Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 768 Daming's Conditions

Even if he said a thousand things and ten thousand things, he still wanted to rely on Daming's strength to do things.

If it was himself, he might help this embarrassing Indian. However, wars kill people, and the imperial court has to provide huge military expenditures, so the starting point of wars must be to consider national interests.

There is an old saying that there is no eternal friendship, only eternal interests. It is not because politicians are too cold-blooded. The first thing a mature politician has to overcome is compassion, and the upper limit of great love can only be directed at one's own country.

To put it bluntly, if Da Ming helps you get ahead, what can Da Ming get?
"Lord Daming, the Incas are willing to pay tribute to Daming!" Aragorn seemed to have made up his mind, and only paused for a moment before saying.

"Hehe, do you think this alone can convince His Majesty?" Liu Hongjian said calmly with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.

Perhaps Aragorn has already found out the temper of the officials of the Ming Dynasty. This article may not be attractive to the court and the emperor. After all, both Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu want to reproduce the grand occasion of the coming of all nations.

However, is there any use for paying tribute?It is not beneficial to the country or the people, it just sounds good, but it is a matter of face.

"There is a gold mine and two silver mines on the border of the Inca country. If things come to fruition, they will all be mined by Ming!" Aragorn seemed to know that it would be difficult to convince people with the first one. After Liu Hongjian questioned it, he immediately opened another new conditions.

"But now these three mines are all in the hands of Franji, my king doesn't like empty promises." Liu Hongjian said expressionlessly.

He doesn't hate bad checks per se, but he likes to write bad checks to others.

"This..." Aragorn was silent.

Aragorn is a sensible person, he knows in his heart that what he promised is now in vain, but what can he do?

To be precise, his tribe has nothing now, so what can he offer?

"Why don't you do it this way, I will say a few things. If you agree, I can try to advise His Majesty." Liu Hongjian saw Aragorn's embarrassment and said proactively.

Merriga is rich in mineral resources and cash crops, and sooner or later, Daming will have a foot in it. Although there is still no time to spare, it is still necessary to plan ahead.

Since there are descendants of the Incas, it will be justifiable to take over Merica when the time is right.

"My lord, please tell me, Aragorn dare not refuse!" Aragorn said happily, sweeping away the despondency on his face.

"First, in addition to the three mines you just donated as gifts, Daming also has the priority to contract other mines. Of course, Daming is a country that pays attention to etiquette, and we will pay the contracting fee." Liu Hongjian pondered. said for a moment.

"It's no problem. My people will agree. Is there anything else?" Aragorn thought Liu Hongjian would open his mouth, but he didn't expect that the other party had the idea of ​​exploring other mines.

In fact, the Inca army had very few metal weapons when the Frangians invaded. Compared with broadswords and spears, they preferred bows and arrows. The arrow feathers with plant poison did not use metal at all.

"Of course!" Liu Hongjian said without thinking.

If you want the soldiers of Ming Dynasty to bear the risk of war, how can this benefit be possible.

"Second, rubber trees and their products in the Inca territory can only be sold to Daming, and Daming has the right to bargain."

There are huge profits in monopolizing the rubber business, and the most profitable is the monopoly.

Liu Hongjian couldn't be as clear as the Europeans, and it didn't conform to the tradition of the Han people. The way of capital accumulation is not the only way to kill, he firmly believes so.

He didn't intend to extract benefits by oppression and killing. As the old saying goes, where there is oppression, there will be resistance. The friendly reputation of the Chinese nation for thousands of years cannot be ruined between Daming and his thoughts.

Maybe this is a woman's benevolence, but whoever makes him the ruler, the world and the rules have to be determined by him.

"I think there is nothing wrong with this." Aragorn agreed after thinking for a while.

Rubber trees are just ordinary plants in Merika, and the products they produce are not very useful to their people. Of course, with their technological level, they don't understand the way of it at all.

"Third, all Daming caravans that trade in Melika are exempt from import and export taxes."

This is the most important point. Liu Hongjian was very cautious. After speaking, he glanced at Aragorn's face, worried that this fellow would disagree.

Commercial tax is the foundation of a country's taxation, and it is also a very high expenditure in the trading cost of merchants. If it is exempt from tax, Daming will make a lot of money, because it is unilateral, and the cost will eventually flow back to the Ministry of Households of Daming .

It's just that Liu Hongjian's worry was superfluous, and Aragorn's next words directly made Liu Hongjian's face black.

"Excuse me, my lord, what is tariff?" Aragorn said seriously.

It has been 100 years since they returned to the tribal system. Even when the Inca Empire was at its strongest, tax collection was only calculated on the basis of the head, and what was even more calculated on the basis of the strength of the tribe.

Liu Hongjian had to explain the meaning of tariffs to Aragorn, but Aragorn didn't take it seriously and agreed without hesitation.

"Is there anything else?" Aragorn asked very calmly.

For them, as long as they can restore their country and drive away the inhuman invaders, they are willing to pay the price of their lives, and Daming's conditions are not harsh. In fact, Aragorn thinks that Daming's conditions are very gentle.

Of course, this was limited to his knowledge. With the level of civilization of the Incas, he didn't understand how much benefit these conditions contained.

"That's all for the time being. When I meet with His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, there will be a formal official document signed. Any changes can be discussed at that time." Liu Hongjian is also very calm. This is a good time for the two countries. Mutually beneficial business.

For the Incas, this is a matter of survival, as long as they can survive, it is enough, but for Daming, it is only an interest.

"Aragorn once again thanks the Lord Daming for his help, the Incas will always remember the generosity of the Ming Empire!"

After Aragorn finished speaking, he saluted Liu Hongjian again. This time, he was representing all his clansmen. It was a worthwhile trip to Daming.

"It's just my lord, when can Daming's fleet set off." Aragorn got up and said.

He has been in Daming for nearly two months, and Aragorn is worried that the tribe will have problems if the time is too long. After all, even if the fleet departs immediately, it will take a long time to reach the Inca.

"The longest is three years, and the shortest is two years." Liu Hongjian said after evaluating the situation of the Nanyang and Beiyang navy.

"It's too long, our people don't want to wait that long, I..."

"The Incas! This is war. Do you understand war? You need to travel across the ocean and take great risks!" Liu Hongjian directly interrupted Aragorn's words. He understood Aragorn's feelings.

After all, after struggling for 100 years, Daming is now like a life-saving straw for the Incas, and they are eager to go ashore.

His ancestors had turned to the Dutch and Portuguese for help, but these white people were as cruel as the Franji people. During the two months he stayed in Daming, Aragorn made up his mind and placed his last bet on Daming.

The harsh living environment in the Amazon jungle is destroying the body of the tribe, and the tribe is almost unable to support it.

"Inca, I understand your situation, don't worry, the fleet may have to wait, but Ming's assistance will be realized immediately!" Liu Hongjian comforted.

"Wait tomorrow, I will take you to Daming's barracks to have a look, and let you see Daming's military appearance!"
