Chapter 869

The atmosphere in the imperial study was a little awkward.

Brandon took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, 10 million ducats is beyond the reach of Amsterdam bank. After all, we have provided loans to many countries. "

" is that right? So how much can you offer? It is said that you have many large silver mines in South America. " Xiao Ming looks at Brandon.

"Indeed, your majesty seems to know us very well." Brandon was a little surprised, he said: "five million ducats, we can only provide so much now, after all, it is too dangerous to transport this batch of equivalent gold and silver from the Netherlands."

Xiao Ming was silent for a while. It was half as much as 300000 taels of gold and 3 million taels of silver.

After a pause, he continued: "but even so, we can't provide so much real gold and silver. According to my estimation, we can provide 1 million taels of silver and 30000 taels of gold, and the rest can only be replaced by niter, iron ore, rubber, sulfur and other materials. "

" let's do it! "Xiao Ming agreed that the most important issue for him now is to obtain funds to speed up domestic construction. If the Netherlands can continue to provide funds for him, the industrial and commercial development of Dayu will be faster.

Brandon breathed a sigh of relief, he said: "so your majesty is willing to provide escort for the Dutch caravan?"

"Of course, but this route is not from Malacca to Holland, but from here to here! "While speaking, Xiao Ming went to the map of the world and painted on the map from Ryukyu to Australia, and then from Europe to South America. This is one of the eight major sea routes of the contemporary era.

He chose this route not because he was afraid of the British fleet, but because he wanted to know about the route from Australia to South America through escort, so as to prepare for the future occupation of Australia and march into South America and North America. At the same time, it could also train the Navy's ocean going combat ability.

Brandon was stunned when he noticed the huge map of the world in the imperial study. To his surprise, the map marked the geographical location of the world in great detail.

”God, this is the greatest map I've ever seen. "Said brandona.

Xiao Ming waved his hand in front of Brandon to let him recover. He said: "there are eight routes on this map. The British control the first route. They control this route weakly. If you agree, I will send a fleet to escort you to a safe area. After all, you can only provide half of the loan, and I can only choose the easy one. "

Brandon showed up helplessly. It seems that he has no other choice. After all, it's really a route back. He said," well, now it's the only way. "

"You have to pay for the escort expenses. After all, I want to pay you the interest. Business is business, and you can't lose money." Xiao Ming added.

Brandon had thought of this for a long time. "It's natural, but in addition to escorting, we also want to deepen our business contacts with your country. We hope to purchase more goods from Chongqing, such as steam engines, bearings, sugar, cotton cloth, silk, and even firewares. "

" I have to say that your Dutch eyes are very poisonous. They are all treasures of the great Chongqing. " Xiao Ming was a little surprised, "and you seem to understand the power of firearms in the state of Dayu. "

to be honest, Brandon said," many people know about the war between Dayu and the northern nomads. Of course, they also know about some magical weapons in the battlefield. If your majesty is willing to sell them, we are willing to buy them. "

With a slight nod, he said, "of course, you can discuss this with Li Kaiyuan. He will tell you what you can sell and what you can't sell. However, if you want to buy these things, you need to prepare enough money. "

" yes, your majesty. " Brandon sighed a sigh of relief. He was very happy that this time, Chongqing seemed to be more open and more willing to participate in overseas trade.

He is both happy and worried about this phenomenon. He is happy that the Netherlands has such a strong partner in Asia, and worried that the sphere of influence of Dayu is beginning to expand overseas.

After deciding on the loan, Brandon and Xiao Ming discussed the details of their cooperation and left.

Seeing Brandon leave, Qian Dafu said with emotion: "emperor, this Holland is really rich. He took out so much gold and silver casually."

"That's not much. Brandon is very cunning. He is worried that we will default, so he only provides these loans. Even if we don't pay them back at that time, they won't lose too much. "Xiao Ming analyzed," but it doesn't matter. The real money making place this time is the trade with dutch businessmen. This time, he brought many big businessmen here. "

" does the emperor really intend to sell the industrial products such as Zhenglu firearm and steam engine to the Dutch? " Qian Dafu is worried.

"If you sell a firearm, the army of the state of Chongqing will be able to equip a rifle with a breech. I'm not happy to do that. Besides, I'm afraid that the firearm has long been in the hands of the Europeans. A few years later, I'm afraid they won't be surprised. As for the first generation of reciprocating steam engines, of course, we have to sell them. We can only study more advanced steam engines with money. "

Xiao Ming looks excited. Generally speaking, he supports the sale of these products, because at this time, the industrial capacity of Europe has been able to produce these things, and it doesn't make much sense to rot in his hands.Of course, he will never trade some core technologies, such as industrial master machine, breech gun technology and steam locomotive. He always keeps the principle of generation difference.

Here Brandon was relieved when he got out of the palace.

Businessmen who had been waiting outside for a long time immediately gathered around and asked him about the results of the audience.

"Thank God, the emperor of the state of Dayu showed amazing kindness this time, and the routes and trade were successful." Brandon laughed.

Other businessmen immediately excited, yesterday in Qingzhou around a thing they will be ready to buy, think of 7788, but for them this is not enough.

Because they believe that Dayu has other commodities waiting for them to dig.

A businessman said, "Mr. cloth, we should continue to play in Qingzhou for a few days so that we can confirm what else we need to buy."

Brandon nodded. He also wanted to try the feeling of riding the steam locomotive. He mentioned it when he left. The emperor of the state of Chongqing promised to meet him when the steam locomotive was put into trial operation.

For him, this is a complete temptation. He is also preparing to record his visit to Dayu, so that members of the Dutch Parliament can have a deeper understanding of Dayu.
