Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 61 Trouble is coming
Chaozhou City.

"What? The imperial envoy? The alliance envoy? Wei Xiaobao?"

Liu Dapao accepted the order from Wu Shuntian with a confused face, and his mood was extremely complicated for a while.

In the end, my cheap master still got his hands on this Wei Xiaobao. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that he wanted Wei Xiaobao to make trouble and destroy the Qinghe alliance.

To be honest, Liu Dapao himself is generally opposed to the alliance between Qing and He. Although the specific content has not been discussed yet, there is a high probability that the old three items will be mentioned again. This is why big traitors like Geng Zhongming back then had to support it. Of course, you should also reserve your own opinions.

Taking a step back, even if I am powerless in the matter of ceding Xiamen after all, I cannot stop the Dutch under the premise that Kangxi has a clear decree, and if an imperial envoy like Wei Xiaobao comes over, he will sign the treaty at that time Naturally, it will be him, and he can escape the infamy of the four words "historical sinner".

In fact, Liu Dapao himself guessed that the reason why Wei Xiaobao was able to serve as the imperial envoy must be directly related to the few papers he had written against the cession of land before. Take the blame.

For Wei Xiaobao, Kangxi used it clearly.

However... Liu Dapao was a little afraid that Wei Xiaobao would offend the Dutchman too much.

To be honest, he actually still hopes to do business with the Dutch. In this era, the Dutch East India Company can say without hesitation that it is a great system innovation with great groundbreaking and the world's most innovative system. Representatives of the most advanced productive forces, not even one of them, absorb the essence from it, discard the dross, and learn from the barbarians.

Unless the Qing Dynasty completely gave up maritime trade, the Dutch East India Company is really a relatively good choice, at least relatively better than the Spanish in Manila.

I'm afraid that Wei Xiaobao will be too reckless, such as sleeping the wife of Governor Pete. I'm afraid this kind of thing is not something that most men in the West can bear. Not only will the alliance not be formed, but the two families will marry again Enmity, the land does not need to be cut, but the trade is also yellow.

Besides, Liu Dapao has always thought that the people in the Yanping Palace are somewhat abnormal in their minds, and their obsession with Xiamen is a bit magical, and driving away the Dutch colonists will really make Chaozhou as expected by his master. The Navy and the Yanping Palace maintain a balance due to mutual fear, are they all in peace?
What if they go crazy and want to fight themselves desperately?
So for this upcoming negotiation, the difficulty lies in grasping the degree. Even if Liu Dapao can control the scale, he is already walking on thin ice, and he can't do it by a single cent. I'm going to lose my hair for a few days.

Now that a Wei Xiaobao is sent down here, who knows what kind of negotiations can be made, who knows whether they can go as they want.

This feeling of being out of control is really uncomfortable.

Seeing that Liu Dapao only heard one name, his eyebrows were so wrinkled that he could kill a fly, Wu Shuntian couldn't help but come up with an idea: "My lord, I have heard of the great name of Wei Dutong when I was in the capital. This person eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles ignorantly, he is quite greedy and lustful, but he is favored by the Emperor Tartar, he is a celebrity around him, and he and Prince Kang are brothers and sisters on weekdays, and he must not offend him .Look... do you want me to help you prepare?"

"What do you want to prepare?"

"It's nothing more than silver, and beauties. Let's turn the silver into water. Even if Wei Dutong is an elephant, he can soften him. At that time, you can talk about the matter of taking credit, and you will be blamed." Sign him to sign, anyway, he is a celebrity in front of His Majesty."

Liu Dapao found it funny when he heard this, and said: "Although I dare not say that I have been doing nothing since I took office, in fact, it has only been more than three months since I took office as the magistrate of Chaozhou, and I have been busy so much. There are too many things, I just want to be greedy and I don't have time to be greedy, so what can I use to get this Wei Dutong?"

"My lord, you don't know that there are a lot of merchants in this city of Chaozhou. When I heard that you might be in charge of overseas trade in the future, the big merchants from the nearby provinces have all prepared enough money. I was waiting in this Chaozhou city early.

They are trustees and looking for ways, eagerly waiting to see you, waiting for you to show some soup from under your fingernails, so that they can have a good meal, nothing more than you being closer The time is busy with official duties, and they will never see you when they meet.

If this Wei Dutong came, in a word, wouldn't these businessmen scramble to grab this Wei Dutong and make arrangements for this Wei Dutong clearly? "

Liu Dapao laughed and said, "So, you haven't received less money recently, right?"

Wu Shuntian didn't hide it: "It's a little bit, but I don't know your specific thoughts, how dare you charge more, it's just a meaningless meeting gift, these businessmen raped you, so far you haven't even paid for it. I haven't even shown my face yet, how could they really be willing to spend money on me, it's all here, or I... donate it to our Tiandihui for activity funds?"

As he spoke, he took out a stack of bank notes from his pocket, with a look of reluctance.

"Okay, it's not bad for your part, don't need to donate, save it to buy snacks for the children, I also know that the big businessmen in the neighboring provinces are all in Chaozhou City recently, but how to do the sea trade specifically, Indeed, we still have to wait for the letter from the Dutch East India Company, everything can only be discussed after the conclusion of this negotiation and the results of the specific negotiations."

"So if they come to me, I'm sure I won't be able to see them. Just help me receive them, eat and drink, or get a little money. It's fine. Just don't do anything for me, but people You have to catch me too, and you can't let them go, what kind of Chaozhou city can be built in the future, all depends on them."

"As for Wei Xiaobao, you don't have to worry about it. The cause and effect this time are not that simple."

"Don't worry, I still understand this, it's just... you don't have to miss others, anyway, most of the merchants who come to the city today are Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi merchants, but I heard that at the latest the day after tomorrow, a group of Zhejiang merchants But it’s time to form a team.”

"What happened to Zheshang? Is there anything special about it?"

"My lord, you forgot, you are from Zhejiang."

"Huh? I'm from Cantonese."

"Liu Xun! Liu Xun is from Shaoxing!"
