"Why?" Abbota was anxious when he heard this.

The tariffs have not been reduced, and the Ming Maritime Patrol Division has two brushes, and the cost of smuggling is also a bit large.

And the domestic aristocratic lords also like the three treasures of the Ming Dynasty very much, as if they could not show their noble status without silk, porcelain and tea.

I originally wanted to take a step forward to see a business and continue to do it first, and then discuss the tariff with the governor when I go back, but the prince in front of me directly said that the business would not be done!

Is this still worth it?

It was not easy to come from Nanyang, and I thought that it would be a credit to talk about the tariff, and maybe I could count on this promotion and salary increase.

Even if he can't talk about it, he will go back and tell the governor directly, anyway, the envoys of other countries have not negotiated like him, and he is not guilty.

But now it's different, the tariff reduction has not been negotiated, and the Ming Dynasty has not directly stopped doing business with you, how is this good, how can I explain to the Governor when I go back?

"Yes, Your Highness, what crime have we committed? Even if there is something inappropriate between the words just now, it will not lose the friendship between the two countries!

It is good for us to have communication between the two countries, and besides...... Da Ming actually took advantage of it. "Anthony, the envoy of the Great Franc Country, is also in a hurry.

He didn't care about the trade deficit now, if he lost the huge market of the Great Ming Kingdom, he was worried that the Governor would go crazy, and the Governor would definitely make him crazy before he went crazy.

The Great Franc Kingdom was weak and had just become independent from the country, and João IV made great efforts to revitalize the Great Franc Machine, and the colonies of the South Seas and the markets of the Ming Dynasty were the two most important places for His Majesty the Emperor in Asia.

"My Ming Dynasty's Ryukyu and Trench Mirror Ao have also been occupied by your country for a long time, business can be done, but please return the island first and then talk!" Liu Hongjian said very calmly.

He didn't believe that these colonists of Europa dared to make a move against China three hundred years in advance, anyway, he had already finished pretending to be forced just now, so add some vinegar!

The Dutch occupation of the Ryukyus Liu Hong gradually said nothing, after all, the strength of the Dutch State is there, and people are snatched from Zheng Zhilong and Daming by strength.

About a hundred years ago, a group of merchants (actually appointed by the royal family) begged to dry in Trench Mirror Ao on the grounds that their goods were wet due to storms in the South Seas.

The Ming Shouao official kindly agreed, but this group of bird merchants did not leave, and bribed Wang Bai, the deputy envoy of Haidao, with a lot of money, and finally negotiated at a price of five hundred taels of silver.

Even if Wang Bai is transferred, the Franco merchant will still give the newly appointed deputy envoy of the sea channel silver, after all, the salary of the Ming officials is low, and the deputy envoy of the sea channel is a six-grade official, and the monthly salary is only ten taels, and the income of more than five hundred taels a year is still very considerable.

The officials who took over didn't think the money was hot, and the big Franc machine man has been staying here since then, and the trench mirror is actually controlled by the big Franc man.

At the beginning, the big Franc machine people were only for ship trade, and built a thatched tent to live, but in less than ten years, the number of big Franc machines in Ho Jing O has increased greatly, so that thousands of rooms have been built, and the number of people has reached 10,000.

However, the Ming Dynasty never leased the Trench to the Great Fur Machine, nor did it officially agree to the Fat Rang Machine's residence in Howjing Ao.

The reason why the imperial court did not react was because the master of the Ming Dynasty at that time was Zhu Houzhao, the famous Emperor of Ming Wuzong Zhengde in history.

To put it bluntly, the big Francois is a thick-skinned and leprosy dog, and he treats himself as an outsider.

As a later generation, Liu Hongjian naturally knew about the various efforts made by China to recover the old land, which was really not easy, and Macau was occupied by the Portuguese for nearly 500 years.

Sun Monkey has only been suppressed by Wuzhi Mountain for 500 years, it seems that if this kind of leper dog is not gradually encountered by him Liu Hong, it will be just that, since it has been encountered, it naturally cannot be tolerated.

"Uh......" Anthony's mustache twitched at the corner of his mouth, as if he remembered something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

There are now more than 10,000 people in Haojing Ao, even more than the number of Da Ming people, and the big Fu Lang people have been operating in Hao Jing Ao for nearly 100 years, and the architectural style and folk culture here are full of the taste of Da Fu Lang Ji country.

Anthony really didn't know how to answer Liu Hongji's question, but there is no doubt that Anthony thinks that Hao Jingao is their big franc.

"Your Highness, I have only come to negotiate the tariff, and as for the Ryukyus, with all due respect, the Governor has not given me the authority to deal with this matter, and even the Governor will have a hard time ......," Abbota said again.

Ryukyu was an important base for the Netherlands in the South Seas, with the magnificent and fortified castle of Geranza built on it, and a governor in charge of the trade of the South Seas.

This is so important to the Dutch Nation that Alberta wants to say that even the Governor does not have this power, which is completely impossible.

"This king understands, then we have nothing to talk about, goodbye, everyone!" Liu Hong gradually finished speaking, and did not stop, and directly got up and walked out of the yamen of Honglu Temple.

Sooner or later, one day Lao Tzu will drive a battleship to snatch back Hao Jingao and Ryukyu, Liu Hong gradually said in his heart.

Five hundred taels gave away such a large piece of land, what is the difference between this and the Rakshasa country woolly bear selling Alaska to the United States, just one is greedy for money and the other is short-sighted.

As for the matter of trade with Da Francois and the Netherlands, it is just that Liu Hong is gradually trying to speak strongly, and if there is money to earn, the court and Huang Dacang will not care which country it is.

After all, Hao Jingao is too small for Daming, so small that he doesn't necessarily know where this place is when he tells Zhu Cihong.

Although Ryukyu is large, the imperial court has neglected to manage this place for 300 years, and few Han people are willing to stay away from their homeland across the strait.

But the Netherlands, as a coachman at sea, is currently the most powerful country at sea.

It's too late, I'll make up for it later.

PS: Hao Jing Macao, the old name of the Ming Dynasty, refers to Macau.

PS: The little Franc refers to Spain, the Big Franc refers to Portugal, in 1580 King Philip II of Spain annexed the Kingdom of Portugal, and since then Portugal has fallen into the hands of the Habsburgs.

In the Thirty Years' War in Europe, Spain's Armada was routed by the Dutch and the French army was routed by France, and Portugal became independent.

Oh, by the way, Portugal and Spain were a county in the Middle Ages in Europe, and in 1143 Portugal became independent from the Kingdom of Colora, with its capital at Lisbon, and the Kingdom of Castile was the predecessor of Spain, both of which were once maritime powers.

When Portugal first became independent, Spain did not recognize it, and the two sides fought for more than 300 years, and Spain was not evenly settled until 1640, when the Spanish royal family was forced to recognize its independence.
