Chapter 572 "Your Excellency the Marquis, we are all nobles, and I came with an attitude to solve problems!"
”Sir Hono was angry at this time, since Columbus discovered the New World, the Spanish Empire began to colonize the New World of America, and the Inca Empire and in a very short period of time wiped out the various empires established by the Indians, establishing extremely large colonies.Spain will never be reasonable when they can beat each other.But the point is that now they don't have the confidence to defeat the Eastern Fleet of the Ming Empire.In order to avoid the word count, the words paraphrased by the translator are not written.Quan Xu looked at Sir Huo Nuo and said lightly: "No one wants to quarrel, look at what kind of attitude you have?"
Is this a problem-solving attitude?
”"Okay, Your Excellency the Marquis, tell me about the requirements of the Ming Empire, the compensation you just mentioned, what kind of compensation do you want?"
Hono learned that the Portuguese had only spent about twenty pounds of silver, or about two hundred and forty-four taels of silver, to obtain the right to stop in Macao.In the fourteenth year of Jiajing (1535), the commander Huang Qing accepted bribes and asked the city to move to Entrenchment, and paid 20,000 taels of silver.In fact, this is not a traitor to the country, because it is not clear that when the Portuguese are in Macao, they should pay taxes or pay taxes.If this counts as a traitor, if there is one of China's economic development zones, what is that......
Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Portugal had no extrajudicial privileges in the Ming Dynasty, in the original history, Sun Yuanhua also recruited the Portuguese to train gunners and build artillery, until the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the Portuguese also organized a mercenary army, a total of 119 people, to Beijing to help the Ming Dynasty resist the invasion of Jiannu.It was not until 1887 that Portugal and the Qing Dynasty government signed the draft treaty of the Sino-Portuguese Conference and the Sino-Portuguese Treaty of Peace and Commerce, and formally occupied Macao through the formalities of diplomatic documents, until December 20, 1999, when China resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Macao.Spain is now sunset, and there are only more than 4,000 Spaniards in the whole Philippines, including the Dutch and the Portuguese, and if they can get the right to trade, the Spanish Empire does not care about this land."
Kill to pay for your life, pay off your debts!"
Sir Hono listened to this and said, "In any case, the dead are already dead, and even God cannot bring them back to life, but the problem is that it must be solved, right?"
”Quan Xu deliberately looked at Yuan Zongdi beside him and said, "Our soldiers are killed, how much is the pension?"
”"According to the regulations on the bereavement of the whole family, the family of the fallen soldier will receive a one-time salary of 36 months, as well as the immediate family members, including grandparents, parents, parents-in-law, brothers and sisters, and the whole family relatives will be exempted from land tax for five years!"
In fact, the land tax in Liaodong has been abolished, and the people will only pay the tax when they sell grain.Of course, the grain market transactions have been monopolized by Quanji.The gentry could not influence the price of grain in Liaodong.This calculation was a bit complicated for Sir Hono, so he calculated it and simply gave up: "How much is needed?"
”Quan Xu said lightly: "According to the minimum standard, taking ordinary soldiers as an example, five taels or six cents is good if it is six taels, and thirty-six months is good if it is three hundred taels of silver."200,000 people, that's 60,000,000 taels of silver!
”"Sixty million taels of silver?"
Huo No's expression changed suddenly, he didn't understand, with the Spanish one-peso double-column silver coin (weighing 27.03 grams) ninety percent color, basically the exchange of Da Ming's silver is almost three to two.That is to say, 60 million taels of silver, that is 90 million pesos.His expression was a little angry: "It's impossible for our Spanish Empire to accept such a high pension ...... you" Without waiting for Huo Nuo to finish speaking, Quan Xu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, it's not done, by the way, there are still five years of taxes, a common person is a hundred acres of land, a family has seven or eight brothers, plus grandparents, parents-in-law, count twenty people, this is two thousand acres of land, you need to pay taxes of twenty taels of silver every year, five years is one hundred taels of silver, so calculated, that is eight thousand and twenty thousand silver!"
”Huo Nuo's eyes widened: "You Da Ming need a pension of four hundred taels of silver alone?"
”"For you Spain, that's four hundred taels of silver!"
Quan Xu didn't even blush when he lied, and in fact, the bereavement pension of the whole family soldiers did not have four hundred taels of silver.Sir Hono suddenly erupted: "You are shameless blackmail!
Four hundred taels of silver for a person, why don't you grab it?
”Rob?
It's much faster than snatching money.Quan Xu smiled: "Don't give it if it's too expensive!"
”Sir Hono let out a long sigh.Although he doesn't know Chinese, he also knows that the situation is stronger than people, and people are under the roof and have to bow their heads.If the Spanish Armada is still there, he doesn't want to talk nonsense with Quanxu here?
He is not a naïve person, and he knows that Quan Xu must have the following: "And then?
”Quan Xu said lightly: "Since the fourteenth year of Jiajing, that is, since your 1535 AD, you have looted a large amount of gold, silver, copper, and other valuable resources from Macao, Taiwan, Penghu, Luzon, Malacca and other places, as well as a large amount of timber, spices, fish and shrimp, and grain, which are not too much, just pay three or five billion silver for compensation!"
”Sir Hono's face turned red: "This is the funniest joke I have ever heard, Lord Marquis, you have no sincerity in solving the problem at all!"
”Spain's need for silver is not strong, and if Quan Xu asks them to pay three or five million taels of silver, the Dutch East India Company and the British East India Company will come out casually.The Dutch still have to pay Zheng Zhilong a protection fee of 120,000 francs, which is more than 1 million taels of silver, and it is every year, not a one-time payment.Silver, for the Spaniards who discovered silver in the Americas, was a precious metal, and it was remarkable to dig a few more boats from Mexico.However, Quan Xu opened his mouth for 3.5 billion taels of silver, which is a naked refusal of peace talks and a plan to solve the problem by force.Sir Hono thought about it, but in the end he was still unwilling to tear his face: "Luzon, you have recaptured Taiwan, we don't pray to come back, if we are willing to make some compensation in other aspects, is your Ming Empire willing to give up these demands?"
”Look, that's political hooliganism.If anyone dares to say to Quan Xu, if you give me three hundred million taels of silver, I will forgive you, Quan Xu will immediately flip the table and do it.Sir Hono didn't blush, didn't breathe, and directly made another request.This solution, needless to say, they are also cubs selling Ye Tian is not distressed."
For example?""
We have discovered a new continent, I don't know how big the area is, anyway, we sailed along the coastline for half a month, and we still haven't found the end!"
Sir Hono looked at Quan Xu with a smile and said, "If it can be exchanged, this continent will belong to His Excellency the Marquis!"
”Fuck, at this time, Australia has been discovered by the Spaniards?
In fact, Quan Xu does not know this history, in fact, Australia was discovered by the Spanish navigator Torres more than 20 years ago."
I don't want to!"
Quan Xu smiled: "Australia doesn't need you to send it, we can grab it!"
”"Your Excellency Marquis, this is really not an attitude to solve the problem, your requirements are too high!"
Sir Hono said: "We can make appropriate concessions, if the money is not much, then the Ming will also end this dispute in this way......"
"Hehe, if you want to solve the problem with money, then 300 million, not 500 million!"
”Quan Xu smiled: "Actually, 300 million taels of silver is really not much, that is, more than 10,000 tons, for you, it is nothing!"
”"Well, I shouldn't have come here!"
Huo Nuo raised his face and said: "Farewell, I will never accept this kind of arrogant and violent insult, even if the Ming Dynasty is strong, the Spanish Empire must take all means to protect its interests." ”"What do you want to do?"
Quan Xu smiled faintly: "This is an ultimatum?
”"Our Spanish Combined Fleet still has the strength to fight!"
Huo Nuo looked at Quan Xu: "Even if the family is bankrupt, I will send an army to protect our own interests by force!"
”"Please!"
Sir Hono rode his ship Victoria and left the range of his family.Helena looked at Victoria's fading sail shadow, and said with some puzzlement: "Quan, I don't understand, Sir Hono is already willing to give in, why don't you accept the proposal for peace?"
”"Do you really think they're willing to settle this issue peacefully?"

Quan Xu sneered: "You wait and see, they are just underprepared and under-intelligent!"
”In fact, Quan Xu's idea is that on the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly?
If he didn't catch up with the Age of Discovery, then forget it, and now that he has caught up, then what else is the sun never setting on the empire?"
This is a very serious problem!"
Helena looked at Quan Xu and said seriously: "I can't deny that your strength is very strong, stronger than many countries in Europe, you have more than 300,000 soldiers who can fight well, but there are dozens of countries in Europe, once they are united, their strength is still very huge, aren't you afraid of causing a big war similar to the Crusades?"
That is not a good thing for Daming!
”"I've decided!""
Are you sure?"
Quan Xu laughed: "Of course, any declining empire is the same, the Spanish Empire has decayed, and their European hegemony has been seriously threatened, don't worry, whether it is the Dutch or the British, they are all scum in front of our whole army!"
”"Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!"
Helena was a little anxious: "In case, they provoke a war, it will not end easily!"
”"Why are you helping Da Ming?"
Helena said: "I'm not helping Daming, I'm not helping you, our Venice city-state republic is the enemy of the world in Europe, and it is not easy to meet a potential ally, I am not like you into the bottomless abyss!"
