"You mean partial tax exemption?" Mu Yangling looked at the two children in astonishment, this is too amazing, how did these two boys think of this?

It's not that she didn't think of making such a proposal before, but firstly, she is not good at economic facts, and secondly, Qi Haoran and others don't pay much attention to it, so she hasn't figured out how to propose it yet.

Unexpectedly, it was brought up by two children now.

Mu Yangling was overjoyed, took Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong's hands and said, "You guys are amazing, how did the melon seeds grow on this little head?"

Both Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong bowed their heads in embarrassment, "But fourth aunt, this is a temporary decision, and we haven't selected which ones can be exempted from tax and which ones can't be exempted, so..."

Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong only proposed such a thing to deceive each other, and they have little knowledge of foreign trade, but they still have basic common sense, "Foreigners' spices, gemstones, ivory, etc. cannot be exempted from tax, but others..."

Qi Haoran immediately became serious, and said seriously: "Cannons can be exempted from tax, but all weapons can only be traded to the court, including but not limited to cannons, muskets, sabers, etc. Wen Chen, please don't answer this matter first, only give it to the imperial court. They put forward a general scope, and let people from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War negotiate with them afterwards."

Xiao Bao nodded and asked, "What about our tax exemption proposal?"

"It's best to be handicrafts," Mu Yangling said, "and the imported tax-free products should mostly be based on raw materials, such as grain, wood, ore, etc."

Mu Yangling only said one thing, and Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong immediately understood, "This is to use their resources to support our people in Daqi!"

Mu Yangling nodded, and he didn't feel any psychological burden on them.

The rest of the little ones were confused, the tiger head habitually didn’t know how to look at the little lion, and the little lion turned to look at Xiao An. Xiao An woke up from the "everyone is so smart" and explained in a low voice: " Daqi now has a large trade balance, with more exports and less imports, and most of the goods shipped back are gold and silver. This thing looks good, but in fact money is money, and it is bought from the people of Daqi when it goes on like this. With more money, Daqi did not gain anything, but lost a lot of silk, porcelain and tea..."

The complexity of the import-export ratio is that modern economics Ph. D.s can't handle it, let alone Xiaoan, a kid?

But he will look at the problem with the simplest eyes. The fourth aunt said that apart from their own functions, gold and silver are the most important currency representatives. It is just money, which is a measure of the value of trading items.

If Daqi could only bring back a large amount of gold and silver from abroad, explaining their function, they just obtained something to measure the value of the traded items, and they were just a bunch of numbers when they did not use gold and silver to buy things.

The trade surplus and deficit are too large, not only the western countries are not willing, but Daqi is also not happy.

Western countries used a large amount of gold and silver to import all kinds of high-end consumables such as silk, porcelain and tea from Daqi, but their own products could not be sold, which also harmed their interests.

But now the initiative is in the hands of Daqi, so they have the right to speak about duty-free products.

When Xiao Bao and Xiao Xiong heard Xiao An's explanation to the younger brothers, they immediately pulled him into the discussion group, and the three of them discussed together.

The tiger heads were unwilling to be lonely, and stood by to help them with various ideas, such as tax-free items, ranging from rice, wheat, flour, soybeans, and various meats to cannons, muskets, etc.

Xiaoan took a pen and recorded them one by one, planning to screen them again afterwards.

The children were still interested, and Mu Yangling also watched with relish, Qi Haoran suddenly asked: "Is it really okay for you to throw the guests in the flower hall like this?"

The room fell silent, Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong jumped up, "We forgot!"

The two ran to the door and ran back to Lamu Yangling, "We promised to let them see you."

Qi Haoran rolled his eyes, got up and said: "Okay, I'll go with you, and I said I stopped it, but I didn't stop it in the end..."

Xiaobao admired fourth uncle's daring to sacrifice his image, Qi Haoran met his eyes and patted him on the head, saying: "Don't think about it, hurry up and open the way."

Anyway, the whole world knows that he is fearful of himself, so it doesn't matter if he shows it in front of foreigners.

Mu Yangling followed behind them with a smile, and took Qi Haoran's hand.

Qi Haoran's face brightened, and he lowered his wide sleeves to cover the hands of the two, grabbed her hand, and followed the two children to the flower hall without looking sideways.

Andre and Antonio were waiting impatiently, and when they saw Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong coming in with ugly faces, they were slightly surprised, and then overjoyed when they saw Qi Haoran and his wife following behind.

Although Qi Haoran's arrival was an accident, it also showed that he attached great importance to his wife. If they can win Mu Yangling, the success of the negotiation will be very high.

The two looked at each other, and both looked at Mu Yangling with the greatest sincerity.

Antonio may not have noticed, but in just a few days, the pride he has always been proud of has been worn away.

Before coming, the four of them decided on the division of labor. Mu Yangling will play the role of a strong wife who loves children, Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong are teenagers who are eager to make meritorious deeds, and Qi Haoran is a fearful prince who loves his wife. Lie and the others didn't like it very much, but they had to give in and start negotiating with the other party about tax exemption.

Needless to say, Qi Haoran, Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong's acting ability is not bad. These two boys used to cheat people a lot, so they have learned to open their eyes and talk nonsense. Mu Yangling can't match them, but Andre and Antonio didn't take it to heart, because Qi Haoran kept staring at her or yelling at her, saying that this was an important matter for the court and she was a woman and could not interfere.

But Mu Yangling stared back without fear under the eyes of the two children Baba, Qi Haoran could only give in.

Andre and Antonio were already stunned by the way Qi Haoran and his wife got along, so they really didn't pay attention to Mu Yangling's slightly unnatural expression.

It is said that Prince Rong is fearful of internal affairs, but he does not know that the Han people are fearful of internal affairs, which is different from the domestic fearful husbands that Antonio knows.

"Oh, what happened to France made Louis fearful, as long as his wife stood up, he didn't even dare to say anything," Antonio said in confusion on the way back, "but this prince dared to attack his wife." Why did you agree to her unreasonable request when you yelled and slapped the table?"

The image of Mu Yangling carrying the cannon up the mountain flashed in Andre's mind, and he blushed and said, "Maybe it's because his wife is very powerful, he only dared to slap the table like this, but he didn't dare to actually do it? "

Antonio shook his head slowly and said, "No, because he loves her!"

Qi Haoran looked at his wife with gentle eyes. Even if he slapped the table and stared, the love in his eyes never diminished. Compromise because of love, this kind of deal is more stable.

"Although it is only partially tax-free, it can be regarded as opening a gap. As long as we take this step, we can go further in the future. We must quickly list the tax-free goods to deal with Daqi officials."

In the end, Qi Haoran only agreed to part of the tax exemption, but the request was made by both parties. However, in order to show the emperor's favor, Qi Haoran said that Daqi's best-selling items will not enter the ranks of tax exemptions, and the list of Daqi's tax exemptions will be less than that of Spain. , try to benefit them.

Can get such an answer, Andre and Antonio are already very satisfied.
