Chapter 1533 Enough
Every envoy hoped to meet Chen Mu before the conference, but most of them did not have such an opportunity.

But in fact, in Daming's Eastern Military Mansion, there were still people who wished to meet these envoys.

When the mighty merchant ships sailed from Nanyang to Dongyang, Shi Xiaolou entered Daxi Port from Qilinwei with various handmade products from the mainland of Ming Dynasty and the Southwest Ocean.

"Porcelain? Porcelain is no problem, as long as you can pay, give me a heraldic burqa, and your map, two years later, no matter where in the world, your king will receive what he wants goods."

"Pearls from the South Seas and gemstones from the West, you can have whatever you want, as long as you can afford it."

"Tobacco? Tobacco is a problem, but it's not a problem. I can buy it for you and deliver it to your door."

Shi Xiaolou was jealous. Seeing that Li Yuxi got all kinds of escort warships because of paying taxes to the Dongyang military government, and dominated the port trade in Puli County, he also wanted to grab business from Europe.

In addition to rushing into Daxi Port to meet envoys from various countries and attract customers, he also entered the military mansion to inquire about possible business opportunities.

As the old saying goes, hard work pays off, and the persistent harassment finally made Chen Mu rarely show kindness, and asked Zhao Shizhen to help him analyze it.

"Brother Shi, you have been doing business with Chen Shuai for many years. When there are good things, the commander will never forget you, but this time - you will honestly deliver goods along the coast south of Daxigang, It’s great to go to Africa to do some business with Songhai, so don’t get involved with Europa.”

Zhao Shizhen persuaded with good words, and analyzed: "Think about what this conference of nations is for. To put it bluntly, our court is drawing several big countries to delineate territory. If the European military government does not bang, it must be Spanish. ; the Spaniards in places outside the European continent can never get their hands on it."

"In the final analysis, it is a long-distance and short-term attack. The main thing is that the country and Spain agreed on the border, and separately ate and swallowed the countries within the border. After this matter, students really don't know what will happen to Ottoman, but there must be a big change in the European continent. .”

"Westerners have the ambition to unify the country. The battle in the Netherlands has not stopped. In a blink of an eye, the commander-in-chief assured that he will probably have friction with Ferranxi when he goes back. At the very least, he will lead the army into Navarra."

"When the flames of war ignited, the aristocratic lord can't save his life. A merchant like Brother Shi, who carefully accumulates his family's wealth, why bother to involve himself in it. Could it be that you still want to sell the military weapons of the Eastern Army?"

After Zhao Shizhen said something, Shi Xiaolou nodded one after another, and then asked: "Mr. Zhao said that soon after this conference is over, there will be wars in Europe?"

"I can't say for sure, wars will probably happen, but I don't know when the big chaos will be."

"It might be within half a year, or it might be within one or two years, but it won't be much longer. Now that the soldiers of the Western Kingdom are well-stocked, Fei Laoer won't want to delay the big things until his next life."

Shi Xiaolou nodded as if he had received some guarantee, and said, "Understood, I understand now that Mr. Zhao said so."

What Zhao Shizhen meant was actually what Chen Mu meant. Weapons will definitely be sold in the future, but this will be taken over by Ye Mengxiong, Minister of the Eastern Military Government, and it is not something ordinary merchants can touch.

The World Conference of Nations itself is a trap. The envoys of city-state nobles and kings who came from Europa thought that participating in the Conference of Nations would allow them to find support and stand on the sidelines with big and powerful countries like Ming, Spain, and Ottomans. Communicate on an equal footing.

In fact, they are just the goods they transported by themselves, waiting for the strong to choose.

And the kingdoms that think they are strong, such as Spain and Ferranci, are actually more expensive goods, and they will fall into the pit in the end, fighting each other to make a mess.

Even Da Ming is definitely not without costs, they may benefit from the chaos, but in the final analysis, they also have to pay a lot of maintenance costs for this chaos.

After all, everyone in the Dongyang Military Mansion, including Ye Mengxiong, believed that there might not be a real winner in the future development of this matter.

But they all agreed with Chen Mu's purpose. The purpose of the Congress of Nations was not to allow Daming to win, but to maintain an advantage.

It is generally believed that this battle for the purpose of unifying the world is about to kick off, and the final result may not be a bad thing for the people after Europa.

But in modern times, it must not be a good thing.

Long-term peace is better than long-term wars, but peace often requires wars to achieve. Now what these warmongers are promoting is the great chaos on the land.

For merchants like Li Yuxi and Shi Xiaolou, their wealth is their strength, and the military government naturally does not want them to invest their wealth in this chaos that cannot be estimated.When Zhao Shizhen saw that Shi Xiaolou said that he understood, he felt a little relieved, and said with a smile: "It's good that Brother Shi understands, if you need any help, you are welcome, the commander has already given instructions to the students, when the business in Europe is not good, , you can contact Songhai on your behalf to see what they are missing."

"what?"

Shi Xiaolou froze for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "No problem, nothing, I understand, I'll go back to China now."

Back, back home?

Zhao Shizhen was about to be amused by Shi Xiaolou's courage, and quickly waved his hands and said, "You don't need to go back to China, brother Shi, don't worry, no matter how big this chaos is, it won't affect East Asia."

"The military government is in Daming Port, Damingwei, Spain, Shihe of the Azores, Fu Shuai of Lisbon, Portugal, Chen Jiujing, Duke of Feilan Xibaishan, Yingming, the general of Yilan, and Yang Ce, the admiral of the United Fleet of the Western Han Dynasty. Wan, four military fleets and two Han fleets, no matter what happens, they will be able to prevent chaos in Europe."

"Absolutely not, it will spread to Asia."

Zhao Shizhen did not expect that he and Shi Xiaolou were thinking about completely different things. Shi Xiaolou shook his head while laughing, and bowed his hands to salute him, saying: "You think too much, Shi Mou returned to China It’s not about taking refuge, it’s about going back to buy goods.”

"I'll be back this time next year. Asia is a land of abundance. I even want to make my home here, so how can I be willing to leave?"

"Purchase?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhao did not say that there will be great chaos in the Western Kingdom, and it is estimated that the spread will be widespread, and many people will die, right?"

"After three to five years of fighting, how could 20, 50, or even [-] people die?"

Shi Xiaolou was much more courageous than Zhao Shizhen imagined, and his heart was much darker. He wanted to let a bunch of people die when he opened his mouth.

"Our woodworking and textile industries in Asia are not good enough. The gap is too big. I have to go back to my country. There are quite a few decent coffins of 20 sets, but not many sets of [-] sets. The European soldiers and civilians can't afford coffins. [-] shrouds made of traditional materials should be enough for them."

　good afternoon!
