Valley Emperor

This area was proposed by the Ottoman Kingdom itself and said that it could be sold to the Tang Dynasty, and the money sold was used to offset the cost of various ordnance materials for this aid.

The Datang people initially refused. These shabby places have nothing to do with what they want to do. In the entire North African region, the Datang people can see the Nile River Plain and a canal area. , In other places, Datang's attitude is very casual.

But the Ottoman Kingdom begged bitterly, saying that they had no money in their pockets, please do good to the empire and collect this place, otherwise we would have no money to buy ordnance.

Considering that the Ottoman Kingdom was indeed poor, and the Tatar Golden Kingdom in the north had put too much pressure on them in the past two years, the Tang Empire pinched its nose and recognized these broken places.

However, the Datang Empire firmly believed that these ruined places were not worth much, and they were only willing to give 800,000 Tang Yuan.

The Ottoman Kingdom definitely wanted to raise the price a bit, saying that these places are big enough, no matter how much they drop, they can be worth three million Tang Yuan!

This is the main difference between the two sides!

It is said that the indigenous kingdoms of these years are particularly fond of selling their territories for money. Most of the indigenous countries that have contact with Datang, such as Portugal, Spain, England, Scotland, etc., have sold their territories to Datang.

The United Kingdom of Portugal and Spain sold the entire African colony and half of the South American colonies to the Tang Empire.

The Ottoman Kingdom also sold all of Egypt and the peninsula to the Tang Dynasty.

Other countries are no exception. The most typical example is Datang's embassy districts in various places. Many of these embassy districts are territories directly purchased by Datang.

Whether legally or in any other name, these places are all serious Tang territory.

The remaining part of the embassy area is also leased for a long time. The lease term basically starts in a hundred years and is not capped in a thousand years.

If you haven't done territorial transactions with the Tang Empire these days, you'd be embarrassed to say that you are a serious country.

Even now, seeing that the cost of war in Europe is getting bigger and bigger, in fact, many indigenous countries are negotiating with Datang to sell their territories.

For example, the United Kingdom of Spain and Portugal has negotiated with the Datang Empire for a long time. What are they negotiating? Naturally, it was negotiating the American colony of the United Kingdom of Spain and Portugal. The Tang Dynasty wanted to buy this place. Spain was a little hesitant, but it did not say that it would not sell it. The difference between the two sides is that the price cannot be agreed.

The lions in Spain opened their mouths and offered a sky-high price of 50 million Tang Yuan for these colonies. The Tang Empire only offered 10 million Tang Yuan. close.

These indigenous countries like to sell their territories to the Tang people. On the one hand, these indigenous countries do not have the concept of a country or nation. To put it bluntly, these territories are actually the territories of various royal families and great nobles, and other royal families and nobles transfer their territories. , that's right and proper, and this kind of territorial trade has often occurred between the indigenous kingdoms of Europe.

On the other hand, because the Datang people are rich and generous, as long as the Datang people are willing to ask for it and meet the needs of the Datang people, the Datang people will not be reluctant to give up money.

I didn't see Spain shouting 50 million Tang Yuan for the price of the American colonies, but the Tang people didn't say that they would reject it outright, but they continued to talk about the price of 10 million.

Even if it is 10 million Tang Yuan, this is an astronomical figure. Now the Spanish royal family receives no more than 500,000 Tang Yuan from the American colonies (including the Portuguese colonies) every year.

And most importantly, this number is still falling further.

The reason for the continuous decline in revenue is that Atlantic shipping and commerce are almost monopolized by Datang, from which they have obtained a lot of profits.

In addition, the most critical point is that since the Tang Dynasty adopted the gold standard and the production of silver in the Americas and other regions has risen sharply, the value of silver has plummeted rapidly. In the early years, the exchange ratio of gold and silver was still six to one.

But now, it has been reduced to fifteen to one.

Datang people searched for gold all over the world, and at the same time sold silver all over the world.

You have to know that Datang Talent is the largest silver producer in the world. When Datang people trade overseas, they basically use silver to pay bills, but when they receive money, they tend to receive gold or Datang currency. silver……

This has caused great fluctuations in other countries in the world that are still using the silver standard or the double standard. Silver is pouring in in large quantities, but it is becoming less and less valuable, and gold is becoming more and more valuable, but they have no gold...

The devaluation of silver led to massive inflation on the European continent, which was the main factor that further reduced the colonial income of the Spanish kings in the Americas, as well as domestic income.

Now the Spanish royal family owes the Datang people more than 10 million Tang Yuan, and the annual interest is in the millions. Basically, the annual income from American colonization is not enough to exchange the interest. If it is not for the Datang people to need Spain to fight against the Tatars , If the repayment period of principal and interest is extended many times, the finances of the Spanish royal family would have been bankrupt long ago.

The Spanish royal family is not well, and other indigenous countries are even more difficult.

It is understandable that there is no money to start buying.

It's just that the scale of military assistance this time is relatively large, and the total cost is estimated to be 3 million Tang yuan, so it is not enough to just sell these three areas, and the Ottoman Kingdom is ready to borrow the remaining money.

This loan must be mortgaged. The Ottoman Kingdom originally wanted to use the territory as mortgage, but it was directly rejected by the Tang Dynasty. What a joke, buying the three places in North Africa is already to give you face, and they forced other land to come over, Really think we Datang people are collecting junk!

Therefore, Datang people proposed another transaction method. Mortgage, you can use tariffs or other mortgages~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Anyway, you can't receive a few money for customs duties. The money is repaid on the loan, and the customs will give it back to you at any time.

This tariff issue is the focus of this time the two sides negotiate business issues.

In fact, this time the negotiation has only two cores. One is the safety of navigation in the Black Sea Strait, and the other is the arms transaction. As for territorial transactions and tariffs, those are just incidental issues of the arms deal.

In this negotiation, the package deal on ordnance was relatively smooth. Datang people's attitude was very tough. The price of ordnance is this price, whether I like to buy it or not; the three territories of North Africa are charged at this price, and I like to sell it or not; the loan is only this interest. , love loan not loan!

Therefore, the Ottoman Kingdom only persisted for a few days, that is, they agreed to these conditions, and the two sides reached an agreement smoothly!

However, on the issue of navigation safety in the Black Sea Strait, it is more difficult for the two sides to reach an agreement!

Datang insisted on setting up defense zones on both sides of the strait. Naturally, the Ottoman Kingdom would not give in easily. After retreating, the capital would be gone...
