Ragus showed a smile that every man understands, and the two parties continued the discussion happily.
The next day Ragus asked the Tsar for instructions.
The Tsar said that it was not appropriate to give Akira the area designated as the city, but if it was the area around the city, there would be no problem.
As for the lease period, it is even simpler.
If the Rakshasa people defeat the Ming Dynasty one day, not only will the concession be gone, but the Rakshasa people will also take back the places that the Ming Dynasty has occupied.
So the two sides signed a Ming-Luo Friendship Treaty.
In the treaty, it was first stated that the Ming Dynasty and the Rakshasa State were friendly countries and that no more wars would occur between the two sides.
The one hundred kilometers of area on both sides of the Volga River occupied by the Ming Dynasty is the permanent territory of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no dispute.
In order to ensure respect for the Ming Dynasty, the Rakshasa people were not allowed to have forts with more than 500 troops stationed within 100 kilometers of the Ming Dynasty's national border, and a total of 5,000 troops were not allowed to be stationed within this range.
From the city of Alashov, now called Jixi City, to the border between the Rakshasa Kingdom and Poland, the Rakshasa Congress set aside 200 square kilometers of land as concessions on the outskirts of ten cities, leasing it to the Ming people for a period of two hundred years.
Daming was responsible for the construction and management of the concession, and all administrative rights belonged to Daming.
The Ming Dynasty did not need to pay rent for the first hundred years of the concession, and for the next hundred years, the rent was based on the taxes of the Rakshasa people in the concession.
The war between the Ming Dynasty and the Rakshasa Kingdom was a misunderstanding, but the Ming Dynasty did suffer great losses, so the Rakshasa people generously paid the Ming Dynasty fifteen million taels of silver, which was paid in thirty years.
The people of the Ming Dynasty built a railway in the territory of Rakshasa to connect the Ming Dynasty and other European countries.
The Ming Dynasty has jurisdiction over the area of 200 steps on both sides of the railway in Rakshasa.
If the railway in the territory of Rakshasa is damaged, the government of Rakshasa must be responsible.
Pay compensation and hand over the responsible person.
The cost for the Rakshasa people to use this railway will be no more than that for other Europeans, and no more than twice the cost for the Ming people, but the railway will not be used to transport troops and weapons.
Through this treaty, the Tsar finally got back the land lost in the Second Ming-Luo War, but the land in the Volga River Basin legally became the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Although 15 million taels of silver must be compensated to the Ming Dynasty, after being divided into 30 years, it will still cost 500,000 taels per year.
However, the Ming Dynasty promised that all Rakshasa people would be used for the construction of the railways, and the daily wages of strong laborers would not be less than half a penny.
The construction of the Ming Concession naturally required the hiring of a large number of Rakshasa people.
In this way, the Rakshasa people, in turn, could make a fortune by selling their labor force.
Ragus and the Czar said that if the Ming Dynasty's railways and concessions were repaired, at least 50 million taels of silver would need to be paid to the Rakshasa people, so in fact Get up, the Rakshasa people are making a lot of money.
The Mingluo Friendship Treaty was sent to the capital for decision by the emperor.
Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with the treaty and immediately approved the use of the seal.
The surveyors from the Ministry of Railways also quickly came to Yuji City.
According to the emperor's request, they first built a railway between Yuji City and Kazan City to connect the two places, and built a large number of fortresses near the railway to protect the railway.
Defend Ming’s new national borders.
Lu Xiangsheng received new orders and began negotiations with the Poles, asking the Poles to allow them to build a railway to France.
The Poles did not occupy territory by the Ming Dynasty, and were friendly allies with the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty gave extremely favorable conditions: Poland's loan owed to the Ming Dynasty could be interest-free, and the repayment time was extended from the original ten years to twenty years. , if the Polish government needs it, Daming can also lend an interest-free long-term loan of five million yuan.
The maximum repayment can be up to fifty years, and it only needs to use Ukrainian grain as a guarantee.
After the railway is repaired, Poland can use this railway to transport troops and weapons, and the cost of transporting all materials will not be higher than the cost of the Rakshasa people, nor higher than the cost of other European countries.
These conditions suddenly hit the hearts of the Polish people.
The biggest problem in Poland now is the lack of money, and they are extremely wary of the Rakshasa people.
With the Ming Dynasty's money, they have more weapons, can recruit more Cossack cavalry, and have more chances of winning the war with the Rakshasa people.
What's more, the Ming Dynasty allowed the Poles to use railways to transport troops, which was equivalent to an increase in Poland's military strength by several percent at once, and could be deployed to various places more flexibly.
This can be said to be decisive for the outcome of the war between the two countries.
As for the guarantee of Ukrainian food, it just means that Ukrainian food should be sold to the Ming Dynasty first.
If there is surplus food, it will be sold to whomever, and there is no problem at all.
So the railway construction plan continued all the way to the border between Poland and Prussia.
And Zhu Youxiao is not ready to negotiate with the Habsburg dynasty, Prussia and other states now, because it is obviously not possible to build the railway here in a short time, and the Thirty Years War is still going on, and the results will not come out until , there is no guarantee that Ming’s negotiations with them will be implemented in the end.
The Thirty Years' War has now completed its Swedish phase, with the Peace of Prague making the Habsburgs now the victors, but soon France will enter the war, and the addition of Denmark and Sweden will throw Europe into chaos.
Zhu Youxiao felt that in the Rakshasa Kingdom, which was far away from the center of Europe, watching Europeans killing heads while looking for opportunities, this should be the best response and maximize the interests of Ming Dynasty.
The Thirty Years' War would formally end the Habsburg dynasty's dream of a unified monarchy, leaving European countries with de jure independence, while the German federations would continue to fragment until Prussia unified it into a single country.

At this time of chaos in Europe, it was a good opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to fish in troubled waters.
The exchanges with European countries were a chess game that had been laid out long ago.
Defeating the Rakshasa and making good friends with Poland and Sweden gave the Ming Dynasty the opportunity to observe Europe at close range.
Chaos, and find the right opportunity to intervene in this melee.
As the emperor's most trusted minister, Lu Xiangsheng started his European trip with Dai Chunfeng and several interpreters after negotiating with Poland about railway construction.
Zhu Youxiao gave him great power.
As long as it was beneficial to Ming Dynasty, he could make full decisions and just report it afterwards.
Looking for opportunities in these troubled times is actually not a very difficult task for Lu Xiangsheng, who is both civil and military, not to mention that he also has Dai Chunfeng, whom the emperor calls a cunning fox, as his assistant.
Lianheng, wooing the countries that were against the Habsburgs, and attacking Spain and other countries that were cooperating with the Habsburgs, made the Thirty Years War begin to deviate from its original history, and it went further and further away.
Of course, there is a book dedicated to recording their deeds, so I won’t go into details here
