"Don't worry, everyone, this can is a product of Persia. It has a history of more than a hundred years in Persia. Even the Empire that Never Sets on the Sun has been vigorously promoting it for fifty years. As long as we can never set on it, With this state-of-the-art machinery coming from the empire, we can vigorously develop our agricultural products."
Lu Renjia's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Your Majesty, if what Mr. Mark said can be realized, it will have a disruptive impact on our entire agricultural industry, which will also solve our transportation problem."
"Prime Minister Lu is right. This can allows us to transport fruit to Donghuang and even further."
Liu Qingge took the spoon handed over by the palace attendant, took a spoonful and tasted it himself and said, "Yes, the canned taste has its own flavor with the fresh fruit. It's just this machine, how much money does the Empire that Never Sets want to sell it for?" ?”
Marco Polo scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "This machine only costs one hundred thousand taels of silver, but if your Majesty wants to buy it, you must go to the Empire where the sun never sets to negotiate in person."
"How is this possible!"
"Your Majesty, with his body of gold, must not take any risks."
"Yes, how could your Majesty put himself in danger? This is no joke."
"Your Majesty, if we don't want to make this can, how can we ask Your Majesty to talk about it in person?"
Liu Qingge frowned and said, "The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets probably wants to discuss some other cooperation with us, so that's why it wants me to discuss it in person."
"Your Majesty is right. The king of this empire on which the sun never sets does want to discuss cooperation with your Majesty."
"It's not impossible for the king of a country to visit, and it's not impossible to have Qingtian as his escort. Let's leave it at that." Liu Qingge said without hesitation.
As soon as Liu Qingge finished speaking, everyone was dumbfounded. They never expected that Liu Qingge could be so courageous and decided to discuss the trade in detail in person.
"Your Majesty, would it be better to let Prime Minister Lu go?"
"No, since they are such a precious machine, the Sun Never Sets Empire is willing to sell it to me for one hundred thousand taels. This is the most basic prerequisite for me to go. Prepare the trade goods, and ten of our ships will go over to visit."
"His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Needless to say, I have made up my mind. We will start preparing the goods for trade today, and we will set off for the visit in three days." Liu Qingge made the final decision.
After hearing Liu Qingge's decision, no one dared to refute and began to make preparations. Three days later, Liu Qingge was ready to go, and it took half a month for their fleet to get close to the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets.
If their visit had not been notified before, the entire Sun Never Sets Empire might have thought that a war was about to break out.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Liu Qingge saw a blond man with blue eyes slowly driving in in a car, surrounded by people.
As soon as the man saw Liu Qingge, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said excitedly: "Are you the emperor of Tianqi?"
Liu Qingge didn't understand what the man said. After Marco Polo translated, Liu Qingge immediately said: "I am the one who is here, you are the king of the empire on which the sun never sets, right?"
The man smiled and said: "I have long heard that His Majesty Tianqi is a beautiful woman, and it turns out that she is so when I see her today."
Liu Qingge smiled and said, "You are exaggerating."
"My name is John Jobs, you can just call me John."
As soon as John Jobs said these words, everyone in the empire exploded.
"Your Majesty, how can you let people from Tianqi address you directly as your Majesty?"
"This is unreasonable."
"John, just call me Qingge." Listening to Mark's translation, Liu Qingge covered her mouth and smiled. Sure enough, the ministers from all countries were the same.
John Jobs smiled awkwardly and said, "It made Qing Ge laugh."
"Your Majesty John is joking. It is the same everywhere. These ministers are also thinking about His Majesty."
"Qing Ge, please come quickly, we will prepare a state banquet for you until the sun sets."
"Then I'll bother John."
Liu Qingge got into a car with John Jobs. This was Liu Qingge's first time getting into a car. He had only heard Marco Polo introduce it before. Today, when he got into a car with John Jobs, he realized what stability meant.
Even the best-damped carriages don't feel this smooth. This car is simply amazing.
"Your Majesty John, does your country export cars?" Liu Qingge asked.
John smiled and said: "Rather than exporting cars to you, I hope we can win-win."
A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Qingge's eyes: "A win-win situation? How does His Majesty John want a win-win situation?"
"It's very simple. We have the technology, and you have the resources and market. As long as we build a factory in your country, our cars can be quickly promoted in your country."
In fact, the main reason why Liu Qingge never sets is because he is full of admiration for the technology of the Empire.
The encyclopedias brought by Marco Polo were simply subversive books, but these books were only used by ordinary people for popular science.
Being able to establish friendly diplomatic relations and develop trade with the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets would be of great benefit to Apocalypse.
After some discussions between Liu Qingge and John Jobs, they decided to locate the first automobile factory in Zhongzhou. Zhongzhou has a superior geographical location and is basically connected with several other neighboring countries. Moreover, Zhongzhou is rich in mineral resources, which just meets the demand for automobiles. Factory support.
During the five-day visit, Liu Qingge and John Jobs decided on several development directions. The first was automobiles; the second was agriculture; and the third was education.
The two sides of the automobile industry are jointly building the factory. The Sun Never Sets side only needs to provide technology, while Liu Qingge will provide the manpower and resources. Liu Qingge is willing to give the Sun Never Sets side 60% of the profits, but requires The actual control of the factory rests with Liu Qingge, and the Sun Never Sets Empire has no objections to this.
In terms of agriculture, because the cash crops of both sides are different, both sides can import and export.
In terms of education, every year Liu Qingsinger can get 200 places to study in the Empire where the sun never sets. Liu Qingge decided that these quotas could be given to the people of the five countries.
When they returned to Tianqi, everyone was shocked by Liu Qingge's decision on education. Many ministers felt that Tianqi had no obligation to help other countries.
"Your Majesty, why do we allocate so many quotas to other countries? The education of this empire where the sun never sets is so advanced. If other countries are allowed to develop, wouldn't they be eyeing us? How can there be eternal friends between countries? There are only eternal benefits.”
"Yes, interests between countries still come first, but first of all, our relations with other countries have always been good-neighborly and friendly. If we only think about the development of our own country, it will be even more difficult to ensure that other countries are eyeing our country. Our foreign policy needs More openness and tolerance.”
