Win the Ding 1617

() Today's chapter is here, everyone please continue to support!

Looking at the four Japanese in front of him, Shou Han secretly laughed.

Representatives from the three daimyos with different interests were brought together by Shouhan. When the representatives of the Goto family, the Zong family, and the Tosa family found each other, the excitement was hard to describe in words.

Goto Shengqing and Guibo Xuanfang began to scold each other, accusing each other of breaking the agreement between allies. Goto family Shengqing talked about playing tricks, how is he a famous diplomatic liar who once deceived the Ming court and Toyotomi Hideyoshi shogunate Jing Zhexuansu's younger brother Guibo Xuanfang's opponent?After a few words were suppressed by Xuan Fang, he was rendered speechless, and Sheng Qing, who became angry from embarrassment, simply escalated the debate into a fight.

However, when the two found out that the Yamauchi family of the Tosa clan had even sent out a combination of Ganhe San and Fukao Shigemasa, an old man and a young man, they quickly put aside their previous suspicions and worked together to try to figure out the Tosa family's intentions.

After testing each other for the bottom line, everyone fell to the ground like a stone. It turned out that they were all the same unruly, with the same purpose!

It's all for trade!

It's just that the Tosa clan's Yamauchi family is somewhat different from the Zong family and the Goto family. The two also hope that they can obtain exclusive trading rights in Japan, in other words, they want to eat alone.

How can this work?Man said that the Yamauchi family did not agree, and the Zong family and the Goto family did not want to see each other eating alone.Even Kazuo Koga, who made a mistake in buying and selling people, and the business of the marriage agency is in full swing, would not agree!

"The servants of the Japanese kingdom Ganhesan (Guibo Xuanfang, Wudao Shengqing, Fukao Shigesho) pay their respects to the Great General of the Celestial Dynasty! May the might of the General spread far and wide!"

Hearing the Chengqi officer at the door shouting praises, "The general is here!" Several guys jumped up one after another, and knelt down on the ground at the fastest speed. I'm afraid I can't find anything wrong with it.

According to the previously negotiated order, the four were sorted according to their respective ages, and Gan Hesan of 4500 Shi Zhixing was well-deservedly ranked first in terms of age and position.

However, once the negotiations started, Gan Hesan found sadly that at his age, he seemed to be far less convincing than the real money in the hands of the Zong family and the Wudao family.

At the beginning of their arrival in the port, Gan Hesan and Kamio Shigesho sadly discovered the weakness of their own economic strength when they were negotiating with Li Peilin, Han Yuan Company and other bigwigs.

"Although my Wudao family (Zong family) is a small country, there are a lot of gold, silver, copper and lead in the country. I am willing to exchange these things for the products from the country of adults!"

"As long as the adults are willing to export, our country is willing to buy. I just hope that the things sold to the Shimadzu family can also be sold to our country!"

"Our country promises that the amount of each trade will not be less than 10 taels of silver. If you need anything from us, or something produced in North Korea, our country is willing to buy it for you!"

listen!listen!In front of two little daimyo whose combined stone height is less than [-] shi, Qian Hesan felt his own weakness for the first time.Compared with the Wudao family and Zong family who have been doing business for many years and sharing the spoils with maritime merchants, the finances of the Yamauchi family are really bad.So much so that the Tosa clan couldn't think of any decent materials that they could exchange.

"Mr. Qianhesan, what are you thinking?"

Shou Han saw that his beard and hair were all white, and he had a bald head and an embarrassing look on his face. Combining with what Li Peilin and others reported to him about the negotiations with the three families, he could probably guess what the representative of the Tosa clan's Yamauchi family was worried about. What is it? !

Without him!I want to trade, but I don't have any cards to play in my hand!

It doesn't matter, I can tell you!

"The foreign minister dare not hide the general! It's just because our country is located in a remote place, the land is barren, and the land is narrow and densely populated. For a while, I can't think of anything that can fall into the eyes of my lord, so I feel anxious!"

Ganhe San also thought about it, the situation of his own family cannot be hidden from the Wudao family and the main family, these two low-level daimyos are so closely related to so many maritime merchants and townspeople, the details of my Yamauchi family are naturally hidden But they, rather than waiting for them to dismantle it aside, I might as well say it myself, and save some face for myself!

"Our country is short of gold and silver, only some copper, dry goods, ware, folding fans, screens, painted paintings, lacquerware, Japanese swords, and sake. We originally planned to trade these goods with the general. However, we found out when we arrived at the main city of the general. I am a frog in the bottom of the well! Dry goods, the Goto family and the main family also have them, and the place where the adults are located is the seashore, so they can’t be sold at any price. The Japanese swords made by our craftsmen are not as good as the rare swords and sake equipped by the adults. , it is not as good as the sugar cane wine and rice wine sold in the market, if I want to come back this time, the old man will apologize in front of the owner!"

Got it!Don't play harakiri at every turn!Isn't it just a lack of hard currency!I tell you what I want!

"That's it! Mister Qianhesan, how about this, let me choose a few of what you have and what I want, how about we use it for trading?"

Hearing this, Shigemasao Fukao's eyes lit up!It turns out that the Tosa clan still has something that can be admired by the generals of the Celestial Dynasty?This is so good to listen to!

Wudao Shengqing and Guibo Xuanfang on the side were also stunned and listened carefully, for fear of missing a word.

"Mr. Gan, I want copper, dry goods, bluegrass, and wood produced by your Tosa clan. These things can be bartered with me in Nanzhong besides gold and silver."

"As for your two families," Shou Han turned his gaze and glanced at Wudao Shengqing and Guibo Xuanfang, "the purple roots, madder, sulfur, wood, lead, zinc, and inkstones in your place can all be used together with gold and silver. Trade with our south-central region."

Hearing this, Gan Hesan's heart, which was ready to go back and cut seppuku, suddenly became elated. Copper and dry goods are fine, not to mention wood, so how can bluegrass be a blessing for how to practice?Can be seen by the general?Can it be used to start trade with Nanzhong?

After thinking about it, Gan Hesan got up and left his seat and knelt down on the ground, "The foreign minister asks the general to take back his order, the foreign minister dare not lie to the general!"

"The general is a man of great magnanimity. I think he mistook Feng Jing for Maliang. The bluegrass grown in my place is a thing that can be found all over the mountains and plains. It is not the bluegrass that the general wanted. The bluegrass is pure and pure. It is a thing raised by literati and refined scholars, and one piece is worth thousands of gold. Where did my small country come from such a blessing, so I implore the general to take it back!"

Shou Han couldn't help laughing a little, the old devil was honest, he was afraid that he would take the bluegrass produced in the Shikoku and Kyushu area as an ornamental bluegrass, so he hurriedly explained. (I bah! What honesty! He is afraid of strength! He is afraid that if the Nanzhong Army turns against him, he will not be able to bear the blame. Devil! It has always been like this!)

"Bring a pen!"

Someone at the side took a pen and ink, and Shou Han wrote a big "blue" character on the paper, "This is what I want!"

Bluegrass is not an ornamental plant, but a commercial crop.In my country, bluegrass is mainly distributed in Sichuan, Hebei, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian. The output in the 17th century was not high.The leaves of bluegrass can be mashed to make dyes, and the root of bluegrass is the famous isatis root.

What is Banlangen used for, everyone knows? !In the 17th century, the flu was also deadly.Not to mention the seventeenth century, even today, influenza in the Western world can still cause panic in the entire society.Moreover, the mashed stems and leaves of bluegrass are still good hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs.

"But, apart from smashing it to make dye, that thing seems to have no other use!"

"I just want to use it as a dye! Also, you must bring the roots, otherwise, the original ship will be shipped back! Disqualification for trading!"

Shou Han waved his hand impatiently, Fukao Shigemasa was very sensible and helped Kanhe San up and sat back in his original position.

"In addition, the burdock and konjac produced by you can also be exchanged for rice, swords, guns and armor!"

God bless you!Can this burdock, bluegrass, and konjac be used as real gold and silver?How could it be exchanged for the weapons, armor and white rice that made the warriors salivate?

"Our Tonghe dyeing workshop needs all kinds of dyes."

In order for the seller to have a reasonable explanation, Shou Han said something in confidence.

That's logical!

Fukao Shigemasa let go of a stone in his heart!It turned out that it was only used to make dyes!I thought the lords of the Celestial Dynasty had other uses!If you know there are other uses, it seems that you can raise the price and mention the conditions!

The two were overjoyed. They hid aside and quietly calculated how many times a year they could come to trade, how much goods they could bring in each time, and how much rice, cloth, knives, armor, canned food, sugar, etc., were transported away. Both like something.

The equipment of the Shimadzu family's banner samurai and mother clothes is even more luxurious and sophisticated than the equipment of the ten people in Osaka!They were all equipped with swords, guns and armor exchanged from Nanzhong!

"The Wudao family is willing to serve the General!"

"The Zong family is willing to do their best for the general!"

Seeing that the Tosa Clan, who was not optimistic about him, was the first to complete the trade negotiation with the Nanzhong Army, the Goto family and the Zong family who were full of self-confidence immediately became jealous.Originally!We have more gold and silver than you, and although our products are not as rich as yours, we can organize much more goods than you!

The comprehensive trade and open-door negotiations with the Wa country officially started.

Both Wudao and Zongjia are well-known guys who are good at trading. Wouldn't it be a waste of resources to just trade with them?Here at Shouhan, all he wants to do is to find a market for his products and obtain more raw materials and resources at the same time.

"My idea and request are very simple. Use your contacts to talk to the merchants in Osaka, buy everything I need for me, and I will provide you with everything I can sell to you!"

These words were not only addressed to the Goto and Zong family, but also to the Yamauchi family.

In view of the various and intricate relationships among relatives, in-laws, branches, clans, etc. in Japan, Shou Han felt that it would be better to find a few agents.

"The three of you, as well as the Shimadzu family from before, are the agents of my Nanzhong goods in Kyushu. Of course, if you have the ability to sell the goods to Shikoku and Honshu, it doesn't matter. However, the four cannot hedge , Vicious competition with each other."

"The goods and personnel of Nanzhong shall not be taxed or subjected to difficulties in the areas where the door is open. Similarly, the goods transported to various daimyos must be protected by the goods and personnel passing through the areas of each daimyo."

"For the specific terms, you go to talk with the gentlemen of the Lifang, Hufang, and Hanyuan Firms. After the negotiation is completed, stamp the seals of the respective owners, and our good times will begin!"

Shou Han's demeanor is a bit like a big bad wolf who tempts an ignorant girl to eat a red apple.

The four of them thought for a while, and such a clause seemed to be beneficial and harmless to them.Purchasing goods for Nanzhong, obtaining agency rights, and obtaining exclusive sales rights in the area you expand, then, isn't it the same as the cooperation with maritime merchants, taking the opportunity to share the spoils? !

There are such good things, why not do it?

The young and old of the Tosa Clan are also full of confidence!

You two claim to have a good relationship with businessmen in Osaka, but I, the Tosa Domain, are related to many daimyos!

The negotiation entered into a climax in a joyous and peaceful atmosphere.

The two parties have signed trade agreements one by one in the spirit of cordiality, friendship, mutual benefit and cooperation.

Sulfur, copper, lead, wood, bluegrass, gold and silver, dry goods, a lot of materials entered Shouhan's warehouse from the Fusang Islands.

Rice, dyed cloth, Juehu knife, Sangmen gun, armor, and gunpowder were shipped to the Kyushu area one by one.

A large amount of fur, Korean copper, and ginseng were also transported to Ha Tinh as trade goods with the cooperation of the Goto family and the Zong family.

Fukao Shigemasao also proposed another trade proposal to Shou Han at a celebratory dinner.

"General, the foreign minister has an unfeeling request and wants to report something to the general."

After saluting and toasting Shou Han, Fukao Shigemasa, whose face was flushed by the alcohol, whispered in front of Shou Han, and glanced at Goto Shengqing and Guibo Xuanfang for a while, and at this moment, Qianhe Three raised their wine glasses to toast the two.

"Come, come, I borrow flowers to offer Buddha, I wish you two good fortune!"

Shou Han knew in his heart that it was the Tosa Domain who wanted to seek some benefits for himself, or simply that the two envoys wanted to give him a ride to do some business.It doesn't matter, as long as you have what I want!

"grown ups!"

In the secret room, the two envoys of the Tosa Clan saluted the guard in fear and respect, then got up and sat on the chair.

"My lord's grace allowed my Yamauchi family to start trading with Nanzhong in order to relieve the poverty of the people. However, my Tosa domain is narrow and densely populated. Recently, the two of us met people from the Shimadzu family on the streets of Nanzhong. That’s how the idea came about.”

"I, the Tosa Clan, can follow the example of the Shimadzu family in providing brides to Nanzhong, and can also provide the common people to the general as, as..."

Qianhe Sany couldn't think of how to describe the vocabulary for exporting labor.Chongchang, on the other hand, is a young man with a quick mind.

"My Tosa clan is willing to provide at least [-] long-term workers to the general every year. Let the common people find a way to make a living."

That night, Li Shouhan reached a labor export agreement with two representatives of the Tosa clan's Yamauchi family. The Tosa clan will provide Li Shouhan with at least 45 young and middle-aged laborers every year. allow.In order to reflect the kindness of the heavenly state, Shouhan provided Tosa Fan with [-] shi of rice every year as a fund for organizing this labor export activity.At this time, the price of japonica rice on the streets of Ha Tinh was [-] Wen per stone.

These laborers were paid one tael of silver per month in Jiulongjiang, in Guang'an, in Haining, and in Fulang Mountain.Engaged in heavy physical labor such as land reclamation, mining, horse raising, and rubber tapping.

"Every paddy field in the Jiulong River, under every rubber tree, lies the skeleton of a hibiscus laborer!"

This is the righteous roar of the public minds hundreds of years later.

For this reason, the descendants of many old and important ministers of the Tosa clan who were in charge of labor export at that time scoffed at this.

"Cruel exploitation? Inhuman squeeze? Every exported laborer signs a three-year labor contract, and the monthly salary is not less than one tael of silver. The laborer is given three meals a day, with fish and meat every day. Three meals of white rice are enough! Such a food standard, in Japan at that time, even daimyo, generals, and emperors did not dare to think about it, and there was still a day off every ten days, and there were two sets of labor uniforms in each season release."

"That's right! After the three-year period expires, those who perform well can be extended, and those who have served for more than five years can be considered for naturalization. And there are overtime pay and welfare bonuses at the end of the year and during holidays. If you give up rest, you can get every rest ri No less than five buckets of overtime pay for overtime. All kinds of materials brought into Japan from the Nanzhong area every year, the goods greatly eased the tight supply of Japan at that time." (Pay attention to the rice price mentioned above.)

However, with the implementation of immigration and naturalization policies, such scenes can often be seen in various places in South China.

"Baga! Which one is the same as you?!"

"The four daughters you get! What is the blood of Fusang?!! I will show you my Huaxia household post!"

"This Dongying dwarf obviously just came from his hometown, so ignore him!"

"Exactly! Hurry up and get out! If you don't get out, I will give you three pennies!"

Four short figures left a Fusang migrant worker who was crying in the corner, and walked away with clogs on their feet.

After arduous and meticulous negotiations, the four envoys of the Tosa clan, the Zong family, and the Goto family left Ha Tinh Mansion with a deep friendship between the army and the people of Nanzhong.

Mr. Gan Hesan looked at all kinds of goods piled up in the cabin with satisfaction: the bottom cabin was full of rice, knives, armor, canned food, his cabin, the cabin of Fukao Shigemasa, the cabin of the entourage, and the cabin of the sailors. The cabin is so piled up that you can hardly turn your body: cotton cloth, silk, glassware.

"Hold the anchor! We are going back to announce the good news to the lord!"

The Tosa Clan's ships had just weighed anchor, hoisted their sails and left the berth. Before they left the harbor of Hongji Port, they saw chaos from the city to the commercial port. Countless soldiers galloped quickly with guns, and a burst of white rose from the fort of Yuehai Tower. The smoke was immediately torn apart by the strong sea wind, but the loud sound of the guns followed and reached people's ears.

"Nani?!" The old and mature Gan Hesan was keenly aware that something important must have happened, otherwise, he would not have made such a big move.

Before he could react, a blaster had already crossed the route of the Tosa clan's fleet. "Stop the ship! Accept inspection!"

Several menacing sailors jumped onto the Tosa domain's boat before the cables on both sides were thrown, and pointed the firecrackers in their hands directly at the sailors, "Sail down! Anchor!"

"Probably inspecting smuggling. The Nanzhong Army attaches great importance to tax matters here." Fukao Shigemasao whispered his analysis of this matter to Ganhe San.

"Really?" Gan He San Xuebai's eyebrows twitched, and the old and cunning instinctively thought that this was definitely not an action to check for smuggling.

The sailors didn't even look at the various tax documents handed over by the captain. They just took the customs clearance documents and checked everyone one by one. According to the documents, they are Fusang people.

Soon, the Tosa clan's fleet proved its innocence, neither smuggling, the goods on board were paid export duties in real money, or there were documents proving that they were gifts from the general's mansion, and they did not harbor cunning only.

Seeing the sails go away, the sailors of the South China Army who were strictly checking the ships leaving the port on the route, Gan Hesan had a big question mark in his mind, "What happened to the South China Army today? Will this incident have any impact on the situation?" Are we adversely affected?"
