Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1064 Rewards of the princes
Japanese people have their own rules when they interact with each other, but when a person with status comes to visit Shen Wang, they always have to prepare a greeting card or something. After following the rules, Shen Wang himself is not so particular about it in Daming, and people are also precious when they are overseas. Woke up.

He didn't care who came to visit Shen Wang, it was the order of "nothing to do" said by the local housekeeper in his mansion that made him a little vigilant.

The Japanese still use Chinese characters as their formal writing, but the details are different. The character "惣" is basically unknown in Ming Dynasty.

What exactly does "惣无事" mean, it means to ensure that everything is safe and sound, and private fighting between daimyos is prohibited.

Since the country entered the so-called Warring States period, there have been daimyos and daimyos, daimyos and local tyrants, and local tyrants and local tyrants have been fighting constantly, annexing each other, and killing each other. In the era of Oda Nobunaga, there were thousands of people and hundreds of soldiers. The man who could be called the master of the party has disappeared.

The Oda family, the Takeda family, the Uesugi family, the Hojo family, the Mori family, and other million-dollar daimyo appeared one after another, and wars between tens of thousands or tens of thousands of people were not uncommon.

Until Oda Nobunaga was killed by his subordinate Mitsuhide Akechi at the Honnoji Temple, Toyotomi Hideyoshi became the most powerful daimyo in Japan. Through wars and alliances, all the daimyos expressed their surrender like him.

After so many years of chaos, Toyotomi Hideyoshi believes that everything belongs to his rule, and the war between the daimyos will do a lot of damage to his ruling authority, and will cause unnecessary losses, so Toyotomi Hideyoshi issued this order, to put it bluntly It is the "Cessation Order of Private War", "I issue an order in Guan Bai's capacity to prohibit the occurrence of such private wars."

Although it is said that only daimyo is mentioned in the decree, in fact, battles with more than 500 people are not allowed. Of course, it doesn't matter if you can hide the situation, but if you are reported, you will have to take it to the officials under Guan Bai. Come up with an explanation, otherwise the local daimyo will fight with you first, and you can't do it if you don't do it. Disobeying Lord Guan Bai's order, either cutting seppuku or becoming a monk, this is really a disaster.

Five years ago, Shen Wang didn't see Toyotomi Hideyoshi in his eyes, he was just a general, but now, he has to pay attention to it. In the past few years, Toyotomi mobilized an army to attack the Hojo family in Kanto, and there were more than 20 The army was dispatched.

Wa country is a country with tens of millions of people. The ruler who leads such a country will bow his head in vain in front of such people.

Not to mention, Shen Wang now mainly relies on the trade between the Wa Kingdom and Daming. If there is a conflict with the Wa Kingdom's daimyo because of violation of laws, it will be a big trouble.

Could it be that the operation to clean up the thieves was known by the people in Osaka? Thinking of this, Shen Wang felt a burst of irritability in his heart, thinking that he was the leader of the sea, and the daimyo of the Japanese country wanted to obtain a large number of sophisticated weapons. Well, the earth kings and white people in Nanyang had to go through him if they wanted to obtain supplies. At that time, he was the prince of the sea, but now, he is timid and scrupulous about everything.

The servants in the main hall, no matter they are Japanese or Han Chinese, all know Shen Wang's temperament well, seeing him thinking about something with a gloomy face, they dare not disturb him.

"Matsuura, go and take out the fine porcelain tea set from Jingdezhen in the warehouse. The head of the Kobayakawa family is not here now, look."

Up to now, the only way to avoid disaster is to give gifts, but the guard who came in with the post took a few steps forward, raised his voice slightly and said:
"Leader, there are guests coming to see you."

Hitting the wall everywhere, why didn't even the footman below wink, Shen Wang burst out in a rage, just about to roar, but saw the words on the post.

Such a long official position, but the last name is "Toyotomi Hidecho", Shen Wan was taken aback, and suddenly realized, who is Toyotomi Hidecho, who is the younger brother of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who is now the official of the Japanese state. Why did he come to visit him? After he realized it, he slapped the subordinate who sent the post with his backhand, and shouted angrily:

"You bastard, why didn't you say it earlier, go quickly, no, Matsuura, let the guests wait for a while, I'll go change clothes."

After walking a few steps, Shen Wang turned around again, stopped Matsuura, and said repeatedly:

"No need, no need, I'll go to greet you personally, I'll go to greet you personally."

Who is Toyotomi Hidecho, if you are not a Japanese, maybe you will know that Toyotomi Hidecho is the younger brother of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the No.

But in the eyes of people like Shen Wang who are familiar with the Japanese country, Toyotomi Hidecho, the man named Kinoshita Koichiro back then, was not just Hideyoshi's younger brother, he was also the top-ranking general under Hideyoshi, the top-ranking general, Toyotomi To Hideyoshi, Hidecho is equivalent to the prime minister.

Toyotomi Hidecho is good at financial management, good at managing internal affairs, and good at communicating with daimyo. Compared with the impatient and violent Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Hidecho has a very generous personality. Many daimyos have a good impression of him. In terms of military affairs, since Toyotomi Hideyoshi emerged under Oda Nobunaga. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was one of his brother's best supporters. Later, he took charge of his own side and won many wars against daimyo.

All the daimyos of the Wa Kingdom have such a view of Xiuchang as "the talent of the prime minister". It is not too much to say that such a character is the second person in the Wa Kingdom.

Shen Wang is very familiar with the wind and movement of the Japanese country. Toyotomi Hidecho, Shen Wang always feels that he is somewhat similar to a person. Although this idea is a bit inexplicable, that person can't tolerate sand in his eyes. Toyotomi Xiuchang is more lenient, and that person's ability to fight and make money is also more advanced.

It turned out that Toyotomi Hidecho came to Hirado, no wonder the power of the Kobayakawa family began to strictly defend, and there were [-] well-equipped banner warriors. These forces were used on Toyotomi Hidecho, even a bit shabby and cramped.

However, after the Battle of Odawara, Toyotomi Hidecho fell ill on the way back to the teacher, how could he come here, and why did such a person come here while sick.

Shen Wang prided himself on his status, but he also knew in his heart that he was a thief at sea in Daming, and his status in Japan was at most a wealthy businessman, and he was no better than Daming. He was just relying on the power in his hands. Such a valuable character, why come back to visit him.

**************
I have seen the generals, daimyo, and even Gongqing Shen Wang of the Japanese country. Although the Warring States period has been fought for hundreds of years, it is considered peaceful now. More and more people are wearing makeup and wearing wide clothes and sleeves. Yes, Shen Wang has always been dismissive of this, which is clearly the style of a prodigal son.

However, Shen Wang also learned from the old relationship in Sakai Town that Toyotomi Hideyoshi likes this kind of official dress the most in the world. In private, Shen Wang even laughed with others. You are a farmer who raises horses for others Yes, pretending to be a family member, this kind of thing is just talking about it in private.

At first I thought Hidecho Toyotomi had the same look, but I didn't expect that Hidecho Toyotomi was just wearing a Japanese robe of blue cloth, without any gold and silver thread decorations on it, it was completely dressed like a layman, and there was no hair on his face. What white powder, but looked very pale, he was helped in by two attendants.

Toyotomi Hidetomi is not tall, and the skin on his face is a little loose. It can be seen that this person was fat before, but he lost weight very quickly.

In front of this person, Shen Wu couldn't put on any airs of the king of Sanshui, instead he changed into a wealthy Japanese businessman's attire, and respectfully greeted him in the main hall.

Toyotomi Hideaga came over with an attendant who could understand Chinese, and after Shen Wan paid homage, he called Shen Wang up from the ground and said with a smile:

"Mr. Shen is not a Japanese citizen, so there is no need to show me such a big gift, just treat me as an uninvited guest!"

The politeness of a person like him makes Shen Wang a little panicked, but Shen Wang can be regarded as a person who has experienced a lot of troubles, and the two sides soon began to be courteous.

"The world is peaceful now, and everyone can enjoy peace and happiness, but I don't know how long I can watch with my brother."

"Master Xiuchang and Master Guan Bai said that they can watch it for another 50 years. It's too unlucky to say such depressing words."

"Mr. Shen is really good at talking. Speaking of which, Mr. Shen has so many big ships and so many retainers who are good at sea operations, but he has no status in Daming. He must be very unwilling?"

After a few words of politeness, Toyotomi Hideaga suddenly changed the subject, Shen Wang didn't move, just said with a dry smile:

"Abandoned people at sea, with no roots and no source, just take a boat to find a few mouthfuls of food at sea. It's not that Mr. Xiuchang is ignorant of the situation of Ming Dynasty. There is nothing unwilling, this is fate!"

Shen Wang said these words consciously and freely, but the resentment was quite obvious. After he came to Hirado, he couldn't control his mood.

Toyotomi Hideaga nodded with a smile, and said slowly:

"Daming is ten thousand times richer than Japan. Daming is peaceful, and Japan is in chaos during the Warring States Period. The difference is too much. If it was in the past, Xiuchang would not persuade Mr. Shen to leave that rich and noble town. However, Japan is also peaceful now. Mr. Shen is here You can also enjoy peace and happiness here.”

Having said that, Toyotomi Hideaga paused, and then said again:
"I don't care about my background in Japan. Heroes and heroes have their own status. If Mr. Shen is willing to enter Japan, prosperity and wealth are at your fingertips, and there is also a place to guard 50 shi."

Hearing this, Shen Wang's heart skipped a beat. The amount of 50 shi is considered a feudal lord in Wa, and it is a middle-level daimyo. The 50 shi should go to Daming. With such a status, I am not the leader of a pirate, but a person with official status. In the country of Wa, with the status of a warrior family, I can pass it down from generation to generation. I went to Daming, and I was also a distinguished guest of the foreign vassal
Shen Wang was excited, but he was not a child, and he also knew that a person with the identity of the other party came to meet and offered such a generous condition. It would not be that simple, but Shen Wang calmed down and asked:
"Yesterday, the lights were blown out, and today Master Xiuchang came to give me such a great fortune. However, I don't get paid for nothing, Master Xiuchang wants me"

****************
Xiuchang didn't stay here for long or short. After leaving, the servants in the mansion who were familiar with Shen Wang found that their master suddenly relaxed and became more emotional.

Shen Wang didn't dare to tell these things to others, but the woman who gave birth to his son had no relatives in Hirado, and even the inner house and servants were not familiar with it, so she was a suitable person to talk to.

For Shen Wang, there is no need for someone to discuss with him, he just wants to talk to someone.

"We went from Hirado to Tianjinwei, and came back from there. There are so many boats and so many people. Why are we always being chased here and there? It's not that we have no foundation. Those in Fujian and Guangdong have no boats. I have more people than me, but why the more I live, the more nourishing it is because I have a private port in my hand, and I rely on my own family to do it."

The woman was ignorant of what she heard, but she knew that as long as she listened, it would be fine, Shen Wang became more and more excited:

"It won't be long before we can have a port. At that time, the situation will not be the same as it is now. Even the Duke of Liao will be polite to us. I will take Xiaoyang and you back in a beautiful manner.
*****************
It will be the 19th year of Wanli soon, and the Songjiang mansion is filled with a festive atmosphere, and this atmosphere is stronger than ever before.

Many people in Songjiang Prefecture, whether local or foreign, made a fortune during the process of opening the port, and many people’s life improved during this process. During the twelfth lunar month in Songjiang, everything was as usual at the port, but many People would rather not do business but live this year well.

Compared with Tianjin Wei, it is much better. It has been prosperous for nearly 15 years, and everyone has gotten used to it. It is no longer a matter of getting rich and enjoying the New Year. Songjiang is different. Although Jiangnan is rich, there are many poor people after all.

For the family members of the Duke of Liao's mansion, it was a great event for Wang Tong to celebrate the New Year at home instead of going out to fight. This made the festive atmosphere in the mansion even stronger than that of Songjiang Mansion.

The female relatives were happy not to mention, but Wang Xia was even more happy. His kid couldn't explain why, but he just felt excited.

Wang Tong also had a few days of leisure. He called together skilled craftsmen and spent a lot of money to make toys for his own children. There was nothing beyond the times. Wang Tong himself had no memory, but he made them for Wang Xia. They also invited shadow puppet and puppet troupes to perform plays. Wang Tong even made up a few repertoires, which really made the children extremely happy.

Wang Lan and Wang Zhong also had toys. Wang Tong specially used good materials, drew pictures by himself, and made big dolls. Not to mention that the children liked them very much. Even the wives and concubines were rare. Got a few.

The tailor who made this saw the business opportunities in it, and would rather not pay, but also asked Wang Tong to allow them to learn to make this style, which is definitely profitable!

Soon, the first month of the 19th year of Wanli arrived——
