The Reborn Wife is Farming

Qi Haoran frowned and said, "If you need supplies, Guangzhou has a seaport. Apart from Guangzhou, there are also ports such as Guanghaiwei and Huizhou. Don't worry about your supplies at all."

Andre smiled and said: "This port is too busy, and some things are too busy. I want to ask for a small port that only accepts our Spanish fleet to dock for supplies. My lord, most of the people doing business with your country are Chinese businessmen. , we are just thinking of some discounts."

Seeing Qi Haoran's calm expression, Andre continued: "We dare not ask for too big an island. There is a small fishing village called Haojingao outside the port of Guangzhou. I wonder if the prince can give us that small fishing village. Let their ships anchor here for supplies and their crews live here."

Qi Haoran's heart trembled, and he said with a serious face: "Master An, our court has no tradition of enfeoffing territories, not to mention, you are not my meritorious service, let alone grant you the land."

Although Qi Haoran doesn't understand the sea trade business, he is particularly sensitive to land ownership. Now they and Dajin Xixia are fighting for every inch of territory. How could they easily cede a village to foreigners?

Andre hurriedly said: "We can pay the rental lease."

Qi Haoran rolled his eyes and said: "If the crew of your country wants to settle in Daqi, they can also buy or rent houses in Guangzhou. As for the supply of ships, if the Guangzhou port is not competent, the king will make a discount with the court and ask for more Open a port."

Seeing Qi Haoran's insistence, Andre could only change another topic, "The matter of tariff reduction..."

"You don't need to mention this matter. The tariffs of this dynasty are all jointly formulated by the court and the Ministry of Households. This king has no right to reduce or exempt."

Andre didn't believe it. He had contacted several officials. They all said that as long as the prince was willing to speak, the tax reduction and exemption would be a matter of a word from the other party. It is said that the emperor of this dynasty loved his younger brother very much.

Andre wanted to ask again, but Hutou was getting impatient. Didn't this person come to explain the customs of the sea to them, so that they could learn more? He asked anxiously, "Master An, is your home far from here?"

The child stared at him with a pair of round eyes. Andre, who was interrupted, was a little impatient, but from the corner of his eye, he saw Qi Haoran staring at him softly. He hurriedly showed a solemn attitude and smiled. Yingying and Hutou said: "It's far away from here, and the non-stop sailing will take about 70 days, nearly three months."

The little lion leaned forward and wrung the tiger's fingers to calculate, opened his mouth wide and said, "It's been a long time."

"Do all the people in your place look like you?" Little Bear also came over and asked curiously, "They all have the same yellow hair, white skin, and blue eyes..."

Andre smiled, nodded and said: "Of course, just like you are all black-haired and yellow-skinned, our country is also all white-skinned and yellow-haired."

"No, there are people like you in our city of Guangzhou, so are there any people like us in your place?" asked the little lion.

Andre shook his head and said, "No, the merchants we go to and from are all from our continent, and there are no merchants from your country."

"Why not?" Xiao An asked curiously, "You are a businessman, and they are also businessmen. Don't you have a lot of gems, spices and glazes in your country? Why don't they go to your country to buy them?"

Andre proudly said: "Maybe it's because your country just opened the sea ban, your ships are not strong enough, you don't know the route, and you don't have a chart, so you can't reach my country."

"But don't you want to go back to China? Why don't they follow you?" Little Bear didn't think this was a problem.

Andre choked, and Xiao An asked thoughtfully: "You just asked my fourth uncle to give you a special port to anchor, so as long as our ship goes to your country, will your emperor also give us a port?" A seaport?"

Andre laughed awkwardly and said, "Young master, I'm just a businessman, and I can't be my king's master, and I can't even guess what he means."

Xiao An nodded thoughtfully, "So we have to find a prince like my fourth uncle, or pay a visit to your emperor directly?"

"Is their emperor also white-skinned and yellow-haired like them?" Hutou wrinkled his nose and said, "It must be very ugly. I think father and mother are the most beautiful."

The little lion peeked at Andre and nodded in agreement.

Xiao An slapped them on the head one by one, and scolded them: "Don't change the subject, we have to ask more, and we will know how to make the most money when we do sea trade business in the future."

The little lion and tiger shook their heads, and hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "Are we also going to do sea trade business?"

Xiao An nodded solemnly, "My father said that the sea trade business is very profitable. This time when the Zhou family's ship comes back, we can at least triple the profit after deducting all costs and taxes. My father said that 30% of the profit in business is very high." gone."

The tiger-headed star asked, "How much is the three times?"

Xiao An looked at him with contempt, "You didn't listen carefully when Mr. lectured, three times is 300%."

Hutou opened his mouth wide, and couldn't remember when the husband said this.

"So we will also do maritime trade business in the future," Xiaoan clattered his abacus, "Let brother Taosheng be the captain and brother Pinglang be the sailor."

Little Xiong floated over and interjected: "Let Heizi build a boat for you, his carpentry is very good now."

Heizi is a student of Baoxiong Academy in Zhuangzili, Lingnan. He has chosen carpentry as his future development goal, and is now working hard to become an excellent carpenter.

San Xiao repeatedly nodded, expressing agreement, and asked him to be cheaper.

The voices of the children were not low. Andre and Qi Haoran listened to the whole process. The difference was that Qi Haoran knew that these boys would definitely do what they said, and was worried that they would all go overseas when they grew up, while Andre Lie only thought it was a child's joke, after all, the oldest little bear was only seven years old, and the youngest tiger head and little lion were only four years old, he would be crazy if he took it seriously.

The four little ones negotiated the covenant temporarily, and Xiao An turned around and continued to pester Andre and asked, "Then do the ports in your country collect taxes from us?"

Andre said with a smile: "Naturally, tariffs are an important income for a country."

Qi Haoran, who was listening, raised his eyebrows. Since tariffs are an important income of a country, why do you want me to reduce or exempt them?

Qi Haoran backed away calmly, and smiled at Andre: "Master An, help me take a few children, I'll go to the cabin to have a look."

Andre was happy to have a good relationship with the young masters, and nodded repeatedly, "Go, my lord, I will take the young masters with me."

When Qi Haoran turned around, he winked at the four children. The little bear turned his eyes and focused on the little lion and Xiao An. Xiao An quietly pinched the tiger's head, pulled Andre and asked questions. stand up.

The little bear hurriedly pushed the little lion out, stood behind Andre himself, and asked a few questions from time to time.
