Chapter 938

A chill was blowing through the Royal Garden in the breeze, and Schroeder could not help shivering.

This time, he felt nervous in front of the great Yu emperor, because he found that he could not use his knowledge to guess what the emperor was thinking.

”I can promise that on behalf of his majesty. "Cried Schroeder.

Before he came to Dayu, he got the bottom line of the deal from Felix II. In fact, because Prussia and Dayu are too far apart, and the cooperation between them can not endanger each other, it will only be beneficial.

"That's good. "Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun look at each other like foxes eating chicken. Schroeder obviously doesn't realize the trap.

The money of Dayu is money in Dayu, which can buy things. But in Prussia, it is waste paper, and Prussians may not accept it. Therefore, this characteristic will make Prussia at a disadvantage in trade.

They have to buy the goods of Dayu country with the currency of Dayu country, which comes from selling their own goods. In this way, Dayu country only needs to buy the resources of Prussia at a low price and sell industrial products at a high price to maintain a high trade surplus.

After negotiating the first step of cooperation, Schroeder became more courageous. He said directly, "we want to get the firearms manufacturing technology and steam engine technology of Dayu. I hope your majesty can complete it? "

as soon as Schroeder's words fell, the officials were not happy at first. They whispered one by one, obviously dissatisfied with Prussian greed.

Xiao Ming took a sip of tea, and his smile grew stronger.

He understood that the changes that had taken place in Dayu now could not be covered up, whether it was railways, steam locomotives or bicycles, factories with roaring steam engines, warships driven by steam engines, or weapons carried by soldiers.

Anyone from other countries can see and understand these as long as they enter the state of Dayu. After all, there are already western businessmen living in Dengzhou.

From the newspapers, it is easy for the people of Dayu to get relevant information.

But these things are the foundation of the prosperity of Dayu. How can he give the technology he is using to the Prussians.

Even if he believed in Prussians' sincerity, once technology arrived in Europe, it would be easy for others to steal it.

And the most important thing is that once the Prussians have learned the technology, they will no longer need the state of Dayu. It is a truth that the disciples of the church starve to death.

At that time, what can he take to clamp down on the powerful Prussia?

Therefore, he denied Schroeder's proposal for the first time. For him, the best way is to let Prussia buy ready-made industrial products from Dayu and cultivate a group of Prussian compradors in Prussia.

Thinking of this, he frowned and shook his head firmly. "Ambassador Schroeder, your requirement is too harsh. I can't agree with you. Whether it's shotgun manufacturing technology or steam engine technology, it's the foundation of great Chongqing."

Schroeder's eyes darkened when he heard the speech. Of course, he knew that his request was too much, but negotiations always started at a high price and then slowly.

"It's a pity. What does your majesty mean? "

" like the Dutch, we are willing to sell firearms, steam engines and other industrial products to your country. "Xiao Ming said faintly, regardless of whether the Prussians can crack the gun and steam engine technology, he has to earn the first sum of money.

"Including steam locomotives and warships?" Schroeder asked tentatively.

"No, this is the advanced technology of Dayu state, which is not in the scope of the transaction." Xiao Ming's tone is a little harsh.

Schroeder nodded. Now he has a problem. What Dayu sold them is not the most advanced technology. Although it's a pity, it's better for him than nothing.

"Well, I hope your majesty can give us a detailed purchase list for us to choose from." Schroeder finally said.

At this time, Xiao Ming motioned to Li Kaiyuan. Li Kaiyuan came to Schroeder with a pamphlet. With the cooperation of the translator, he began to bargain with Schroeder.

Pang Yukun then shook his head, "emperor, is Prussia really reliable?"

"there are only interests between countries, which are not reliable. Now we need Prussia to create chaos in Europe, so we will help him. If Prussia is strong in a few years, we will try to repair him. Maybe France will make our country prosperous at that time Now that you are an ally, international affairs are ever-changing. You, as a cabinet assistant, need to be more flexible. Now domestic affairs need to be handled, as well as these foreign affairs. "Xiao Ming is right.

Pang Yukun's old face is red. What did he think of a scholar like to come to these Western barbarians one day? It's just that the situation in Tai Yu country is so fast that he sometimes can't keep up with it.

The discussion between Schroeder and Li Kaiyuan lasted for more than ten minutes, and then Li Kaiyuan gave Xiao Ming the brochure with the industrial products Schroeder wanted to buy.

The first generation of reciprocating steam engines in the state of Dayu consisted of 100 sets, 10000 requisition rifles, 60 field guns and some ammunition.In addition to these important industrial products, Schroeder bought some special products of Chongqing, such as tea, porcelain, silk and so on.

After turning his eyes, Xiao Ming handed the booklet to Li Kaiyuan. It was obvious that Schroeder was careful and purposeful in his purchase.

However, from this point, he can see how much Europe loves tea and porcelain, which are the traditional commodities of Dayu, because they also account for a major share in the trade between the Dutch and Dayu.

However, he believes that with the improvement of the industrial level of Dayu, Europe will buy more and more Dayu industrial products. After all, the industrial gap is not too big.

Once the power revolution begins, Dayu will be able to take the lead in technology.

"Sure." Xiao Ming said in a loud voice.

Schroeder showed a smile. Although the trade scale is small, it is a big step for Prussia.

For him, he is not so confident about the state of Dayu, but even so, he has made up his mind to continue to maintain a good relationship with Dayu.

At the same time, he secretly vowed in his heart that he must find a way to get the most advanced technology from Dayu, even if the exchange condition is to let Prussia attack France.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Dear sire, in order to maintain the friendship between Prussia and Dayu, I implore your majesty to leave a permanent envoy in your country so that you can exchange the matters between the two countries at any time. I hope your majesty can make it. "

Xiao Ming nodded. He thought it was time to normalize foreign affairs, so he said," in that case, I will allow you to buy a piece of land, and the buildings built on this land are called embassies. “
