Chapter 1155： angry

Qi Haoran was still a little guilty when he came, but he was relieved when he saw that the elder brother was calm and didn't blame him.

Li Jinghua was amused, bit his ear with Mu Yangling and said, "Your eldest brother is also guilty. If the fourth uncle came to the door today, he would have forgotten that there is such a younger brother."

Mu Yangling pursed his lips and smiled, glanced at the two brothers who were living in peace, and went to watch the children play with Li Jinghua.

After the seventh day of the first lunar month, the yamen will be opened, and the six ministries will be busy with the beginning of the spring.

The    Ministry of Rites also received a notice to start preparations for the departure of the envoys from various countries, and the negotiation with the Spanish envoys was also put on the agenda.

Fan Zijin did not participate this time, he just checked Xiaobao and the others, and then left the matter to the Ministry of Housing to discuss, while Xiaobao, Xiaoxiong and Xiaoan watched.

It was not the first time for Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong to participate in political affairs, so they calmly entered the venue and found a good seat to sit down. It was the first time for Xiao An standing next to them, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

The imperial court selected two people from the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites to be the negotiating messengers. Xiaobao had already handed over the clauses they had drawn up to the four people one day in advance, hoping that they would take more of their opinions.

When the four of them were taking the task, they vaguely heard that the Crown Prince took the lead, and that the Crown Prince might come to listen, but they didn't expect the Crown Prince to come on the first day, and also bring Prince Rong and Prince An. coming.

The four officials immediately raised their heads and wanted to go home and take out the mirror to tidy up their appearance again.

Xiaobao was quite satisfied with their mental outlook, but this satisfaction disappeared after the negotiation at noon.

Little Treasure still has tolerance, but left with a cold face, while Little Bear stood up and gave them a vicious look, kicked the chair away, and strode out, and Xiao An who was behind gave them a cold look, His eyes were full of sarcasm.

The three of them walked out in a hurry, and met Qi Haoran head-on.

Qi Haoran was forcing the Ministry of Household to allocate money to buy cannons at Xishan Camp. He had been arguing about money all morning. At this time, he was dry and tongue-tied. child.

Qi Haoran then remembered that they were going to audit the negotiation with the Spanish envoy, and the meeting place was arranged in the Ministry of Housing.

Qi Haoran waved at the three children and said, "Are you hungry? This is not the palace. I don't have any snacks to eat with you. Let's go, I'll take you to the restaurant."

Xiaobao suppressed the anger on his face and silently followed behind his fourth uncle, while Xiaoxiong clenched his fists in anger and complained to his father as he walked: "...Andrei's conditions, although they did not agree to them, but they listened to them. In that tone, it is like a gift from a large package. Could it be that they really plan to accept Andre's proposal without paying back the price? The court has such an official, and they are not afraid to remove the treasury and the internal treasury."

Xiao An was also indignant, "One condition is not to care about its gains, losses and losses, but to accept it when he hears good words. If Daqi is run by such people, sooner or later, they will be tossed about by them."

Xiaoan glanced at Xiaobao and said, "They have to look at the prince's brother when they say a word, and those who don't know it think they are instructed by the prince's brother. I think they have no intention of negotiating at all, but go to please the prince's brother. ."

Xiao Bao's face was ugly, and Xiao An continued: "Brother Prince, if such people are not severely punished, I am afraid that there will be more people in the future, they are at best a crime of dereliction of duty, but the world blames their incompetence for your shortsightedness. And conspiracy, if you have such bad intentions, you might even think that you are forming a party for personal gain."

"Xiao An!" Qi Haoran gave him a disapproving look.

Xiao An said indifferently: "I'm not wrong, Fourth Uncle, if you don't believe me, just watch it. At most half a year, you can see if the DPRK and China will change because of this."

Xiao Xiong opened his mouth wide, he only said that he was simply angry that the four officials did not act, and let Andre say whatever he wanted, but it was not as deep as Xiao An could think.

He looked at Xiao An in shock, thinking that this kid is too smart, how could he think of this?

Qi Haoran has some headaches, Xiao An has Zijin's intelligence and perceptiveness, but not Zijin's scheming, these cleverness and perceptiveness have turned out to be bad things.

He opened his mouth, not knowing how to raise these concerns with a ten-year-old child, so he could only take them to the restaurant and carefully ask about the negotiation process.

In the end, it was the four officials who wanted to flatter, but they ended up slapping the horse’s leg.

The three children were digging holes for Andre and the others, but the four officials mistakenly thought that His Royal Highness the Prince wanted to cooperate with the Spanish envoy, so they opened the door wide. For the duty-free goods proposed by Andre, the four officials Although he didn't agree on the spot, he didn't object, and he didn't even mention his opinion.

Xiaobao and the others wanted to interject, but they were sitting in the auditorium at the time, so they were not the main force at first sight. At this time, their speeches must have been short-lived, and it would also make the other party aware of their internal discord.

The three of them could only suppress their anger, and when it was almost time, they interrupted their conversation, indicating that it was time for lunch, and everyone had to take a break, and the negotiation would continue next time.

Xiaobao, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up, and he said angrily, "I asked someone to hand over the sorted clauses to them yesterday, and as a result, there will still be such mistakes today. At first glance, I didn't take matters seriously. It's simply outrageous."

Xiaobao's words have wronged the four officials.

The things sent by the prince, even if they work overtime and stay up late, they will read it. They think they came according to the prince's intention, but why is he so angry?

The four officials looked at each other, "Did we misunderstand the meaning of the prince?"

"But the clauses clearly show that there is a lot of partiality towards foreigners, and we came here according to this meaning..."

"Yes, there are more than 20 kinds of goods that foreigners are allowed to be exempted from duty in the article, and there are only more than 10 kinds of duty-free goods proposed by us here. It is true that many of them are biased towards foreigners. Ordinarily, our attitude is not wrong..."

The four officials were confused, and Qi Haoran quickly understood the crux after reading the articles.

The three boys wanted to dig a hole for Andre and the others, so naturally they couldn't tell the world clearly. Who knows if they could bribe the officials in Daqi?

Therefore, some thoughts can only be known by oneself, but not by others.

The three families had a tacit agreement on the matter of pitting foreigners, but the officials in the DPRK did not know it.

In the    clause, there are 28 kinds of goods that are allowed to be exempted in Spain, mostly various raw materials, while there are only 13 kinds of duty-free shops in Daqi, mostly handicrafts, including clocks and mirrors produced by their own workshops.

Only from the point of view of the entry, it does seem that the prince is protecting Spain. After all, not everyone can see the deep meaning of these entries.

If it wasn't for Mu Yangling and Fan Zijin's advice, Qi Haoran wouldn't understand.

Qi Haoran knocked on the table, but the four colleagues were so eager to please the prince, which also displeased him.

As messengers, they went to negotiate, not to be Xiaobao's answerers, or to be four answerers who can't think. It's simply stupid.
