Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 749: Mission visit

Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: (apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! People from the French mission such as Gerdes do not know that this store is directly affiliated to the royal family, and it is specialized For their temporary preparation, the various products in the store have also been selected in advance. It is said to be an ordinary store, but in fact it is a temporary product exhibition. These products are currently being promoted by the Ministry of Commerce. The special products that come to earn foreign exchange, and many of them are novel gadgets made in the royal industry, soap is one of them.

However, although Gerdes also bought it and was very interested in the trade of these special products, but what he wanted more was not doing business. He wanted to settle down in Zhaoqing, and he wanted to live in this paradise-like city. , he will never go back to filthy Europe again!

If he can settle down in Zhaoqing, then he can enjoy everything that these Chinese people can enjoy, which is in line with his status as a decent person.

Even a poor pirate captain, Gerdes is a man of pursuit!

However, there are still relatively few people who have lofty pursuits like Gerdes. Most of the Flang machine people in the mission see these novel and characteristic products, and what they see are white silver and yellow gold!

If these characteristic products from ancient eastern countries can be shipped back to Europe, just the word "oriental" is enough to make these products more than ten times the value. If they are properly hyped, they will open up sales and increase profits by dozens of times. All are possible.

For example, this black tea, they are very interested!

It is worth noting that drinking tea is not popular in Europe now. Even the Dutch tried to transport tea to Europe for sale in the mid-17th century, but it was only a small estimate. The popularity of drinking tea was after the British began to promote it.

However, as long as the product is good, after a certain amount of publicity and hype, there is no need to worry about the lack of a market, especially since they also know that tea is very popular in China, and the upper class people drink tea.

In this way, they undoubtedly formed a certain impression that tea, like silk and porcelain, are all things of the upper class.

In today's Europe, things from the East China, especially the things used by the upper-class people in China, are sought after from the heart.

Moreover, the black tea launched by the Ministry of Commerce this time is different from green tea. It is fermented tea, which can be transported over long distances without deterioration. able to sell.

If it's just ordinary tea leaves, it's a long way to go. Ordinary green tea, oolong tea and the like are shipped back to Europe, and the taste will be worse!

Europeans are not fools, and they will never think that tea leaves with bad taste are still delicious!

However, although the Flange Mission is very excited about the many special products, they have not forgotten their own mission. They are here to repair the trade.

You know, on the surface, the Folang machine is still in a state of war with the Tang Dynasty. Even if the two sides have not fought now, and they have actually carried out large-scale sea trade, they can't keep going like this sneakily. Ah, there must be a legitimate name!

On the Tang Dynasty side, they also tended to do business with Folang Jiren. After all, now Folang Jiren is the one who really controls the Indian Ocean. Although the Spaniards can come here, the restrictions are still too great. If you really open the way of trade with the Folang robot, then you will be able to take over the hands of the Folang robot and export a large amount of goods to Europe.

Making money, and also earning foreign exchange, is naturally everyone’s favorite.

As the saying goes, rich people don't make money. Folang machines roam everywhere and open up air routes, not just to make money. Since there is money to be made, why do you have to fight with the Tang Dynasty and fight with the Tang Dynasty? but!

So this time, after going out for a shopping trip, the delegation of the Flang machine had a final negotiation with the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In fact, there was nothing to negotiate. The officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Dynasty took out a friendly trade deal. The treaty, there is nothing special about it, it basically follows fair trade, and the Folang machine in China must abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty and the like.

It's not just the treaties of the Francophones, but the treaties of the Spaniards and even other messy small countries are also like this!

Basically, the name of the other party is changed, and the other content is not changed, and then you like to sign it or not. Well, even if you don't sign it, the Tang Dynasty does not prevent them from trading in China, but there is no public pair. Only public channels!

In the two commercial ports of the Tang Dynasty, as long as you pay customs duties when entering and leaving the port, and then according to the various laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, then the Tang Dynasty does not care what country you are from, even if it is a sea merchant under the control of the Ming Dynasty. Come to trade, the Tang Dynasty is still welcome!

The reason for signing a treaty is mainly to set up embassies and send envoys to each other, but it has no effect on commercial exchanges.

Before the arrival of the Flang machine, he had carefully studied the text of the contract signed between the Tang Dynasty and the Spaniards, and in principle, it was accepted.

So after the two parties pretended to talk for fifteen minutes, the representatives of the two sides signed the treaty neatly.

The treaty stipulates that the Folang machine can set up a consulate in the Guangzhou Business District, and send diplomatic personnel to go there to handle various affairs with the Tang Dynasty, and the security of the embassy is all in charge of the Tang Dynasty, and these diplomats must also be authorized. Abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

Well, to put it simply, there is no diplomatic immunity for future generations. As for such things as extrajudicial powers, it is even more impossible to have such things. If you want this thing, you must first lay down the master of the Tang Dynasty!

After all these preparations were made, Gerdes and his party were finally allowed to enter the palace to meet Li Xuan, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

When Gerdes and the others headed to the palace under the leadership of officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they all changed into Hanfu of the Tang Dynasty.

Because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stipulates that if they want to see the emperor, they must wear Hanfu, otherwise, wearing messy clothes to meet with them will really hinder His Majesty's eyes!

At the same time, when they enter the palace as foreign ministers, they must kneel and worship, and shout in Chinese, "Long live the emperor, long live! Long live!"

This is not because Li Xuan wants to enjoy the worship of foreigners, but it is about the righteousness. If they want to not kneel and worship the emperor, it is absolutely impossible to see Li Xuan!

In Liu Bagou's words, the emperor is extremely noble, even if the king of your Buddha Langjiren comes, he still has to kneel!

After entering the palace, they were not shocked by the architecture of the palace, because although the Zhaoqing Palace covers a large area, the scale of the building is not large.

And these people are also knowledgeable people who have traveled from south to north. Although they will glance at such a palace with a little curiosity, they will not be shocked to the point of being speechless, but if they are allowed to see the Forbidden City, It is estimated that it is another golden scene.

When they walked into the main hall, what they saw vaguely was that there were many officials of the Tang Dynasty in the main hall, and at the same time there was a young man in a yellow robe sitting above.

But they only glanced at it for a while, and then lowered their heads quickly, because before entering the palace, the etiquette officials warned them that it is absolutely, absolutely impossible to look at the emperor, otherwise, it would be a crime of disrespect .

They bowed their heads and were brought in by the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They immediately knelt down according to the etiquette they had learned, and then shouted to the foreign minister so-and-so to see His Majesty, long live, long live!

Li Xuan, who was sitting on top, didn't speak, but raised his hand slightly, and the waiter beside him said loudly, "Ping!

After they stood up, Li Xuan also looked at them with rather curious eyes. Of course, Li Xuan has seen many foreigners in later generations, but to be honest, this is the first time he has seen foreigners in this era.

However, in his opinion, the four or five Flang machines at the bottom looked a little weird. They looked like standard Europeans, but after adding a Hanfu, to be honest, they looked a bit strange, especially when I heard When they said hooray~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in a very weird tone that made him want to laugh.

Fortunately, he has been the emperor for a long time, and his emotions and anger are not exposed, so even if he wants to laugh in his heart, his expression is still calm.

After the embassy of the Folang robot died, there was another pre-determined procedure. For example, the Folang robot presented a few Western treasures, and His Majesty gave some treasures in return.

In short, this whole set of procedures was negotiated by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it was also discussed with the Folang machine.

Although they are barbarians in the eyes of Tang monarchs and ministers, they are also a colonial power that traverses the world. In these days, only the Spaniards can stabilize them.

However, even the Spaniards, in the Southeast Asian waters and the Indian Ocean waters, are not the opponents of the Flang machine!

They also want face, so they know what to do and what not to do.

For example, if you call yourself a foreign minister or a minister, don’t look at the difference of only one word, but the difference is big. The Buddha Lang machine insisted that he must call himself a foreign minister, but the minister can never be used, because it is used, It is equivalent to treating Folang Jiren as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Folang Machine made a concession on the title of emperor, he did not say that he positioned himself in the vassal state of the Tang Dynasty!

Therefore, during the official interview, what to say and what to do are all negotiated in advance, and there will be no changes in the middle.

And after this ritualized audience is over, it is actually the real audience. Li Xuan, accompanied by some officials, will meet these people in the imperial study, and what he will say at that time is the real business!
