Qiming 1158

Chapter 1344 Neither Holy nor Roman nor Imperial
According to the news brought back from Japan by the Ming businessmen led by the Skynet Army, Su Yonglin did know that Japan's political situation is unstable today.

Kiyomori Taira, one of the main leaders, is very powerful and has a faint tendency to overwhelm the whole of Japan. Among the 66 sub-nationalities in Japan, quite a few are directly or indirectly controlled by him.

Of course, he also has some opponents who are fighting against him. The aristocrats who control the actual power locally are not willing to submit to him and oppose him everywhere. Small-scale wars occur frequently, and his regime is not stable.

Su Yonglin also doesn't know much about this person. In his impression, only words such as "Genpei War" and "Genji Monogatari" can correspond to Japan in this era, and he doesn't know much about others.

Who is Yuan, who is Ping, what forces they represent, etc., he doesn't know all of them, but it doesn't matter, Daming is much stronger than Japan, regardless of his Ping's Genji, it is not in Su Yonglin's eyes.

It's just that the current situation in Japan makes Su Yonglin feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and he begins to calculate how Japan's rich gold and silver will help Daming's currency reform.

Then came the merchant from Europa.

Su Yonglin asked a little, and according to his description, there were some less clear Chinese appellations, and Su Yonglin basically judged that he was from the Holy Roman Empire.

When he mentioned his country, he obviously had some confidence, and he believed that the emperor of his country was also a very effective monarch. He was strong both internally and externally, and had great achievements. He also said that his country was theirs. The largest country in the block.

He knew less about Su Yonglin of the Holy Roman Empire than Japan, and he really couldn't remember those tongue-in-cheek terms.

Even the Shinra Empire itself is only aware of it because of the evaluation of "neither holy nor Roman nor an empire".

In the impression, Su Yonglin felt that Shinra should be a rather weak piece of wood, but now that she heard that Shinra is a very powerful unified state, she is very interested.

So he smiled and asked the Shinra merchant a question.

"Then your country is bigger than Daming, who is bigger?"

This Shinra businessman was able to travel far and wide, and even settled down in Quanzhou. His eyesight and speaking skills were first-class and tough, and he belonged to the human spirit.

When he saw Su Yonglin's kind smile, he knew that his previous flattery of the country had made the Ming Emperor feel more emotional.

He had heard of the reputation of the Ming emperor, and had seen his appearance, and he had also read the "Hongwu Political Theory" written by him.

He felt that there was a big gap between the Emperor Daming and what he imagined, but the only thing that didn't make any difference was the overwhelming sense of power that came to him.

The sense of strength that was almost impossible to feel when talking cordially was revealed in this special situation. There was no difference in expression, but the faint momentum brought him a huge sense of deterrence and oppression.

As a businessman, the ability to talk to people and talk to ghosts is a basic skill. If you don’t have this ability, you don’t want to do business.

But to tell the truth, he also sees the elite and toughness of the Ming army. He deeply recognizes the Ming army's strong fighting ability, and thinks that even the elite army of Shinra that he has seen is nothing more than this. .

If the two countries really have a military confrontation, then...

Who can get the final victory?
He was clueless himself.

Therefore, he half-truths praised Daming's hugeness and power, and thought that his country was somewhat inferior to Daming.

After Su Yonglin heard this, he smiled, and the sense of oppression disappeared, which made him take a breath.

As a result, the next second, Su Yonglin laughed and said that he was dishonest and told lies. He clearly didn't think so in his heart, but he still said so in front of him, which shows the treacherous nature of businessmen.

He was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground with his legs soft, thinking he was going to be dragged out and killed.

But Su Yonglin didn't blame him, just smiled to reassure him.

"People are proud of their own country, this is the right thing, I have no reason to ask you to smear your country. To be honest, it is a very happy thing for me. Your country may really be Strong."

The Shinra merchant was very grateful for this, heaved a long sigh of relief, and then thanked Su Yonglin.

So when Su Yonglin asked again, his answer was more objective.

For example, he talked about how his emperor built his career step by step and developed Shinra into a big empire. He said that he admired their emperor very much and praised their emperor's brilliant achievements.

Particular emphasis is placed on his emperor's military victories in the Italian region and his great prestige throughout Europe.

Seeing him touting his emperor so much, Su Yonglin felt that perhaps the military victory of Emperor Shinra had provided a lot of convenience for these businessmen in terms of business environment and profit.

This person should be one of the vested interests.

As a result, a very interesting little thing happened.

The Daming officials around Su Yonglin couldn't hear this guy's flattery of the emperor on his side, and wanted to stop him, but the Daming officials hadn't spoken yet. They followed the three of them to meet Su Yonglin, a Milanese businessman from the atmosphere group. Outraged at his remarks, he struck out.

"Redbeard is a devil who likes to kill! We will never forget the crime he committed against Milan! And don't forget! Just last year, the Lombard League defeated Redbeard! That's his end! The Lord will not forgive him, he will go to hell!"

He blushed at the Shinra merchants in his broken Chinese mixed with some native languages.

The Shinra merchant broke the defense on the spot.

"His Majesty and his army were just negligent for a while. He will soon bring a heroic army to clean up you despicable Italians! Don't think that you can get away with winning. The strength of the empire is not something you can understand!"

Of course, the Milanese businessman was very upset, and then the two of them used a strange language mixed with their own language to violently output each other, insulting each other the Emperor Shinra and the leader of the Lombard Alliance, and they both blushed and almost beat each other. stand up.

The Daming officials and businessmen from other countries in the room looked at their violent output, and their faces were stunned.

In the end, Su Yonglin couldn't get over it, and had someone pull them away, preventing them from hitting each other hard.

Although he didn't know the chaotic history of Europe during this period, through this episode, Su Yonglin at least learned that the current emperor of Shinra had the nickname "Red Beard".

Moreover, the relationship between Shinra and the countries in the Italian region is not very good, and the two sides seem to have a little friction.

Compared to the violent output of the two Europa merchants, the merchant from the Black Clothes—the Abbasid Dynasty was quite humble.

He first thanked Daming for his kindness in promoting him to be the head of the Fan Dynasty, and then made a solemn salute to Su Yonglin, expressing his apology for a previous incident.

Su Yonglin got to know a little bit, and learned that during the Second Ming-Song War, a black-clothed businessman received money from the children of the Southern Song Dynasty clan. Surrounded and captured by the Ming army navy, then this person and his helpers were simply and completely executed.

Later, the Ming Dynasty investigated his accomplices, but found nothing. Knowing that this was purely the personal behavior of this businessman, they did not pursue the responsibility of other black-clothed food businessmen.

According to the information currently held by the Ming Kingdom, the black-clothed food that was able to defeat the Tang Army in the Battle of Hengluosi in those days has become waning and crumbling, and those who can still come to do business really have nothing to rely on.

Because the mother country is weak, these businessmen have no confidence. They tremble when they do something, and they don't expect the mother country to say anything for themselves, so they are very humble.

Su Yonglin sighed a little about this, comforted the person, and encouraged him to continue to cooperate with the Ming government in a friendly manner and abide by the laws of fair trade, then Daming will definitely protect their legitimate rights and interests.

Don't hurt people, don't steal, don't buy or sell by force, don't charge shoddy, don't evade taxes, then Daming is their second hometown.

Su Yonglin's remarks made these businessmen very emotional and excited, and they thanked Su Yonglin with great gifts.
