Chapter 353 No one understands China better than me
"It turns out that Lord Earl and this Lord Zhang are because of the drug case..."
Hun Raymond was a little annoyed, if it wasn't for the random person sitting across from him that could make him unable to stay in Daxia, he would definitely drive him out.
"Damn...God, I'm not talking about the two adults. These days, those vicious Tiqi will come to the store every three days to ask, and I can't do business anymore."
In the eyes of ordinary people, Hongyiti of the Dragon Guard is the existence that can stop crying at night.Tiqi appears in this Western Treasure Hall every now and then, is the business not bad?
Jia Cong comforted the irritable red hair... Hun Raymond: "Mr. Raymond, calm down, calm down. As long as Mr. Raymond tells Ben Bo what he knows, those Ti Qi will not bother you again is you."
"Really?"
"Exactly!"
Raymond felt that Jia Cong's words were like the gospel given by God, but after the surprise, his face was full of regret: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Earl. In fact, I don't know much. I have given it to the Daxia government before. The person who made it clear. But those Tiqi still don’t believe it, Lord Earl, what I said is true, alas~”
"Calm down, calm down, Raymond, Bember believes what you say. But..."
Jia Cong believed that what Raymond told the Dragon Guard was true, but it was definitely not the whole story.
The smuggled hibiscus ointment carried by the sea-going ship was not found out, and it still passed through the Quanzhou Shipping Department's pass.
There are two things that are certain. First, there is a problem with the officials of the Quanzhou Shipping Department. Second, it is the terrifying power of the black hand behind it.
No matter what it is, it should be known to a mere Hun Raymond.And it was such a coincidence that after such a big case happened in the provincial halls, Hu En Raymond came into the eyes of the Dragon Guards.
What a coincidence!
Jia Cong's originally mild eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at Raymond's blue eyes.
"Mr. Raymond, how did you learn that someone from the Quanzhou Shipyard was smuggling hibiscus ointment?"
"Of course I saw it accidentally..."
"Then they are really brave enough. They smuggle prohibited items so openly that Mr. Raymond can easily see them."
Jia Cong suddenly changed the subject: "Are you also from the Netherlands?"
"how come?"
Raymond was taken aback by Jia Cong's sudden question, he quickly shook his head and replied, "How could a businessman from the Netherlands do something that violated the laws of Great Xia? It's a businessman from Tianzhu."
"A businessman from Tianzhu? Huh...Mr. Raymond thinks that Ben Bo doesn't know anything about the West? You'd better think it over before you talk."
I'm afraid Ti Qi of the Dragon Guards wouldn't believe this sentence!
If the merchants in Tianzhu had the ability to build a machine that crossed the sea to the Central Plains, would they be beaten by Portugal and ceded territory to pay compensation?
You must know that in the current Mughal Empire (Tianzhu), most of the coast has become a colony of the Kingdom of Portugal.
If the conspiracy to lease the islands in Xiangshan County hadn't been discovered, it is estimated that a certain island in Daxia would have almost become a Portuguese colony.
Jia Cong sneered and stopped talking, just staring at Raymond coldly.
The atmosphere in the back hall of the shop gradually became colder and colder, and the red-burning stove could not make Raymond feel warm at all.
He knew that he could not afford to offend this Uncle Royal Cat.
If it was the rest of the officials in Daxia, although they looked down on him, the red-haired and blue-eyed "Xiyi", they would not embarrass him, a law-abiding citizen, out of concern for his reputation and face.
But Jia Cong was different, he was deeply loved by Emperor Daxia, even if he was hung on a big tree outside the shop and whipped, no one would bother him.
What's more, this father is back, that is the scariest thing.
In the summer, Raymond and his fleet passed through South Vietnam... no, it was the port of the Chief Commissioner of Cochin, and he witnessed a naval battle with his own eyes.
The navy of the Great Xia fought against the Portuguese colonial fleet, and it was the father of the uncle in front of him who personally ordered that all the captured Portuguese sailors beheaded...
Thinking of the brains that rolled to the ground in the port at that time, and the blood-stained sea water, Raymond couldn't help but shudder.
He couldn't help but want to avoid Jia Cong's eyes, and Jia Cong was more sure of his guess when he saw this.
"How do you think about it?"
Raymond opened his mouth, his original determination turned into hesitation.
Jia Cong increased his anger: "The earl who deceived the court, is Mr. Raymond ready to bear the wrath of the empire?"
"If I say so, may the Earl guarantee my safety?"
In the end, Raymond still failed to resist the pressure brought by Jia Cong. He has been in Daxia for three or four years, and he has been in Beijing for several months, so he knows Jia Cong's status clearly.
If you offend Jia Cong, you will offend the Emperor of Daxia.
After offending Emperor Daxia, can he continue to stay in the Eastern Empire?
Jia Cong knew that Raymond was relenting, and smiled slightly: "It seems that you know the person who smuggled hibiscus ointment, and he is very powerful. Tell me, as long as you have not committed any crime, Da Xia Lu will protect you. Threatened by others.”
Although Jia Cong's answer was not the guarantee Raymond had hoped for, the effect was similar.
Raymond glanced at Zhang Zhengju, who had always remained silent. Seeing Jia Cong nodding, he sighed and said, "Your Majesty, you should have guessed that they are from the Netherlands. But I am different from them. They are traitors to the Republic." , Spanish lackey..."
As soon as Jia Cong heard it, he understood that it was the restoration forces of the Netherlands.
"Oh? And the Dutch are loyal to the Habsburg family?"
"Your Earl is so knowledgeable that he knows about the Habsburg family..."
Raymond heaved a sigh of relief, as long as Jia Cong knew the Habsburg family, otherwise he was really afraid that the uncle would treat himself as one with those people in a fit of anger.
"Although the Republic has become independent, its strength is not what it used to be. But these rats hiding in the dark are supported by the Habsburg family. As a small businessman, I don't dare to fight against them..."
While selling miserably, Raymond explained the whole story to Jia Cong.
It turned out that Raymond knew that these Dutch restoration ships were carrying hibiscus paste, and it was someone from the Dutch East India Company who told him.
The Dutch East India Company forced Raymond to secretly tell the Daxia government about this, intending to borrow a knife to kill someone.At the same time, he also wanted to provoke the relationship between Daxia and Spain, intending to fight for the benefit of the fisherman, and plotting the Spanish colony in Luzon.
It's a pity that after all the calculations, they didn't expect that Jun Raymond had no interest in this kind of political struggle.
And as his business in Daxia grew bigger and bigger, and he yearned to live in the Celestial Empire for a long time, if he hadn't been forced by the people of the East India Company, he would have planned to swallow this matter into his stomach.
Fuck his East India Company!
Fuck his Federal Republic!
Fuck him Habsburgs!
The Eastern Empire is the real paradise, and the city of Amsterdam cannot even compare to the ordinary county town of Daxia!
Raymond gritted his teeth and sold the Dutch East India Company together. Not only did he tell Jia Cong that the East India Company plotted against Xiaoliuqiu (Taiwan Island), but he also sold the fact that the Netherlands supported the three countries in southern Xinjiang and provoked a war. clean.
"Those aristocrats from the East India Company are crazy. They don't even know the power of the Chinese Empire."
When Raymond talked about the greed and ignorance of the top management of the East India Company, he felt that he was the most sober and wise person in the Netherlands.
"No one knows China better than me!"
"The Celestial Dynasty is rich and powerful. It even speaks like a nomadic poet reciting beautiful poems. There is not even a decent gutter in the city of Amsterdam. It is so dirty that you can't help but want to vomit. Only the Celestial Dynasty is God-given heaven..."
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Jia Cong interrupted Raymond's exclamation: "The Celestial Dynasty was built by hard-working Chinese people for thousands of years. It has nothing to do with your God!"
Raymond's attitude became flattering, which was very different from his previous performance.
He said respectfully: "Your Majesty the Earl is right. When God comes, all the heavens will be amazed at the beauty and richness of this land."
"Continue talking about smuggling."
Jia Cong thought for a while and asked, "That is to say, when you entered the customs in Quanzhou, you already knew that there were hibiscus ointment on board, but you didn't report it to the government immediately..."
Raymond shook his head: "No, no, I once talked about it with the officials of the Quanzhou Shipping Department, and even spent 500 taels of silver to meet this official. Assassination, if it wasn't for my guards, I'm afraid the Earl would not have seen me."
Got it, officials and thieves colluded!
No wonder Raymond was unwilling to tell the truth before, because he was frightened by the assassination.
Just listen to Raymond continue to say: "When I came to the capital, neither the East India Company nor the lackeys of the Habsburg family came to see me again, so I thought the matter was over. I didn't expect those scholars to be fooled. Aidu, I know the attitude of the Celestial Empire towards aphrodisiac. There are only two places where this drug can come from..."
Zhang Zhengju, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth. He said quietly, "You mean, not only the Habsburgs may have done it, but your Netherlands East India Company may have done it too?"
Raymond shook his head again: "Although I hope it's the lackeys of the Habsburg family, according to my understanding of the nobles of the East India Company, these stupid lunatics are more likely to do this."
Zhang Zhengju asked suspiciously, "Why do you say that?"
"Greedy! Stupid! Self-righteous! My lord doesn't understand this group of self-proclaimed idiots. They have long been blindfolded by desire, and it's ridiculous to think that Daxia is the wildling they defeated before."
Raymond smiled wryly, with regret on his face: "At the beginning, our members in the parliament had repeatedly said not to provoke the lions of the east, but it was cowardly to be ridiculed by them. Ha... I'm afraid they still want to use these despicable means , let Great Xia civil strife, so that they can continue their previous plan."
"what's the plan?"
Zhang Zhengju continued to ask, his face became more serious.
Raymond replied: "The Nanyue Kingdom has captured one of your princes and noblemen, and they want to support him to split the Great Xia..."
Bang!
Zhang Zhengju slapped the table so hard that the teacups on the table jumped up.
"Shameless! Arrogant! I don't know the heights of heaven and earth!"
"My lord is right, I think so too."
Raymond hastily expressed his loyalty: "Since Daxia opened the sea and established a shipping company, I moved my business from Tianzhu to Daxia. No one knows Daxia better than me. The East India Company did this to bring disaster to the Netherlands. , the powerful Celestial Empire is not something the Netherlands can offend!"
Jia Cong looked at the red-haired Daxiatong, a little dumbfounded.
This person is very shrewd, no matter what he thinks in his heart, at least what he said makes people feel comfortable.
"Raymond, you said just now that you want to seek Benber's asylum because you are worried that someone will harm you. Is it because you are worried about the Habsburg family or your East India Company in the Netherlands?"
The red-haired sighed again and again: "My lord, I have told everything I know. Not only have I offended the Habsburg family, but I have also offended the nobles of the East India Company. I only ask for one thing, and I hope the lord can grant you I am a Da Xia person. Only in this way, they will not dare to attack me easily."
It's a good one to be put to death and then reborn. This red-haired Xiyi really knows the Celestial Dynasty best, and he has figured out the way people of the Celestial Dynasty handle things.
Jia Cong smiled, picked up the tea cup and tasted it slowly, but did not respond for a long time.
Raymond, who bowed to beg, just bowed like that, and Jia Cong didn't dare to get up without making a sound.
It wasn't until Raymond couldn't hold on anymore that Jia Cong said leisurely: "I have no right to answer this matter...but I can give you a chance. Ben's father is the Marquis of Rongguo in Daxia, and now he is in command Great Xia South Sea Admiral, since you have rich sailing experience, would you be willing to serve as the guest secretary of the Great Xia South Sea Admiral?"
"A guest of Nanhai Navy?"
Jia Cong nodded: "It's what you call a consultant. With this status, even if it is the Habsburg family or the East India Company who wants to move you, they have to weigh it carefully. As for the nationality, you If you have done meritorious service, it is possible to grant an official, not to mention others."
……
When he came out of the Western Treasure Hall, Raymond had already arranged for someone to prepare a whole two carriages of gifts for the two of them.
Zhang Zhengju frowned and wanted to send him back, but Jia Cong grabbed his arm.
"Mr. Zhang accepts it with peace of mind. If you don't accept it, Mr. Raymond won't feel at ease."
Jia Cong got on his donkey, smiled towards a slit window on the third floor, and said to Zhang Zhengju: "Don't tell me, this guy is indeed the Xiyi who knows Daxia best. He even knows how to give gifts." Take it out. Come on, let’s go back first. Whether it’s the Habsburg family or the East India Company, we have to deal with it. We have to let the Dragon Guard take action on this matter.”
Zhang Zhengju raised his head and looked at the sky. Unknowingly, it was already the end of Shenshi time and it was getting dark.
So the two of them rushed back to the imperial city without delay and went to the Fusi of the North Town of Longjianwei.
After Cao Jiugong, the commander of the Dragon Guards, came to Beizhen Fusi in person, Jia Cong told the whole story of the case and what he heard from Raymond.
"Cao Dudu, this is the situation. Dudu should have information about those red hairs and green hairs. If it doesn't work, let's catch them and interrogate them first. Anyway, they are all Xiyi. I would rather kill three thousand people by mistake than let them go." Pass one."
After Jia Cong finished speaking, he added another sentence: "And those beasts from southern Xinjiang, let's cook it together!"
