Chapter 329 The deviation that cannot be saved by four-wheel positioning
If it weren't for the black truth on the side strings of the treasure ship next to him and the blades in the hands of the Ming army, Claviro actually didn't want to pay attention to the Gargwu, the Gaul grass chicken who likes to chuck.
However, the situation is not as good as others now, and Claviyo can only endure the discomfort in his heart: "I am planning to find a new route to see if I can represent business between the East and the West, especially the business of Rose Water.
Speaking of this, don’t you French people like to do business and lend usury the most? Why didn’t you participate?”
The Gegewu suddenly shouted as if he was blown up: "Damn it, the French barbarians who like to lend money to loan money are now the people of the Ming Empire. How could he use usury?
Listen, damn, if you dare to say that I am a savage from France again, I promise to tell His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Empire and His Excellency the Governor of the South China Sea of the Ming Empire, and tell them that you are a pirate and you will definitely be thrown into the sea by them to feed the sharks!"
Claviyo spread his hands and said, "Okay, I promise not to mention this again. But are you sure the Ming Dynasty you mentioned is the empire that scares Timur Khan that lame man?"
Gegewu replied seriously: "Of course. In fact, the Timur Khanate was only one of the vassal states of the Ming Empire, and there were many vassal states like the Timur Khanate.
The kings of these vassal states pay tribute to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire every year in order to seek the recognition and protection of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, the King of Kings of Kings, just like the kings and grand dukes of Europe lined up to pay tribute to the Golden Horde decades ago. Now it is the turn of the Timur Khanate and the others to pay tribute to the Ming Emperor.
Only by gaining the recognition of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty can they collect taxes in their own country with confidence, otherwise their behavior would violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty and would be punished by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.”
Seeing that the Gegewu was getting more and more outrageous, Kraveyo couldn't help but interrupt the Gegewu who was chatting: "This is impossible. Even if they paid tribute to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they did not need to abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty. This is completely different."
Gegewu said: "If you go to Ming Dynasty with permission from His Highness the Emperor of the Ming Empire and the Governor of the South China Sea, you will probably pass through a country called Chameng.
As you pass the port of their country, you can climb up to the unlucky land and take a look, where dozens of heads are hanging, because those people have hurt the people of the Ming Empire, so they are punished."
Speaking of this, Gege's chest straightened three points again: "Yes, the Ming Dynasty will always protect his citizens. When his citizens are hurt overseas, the Empire's fleet will stand up for the Empire's citizens, no matter who the other party is.
You will know later that the laws of the Ming Dynasty stipulate that citizens of the Ming Empire commit crimes overseas, and only the laws of the Ming Dynasty can punish them. No other country has the right to punish citizens of the Ming Empire."
Kravijo's face was full of disbelief: "Don't they need to comply with local laws?"
Gegewu said: "In fact, we do not need to pay attention to the laws of those vassal states. This is the right given to us by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. The Emperor's team is our most solid backing.
Of course, the quality of the people in the empire is beyond your imagination. They are united and friendly, they are hardworking and frugal, and they will not take the initiative to violate the laws of those vassal states."
Kraveyo looked around and looked at the fleet that was surrounding his merchant ship in the middle, and couldn't help but feel a hint of envy on his face: "That's really enviable.
Let me tell you the truth, man, the reason why I traveled thousands of miles to find the mysterious empire that could scare the lame man Timur Khan was because the lame man was completely crazy.
Now the entire East-West trade route is completely blocked, and he has prepared a large number of troops, as if he intends to restart the war with the Ottomans.
If they really fight, then there is no doubt that the whole of Europe will be affected.
Now France is fighting the British, Spain is preparing to declare war on Portugal. God, the whole of Europe is already chaotic enough. If that lame man goes to war with the Ottoman again, the whole world will be in ignition."
"so what?"
Gegewu asked, "Did you come for peace in the world?"
Claviyo shook his head and replied, "But it is not.
God is here, I need a lot of silver coins to support my mistress and illegitimate sons, but the last silver coins on those poor people were plundered by the church with indulgences, so I had to think of another way.
Last year, last year, I discovered the good thing about rose water, which can make those women more charming. Now not only French ladies need rose water, but also European ladies need it, and a lot of rose water.
Also, the French army needed more muskets and ammunition, while the British and Spanish armies, and Portugal also needed these things."
The Gargwal did not believe Kraviyo's words at all: "As you said, what does this have to do with the Timur Khanate? What does it have to do with the Ming Empire?"
"Of course it's related."
Clavijo said: "As long as I find the emperor of the mysterious and great empire, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you call it, and find a way to obtain a title from him, then should I be afraid of that lame man from Timur?
Think about it, not only the rose water in the east, but also the silk, tea, and porcelain. These things are not only needed by the European ladies, but also by the Timur Khanate and the Ottoman ladies.
With money, I can smuggle muskets and artillery. All the great dukes and nobles in Europe will become my clients, and I will also become the richest merchant in Europe, and I can even lend to a country.
My dear man, join me and take this great thing to smuggle to the end!”
The Gangwu nodded and turned to Zhu Zhanji and Yang Shaofeng: "Dear Prince of the Emperor, His Royal Highness, His wise Governor of the South China Sea, this Spanish barbarian is definitely not a good thing. He not only wants to smuggle His Governor's Rose Water Business, but also wants to smuggle the empire's tea, silk, muskets and cannons.
I think the best choice for a barbarian who is determined to make money in war is to sink him to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, otherwise he will definitely harm the interests of the empire."
——Of course, it also includes the interests of my Gegewu
At that time, Governor Yang said he wanted me to go to Europe to act on the perfume and arms business. Now, you, a barbarian who came out of nowhere, wanted to steal my business? Isn’t this competing for favor with me?
It's damn!
Even so, Gege still honestly translated what Claviyo said - he could translate it himself, and Jiang Xinlong could also translate it. The citizenship he had finally obtained must not be discarded because of a barbarian!
Yang Shaofeng was a little confused-
Since the 13th year of Yongle, the wheels of this world have begun to deviate.
Zhu Laosi, who should have died this year, has no sign of dying at all. He ran to Yangjiazhuang every few days to eat and drink, but also took Zhu Zhanji and the two four-legged gold-swallowing beasts in his family to hang out every day. Even most of the government affairs were left to Zhu Gaochi, in the name of training the prince's ability to govern.
In addition to Zhu Laosi, Zhu Gaochi's fat boy often goes to the fields to work, so his current body is not at all obesity. Look at this way, he can probably live a few more years;
Zhu Gaoxu, who was secretly poking up to rebel, was now thrown into the Western Regions by Zhu Laosi to eat sand; Zhu Gaosui followed the fleet to Nanyang to find the Great Wilderness.
Xuanwei, the old port, who had no rebellion, inexplicably caused a rebellion to occur. An overseas enclave that should have been abandoned decades later became a hot commodity because Zhu Gaosui wanted to find the Great Wilderness.
Now, a Spanish man is inexplicably smuggling things like perfume and tea? He also wants to smuggle muskets and cannons?
Could it be that the wheels of the world have gone to this level and cannot even save the four-wheel positioning?
After touching his chin and thinking for a while, Yang Shaofeng raised his head and said, "I'll talk about these things later. Now I'll take this guy to the old port first and let him see the wharf of the old port.
Tell him that in the future, his merchant ships would have to dock and replenish supplies at the old port - what happened to the Spanish messenger? The messenger would not have to pay tolls? Docking and replenishing supplies would cost?"
Gege translated to Clavio truthfully again.
Clavijo looked desperate: "No, I haven't made any money yet. I still have several mistresses and illegitimate children to raise. If I stop for one more supply, I will have to spend more money, and I will definitely not be able to bear it!"
The Garghu pointed to the cannon on the side string of the treasure ship and said, "Or why do you discuss it with the Truth? I think the Governor will not mind throwing you into the sea to feed the sharks!"
Turning his head, the Gangwu bowed to Yang Shaofeng again and said, "Governor General, he will definitely agree. Please allow me to persuade him slowly?"
Yang Shaofeng nodded and returned to the treasure ship with Zhu Zhanji. Then a fleet of five treasure ships "escorted" Kravio's merchant ship to the Old Port Pier.
"In the future, without the customs clearance and tax payment certificate from the old Hong Kong government, these barbarians' ships cannot be docked at the port of the Maritime Bureau, nor are they allowed to trade."
Yang Shaofeng touched his chin and said, "Also, after going back, I have to ask Mr. Xia to ask Mr. Xia for some money and ask the shipyard of the Ministry of Industry to get a few more treasure ships. In the future, we will vigorously crack down on illegal acts of maritime smuggling."
