Chapter 10107 Chu Yun's decision

"Ahem, is this really what your king mean?" Chu Yun heard from Earl of Compton that Charles I planned to marry Princess Sophia to him and also accompanied a piece of West Indies colony as a dowry, and the tea in his mouth almost spewed out.

According to Chu Yun's understanding, Europe generally only engages in intermarriage between royal families or nobles, and values ​​bloodlines more. How could he think of marrying a princess to the East?

"This is the will of His Majesty our king. The powerful East is qualified to marry us in Britain. If you can accept the good wishes of our king and our two countries form an alliance, you can travel all the seas and monopolize all the seas." said Earl of Compton.

He first met the ruler of the East. Chu Yun, who had children at this time, was not as young as when he was raised from southern Liaoning, but he was still a little younger than Charlie I.

"I gave up on the good intentions of your king, so I gave up on this matter. In my opinion, political marriage is not as strong as the trade treaty. We should stick to the spirit of the contract, right?" Chu Yun waved the trade treaty with the seal and signature of King Charles I.

Several British nobles who came with him looked at Compton. They did not expect that Chu Yun politely declined their intermarriage request without much consideration, which made them at a loss for a moment. You should know that Princess Sophia is a bit beautiful as the princess of Britain, and many European royal families want to marry Princess Sophia.

Earl of Compton also found it difficult to deal with, and Chu Yun blocked the marriage road in an instant.

Fortunately, Chu Yun gave them a way out.

"Of course we will stick to the spirit of contract. This is the basis of our cooperation. Contracts are as inviolable as private property." Earl Compton walked down the steps and was reluctant to give up, so he had to sacrifice Princess Sophia's face a little. "In fact, this matter is not entirely for political marriage. Princess Sophia admires your talent and is willing to marry you. Please do not let down the wishes of a woman who admires you. As a dowry in the West Indies, it is not to curry favor with your country, but His Majesty the King wants his sister to be treated preferentially after marriage. I wonder if it is the dowry that makes you dissatisfied, or do you think the princess makes you dissatisfied?"

Chu Yun had a headache when he saw that Earl of Compton repeatedly promoted Princess Sophia to him. He had heard that the beauties in the Emperor's harem were 3,000, but in fact, who had the energy to deal with the relationship between women? Should he still concentrate on governing the country?

Chu Yun now holds six meetings every day, and wants to use troops everywhere, formulate modern laws and develop various advanced technologies, and is busy every day. Moreover, Ella, who was born as a naval officer, is so physical and energy that she is unimaginable. After giving birth, she has a tendency to be dissatisfied with desires, which makes Chu Yun cope with her alone. In addition, she doesn’t know what to do about Da Yuer’s affairs in the end...

"It's not that I don't want to be a colony in the West Indies, nor is it that Princess Sophia is not bad. It's just that I personally believe that Princess Sophia can find a better candidate. She doesn't need to stay in our capital in this capacity. She is now a student overseas at the Capital University. As long as she can afford the tuition, she can stay in the capital forever."

"According to the terms of the British royal family in the Trade Treaty, we will provide a considerable annuity every year to the royal family. As the royal family generously grants us Chinese merchants the right to set up factories and trade in London and to formulate counties. Part of this annuity will be used as the need for Princess Sophia to live in the East, so you don't have to worry that Princess Sophia will fall into our capital." Chu Yun still politely declined Charles I's kindness.

No matter what, if the British royal family penetrates, Chu Yun doesn't know how to face Britain in the future. If he breaks his face with Britain due to trade and other disputes in the future, Princess Sophia will be the one who will be cheating.

Seeing that he could not convince Chu Yun, Earl Compton had to change his words: "If you think that we both need to deepen our relationship, as long as Princess Sophia has no other lovers, you can just mention it."

"During the trade treaty, do your country have too strict requirements on our missionaries in your country? As far as I know, many missionaries are quite down and out of your country. I wonder if the relevant restrictions can be lifted?" A bishop who followed the envoys put forward new requirements for Chu Yun.

"No, this restriction cannot be changed. We do not oppose the arrival of missionaries, but we focus on Confucianism and pay attention to human ethics such as benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. We respect your country's culture and hope that your country will respect our culture." Chu Yun's refusal this time is more straightforward than Princess Sophia's incident.

The bishop had a lot of complaints about this, but Chu Yun was so direct, so he couldn't continue to protest to Chu Yun, after all, this was just a trade treaty. Moreover, since the Tang Dynasty, missionaries have arrived in Zhongtu and have not made any progress. The people here seemed to be more interested in practical clay sculptures such as Land, City God, Mazu, and Master Guan.

"All shareholders and directors of East India Company have signed a share transfer letter to sell 90% of the shares of East India Company. Please check it out." Earl Compton saw that the marriage and missionary matters were rejected by Chu Yun, so he had to jump to the main business.

Although there are some other agreements in the trade treaty, the majority of them are to open customs, agree on tariffs, and exchange interests!

The Kyushu Army wanted to trade directly with the West and expand overseas markets, while Britain wanted to become Europe's only agent in the East and obtain commercial offers to become the strongest country in Europe.

Chu Yun took over the equity transfer letter. The equity transfer letter contained Charles I's handwriting, as well as the seals of the King, the Privy Council, and the East India Company. After six meetings passed, Chu Yun personally stamped it on it, so the equity transfer letter was reached and became a witness to an era.

"We will organize fleets and personnel to go to Mughals to accept the assets of the East India Company, and set up branches in Britain." Chu Yun said.

"I hope that the fleet sent by your country to the Mughals will not be too large, otherwise it will cause panic in the Mughal Empire. As far as I know, the Western Jiaozhi Province established by your country, the Tubo Province is only separated from the Mughals by mountains. The Mughal Empire is quite guarded against you. If they find that the East India Company has actually been transferred to you, they will probably regain the privileges given to the East India Company. There are also Portuguese in India and other places, and the Netherlands are active, and we are trying to seize their chassis." Earl of Compton reminded.
