Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1130

[Chapter 1130 Two Systems]

“Since this is the case, there will be no obstacles between us and Persia.”

Newman initially agreed to use Song Yuan for the transaction, and Guan Tong smiled.

Next, Guan Tong asked Tianzhu’s attendants to prepare two cups of coffee and cigars produced in Luzon for the two of them.

As the five countries in the southeast and the countries in the southern region restore order from the chaos of war, production in each country is gradually recovering.

In the trade with Dasong, they can only use a large amount of raw materials and local specialty products in exchange for Dasong’s industrial products.

In addition to Dasong’s official cigarette workshops in Luzon, there are also many private cigarette workshops. Dasong also imports shredded tobacco directly from Luzon to set up a cigarette factory.

Jakarta has coffee trees brought from the Black Continent by the Western colonists, and they provide Dasong with coffee beans.

At present, these objects are slowly entering the daily life of Dasong people.

So it’s no surprise that he entertained Newman with these.

While the two were chatting and admiring the sea view not far away, Guan Tong asked, “It is said that a kind of black kerosene will emerge from your land?”

“Yes, I didn’t expect the general to know our Persian country very well. “Newman laughed, “This kind of thing catches fire at once, and we will use it to make cupping pots when we fight.

” The land is not suitable for farming.”

“Hahaha…you are wrong, these black things are called oil, they are not only a burden, but also a kind of wealth, we are in great need of oil at the moment, if you collect this oil and sell it to us , can be exchanged for Songyuan like gold.”

Newman also laughed, and he shook his head, “General Guan Tong, this must be a joke, what use is that thing other than burning fire, and even if it is used to burn fire, the smoke is special Big, not as good as firewood.”

“This is not a joke. I am serious. This matter is specially ordered by our emperor. If you are willing to sell, our merchant ship will arrive at your Persia immediately. Next, we can negotiate a reasonable price.” Guan Tong Said.

Seeing Guan Tong’s serious expression, Newman believed it.

However, he is not very concerned about this oil trade, because even the natives of the West who want to dig out a mouse hole have never had the idea of using this kind of black oil.

Therefore, he doesn’t think this thing is very valuable.

Since Da Song needs it, they can just treat it as a dispensable small trade.

So he said, “Yes, I will arrange this matter when I return to Persia.”

“Great.” Guan Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the oil price, he is not worried because Da Song is the only buyer now.

In this kind of exclusive business, the buyers have the final say, and they will keep the price of oil very low.

Of course, they are not worried that the Persian Congress will take the opportunity to raise prices.

Because Persia is not the only country with oil reserves near the Middle Gulf.

After another three days in Calcutta, Newman returned to Persia.

Guan Tong also ordered a steamship to send the preliminary agreement reached to Yancheng.

After eight days of sailing, this agreement reached Zhao Xu’s table.

After Zhao Xu read the agreement, he didn’t directly read it. Instead, he called all the nine cabinet ministers to the Imperial Study Room to discuss the agreement together.

“Generally speaking, there is no problem. There is only one question. Will the trade standards between Persia and Dasong be based on the standards with Eastern countries? Or create another set of standards?” Ma Yuan put on the reading glasses on his chest, earnestly Read the contract.

A few years ago, he felt that he couldn’t see things that were close to him clearly.

For this reason, I once wanted to resign and go home to retire.

But I didn’t expect Yancheng to establish an eye factory, and there was such a thing as reading glasses.

Afterwards his eye problem resolved.

“What Mr. Ma Ge said is that the relationship between our eastern countries is special. It belongs to the tributary system, and it also has this foundation in history. The eastern countries are not very repulsive, but are willing to be protected by Da Song.”

“But the middle-earth The country is different, if the Middle-earth countries are allowed to obey the same rules as the East-earth countries, I’m afraid they will think that they will also become a vassal state of Da Song.” Liu Fu said slowly.

Zhao Xu nodded upon hearing this.

After the battle of Tianzhu, he was thinking about this matter.

Just as Liu Fu said, he successfully restored Dasong’s tributary system in Dongtu because of this foundation in history.

Dasong has always been the kingdom of heaven to the Eastern countries.

Moreover, Dasong people have continued to immigrate out for thousands of years, and there are Dasong survivors in many southern countries.

After Dasong drove the Western natives away, these Dasong survivors became more active, and even jumped directly to the noble class because of Dasong.

They also control the politics of the countries in the southeast and southern regions, and they are very friendly.

Coupled with Dasong’s cultural transformation of these countries, it can be said that although these countries are not Dasong’s territory, they are better than Dasong’s territory.

But Middle-earth is obviously different, and the gap is relatively deeper.

He believes that it is absolutely impossible to intervene in this area like the Western natives, otherwise the exchange will only be a long-term security war.

As for trade, as Ma Yuan and Liu Fu said, the trade rules of Dongtu cannot be applied.

The eastern countries made a lot of concessions to Dasong in terms of trade, and Dasong naturally favored the eastern countries in the transfer of steam technology.

Even if Dasong exports steam technology to Persia, there are restrictions, and it will not be equal to the Eastern countries.

Otherwise, other Eastern countries will definitely feel dissatisfied.

Therefore, he plans to establish a global system outside the Eastern Turkmenistan trade system.

This set of trading system will not only target Persia in the future, but also target any country that has established trade relations with Dasong.

As long as you join this trading system, you can enjoy the convenience of the trading system.

In terms of relations, the countries and Dasong will also be more equal.

Of course, if Persia is willing to give up some key interests like the Eastern Turkmenistan, he does not mind allowing Persia to integrate into the Eastern Turkmenistan trade system.

Thinking of this, he said, “Since this is the case, let’s start from scratch and start building another trading system from now on. Countries that join the trading system can enjoy preferential tariffs that are higher than those of Eastern countries but lower than normal tariffs. As for what goods they charge Tariffs, your cabinet asks the Department of Commerce to formulate them.”
