Domineering Daming

Qin Zhengyi's eyelids twitched, he regained consciousness, raised his hand and said, "The lower officials are stupid, please punish the elders."

Chen Qiyu heard it, and quickly said: "My lords, we are going to see the exhibition today, shall we talk about it later?"

Sun Chuanting said "hmm" and said, "Let's go."

Chen Qiyu led the way, and quickly explained: "The exhibition hall is open to everyone, no matter they are high-ranking officials or ordinary people, even foreigners are treated equally. The exhibits include tens of thousands of exhibits from China, foreign countries, from ancient to modern times. Every day Hundreds of people came here, and even more people came from all over the world, the exhibition hall has already asked the emperor to open branches in various places..."

Sun Chuanting walked and watched, nodding his head from time to time. There were many things that opened his eyes even for him.

After looking at it for one day, Sun Chuanting and others were very satisfied. Before they left, they said to Chen Qiyu: "The dowry over there is very rich. In addition to real gold, silver, and food, there are also many ancient relics. When the time comes, I will ask for instructions." Your Majesty, I will assign it to you, and I want all the people of Daming to see it."

Here's another way to document swing feats, direct, violent!

Chen Qiyu raised his hand and said hastily: "Thank you Mr. Ge. By the way, the emperor personally put up this plaque, and there is still a preface missing. I wonder if Mr. Ge can work hard?"

Sun Chuanting glanced at him disapprovingly, and said, "Let's talk about it, I've been very busy recently, and I have to go to the trade conference tomorrow, and I have to meet a lot of people."

Chen Qiyu said: "By the way, I just remembered that many envoys, officials, and many merchants have come from Europe. Those who are received by the Foreign Affairs Bureau all hope to meet the elder Ge."

Sun Chuanting said: "Well, Gong Yonggu has already said that we will make arrangements tomorrow and we will meet each other. I heard that the list is huge?"

Chen Qiyu said: "Wei Liangqing revealed something to me. The order value of tea, porcelain, silk, cloth, glass, etc. is as high as 500 million taels of silver, and other spices, firearms, ships, armor, etc., may exceed tens of millions of silver... "

Sun Chuanting frowned and said, "Is this for three days, or for one year?"

Chen Qiyu pondered for a moment, and said: "Strictly speaking, it can only be today's order, because the business of spices is very large, and every year it is more than ten million silver..."

Sun Chuanting did not know the details of the Shenlong Mansion's accounts, and perhaps only the Qianqing Palace knew the details.

Sun Chuanting thought for a while and said, "I heard that Shenlong Mansion plans to build such places in many places?"

Chen Qiyu said: "It has already started. At present, Guangzhou, Tianjin Wei, and Annan's Shenlong are advancing the fastest. It is estimated that it will start next year."

Sun Chuanting thought for a while, and said: "You Nanzhili must do a good job of cooperating, and you can't delay your legs and make obstacles in the open and in the dark. You must resolutely suppress those objections! The imperial court will also issue a series of decrees to promote Shenlong You must know the development of the government."

Chen Qiyu thought it was Sun Chuanting's beating on him, so he quickly raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Ge, I know what to do."

Sun Chuanting took a sip of tea and said, "Tomorrow, I will see Ottoman's special envoy first. The Suez Canal must be opened, and it must be in my hands, Daming!"

Chen Qiyu looked at Sun Chuanting, and said: "The special envoy seems to have always wanted to buy my Ming Dynasty's ships and artillery, and the commander's mansion deliberately blocked the ships, and the artillery was not even given."

Sun Chuanting naturally knew that it was nothing more than a negotiating method, and said: "Tomorrow, Prince Concubine Gong will be with you, it will be the best if the negotiation can be done, and it will be fine if it fails."

Chen Qiyu was surprised when he heard these words, but immediately understood, and said: "Your Majesty, let someone pass it on."

Sun Chuanting leaned on his chair, looked at Chen Qiyu, and said calmly: "I'll give you three days, three days later, explain to me and the cabinet the progress of Nanzhili's series of 'New Deals' concerning fields and households in the governor's office, that's enough Bar?"

Chapter 1405 Diplomacy

Regarding Sun Chuanting's pressure, Chen Qiyu had no choice but to smile wryly.

He has been in Nanzhili for less than a year, and he has already deeply felt the complexity of Nanzhili. Although the upper levels have been cleaned and changed, the middle and lower levels are like iron barrels. And everywhere.

He couldn't explain these words to Sun Chuanting, so he could only bear them silently.

In Sun Chuanting's view, these local officials are not only trapped in the complicated local relations, but also know how to protect themselves wisely and timidly, but they lack enough courage. Without enough pressure, they will just stand still.

He came this time to gnaw away the most difficult bone of Daming!

Nanzhili, the province under its jurisdiction is very large, including Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, and most of Zhejiang in later generations. It is the essence of Ming Dynasty. Its economy and culture are also second to none. More than half of Ming's money and grain come from here. Officials, big and small, accounted for more than half of them before the apocalypse!Therefore, although it is "Nanjing" and the accompanying capital, it is a real political center.

In such a place, if you want to reform, you can imagine the resistance you will encounter.

Chen Qiyu went out from Sun Chuanting's posthouse, turned around and went back to the governor's office, held an enlarged meeting to discuss how to explain the reform progress of Nanzhili to Sun Chuanting.

At this time, the restaurants, teahouses, and song workshops of Shenlong Mansion were lit up like a dragon, bright as day.

Not only the natives of the Ming Dynasty came in and out, but also Mongolians, Koreans, Japanese, Ryukyu people, Annans and Europeans with blue eyes and curly hair in various costumes.

Gong Yonggu, Xue Zhengqing and other officials from the Foreign Affairs Bureau shuttle back and forth here.

In a teahouse, Gong Yonggu was talking with an envoy from the Ottoman Empire, Shelim.

This Sherim is a member of the royal family of the Ottoman Empire. This time he came here in secret, to avoid their domestic disputes, and to keep Spain a secret.

Shelim has already heard the news that the prime minister of Ming has arrived. If the negotiations with their prime minister cannot be completed, their series of negotiations will be terminated.

Shelim looked at Gong Yonggu and said, "Master Gong, our transaction is too large and complicated. I still need to ask our country for instructions. Please complete the ship transaction first."

These are naturally translated words, and there is a translator next to Gong Yonggu and Xielim.

Gong Yonggu looked calm, and said: "Your country has paid the deposit, and the ships are already under construction. A hundred warships can't be completed in one or two years. If you add artillery and help you train, three to five years is not enough. Yes, Your Highness, why worry."

Shelim looked at Gong Yonggu, saw that he was calm and relaxed, blinked his green eyes, and said: "I know that your country is suffering from an unprecedented natural disaster. We are willing to raise the price again and exchange it directly with grain."

Gong Yonggu smiled and said: "Your Highness should know that our country's request is not too much. Your country is so stuck and has no sincerity. It also makes us worry that your country's cooperation has other purposes."

Sherim said: "The relationship between your country and Spain is the focus of our worries. We have been at war with Spain for decades. We hope that your country can remain neutral, but your country has an alliance treaty with Spain."

Gong Yonggu said: "We have explained this many times. We only have economic and military treaties with Spain, not alliance treaties. We don't take sides in the war in Europe."

"But you want to dig the Suez Canal, which confirms our country's concerns." Sherim said.

"We can sign a peace treaty with your country to ensure that Japan will not participate in your war. Your country should rest assured." Gong Yonggu said.

The two of you come and go, which is already very honest. At this time, the bottom line of both parties is basically clear, and they just need to find a compromise.

Xielimu looked at Gong Yonggu with steadfast eyes.

He has already seen that the Ming Dynasty is bound to win the piece of land in Egypt, and the attitude is so tough that it will not hesitate to do business with tens of millions of silver!

Gong Yonggu took the time to rest, but he was actually very disturbed.

One hundred warships, the accompanying firearms, and post-service services lasted for five or six years, and the real value is more than tens of millions of silver!

If this messes up, let alone he is the head of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, his status as a son-in-law will not protect him.

The cabinet is very short of money and food now, what a mess, those grown-ups will definitely use him as a sacrificial flag!

The two sat quietly, and the translators on both sides did not dare to breathe. They knew the whole process, and they also knew that this deal was extremely important to both countries. If it was ruined, no one could afford it.

A needle could be heard in the room, and it was eerily quiet.

Suddenly, Shelim raised his head and said, "We can divide into two parts. The first half is for us, and the second half is for you."

Gong Yonggu shook his head and said, "You are clear about our country's plan. If this is the case, it is completely meaningless."

Shelim frowned, with a serious expression, and said, "It cannot be fully controlled by your country, and our country will not agree."
