Both treaties were not easy to sign, and although they were both plenipotentiary emissaries, both the governor and the king gave the bottom line long before they set out.

On the side of the Portuguese Viceroy of India, as long as he could avoid conflict with the Ming State, he could divide all the land except Goa equally with Chen Mu, and the Portuguese would take the lion's share, and Chen Mu would take the less, thirty-seven or four-six points, and sign an alliance with military affairs equally.

Originally, the Indian governor wanted to take advantage of the advantages of the Iberian Peninsula and send troops to Chen Mu together with the Spanish and Mexican Viceroyalty to force Chen Mu, but he didn't expect Spain to lose much faster than he imagined, and this plan was naturally impossible to talk about.

Spain could not talk about the bottom line, their bottom line was that they would only lose 20 tons of silver this year, and that the goods should be sent to Mexico from the treaty talks, and that there must be raw silk in the goods - the silk mill in which the king had a stake had been out of stock for two years and was about to close its doors.

But they couldn't imagine that Chen Mu would make all kinds of demands, even if they said that they were full power, they didn't dare to guarantee that Chen Mu's requests were within their authority.

Portugal is okay to say that the fleet can return with Chen Mu's suggestion, and you can know if the matter is not successful next time, but it is not so easy for Spain to go back.

In the end, Tang Juan almost had to openly and honestly warn him not to want to get involved in the Potosí silver mine, but Chen Mu retorted lightly: "What do I want to do with the silver mine, I sincerely want to lease a piece of land in Seville, and I want to open up trade routes and let cultural exchanges start." ”

"It's better to be a friend than an enemy, isn't it?"

Tang Juan's eyes widened, "Friend, don't you sell me raw silk?" ”

"Raw silk is not sold, and raw silk is not allowed to flow out tomorrow."

Chen Mu didn't blush at all when he said this, because the Ming Dynasty Customs was indeed not allowed to sell raw silk regardless of Haojing or Yuegang, and it couldn't even be sold for smuggling.

In the past, it was only the local sailors who checked the smuggling, and sometimes there were no sailors, but now it is different, the first checkpoint is the officials sent by Zhang Juzheng, and the second line of defense is the sailors.

The flag army of the Nanyang military government has its own standards of rewards and punishments, if someone secretly hides the prohibition, after the report is verified by the flag army, the reward of 15 taels of goods will be 10 taels, and the first offender will be killed on the spot.

Under the triple insurance, it cannot be said that there is absolutely no at sea, but there are very few.

"But your king doesn't have to worry, how much a silk and satin sells for, this trade route is opened, there is no need to go back and forth freight, it is all up to me, and you don't have to work hard in Mexico, my merchant will sell it directly to the king at ninety percent of the market price, and he will find someone to sell."

Chen Mu's eyes widened, he raised his forehead vigorously, trying his best to increase the credibility of his words and even make his forehead lines revealed, he said: "Let me give you an analysis, what is the current situation, Spain is very rich, but the royal family is in debt, so they can only hand over the power to pay taxes and mine to others." ”

"The royal family doesn't pay taxes, it's a vicious circle."

"If the goods are handed over directly to the king and sold by the king's cronies, the money earned back is the king's, and the king has the money to recruit more troops, build more warships, and defend your territory, right?"

"Look at my Da Ming, I have been sitting here and making money without doing anything, I am losing money when I go to sea! Our officials were especially opposed to me going to sea. ”

Chen Mu pursed his lips and made up nonsense one by one, seeing that Xu Wei around him really couldn't listen to it, he hurriedly went out to let people serve tea.

At the moment when he walked out of the door, Xu Wei also heard Chen Mu patting his breastplate and said very proudly: "But I'm a visionary, do you know vision?" Take a long-term view! Regardless of the gains and losses of hundreds of thousands of taels and millions of taels of silver, what do I care about? I care about cultural exchange! ”

Culture...... Communication?

Tang Juan blinked, not knowing what Chen Mu was talking about.

"Although you were defeated in the battle, I think Spain is a very respectable opponent, and the Ming and Spain should understand each other."

The proud Iberian nobles nodded one after another when they heard the praise from the enemy, as for what Chen Mu said, it doesn't matter, you see, he said that we are respectable opponents!

"Only you understand me, I understand you, you can sit down and talk when you have different opinions, no need to fight and no dead, Ming and Spain are so far away, there is no conflict of fundamental interests."

"Lease me a piece of land, think about it, what's the use of putting that land there? But we can open a window, my excellent things to teach you, literature, poetry, when you speak Chinese well enough, you can also learn more in-depth knowledge, your excellent arts, handicrafts, will also be passed on to me, only a piece of land is not vast, mine is yours, yours is mine. ”

"Trade makes us more prosperous, learns, makes our country stronger, and that's ten times better than war!"

Chen Mu had a fanatical expression on his face that only the most devout believers had, and in a posture that Tang Juan was not used to, he stood at the window with his shoulders and looked at the endless sea in the distance and stretched out his arm, "For this, I am willing to pay the price of one million taels of silver, think about it, the combination of Daming and Spain, the two most powerful countries in the world." ”

"Ten or twenty years later, we know enough that with brotherhood, when we think that your religion is good enough, maybe tens of millions of believers will ......"

Chen Mu turned his head with an exaggerated expression that was different from the serious expressions of the Ming Dynasty officials and asked, "Is your religion good enough?" ”

Don Juan's eyes were a little out of focus, he looked at the huge warships of the Ming Dynasty anchored at sea, and thought about the situation of tens of millions of believers, and he couldn't help but put this negotiation on the same level as the centuries-old war with the Ottomans.

He nodded firmly, "Of course excellent!" ”

"Very well, I believe you, and now is the time for God to put you to the test, and you are willing to pay, no, lend...... That little bit of land? ”

The corners of Chen Mu's mouth turned up, and he continued to bewitch: "This is not only a long-term benefit, in the short term, if that land is lent, I plan to station three thousand infantry in the local area, this will not pose a threat to you, the baggage depends on you to feed, if the situation allows, they can even fight for you, think about it, this is like a heroic story in the legend, the former enemy becomes a partner who fights side by side." ”

"There is no one in the world who can stand up to the coalition of two of the most powerful nations in the world!"

Don Juan almost believed it.

Just a little bit, just when Tang Juan wanted to agree, a question suddenly rose in his heart, and he asked Chen Mu: "If that's the case...... Why didn't Daming lease us a piece of land? ”

"Well, I told you you don't tell anyone."

As if telling Tang Juan something secret, Chen Mu raised his right hand to block the corner of his left mouth, and whispered: "My colleagues are too short-sighted, they know how to build artillery, build ships, and train soldiers, and then they go to grab territory, and they want to grab wherever they go, and if they see people being bullied, they will make people lose their bones!" ”

"If you look at the small countries around you, just like Portugal, you ask the old people in Macau how Wang Hong treated them before Chen came and how Zhu Kun treated them...... That's either a big battle in Tuen Mun or killing them as widows! ”

Seeing Tang Juan's eyes full of horror and doubt, the donkey man was very pleased.

It's not in vain that Lao Tzu is talking nonsense!

Of course, in his heart, Chen Mu wants to apologize to the two deceased old men, the apology is not sincere, but the respect in his heart is very sincere, resist aggression and win, there is no doubt that it is a hero.

Even if the old men know about it, it is estimated that they will kick him twice in the ass in the dream, and they will not be really angry.

He decided to go back and set up a small temple for the two Wen Shuai in Haojing.

He stiffly turned, "Why am I good to Portugal?" What's the benefit of thinking about them, because we have cultural exchanges, this is the most important thing in my eyes, and now it's Spain's turn to do such a good thing, and you have to take advantage of the opportunity, huh? ”
