Chapter 1151： fill the pit

   "You mean partial tax exemption?" Mu Yangling looked at the two children in astonishment, this is too amazing, how did these two boys think of this?

It's not that she didn't think about making such a proposal before, but firstly, she was not good at economic facts, and secondly, Qi Haoran and others didn't pay attention to it, so she hadn't figured out how to propose it.

Unexpectedly, it was brought up by two children now.

Mu Yangling was overjoyed, took Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong's hands and said, "You guys are really amazing, how does this little head melon seed grow?"

Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong bowed their heads a little embarrassedly, "But Auntie, we made a temporary decision, and we didn't choose which ones are exempt from tax and which ones are not, so..."

Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong only brought up such a thing to cheat each other, and they have little knowledge of foreign trade, but they still have basic common sense, "foreigners' spices, gems, ivory, etc. are not tax-free, but other..."

Qi Haoran immediately got up and said solemnly: "Cannons can be exempted from tax, but all weapons can only be traded to the imperial court, including but not limited to cannons, muskets, swords, etc. Wen Chen, don't take it seriously, only give They put forward a rough scope, and then let the people from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War negotiate with them."

Xiaobao nodded and asked, "What about our tax-free proposal?"

"It's best to use handicrafts," Mu Yangling said, "and import duty-free products should mostly be based on raw materials, such as grain, wood, minerals, etc."

Mu Yangling only opened a mouth, Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong immediately understood, "This is to use their resources to support our people in Daqi!"

Mu Yangling nodded, not having any psychological burden on them.

The remaining little ones were confused, the tiger head habitually didn't know how to look at the little lion, and the little lion turned to look at Xiao An, Xiao An woke up from "everyone is so shrewd" and explained in a low voice: " Daqi now has a large trade balance, more exports, less imports, and most of what is shipped back is gold and silver. This thing looks good, but in fact, money is money, and it is also bought from our people in Daqi. If things go on like this, in addition to With more money, our Daqi didn’t gain anything, but lost a lot of silk, china and tea…”

The complexity of the    import-export ratio is that modern Ph.D.s in economics can’t handle it, let alone Xiao An, this little brat?

But he will look at the problem with the simplest eyes. The aunt said that in addition to their own functions, the most important thing for gold and silver is the currency representation, just money, which is a measure of the value of transaction items.

If Daqi can only bring back a large amount of gold and silver from abroad, the explanation for their function is that they just obtained something to measure the value of the traded items, and they are just a bunch of numbers without buying things with gold and silver.

The trade surplus and deficit are too large, not only the Western countries are unwilling, but also the Daqi.

Western countries use a large amount of gold and silver to import various high-level consumables such as satin, porcelain and tea from Daqi, but their own products cannot be sold, which is also detrimental to their interests.

But now the initiative is in the hands of Daqi, so they have a lot of say in tax-free products.

Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong heard Xiaoan's explanation to the younger brothers, and immediately pulled him into the discussion group, and the three discussed it together.

The tiger heads were unwilling to be lonely, and stood aside to help them come up with various ideas, such as duty-free things, from rice, wheat, flour, soybeans, various meats to cannons, muskets and other items.

Xiao An wrote and recorded them one by one, intending to screen them again afterward.

Several children were still not satisfied, and Mu Yangling watched with relish. Qi Haoran suddenly asked: "Is it really okay for you to throw the guests in the flower hall like this?"

There was silence in the house, Xiaobao and Bear jumped up, "We forgot!"

The two ran to the door and ran back to Lamuyangling, "We promised them to see you."

Qi Haoran rolled his eyes, got up and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, and say I stopped it, but I didn't stop it in the end..."

Xiaobao admired the fourth uncle for daring to sacrifice his image, Qi Haoran patted him on the head when he met his eyes, and said, "Don't think nonsense, hurry up and open the way."

Anyway, the whole world knows that he is afraid of being inward, even if it is revealed in front of foreigners, it is nothing.

Mu Yangling followed behind them with a smile and pulled Qi Haoran's hand.

Qi Haoran's face looked good. He lowered his wide sleeves to cover their hands, grabbed hers, and followed the two children to the flower hall without looking away.

Andre and Antonio were waiting impatiently. Seeing Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong coming in, their ugly expressions softened slightly. When they saw Qi Haoran and his wife following behind, they were shocked, and then Yixi.

Although Qi Haoran's arrival was an accident, it also showed that he attached great importance to his wife. If they can win Mu Yangling, the success of the negotiation will be very high.

The two looked at each other and looked at Mu Yangling with utmost sincerity.

Antonio may not have noticed, but in just a few days, the pride he has always been proud of has been almost worn down at this time.

Before coming, the four had decided on the division of labor. Mu Yangling was going to play the role of a strong but loving wife, Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong were teenagers eager to make meritorious deeds, and Qi Haoran was a fearful prince who loved his wife. Lie and others didn't like it very much, but they had to take a step back and start discussing tax exemption with the other party.

Needless to say, Qi Haoran, Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong's acting skills are not bad. These two boys used to cheat people, so they learned to open their eyes and talk nonsense. Mu Yangling can't match them, but Andre and Antonio didn't take it to heart, because Qi Haoran kept glaring at her or yelling at her, saying that this was an important matter of the court, and she was a woman and could not interfere.

But Mu Yangling stared back fearlessly under the eyes of the two children Baba, Qi Haoran could only resign.

Andre and Antonio were stunned by the way Qi Haoran and his wife got along, so they really didn't pay attention to Mu Yangling's slightly unnatural look.

It is said that Prince Rong is afraid of nai, but he does not know that this is the way the Han people are afraid of nai, which is different from the dread-nai husband known to Antonio.

"Oh, the French ambassador Louis is also intimidated. As long as his wife stands up, he doesn't even dare to say anything." On the way back, Antonio said confusedly: "But this prince clearly dares to attack his wife. Yelling and slapping the table, why would you agree to her unreasonable request?"

Andre's mind flashed the image of Mu Yangling carrying the cannon up the mountain, and blushed: "Maybe it's because his wife is very powerful, he only dares to slap the table like this, but he doesn't dare to actually do it? "

Antonio shook his head slowly and said, "No, because he loves her!"

Qi Haoran looked at his wife with very gentle eyes. Even if he patted the table and stared at him, the love in his eyes never diminished. He compromised because of love, and this kind of deal was more stable.

"Although it is only a partial tax exemption, it can be considered to open a gap. As long as this step is taken, we can go further in the future. We must quickly list the tax-free goods so that we can deal with Daqi officials."

In the end, Qi Haoran only agreed to part of the tax exemption, but the request was made by both parties. However, in order to show the kindness of the emperor, Qi Haoran said that the best-selling items in Daqi would not enter the tax-free ranks, and the list of tax-free in Daqi would be less than that in Spain. , try to benefit them as much as possible.

Andre and Antonio were very satisfied with getting such an answer.
