One thousand six hundred and twenty-eight, the world revolution really should be promoted
The secret base of the Skynet Army in Bagan has been established with the official entry of the first batch of business travelers.
In order to establish a business agency and a secret organization of the Revival Association, Su Yonglin sent people in the name of the state envoy. The envoy was composed of formal diplomatic officials, political and working cadres of the Revival Association, and Tianwang Army spies dressed as business travelers who were familiar with the local situation. Everyone acted together.
This is the first time that the Ming Dynasty sent official personnel to Bagan.
The king of Bagan, Naropoti, inherited the foundation of his grandfather and father, and took over a feudal dynasty with a high degree of unity. The main religion of this country was Buddhism. Buddhist temples were everywhere in China, monks had a high status and temples were very rich in property.
For a thorough secular country like the Ming Dynasty, it is actually not easy to deal with such countries, because apart from commercial relations, it is not easy to find an entry point.
However, for countries close to Sichuan and Yunnan, the Ming Dynasty enjoyed an unexpected and long historical entry point - Zhuge Liang.
According to the secret interviewees from the Tianwang Army who were doing business in Bagan, there is a Zhuge Wuhou Temple in the northern part of Bagan. The locals maintained sacrifices to Zhuge Liang and respected Zhuge Liang very much. For the Ming Dynasty, this may be a wonderful entry point to establish a good relationship with the locals.
When he learned the news, Su Yonglin was deeply moved at the internal meeting of the Executive Committee.
Zhuge Liang has passed away for almost a thousand years, but the rich legacy he left a thousand years ago can still be used. How amazing is it to be able to leave such a firm footprint in the long river of history that is not easy to erase?
Su Yonglin is not a person who likes personality worship, but he always feels that facing Zhuge Liang, he, a time traveler with all the advantages of history, needs to worship him.
However, the exchanges between countries have always been different from those between people. People can find common historical memories, but the exchanges between countries are not the same.
Emperor Naropo seemed to welcome the arrival of the Ming envoys and personally received them with the most solemn etiquette, but the vigilance and alienation in his eyes could not be concealed.
The envoy leader, the subordinate whom Tian Guizi valued, and the secretary-general of the Prime Minister's Office of the Revival Association, Song Xiangxi, knew the reason why the king was alert to his arrival.
It was nothing more than a series of military operations by Xu Tong, the troops of the Eighth Corps, on the border between the Dali Province and the Bagan Kingdom. Xu Tong was leading his army to encircle and suppress the remnants of the powerful and landlord class in Dali. They fled from the central and eastern Dali to the border between the Bagan Kingdom.
Song Xiangxi gave a very clear response to the vigilance of Emperor Naropo, saying that this was the Ming Dynasty's military action to eliminate rebels, and would be limited to the territory of the Ming Dynasty and would not involve the Bagan Kingdom.
The Polo Emperor didn't agree with this, but this was indeed the main reason why he had doubts about the Ming Kingdom. If he was just a visit by the envoy, he would not be so vigilant.
Of course he knew the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the preciousness of commodities. Although he did not understand the Ming Dynasty, he knew the Ming Dynasty's tea, silk, porcelain, pottery, and these super-strong fist products that were hard currency in the international market. As a king, he could not not understand it.
He also really wanted larger quantities and cheaper goods. If he could obtain such benefits by having official contact with the Ming Dynasty, he felt that as long as the other goods did not involve national sovereignty, he could negotiate.
For example, what vassal states were mentioned by those merchants who had some understanding of the Ming Dynasty.
However, the Ming Dynasty did not seem to have such an idea. It was really just a business dealer. I hope to set up an official agency here and set up an envoy permanent residence. If there are any commodity needs in Bagan, I only need to place an order with the agency, and the agency will help them handle it all.
They just need to wait at home to receive the goods.
The Ming Dynasty was preparing to strengthen the maritime commercial transportation and deliver goods to their doorsteps, so they no longer needed to send a large amount of manpower and material resources to purchase.
Moreover, in terms of price, it will also be more favorable than the original price. It depends on the support of Napoluodi to the agency and the degree of protection for Ming merchants to do business in Bagan.
The Polo Emperor understood everything that Ming Dynasty was selling it at home.
This is nothing strange, but the Polo Dixie thought that these products were obviously very popular and could be sold without any marketing. Countless maritime merchants wanted to get the opportunity to do business with the Ming Dynasty. Why did Daming think of delivering goods to his door?
Song Xiangxi's explanation for this is very simple.
The Ming Dynasty innovated technology and the output of goods was increased. If we just wait for people to come to buy it in the original way, it would cause accumulation of products, so we need to take the initiative to sell Daming's products at a higher frequency and quantity.
Who doesn't want to make more money?
Correspondingly, Daming will also lower the price of products relatively, and you can get discounts by purchasing in large quantities, which is a win-win situation for everyone.
The Polo Dixie nodded, thought for a while, and reluctantly accepted this statement.
But he was still very curious. He didn't know why the Ming Dynasty did not discuss matters with him about the vassal states. As far as he knew, the Ming Dynasty should be accustomed to making small countries outside the territory their vassal states and paying tribute. Why didn't Song Xiangxi say it?
Regarding this question, Song Xiangxi smiled and said that the Ming Dynasty was different from the past.
The Ming Dynasty does not pursue existences like vassal states now. The Ming Dynasty hopes to achieve friendly exchanges with many countries in the world. The Ming Dynasty no longer pursues things like status.
Emperor Polo was surprised by this, but since the other party said that, he didn't need to beg others to be a vassal state. Now as long as the large Ming army retreated from the border, he would be willing to engage in a series of friendly exchanges with the Ming State.
Song Xiangxi expressed his great joy and presented a state gift to Napoluo in the name of the Ming Dynasty.
In the following days, Song Xiangxi and Napoluo Dixi had relatively in-depth exchanges, and also arranged the downstream of Napoluo Dixio Dixio to visit the mountains and rivers of the surrounding areas of the capital, as well as a series of magnificent Buddhist temple buildings.
Napoleon was proud of his wonder buildings, believing that these wonder buildings represented the strength and prosperity of his country, and expressed his faith and piety to the Buddhas, which would definitely be blessed by the Buddhas.
Song Xiangxi had no interest in Buddhism and Taoism. He politely praised the magnificence and luxury of these temple buildings, and also praised the luxurious Buddha statues made of gilded and pure gold. He seemed to like all this very much, but in fact he was quite disdainful.
His eyes were on the ragged and thin laborers on the construction site of the temple building complex that had not been completely completed.
They do not have enough clothes to cover their bodies, they are obviously not getting enough food to fill their stomachs, and they are even less likely to get enough wages to live, but they have to bear such huge and hard heavy physical labor for it.
Men, women, elderly people, children, looking at the children who are only four or five years old but are also driven to carry building materials with adults, he feels uncomfortable in his heart.
This made him unable to help but think that in the past years, the poor people who were driven by the feudal rulers in China, including the young himself who once worked hard for the landlords' families.
Now, Su Yonglin established the Democratic Republic of the Ming Dynasty and ended the suffering of the Chinese people. All this in front of him told him that the suffering in this world has not disappeared.
The world revolution should indeed be promoted.
With such a deep suffering on your body, how can there be no revolutionary soil and flames on this land of worshipping Buddha?
