The Regent Just Wants To Farm [Transmigration Book]

◇

Mission

Jianxin 15 years, Xia, Zhengxin port.

Under the scorching sun, the officials of Dazheng's Ministry of Rites welcomed the mission from country E at the port. This was the first time Prince Charles of country E went to Dazheng as an envoy.

This country, which is praised by their own people as a paradise, is extremely sought after by nobles for its exquisite products and the legends that come with them. Even commoners and slaves love this country where gold is everywhere and everyone can eat and clothe themselves warmly. Yearning endlessly.

Charles scoffed at this, who knows how much of the news is false?He was very aware of this point. Those pirates found a piece of unclaimed land before, and they said the same thing when they lured people to go there to farm for them, but when they really got there, they would find that it was just a barren land.

Even if the state of Zheng is indeed rich, it will never surpass their country E. What they are worthy of praise is their exquisite commodities. These hateful commodities have continuously absorbed the wealth of country E into the state of Zheng. Whenever I think of this, Charles I hate it so much.

He once owned a large plantation, which brought him huge wealth every year.

But since the Zheng country's merchant ships came to E country, they not only brought exquisite high-priced commodities, but also carried cheap grains. When these grains were put into E country, countless plantations were destroyed.

Charles's plantation is no exception. Although it is not as vulnerable as those small plantations, it still earns less year after year, so he sold the plantation.

The hateful thing is that the one who can afford that plantation is a businessman from Zheng.

The state of Zheng, which has plundered the wealth of the world, has nothing in itself. Even if foreign goods can enter the state of Zheng, they will be charged high tariffs. Originally, they wanted to sell tobacco, a pleasant commodity, to the state of Zheng. However, due to this tariff, the market has been delayed, and these foreigners cannot but be depressed.

While the nobles frantically pursued the things of Zheng Guo, they also demanded to negotiate with Zheng Guo because of their reduced wealth.

Since entering the waters of Zheng State, Prince Charles has seen the strength of Zheng State. The patrol boats that come and go can meet three times a day. Each ship is equipped with the most advanced cannons. Whenever this time, the captain of their ship will shoot The semaphore, inform the other party that this is the e-country mission to the Zheng country.

Then, the patrol boat will follow their boat for a period of time until they meet the next patrol boat.

This made Charles look bad, thinking that they were being closely watched. Although the captain told him that this was an escort, he firmly believed that it was surveillance.

General Hof, who accompanied him on the mission, pressed the hilt of the long sword worn at his waist, and his expression was unprecedentedly dignified.

Charles quietly asked General Hof, who is stronger between the navy of country E and that of Zheng.

General Hof was naturally not an impulsive and irritable guy who was able to participate in this mission, and he answered without any leaks: "His Majesty the King asked us to seek cooperation, peace is the purpose of our arrival, there is no need to compare the navies of the two countries. "

But Charles understood the deep meaning from his words. Their navy may not be as good as that of Zheng Guo, or it may be of the same level. If they fight, they will lose both sides. Therefore, the main method of peaceful negotiation is .

Charles thought that the sea ships of country E were unparalleled in the world, and he had always dismissed Zheng country's navy before.

If Zheng Guo's navy is really so powerful, why haven't they heard of their victories in the past two years?Even when other countries are crazy about the New World, Zheng Guo is still so calm and relaxed, there must be some ulterior secret in it.

But after being escorted by Zheng Guo's patrol boat, his thoughts disappeared, but new doubts arose. Since Zheng Guo's navy is not weak, why don't they go to occupy the New World?

This was only his first question. When he set foot on the land of Zheng State, he would find that Zheng State had more things that puzzled him.

Ji Yun led the officials from the Ministry of Rituals to welcome Charles who had just disembarked. He smiled kindly and took a step forward. He bowed his hands to Charles and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Charles has come all the way and worked hard. We have prepared delicious food and wine. To welcome His Highness, His Highness can rest here for two days at the port, and then go up the canal and arrive in Los Angeles in a few days."

There was an interpreter, and his words were quickly conveyed to Charles. Although Charles was not happy that Zheng Guo only sent a minister to meet him, he did not show it. After thanking the officials of the Ministry of Rites, he let them go. Went to the place where I was staying.

Along the way, Charles kept observing Zheng Guo from the car window.From the moment he disembarked, he discovered that Zhengxin Port was the largest port he had seen so far. Judging from the architectural traces, it should be newly built.

When he entered the port, he found dozens of gun towers and towering buildings, which brought him a great sense of oppression.

He had no doubt that if an enemy came, the cannons would be fired with a thousand bullets, and the enemy would be blown into ashes in an instant.

Because of this sense of oppression, he felt that Zheng Guo should have a strong administrator. This kind of administrator is not a good thing for the common people. Those rumors about "paradise" are really false, right?

Therefore, along the way, he paid close attention to observing the civilians walking on the road, but to his disappointment, there was no picture he expected to see along the way, and he never saw even a beggar. Incredible.

Although most of the civilians were in a hurry, they didn't have much sorrow.Not only that, Charles also noticed that the color of their clothes was almost all dyed, completely different from the gray civilians in their country.

Charles took a closer look and noticed that most of them were straight and neat, and they came and went in an orderly manner, and there was no rubbish on the road.

Ji Yun, as the person in charge of the reception, took the same car with Charles. Seeing that Charles was staring outside, he explained to him one by one the plants and trees here.

Charles was originally dissatisfied with Ji Yun, but after chatting with him, he realized that the Zheng official in front of him looked young, but his knowledge was extremely profound. He even knew many things about E country.

"Master Ji, you must be the most knowledgeable person in Zheng Guo. Even in our country, there are not many talents like you." Charles sighed.

Ji Yun smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "I'm just an ordinary official of Zheng State, there are many people who are stronger than me, what I'm talking about is just some superficial knowledge, any student of Da Zheng He can speak clearly and logically."

Charles was shocked, and his first reaction was disbelief, but thinking of his disdain and snort before, it was all proved to be his shallow knowledge in the end, so he didn't dare to express this idea easily.

After leaving the Zhengxin port, it is a new city developed by relying on the port. This city was built only three years ago. Although it is young, it contains the new look of Dazheng today.

Whether it is the architectural format, road planning, or urban zoning, it is much more advanced than other old cities.

On the first night when he came to Zheng State, Charles suffered from insomnia. Thinking of the purpose of his visit this time, will Zheng Congress agree to the proposal of cutting tariffs?

On the second day, Charles didn't dislike the low position of the officials who came to receive them, and began to give gifts to the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Most of them were handicrafts made of gems. They knew that most Zheng people liked this.

However, to his disappointment, these officials turned down these gifts one after another, saying that they were too expensive.

But Charles felt that this was just an excuse for them to reject him, so he almost had no hope of whether the goal could be achieved this time.

Realizing this, Prince Charles' complexion became even more unsightly, and he spent two days discussing countermeasures with his subjects.

"If Zheng Guo does not agree to reduce tariffs, then we can only increase tariffs on Zheng Guo's exports. There is no way to do this. I believe Zheng Guohui will understand this truth." An envoy said.

After staying in the new city for two days, Prince Charles couldn't wait to request to go to Los Angeles. He wanted to discuss the tariff with the real administrator of the Zheng country and complete the purpose of this mission as soon as possible.

Ji Yun and the others did not shirk, seeing that they had almost rested, they arranged for a boat to go to Los Angeles. They had already prepared for Charles' mission, so they did not act in a hurry.

Charles had already seen the advancement and prosperity of the new city, and felt that nothing would shock him more. However, these days on the ship gave him a new understanding of the prosperity of Zheng.

Since they set foot on the land of Zheng Guo, the meals prepared by Zheng Guo for them have never been repeated, even when they board the boat, they are not the same every day.

At first they didn't realize this, but after several exchanges, they didn't know who said something before they thought of this, and there was a long silence after that.

Only the details can show the strength of a country. From the point of view of food, Zheng State is undoubtedly much stronger than E State. It is not even a thought to threaten Zheng State with the invincible navy of E State.

After transferring from a boat to a car, they arrived at Luocheng, the capital of Zheng State, after another three days. When they saw the majestic city gate of Luocheng, the mission of Country E was no longer amazed by this architectural miracle.

Because this is such a common thing in Zheng Guo, their fuss will only show that they are ignorant.

Another point that caught their attention was that the country of Zheng had a vast territory, no wonder they never coveted the New World.

Because the territory of Zheng State is already big enough, not to mention, almost all the islands surrounding Zheng State belong to Zheng State.

Hof looked at the road under his feet and fell into contemplation. For three days, they have been driving on such a flat road, which is enough to see that Zheng Guo not only has strong financial resources, but also its managers must be strong enough to build such a long road. .
