It turned out that Putmans envied the Portuguese for getting a place on land, namely Macau, and trade with the Ming Dynasty was much more convenient. Therefore, he instructed Aibi Pavilion on the shore to negotiate with the Fujian Governor's Office and wanted to station a place. But unexpectedly, Aibi Pavilion replied that the Central Chief of the State refused at once. He also said that when Western barbarians go to the Ming Dynasty to do business, they must abide by the rules of the Ming Dynasty. Merchants can come, but the warships must not be stopped!

These days, Putmans has been thinking about this matter, seeing how to make Ming officials relax and allow the Netherlands to receive the same treatment as the Portuguese.

However, the Dutch people were not familiar with the Ming Dynasty. When he heard that this person was talking about Ming’s internal affairs and seemed to know the official matters very well, he was very curious and couldn’t help but inquire.

After hearing this, the man did not refuse and told the situation of the Ming Dynasty. It was just based on his purpose, so naturally he would not tell them all truthfully.

"In the north of the Ming Dynasty, there were droughts and countless deaths of starvation, and they reached the point where they changed their children and ate. Therefore, many ordinary people rebelled if they couldn't survive. This chaos affected at least two provinces, which was a big deal, so the court ordered the suppression as soon as possible."

"In the northeast of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was defeated by Jianlu and lost a lot of land. When it was low two years ago, it was even beaten to the capital, which was where the emperor was. The north was plundered by Jianlu and a lot of wealth and population..."

Putmans kept hearing a little confused, as if it was a little different from what he said just now. When he heard this, his eyes lit up and he wanted to interrupt and ask questions, but in the end he suppressed his mind and continued to listen to the person telling the specific situation of the Ming Dynasty.

"Does North Korea know? On the border between the north and the northeast of the Ming Dynasty, it was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. It was attacked by the Japanese state. The Ming Dynasty sent troops to rescue and repel Japanese pirates. But now, North Korea has been occupied by Jianlu, forcing North Korea to transform the Qing Dynasty established by the Lulu into a sect leader and declare war on the Ming Dynasty."

"Also, since the northwest and southwest of the court, there have been chieftains rebelling since the Tianqi period, that is, a few years ago, and the court has sent large troops to suppress it. Even now, it has not completely calmed down!"

"In addition, what just happened was that the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were flooded with several cities, and the miserable terror was everywhere, but many people died, and many people had no home..."

When Putmans heard this, he finally couldn't help but interrupt the man's words and asked with confusion: "It seems that you have said that the Ming Dynasty won consecutive victories in the Northeast and may have to go south by a million troops, but you also explained the various difficulties of the country. Which sentence is true? What do you mean?"

The man smiled and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. He saw that he said without panic: "Actually, what I said below is not contradictory. What I just said is just to tell the adults that the court is not as powerful as the adults imagined. Do you understand? Although it seems that the Ming Dynasty seems to be very big, there are actually many problems inside, and it is just a strong outside and a middle-aged person..."

When Putmans heard this, he showed a hint of contempt. The country was strong if it was large. Where did this fallacy come from? From the local area to the East, he saw many great powers along the way. He also became colonies of European countries and left the Europeans to decide. With these examples, do you think I am ignorant? Haha!

The man obviously didn't expect his inner thoughts and continued, "But if the court handled all those things well, then the strength of the court would be a talk. Do you know why I just said that the court won consecutive victories in Liaodong, which is very likely to solve the Jianlu problem and then turn to Nangu?"

"Why?" Putmans still didn't know the inside story of Mingguo, so he naturally didn't know it, so he asked.

When the man heard this, he curled his lips slightly, and said with a hint of sneer: "Because you are helping the court! This gives the court a chance to recover and suppress and resolve the difficulties in various places!"

"Oh, is that?" Putmans was really surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask in surprise. In his opinion, how could such a thing be done?

When the man saw this, he knew that these Westerners were not good at using their brains, so he directly replied: "Do you understand? Food is the key to solving all problems! Do you understand?"

Speaking of this, seeing Putmans seemingly a little surprised, he immediately added and explained: "Drought in the north, and eating is changed. After all, there is no food or food. Jianlu has been defeated continuously. According to what we learned below, it is because Jianlu has no food and the army cannot eat enough, so it is naturally impossible to win the war! If the Ming army had enough money and food in the northwest and southwest, it would have been pacified by the Ming army! There is also the flood in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and it is time to urgently need food..."

Seeing Putmans suddenly realized, he woke up again: "Now, sir, you should know why the court specifically asked you to transport food from Nanyang? The food you transported and the food from Annan made the court relieve themselves. If you continue to transport food, do you believe that the court has enough food and will soon solve those confidant problems."

Speaking of this, he stood firm and stared at Putmans and said, "Do you do business with the court? Do you hope that the court, the business partner, is strong or weak? "

As long as you are not a fool, you know how to choose this answer!

Putmans is not a fool, otherwise he would not have been transferred to Taiwan by his local government to try to open up East Asia. He heard this and said with a smile on his face: "You have said so much, just want me to join forces with Liu Dadang, knock down the navy of the court, and cut off the Ming Dynasty from the South China Sea. Or in this way, the Ming Dynasty has no hope of opening the sea, so he banned the sea again, and then you can continue to smuggle and make huge profits, right?"

"But do you know that my mission is to transport enough goods back from the East. If Ming Dynasty re-bans the sea..."

Hearing this, the man interrupted directly: "Sir, I'm worried that the Ming Dynasty has banned the sea, but the goods can still go out to sea. Our Liu Dajia has trust and we are all supplied to you. Are you afraid that there are not enough goods?"

"Besides, the court wants to make enough money from the maritime trade. Will it still share all the profits to you? If the court becomes strong and the navy is strong, will it be the Nanyang, and the Western barbarians speak on this coast of Ming Dynasty?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly emphasized earnestly: "There is an old saying in China that people without long-term thinking will have immediate worries! I hope that the adults will consider the suggestions below, whether the business partners are strong or weak, the adults will choose!"
