The Reborn Lady is Farming

Chapter 928: Confuse

  Qi Haoran frowned and said, "You need supplies. Guangzhou does not have a seaport. In addition to Guangzhou, there are also ports such as Guanghaiwei and Huizhou. You don't have to worry about your supplies."

Andre smiled and said: "This kind of port is too busy, and some things are too busy. I want to ask for a small port that only accepts our Spanish fleet to dock and supply. My lord, most of the business people doing business with your country are Chinese businessmen. , we are just thinking of some discounts.”

Seeing Qi Haoran's calm expression, Andre continued: "We don't dare to ask for too big an island. There is a small fishing village called Haojingao in Guangzhou port. I wonder if the prince can give us that small fishing village. Let their ships moor here for supplies, and their crews to live here."

   Qi Haoran froze in his heart, and said with a solemn face: "Master An, I have no tradition of enfeoffing territories in my dynasty, not to mention, you are not my dynasty's meritorious deeds, let alone give you land."

   Although Qi Haoran does not understand the maritime trade business, he is particularly sensitive to land ownership. Now they and Dajin Xixia can fight for an inch of territory, how could they easily cede a village to a foreigner?

  Andre hurriedly said: "We can pay the rent lease."

Qi Haoran rolled his eyes and said, "If the crew members of your country want to settle in Daqi, they can also buy or lease houses in the city of Guangzhou. As for the supply of ships, if the port of Guangzhou is not up to the task, the king and the court will make a deal and ask for more. Open a port."

  Andre saw Qi Haoran's insistence, so he could only change the topic, "The matter of tariff reduction..."

   "You don't need to mention this, the tariffs of this dynasty are all jointly formulated by the imperial court and the Ministry of Household, and this king does not have the right to reduce or exempt."

  Andre didn't believe it. He had been in contact with several officials. They all said that as long as the prince was willing to speak up, tax reduction or exemption would be a matter of the other party's words. It is said that the emperor of this dynasty was very fond of his younger brother.

  Andre wanted to ask again, but Hutou became impatient. Didn’t this person come to explain the sea style to them and let them gain insight? He asked anxiously, "Master An, is your home far from here?"

The child stared at him with a pair of round eyes. Andre, who was interrupted, was a little impatient, but out of the corner of his eyes he saw Qi Haoran looking at him softly. He hurriedly took a solemn attitude and smiled. Yingying said to Hutou: "It's very far from here. It will take about seventy days or nearly three months to sail around day and night."

   The little lion came up to Hutou to break his fingers and figured it out, opened his mouth and said, "It's been a long time."

   "Do all the people in your place look the same as you?" Little Bear also came over and asked curiously, "They all have the same yellow hair, white skin, and blue eyes as you..."

  Andre laughed, nodded and said, "Of course, just like you all have black hair and yellow skin, our country is also full of white skin and yellow hair."

   "No, we also have people like you in Guangzhou City, so are there any people like us in your place?" asked the little lion.

  Andre shook his head and said, "No, the merchants we travel there are all from our continent, and there are no merchants from your country."

   "Why not?" Xiao An asked curiously, "You are a businessman, and they are also businessmen. Don't you have a lot of gems, spices and glass in your place? Why don't they go to your country to buy them?"

  Andre said proudly: "It may be because your country just opened the sea ban, your ships are not strong enough, you don't know the route, and you don't have a chart, so you can't reach my country."

   "But aren't you going back to China? Can't they just follow you?" Little Bear didn't think this was a problem.

Andre choked, and Xiao An asked thoughtfully: "You just asked my fourth uncle to give you a special harbour to berth, then if our ships go to your country, can your emperor also give it to us? A harbour?"

  Andre laughed embarrassedly: "Little Young Master, I'm just a businessman, I can't be my king's master, and I can't even guess what he means."

  Xiao An nodded thoughtfully, "So we have to find a prince like my fourth uncle, or pay respect to your emperor directly?"

   "Is their emperor also white-skinned and yellow-haired like them?" Hutou wrinkled his nose and said, "That must be very ugly. I think father and mother are the best looking."

  The little lion took a peek at Andre and nodded in agreement.

   Xiao An slapped them on the head one by one, and scolded them: "Don't change the subject, we have to ask more, and we will know how to make the most money in the future when doing sea trade business."

   The little lion and the tiger were shocked, and they hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "We also want to do sea trade business?"

Xiao An nodded solemnly, "My father said that the sea trade business is very profitable, this time the Zhou family's ship returns, after all the costs and taxes, we will make at least three times as much. My father said that 30% of the profit in doing business is very high. already."

   Tiger head and star eyes asked: "How much is the triple?"

   Xiao An looked at him with contempt, "You didn't listen carefully when Mr. lectured, three times is three hundred percent."

   Tiger's head opened his mouth wide, I don't remember when Mr. said this.

   "So we will also do sea trade business in the future," Xiao An abacused, "Let Big Brother Taosheng be the captain and Big Brother Pinglang be the boatman."

   Little Bear floated over and interjected, "Let Heizi build a boat for you. His carpentry is very good now."

  Heizi is a student of Baoxiong College in Zhuangzili, Lingnan. He chose woodworking as his future development goal and is now working hard to become an excellent carpenter.

  The three little boys nodded, agreeing, and asked him to be cheaper.

The voices of several children were not low. Andre and Qi Haoran listened to the whole process. The difference is that Qi Haoran knew that these boys would definitely do what they said, and was worried that they would all go overseas when they grew up. Lie only thought it was a joke from a child. After all, the biggest bear was only over seven years old, and the youngest tiger head and little lion were only four years old. If he took it seriously, he would be crazy.

   The four children temporarily negotiated a covenant, and Xiao An turned around and continued to pester Andre to ask, "Then do your country's ports charge us taxes?"

  Andre said with a smile: "Naturally, tariffs are an important income for a country."

   Qi Haoran raised his eyebrows. Since tariffs are an important income for a country, why do you want me to reduce or exempt tariffs?

  Qi Haoran calmly stepped back to both sides and smiled at Andre: "Master An, please help me with some children, I'll take a look in the cabin."

  Andre was so happy to have a good relationship with the little sons, he nodded again and again, "My lord, let's go, I'll bring some little sons."

When Qi Haoran turned around, he gave the four children a wink, the little bear's eyes shifted, and he focused on the little lion and Xiao An, and Xiao An quietly pinched the tiger's head, pulling Andrea to ask questions. stand up.

   The little bear was busy pushing the little lion out, standing behind Andre, and asked a few questions from time to time.
