Qiming 1158

Chapter 1629 The world revolution really should be promoted
The secret base of the Skynet Army operating in Bagan has been established with the official entry of the first batch of merchants.

In order to establish a commercial agency and a secret organization of the Renaissance Society, Su Yonglin sent people in in the name of the national envoy, which consisted of official diplomatic officials, political cadres of the Renaissance Society, and Skynet Army spies who were familiar with the local situation and disguised as business travelers. , we all act together.

This is the first time Daming has sent official personnel to Bagan.

The king of Bagan, Narobot Sidu, inherited the foundation of his grandfather and father, and took over a feudal dynasty with a high degree of unity. The main religion of this country is Buddhism, and there are Buddhist temples all over the country. The status of monks is very high, and the property of the temple is high Very rich.

For a thoroughly secular country like Daming, it is actually not easy to deal with such countries, because apart from commercial relations, it is not easy to find an entry point.

However, for countries close to Sichuan and Yunnan, Daming enjoys an unexpected entry point for the inheritance of a long history - Zhuge Liang.

According to the account of the Skynet Army spy who is doing business in Bagan, there is a Zhuge Wuhou Temple in the northern part of Bagan. The locals maintain sacrifices to Zhuge Liang and respect Zhuge Liang. For Daming, this may be a fight with the locals. A wonderful entry point to a good relationship.

When he heard the news at that time, Su Yonglin was deeply moved at the internal meeting of the executive committee.

Zhuge Liang has passed away for nearly 1000 years, but the rich legacy he left thousands of years ago can still be used today. How can a person leave such a firm footprint that cannot be easily erased in the long river of history? How amazing?
Su Yonglin is not a person who likes personality worship, but he always feels that facing Zhuge Liang, he, a traveler who has an advantage in history, needs to pay homage.

However, exchanges between countries have always been different from exchanges between people. People exchanges can seek common historical memories, but exchanges between countries are not.

Narobot Siddu seemed to welcome the arrival of the Ming envoys, and received them in person with the most solemn etiquette, but the vigilance and alienation in his eyes could not be concealed.

The head of the envoy, Tian Guizi's highly valued subordinate, and Song Xiangxi, secretary-general of the Prime Minister's Office of the Renaissance Society, knew why the king was wary of his arrival.

It is nothing more than a series of military operations by the Eighth Corps Xu Tong on the border between Dali Province and the Kingdom of Bagan - Xu Tong is leading the army to encircle and suppress the remnants of the powerful and landlord class in Dali, who have fled from the central and eastern parts of Dali to the border of Bagan. area.

Song Xiangxi gave a fairly clear response to the vigilance of Naraboti Sidhu, saying that this was Daming's military operation to suppress rebels, and it would be limited to the territory of Daming and would not involve Bagan.

Napoleon did not agree with this, but this was indeed the main reason why he had doubts about the Ming Kingdom. If it was just a visit by an envoy, he would not be so vigilant.

Of course he knew about Daming's wealth and precious commodities. Although he didn't know about Daming, he knew about Daming's tea, silk, porcelain, and pottery. These are super-powerful products that are hard currency in the international market. It is impossible for him to be a king. Don't understand.

He also very much wants these commodities in larger quantities and at lower prices. If he can obtain such benefits through official contact with Daming, then he feels that other things can be negotiated as long as they do not involve national sovereignty.

For example, what the merchants who knew about the Ming Dynasty said about the vassal state and so on.

But Daming doesn't seem to have such an idea. He is really just here to talk about business. He hopes to set up an official agency here, with envoys stationed permanently. If there is any need for commodities in Bagan, you only need to contact the agency. Place an order and the agency will handle it all for them.

They just have to wait in the country to receive the goods.

Daming plans to strengthen the strength of maritime commercial transportation, and it is no longer necessary for them to dispatch a lot of manpower and material resources to purchase goods.

And in terms of price, it will also be more favorable than the original price, it all depends on Napoleon Siddu's support for the agency and the degree of protection for the merchants of the Ming Dynasty to do business in Bagan.

Napoleon all understands that the Ming Kingdom is coming to the door to sell.

This is not surprising, but Napoleon said that these products are obviously very popular, and they can be sold without any need for promotion. Countless sea merchants want to get the opportunity to do business with Daming. What is Daming? Thinking of delivering it to your door?

In this regard, Song Xiangxi's explanation is very simple.

Daming has innovated technology, and the output of commodities has been improved. If you just wait for people to come to buy in the original way, it will cause accumulation of products. Therefore, it is necessary to take the initiative to sell Daming products with higher frequency and quantity.

Who doesn't want to make more money?
Correspondingly, Daming will also reduce the price of products relatively, and you can also get discounts for bulk purchases, everyone wins.

Napoleon nodded, thought for a while, and reluctantly accepted this statement.

But he was still curious. He didn't know why Daming didn't discuss with him about vassal states. As far as he knew, Daming should be accustomed to letting small foreign countries become their vassal states and paying tribute. Why didn't Song Xiangxi say it?

Regarding this question, Song Xiangxi smiled and said that Daming is different from the past.

Daming does not pursue the existence of vassal states. Daming hopes to achieve friendly exchanges with many countries in the world. Daming no longer pursues such things as status.

Napoleon was all surprised by this, but since the other party said so, he didn't need to beg someone to be a vassal state. Now as long as the Ming army retreats from the border, then he is willing to fight with the Ming state. A series of friendly exchanges.

Song Xiangxi expressed his happiness, and presented a national gift to Napoleon Sidu in the name of the Ming Dynasty.

In the days that followed, Song Xiangxi had a more in-depth exchange with Napolati Sidu, and he also visited the mountains, rivers and rivers in the surrounding area of ​​the capital, as well as a series of magnificent Buddhist temple buildings, arranged by Napoluo Sidu.

Napoleon was proud of his splendid buildings, believing that these splendid buildings represented the strength and prosperity of his country, and expressed his devotion to the Buddhas, so that he would surely be blessed by the Buddhas.

Song Xiangxi has no interest in Buddhism and Taoism. He politely praised the magnificence and luxury of these temple buildings, and also highly praised the luxurious Buddha statues made of gold-plated and pure gold. .

His eyes were on the ragged and scrawny drudgery on the site of the unfinished temple complex.

They don't have enough clothes to cover their bodies, and obviously they don't get enough food to satisfy their stomachs, let alone enough wages for their living, yet they have to undertake such huge and hard physical labor.

Men, women, the elderly, and children, watching those children who were only four or five years old at most were driven to carry building materials with the adults, he only felt uncomfortable for a while.

This made him unable to think of the poor people who were driven to work hard by China's feudal rulers in the past years, including his younger self who used to work hard for the landlord's family.

Now, Su Yonglin has established the Daming Democratic Republic and ended the suffering of the Chinese people, and all this tells him that the suffering in this world is far from gone.

The world revolution really should be pushed forward.

With such a heavy burden of suffering, how can there be no soil and flames of revolution in this land that worships Buddha?
