The Reborn Wife is Farming - Chapter 1160 Cigar

When the envoys of Japan finally used silver to smash a road and knew the reason why they were “specially treated”, the negotiations between Daqi and Spain had ended, and the two sides signed a trade tax-free treaty, in which Daqi’s duty-free goods to Spain reached Thirty-two kinds, while Spain has 16 kinds of duty-free commodities for Daqi.

Andre and Antonio are very satisfied with this result, Xiaobao and the others are also very satisfied with this result, it can be regarded as happy for all.

What makes Andre a little unhappy is that Daqi is still unwilling to set aside a separate place for their ships to berth for supplies, because Daqi insists that Spain also provide a place for Daqi’s fleet…

Every piece of the empire is precious, and Andre can’t make the decision, but Antonio, who can make the decision, obviously doesn’t agree, so this matter can only be shelved.

Fortunately, Daqi Songkou said that when there are too many ships in the port, another port will be built as appropriate to provide ships with berthing supplies.

However, the fact is that Qi Haoran is very annoyed by Andre’s entanglement, and he said angrily: “If it’s not possible, just set aside a small island in the sea to park them for supplies.”

Little Xiong was very stingy, and insisted: “The small island is also my Daqi’s land, and I must not give it to them.”

Mu Yangling suggested, “Just park the boat for them, and we will manage the place, collect rent, etc., and then allow the local people to sell things there for free, so as to give the people an extra way of life.”

“Yes, as long as there is consumption, the local people will not lose money.” Xiaobao finally said: “The people in the coastal areas are very poor, and it is not bad to have this way of life.”

So the matter was settled like this, but this was just a small plan, because no matter how many other ships there were, it would only take up a small area, and no one took it to heart.

Seeing that Spain had signed an agreement with Daqi, other Western countries demanded to follow suit.

Fan Zijin simply asked people to draft several agreements, and sent them to them after modifying some duty-free products. If they agreed, they would sign it, and if they did not agree, forget it.

After the envoy of England signed the contract, he said with a smile to the little bear: “My lord, I still have a special product in England. I wonder if it can be included in the tax-exemption ranks.”

“What specialty?”

The English envoy turned around and took out a box from the attendant, opened it and took out a tube, handed it to the little bear and said, “This is a cigar, our nobles like to use it very much, maybe you will be interested too.”

Before the negotiation, my mother repeatedly emphasized that except for weapons, all luxury goods used by nobles are not allowed in the tax-free list, so when Xiao Xiong heard that they were used by nobles, he immediately crossed them in his heart, but he was still very interested He sniffed it, “I heard Andre mention that cigars are actually smoke, right?”

The English envoy was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: “You can also say the same.”

Little Xiong handed the item to him regretfully, and said, “It’s a pity, I ban smoking, so this item won’t even enter the tax-free list, it won’t even enter the customs.”

The English envoy opened his mouth wide and said, “No smoking? Why?”

Because this thing is harmful to health and takes up arable land, the words twirled on the tip of the bear’s tongue, and he finally said with a playful smile: “I don’t know, but the law stipulates this way. It has been hundreds of years, and this law has never It hasn’t changed. Besides, the people of Daqi don’t like smoking, so even if you can sell your stuff, you won’t be able to sell it.”

“No, no, I don’t believe there is anyone who doesn’t love cigars,” the English envoy said firmly, “There is no one who has ever smoked one who doesn’t love cigars.”

Little Bear shrugged his shoulders regretfully, “But I don’t smoke at all.”

This sentence directly blocked all the words of the English envoy, and he couldn’t say a single word he had prepared before.

In the end, the English envoy insisted on giving Cubs a box of cigars, expressing regretfully that their loss of cigars was equivalent to losing one of the pleasures in life, because cigars are as important as fine wine.

He hoped that Da Qi could amend the law, at least allowing the nobles of Da Qi to enjoy the beauty of cigars.

Little Bear knows that foreigners always like to exaggerate, he is not interested in tobacco.

Daqi has always banned tobacco trading, and most smokers will carve out a piece of land to grow some, just like growing vegetables. Although there are occasional tobacco deals in private, they are very small.

Those who have no money can exchange a basket of eggs for a basket of tobacco. This kind of transaction is ignored by everyone, and no one will really arrest these people.

Those who are rich and smoke mostly grow tobacco in their own farms and do not need to buy it outside.

As long as there are no major transactions, the imperial court will not take care of them.

If foreigners’ cigars are allowed to prevail in Daqi, it will not only break the law, but also change the life structure of the people.

Tobacco is not a good thing, and it will take up arable land. Xiaoxiong didn’t think they would agree to each other’s cigars entering the market, so he didn’t take it easy when he took a box of cigars home, but threw it in the small study at will.

Little Leopard and his sister sneaked into the elder brother’s study along the corner of the wall, and when he raised his chair to reach the bow on the wall, Baozhu saw the exquisite box containing cigars.

Without thinking about it, she hid the thing in her arms, and then went to help her brother move the bow out of the small study.

The two little things sneaked away with their bows in hand. If they hadn’t met Mu Yangling coming back from the outside, they might have been able to hide the things.

Hearing the movement, Little Leopard and Baozhu decisively threw away the big bow and ran away.

Mu Yangling saw from a distance, using lightness kung fu, he jumped behind them, grabbed their collars and picked them up, and asked helplessly, “What do you want to do with the big bow?”

Two children kicked their feet and yelled, “Put me down, let me down!”

The box hidden in Baozhu’s arms fell to the ground as she struggled, and the cigar rolled down from the box and landed at Mu Yangling’s feet.

Seeing this thing, Mu Yangling’s expression changed, he put down the two children, picked up his cigar and asked, “Where did you get this thing from?”

Probably because Mu Yangling’s face was very serious, the two children shrank their necks, and Baozhu said in a low voice: “From the big brother’s study, the box is very beautiful.”

Mu Yangling touched her little head, and said, “Don’t take your brothers’ things casually in the future, what if it’s something important?”

Mu Yangling picked up the cigars and put them in the box, led the two children into the house, and said softly, “The big bow is too big for you, and you can’t open it. I will ask your father to make two small bows for you later.” OK?”

Little Leopard and Baozhu were very disappointed, “But the little bow can’t kill the rabbit.”

Mu Yangling smiled and said, “Then let’s play with the slingshot, that small thing can kill a rabbit with just one stroke.”

“Then will Daddy take us with him next time he goes hunting?” The little leopard looked at his mother eagerly.

Mu Yangling smiled and said, “If you are obedient, I will beg your father.”

Mu Yangling patted their little buttocks and let them play by themselves, turning the cigar in their hands and thinking deeply.

This thing can only come from foreigners, but Da Qi bans smoking, and Xiao Xiong has never smoked, so how could there be this thing?
