The group entered the Lifan Division of the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of Rites, the Chief of the Lifan Division, and other more than a dozen officials, and waited in the Yishu Division for a long time.

At this time, after everyone greeted, Ming Dynasty officials sat down on one side of the long table, while Qian Bingding greeted envoys from various countries and sat on the other side.

When both sides sat down, Jinbao, the head of the Rifan Court, picked up a file and said to everyone: "I'm going to come today, the purpose is to discuss together and sign this agreement."

Sanada Shindo and others only saw the prepared textbooks and pens in front of them, and they couldn't help but frown.

Chen Mingxia, the Minister of Rites, smiled and said, "You can take a look first. If you have any questions, you can ask or give your opinions. It is best to sign it today."

After Chen Mingxia surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he was appointed as the Minister of Rites. This time, signing an agreement with the countries was the first job he received, so he was a little anxious.

When everyone heard the words, the messenger of Dongyu frowned slightly, but he still picked up the text and turned it over.

Sanada Channel quickly read the document, which required all countries to open and switch them all to exempt Ming Dynasty goods from tariffs. Of course, the Ming Dynasty did not impose tariffs on goods from various countries. In addition, in addition, domestic agreements, merchants from various countries can trade at will, which is equivalent to their own merchants.

Before the signing of the treaty, the trade relationship between the Ming Dynasty and them was still trade between countries. After signing, the trade relationship was like trade between provinces.

In terms of terms, this treaty can be said to be fair to both parties and enjoy the same status. The responsibilities and obligations of both parties are the same. However, from the actual situation, once an agreement is signed, the business of various countries will definitely be gradually controlled by the Ming Dynasty, become part of the Ming Dynasty, and eventually become a vassal.

This is because the business in the Ming Dynasty is far stronger than that of all countries, and both sides have opened up the market, and for all countries that have not yet developed, they will undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.

Sanada Shindo closed the document, was silent for a while, and said, "Mr. Left Assistant, the Tokugawa family sent me to come, hoping that the Ming Dynasty could solve the problem of smuggling between the Han Dynasty and Shimazu, Uesugi, Ida and other vassals. This agreement did not give the Tokugawa family an explanation, but instead asked the Tokugawa family to be further opened. I have objections to this!"

Chen Mingxia frowned slightly, and Jinbao, the head of the Rifan Institution, smiled and said, "Ninsang, after signing this agreement, it can solve the Tokugawa family's problems!"

Jinbao was familiar with Sanada Shindo. After meeting him several times, Sanada Shindo frowned and said, "Forgive me for being ignorant, I don't understand what Jinsang means."

Chen Mingxia said: "It is indeed wrong for Han merchants to smuggle with Shimazu and Uesugi, but their purpose is just to be able to do business with Japan. If the Tokugawa family signs an agreement, joins this economic agreement, and opens the port, then Han merchants will naturally not need to smuggle. Wouldn't the problem be decided?"

"Baga, the road!" Shindo Sanada's face turned red and he cursed in his heart, but it did not explode in the end.

After the demise of the Toyotomi family, the Tokugawa family ruled Japan, but this rule was not like China, establishing a centralized and high-energy country, but was still in a low-energy state of feudal separatism.

In Japan, the Daimai ruled the country, especially many foreign Daimai, because of the failure of the war, and was not a retainer of the Tokugawa family, so it was not loyal to the Tokugawa family.

Japan can maintain peace now mainly because the Tokugawa family has the greatest influence. Once the Tokugawa family declines, there will be dissatisfaction with Daming.

For this reason, in order to maintain the rule, the Tokugawa family has always tried to suppress domestic daimyos, especially those foreign daimyos.

The Tokugawa family was an important means to strengthen its own strength and suppress foreign Daimai.

This can reduce the income of the foreign daimyo and enrich the Tokugawa family's treasury, so the Tokugawa family is very disgusted with Han merchants and smuggling trade in Japan.

Because this is the foundation of the Tokugawa family that shakes the rule of the Tokugawa family.

Now the Ming Dynasty not only does not prohibit smuggling, but also wants to legalize it. Sanada Shindo is naturally furious and angry with the shamelessness of the Ming Dynasty.

Shindo Sanada's face was gloomy, "Sir Zuo Shilang, the Shu Tokugawa family cannot accept this solution!"

Chen Mingxia raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "Although Japan has opened its doors to the Ming and Han countries, at the same time, Japanese merchants can also come to the Ming and Han countries to do business without restrictions. This is good for both parties. Why can't you accept it?"

Chen Mingxia felt quite conscientious about such fair conditions, and he felt a little angry at Sanada Shindo's rejection.

Seeing that the talk was about to collapse, Jinbao hurriedly said, "Xinsang, this agreement is mutual benefit and common prosperity. Once signed, Japan's Japanese swords, folding fans, and many other commodities can enter the Ming Dynasty, which can bring huge benefits to Japan!"

After thinking for a long time, Jinbao only thought about the two more competitive products, Japanese swords and paper fans. If they were fully opened, there would definitely be a huge deficit in Japan's trade in the early stage, and they could only rely on Japanese women to go overseas to earn foreign exchange. But in the long run, Japan's ability to enter the Ming Dynasty market will inevitably stimulate the Japanese economy and make the Japanese people gradually rich.

However, the price of this prosperity is that Japan gradually blends with the Ming Dynasty, first economically integrated, then culture and military, and finally becomes a part of the Greater Chinese civilization circle, losing its independence and its own personality.

Sanada Shindo was indifferent and silent.

Chen Mingxia frowned and turned to ask the other envoys, "Where are you?"

The Siam envoy hurriedly smiled and said, "The Siam Kingdom has long wanted to join the Ming family and become a glorious tribute country. We in Siam have no objection to the agreement, so I will sign it now!"

After saying that, the Siam envoy immediately picked up the brush, turned to the end of the agreement, and picked up the pen to sign.

When the Annan Ruan tribe saw that Siam was signed, he immediately signed the contract in advance. However, when the Nguyen tribe signed the contract, Zheng naturally did not dare not to sign it.

Most of these countries are relatively weak and do not have the ability to dominate one side, so they are not as good as signing a contract and following the Ming Dynasty to enjoy the delicious food and drink.

At this time, there were only two envoys from two countries left in the room, one of whom was Dongshuo and the other one of whom had no signs.

Chen Mingxia asked the envoy of Dongyu, "Dongyu has any objections?"

If Toho can sign, then only Japan will be left. Chen Mingxia wants to sign a contract if everyone signs.

In this way, he completed the first major event he presided over after surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, laying the foundation for the future.

The envoy of Touo, with a gloomy face, suddenly threw the document on the table, "The country of Touo will never sign such a thing!"

Shindo Sanada was silent. He didn't want to sign a contract, but he didn't want to offend the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, he heard the words of the envoy of Touo, and saw Touo stand up first and argue with the Ming Dynasty, so he quickly said in a deep voice: "The Tokugawa family only leaves Nagasaki Port for trade. I also ask the Ming and Han Kingdom to stop smuggling in Japan and take normal trade in Nagasaki Port!"

His words were not as tough as Dongxu, but it also meant he had clearly refused to sign the contract.
Chapter completed!
