In fact, he himself didn't remember Li Dan's teaching name. When he thought about it, he said it casually, but he really didn't expect it to have a miraculous effect.

Philip had never heard of the famous Li Dan as a Catholic!

Li Dan felt that this was like a help from God!

He saw Philip's eyes suddenly lit up.

There is no way, let alone the Portuguese monks baptized him, even Spanish monks would probably dislike mentioning that they had done such a failed missionary.

Li Dan's identity undoubtedly brought the two people closer in Philip's heart. This sense of human nature is mysterious and even unreasonable.

Everyone Philip met every day was Catholic, but those people would not bring him such a sense of intimacy.

It was precisely the appearance of Li Dan, a Ming man who had never met him. Ping felt close to this relationship, just like meeting a fellow villager in a foreign country, which was a sense of security that people suddenly got when they were surrounded by uneasiness.

Sometimes this sense of security will gradually fade away without other conditions, but sometimes it will quickly enhance the relationship between the two parties.

His Highness the King remained silent. He knew very well that he was very good at Li Dan, but what they were talking about now was not a private matter. He slowly described: "This is so vast, I need to know more accurate situations, for example, the first benefit is not to be an enemy of the Ming Empire, so where is the boundary between the Ming Empire?"

"Is General Chen satisfied with his victory and governing New Spain, and renting Sevilla, or is he accumulating strength to prepare for the next war? What I want is not a guarantee, but I want to know what you want."

Philip never understood what Chen Mu was doing. If he talked about hostility, even if Chen Mu did nothing, the Spanish would think that the Ming Empire had extremely high hostility and threats to them.

However, the Ming Dynasty did not take away the silver-producing Peru after the war, the West Indies, which was rich and strategically located, but chose the desolate and difficult northern America, half of New Spain, and a desert in South America.

Just as Philip did not understand why the Spanish ruled the New World had to face the endless rebellion of Indians, but the Ming Empire was able to smoothly assemble them to form households and people.

This phenomenon can be attributed to the cognitive gap, which is manifested as a small number of Spanish monks who did not hold great power mentioned giving Indians the power to be ‘humans’, but that was only for religious purposes and a little bit of budding humanistic thought.

The view that affirmed human values ​​and valued human nature during the Renaissance changed the inherent cognition of feudal society, but the changes were limited in a short period of time.

The Renaissance that took place in Europe was very great, but had little reference value to the Ming Dynasty. First of all, this was the bourgeois people who gained part of the discourse power of the feudal aristocracy in the past through wealth accumulation and enhanced their status, but it had no close relationship with the largest number of peasants.

Secondly, even if the peasants are banished, it is useless, because there was no theological constraints in ancient China at all. What is the constraints of human nature? Even the mating postures are stipulated by the church, and only missionaries are allowed.

There was no Ming Dynasty. Not only did the Ming Dynasty not have it, but it was not a little greedy for pleasure until the ceremony collapsed. It was painted on the paintings, on bottles, on bottles, on the canopy, on the sea, and on the whole world, including the whole Europe, standing, holding, sitting, lying, on the side, cross-legged, in the pavilion, on the wild, on the horse, greatly enriching the experience and knowledge of the European people.

Let them know what true freedom is!

Last year, when did people look like peach blossoms in this sect? Well?

Philip doesn't understand too many things.

"The Ming Dynasty wants to make friends and make money, and it has no intention of conquering more of your land. When my adoptive father asked me to come, he specifically instructed me that the two countries of Ming and Western countries do not know much, and they value each other and need different things. I must deal with it carefully."

"My adoptive father is not a person who is easy to get along with. According to his opinion, due to insufficient understanding and poor communication, Ming and Western countries could only complete dialogue with guns and cannons. Now Spain can't speak, so they can only adapt."

Philip was confident. Although he lost twice, he still said: "If the war begins again, the Ming Empire may not be able to win as smoothly as it does on the Spanish sea."

Li Dan nodded and recognized him.

Philip is right. The Spanish fleet has good combat power. He estimated that if he wants to fight a meaningless war of maritime scores, the Oriental Military Office, which has built an Asian outpost in five or ten years, may have the power to fight a battle, but according to the current situation, it is still necessary for Beiyang to have strong logistical capabilities to fight a battle off the coast of Spain.

At least the size of the fleet must be equal in order to fight. The strength of a ship in the decisive battle will not play a decisive role. Maybe it is unlucky to catch a rock cannon and get a big hole in it.

But fools are fighting. As long as three Liujia fleets attack the coastal port day and night, burn one port this month, burn one city next month, run away after grabbing it. You can’t live in Spain, and the Netherlands rebellion will be quelled?

"Don't worry, my great master, I am not my adoptive father. I have handed over the full power of Seville's leased land and Spanish affairs to me. I only know a few superficial truths."

"First, there are many ways to make money, and war comes and goes quickly."

"Second, if you are nice to me, I will be nice to you; the same goes for the other way around."

"Third, I, Li Dan, promised others what I have to do no matter what, no matter what."

"Fourth, if you do something wrong, you must correct it."

"Now I believe that the king wants to trade with the king, and promise to sell the goods to the king at a price lower than 10% of the market price. If you earn the tariff, you will get another 10% of the king, and then you will get another 10% of the local taxes to the royal family."

Li Dan said something and raised a finger with his left hand. When the five fingers were opened, he slowly lowered his hand and looked at Philip and said, "Now, what can the king give me? A piece of land that has no port to raise pigs?"

Fei Laoer took a breath slowly. To be honest, Li Dan said that Chen Mu was not easy to get along with, but in fact, His Highness the King felt that Chen Mu was easy to deal with... At least he could just listen to whatever he said, without guessing or thinking, and he firmly believed in one truth.

If his fist is big, he will bully you; if you have big fist, you will bully him - this person's eyes win or lose is everything.

But Li Dan is different. Philip thinks Li Dan is even more difficult to deal with because he looks like a woman.

This is not a derogatory meaning, but the difference between Li Dan and Chen Mu. Chen Mu will tell people what consequences will be caused if they don’t listen to him, and then tell you what you should do.

Li Dan will not tell you the consequences and will give you the right to choose, so that you can choose the answer he hopes you will choose. All the wrong answers will bear the consequences he did not say.

This feeling is strange. The king should not be afraid of a foreign minister, but Philip is indeed a little worried about saying the wrong thing at this moment.

Even for a moment, he was worried.

"I personally can accept that people like you manage part of Seville in my kingdom, but as kings of Spain, Portugal, England and the Low Countries, I cannot accept tariffs that are fully controlled by the Ming Empire. You are different from merchants, so I need to sign a new treaty."

"Like you said, you are good to me, I am good to you. The treaty has not changed substantially, but the tariffs and so-called extraterritorial entries need to be re-written."

"In return, I agree to rent all the west bank of the rivers in Seville to the Ming Empire with the boundary of the inland rivers, and hired His Excellency Li Dan, the Governor of New Seville, to serve as the Grand Tax Officer and the ** Officer of New Seville. The salary is 66% of the tariff income of the leased land, of which 33% is the allocation for the construction of the leased land, and the other 33% is paid to the Eastern Military Office of the Ming Empire as the employment fund, which is paid by the royal court, with a time limit of one hundred years."

Li Dan held his hands in front of him. He knew what Philip's words meant. He pondered for a moment and looked up and said, "Sixty-seven, I can't let you make that little profit!"
