Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 371 Portuguese Requirements

The antique church in East Gothic style, the interior is inlaid with the statue of the Virgin Mary and Jesus with mosaics. Under the light of the silver candlestick, it seems to be alive at any time. The tableware on the table is full of pure silver, but looking at it Song Qingshu still had the urge to stuff his face into the red wine jar of that benevolent Archbishop Malegoby.

"Archbishop, don't you think your request is too much?"

Knocking on the table, Song Qingshu roared angrily, but Malegoby was surprised when he heard this.

"Your Excellency, don't you Orientals always pay attention to being open-minded and making money in harmony? This time, I complied with the request of the Governor of Macau to negotiate with Your Excellency. Since Your Excellency hopes to obtain the ship type of our great Portuguese Armada, isn't such a small request unreasonable?" ?"

The rapping Hokkien dialect mixed with Nanjing mandarin made Song Qingshu feel like he was listening to Jay Chou's songs for the first time, and it was hard to hear clearly. Hearing what he said, Song Qingshu immediately felt speechless. Indeed, he wanted theirs. technology, it seems reasonable to change technology for technology, but things are not that simple.

First of all, the western shipbuilding technology is almost semi-public, and the coastal countries are similar. Of course, everyone has such unique skills, but they will definitely not exchange them for Song Qingshu, and what they want is the unique technology of Jiaduobao, the sewing machine!
It will be two or three hundred years before the birth of the sewing machine in later generations. How can Song Qingshu's light industrial products monopolize most of the national market now?The reason is that the sewing machine is much more efficient than manual work. In order to keep the secret, Song Qingshu even ordered that the inside of each sewing machine be sealed with a lock to prevent outsiders from peeking into the structure. Unexpectedly, so many wolves in China did not get it. Still staring at it.

This is like someone exchanging a high-end product for your unique secret recipe. If you think about it, you will suffer.

"Your Excellency, your east is so rich and prosperous, with food and clothing to keep you warm, but our western continent is so barren, with backward weaving methods, and people have to wear coarse clothes. Isn't China the most hospitable and harmonious world? I believe your Excellency will be happy to achieve it." This deal, to help people far away!"

This guy continued to persuade Song Qingshu plausibly, his tone seemed to be sure, not to mention, if other people in this era, especially Emperor Chongzhen, could not help but agree, the heavenly dynasty is rich!It really shows my celestial demeanor!However, what he met was Song Qingshu who despises such a poor and generous person.

Because of generosity, Chinese silk spread to Byzantium, so that Milan became the leader of the world's clothing industry in later generations. The original oriental service was even forgotten by the Chinese themselves. It is precisely because of this generosity that the British learned from the Qing Dynasty and taught The Indians planted tea, and now half of the leisurely afternoon teas of British and American gentlemen are made in India, but Chinese tea exports are hitting a wall everywhere.

"Mr. Malegoby, you must know that the shipbuilding industry now looks like the Netherlands is more developed than your country, and the Dutch are in Taiwan, not far from me, and the British from the British Isle seem to have also arrived in Macau. In the West Sea Battle, it seems that the British won. In comparison, their ships are more valuable than yours. I heard that the British are eager to trade, and even had some conflicts with the Guangzhou government in Humen. I believe they are also very happy. Are you looking forward to a friendly trading partner? There is also the Spanish Governor’s Palace in Luzon, where Magellan, the master of navigation, did not work for it. If there is a strong ally in Nanjing, I believe His Excellency the Spanish Governor will also consider it carefully.”

"Because Franjiguo and my Ming Dynasty had the earliest contact and the deepest friendship, so I was the first to visit Macau. I am willing to pay a large sum of gold and silver to buy a ship and lay the foundation for future trade between the two sides. But if you are so insincere, then I It has to be reconsidered.”

Tapping his finger on the table, Song Qingshu also looked like a western gentleman in the movie, talking arrogantly, but who knew that Malgobi was confused. These days, the name of a country is completely different from that of later generations. Take Germany for example At this time, it is still under the rule of the Holy Roman Empire, divided into Prussia, Cologne, Brandenburg and many other states. What about Britain and the Netherlands? On the contrary, this Westerner does not know. In the end, the communication failed, forcing Song Qingshu to put himself Turned out the map of Europe drawn from memory and showed it to him.

Looking at the locations of the European map painted like potatoes, the face of the Archbishop of Macau finally changed. He never expected that Song Qingshu, an oriental, would know so much about the current situation in the West. He glanced at Tang Ruowang complainingly, but immediately, the old ghost folded his arms very forcefully.

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid I've disappointed you. Now the Netherlands is cooperating with Fujian Haiphong Guerrilla Zheng Yiguan Zheng Jueye. The Netherlands will not trade with you, and the UK you mentioned is an ally of our Portugal. They still have to rely on Macau of our country comes to trade with Daming, and it will not easily sell the ship to you. There is also Luzon, which is separated from Daming by the sea. It is even more difficult for you to get a Spanish ship map from under the nose of Sir Zheng Yiguan more difficult."

"Your Excellency, the Governor of Macau also has 12 points of sincerity. If this trade is successful, you will also gain the friendship of Macau and the Malacca colony. I hope you will think about it!"

"No, no, there is an old saying in China that flies don't bite seamless eggs. Since they are in the east, there is always a chance. You should think about it!" Song Qingshu's head shook like a rattle.

…………

Things are still stuck here. What Song Qingshu said is actually correct. If you cooperate with the begging army, it will be a good choice for Portugal, which is declining day by day. At least with Dai County’s strong light industry capacity and low prices , can let them earn a lot of money in Europe, but people are always greedy, envious of Song Qingshu's textile technology, and in the next banquet, Archbishop Malegoby just refused to let go.

And Portugal is also very important to Song Qingshu. At least if he gets the Portuguese shipbuilding technology and improves the technology of the Dafu Ship, it can save him at least one year. In one year, it will be more than 100 capital ships!However, Song Qingshu was also unwilling to exchange the sewing machine for the obvious loss-making business. He also insisted that he would pay gold and silver to buy it, and would never trade technology for technology. The two argued like a vegetable seller all night, and finally got The dinner party broke up badly.

In the next few days, under the pretext of inspecting Yingtian Cathedral and exchanging theology, Mahler Gobi and his party No. 30 magic sticks will stay here, saying that they don't care about food, but Song Qingshu also needs the other party, so he simply turned a blind eye to this. Ruowang should pay back the cost of this soup, and treat the archbishop of Macau as if it didn't exist.

At this time, the fight is all about momentum!Whoever speaks first bows first!
But even though he kept quiet, it didn't mean that Song Qingshu could bear his temper.

"He's a fucking bastard, treating me like a big pit? Didn't he make a sound today? If he didn't make a sound, we'll be exhausted! Let's see who can beat the other. If we find Zheng He's treasure, I will He is no longer needed!"

In the hospital, listening to Shi Lang's report another day, Song Qingshu also slammed the teacup in his hand on the ground again, yelling at the fragments, and depressedly put his head on the window of the room to peep inside. A crazy and ugly man, listening to his muttering, Shi Lang, the leader of personal investment, couldn't help shaking his head helplessly.

"Marshal, it really can't be done. The subordinates should go and steal it. Seeing that those feudal ghosts have brought a lot of luggage, it is estimated that there may be ship charts and sea charts that the Marshal wants."

Shi Lang's idea was flamboyant enough, and Song Qingshu was really moved when he heard it, but immediately, he shook his head depressed again: "Forget it, these ghosts are very cunning, they are all masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles. How could they carry the chart of the ship with them?"

"Oh, hurry up, you bastard!"

As he said that, he knocked on the wall again, and the unlucky ghost who was infected with the disease was hiding behind his dean's office, occupying his resting room, occupying the big bed where Song Qingshu originally planned to unspoken rules for the secretary and the little nurse, Seeing Doctor Zhao and two nurses in the room still pouring penicillin into that guy, Song Qingshu couldn't help but tapped his head again.

It would be great if this guy could get some clues about this treasure, even if it was left by Liu Xiang, while this guy was still awake!The navigation technology of the Ming Dynasty declined year by year. Treasure ships must be more advanced than today’s Fuchuan. They can sail to the coast of Africa, and they can be relied on in storms. After finding the treasure ships, why are they so rare for the Portuguese’s small broken ships? Song Qingshu regretted it thinking.

Just when he was most annoyed, there was another noise from downstairs.

"Damn it, who's not open-eyed came to make trouble again?"

The last time I beat up some scalpers, I really had the audacity to come here to find trouble, but these gangsters are either squatting in prisons, or going down the Yangtze River to feed the bastards. Gui, having got involved with Duke Baoguo, Song Qingshu is still afraid of those unworthy local snakes?
Of course, this is something to be seen. There is also a "cadre ward" on a floor in his Yingtian Hospital.

Not many people dared to come to the industries of the Lianghuai General Army to make troubles. Even the scholars from the Donglin Party and the Fushe did not dare to smash the hospital. After all, when everyone is sick, they are fine for a while. His hands were still itchy, this time he heard the commotion downstairs, and he stormed down the stairs in a fit of anger.

"Ah? The dean is here!"

A large group of young nurses surrounded the front desk, and I don't know who shouted and whimpered.

"Dean!"

Very cautiously, this little girl who was only eighteen also saluted Song Qingshu timidly.

Song Qingshu was quite disappointed, he didn't come here to find fault with his feelings, but a foreigner with a foreign nose, covering his mouth, came to see a doctor, and he was a priest in the Malegoby mission, the nurses had never seen blue eyes , the foreigners with hair all over their faces gathered around to watch.

It's enough for the boss to be Song Qingshu, and he feels disappointed when no one comes to smash the shop!Looking at the foreign nose, Song Qingshu greeted him listlessly.

"Oh, it's Mr. Hudson. What a coincidence."

"Oh! God bless, it's actually a handsome man!"

The foreigner probably thought that meeting Song Qingshu would be free. Hearing Song Qingshu's feeble greeting, the big nose immediately grinned, revealing a mouthful of blood-red teeth...
