"Hahaha..."

The serious atmosphere in the government office was broken by Xiao Ming's laughter.

After dealing with it for so long, he basically solved the problem of Ryukyu without blood, and he also found a trade route with Europe.

Stopping the laughter, Xiao Ming said to Claire: "I'm glad you can accept this condition. If you can sincerely trade with this king's fief, this king guarantees that your future trade in East Asia will not be harmed. On the contrary, you will get More profit."

"I hope so. The ultimate goal of our Dutch is trade and profit. As long as your Royal Highness can guarantee this, it is enough." Claire also said with a smile.

Nodded, Xiao Ming continued: "If this is the case, it is better for both of us to sign a trade agreement to agree on our commitments." Xiao Ming said.

After all, he asked Yang Chengye to prepare pen and paper to write down the results of this negotiation to form an agreement to stipulate the behavior of both parties. Claire also had no objection to this.

Then the two sides discussed some issues on the details, and finally formed a paper agreement.

It is clearly stated in the agreement:

First, the Netherlands returned the main island of Ryukyu to the Kingdom of Great Yu and included it under the name of King Qi of Great Yu, and King Qi of Great Yu State guaranteed the safety of the Dutch trading company's location in Reranjo and the smooth flow of trade routes.

Second, the Dutch trading company and the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce jointly established the Ministry of Foreign Trade in Dengzhou, and all future trade needs to be approved by the office before proceeding.

Third, Jeranjah retains two thousand musketeers and four warships, and at the same time allows the same number of troops under the name of King Qi to be stationed in co-management, and both sides are responsible for their own military supplies.

Fourth, when the city of Geranzio was attacked by a foreign enemy, Qi Di had the obligation to defend against the enemy together with the Dutch trading company. At the same time, when the ships on both sides of the sea were looted by foreign enemies, both parties had the obligation to protect.

...

Write down these clauses one by one, and soon a piece of paper was covered with text. After writing the treaty in the language of the Great Yu country, Xiao Ming wrote another treaty in the Dutch language, and this move made Claire His jaw almost fell.

"His Royal Highness Qi, why do you speak our language?" Claire said.

Xiao Ming said, "Then why does Rod speak the language of our country?"

"But he can only speak, not write." Claire said, Rod's past was not glorious. In fact, Rod was also a member of pirates before. It was with pirates from different countries that Rod was mastered when he was young. The language of Yuguo.

"That's really unfortunate. This king learned this knowledge from a knowledgeable missionary." Xiao Ming also used this reason to prevaricate.

"Missionary? What about the flintlocks and artillery that your Royal Highness has?" Claire was surprised.

Xiao Ming nodded affirmatively. Since they have cooperated, he must give them a reason.

"This must be a very knowledgeable missionary." Claire smiled bitterly, and now he really wanted to kill the missionary.

With a soft smile, Xiao Ming handed the agreement to Claire. In fact, he quickly mastered memorable things, such as language. After all, the knowledge that needs to be memorized is in the science and technology library. Jump out a word, even a sentence.

"Now we should sign. As long as this agreement takes effect, war can be avoided." Xiao Ming said.

Claire's expression became serious, and he took a deep breath. He took a quill pen from his arms and signed his name on the agreement.

Ryukyu Island was exhibited by a Dutch trading company, so it belongs to the wealth announced by the Dutch trade. He has the right to deal with the company's property, provided that the company's trade will not be lost.

After signing the agreement, Claire pushed the agreement to Xiao Ming and said, "Now it's your turn."

After accepting the agreement, Xiao Ming also signed his own name. This agreement is considered to be officially effective. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "I wish we have a happy cooperation."

Claire's expression is very complicated. This agreement is a complete victory for the king and a humiliation of defeat for them. This means that the Dutch informed the East Asian trade route that the era is officially a thing of the past, just as they have now lost European maritime hegemony. .

"I hope that His Highness can abide by the promises in the agreement, otherwise we Dutch will fight until the last soldier." Claire warned.

Xiao Ming looked serious and solemnly said: "This king has always kept his promises."

Nodded, Claire stood up and said, "In that case, we are waiting for the arrival of His Royal Highness in Jeranj."

"Ok."

Xiao Ming originally wanted Claire to stay for a meal, but he didn't care about Claire's humiliation at this time. After all, losers also have their own dignity.

Sending off Claire, Yang Chengye, who participated in the negotiation, looked at Xiao Ming with admiration and said: "I didn't expect that your Highness is really knowledgeable, and the officials really admire him!"

"Stop flattering and do more business. This time the agreement was signed, Dengzhou will be a commercial port for trade with the Netherlands in the future. Products coming here from the Netherlands will be unloaded here, and our products will be loaded here. Dutch ship."

Yang Chengye has been looking forward to this day since Xiao Ming talked about it last time, and now two months have passed, and now he has a new eye.

He said: "The next official is now ordering to vacate the yard next door to the government office and turn it into the Ministry of Foreign Trade." After that, Yang Chengye was ready to go, he was much more anxious than Xiao Ming.

Shaking his head, Xiao Ming walked to Xingyuan~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Now that the agreement was signed, there are still a lot of things below. First, he must go to receive the main Ryukyu island and the bastion Mingks on the island opposite to Relanzhe.

After that, his army will be stationed in the city of Geranzio and the Dutch will monitor the coastal trade routes.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent someone to call Yue Yun, and it was natural that Yue Yun would execute the things of the controlled route.

It didn't take long for him to return to the line, Yue Yun rushed over. During this time, he had been leading the training of the fleet, and learned that Xiao Ming was in Dengzhou, he was about to come to Xiao Ming to ask about Ryukyu.

"The Dutchman surrendered? It's really boring!" Yue Yun looked disappointed. He looked for his opponent everywhere now like a cockfight.

"It's not a surrender. It's just that we will be a cooperative relationship from now on. However, we must be vigilant while cooperating. This is the meaning of the garrison." Xiao Ming said: "So, you have to separate some warships to station in Ryukyu. I will train a batch of Navy 6 teams for you."

"Navy Team 6?" Yue Yun's eyes lit up. This was the type of unit he had always dreamed of.
