Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 182 What kind of bad thoughts can Daming have?

Zhu Jinsong looked at Zeng Cheng in bewilderment.

It was impossible for Zeng Cheng not to know that this was a condition that he could not agree to at all.

Emperor Ming and Prince of Portugal?

Isn't this horse riding a bullshit!
Li Erfeng can accept titles like Tian Khan, because Tian Khan is a title, which represents the surrender of the Turkic tribe to the Tang Dynasty. Would you like to let him serve as the khan of a certain Turkic tribe?What an insult!
In the same way, Maria I can also give Zhu Jinsong the title of Lord of the World and King of Kings, but it is absolutely impossible for Zhu Jinsong to concurrently serve as the Prince of Portugal.

Especially in the eyes of Zhu Jinsong, who is more (crab!) than that, even if the emperor of the Central Plains Tangkou also served as the emperor of the Roman Empire in its heyday, it would still be a drop in price!
As the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for Zeng Cheng to be unaware of the twists and turns.

Seeing that Zhu Jinsong's complexion was turning black, Zeng Chengdang even sped up his speech: "It's just that, for the sake of Daming's face and His Majesty's face, I ask His Majesty to marry you to His Highness Qin Wang or Jin Wang !"

Hearing what Zeng Cheng said, Liu Huaiwen, who was still a little hesitant just now, also bowed and said: "For the sake of Daming, I ask your majesty to marry you to His Royal Highness Qin Wang or Jin Wang!"

Zhu Erdan and Zhu Sanshun were immediately stunned—you Zeng Futai, didn't you just persuade the emperor to agree to the marriage?Co-authoring is such a persuasion?And Uncle Huaiwen, is your old man speaking human language?What does it mean to consider for Daming?That is simply for the consideration of Daming's treasury!

Thinking that they would be accused of marrying a Rakshasa woman with red hair and blue eyes whom they didn't know at all, Zhu Erdan and Zhu Sanshun panicked, and Zhu Erdan even stood up with a bang, and shouted, "Brother!"

Panicked, not only forgot to call Brother Huang, even his voice trembled a little.

However, Zhu Jinsong ignored Zhu Erdan and Zhu Sanshun who were flustered, and said: "This is absolutely impossible, whether it is me or the two of them, it is absolutely impossible."

Zhu Erdan and Zhu Sanshun were immediately happy, especially Zhu Erdan, who even felt like he had escaped from the sky.

But to Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs, Zhu Jinsong's decision was like a bolt from the blue, which immediately stunned everyone.

If it is said that Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, has a brotherly affection for King Qin and King Jin, then it really cannot be faked, but if it is said that because of brotherly love, he can give up such a large piece of land in Portugal, Zeng Cheng and others absolutely do not believe it .

For the sake of the Sauron tribe in Liaodong, His Majesty and the old man can even sell themselves directly, let alone His Highness King Qin and King Jin.

In fact, Zhu Jinsong was also very distressed.

If it were France or England, or any other relatively normal country, Zhu Jinsong would sell Zhu Erdan and Zhu Sanshun unceremoniously.

The problem is the Portuguese royal family, which is not very normal.

Just when everyone was confused, Zhu Jinsong went on to say: "The husband of Queen Maria I of Portugal is her uncle, Pedro III, and his son Jose Francisco married his aunt. That is, the sister of Maria I, Princess Maria Benedita of Portugal."

Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs suddenly became silent.

Animals can pursue pure blood, but humans cannot. Humans are not animals, and they cannot be the same as animals, because this is not only a matter of chakra, but also involves the issue of blood inheritance.

The Portuguese royal family has become such a mess. If Daming wants to marry the daughter of Maria I to the dignified Prince Daming for the sake of a mere province?

Even under the banner of sacrificing for the country, Zhu Jinsong, the Ming emperor, will still be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and Zeng Cheng and other ministers of civil and military affairs will also be infamous for thousands of years!

Daming can't afford to lose this person!

After secretly feeling sorry for himself, Zeng Cheng simply coughed, looked at Liang Chen and said, "Liang Shilang can ask Pierre to see if there are any princes or county kings of the right age in France. Ming and France are allies."

Liang Chen glanced at Zeng Cheng imperceptibly, and couldn't help but secretly scolded Zeng Cheng for being a shameless idiot—this kind of suggestion should be made by our Honglu Temple!
But when Liang Chen secretly slandered, Zhu Jinsong went on to say: "The grain purchase plan can also start now."

Then, Liang Chen went to Piano to discuss it, saying that the Emperor of Ming had already married, and it would not be appropriate to marry a Portuguese princess, and the two Princes of Qin and Jin of Ming also had engagements. So I can only say sorry to Portugal.

Of course, in order to show Daming's sincerity, Daming can act as a matchmaker between Portugal and France, so that Portugal and France can marry each other.

Based on the ally relationship between Ming and France, once Portugal and France become relatives by marriage, it means that Portugal and Ming are also allies.

Piano thinks it's not a mess.

Letting Her Royal Highness the Princess of Portugal be someone else's concubine, this matter is always easy to say or not - although Portugal does not have the concept of concubine.

If you can hook up with France, it seems more suitable than hooking up with Daming?
At the same time, Liang Chen asked Pierre and Piano to drink tea together, saying that Daming needs to order a large amount of crops from the whole of Europe through France and Portugal, hoping that Pierre and Piano can facilitate this matter.

Pierre and Piano were a little confused.

Neither of them is a fool who knows nothing about Daming. Of course they know how scary Daming’s grain reserves are—except for Daming’s treasury, every state capital in Daming has a grain storage warehouse, and every county has a Changping There will also be a reserve warehouse in the village, and Daming will store a considerable amount of grain every year.

According to Pierre's calculations, the grain currently stored by Daming is enough for everyone in Daming to use for a year.

This is definitely an astonishing number.

On the surface, it seems that there is not a lot of food that is enough for everyone for a year, but don't forget, this is under normal circumstances. If the wartime rationing system is implemented, then the food should be enough for the people of Ming Dynasty to last for a year and a half or even two years. years or so.

Moreover, the population of Daming is [-] million, and the [-] million people can still eat for a year without production, which is enough to prove how amazing the grain reserves of Daming are.

Let's put it this way, if these grains were put in Europa, it would be enough for everyone in Europa to eat for a year or even two years!
With so much grain in reserve, and Daming itself being considered a big agricultural country, why would Daming place a large order with Europa?

In this regard, Liang Chen gave his own explanation: "It is true that Daming has a certain amount of grain reserves, but these grain reserves are not enough for Daming, because there are too many people in Daming, and the population growth rate is very high. Also very fast, so had to place an order with Europa."

"And what Daming needs is not only food, but also cotton, wool, down and other messy things."

Calculated according to the current needs, the whole year's crop production in Europa can only be regarded as a fraction of a fraction for this order. If there is no accident, all the land in Europa is full of crops. It will also take decades to fulfill this order.

Of course, as an ally of France, Daming will also provide some necessary help to France and Portugal, such as sending agricultural experts to Europa to guide planting, such as exporting some advanced agricultural tools and tools to Europa.

Moreover, based on the principle of not treating allies badly and making money together, Daming hoped that France and Portugal would act as middlemen.

Such a large order passed through France and Portugal... Pierre and Piano seem to have seen the French and Portuguese treasuries filled with silver coins.

As for whether Daming really needs so much food, whether he can afford it, or whether he has other plans, Pierre and Piano are not very concerned.

In other words, there is really nothing worth caring about, because compared to Daming, Europa Napo is simply a backcountry, where is there any place worth plotting for Daming?
What bad thoughts could Daming have?

After the two agreed to come down, Liang Chen said that Daming was going to open embassies and consulates in France and Portugal, and send resident ambassadors and consulates. He also welcomed France and Portugal to set up embassies and consulates in Daming. cooperation can be further strengthened.

Pierre and Piano hadn't recovered from the almost astronomical order just now, but they were shocked by Liang Chen's proposal and they were stunned again. They even felt that their brains were not enough. .

What is the embassy for?What does the consulate do?

After Liang Chen roughly explained to Pierre and Piano the difference between embassies and consulates, as well as a lot of concepts such as passports, visas, visa-free, visa-on-arrival, etc., Pierre and Piano almost fell asleep. Laughing like crazy.

Exchange ambassadors and consuls?

visa?Visa-free?
Good thing!

This means that the communication between France, Portugal and Ming Dynasty will no longer be limited to high-ranking nobles and foreign students. Ordinary businessmen can also communicate with each other by applying for visas, which means more opportunities and more wealth— —

Which country is the richest country in the world?It's Daming!Which country is the richest citizen in the world?Daming of course!

Poor French and Portuguese civilians can come to Ming Dynasty to make money by applying for visas, and wealthy Ming people can also go to France and Portugal to spend money by applying for visas...

Wouldn't the treasuries of France and Portugal receive more taxes, both for earning and spending?
Thinking of the vain silver coins, Pierre couldn't help but express his opinion first: "I have to admit, this is simply a genius idea!"

"France hopes to become the first friendly country to exchange ambassadors and consulates with Ming Dynasty."

"In order to express the sincerity of France, the French government will allocate a piece of land near the Palace of Versailles in Paris for the construction of the embassy and consulate of the Ming Dynasty in France."

"Any Ming citizen, as long as they hold a passport issued by the Ming government, they can go directly to France without visa procedures, and have the same rights as French citizens."

Piano had the same idea as Pierre, and even went a step further than Pierre: "Portugal also exempts the citizens of Ming Dynasty from visas, and at the same time provides discounts at half-price tax rates for businessmen of Ming Dynasty. Of course, the same is true for France, which also implements visa-free, Half price tax rate."

After getting the promise from the two, Liang Chen felt relieved, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then the matter is almost done. Daming will also arrange the embassy and consulate and other matters, and will send troops Keep it safe."

"Furthermore, Ming's embassies and consulates in France and Portugal will also send out small-scale troops for protection—you can rest assured that each small-scale army will have no more than 30 people, only armed with guns and grenades. And cold weapons to ensure safety, they will not step out of the confines of embassies and consulates."

After hearing what Liang Chen said, Pierre and Piano couldn't help but look at each other and asked, "Does France and Portugal also need to send small-scale troops to Ming Dynasty for protection?"

Liang Chen laughed and said, "I don't think it's necessary at all. In fact, Ming Dynasty is the safest country in the world, and Ming Dynasty's army is fully capable of ensuring the safety of French and Portuguese embassies and consulates."

Pierre and Piano immediately felt relieved.

You can save a lot of money by not sending troops. The treasury of France still owes a national debt of more than one billion francs. Portugal has not slowed down since the Lisbon earthquake. money time.

And just as Liang Chen said, Ming Dynasty is the safest country in the world right now, so there is no need to worry about safety issues at all. On the contrary, the safety of France and Portugal is very irritating. There are always thieves and hooligans on the streets. , Liar, villain, simply disgraced France and Portugal.

As for not sending troops to Daming, it seems a bit embarrassing... Daming cares about face, but those countries in Europe don't care, at least France and Portugal, who are short of money and crazy, don't care.

Things went smoothly after that.

With France and Portugal proofreading in front of them, and a huge order waiting there, many other European countries also agreed to the proposal of sending ambassadors and consuls to each other.

Of course, the most important thing is Daming's guns and cannons - it must not affect the import and export business with Daming just for a little crops and consulate affairs.

Of course, this is for those European countries that are capable of sending people to Ming Dynasty.

Like some European countries that can't even leave their homes, it is estimated that they can only make a lot of hard money through France and Portugal.
