The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 205 Brother Zheng Can Be Reasonable
At the wedding banquet, Zheng Zhilong quietly looked into the distance, and Matsuburo Takanobu, who was surrounded by stars, was accompanying Ding Yi, introducing the noble officials and wealthy businessmen in Hirado, Japan and other places one by one.

He was a little uncomfortable.

Even though he, Zheng Zhihu, Shi Yong and others are the only foreigners among the distinguished guests who came today, it is considered a supreme honor.

But he never expected that Ding Yi, who was still unknown when he came here, had already opened up the situation in Japan in just a few days.

When he went to Lushun and saw Ding Yi's elite soldiers, his only thought was to take this little brother to play at sea.

Unexpectedly, after Ding Yi came, he soared into the sky.

When he was in Hirado back then, he was not treated as well as he is today.

It would be a lie to say that you are not jealous.

But Zheng Zhilong was still happy for Ding Yi.

After all, they are all brothers.

Suddenly, an ear-piercing voice came from my ear: "I said earlier, this person has great ambitions."

"The golden scales are the things in the pool, they will turn into dragons when they meet the wind and clouds."

"An official, with the support of the Songpu family, Ding Yi will be our great enemy at sea in the future."

Although Zheng Zhilong is strong, the power of the Hirado clan cannot be underestimated.

Zheng Zhilong glanced at him indifferently: "Shi Yong, you are drunk."

At this moment, in his heart, he still didn't think so.

No matter how strong the Hirado clan is, no matter how powerful Ding Yi is, they are all on land.

There are really more boats and more sailors than Songpu and Ding Yi, and if they are multiplied several times, they are not as good as Zheng Zhilong.

As long as Zheng Zhilong is willing, he can send a fleet to block the port of Hirado Domain at any time. This is the strength of his overlord of the world.

Shi Yong saw that the persuasion was ineffective, so he didn't say much. Anyway, it will take a long time. One day, Ding Yi will show his tail.

On the [-]th, Zheng Zhilong left. He didn't come here this time mainly for business. When he returned, there were many empty boats, so he said to Ding Yi, "To congratulate Brother Ding on his wedding, you will choose one of my six boats to send you off."

Ding Yi was amazed.

Shi Yong stared and almost cried out.

Ding Yi did not hesitate and chose the smallest warship with [-] materials.

Zheng Zhilong laughed loudly, patted Ding Yi on the shoulder, left the warship and the cannons on it, and walked away. His heroic demeanor made everyone around Ding Yi admire him.

Xi Laojing and Ding Yi stood by the pier to watch him leave, and suddenly whispered: "General Ding, if you want to develop the navy, this person will definitely be your enemy in the future."

Ding Yi thought for a while, and said seriously: "Brother Zheng is different from the Houjin Tatars, he is a man who can reason."

"For those savage and ferocious Jurchens, we must use cannons and cavalry to teach them a lesson."

"Brother Zheng, you can reason with him."

When he finished speaking, he looked up and saw Tian Chuan Yuhuang not far away looking at him with a weird smile on his face.

Ding Yi subconsciously nodded to him and smiled.

On the 12th, Ding Yi returned to China and returned with a full load.

When he came, he brought fifteen boats, Zheng Zhilong gave him one, and his father-in-law, Songpu Longxin, gave him a five-hundred-dollar boat, which was full of dowry, including 10 taels of silver and various gifts.

In this way, Ding Yi had seventeen ships to go back.

His ship was loaded with a large amount of copper ore, iron materials, nitrate, sulfur, flint, Japanese swords, handicrafts, and another 50 taels of silver.

Twelve of the seventeen ships were full.

More than fashion.

When the boat drove away, the delicate and beautiful Matsugaseka stood at the pier with her father, standing against the wind, her expectant and longing eyes made Ding Yi's legs go weak.

That's right, he has worked really hard these days.

Matsubura Takanobu wanted to hug his grandson very much, and Seka pestered him every day.

Ding Yi now knows what it means to have exhausted cows and no plowed fields.

He suspected that if he stayed for half a month, he might die in Japan.

When he came, he was high-spirited, but when he left, he fled in embarrassment, almost creating a psychological shadow.

Of course, he knew that Song Burunshin wanted to use his grandson to control him.

After so much hard work, there should be seeds, right?Ding Yi stood at the bow of the boat, desperately waving to Matsugaseka.

When Ding Yi was completely out of sight, Matsugaseka threw herself into her father's arms and cried bitterly.

"Seka, Ding Yi is an ambitious person. If you believe in your father, he will definitely come back." Matsuburo Takanobu gently patted his daughter on the shoulder, comforting her.
-
Shen Shikui looked sourly at Japan getting farther and farther away. He was also an old man, but Matsubu Longxin was much more generous than him.

Originally, he was still thinking, when can Ding Yi repay the 10 taels of silver he borrowed last time?
But Song Buron sent 10 taels directly, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Damn it, Shen Shikui thought to himself, did Ding Yi deliberately agree with Songpu?The dowry is exactly 10 taels?

Then he thought about Ding Yi. During this trip, Ding Yi got so many copper mines, nitrate and other materials, which seemed to be all for military use.

You said that it is impossible for him to make copper coins.

Because this copper system is difficult and time-consuming.

The key is that it takes longer to use it up.

In Ding Yi’s two ships of copper mines, the copper coins that can be made are worth 10,000+ silver, all of which are copper coins. When will they be spent?
Your Lushun ship will go out in the future and bring a ship of copper coins to pay bills and purchase goods, and no one else will accept it.

You can only spend slowly at ordinary times.

So he couldn't figure out why Ding Yi wanted so many copper mines.

Perhaps, it is possible to resell it to other merchants in Daming.

He was thinking about something, Ding Yi walked slowly to his side.

"Uncle Shen."

"General Ding."

The two looked at each other and smiled, they were both their own people, so there was no need to be so polite.

Ding Yi thought for a while, and said in a slow tone, "After I go back this time, I want to formally marry Wen Yan and Chu Ying."

"Wen Yan is his wife, and Chu Ying is his concubine."

As for Qin Nan, Ding Yi has no plans to marry her yet, but he must give her a guarantee to stabilize her heart.

Shen Shikui was overjoyed when he heard Ding Yi's words, and hurriedly said: "Very good, Chu Ying has been waiting for a long time."

Before he could speak, Ding Yi said again: "The 10 taels I lent you last time—"

"Let's just use it as a dowry." Shen Shikui reluctantly said with blood dripping from his heart.

Of course he knew that it was impossible for Ding Yi to return it. If the meat bun was thrown out, could it be taken back?
The key point is that he also tore up the IOU, and Ding Yi must have known it from Chu Ying.

"Is this bad?" Ding Yi looked embarrassed.

You pretend, Shen Shikui is helpless, and said earnestly: "Ding Yi, we will be a family from now on, and a family does not talk about two things. As long as you treat Chuying well, this old man will definitely support you with all your strength."

"Father-in-law, please rest assured, I will cherish Chuying well."

"..." Shen Shikui was overwhelmed by his thick skin and could only smile wryly.

Then the two talked about the profit distribution this time.

When the two came to Japan this time, Ding Yi spent about 25 silver, all of his net worth.

Shen Shikui paid [-], Xu Fu played [-],
All add up to 36 goods.

After Ding Yi sold out, Song Buronshin's 10 taels were not counted, and he got 40 taels of silver, a large amount of goods.

Naturally, all the goods belonged to Ding Yi, Shen Shikui got 15 yuan, and Xu Fu played [-] yuan.

In this way, Ding Yi still has 33 taels of silver and a large amount of goods.

Ding Yi also promised Shen Shikui to give him [-] Japanese swords.

This knife can be sold for 12-14 taels in Daming.Equivalent to 10 taels.

Of course, it will take time for seven thousand to sell.

Ding Yi himself still has [-], which are even more difficult to sell.

Shen Shikui actually wanted copper mines, but Ding Yi was only willing to give Japanese knives, so he had no choice but to agree.

In this way, he came to Japan for less than a month, which is equivalent to earning 10,000+ taels of silver, which is a considerable profit.
