Chapter 466 Applying to Purchase Land
"It's no trouble. I'm just idle at home. I might as well follow you out to gain some knowledge." Zong Laimao waved his hand with a smile on his face: "I have never experienced purchasing so much land at once."

After everyone got off the boat, guards dispersed the surrounding people, and a guide took Liu Xinqi and others to Dasen City Government Office.

"I was also so shocked when I saw the Lushan for the first time. It was really amazing." Squeezing out of the crowd, Mune Laimao sighed.

"You have been on the ship these days. You should know that the Lushan only has a layer of iron armor on the outside of the hull." Ye Chuan introduced modestly.

"This is already very impressive." Zong Laimao continued to praise.

Several people chatted and moved forward. Zong Laimao had already given a detailed introduction to Shi Jianguo. Most of the contents had already been explored by the Xinghan Alliance.

Iwami country is the westernmost country among the eight countries in Shanyin.To the east are the Izumo and Bingo countries, to the southwest is the Shuo country, to the west is the Nagato country, to the south is the Anyun country, and to the north is the Sea of ​​Japan.The Chugoku Mountains at the southern tip of the country are the dividing line with the Sanyo countries, and the mountains extend all the way to the sea.

The current guardian of Ishimi Province is Ouchi Yoshihiro.The Ouchi family's dominance over Iwami Country is not strong, and there are many relatively large families in the country.The Nizi clan was the largest opposition group and had brought the western part of Ishijian under their rule very early, while the Maori clan of Anyun Kingdom in the south had always been eyeing the southern part of Ishijian Kingdom.

Dasen City is not big, and everyone quickly arrived outside the government office.

Zong Laimao went in personally to communicate. Less than half a quarter of an hour later, a middle-aged man and Zong Laimao walked out, followed by some servants.

This middle-aged man is dressed very smartly, completely different from Soraimo.He was simply wearing a samurai uniform, his hair was only about a palm long, tied back in a ponytail, his cheeks were lean and thin, his beard had been trimmed to only a little short, he was a standard Japanese samurai.

Thinking that the Ouchi clan was a samurai family, Liu Xinqi understood that this person should be Ouchi Yoshihiro.

"Welcome! Welcome! Mr. Liu's visit makes me shine." The middle-aged man was very enthusiastic.

"Brother Liu, this is Lord Protector Iwami." Zong Laimao introduced.

Neither of them called Liu Xinqi the leader of the alliance, either to avoid suspicion or something else.

"Hello, Ouchi-sama!" Liu Xinqi saluted with his hands raised.

"Mr. Liu, please come in quickly!" Ouchi Yoshihiro invited.

Liu Xinqi took Ye Chuan and Cui Wu in, while the others continued to stay outside.

Several people entered the meeting hall and after sitting down and saying a few polite words, Liu Xinqi began to bring the conversation to the main topic.

"I'm going to buy some mountain land in the southern part of Iwami country, and I hope the guards can be accommodating."

Liu Xinqi heard that Ouchi Yoshihiro did not call him the title of "alliance leader" before, and realized that there might be some clues that he didn't know about, so he made a request and changed it to a personal purchase instead of Xinghan. Enough to buy.

"How much mountain land does Mr. Liu plan to buy?" Ouchi Yoshihiro asked.

"We plan to purchase 30 acres of mountainous land in the southern part of Nahe County." Liu Xinqi replied.

(The location of the Iwami Silver Mine in later generations is in the Izumo country, and it is near the sea. This book changed the location.)
"30 acres!" Ouchi Yoshihiro was a little surprised: "This is too much."

"We have done some preliminary work before. This mountainous land is unclaimed land. There are only some mountain people in the mountain. I can promise to properly resettle these mountain people." Liu Xinqi replied: "Give them financial compensation and let them move. . Or hire them to work for me, that's fine." "I thought you just planned to buy some hillside land, or one or two hills, but now you tell me that you want to buy 30 acres of mountain land." Ouchi Yoshihiro still shook his head: " This is equivalent to half of Nahe County, it will definitely not work."

"I wonder what's causing trouble for you, sir?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"The land you want to buy is too much. If it is sold to you, it is equivalent to creating a small country, and Wa Kingdom will not agree." Ouchi Yoshihiro said.

"This is simple. Since selling it to me is a bit embarrassing, you can split the express and sell it to a hundred people. I will send someone here to prevent the guardian from being embarrassed." Liu Xinqi suggested: "If a hundred people still want to sell it, More than a thousand people can do it.”

"This..." Ouchi Yoshihiro was a little moved. After all, there would be no profit if the mountain land was left there, but he could receive money if he sold it.Although he would hand over part of it to Japan, he would definitely be able to keep most of it.

"Is there any difficulty in guarding?"

"You are Zhao people. If I sell so much land to Zhao people, wouldn't it be the same as betraying the country?" Ouchi Yoshihiro said.

As long as he dares to raise a problem, Liu Xinqi will have a solution, but he is afraid that he will not accept the problem.

"It's easy. I'll find some Japanese people to buy it. Then I'll rent it from these people myself. It's a normal leasing relationship. This won't affect the guardian."

"Well, this is a way." Ouchi Yoshihiro nodded, no longer refusing too much at the beginning: "However, I still feel that something is wrong."

When this didn't work, Liu Xinqi began to change his thinking.

"Before I came to Ishijian Country, I heard that most of Luzu County and Meinong County in Ishijian Country have been controlled by the Nizi clan. I don't know if it is true or not?"

After hearing this question, Ouchi Yoshihiro immediately showed an angry look on his face: "These rebels and traitors do not respect the king's law."

It can be regarded as acknowledging Liu Xinqi's words.

"I also heard that the Maoli clan of Anyun Kingdom has been coveting the southern part of Shijian Kingdom, and Nahe County is the first to bear the brunt." Liu Xinqi said again.

"Hey, the imperial family and local governments are weak and strong, and we, the courtiers, can only do our best to maintain it." Ouchi Yoshihiro shook his head slightly and sighed.

What this means is that both the Nishi clan and the Mori clan are rebellious ministers, but Ouchi Yoshihiro is a loyal one.

"If I purchase the mountainous land in the southern part of Naga County, it will be like a nail on the expansion route of the Nizi clan to the east and the Mori clan to the north. No matter which one of them, they want to continue to erode Iwami. If you want to own the country's land, you have to pass my test first." Liu Xinqi said in a persuasive manner: "At this point, I can assure the guardian that as long as I am there, no one from the two families will be able to take another step forward."

When Ouchi Yoshihiro heard this, his heart was obviously moved.

Wouldn't it be nice to let Liu Xinqi fight against the Nizi clan and the Maori clan, while Ouchi Yoshihiro reaps the benefits.

"How can you guarantee that you won't join forces with them?"

"Your Excellency, you can rest assured on this. We are from the State of Zhao, and we are like rootless duckweeds in the Kingdom of Japan. We can only rely on the protection of your power. Behind you is the Kingdom of Japan, and those two families are small forces. Regarding this option, , anyone with a brain knows how to choose." Liu Xinqi explained: "If you are still worried, Mr. Zong can vouch for us."
