Chapter 773 Gold and Silver
Zhu Xu likes such an ambitious woman, and Ankaya will bring him endless benefits.
Looking at her calmly, Zhu Xu said for a while, "The ship and the fleet are fine. I hope you can fulfill your promise."
Ankaya stood up, bowed deeply to Zhu Xu, and said, "Of course, I will never disappoint your respected Majesty."
Zhu Xu smiled and looked at Akunia.
Akunya, the Philippine governor, is now covered in sweat. If Mingguo promises Ankaya, his value will be reduced sharply.
His eyes flashed quickly, he looked up at Zhu Xu and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what I can bring for you will definitely not be less than Ankaya!" Akunya was really anxious. If this continues, he might die!
With Ankaya, this Acunia has made Zhu Xu lose interest, but he does need to have a "friendship" with Spain for the time being. The Ming warship and merchant ships left Malacca and needed a stable environment. Spain cannot become an unstable factor, so this governor will be useful.
Akunia really made Zhu Xu uninterested. Zhu Xu looked at him and said lightly: "I have a lot to discuss with the Governor. Come and tell Xiong Wencan."
Of course, a treaty was signed, but Spain did not have the treatment of the Dutch, and their treaty was destined to be much more severe.
In the evening, Akunia finally signed the letter.
Spain has the power to continue trade in East Asia. In addition to obtaining approvals, flags, and transit taxes from the Ming Dynasty. Each ship is 100 taels of silver when entering and leaving Malacca! And the trade center in the Far East is in the Jinyin Village of the Ming Dynasty, and no weapons are allowed to abide by the Ming Dynasty's commercial regulations, etc.
Another thing is that Akunia, like Putmans, cannot leave the Ming Dynasty within three years!
Zhu Xu didn't know whether Akunia would have any idea of trade in East Asia, but now he is important to save his life. He has to grit his teeth and recognize the treaty even if it is harsh and will talk about it in the future.
The Spanish affairs were finished, and Zhu Xu's purpose in the south was achieved. He set up the frame from the highest point, and the following was to slowly fill and digest it at the cabinet and people at all levels.
Two more days later, Zhu Xu finished everything and took five thousand men and turned around to head north.
His goal this time is very direct, and he is also the last Shaanxi and Xi!
Sitting in the carriage, heading north along the official road.
After several years of construction, there were basically cement roads between each province in the Ming Dynasty, which were wide, thick, and fearless of rain.
Zhu Xu's carriage was huge, and Cao Huachun sat next to him, both of them shaking gently.
Cao Bianjiao stayed in Fujian. He was forming a joint fleet. He has now been promoted to general and wants to command a joint fleet of 10,000 people. He is probably going to wander on the sea for a long time.
After walking for a while, Cao Huachun said to Zhu Xu, "Emperor, Wu Chang, Nanchang and other areas, the Taihu Lake has soared, and the road is blocked. If you go west, it will be difficult to walk on the road. If you go east, you will be afraid that it will not be easy to cross the river."
Zhu Xu nodded slightly. Several typhoons have formed a heavy flood. Now I pray that the Yangtze River will not burst the dam, otherwise it would not be a heavy flood, and that would be a country of water!
After thinking about it, Zhu Xu said, "Let's go slowly. It's best to go back at the end of the year. If you can't, you have to go back after the New Year."
Cao Huachun responded and stopped talking.
The capital is not peaceful now. The cabinet and the six ministries are hidden and the storm is in secret.
The due date of Empress Li in the palace was around the New Year and after the New Year. The palace was busy choosing concubines. No matter what, the emperor was indispensable for treating the emperor, but the emperor was not in the capital.
Jinyin Village, Nanzhili.
Jinyin Village is a Songjiang Mansion that was drawn along the seaside. It was originally quite desolate and had few people.
After Bumubutai arrived, he allocated the staff sent by the Ministry of Industry to dig ports, build wharfs, and build roads, and did the basic work very beautifully.
Then she began to plan and build buildings, shops, restaurants, etc. along the road. She didn't care about money at all, mobilized nearly 30,000 people to build a large-scale construction here.
The hard work for several months was not unpaid. Now the dock is full of ships from all over the world, and the buildings, shops and restaurants were soon rented out. Thousands of people are already coming and going here, which is very lively.
There were relatively few people from the Ming Dynasty. The envoys, merchants and whites from all around the country and regions, especially the Portuguese and Spanish in Australia, moved here one after another, with the largest number of people.
Every businessman went to and from the "Akabashi Trading Company" where Bumubutai was located, and she asked her to nod herself, and she was busy with no chance to breathe.
In the Akaba Trading Company, a tall middle-aged man with strange clothes and poor speaking spoken loudly said to Bumubutai excitedly, "Shopkeeper Zhu, everything is troubled! As long as the goods arrive, I will pay you another 10% of the commission!"
Bumu Butai's pseudonym was Zhu Chen's family. He nodded lightly when he heard this and said, "The cannons and muskets are heavy and difficult to move. It will take at least one month to transport them from the capital. Manager Li still has time to rent a boat."
"Of course..." The 'Shopkeeper Li's face was flushed. He was a businessman from Burma. This time he came here without telling the situation in China and was entrusted by someone with strength.
This is not the first time Bumubutai saw this, and she didn't care and said, "You can exchange Jingzheng Tongbao at the Royal Money House, and then give me a 30% deposit, and then wait here with peace of mind."
"Okay, then I'll wait for news from Manager Zhu!" This "Manager Li" was not worried at all, because the woman in front of him was too powerful. He had a piece of goods detained in the customs before, and he had no choice but to ask for it. After someone's guidance, he was released in just three days! Although it had paid a little price, it was completely enough! If he could join the line with such a person with background in the Ming Dynasty, his business would be extremely smooth in the future, so he didn't bargain this time. He asked for thirty cannons at one go!
Bumu Butai's face was always deserted and calm, and he was kind enough to send away this "Shopkeeper Li".
"Shopkeeper Li" left with excitement. In addition to completing the tasks assigned by the big shot, he could also make a fortune from it. The most important thing is that he opened the way in the Ming Dynasty and will not lack opportunities to make money in the future!
Bumubutai watched him leave, sat down and took out the abacus, calculating, and recording from time to time with a pen.
Su Malagu, who changed his name to Su Moer, brought a bowl of bird's nest, looked at Bumubutai's tired side face, and whispered: "Empress, take a break, don't forget, you are pregnant."
Bumubutai stood up, looked down at his lower abdomen, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
After three months of this, she had already looked like she could clearly feel it. As she stroked her, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but gently curl up.
Su Mo'er looked at the smile on the corner of Bumubutai's mouth and chuckled on her face. She hadn't seen Bumubutai smile for a long time.
"Madam, Madam..."
Suddenly, an extremely frivolous and unconcealed swaying sound came outside, and then a series of dense steps came straight to Bumubutai's class room.
Su Mo'er frowned and said coldly, "Empress, why don't I let someone throw him into the sea?"
Jinyin Village has a small naval base with 3,000 people. The dispatch power is in the hands of Bumubutai, which is specially used to manage the order of Jinyin Village.
Bumu Butai looked motionless, and stopped while touching his lower abdomen, looked up at Su Mo'er and said, "What did you say last time? Their family is a kiln-making family in Jiangxi?"
Su Mo'er was slightly stunned and said, "Yes, I heard that even the old concubine liked the blue and white porcelain they burned. She sent three to the palace every year. The emperor also rewarded their family with a plaque, which praised a lot, so few people dared to mess with it."
Bumubutai shook his head and said, "Just a liar."
As they said, a young man with a pale face and a slutty face, and a lewd face without concealing his lust broke in. He instantly stared at Bumubutai with a burning gaze. He came to the table in three steps, carefully placed a porcelain bottle in his hand on the table, and then looked at Bumubutai with a sincere face: "Madam, look, this was refined by my ancestors during the Xuande period. There was no second one in the entire Ming Dynasty. There was a person who paid 30,000 taels and I didn't sell it!"
His words were very direct and his eyes were hot, and he almost said bluntly: Madam, let's sleep with me tonight, no, let's go to bed now!
Bumubutai didn't know much about porcelain, so he glanced at him and said, "Do you do business?"
The young man was stunned and immediately thought that this poor woman was a businessman who showed up in public. Mostly the man died, so he could not do so. He immediately raised his chest and patted his chest and said, "Madam, don't worry, as long as you follow me, I will help you manage your business!"
Su Mo'er's face changed slightly. This person really didn't know how to live or die. He was still holding back his talents, or he had already made this idea!
It's really a blind thing, a life-and-death thing!
Bumu Butai was not angry, his expression was always calm, and he turned to look at Su Mo'er and said, "If you take him to Yingtian Mansion, you will say I need someone to take charge of the business."
Su Moer and Bumubutai are sisters for more than ten years, but they were stunned for a moment and immediately understood.
Although Bumubutai has not entered the palace yet, if he is pregnant with the dragon heir, he is the "Empress". How could there be a normal man around the Empress dowager do things? This "Empress dowager" can only be the inner supervisor in the palace!
"Yes!" Su Mo'er responded with a smile, then looked at the young man and said, "Follow me."
"Oh, OK," the young man didn't know why he was going to Yingtian Mansion, but he was still overjoyed. Looking at Bumubutai's infatuation and determination, he said, "Madam, you wait for me, I will be back soon..."
Bumubutai smiled rare and picked up the bird's nest in front of him.
The young man suddenly became even more absent-minded, his eyes full of green light.
"In the future, it should be clean..." Bumu Butai ate the bird's nest, touched his lower abdomen, and murmured to himself softly.
After taking a few bites, Bumubutai put the bird's nest aside, picked up the abacus and started fighting.
Chapter completed!
