The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

As soon as Pan Yun started a meeting, everyone suffered from insomnia.

Not only the heroes, but also Chang Wenxuan, Guo Dashan and others who had been following the team silently were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

They are the captain Chen Wen's men, sent to helm Pan Yun.

Because they were the only ones who knew how to read nautical charts and sail, everyone took good care of them along the way.

They are given priority in treatment when they are sick, they are taken care of when they are on the charge, and they are helped to block the knife from time to time.

There are so many of them, so casualties are not a big problem. If these three die, it will be difficult for them to return home.

Guo Dashan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He came close to Chang Wenxuan and whispered, "The treasure is here... the one on the sea..."

"Shut up!" Chang Wenxuan covered his mouth, carefully looked outside the house, and whispered, "You want to die? Who among you fellow heroes is not a sharp-eyed and sharp-eared person?"

The soldier next to him also whispered, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

But Guo Dashan was feeling very anxious, and he muttered, "Master Pan took Ah Xin and the other five away, and I don't know where they went..."

Chang Wenxuan remained silent, as he already had the answer in his mind.

The most important ability for their team of ten people is sailing. With just one order from Pan Yun, Wang Cong was asked to take A Xin and the other four away. It is easy to imagine that they were going to sail.

Nanao Port is not far from here, so most people went to Nanao Port...

The more Chang Wenxuan thought about it, the further he got from his destination. Guo Dashan was still trapped in the mystery of the treasure.

He frowned in distress and thought to himself: If this treasure is that treasure, if they want to take it, don't they have to come to Japan to live permanently?

Although it is difficult to go home on the island, it is my home after all. There are compatriots on it, and they speak Chinese. Here...

Guo Dashan doesn't want to come here.

It's okay to come here occasionally on business trips, but I can't live here permanently.

But obviously, this was not something he could decide. He was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night and felt haggard the next day.

The heroes didn't sleep either, but they were very energetic.

They vaguely understood Pan Yun's plan, and she did not forbid them from spreading the matter after they returned.

She might even be looking forward to their spin-off.

If the imperial court does not act, then someone capable will take it...

One million taels of silver are piled here every year. No matter whether they are heroes, businessmen, dignitaries or ordinary people, they will be tempted.

Not to mention the pirates on the sea.

It is said that there is gold and silver everywhere in the Ming Dynasty. Once this matter spreads, the country with gold and silver everywhere is Japan.

Rather than going ashore to rob fellow citizens, being cursed and spitted at, and possibly implicate three clans and neighbors if your identity is accidentally discovered, it would be better to be bolder and rob them from the other side.

After the heroes realized this, they looked at Pan Yun and felt that she was extremely cunning and cruel.

"Once this matter gets out, I'm afraid there will be a bloody storm in the martial arts world."

Zhang Weiyi also sighed: "Even we can't help but be moved, let alone others?"

He lowered his eyes, looked down at Zhang Weiliang who was leaning on the couch, and frowned: "Where did you get the courage to cause trouble to her in the first place?"

Zhang Weiliang came back to his senses from his daze, raised his chin and said, "I was her opponent after all."

Zhang Weiyi: "…What is this something to be proud of?"

Zhang Weiliang: "Of course."

Xue Hua: "Stop arguing, Masuda Shinta is here."

Masuda Shinta came to give Pan Yun a reply, and the Masuda family agreed to Pan Yun's request. As long as they could give them a sea-going ship that could carry more than 200 tons within 20 days, they would immediately allocate funds to build the Onsenjinmachi Port and give them half of the use rights of the port.

It is the right to use, not the right to operate.

He showed her the blueprint of the planned port. The Masuda family wanted to build a port that could accommodate two ships at a time.

It was very small compared to the ports of the Ouchi clan, but for Onsenzu Town, it was a big improvement.

Because now it can only accommodate fishing boats, sea vessels cannot get too close, otherwise they will run aground.

Pan Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and he agreed immediately, saying generously: "I can let you take a look at the goods first."

"goods?"

Two days later, they saw a ship approaching from afar in Onsenzu Town.

Looking at Wang Cong waving his hands on the boat, Masuda Shinta was speechless for a long time.

Since the ship could not dock, Wang Cong and his men lowered the small boat, jumped off the ship, and after landing on the small boat, they rowed towards the shore with great effort.

Nobuta Masuda felt that the ship looked familiar, so he took out his clairvoyance and took a closer look, and indeed, he found the logo of the Ouchi clan on the side of the ship.

Masuda Shinta: “…”

He asked carefully: "This ship...did you rob it?"

Pan Yun: "No, it was sent by Ouchi Kyohiro."

Shinta Masuda's eyes flashed slightly, and he vaguely guessed why Pan Yun retreated at that time and did not continue to attack Yamaguchi Pavilion.

Pan Yun: "In addition to the ships, there is also Nanao Port."

Masuda Shinta's eyes widened slightly: "Nanao Port?" Pan Yun nodded and chuckled: "So Masuda-kun, I do have a port of call. Nanao Port is completely mine, but in order to cooperate with you, I would rather the goods enter and leave from Onsenzu Town Port."

Masuda Shinta was very touched, but after returning home he said to his father: "Although Pan Yun has obtained Nanao Port, he cannot fully control it. I am afraid that once the goods leave the port, it is uncertain who will own them. It is better for them to go in and out from our Onsenzumachi Port."

"No wonder she clearly got Nanao Port, but she still favors our Onsen Tsu Town so much," said Old Masuda, "Sure enough, getting and owning are different."

Masuda Shinta whispered, "Father, she is from outside and has only a hundred slaves. Most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. They can't manage Nanao Port at all. What do you think? Should we cooperate with her and jointly manage Nanao Port?"

"Doesn't she have many young men with great wisdom and martial arts skills under her command?"

"I asked, and they said only a dozen or so people stayed behind, and the rest left on the ship."

Old Yitian asked quickly: "That ship..."

"The ship has left, and it will be back in two months at the latest. By then, our port will be repaired and ready for docking."

In other words, they have to transport a shipload of goods first, and then once the port is built, the goods can be brought into the port.

Old Yitian's eyes flickered slightly: "Can we send someone to follow the ship?"

"I have already mentioned this to Pan Yun, and Pan Yun agreed to check whether the ship can sail. I plan to select ten disciples from the clan to go with the ship, and bring some warriors, a total of fifty people."

Old Yitian was slightly stunned: "She agreed to all these people?"

Masuda Shinta paused and said, "Yes."

"He is truly a man of great skill and courage. I would like to meet this warrior who came from the upper country to seek revenge."

Masuda Shinta said: "She has agreed to come to visit tonight. I want to test it out tonight. If she agrees, then Nanao Port..."

Old Yitian felt a little uneasy: "This person's ability is unfathomable. I always feel a little uneasy when he plots against her."

Masuda Shinta: "She is very powerful and smart, but she is young. Most geniuses have a weakness, which is arrogance. If she agrees to cooperate with such a person once, she will do it again. Father, we can then slowly eat her away!"

Pan Yun was also telling Xue Shao, Wang Cong and others about her plan: "Cooperating with the Masuda clan is to make them work for us and erode the Ouchi clan and the Yamana clan."

She said: "Masuda Shinta is a smart man, smart and ambitious, which means he will not obey Yamana Mochitoyo.

We are outsiders in Japan, so we are naturally hostile and wary of them. We have very few people we can use, so it will take time to win people’s hearts…”

Pan Yun smiled slightly: "Since Yitian is willing to cooperate with us and needs to rely on us for certain things, there is no better partner than them."

Wang Cong scratched his head: "If there are conflicts or contradictions with them..."

"Catch the big ones and let go of the small ones," Pan Yun said, "Don't let go of the big ones, but let go of the small ones if you can, and let them deal with the Ouchi clan and the local nobles."

Xue Shao added: "Nanao Port is said to be ours, but managing the port requires manpower, and we don't have that many people at the moment. Although Ouchi Norihiro promised that the Ouchi clan would never fight for Nanao Port, in addition to him, there are also local powerful families in Nanao Port, and those ronin will not let us take over Nanao Port smoothly. Let the Masuda clan conquer Nanao Port for us, and we just need to hide behind them and grab a clue."

Wang Cong: "What line?"

Xue Shao: "Our goods entering and leaving the port do not need to be inspected."

Pan Yun: "When the imperial court sends someone to take over, or someone comes from the country, we will slowly take back the power."

Pan Yun never doubted the intelligence and abilities of Chinese people.

As long as they are willing to work hard, she doesn't think the Yitian family can defeat them.

Xue Shao thinks so too.

So they unanimously decided not to cling to port rights and to give up some interests.

Qu Le felt a little sad: "We are just giving up half of the rights of our port?"

Pan Yun was rarely friendly: "If you give up, you will gain! I have a feeling that we will have a great harvest."

Qu Le muttered: "You speak so confidently, but it's not certain whether the court is willing to send people over..."

Pan Yun glanced at him and scolded, "Shut your crow mouth!"

Qu Le stiffened his neck and said, "I'm not wrong. The civil and military officials in the court are very noble. They probably won't do such unjust things."

Pan Yun almost jumped up and down: "What injustice is this? We are fighting against Japanese pirates. Japan allowed them to invade our coastal areas, which led to the Ming Dynasty's ban on sea trade for decades. What's wrong with our dynasty sending envoys to question them?"

As soon as Qu Le opened his mouth, Zhang Weiyi quickly grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth: "Shut your mouth!"

Pan Yun stood up with a cold face: "I will go to Yitian's house as a guest tonight. Xue Shao, Wang Cong, Zhang Weiyi, Gao Zhiming, Chen Liutao and Qu Zhixing will accompany me."

After that, he turned around and left.

Several people stood up and watched.

After the people walked away, Zhang Weiyi frowned and looked at Qu Le: "Why did you bother her for no reason?"

Qu Le: "Why don't you tell me the truth? Do you dare to swear that you are not coming here for the silver mine, but for justice?"

Everyone was silent.

Xue Shao smiled and said, "It's for both profit and justice. Most things in the world can only choose one of the two, which makes people feel helpless. But Taoist Pan has combined profit and justice for everyone, which is a great thing. Why does Young Master Qu insist that people give up one of them?

Wouldn’t it be better to have the best of both worlds?”

Gao Zhiming came back to his senses instantly and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, isn't it better to have the best of both worlds?"

Wang Cong muttered: "It's really hard to endure it."

Qu Le: ...

His eyes widened, and he looked confused: Am I really just trying to endure the hardship? (End of this chapter)
