Chapter 319 The tempting spice business

Karon stared at the young duke in front of him. He was a little despised by the powerful young man because of his remarks to Tomban Island, but now he has to face him. This man is definitely not as ignorant as he shows. On the contrary, he is a cunning duke.

In the final analysis, the game between the two countries is false, and only absolute force is true. If the country is compared to an individual, the army is like the courage of an individual. What is even more terrible is that there is no legal constraint between countries. I knocked you down with one punch, and everything in your house is mine.

The young man in front of him already has the largest land army in the world. Now he still wants to develop his own navy. Karon immediately became alert and could not agree to this condition.

Hou Xuanyan looked at the so-called Dutch Governor in front of him, and his expression was very rich, so Hou Xuanyan could see clearly at a glance. Fortunately, he didn't expect this Dutch Governor to give him much help. All the people in Wusongjiang were attracted by a lot of money or for refuge, including Dutch, Franchise, and British... If it were someone sent by the Dutch Governor, he would not be very relieved.

Hou Xuanyan said with a smile on his face, "Haha, it seems you are in a difficult situation. We Han people have a saying, 'A gentleman does not force others to do anything.' My father taught me since he was a child that I would not make things difficult for you. So, I will not attack Zheng Zhilong. We have an armistice agreement first. But I can give you the opportunity to trade in Fuzhou. Every month you have thirty ships to be docked in Fuzhou for trading, and each ship must not stay for more than three days."

After hearing this, Karon felt very complicated and his disgust for the young man in front of him became even deeper. This was much worse than the arrogant official he met when he first came. He gave him a trap that he could not refuse. He directly traded on land with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and his profits increased many times. In a later generation's advertising slogan, it means that there is no middlemen to make a difference. Zheng Zhilong and Hou Xuan were in a peace talk, and the same was true for the group formation, and he wanted to obtain the right to trade directly with merchants in Jiangnan.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. If the Netherlands engages in trade in Fuzhou, it will definitely violate Zheng Zhilong, who had previously monopolized Fujian and foreign exchanges. In this way, the Dutch water power will be more violently retaliated by Zheng Zhilong. Now Zheng Zhilong is constantly provoking trouble and has fought with him repeatedly in Nanyang. If this dose of medicine continues, Zheng Zhilong will definitely be even more crazy. However, the inland of the Ming Dynasty was full of gold, various porcelains, and silk... in the supply in the continent, even if it is sold at a sky-high price, it still makes the nobles flock to it.

Hou Xuanyan threw out a bone, and he wanted the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong to fight for it. Anyway, before his Northern Expedition was completed, he had no intention of participating in the battle for hegemony at sea.

Karon knew that this was a trap, but he had to jump in. Moreover, the purpose of this trip was to seek military help from the empire to help them defeat Zheng Zhilong. Now it seems that this hope has been shattered.

Hou Xuanyan didn't give him much time. After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "I still have official duties. If you have nothing to do, just step down. As for meeting Your Majesty, it is impossible."

Karon still wanted to speak, but the personal soldiers of the Duke's Mansion had already stepped forward and invited them out of the lobby "compassionately".

This is the first time Hou Xuanyan has dealt with foreigners of this era. The impression he has left on him is very bad. These people are like bitches who are tempted by money, using all means for the sake of profit. What morality and shame are worthless in their eyes, and they can show their ugliest faces for the sake of profit. Hou Xuanyan doesn't like such people, but he likes to deal with such people. He has a lot of sinister means and has no guilt at all when he uses such people. Don't mention it's too refreshing. Isn't it just a comparison of who is vilified...

Hou Xuanyan looked at the Dutchman who was driven out and suddenly remembered a very famous emoticon pack in later generations and whispered: "When I get up, I will kill you all..."

After coming out, Olite stomped his feet and cursed: "Sir, this group of people is even more arrogant and rude than pirates!"

Karon's face looked ugly, but he was not as irritable as Olite. He held back his displeasure and said, "This person is indeed difficult to deal with, but we have no choice. We must have his help to defeat Zheng Yiguan. This pirate leader has too strong strength on the eastern coastline."

Olite's eyes rolled and said, "I heard that in the north of this empire, they have been invaded by more fierce nations, and they have lost half of their territory. It is better for us to find the barbarians riding on horseback, and dealing with them should not be more difficult than these people."

Karon nodded: "This idea is good, we can give it a try."

After seeing off Karon, Hou Xuanyan came to the backyard where the gifts they brought were neatly placed.

When he pried open one of the boxes, a fragrance came to his face. Hou Xuanyan twisted the powder in his hand, but he didn't know what it was. There were also some exotic jewelry, which was dazzling, and the Dutch were generous. Of course, they also knew that once they had sex with Hou Xuanyan, they would earn more money in the Ming Dynasty than these. These gifts had no labels. Although Hou Xuanyan was a human being in two lifetimes, many of them could not be named, so he ordered the little maid in the room to call Bian Yujing. Bian Saisai was knowledgeable and perhaps knew the use of these things.

At this time, a knock on the door sounded, and Hou Xuan called out, "Come in." The door opened lightly, and a young girl floated lightly from outside, holding an exquisite tea tray in her hand, with a slender figure, plump and plump breasts, a slim waist, and a pomegranate pleated skirt with a flare-mouthed mouth. When the two slender and straight legs moved under the skirt, their round buttocks swayed. Through the thick dress, they could feel the wave of flesh.

After the girl came in, her knees tightened and respectfully placed the hot tea next to Hou Xuanyan, ensuring that he could reach it with his hands. Then Fuli said, "Master, please use tea."

Hou Xuanyan looked up and saw that it was one of the four beauties that Li Haoxian gave him. This Li Haoxian was in a mistake and selected four girls with good breasts and fat buttocks, slender waists and handsome appearances. Who knew that it was exactly what Hou Xuanyan wanted. Hou Xuanyan took a break from his busy schedule and favored two of them. Before the one in front of him had time to use it, Hou Xuanyan remembered that her name was Qingluan. Of course, this should be the name after the house was confiscated.

Hou Xuanyan picked up the teacup, took a sip, then frowned, and pulled Qingluan into her arms. He put his finger on the tip of her nose and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Qingluan was originally the daughter of a salt merchant in Huai'an. She was luxurious and had a noble family. She was also a knowledgeable master. She sniffed it lightly and said, "It should be nutmeg, a precious spice. It is said that this thing is the same as gold."

Hou Xuanyan then showed a look of silence. It turned out to be this thing. It is said that this is the direct reason why the Age of Discovery began. The initial Europeans traveled thousands of miles to the sea to break the monopoly of the Arabs and Venetians over this spice. Later, Britain and the Netherlands competed for hegemony, mainly for this thing. The Dutch who monopolized this business and even exterminated the indigenous genocide of origin. The wealth was touching, and Hou Xuanyan was immediately moved.

However, this spice is produced in tropical areas. Without powerful navy, it is difficult to go to the islands in Nanyang to compete. Fortunately, their two major navy masters are chasing each other in a hurry, burying their heads and secretly developing to prepare for the end of stealing the tower. Whether it is the Fujian Navy or the Songjiang Navy, the resources they get are the best. Even if the West is included in this era, no force has supported the navy more than it does.

Hou Xuanyan sighed with regret and comforted himself: "You have to wait until the end to eat good things. As long as you can eat them, it will not be too late."

The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Qingluan was sent to the mansion. Seeing that both sisters were favored by the Duke, he was still miserably plagued by the tea and poured water. When he heard this, he thought Hou Xuanyan was talking about her.

The little Qingluan flashed with a flash of spirit, pursed her bright red cherry lips and smiled, thinking that the opportunity is here!

She suddenly sat up from Hou Xuanyan, remembering in her heart that the mother-in-law who was sent to serve the Duke, General Li invited to teach her methods of serving people. She used her fair tail finger to hook her soft hair behind her ears, knelt on the ground, and Qingluan smiled and said, "A person like a cat and a dog, the master will eat whenever he wants to eat."

After saying that, he lowered his head and his hands clumsily untied his belt, held the soft dragon pestle, and sucked it soundly.

Hou Xuanyan was stunned for a moment, unable to defend himself, and was so comfortable that he could not help but close his eyes and hold the couch with his hands tightly.

At this time, there was a cheerful sound of footsteps outside. The master personally sent someone to ask for advice and praised him for his knowledgeable knowledge and deep sense of face. Bian Saisai was very proud. He pushed the door open and blushed by the scene in front of him.

"It's broad daylight, what's going on? Master is really... I'm going back first."

Bian Saisai's cool red cheeks, his breath was wet and hot, his chest was undulating, and he said walking, but his feet couldn't move at all.

Hou Xuanyan smiled and said with a slight smile: "Where are you going? Why don't you get over quickly?"

Bian Saisai's almond eyes rolled, and spat lightly, but obediently untied her shirt, reached behind her neck, lowered her head forward, untied the tether of her bellyband, and opened the golden red sleeves' collar. She was afraid of the cold and carefully scraped out the cotton ru from her little shirt, and held it to Hou Xuanyan's mouth.
