Chapter 983： don't let

"They don't have to go to Shangguo, and they can still get rewards. They are naturally willing." Mu Yangling said, as for psychologically, as Fan Zijin said, the countries around China have always had a tradition of being sealed by Shangguo, um, as for Shangguo , of course, is their great motherland, no matter how the dynasties change, the Central Plains has always been at the forefront of the world.

Qi Haoran knocked on the table and said to Xiaobao: "This reason is indeed good. After you go back, you can write to your royal father to persuade him."

Seeing that Xiaobao didn't move, he asked, "What else?"

"Fourth uncle, that Mrs. Anna doesn't seem to like the fourth aunt very much, and the other foreign wives are talking privately that it is because our Daqi goods are very popular in their countries, and because the port is open, not only their businessmen, but also There are also many merchants in our Daqi voyage to sell goods near their country, but the goods they get from other places in England are unsalable. I heard that her family's business has also been affected, and England has occupied India two years ago. A place to do business," Xiaobao said: "I think she is so unfriendly to the fourth aunt, does it mean that the officials representing England also dislike our Daqi?"

Qi Haoran raised his eyebrows, "So."

"So we really don't need to be too kind to her and the English businessman. Didn't Uncle Fan also say that if there is difference, there will be competition, and if there is competition, it will be profitable?"

Fan Zijin laughed and scolded: "You brat remembers it clearly, you just need to take care of Lu Song's affairs now, you need to eat every bite of food, and you have to do things one by one. It seems to be in a hurry for quick success. Okay, you and Xiaoxiong go down and arrange this matter, and the Huang Ren brothers and sisters and the merchant Tan have settled down. After all, they have taken care of you and Wen Su, you can go see them tomorrow. "

Xiaobao responded and exited with Xiaoxiong.

Fan Zijin and the others left before asking, "What if Lu Song and the imperial court invite troops?"

"I have a long coastline in Daqi, and there are not enough soldiers. It is impossible to send troops. It is okay to support some knives and guns." Qi Haoran said very single: "We will talk about it later, whether to send troops is not a matter of our words. ?"

Mu Yangling coughed lightly and said, "I heard that there are Han people immigrating in the Nanyang area, and there should be some in Luzon. In fact, it is not impossible for us to send troops out to support."

Qi Haoran frowned, "A Ling, you are too kind..."

"I heard that there are gold mines in Luzon." Mu Yangling said lightly.

Qi Haoran immediately changed his tune, "Kindness is a virtue, and we should carry it forward."

Fan Zijin nodded in deep thought.

"In addition to gold mines, they are also rich in natural resources. We can communicate with each other and make progress together." Mu Yangling found a lofty reason.

Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin nodded again and again, but instead asked, "Who did you hear that there are gold mines in Luzon?"

Mu Yangling spit out two words slowly, "Guess."

Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin's expressions suddenly became strange, and Mu Yangling took a pen and circled a few times on the chart, saying, "Spanish and Portuguese have always wanted these places, and if there is no benefit, they will put so much effort into it. From all the way to occupy a piece of wasteland? Even if there is no gold mine on it, gold can still be produced. If we take a long-term view, are we afraid that we won’t be able to make money?”

Qi Haoran touched his chin and said, "Maybe we have to ask a few people from the Ministry of Industry who understand mining. If there are gold and silver mines, can we take them to the island for a walk? And as A Ling said, even if There are no gold mines on it, and these places should be very important, otherwise, why do they not occupy other places and just stare at these places?"

Fan Zijin stared at the chart for a while, then hesitantly pointed to two places and said, "These two seem to be natural ports, Haoran, do you remember Andre told us about the place to stop the ship?"

"Remember, it's a small village not far from the Guangzhou port. There are not even a hundred households in it. What is it called Haojingao? No matter how small the village is, it is my land in Daqi. How can it be used by him? If they refuse, they can buy a house or rent a house in Guangzhou if they want to settle the crew.”

Mu Yangling didn't hear Qi Haoran say this. Hearing this, he sat up straight, repeated the word "Haojingao" several times, looked at the map again, and suddenly said with a strange expression: "Macao?"

"What door?" Qi Haoran didn't hear much, turned his head and asked Mu Yangling.

Mu Yangling shook his head slightly and said, "You're right if you don't give it, they are simply wolf ambitions."

Fan Zijin touched his chin and said, "If the price they pay is high enough, it's not impossible for them to settle in a small village."

"No," Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling objected in unison. Qi Haoran was sensitive to land sovereignty and felt that as long as it was Daqi's land, he would not allow an inch of it. Mu Yangling knew that Macao had a good terrain and was a natural port. Good profits are huge. Besides, as Haoran said, every inch of this land is a big one. Even if you rent it, you can't rent out the sovereignty. What's the difference between selling the country and selling it.

Fan Zijin stared at the two of them with wide eyes, and said, "That's a broken fishing village, is it necessary to be so excited?"

"Poyu Village is also my land." The couple said in unison.

Mu Yangling said with a stern face: "This is their conspiracy. Haojingao and Guangzhou are separated by a bay. If they are allowed to occupy Haojingao, it will provide them with a foothold to attack Daqi."

Now Qi Haoran is not happy, "Portugal and Spain dare to attack me Daqi from far away? I can drown them with a single spit."

Mu Yangling sneered: "Is there not many people in Luzon? Are Portugal and Spain not far from Luzon? Do you think Luzon can drown the invading army now? Not only can they not drown them with saliva, but they didn't chase people away with knives. If we leave, we will be losing ground, otherwise we need to discuss before giving Lu Song a seal and bestowing weapons?"

"That's because they are incompetent." Qi Haoran exclaimed.

"How can we know that we don't have such an incompetent day in Daqi? We can't count on future generations, we can only try our best to leave a pure land for them," Mu Yangling looked at Fan Zijin seriously, "Zijin, you are the prefect, this leased and sold land It's your government's business, I hope you can leave a message for your successors, no matter who will be the prefect in the future, not an inch of land will be allowed out."

Although Qi Haoran doesn't agree with Mu Yangling's views on future generations, he still supports her point of view, "Yes, not an inch of land is allowed to be given up, and if they don't expect them to expand their territory, how dare they give up the land? If you enter the coffin, you can jump out and settle accounts with them."

Fan Zijin twitched the corners of his mouth and nodded, "I see."

Sure enough, I don't mention it anymore.
