This also is a flagrant infringement of the usage of my Empire and cannot possibly be entertained. . . . [T]he barbarian merchants of Europe have had a definite locality assigned to them at Aomen for residence and trade, and have been forbidden to encroach an inch beyond the limits assigned to that locality.
