Become a feudal king from today - #1133 - Chapter 1144 Two Systems

“In this case, there will be no obstacles to our contacts with Persia. Google search to read”

Newman initially agreed to use Songyuan to trade, and Guan Tong smiled.

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

As the five southeastern countries and the countries in the southern region restore order from the 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, many private cigarette workshops have emerged in Luzon today. Dasong also directly imports cut tobacco from Luzon to set up cigarette factories.

There are coffee trees brought by Western colonists from the Black Continent in Jakarta, and they provide coffee beans to Dasong.

Nowadays, these objects are slowly entering into the daily life of Dasong people.

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

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 country of Persia very well.” Newman smiled, “This kind of thing will catch fire at a moment’s notice. We will use it to make fire pots when we fight.”

After a pause, he continued, “But this also brings troubles to us in Persia, which makes our land unsuitable for farming.”

“Hahaha… You are wrong. We call these black things oil. Not only are they not a burden, they are also a kind of wealth. We are currently in great need of oil. If you collect this oil and sell it to us, it can be like gold. In exchange for Song Yuan.”

Newman also laughed and shook his head, “General Guantong, this must be a joke. What else can that thing be used for besides making fire? And even if it is used to make a fire, the smoke will be very big and it is not as good as firewood.”

“This is not a joke, I am serious. This matter was specially ordered by our Emperor. If you are willing to sell, our merchant ship will arrive in Persia immediately, and we can negotiate a reasonable price next.” said.

Newman saw Guan Tong’s serious expression, and then he believed it.

However, he was not very concerned about the oil trade, because even the Western natives, who were willing to dig out mouse holes, had never thought of such black oil.

Therefore, he does not think this thing is very valuable.

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

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

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

He has no worries about oil prices because Dasong is the only buyer now.

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

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

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

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

Guantong also ordered a steamship to send the preliminary agreement to Yancheng.

After eight days of sailing, the agreement arrived on Zhao Xu’s desk.

Zhao Xu read the agreement and did not read it directly. Instead, he called all nine cabinet ministers to the imperial study room to review the agreement together.

“Generally speaking, there is no problem. There is only one thing. In the future, will the trade standards between Persia and Dasong be based on the standards with the Eastern Turkestan countries? Or will they create another set of standards?” Ma Yuan put on the reading glasses on his chest and looked seriously. Reading the contract.

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

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

But I didn’t expect that Yancheng would build an eye factory and have reading glasses.

After that his eye problem was resolved.

“What Mr. Mage said is that the relationship between our Eastern Territory countries is special. It belongs to the tribute system, and it has this basis in history. The Eastern Territory countries are not very exclusive, but are willing to receive Dasong’s protection.”

“But the Middle-earth countries are different. If the Middle-earth countries are allowed to abide by the same rules as the Eastern-European countries, I’m afraid they will think that they will also become a vassal state of Dasong.” Liu Fu said slowly.

Zhao Xu nodded when he heard this.

After the Tianzhu War, he was thinking about this matter.

Just as Liu Fu said, he successfully restored the tribute system of Dasong in the East because of this historical foundation.

Dasong has always been a great country to the Eastern Land.

Moreover, Dasong people have been immigrating continuously for thousands of years, and there are currently Dasong survivors in many southern countries.

After Dasong drove away the Westerners, these Dasong remnants became more active, and even directly jumped into the aristocratic class because of Dasong.

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

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

But China and Earth are obviously different, and the gap is relatively deep.

He believed that we must not intervene in this area like the Western Turks who made huge profits, otherwise we would only get a long-term security war.

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

The Eastern countries made more 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 will be restrictions and it will not be equivalent to the Eastern countries.

Otherwise, other Eastern countries will definitely be dissatisfied.

Therefore, he is preparing to establish a global system outside of the Eastern-Turkish trade system.

In the future, this trading system will not only target the Persian country, but also target any country that establishes trade relations with Dasong.

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

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

Of course, if Persia is willing to give up some of its key interests like the Eastern Turks, he would not mind integrating Persia into the Eastern Turkish trade system.

Thinking of this, he said, “In that case, let’s start from scratch and build another trade system from now on. Countries that join the trade system can enjoy preferential tariffs that are higher than those of Eastern countries but lower than normal tariffs. As for which goods are charged what?” Regarding tariffs, your cabinet will ask the Department of Commerce to formulate them.”
