"A small country outside the country, rude, hateful! Shameless! ”

Seeing that Zhu Cihong slapped the table angrily, the old men of the pavilion didn't know what to do, and after getting Zhu Cihong's permission, Da Dahai told the ministers what he had just heard to the ministers.

It turned out that although the Ministry of Rites didn't understand what the group of envoys said just now, one of the eunuchs who happened to be accompanied by someone who understood the language and told the conversation between the envoys to Da Hai 1510.

As soon as Da Dahai heard this, he contacted the officials of the Ministry of Rites to continue to monitor these envoys, and hurriedly came to report to Zhu Cihong.

"Hehe, the emperor doesn't have to be angry, his mouth grows on others, even if the Ming Dynasty is strong, it is absolutely impossible to control the mouths of Youyou." Liu Hong gradually smiled and comforted.

Still want to play smuggling? He didn't know about these gringos, but with the presence of the Huang Cannon and the Maritime Guard, Chinese businessmen would naturally think twice.

There are some things that you don't do if you scare people and don't do them, someone has to try them and fall into the pit to have an effect.

"I also agree with Liu Qing that the tariffs of these countries will not be lowered, and you Aiqing do not need to discuss this matter again, I have made up my mind." Zhu Cihong still couldn't get angry.

If it weren't for the fact that these foreign envoys came to Beijing to be known to everyone, Zhu Cihong would even want to directly cut down these bird envoys.

"If you don't surrender, you won't surrender, these envoys still want to see and understand, and ask the emperor to give permission." Liu Hong gradually said again.

Trade is a good thing, which means that everyone has money to earn, but it is inevitable that there will be intersections with the countries behind these envoys in the future, and it is not much to know in advance.

For Liu Hongji's proposal, Zhu Cihong did not allow it, and out of the Qianqing Palace, Liu Hongjian followed a small yellow gate to Honglu Temple.

Several envoys in the Honglu Temple gathered in a room and were restless, more than two hours had passed, and the Ming Emperor still did not summon them, which made them feel that things were a little unsmooth.

Three years ago, several countries were still fighting in their own countries, and even now, they often fight for interests in the South Seas.

However, for the sake of Daming, they still chose to cooperate, no way, Daming is too big, and Daming's huge consumer market is too important to them.

"A few distinguished envoys, my Ming King Anguo will see you later, please prepare for a while." A Ministry of Rites official knocked on the door and came in to get in.

"The prince of the Ming Dynasty, the king of Anguo? Hiss-" Little Furlong Envoy Alex took a deep breath of cold air in his mouth.

The other envoys also looked at each other left and right, their eyes full of horror.

Why did Zheng, a major official of the Ming Dynasty, flee south, why did the Ming Dynasty set up the customs yamen so quickly, and why the maritime officials of the Ming Dynasty were so stingy, all from the hands of this Ming Dynasty's Anguo County King.

The Netherlands has a territory closest to Daming, and knows the most about Daming's situation, and I heard that the reason why Daming can be wiped out within three years is also from the hands of this king of Anguo.

Now that the legendary prince said that he wanted to see them, how could he not frighten them, and even a few people had sweat on their foreheads.

"I'm wearing a little too much, and I'm sweating hot." Abbota loosened his shirt and said embarrassedly.

"Yes, this Ming ghost weather!" It was February, and the capital had not yet warmed up, and several envoys complained to relieve the horror in their hearts.

Less leaning, a few envoys came to the yamen of Honglu Temple, and several envoys even humbled each other when they entered the door.

They would rather go and meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty again than come to see the king of Anguo County.

There were two rows of guards with muskets and swords at the waist standing at the entrance of the yamen, and just looking at the eyes of these guards, they knew that they were definitely not good stubble, which made several people even more frightened.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Daming Anguo." Several messengers came in and saluted honestly.

"Hahaha, you don't need to be polite, sit down." Liu Hongyan stretched out his hand and motioned for them to sit down.

Albota and Alex glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that this prince is so young, and he doesn't want to be ruthless when he looks at his face, it should be that the news is inaccurate.

"This king doesn't like nonsense, I heard that you came here to hope that my Ming can reduce or reduce tariffs, but is there such a thing?" Liu Hong gradually got straight to the point.

"This is indeed the case, Your Highness, the Ming Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and we hope that the imperial court can be accommodating and sympathetic to our businessmen." Abraham clenched his fists and made a wise courtesy.

"Yo, which country are you an envoy of, and you still know about the Heavenly Empire?" Liu Hong gradually became happy when he heard it, and the word daring to love the heavenly kingdom was already known to outsiders at this time.

"Back to Your Highness, I'm an Italian Asian." Abraham was honest.

"Then let me ask you, if the merchants of the Ming Dynasty go to your country to trade, how much tax will your country collect." Liu Hong gradually looked at this foreigner with a beard.

"Back to Your Highness, my Italian royal family stipulates that foreign merchants can levy taxes according to the value of ships and goods, but the overall is about thirty percent." Abraham didn't dare to deceive in front of Liu Hongji, and told the truth directly.

"Thirty percent, that is, thirty percent, the tariff of the Ming Kingdom is also composed of ship tax and goods tax, ship tax according to the size of the ship, goods tax according to the value of the goods.

The ship tax is 1,200 taels for large ships, 960 taels for medium ships, and 450 taels for small ships, and the goods tax is calculated according to 20% of the value of the goods.

In this way, if your ships come to our Ming trade with small boats full of spices, the overall tax amount should be less than 30%, that is, less than 30%.

This king doesn't understand, it's clear that the tariffs of the Ming Dynasty are lower than yours, why do you want me to lower the tariffs for you, but you yourself didn't express it? ”

Liu Hong gradually compared and asked rhetorically.

"This ......," Abram Han was speechless for a moment.

In fact, they can't say it, the Ming Dynasty has a huge territory and an even larger population, and the population of the Ming Dynasty is the country behind their envoys and multiplied by ten.

I thought that such a huge market should contain such huge benefits, but this is not the case.

The people of the Ming Dynasty don't seem to be interested in their goods, except for the spice accident, the people of the Ming Dynasty don't buy anything else.

On the other hand, their country's demand for the Ming Dynasty is innumerable, from silk, to porcelain, tea, etc., especially porcelain, which is especially loved by the nobles of their country.

What's even more infuriating is that their country can't produce it, no matter how you study and study, you can't make porcelain like the fine and beautiful porcelain produced by the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty.

Only the silk, porcelain and tea of the Ming Dynasty caused a huge trade deficit between them and the Ming Kingdom.

That is to say, if the tariffs of the Ming Dynasty cannot be reduced or reduced, all the gold and silver they plundered from the South Seas, the Americas, and Liviya will eventually flow into the Ming Dynasty.

This is simply drinking their blood, hard work and hard work, all for the Ming Kingdom to make wedding clothes, who is not angry about this matter?
