Kai Fu Han

Chapter 195
"I hope Alliance Leader Liu will forgive me. Our clan really cannot agree to this. The Japanese government has given my clan the task of guarding Tuima Island. We must never do anything like leasing land." Zong Laimao refused.

"Young Master Zong came to me this time not only because he wanted to redeem the captives from the Ma Kingdom, right? You have also seen the sea beasts of our Xinghan Alliance in the past two days. How do you feel?" Liu Xinqi looked at it. When inducements fail, they increase threats.

"It's indeed mighty." Zong Laimao didn't know why, but he already felt that something was wrong.

"To tell you the truth, these fairy beasts are actually the monsters we conquered in the Japanese Sea. These monsters are as smart as ordinary people and can understand human language." Liu Xinqi introduced.

"That's really magical." Soraimo continued.

"But one bad thing is that only our Xinghan League people can control these monsters, and they are unwilling to leave the Japanese waters. If we Xinghan League people are here, we can still control these monsters without hurting people, barely. Use them as 'fairy beasts' to help us hunt big fish. If we from the Xinghan League leave, these monsters will be out of control and bite the humans in this sea area, and then all life will be ruined." Liu Xinqi raised his head and sighed after saying this. : "Hey, there is really no way to deal with these monsters for the time being."

After listening to Liu Xinqi's words, Zong Laimao turned pale.The middle-aged man sitting next to him quickly pulled his arm to stop him from getting angry.

Liu Xinqi's words meant to threaten the Zong family. If the Xinghan Alliance could not transit on Yuma Island, the people on Yuma Island would definitely be attacked by these big sharks when they went to sea.

The largest ship of the Japanese nation is the morning ship-guan ship, with a maximum load of [-] stone. Although this kind of ship is not afraid of sharks, their fishing boats are small boats and cannot withstand the attacks of large sharks.

There is only a small amount of arable land on Tuima Island, and most of the food sources are still supported by fisheries. Without fisheries as a food source, most of the people on the island will starve to death.

"This matter is too important. I need to go back to my hometown to discuss it with my father before I can decide." Zong Laimao resisted the urge to explode and planned to delay it.

"Of course we need to make a decision after discussing with your lord, Lord Zong. We still need to repair the ships here recently, so there is no rush." ​​Liu Xinqi replied shamelessly, saying that if they didn't come up with a decision, he would not leave.

……

The Zong family did not keep Liu Xinqi waiting for long.

At the end of August [-]th, Soraimo took a boat to Tuimanan Port again. This time, more people came ashore than last time, six.

"Why do they have to swallow their anger so much?" Cui Wu didn't understand. As a local leader, the Zong family, with the support of the Japanese country, could really suppress the Xinghan Alliance.

"I guess they may have lost most of our young men in this attack, so we are now unable to resist. And even if they resist, the Japanese country will support them, but the ones who are at the forefront and suffer the heaviest losses will definitely be their clan, and in the end it will be It will be benefited by fishermen from other families." Liu Xinqi guessed.

Cui Wu was silent, the stakes here were too complicated.

The two welcomed the Zong family members into Liu Xinqi's room, and Li Cang also rushed over.Nine people crowded this small room to the max, barely able to sit down, with a log table placed in the middle.

After introducing each other and greeting each other.

"I wonder how your family's discussions are going? Are you willing to let our Xinghan League lease Tuima Nangang?" Liu Xinqi asked.

The person in charge of the Zong family’s negotiations this time is still Zong Laimao:
"My father has considered that you really need this place to rest and recuperate, and has discussed with the family elders and decided that Yuma Nangang can be leased to you, but the premise is that we have a condition, and you must agree." "Let's talk about it." Liu Xinqi replied.

"The sales of your Xinghan League's goods in Japan must be underwritten by our Zong family and cannot be sold to a second family." Zong Laimao said.

As soon as Liu Xinqi heard this request, he understood that the Zong family had no good intentions. He would definitely not agree to such a thing as underwriting, as he was too controlled by others.

"This request is impossible. If we ask you to underwrite the sales and lower the price, our Xinghan Alliance will not run away in vain and make wedding clothes for your clan." Liu Xinqi refused.

"Please rest assured on this point, our Zong family's price will definitely satisfy you." Zong Laimao replied.

"Your guarantee is not credible. Our two families have not yet established mutual trust. The people from Huima Island who attacked our Xinghan Alliance ship were still working outside the house, so the underwriting is absolutely impossible and there is no need to talk about it anymore. But we originally planned to Cultivate a distributor for each Tao in the Japanese country. Since you mentioned it, I can now promise your clan to give you the distribution rights of a Tao. You can choose this Tao at will."

Asking for prices all over the sky and paying back the money on the ground, Liu Xinqi set out the conditions for the prosperity of the Han League.

The Japanese country now has a total of five kis and seven roads. From west to east they are Saikaido, Sanyodo, Nankaido, Sanyodo, Tokai Island, Hokurikudo, and Higashiyamado. The "Kinei" located in the middle includes Yamashiro, Yamato, Hanoi, Izumi and Settsu "Five Kingdoms".

Waguo Heianjing is located in the mountain city.

Hizen Country, where this trade was conducted, and Tsuuma Country, where it is currently located, are both located in Saikaidō.Hokkaido in later generations is now called Ezoji, and it is not yet under the jurisdiction of Japan.

"This is not fair. We will lease you a port so that you can establish yourself in Japan. You must pay more. We must get at least five distribution rights." Zong Laimao began to bargain.

After several rounds of "intense" discussions, the two parties finally reached a resolution, which mainly consisted of four aspects:
1. Xinghan League leases the south port of Yuma Island, including the port and 4 acres (99 square kilometers) of land near the port. This land includes the two "synapses" of the southern part of Yuma Island that extend southward into the sea. Going in, a huge harbor was formed.The lease term is set to 400 years, and the annual rent is [-] taels of silver.

2. Xinghan League gave Yu Zongjia the right to distribute goods in four channels, namely Sanyo Road, Sanyo Road, Hokuriku Road and Nankai Road, allowing Zongjia to enjoy the lowest purchase price among all distributors without paying a deposit.

3. The Xinghan League shall not interfere with the foreign trade of the Zongjia and production activities such as fishing by the residents of Tsushima Island.

4. The previously captured 'pirates' of Tuima Island must be treated well and allowed to go home to visit relatives regularly, with no less than one month of family leave each year.

Finally, some details were agreed upon, and the two parties drew up the agreement on the spot, which was then signed and confirmed by Liu Xinqi and Zong Laimao respectively.

"Our two families have reached an agreement and we will be partners from now on. I'll treat you all to a big meal of fish and meat tonight, and please reward me with a face." Liu Xinqi invited.

Zong Laimao probably reached an agreement based on the bottom line given by his family. He was in a good mood and agreed to Liu Xinqi's invitation.
