I am the carpenter king

Nothing major happened in the court, so Emperor Tianqi concentrated all his energies on negotiating with the Portuguese and the Spaniards.Emperor Tianqi was very concerned about this matter.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi received the special envoy of Portugal. For the Portuguese who could not wait, this opportunity must be seized.Riel has made all the preparations and is confident that he can deal with any problems of the Emperor Tianqi.

"Two special envoys, I already know your request, now please explain it in detail!" Emperor Tianqi looked at the two Portuguese special envoys with a smile.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we have come from afar, just hoping to get Ming's help. In my country, the flames of war are burning, and the barbaric Spaniards have occupied our country. We people who are wandering overseas are always thinking about restoring our motherland. glory." Riel's face was very sad, and he didn't pretend it was, after all, Portugal was occupying it at this time, so these words were naturally from the bottom of his heart.

Slowly nodded, Emperor Tianqi showed a sympathetic look on his face, and said: "Force cannot make people submit, and what can make people submit is always justice. I sympathize with your experiences, but your country is far from Daming is really too far away. There is a saying in Daming that the whip is beyond reach, I wonder if the two special envoys have heard of it?"

Unlike Riel, Emperor Apocalypse is purely acting. For Emperor Apocalypse, whether it is Portugal or Spain, they are potential enemies.It is the most important thing to be able to make profits and catch up with the pace of the sea era as soon as possible.

As for the Spaniards, Spanish people, or even the Dutch, it would be better to beat their heads into dog heads!However, there is still a certain attitude.Just can't agree to any substantive conditions.

"Respected His Majesty the Emperor, we very much hope that Daming can help us, but His Majesty has misunderstood, and we do not want the Emperor to directly send troops to Portugal. The shame needs to be washed away by ourselves, and the shame can only be washed away by donating blood. We will work hard to do it!" A look of hatred flashed on Riel's face.At the same time, he seemed to be full of gratitude to Emperor Tianqi. As for whether it was sincere, only God knows.

"I don't know what the special envoy wants me to help with? But it's okay, Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven and a state of etiquette. If I can help, I will definitely help." Emperor Tianqi looked at Ruier with a smile, A warm-hearted look.

The nonsense is almost over, Riel knows it's time to get down to business!Although the emperor in front of him was young.But Riel knew that this was a very difficult person to deal with.After being in contact with officials of the Ming Dynasty for so long, Ruier found that they did not know much about overseas.

In the mainstream view of Daming, only Daming is the kingdom of heaven, and other places are all barbarians.The look down on them from the bottom of their hearts made them disdain to be with barbarians.Originally thought that the emperor was the same, as long as he lowered his attitude, he should be able to get Da Ming's assistance.Now Riel has put the idea away.I still need to use actual benefits to convince His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty the Emperor. I heard that His Majesty intends to start maritime trade. Portugal has some experience in this area, but it will cooperate with Daming. You must know that maritime trade requires ships, and ships that can sail on oceans are very important. At the same time, there must be people who understand We hope to cooperate with His Majesty the Emperor so that we can build warships together and go to sea to do business together.” Ruier really hopes that Emperor Tianqi is a talented and bold emperor, as long as the emperor’s interest in sea trade Aroused, Riel believed that his chance would come.

Emperor Tianqi's interest in maritime trade does not need to be seduced by Riel, it exists from the deepest part of his heart.For a traveler, if you don't know what maritime trade in this era means.That is definitely not a qualified time traveler.

Regarding Ruier's conditions, Emperor Tianqi was still very tempted. After all, whether it was the experience of ocean sailing or the experience of building warships, these were all things that Daming lacked.After all, from Zheng He's voyages to the present, 200 years can change a lot of things.

Looking at Ruier, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "Special Envoy Ruier, I don't quite understand what you mean!"

cunning!Ruier gave Emperor Tianqi such an evaluation in his heart!Obviously the emperor didn't want to raise the conditions himself, he wanted to raise the conditions himself, and he agreed with the trend.

Riel really guessed right this time, after all, the emperor of a country really has the right to talk about these things.Besides, this is Daming, if the news gets out, there will probably be an uproar.

"Respected His Majesty the Emperor, we hope that we can jointly build ships with Daming. We will provide shipbuilding technology, and Daming will provide craftsmen and materials. For the warships to be built in the future, I hope that the Emperor will give us one-third of the warships. Three points The number of one of them should not be less than [-] warships, and I hope His Majesty the Emperor will grant it." Riel put forward his own conditions, and looked at Emperor Tianqi cautiously.This is what he wants most, and everything else is trivial.

If you want to restore Spain's former glory and regain the colonies occupied by the Spaniards, you must go through war.Without warships, it is useless to say anything. With the support of the huge national power of the Ming Dynasty, this is the most important thing.With warships, you can trade, and this is the most important thing.

Glancing at Riel, Emperor Tianqi smiled and waved his hands. Although he wanted to get the Portuguese technology and experience, he paid one-third of the warship, which was too expensive for Emperor Tianqi.Your own finances are already tight, and you still want to intervene, how can you do it?

"Special Envoy Riel, I think you also know the cost of building a fleet, and it will take time. You need [-] warships. If you let Da Ming deliver them in ten years, there will be no problem!" Tian Qi The emperor looked at Riel with a smile, he did not believe that the Portuguese would agree to such a condition.

"Your Majesty, ten years is too long, three years is enough!" Riel saw that Emperor Tianqi seemed to be joking, but he dared not be serious.

Waving his hands, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "We need to build a shipyard, and you all know that this is not a trivial matter. If you want to get [-] warships within three years, you can't do it with just technology. Need For half the cost, that keeps the shipyard running."

Seeing that Riel was still talking, Emperor Tianqi waved his hand and said, "I can promise you that I will deliver all the first thirty ships to you. Of course, you have to pay for the shipbuilding yourself, which is very important. , the time is set to three years!"

In the eyes of Emperor Tianqi, the most important thing for the Portuguese is experience and technology. Now Tianjin already has a shipyard, and the express delivery of production is not slow.I am building a shipyard with the Portuguese. As long as I deliver [-] ships to them, I can get the technology and experience of the Portuguese, and at the same time build a shipyard with half the cost. This is the key.

Ruier fell into deep thought at this time, he felt that his idea was very good, but he was disturbed by Emperor Tianqi at this moment.He was very entangled in his heart, if he could have a boat, it meant he was rich!Being able to obtain thirty ships at the fastest speed is definitely not something that can be measured by money.

But Riel still doesn't understand, what exactly does His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty want to do?Don't even want a ship?But this is not a question that I should consider.After thinking about it, Riel said, "His Majesty the Emperor, when are you going to start maritime trade?"

"If we can reach an agreement, I'm going to start shipbuilding on Fujian Shipbuilding right away. Of course, I need your experience and technology. By next year at the latest, there should be ships on the water, so I will start maritime trade. Here Before that, I will clear the Taiwan Strait as soon as possible, and clear the obstacles for opening the sea!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Riel with a smile, and said with a very relaxed expression.

Gritting his teeth, Riel turned his heart and said: "Your Majesty, we hope to obtain the right to trade in Daming. If the Emperor agrees, we will also agree to the previous things!"

Emperor Tianqi was secretly happy, but his face remained calm, he nodded and said: "Okay! Very good! I promise you, as for how to do it, there will be a special person to talk to you. Once the matter is discussed Yes, we can sign a treaty."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!" Riel was relieved to be able to finalize the matter.Although it cost more money than expected, it was nothing.Although people like myself have been exiled to Macau, they still have money, and once they can enjoy trade, they don't need as much money as they want.

Now that Spain has fallen, the Portuguese in Macau have received assistance from China before Riel came, this is for the revival of the country!The royal family has agreed to Da Ming's cooperation, and someone will take out the money.

"By the way, there is one more thing, I hope you can agree to it!" Emperor Tianqi seemed to remember something again, and said with a smile while looking at Riel.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, please tell me that as long as I can do it, I will do my best." Riel was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Emperor Tianqi was going to go back on his word, so he raised his heart.

Glancing at Riel, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "I hope to hire some people from you Portuguese, and I hope you don't stop it."

"It's their blessing to be valued by His Majesty the Emperor. Your Majesty may choose, as long as they have no objections, we will not interfere." Riel was relieved immediately, it turned out that it was just a trivial matter . (To be continued..)
