qualities that a queen, or a politician should have in the first place.

"Therefore, for the sake of the eternal alliance between the two countries, this queen hopes that the Tianhua Empire will allow us to conduct trade in the entire coastal area, and at the same time, I also hope that we can set up commercial offices and embassies in the great Chang'an City. In addition, I hope that some of your country The uninhabited islands are given to our merchants to live and store goods. Of course, we are more willing to wish you the establishment of a free trade zone. We also hope that merchants in our country can enjoy tax exemption or tax reduction. Finally, our ships can be used in any port of your country Mooring, if your country finds it inconvenient, we can help you build a dock."

After Zhao Lie heard this, he burst out laughing, and immediately put away his smile.

"Sounds really tempting, right? Tiao Tiao seems to be aimed at the Tianhua Empire, but it is always beneficial to oneself. Is this kind of tactic of harming others and benefiting oneself the way of friendship between your country and the Tianhua Empire? It is definitely necessary to do business with foreign countries. , but we will absolutely not favor any country, so so many of your suggestions, currently only the free trade zone is acceptable. As for the others, you can consider setting up your own chamber of commerce in Chang'an City, but you must Registration with the government, and you have to undergo regular inspections, that's the last requirement."

Magerny was very surprised when he heard it. He didn't expect such an emperor to do things like this. It seems that such a legendary emperor is really not joking.

"Your Majesty, our queen said that the six proposals seem very harsh, but as long as you can agree to one of them, it will be a victory for us."

Zhao Lie was very speechless. With such thoughts, he still wanted to contend with himself. It seemed that this queen was not as frivolous as he imagined.

"Finished?"

"Yes!"

"Then this matter will be further communicated with you by our Minister of Foreign Affairs, Su Qin. What she means is what I mean."
