For Champa, it is difficult for him to develop the area in Puluochong and get little benefit from it, and the annual tax revenue is also very limited.
As for Daming, the rental fee was much higher, and it was still a good long-term business.
If he manages it well, that wild land will bring him great benefits in the next ten or twenty years, benefits that belong exclusively to the royal family.
If there was no such thing as garrisoning troops, he would be willing to finalize this agreement now, for fear that the Ming Dynasty would regret it.
But once it comes to the garrison, it will definitely stimulate the sensitive nerves of the various political factions in the country. For him and the royal family, it will definitely create pressure.
Is it worth the stress to get the money?
He began to think about this issue seriously.
Then the conclusion was quickly drawn.
worth.
He is already in his forties, which in a country like Sriwijaya would be considered the age at which half of the body would be buried. He had been seriously ill before, and gradually felt that his body and energy were running low, and he did not know how long he could live.
Human life is short, so we must enjoy ourselves in time, otherwise what is the point of living a lifetime?
Creating value for others for no reason is really not worth it.
Therefore, in the past few years, Champa often had the idea of taking care of the flood after his death. He wanted to enjoy himself in time and did not want to worry about too many things.
He doesn't want to prepare a good situation for his heir. He feels that it is not his responsibility. He has no interest in dedicating anything to the inheritance. He has already done what he needs to do. What he wants most now is to enjoy .
The Ming Dynasty is willing to give money to lease the island, and he can get a large amount of rent money, which can be used to squander and do what he wants to do. What's wrong with this?
It would be too pitiful to think too much and only to find out when you are about to die that there are still many things you want to do that you have not done.
He does not want to be a wise king, he wants to be a faint king.
With this thought, Champa's will gradually strengthened.
He held Wang Kun's hand, hoping that Wang Kun could stay a little longer and give him some time. He would do his best to mediate and make this country that did not belong to him only obey his will.
Wang Kun didn't think much about it and nodded and agreed to stay.
For almost half a month after that, the Skynet Army often brought him some things that were frequently done by Srivijaya senior officials. It seemed that there were some minor conflicts between King Champa and some senior officials and dignitaries, and the discussions between the two parties were not very pleasant. , Champa became very angry.
Half a month later, at the end of July of that year, Champa met Wang Kun again and conveyed the good news to him.
The Kingdom of Srivijaya decided to lease all the islands in the southern part of the Protung Peninsula that are not connected to the peninsula to the Ming Dynasty for ten years. If the Ming Dynasty still wants to renew the contract after ten years, it can conduct renewal negotiations at any time.
The current ten-year agreement can be signed immediately.
Of course, cash is required.
Wang Kun was overjoyed and immediately signed an island lease agreement with Champa.
The two parties clearly stipulated the scope and time of the leased area and the Ming Dynasty's right to dispose of these islands. They also clearly stipulated that the sovereignty of the leased area still belongs to the Kingdom of Sriwijaya, and the Ming Dynasty only leased it and controlled it on its behalf.
However, due to the necessity of development and construction, the indigenous people on the island will be subject to the same control of Ming Dynasty laws as the Ming Dynasty citizens who arrived here for development and construction. Among them, those who are willing to leave can leave, and those who are unwilling to leave can live in the same place.
Citizens of the Srivijaya Kingdom who come here to do business or live here also need to abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
In the leased area, no matter which nationality violates the law, it will be dealt with by the judicial office established by the Ming Dynasty. The Kingdom of Sriwijaya needs to abide by this agreement.
Finally, in order to make it easier for citizens to come and do business and live in Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will give the leased island a name and call it Sin Chau Island in accordance with Ming Dynasty customs. The Kingdom of Srivijaya should have no objection to this.
There were other minor matters, which the two parties agreed on quickly. However, in terms of legal jurisdiction, Champato had doubts and tried to change it to say that citizens of the Kingdom of Srivijaya were subject to the laws of Srivijaya and were not subject to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. .
Wang Kun did not relent on this, believing that a region should have only one set of laws and regulations, and the areas that the Ming Dynasty was responsible for controlling should also be handled in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, what should we do when the laws of the two countries conflict?
"Some things are better to be decided in advance. Otherwise, when a conflict occurs, it may be difficult to control the scale of the conflict. What do you think?"
Wang Kun's words were not polite. Champa was quite dissatisfied with this, but he also had the same considerations. He only wanted to make money, and he extremely disliked risks.
Having said that, face is still important.
"It's okay to agree to this condition, but I also ask Mingguo to agree to my conditions."
Champa said: "When someone from our country breaks the law and will be punished, the Ming Dynasty needs to notify our country and our country will send officials to observe the trial."
"There is nothing wrong with just observing, but it does not interfere with the administration of justice."
Wang Kun nodded and said: "If this is the case, the people of your country will regard the laws of the Ming Dynasty as nothing, which will seriously affect the Ming Dynasty's business and harm the interests of the Ming Dynasty. Then the Ming Dynasty can only gain a foothold in the country with weapons."
This is said very simply.
Knowing that the Li dynasty of South Vietnam and the Champa regime of Zou Yana had fallen, Champa did not want to have any unexpected entanglements with the Ming Dynasty.
So he smiled coquettishly.
"Weapons and other weapons are too harmful to harmony, so it's better not to use them lightly."
"The Ming Dynasty never liked war."
Wang Kun said sternly: "Otherwise, Daming would not discuss the lease with His Highness. However, if Daming can't get things with money and goods, it can only get them with war. This is also a helpless thing. If it is not a last resort, Daming will not want to Use war."
"That's nature, that's nature..."
Champa didn't say anything more. He and Wang Kun formally signed terms acceptable to both parties, finalizing the lease and development and construction rights for Sinzhou Island for the next ten years.
The news of the success of this matter was quickly sent back to Zhongdu by Wang Kun. Wang Kun himself did not leave Sriwijaya, but went with the fleet to Xingzhou Island to do exploration and preliminary inspection work.
He was sent out to negotiate on a business trip.
At present, when the imperial court is employing people, it has more and more things to do, and the number of officials is not actually planned to be greatly expanded. Therefore, if you expand it, you will find that Ming officials have more things to do.
And it was not until this moment that many people discovered how powerful Su Yonglin was in handling government affairs. Those things that were originally absorbed by Su Yonglin's imperial power system and were digested by his diligence were now revealed in large quantities.
As the power structure changes, the things officials have to do suddenly increase. Su Yonglin is relaxed, but the officials are tired.
