Chapter 998： offend

The envoys from the four countries broke up unhappily, but everyone became indifferent to Fan Zijin and began to find ways to please Qi Haoran's family.

Qi Haoran is always stationed in the military camp. They can't block people, but they can always block people when Mu Yangling takes the children out to play and send out valuable gifts.

At first, Mu Yangling refused to accept it. Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin both indicated that she would accept as much as she dared, and put them all into the treasury.

The envoys from the Four Kingdoms were busy trying to please the King Rongjun family, but they left Fan Zijin who received them seriously. Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong looked at him with some sympathy. Fan Zijin smiled at them with a cold light in his eyes, "They will later I will pay the price for today's stupid behavior, the emperor appointed me as the imperial decree to receive the envoy, and I should be in Guangzhou in two days."

So will the second uncle (second uncle) handle the negotiations with Shikoku in the future?

The eyes of the two of them looking at the envoy of the four countries were full of sympathy. The second uncle (second uncle) was never a generous person. This time, the envoy of the four kingdoms offended the second uncle (second uncle).

The imperial decree arrived in Guangzhou faster than Fan Zijin had estimated. Almost the day after Fan Zijin finished speaking, the guards who passed the decree entered Guangzhou House.

The envoys of the Shikoku who were busy trying to please Rongjun Wangfu to open the gap suddenly received the order to enter Beijing. Although they were a little surprised, they quickly accepted it. After all, they had confirmed the list of the number of people entering Beijing a few days ago.

Hearing that Fan Zijin accompanied them to Beijing, they didn't think much about it. They didn't know that Fan Zijin was solely responsible for their affairs until they met the emperor of Daqi in the capital of Daqi.

Four Kingdoms Messenger: "..."

I don't know if it's too late to please Fan Zijin again?

Fan Zijin still smiled when facing them, but it was even more difficult to speak. Almost every request they made, he either refused or asked them to be open to equality.

For example, if their goods enter Daqi, they must be exempt from tax, and then the goods of Daqi merchants should also be exempted from tax when entering their country.

This is simply impossible. Now Daqi's trade with Europe is already a deficit. Daqi's goods are very popular in their countries, but their country's goods, except for individual products such as spices and gems, are in Daqi. Without going to the road, what is even more embarrassing is that the glazed products and clocks of Daqi are more exquisite and advanced than theirs. The envoys of the four countries feel that they can already see the scene of a ship of gold and silver being transported to Daqi. How much wealth do they have to lose by exempting goods from Daqi?

The envoys of the four countries firmly disagreed, and in the end the two sides were deadlocked.

They can't stay in the capital for a long time, the price of the capital is too high, and they have given away a lot of treasures this time, they originally expected someone to support them and say more good things for them in front of the emperor, who knows what good things are said, but The emperor obviously did not pay attention to this matter, and left everything to Fan Zijin to handle.

Those officials have already done things for them, they can't get their things back, so they can only say goodbye to the officials in the capital and plan to go back to Guangzhou.

Thinking that Fan Zijin is also the prefect of Guangzhou, the same is true of going back to Guangzhou to talk.

The envoys of the four countries did not know that they sent the jewels to the mansion of the officials on their front feet, and the guards in the palace came to carry the things away on the back feet. Those officials did not even know what was in the box.

Qi Xiuyuan picked up a string of gemstone necklaces and pondered: "The country of Fanyi is also very rich."

Fan Zijin nodded, "It's a pity that the journey is long, and it takes more than three months for the boat alone."

"But they would run all the way to us to seize the land. How is Haoran's investigation?"

"There is already some news that the English came ashore in India to do business, and then they bought the small village they landed on, and then the small town. They became more and more powerful, and now they are directly occupying it with cannons and muskets. The four nearby towns and towns have a tendency to continue to expand." Fan Zijin said: "Haoran found out that there were people in India who opposed it, but before the English people took action, the local yamen sent troops to suppress it. It should be the English people who bribed the local people. officials."

Qi Xiuyuan pointed to the box on the ground, "Is it the same as this?"

Fan Zijin lowered his head.

"Leading wolves into the room, Indian officials are really dizzy, and I will never allow such a thing in Daqi."

Fan Zijin bowed his head and replied, "Spain and Portugal raised their flags as soon as they landed in Luzon, claiming that it was the territory of their empire. Although the two sides did not understand the language, they knew that the visitors were not good. People started fighting with them, but the Spanish and Portuguese had swords and muskets, and the Luzon tribes used sticks and iron hoes, so the war has been dragged on until now, and Spain and Portugal now occupy a lot of space. Alling said Whether it is England or Spain and Portugal, their behavior is called colonization, and the occupied land is called colony, which provides labor to produce products and resources for their own country.”

Qi Xiuyuan snorted coldly, "It seems that they definitely don't have good intentions towards me, Da Qi."

Fan Zijin nodded in agreement.

"Let Haoran send another batch of weapons to Lu Song. Since it is our vassal state, we have no reason to ignore it." Qi Xiuyuan's eyes flickered and he said, "Didn't you say that there are gold and silver mines in Lu Song? Haoran handles it as appropriate, if Portugal and Spain are aggressive, we can send some soldiers to reinforce it."

Fan Zijin understood and responded with a smile.

"Knowing that you won't suffer, I'll leave the discussion with the envoys of the four countries to you."

Fan Zijin responded.

Although the officials of the Sixth Department felt that something was wrong, they did not pay much attention to the matter of Fanyi. It was more important than the current autumn harvest and autumn tax and the water conservancy construction in the near future. Therefore, everyone turned a blind eye to Fan Zijin as his agent. The Rites returned to Guangzhou to deal with the Fanyi affair.

Qi Haoran got a message from Fan Zijin, and immediately called Zhou Zhou to give him a thousand people, and let him go to Luzon to support their vassal.

Zhou Zhou opened his mouth wide and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid the soldiers will not want to go to war."

They have no problem following the prince to fight the pirates. Those pirates robbed the people of Daqi. They deserve to be killed. They deserve to die in battle, but they went all the way to Luzon to fight, and they fought for Luzon. How many are there? would people want to?

At least he wasn't very happy in his heart.

"Do you think this king really asked you to die?" Qi Haoran glanced at him lightly, and pointed at the sea map: "You can stop interfering after you go, if the foreigners go too far or take the initiative to provoke you. , you should fight back to the master fiercely, it is regarded as a military training, and I will ask two officials of the Ministry of Industry to follow you, you must protect these two people," Qi Haoran looked into his eyes and said: "They are talents, talents who can detect gold and silver mines."
