The Reborn Lady is Farming
Chapter 1160: cigar
When the envoys of Dongying finally found a way with their money and knew the reason why they were "specially treated", the negotiation between Daqi and Spain had ended, and the two sides signed a trade tax-free treaty, in which Daqi's duty-free goods to Spain reached the limit. Thirty-two, while Spain has sixteen types of duty-free goods in Daqi.
Andre and Antonio are very satisfied with the result, and Xiaobao and the others are also very satisfied with the result, which can be regarded as everyone's joy.
What makes Andre a little unhappy is that Daqi is still unwilling to allocate a separate place for their ships to berth and supply, because Daqi insists that Spain should also give a place to supply Daqi's fleet...
Every part of the empire is precious, Andre can't make the call, and Antonio, who can make the call, obviously doesn't agree, so this matter can only be stranded.
Fortunately, Daqi Songkou means that when there are too many ships in the port, another port will be built as appropriate to provide berthing and supplies for passing ships.
However, the fact is that Qi Haoran was very annoyed by Andre's entanglement, and said angrily: "If you can't do it, just allocate a small island at sea for them to moor and supply."
Xiaoxiong was very stingy and insisted: "The island is also my land, and I must not give it to them."
Mu Yangling proposed, "Just stop the boat for them, manage the place, collect rent, etc., and then allow the local people to sell things for free there, anyway, it will give the people a way to live."
"Yes, as long as there is consumption, the local people are not at a loss." Xiaobao finally made a final decision: "The people along the coast are suffering very much, and it would be good to have more ways to survive."
The matter was settled like this, but this was only a subtotal, because no matter how many other ships there were, it would only take up a small space, and no one took it to heart.
Other Western countries saw that Spain had signed an agreement with Daqi and demanded to follow suit.
Fan Zijin simply asked people to draft several agreements, modify some duty-free goods and send them to them. If they agree, they will sign it.
After signing the contract, the envoy of England smiled and said with the bear: "Dear Prince, I have a special product in England. I don't know if it can be added to the tax-free ranks."
"What specialty?"
The English envoy turned around and took out a box from the attendant, opened it, took out a tube, and handed it to the little bear: "This is a cigar. Our nobles like to use it, maybe you will also be interested."
Before the negotiation, the mother repeatedly emphasized that, except for weapons, all luxury goods used by nobles are not allowed to be listed in the tax-free list, so when Little Bear heard that it was used by nobles, he immediately made a cross in his heart, but he was still very interested. He sniffed, "I heard Andre mention that cigars are actually smoke, right?"
The English envoy was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "You can say the same."
Xiaoxiong handed the thing to him regretfully, and said, "It's a pity, I don't smoke all the time, so don't mention this thing in the tax-free list, it can't even enter the customs."
The English envoy opened his mouth and said, "No smoking? Why is this?"
Because this thing is harmful to health and occupies arable land, the words twirled on the tip of the bear's tongue, and he finally smiled playfully: "I don't know, but the law stipulates that, for hundreds of years, this law has never been It hasn't changed. And my people in Daqi don't like smoking, so even if you can sell this thing, you won't be able to sell it."
"No, no, I don't believe there is anyone who doesn't love cigars," the English envoy said firmly: "There is no one who does not love cigars."
Xiaoxiong shrugged his shoulders to express his regret, "But I'm all smoking cessation."
This sentence directly blocked all the words of the English envoy, and he could not say a word of the words he had prepared before.
In the end, the English envoy insisted on giving the bear a box of cigars, expressing regret that losing a cigar is equivalent to losing a joy in life, because cigars are as important as fine wine.
He hoped that Daqi could revise the law, at least allowing the nobles of Daqi to enjoy the beauty of cigars.
Xiaoxiong knows that foreigners always like to exaggerate, and he is not interested in tobacco.
Daqi has always banned tobacco trading. Most people who like to smoke will split a piece of land to grow some, just like growing vegetables. Although there are occasional tobacco transactions in private, they are very small.
A basket of eggs can be exchanged for a basket of tobacco for those who have no money. Everyone turns a blind eye to such transactions, and no one will really arrest these people.
Those who are rich and smokers mostly grow tobacco in their own villages and do not need to buy them from abroad.
As long as you don't make large transactions, the imperial court will not care.
If foreigners' cigars are allowed to prevail in Daqi, it will not only break the law, but also change the life structure of the people.
Tobacco is not a good thing, and it will take up arable land. Little Bear doesn’t think they will allow each other’s cigars to enter the market, so he didn’t feel relieved when he took a box of cigars home, but threw them in the small study at will.
Little Leopard and his younger sister sneaked into the elder brother's study along the corner of the wall, and when he raised the chair to reach the bow on the wall, Baozhu saw the beautiful box containing the cigars.
She hid the things in her arms without even thinking about it, so she went to help her brother carry the bow out of the small study.
The two little things sneaked away with bows. If they hadn't encountered Mu Yangling coming back from outside, they might have been able to hide things.
Hearing the movement, the little leopard and Baozhu decisively threw away the big bow and ran away.
Mu Yangling saw it from a distance, jumped behind them with a light effort, grabbed their back collars and picked them up, and asked helplessly: "What do you want to do with the big bow?"
The two children kicked and shouted, "Put me down, let me down!"
The box hidden in Baozhu's arms fell to the ground as she struggled, and the cigar rolled from the box and landed at Mu Yangling's feet.
Mu Yangling's complexion changed when he saw this thing, he put down the two children, picked up the cigar and asked, "Where did you get this thing?"
Probably Mu Yangling's face was very serious, the two children shrank their necks, and Baozhu whispered: "From the eldest brother's study, the box is very beautiful."
Mu Yangling touched her little head and said, "Don't take your brothers' things casually in the future. What if it's something important?"
Mu Yangling picked up the cigars and put them in the box, led the two children to the house, and said with a soft expression: "The big bow is too big, you can't open it, I will ask your father to make two small bows for you. OK?"
Little Leopard and Baozhu were disappointed, "But Xiaogong can't kill the rabbit."
Mu Yangling smiled and said, "Then play with a slingshot, that little thing can kill a rabbit."
"Will Daddy take us with him next time he goes hunting?" The little leopard looked at his mother eagerly.
Mu Yangling smiled and said, "If you are obedient, I will beg your father."
Mu Yangling patted their little buttocks and let them play by themselves, turning the cigar in her hand and thinking deeply.
This thing can only come from foreigners, but Daqi prohibits smoking, and Xiaoxiong has never smoked, how can this thing exist?
