Warring States Eagle

October [-]th, Tianwen Nine Years. []

It has been several days since returning to the territory. With the assistance of the Luo family, the Ishihara family finally resisted the invasion of the Huzi family. The Luo family also avoided direct conflict with the Huzi family too quickly, and the Luo family also gained a lot of benefits from it. It can be said that Everyone is happy.

This day, it was already evening, and Zheng Liang was looking through the territorial account books sent by Dongxiang Heiji. As a lord, he still needs to know the basics of the income and expenditure of the territory.It is worth mentioning that these account books have been sorted out by Ju Ji, and many places have used the digital calculation method taught by Zheng Liang.

Suddenly, the voice of the surname Yoshinomaru sounded outside the door: Your Highness, is there a visitor outside the mansion asking to see you?

Masara put down the book upon hearing this, and looked at Yoshinomaru suspiciously.The so-called guests generally refer to guests who come in from outside the territory.Because people in the general territory, these small surnames will directly reveal their names.However, at present, the territory implements a blockade policy that can only enter and not allow to go out.There were only three guests who could be brought directly outside the lord's mansion, one was Master Xuanzhi who resounded through Hizen with his benevolent voice, the other was Kamiya Shaoce who had business dealings with the Luo family, and the last one was Wang Hai.Who among these three people came to visit so late?

Where are the guests from?Zheng Liang asked.

Reporting back to His Highness, according to the escorting adults, the guest is a businessman from the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Xing said.

Wang Hai?It turned out to be him?Thinking about the time, it should be time for them to come from the Ming Kingdom again.

Come on, please think of this, Zheng Liang said immediately.

The two met in the council hall outside the lord's mansion.

Hahaha, Brother Wang Hai!I really didn't expect to meet again so soon, Zheng Liang said enthusiastically as soon as we met.

I haven't seen you in January, but His Highness still looks the same! Wang Hai also warmly replied.

how?How have things been since the last return flight?After Zhengliang ordered someone to bring tea, he continued.

Well, it went well.Wang Hai did not hide the fact that he had made a lot of profits, and said directly, but all the yamen of the capital had to take care of it.In the end there wasn't much left.Although they are engaged in smuggling business, it is bound to be difficult for them to move forward without a certain backer on land.What's more, there are still a large number of local rich people who have mastered business roads along the coast.

correct.When I came here this time, I also brought a gift for His Highness. Wang Hai did not continue to introduce the situation after returning to the voyage. Instead, he changed the subject and took out a long wooden box from behind.

Zheng Liang took the wooden box handed over by the other party and opened it.Immediately surprised: this is?fire system?

Zhengliang recognized Hezhong's gift at a glance, it was the fire system that equipped the Ming army in large quantities.The firearm technology from the West has just been introduced into the Ming Dynasty, and the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are still studying it. Therefore, the fire system invented and improved since the Yuan Dynasty is still the most important equipment of the Ming army.

His Highness has seen people before. Wang Hai didn't expect Zheng Liang to recognize Huo Tong in front of him at a glance, and his evaluation of Zheng Liang raised another notch in his heart.

hehe.Brother Wang Hai's such a precious gift really makes me feel ashamed to accept it, and Zheng Liang also looks at Wang Hai differently at this moment in his heart.Being able to bring Huotong, which is strictly forbidden to be sold, here, it seems that Wang Hai must have something special.

Your Highness doesn't need to care about Wang Hai said, this time I also brought two boxes of gunpowder equipped to use with this fire system.

I am ashamed to receive such a great gift.Brother Wang Hai came here this time, presumably because he has something important to discuss?Zhengliang asked.The other party came to visit in the evening, and he did not hesitate to give a lot of courtesy.There must be something important to discuss.

His Highness Wang Hai saluted.This time, I came here to ask His Highness to help me.So Wang Hai slowly revealed the purpose of this trip.

It turned out that Wang Zhi met a so-called Japanese envoy who was going to Ming for trade on the way back to Ming.After getting acquainted with him, Wang Zhi decided to take refuge in this Japanese envoy.The people who had just obtained the sweetness were willing to give up the good opportunity to make a fortune by smuggling goods from Japan just now, and some of them immediately expressed their unwillingness to follow Wang Zhi and join him in Japan.And Wang Hai is one of them.

It can be said that there are reasons for his decision.On this return voyage.They encountered pirates entrenched along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Hai was ordered to lead people to negotiate with the pirates.As a result, the negotiations failed, and instead they were taken hostage.Not only did Wang Zhi not pay the ransom to save everyone.He even gave the order to sail away.If it hadn't happened to meet another team of pirates who came to fight and snatched a small boat to escape in the chaos, Wang Hai would probably die in the sea.After this incident, Wang Hai knew that their lives were worthless in front of their interests, and he was unwilling to do so.So, when he found Wang Zhi's fleet and learned of Wang Zhi's intention to join Ri himself, he resolutely decided to go it alone.But going it alone is risky, and the biggest risk comes from pirates at sea.After thinking about it, he came up with a solution, which was Luo's family.

You mean, my family provides armed protection for your ships, and you pay a certain fee?Zheng Liang asked.

It was precisely this meaning that Wang Hai took a sip of tea, nodded and said, His Highness should know that starting from Yangzhou Mansion of the Ming Dynasty and arriving here all the way is not peaceful.

Do you think this is okay?After thinking for a while, Zheng Liang said, why don't you and I join forces to undertake this business route together? Our family can also introduce a local business to cooperate.Compared with Wang Hai's method just now, Zheng Liang wants to adopt a joint and cooperative method.There are several reasons. First, you can train the navy by escorting merchant ships, and at the same time be familiar with the route from Japan to Ming Dynasty; second, you can earn benefits through partnership management; Will be more enjoyable, in order to obtain more benefits.

This... Wang Hai didn't fully understand what Zheng Liang meant for a while.

Hehe, what I mean is that you and I jointly operate this route. You are in charge of buying and selling items, and you will provide escort here. At the same time, you will also sell some items from your family to the Ming Dynasty, and get some supplies there. Of course, these materials are all for our own family, and will not flow out of our own territory. For the sale of materials outside our territory, we will jointly bear the responsibility of your two companies; in addition, I can also introduce a local merchant to let them buy it on their behalf. Seeing the doubts of the other party, Zheng Liang introduced the local supplies and the items that helped us sell the Ming Dynasty in detail.

This... is really great. Wang Hai was so happy that he stood up all of a sudden.He was originally worried that the Luo family would dislike him as a small businessman with no foundation and was unwilling to provide help, but this time he came here because he had no choice but to bite the bullet, and now he got the other party's agreement to cooperate Of course, I am very happy about the promise.

His Highness Zhengliang, I have one more thing to discuss with you. After Daoming calmed down, Wang Hai sat down again, looked at Zhengliang and said frankly that I actually found a cooperating guest in Yangzhou Mansion of the Ming Dynasty.

oh?Zheng Liang looked up at Wang Hai upon hearing this.This guy's network is really not simple, no wonder he dared to come here alone to seek cooperation.

(Okay, there were very few recommendation votes yesterday, so I beg everyone for votes.)
