Become a feudal king from today

The wind from the sea slowly passed by the General's Mansion.

Guantong and Newman sat opposite each other, overlooking the blue sea not far away.

It has to be said that the British are very good at choosing places.

Guan Tong is also very satisfied with the current General Mansion.

Newman seemed to be in a relaxed mood as he discussed the future cooperation with Guan Tong in such a beautiful place.

He continued the previous sentence and continued, "We in Persia are not willing to surrender to the Tusman Empire, but with the strength of our country in Persia, we cannot get rid of the influence of the Tusman Empire, so my father hopes to obtain from Dasong If Dasong can directly support our arsenal with muskets and artillery, just like the Western Turks support Tusman, we will be more than happy.”

Guan Tong heard this and nodded.

He naturally knew that the reason why other countries in China would be easily conquered by the Tusman Empire was that they lost to the Tusman Empire in terms of guns and artillery.

If they can obtain the same guns and artillery as the Tusman Empire, other countries in China will no longer fear the Tusmans. .

Then, the Tusman Empire's hegemony in Middle-earth will collapse at an unprecedented speed, and it does not even require the Dasong army to personally take action.

For Dasong, this is also a very good deal.

Their emperor Zhao Xu naturally took this into consideration.

So one of the negotiation conditions given to him was this.

So he said, "There is no doubt that this article is absolutely beneficial to your Persian country, so what benefits can you provide to us?"

Newman was already prepared when he arrived.

And he knew clearly that although General Dasong talked about mutual benefit and win-win, it was impossible for Persia to be on an equal footing with the Eastern powers that could defeat the Western-Turkish coalition.

The best they hope for is to have normal exchanges with Dasong and receive support on the premise that Dasong does not invade Persia.

Even if you lose some benefits, it is worth it.

He said, "First of all, we will pay money to purchase these muskets and artillery, and even the entire steam factory. Secondly, we will provide any support for your Dasong forces to enter China, and we will also give Dasong the most preferential treatment in trade. ”

Before heading to Tianzhu, they, the Persians, had some knowledge of Dasong through Persian merchants who traded with Dasong.

Generally speaking, they believe that Dasong is not as aggressive as the Western Turks and likes to enslave a country and turn it into a colony.

After defeating the enemies of the Eastern Land country, Dasong preferred to incorporate the other country into the trade system he established.

The conquered countries maintained their relative independence.

Dasong only supervises and protects these countries through the army of the Protectorate, and basically does not interfere with their internal governance.

In other words, as long as Dasong is not an enemy, Dasong will not easily invade a country.

And this is exactly what their Persian country hopes. Even if they suffer some losses in trade, it is worth it.

"Hahaha, it is indeed a very tempting offer." Guan Tong laughed after hearing this.

This was exactly the result he wanted.

After the Tianzhu War, the strategy formulated by Emperor Zhao Xu and his cabinet was to invest more finances in development and avoid spending too much money on war.

In other words, in the future, the Dasong army will avoid directly participating in the war.

What is more important is to support regional countries to dismantle regional hegemony and reconstruct regional order.

In this way, they can not only earn a lot of wealth by selling guns, artillery, and even steam industry technology to regional countries, but also achieve their own strategic goals.

Thinking of this, he continued, "This is also our preliminary request. If so, if you improve the details, our cooperation can begin. We can even build a training base in Tianzhu to help you train generals and soldiers."

"Really?" Newman looked surprised.

He was very worried just now, fearing that General Dasong would think that the conditions he proposed were too excessive.

"Of course, we Dasong people are the most faithful to our promises." Guan Tong said seriously.

"Thank you, thank you, then we can discuss the details now." Newman was impatient, fearing that Guan Tong would regret it.

In recent years, they have been severely oppressed by Tusman, and they have to pay huge tribute coins to Tusman every year.

They have long been impatient with this.

"Okay." Guan Tong answered simply.

According to the plan, they will negotiate the preliminary terms of the contract, which will then be sent to Yancheng for review by the cabinet and reviewed by Emperor Zhao Xu.

If it is passed, the terms with the Persian state can come into effect.

Next, the two discussed for a long time before finally reaching a preliminary contract.

The contract includes the types and prices of muskets and artillery provided by Dasong, and the price of training the army.

There are also provisions for the export of steam industry.

Currently, Dasong is already exporting a complete set of steam industry equipment to its affiliated countries.

However, they do not directly export technology, but export finished products.

In other words, they will sell a complete set of steam engines to them, but they will not teach them the technology of making steam engines.

In the future, their steam equipment maintenance and replacement will require the support of Dasong's technical workers.

The reason why they did this was because according to the calculations of the Commerce Department, Dasong could obtain the maximum benefit in the short term.

Even if these countries master these technologies through development in the future, they have already earned what they should earn.

Precisely because of the huge profits, they are now happy to export steam industry products that are a generation behind.

So they did the same to Persia.

In addition to muskets and artillery, the two also discussed trade issues in the steam industry.

In this regard, Guantong proposed that trade between the two countries must be settled through Songyuan.

In other words, if the Persian country wants to buy something from Dasong, it must use Songyuan.

"But we don't have Song Yuan in Persia?" Newman was obviously a little confused about the condition.

It's not that they don't want to use Song Yuan, it's that they don't.

"Of course we have thought about this problem. You can transport the country's gold and silver to the Grand Song Royal Bank and exchange it for Song Yuan. You can exchange it in kind while you are alive." Guan Tong said slowly.

Song Yuan is related to the monetary system established by Da Song.

Not only did they treat Persia like this, but they would also treat any other country that had trade relations with Dasong in the future.

The reason they can do this is that Dasong has industrial products that other countries do not have.

Even in the future, Western countries will only be able to abide by this point.

"Well, that's not impossible." Newman frowned.

In fact, he doesn't like this. After all, gold and silver are hard currency. After being exchanged for Da Song's currency, if Da Song doesn't recognize it, these Song Yuan will become useless paper.

However, now he can only take risks and gamble on Da Song's reputation.

Of course, they will not bet all their wealth at once.

I will gamble a small amount of my wealth first.
