Chapter 756 Selling new products to Europeans
Chapter 756 Selling new products to Europeans
Pahlavit did not answer Fang Yizhi's first question, but solemnly warned Daming.
From the perspective of the East India Company and the Dutch government, Pahlavit did not want Spain to defeat Ming, because Daming is not only a country with abundant products and enough benefits for the Netherlands, but also the distance between the two countries is too far. It cannot pose a threat to the Netherlands and the East India Company, but the Spaniards have always been the competitors of the Netherlands.
"The Ming court would like to express its deep gratitude to the Dutch government for its timely warning.
However, your envoys don’t have to worry, I believe that our court has been fully prepared for this. I have addressed the grievances to Master Xingyi and relieved the Lusong clans from their upside down.
Your country is famous for its trade. Mr. Pahlavit's visit this time must have something to do with it, right?
It just so happens that I have another new product on the market, this time will definitely make your company return with a rewarding experience! "
Fang Yizhi first thanked, and then brought the topic back on track.
He knew that the other party came here to make money, and the news from Spain was just to earn favors.
The Ministry of War has long formulated a plan to stop the Spanish army in Manila, preparing to teach the Spaniards a bigger lesson, and now everything is ready, just waiting for the Spaniards to come.
"Brother Mi said that what you East India Company is doing is business. If you have something to say, you can talk about it openly. We are old friends. If you have something to say, just say it. Brother Mi and I can decide on the spot and decide on the spot. Whoever makes the decision will submit it!"
Zheng Zhifeng, who has never said anything, laughed.
He was thinking about how to get a reward for his favorite young son just now, so he didn't pay much attention to the conversation between Fang Yizhi and Pahlavit, but after hearing Fang Yizhi's statement, as the chief official of Honglu Temple, he still He expressed his opinion through words.
Zheng Zhifeng likes to make friends, and she is quite satisfied with her current position as Minister of Honglu Temple. After this trip to Europe, after experiencing several life and death at sea, Zheng Zhifeng's desire for power has become less and less, and she only wants to enjoy life At the same time, if he can pave the way for his youngest son, then his life will be complete.
"Respected Minister Fang and Vice Minister Zheng, I am here for two main reasons.
First, of course, it is necessary to deepen trade relations with your country and export your country's exquisite goods to Europe.
Second, entrusted by the Dutch government, I am dissatisfied with the status and treatment of the Dutch in Taiwan after they moved to Manila as mentioned by your government!
We in the Netherlands believe that after our citizens migrate to Manila, they should enjoy full autonomy and retain appropriate self-defense rights to prevent the personal and property rights of our citizens from being seriously threatened when some accidents happen!
Our Dutch government respects all the overseas rights of the Ming Empire government, but at the same time, we hope that your government will reconsider this matter from the perspective of the friendly and cooperative relationship between the two countries, so as not to hinder future exchanges between the two countries!
This is our request from the Dutch side. We also ask Minister Fang and Vice Minister Zheng to convey our opinions to His Majesty the Great Emperor of your country and take measures to ensure the interests of our Dutch side! "
Pahlavit said to Fang Yizhi and Zheng Zhifeng on the opposite side with a solemn expression.
Now the Dutch in Taiwan have begun to evacuate to Manila in accordance with the agreement, and the Ming Dynasty’s code of conduct for Dutch immigrants in Manila has also been sent back to China. The top leaders of the Dutch government have different opinions on this. The hardliners believe that the previous system in Taiwan should be followed. The Dutch can build a city in Manila, retain a certain number of troops, and have absolute autonomy.
The moderates believe that the current Manila has become a colony of the Ming Dynasty. Judging from the consistent tough policy of the Ming Empire government, this request from the Netherlands will definitely not be allowed, and the Netherlands aims to earn more profits. , there is no need to be too tough on this matter, so as not to arouse the dissatisfaction of the invention empire, and in the end the gain outweighs the loss.
In the end, because the top leaders of the Dutch government did not reach a consensus on this at this time, this clause was added as a tentative condition. According to the attitude of the Ming court at that time, how to deal with it will be decided by Palevit according to the situation.
"Strengthening trade and other cooperation, you and I have already made a good start.
As far as I know, the number of Dutch merchant ships coming to trade has doubled compared to a few years ago, the volume of commodity transactions has also increased greatly, and there is also in-depth cooperation in other industries. All of the above have benefited both sides. shallow.
As for the emigration mentioned by your government, my emperor has made a special account of it.
Your envoy also knows that the reason why my Ming Dynasty attacked Manila was to avenge the innocent people who were killed by the Spanish army.After the event was completed, my emperor heard that Luzon had been illegally occupied by Spain for many years. During this period, the local people were abused, so that the whole island was in dire straits, and their lives were difficult. Therefore, he decided to help the people of Luzon to develop the economy and improve their lives as the top priority, and ordered the army to garrison Here, prevent the local area from being harmed by barbarians again. "
As for the colonial claim, Fang Yizhi firmly denied it, and firmly believed that the Ming army took down Manila for revenge. After seeing that the local people were too poor, he decided to stay and help the people of all ethnic groups in Luzon get rich. The garrison was because they were afraid that Luzon would be invaded by barbarians again.
Pahlavit smiled slightly at Fang Yizhi's high-sounding statement, but did not refute it, but waited quietly for Fang Yizhi's next statement.
"Your country's merchant ships have been sailing on the oceans all year round. You should know that because the Luzon court is being established, it is temporarily under the jurisdiction of my Emperor Ming. That is to say, the current governance of Luzon belongs to my Emperor Ming.
And as far as I know, the Spaniards occupied Luzon for a hundred years before, and your country did not propose to divide the land and rule it. Why are you making such unreasonable demands now?
Could it be that he deceived me that the emperor's military swords and guns are not good?
There is no need to talk about this requirement. It is better for your two countries to talk more about how to increase the trade quota! "
In the end, Fang Yizhi did not do what Pahlavit expected, because he felt that he owed something after rejecting a request from the Dutch side, so he took advantage of the situation and proposed to make certain concessions in other areas as compensation, which made Pahlavit feel a little bit Somewhat disappointed.
However, he quickly put some unhappiness behind him, and then had in-depth talks with Fang Yizhi and Zheng Zhifeng on the purchase and sale of commodities.
According to Zhu Youjian's instructions, Fang Yizhi agreed to expand the sales of sugar, paper, cement and other commodities to the East India Company, and sold steel ball bearings to the East India Company at a price of 50 taels of silver each.
Pahlavit was amazed at this new product, which came out more than 100 years earlier, and quickly realized the importance of this product. However, because Daming imposed a sales restriction on bearings, he only bought 150 pieces this time.
The main reason why Zhu Youjian sold a small batch of bearings to the Dutch was to see where the Europeans, who were several years ahead of the Ming Dynasty in mathematics and physics, would use this highly strategically valuable thing , and what kind of new products will be derived.
Zhu Youjian is not worried that the technology of ball bearings will be learned by Europeans, because they do not have machine tools and steel cutting tools.
The basic science of the Ming Dynasty has not yet started, and now we can only learn more from the advanced experience and technology of other countries.
He hoped that more talents would be born from the use of bearings, and then he would do everything possible to bring these talents to Daming.
Speaking of civilization, this is called "throwing bricks to attract jade", which promotes the development of human science and technology.
The human beings here specifically refer to the citizens of Ming Dynasty.
As for other countries, just insist on the theoretical basis of Ming Dynasty priority.
Da Ming will always stand at the forefront of leading the world forward, and in the future, people from all over the world will reach a consensus: only Da Ming can save all mankind, and Da Ming's values are the most correct.
