Nats agreed: "Please rest assured, Imperial Envoy, we will send a special navigator to follow you.
Don't worry about navigation."
Sun Chengzong shook his head: "No, no, no, we are unwilling to hand this life-and-death issue into the hands of others, so we need your navigation skills to compare with our stargazing skills."
Natz shook his head.
Navigation is the most important technology in navigation.
If the Chinese master this thing, the Dutch may not be able to do anything.
Sun Chengzong began to be persuasive: "Special envoy, we just want to verify whether our stargazing technique is correct.
You have not agreed to such a small request, which makes me doubt your sincerity."
Natz looked at Sun Chengzong uncertainly, trying to get some clues from his face.
Sun Chengzong said sincerely: "The special envoy should know that our Ming Dynasty has always banned the sea.
It was not until the Longqing period that the sea was opened.
We don't We can meet our needs by trading everywhere, but our emperor actually wants to ban the sea."
Natz thought for a while and said, "This is a big matter.
I have to go back and ask for instructions.
I don't know what else the Imperial Envoy wants.
Tell me all of it so that I can report it to the Governor."
Sun Chengzong asked Chen Shiying who was next to him: "You have been to Batavia.
Can you see what else Hongmao has that is better than us?"
Chen Shiying knew what he meant, so he replied: "The Dutch ship's artillery is extremely powerful, and their firecrackers are also very good.
It seems that we can let them send us some imitations."
So Sun Chengzong said to Natz: "Send some artillery and firecrackers as well.
Send a hundred artillery pieces and five hundred firecrackers.
What about, also send the manufacturing technology."
Natz shook his head and said: "I can make the decision without asking the governor.
I can send you some artillery and firecrackers, but I can't give you the manufacturing technology."
Sun Chengzong smiled and said: "Without technology, what if the artillery and muskets you sent wear out?
Then they will become scrap metal."
Natz knew that the matchlock guns used by the Ming army were weak and had a slow rate of fire, and that they did not use any powerful artillery in the battle with the Ming army.
If the artillery and gun manufacturing technology were really given to the Ming army, then the Ming Dynasty would The terrifying population base will soon make the Dutch have no advantage against the Ming army.
Naz said: "There is really no way to do this.
The navigation technique can still be discussed, but this one cannot be discussed."
Sun Chengzong smiled and said: "Don't worry, maybe your governor will think it's okay.
If you are willing, we can allocate a piece of land for you, follow the example of Macau, and use it as a place for your trade.
How about it?"
Natz was very determined: "We really want to have a fixed trading place, but I really can't make the decision on military issues.
Please forgive me, the Imperial Envoy."
Sun Chengzong saw that his tone was slightly relaxed, and he understood that he was not completely incapable of making decisions.
He should be able to accept the conditions he proposed, but in fact, the artillery and muskets of the Ming army were no worse than those of the Dutch, so he said: "Then if the firearms manufacturing technology cannot be sent, the tax will be higher, so how about 80%?"
Natz replied: "Your Majesty, if we calculate it at 80%, wouldn't it be more expensive than the price we received outside?
Why do we need to trade with the Ming Dynasty?
We can just receive the goods overseas.
No, it's 50% at most."
The last time Sun Chengzong tried to fight for the Liaodong management strategy, he was defeated by Wang Zaijin, and he often felt regretful in his heart.
But from that incident, he knew that what the emperor wanted was to do practical things and fight for interests.
Although it would be outrageous to say that the emperor of a great country spends his money like a businessman, he also knows the difficulties of being an emperor.

Just like the Capital University, the first year's tuition and living expenses are free of charge.
Given the emperor's high requirements, Calculated, one year's expenditure is very considerable.
Where the money comes from, of course, it depends on the ministers to get money from everywhere.
As long as they can get money, they can satisfy the emperor.
He had done his homework, so he said calmly: "If you can indeed get some goods through smuggling and robbery, can you guarantee the quantity?
Can you guarantee that no one will resist?
Besides, we don't want to pay attention to you now.
If we really send out a large army, we can wipe out your power in Penghu in one day, and then you will have to settle the accounts for robbing merchant ships. " In fact, whether the Dutch are taking goods from Xu Suxin's hands or robbing merchant ships, the biggest problem is quantity.
Shipping Chinese goods back to Europe makes at least ten times more profit, while taking goods from Xu Suxin's hands actually costs up to six times.
Xu Suxin took away 70% of the money, so they didn't really care about the tax money.
As long as the amount was sufficient, the tax money was really just a drizzle compared to the money earned.
Of course, Natz believed that Sun Chengzong's one-day demolition was just to save face, and he would not expose him: "As long as the imperial envoy can give us a place to concentrate on business, the tax can also be negotiated, not as good as 60% Come on, everyone will be better off.”
Sun Chengzong said: "Not only will we set up a place to trade with you, but we will also protect your safety.
For such a good thing, 80% of it is not too much for you.
If the special envoy does not agree to such conditions, then please come back. ” Natz had already approved the 80% tax rate in his heart.
Since Sun Chengzong was so insistent now, he just went along with the flow: "Your Majesty, since you must insist, then let's follow your request.
The tax rate is set at 80%, but we don't need you.
To protect, we will build a city to protect ourselves like Macau.”
Seeing his agreement, Sun Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief: "The defense of Macau is the responsibility of the Francois themselves, but I, the Ming Dynasty, are responsible for all the management of the city, so we will still follow this method for you Dutch people, unless There is not a single Chinese in your city, so who are you going to do business with?”
Natz thought for a moment, there were Chinese people in the city, so it was understandable that the Chinese would set up government management, and the same was true in Macau, so he acquiesced.
Natz added: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy, I don't know which area is planned for us Dutch people."
Sun Chengzong smiled and said: "Don't worry, we still have something to do.
Last time you plundered a total of 158 of us from the sea off Zhangpu.
I don't know how you are going to deal with this matter."
Natz said: "We will send back the stolen Ming people, please don't worry, Imperial Envoy."
Sun Chengzong lowered his face and said: "Is that all I need to do if I just send them back lightly?
Of course you have to send them back, and at the same time you have to compensate them."
Natz replied: "We are willing to compensate them for their losses.
Please give the Imperial Envoy instructions on how to compensate them
