Chapter 766: Da Ming's conditions

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, or I still want to rely on the power of Daming to do things.

If it were him, he might have helped this embarrassing Indian, but war is dead, and the imperial court has to provide a huge amount of military spending, so the starting point of war must consider national interests.

As the old saying goes, there is no eternal friendship, only eternal interests, it is not that politicians are too cold-blooded, the first thing that mature politicians have to overcome is pity, and the upper limit of great love can only be for their own country.

To put it bluntly, Da Ming helps you out, what can Da Ming get?

"Lord Daming, the Incas are willing to pay tribute to Daming!" As if he had already thought about it, Aragorn paused slightly.

"Hehe, do you think this alone will convince Your Majesty?" The corners of Liu Hong's mouth raised slightly, and he said calmly.

Perhaps Aragon has inquired about the temperament of the Ming officials, and this article may not be attractive to the court and the emperor, after all, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu both want to reproduce the grand occasion of the coming of all countries.

But what is the use of an egg? It is not beneficial to the country and the people, it is a matter of face if it sounds good.

"There is a gold mine and two silver mines on the border of the Indo-Canadian country, if it happens, they will all be mined by the Ming Dynasty!" Aragorn seemed to have known that it was difficult to convince people with the first clause alone, and after Liu Hong gradually questioned it, he immediately made a new offer.

"But now these three mines are in the hands of the Franco, and this king doesn't like empty promises." Liu Hong gradually said expressionlessly.

It's not that he hates blank checks per se, but he likes to write them to others.

"It's ......," Aragorn fell silent.

Aragorn was a man who understood, and he knew in his heart that what he had promised was now in vain, but what could he do?

What, exactly, his tribe now has nothing, and what can he give of it?

"Otherwise, this king will say a few things, and if you can agree, this king can try to make a suggestion to your majesty." Liu Hong gradually saw Aragorn's embarrassment and took the initiative.

Merica is rich in mineral resources and cash crops, and Daming will have to insert a foot sooner or later, although it is not yet possible to free up his hand, but it is still necessary to lay out in advance.

Since there are descendants of the Inca, it is only natural to wait for the time to become the ruler of Melica.

"Lord Wang, please speak, Aragorn doesn't dare to disobey!" Aragorn swept away the gloom on his face and said with joy.

"First, in addition to the three mines you just said, Daming also has the priority to contract other mines, of course, Daming is a country that pays attention to etiquette, and we will pay for the contract." Liu Hong gradually groaned for a moment.

"It's no problem, my people will agree, is there anything else?" Aragon thought that Liu Hong would gradually open his mouth, but he didn't expect that the other party would be the idea of fighting other mines.

In fact, the Inca army had very few metal weapons at the time of the Franconian invasion, preferring bows and arrows to broadswords and spears, arrows with plant venom, and no metal was used at all.

"Of course!" Liu Hong gradually said without thinking.

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

"Second, the rubber trees and their products in the Inca territory could only be sold to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty had bargaining power."

There are huge profits in the rubber business alone, and there is no one who makes more money than monopoly.

Liu Hongjian was unable to rob as openly as the Europa, and this was not in line with the Han tradition, and the way to accumulate capital was not only to kill, he firmly believed.

He does not intend to rely on oppression and killing to extract profits, as the old saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance, and the friendly reputation of the Chinese nation for thousands of years cannot be broken between Daming and his thoughts.

Maybe this is very womanly, but whoever makes him the ruler has to be determined by the world and the rules.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that." Aragorn thought for a moment and agreed.

The rubber tree was just an ordinary plant in Melikah, and the products it produced were of little use to their people, and of course, with their level of technology, they did not understand the way of it.

"Third, all Ming caravans to Merica for trade are exempt from import and export taxes."

This is the most important point, Liu Hong gradually became cautious, and after speaking, he glanced at Aragorn's face, worried that this guy would not agree.

Commercial tax is the foundation of a country's taxation, and it is also a very high expenditure in the trade cost of merchants.

It's just that Liu Hongji's worries are superfluous, and Aragorn's next words directly made Liu Hongji's face black.

"May I ask the prince, what is a tariff?" Aragorn's expression was very serious.

It has been a hundred years since they returned to the tribal system, and even when the Inca Empire was at its strongest, taxes were collected only on the basis of capitation, and even more so on the strength of the tribe.

Liu Hongjian had to explain the meaning of the tariff to Aragorn, but Aragorn did not take it seriously after hearing this, and agreed directly.

"Anything else?" Aragorn asked very calmly.

For them, as long as they can restore the country and drive away the inhumane invaders, they are willing to pay the price of their lives, and the conditions of the Ming are not harsh, in fact, Aragorn feels that the conditions of the Ming are very mild.

Of course, this was limited to his knowledge, and with the level of civilization of the Incas, he did not understand how much benefit was contained in these conditions.

"That's all for the time being, when this king meets His Majesty the Ming Emperor, there will be an official document to sign, and if there are any changes, we can discuss it then." Liu Hongjian is also very calm, which is a mutually beneficial deal for the two countries.

For the Incas, it was a matter of survival, as long as they could survive, it was enough, but for the Ming Dynasty, it was only for profit.

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

After Aragorn finished speaking, he gradually saluted Liu Hong, this time, he was representing all his clansmen, and it was worth the trip to Daming.

"It's just that Lord Wang, when will Daming's fleet depart." Aragorn stood up.

He had been in Daming for nearly two months, and Aragon was worried that if the time was too long, the tribe would have problems, after all, even if the fleet set off immediately, it would take a long time to reach the Incas.

"Three years for the long and two years for the short." Liu Hong gradually estimated the situation of the Nanyang and Beiyang sailors.

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

"The Incas! It's war, war, you know? You need to cross the ocean, you need to take a lot of risks! Liu Hongjian directly interrupted Aragorn's words, he understood Aragorn's feelings.

After all, after a hundred years of struggle, the Ming Dynasty is now like a life-saving straw for the Incas, who are in a hurry to go ashore.

His ancestors had turned to the Dutch and the Portuguese for help, but these whites were as ferocious as the Franciscans, and the two months they spent in Daming made Aragorn determined to put his last bet on Daming.

The harsh living conditions in the Amazon jungle are destroying the tribesmen's bodies, and the tribe is almost unable to support them.

"Incas, this king understands your situation, don't worry, the fleet may need to wait, but the aid of the Ming Dynasty will be cashed in immediately!" Liu Hong gradually comforted.

"Wait for tomorrow, this king will take you to the military camp of the Ming Dynasty to have a look, so that you can see the military appearance of the Ming Dynasty!"
