Deng Jian talked about his difficulties, but he gushed endlessly, as if he had suddenly become a wronged leader, and people all over the world were cheating on him.

Subsidize food, subsidize firearms, and say that now ships come and go, and there is no one who does not carry food to bring firearms.

After all, for sea ships, the carrying capacity is large, you can't fill a ship full of treasures, so the grain is to avoid taxes, and then buy firearms at a low price, it seems that this firearm can't be rowed, but the real profit is not in firearms, and firearms are cheap, and silk, porcelain is scarce after all, it is impossible to fill the warehouse, rather than transport ballast back, it is better to bring some firearms back, at least to earn back the ship's money.

Therefore, the pacification envoy has a huge loss in the trade of grain and firearms, but it is a huge profit in the trade of silk, porcelain, tea, and jade, and as for other general commodities, it relies on quantity in exchange for profits, such as Songjiang cloth, the annual trading volume has reached more than 300,000 horses, in addition, there are sea ships, textile machines, and so on. Recently, there has been a new horse lantern, and glass has begun to become a new profit point for maritime trade.

Although the glass technology is the most exquisite in Italy, but the Italian manufacturing technology has been in strict secrecy, and now the glass of the Ming Dynasty has begun to become popular, so that the glass production in Italy has also been impacted, after all, one side is a large-scale production, and the other side is still in the traditional manual production, plus the Ming side recruited some glass-making artists at a high price, so that the Spaniards and Portuguese even went to the island where the glass was made, digging people around.

Because there are regulations for pacification envoys by sea, anyone who urgently needs craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty can get a reward if they can bring them.

In order to get a reward, many businessmen in the Francophone to pull people around, in this money-based era, a qiē morality is hypocritical, now in the Franco, has derived a lot of headhunters for a living, but where the Ming Dynasty needs to find the talent, often will be lured to it, if the lure does not work, and even collude with some local lawbreakers, to take coercive means.

In addition, in the Franco, the Ming Dynasty gives people the impression that it is the country of gold, which makes people feel that everyone uses porcelain, everyone eats expensive tea, everyone wears silk, that is, the house, is decorated with a large amount of gold and silver, everyone lives a good life, as if in heaven, this kind of saying, to falsehood, so that the Francois people are proud to be able to go to the Ming Dynasty, and everyone is envious of the sailors who can sail out to sea to enjoy the scenery of the Ming Dynasty.

But those so-called sailors, where can ordinary people get in touch with the real Ming Dynasty, their footprints, at most, limited to Macao, Shuangyu Port area, only those who have obtained the approval of the sea pacification envoy can set foot on that legendary dreamlike continent, but even if these people have not really appreciated the scenery of the Ming Dynasty, but they are still happy to blow the wealth of the Ming Dynasty after returning to the voyage.

In fact, this is a very normal psychology, people always hope that there is a paradise-like paradise in this world, which is just like the scholars of the past dynasties have always said that the three emperors and five emperors must be called, because it is the heavenly kingdom and the center of civilization, so it is impossible for everyone to have any emperors outside the territory. Then push the world in his imagination to the other extreme, there are hungry people in reality, so there must be no three emperors and five emperors, there are faint kings in reality, and there are naturally no three emperors and five emperors, there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials in reality, and everyone is as honest as Bao Zheng when there are three emperors and five emperors.

This kind of lustful heart is a common hobby of human beings, and the same is true of the Francois people, in this dark continent, there is too much oppression and inequality, and people urgently need to imagine a paradise on earth, and the Ming Dynasty just meets this condition.

So, a group of people flickered and boarded a steady stream of ships bound for the Far East, where there were missionaries, artists, and many, craftsmen of all kinds.

Of course, according to the regulations of Shuangyu Port, missionaries do not want to obtain permission to go ashore, but all kinds of craftsmen, as long as they pass the inspection, can often go ashore to live.

The pimp's business is obviously doing quite well, but this is another lot of money for Deng Jian.

He poured bitter water on him, leaving several prefecture officials dumbfounded, but they also had some knowledge of the sea route pacification envoys and overseas vassals.

In the end, Deng Jian solemnly said to them: "Everyone, this official will have something to do later, you can take a walk around the island casually, but if you meet those liars who are full of God, you must be careful, these guys can't go to Tianjin and Ningbo, one by one they rely on the islands of Zhoushan, and when they meet people, they go around saying that God is better than the Bodhisattva, you are officials, you can't be deceived by them." ”

Sent these people away.

Deng Jian's brows furrowed.

Life seems to be getting worse and worse, it stands to reason that Nanzhili and Fujian's new policy are good things, but it may not be good for the sea route to appease the envoys, but I am afraid that there will be another amount of silver to be pasted in, and the amount is huge.

There is also the problem of Nanyang, which seems to be entangled, it seems that it is time to solve it, what does the sea route pacify the envoy rely on to earn silver, it is nothing more than to monopolize the trade of the entire Ming Dynasty. However, it is obvious that the Franc machine people want to follow the example of the sea route pacification envoy and want to monopolize the trade between Nanyang and the Franc machine, and the advantage of the sea route pacification envoy is that they control the supply of goods, while the buyers are a plate of loose sand, so the price is the final word of the sea route pacification envoy. However, once the Francois blocked the shipping lanes everywhere and became a monopoly group of second-way dealers, then in the future, the sea route pacification envoy will no longer deal with merchants from various countries, but will bargain with a group of robbers from Franco.

This is definitely not a good thing, if there are only two people left in the sale, one controlling the source of goods, and the other controlling the supply of rare goods such as agate, spices, and ivory, then in the end, the sea route pacification envoy may even have to make concessions to it.

The ocean is a treasure, but it can't accommodate two tigers, Deng Jian knows this very well, he pondered for a moment, and then called a secretary to come and ordered: "Prepare to write a letter, this official reads, you write it."

The clerk nodded his head and said, "Yes, my lord." ”

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the city of Hangzhou, the business of Yuelai Inn has always been good, the cars and horses here are like dragons, and the decoration is also magnificent, so it has become a place for many businessmen to stay.

And a few months ago, a strange group of guests came here.

This group of guests is blond and blue-eyed, and they speak awkward Chinese, and it is difficult to communicate with them without listening carefully. And they live in seclusion, sometimes, they will go out for more than ten days, and when they come back, they will stay for a few days, and then go out again.

Since the appearance of these guys, the patrols of Hangzhou Mansion seem to pay special attention to this place, and there are even many people who look wrong here, often coming and going here, they are in good shape, their faces are gloomy, and their movements are also in a hurry.

The shopkeeper is already very dissatisfied with these visitors here, not that they are stingy, not that they can't afford to pay for the room, and even after these people are used to dining or instructing Xiao Er to do things, they are very generous to take out money to reward, but the appearance of these people, among many businessmen, seems to circulate a lot of gossip, so that many former customers refuse to come.

Jin Yiwei has been keeping an eye on these people, and the patrol is also paying special attention to them, who else is willing to live in this inn? Although people are eyeing these Francophone people, but who knows that they will accidentally explore their secrets, people have secrets, and they don't want to attract people's attention, so everyone is naturally discouraged by this Yuelai Inn.

And today, there was a quarrel in the guest room.

"This is hostility, it is a provocation, once they allow the restoration of the seaport in Quanzhou, our losses will be incalculable, we must stop, we must stop them, and the possibility of using force cannot be ruled out."

"It's just... We must also look to negotiations. ”

"They obviously have not given us room to negotiate, otherwise why would they not have received us until now, the prince of Luzon, who has been treated like a guest by them, it is evident that this is a long-planned act of hostility, and I think that we should immediately inform His Highness and His Excellency the Governor, that they may prepare for the worst. Our fleet should come to Holmes at once, and they must feel our wrath, so that they will know how to do it in moderation, and not hurt us again and again, to our interests. ”

"But I think we still need to make one last effort."

"Then I write my letter, you do your best to do it, you still still don't understand the severity of the shape, the kingdom in order to get a piece of the Ming trade, in Sherlock Holmes has accumulated a lot of strength, we have built a port, we have built a warehouse, and even we have bribed one local after another with a lot of money, but once Quanzhou establishes a port, then, our investment in Sherlock Holmes will be completely wiped out, this is our strictest warning, Their actions have shown their attitude, there is nothing to negotiate with, but fortunately the kingdom has sent an expeditionary fleet to Luzon with the expeditionary force before this, with the aim of clarifying the shipping lanes on which we depend, and now they are our bargaining chips. ”…………………………………………………………………………
