Text_Chapter 484 The Confused Home Light
"The grass people have seen General Shen!" More than a dozen businessmen clasped their fists and saluted in unison, these businessmen held their own status, and many of them had fame, so they did not kneel directly to see it like the small people saw the officials.
"You're welcome." Shen Yourong didn't get up, and his identity as a navy admiral made him self-conscious, so he just stretched out his hand and asked everyone to sit down.
"The general is gracious." The merchant also accosted back. After some politeness, the two sides have met, and then they start to get to the point.
"I don't know which of you is the famous thorn of you." Shen Yourong was the first to ask, this famous assassin of the Metropolitan Governor really made his heart shake inexplicably.
"It's down." Brother Sun clenched his fists and replied, "It's really abrupt in the bottom, if you are offended, please ask General Haihan." ”
"It's okay, it's just a little surprised." Shen Yourong shook his head, "I just don't know what the relationship between Mr. and the Metropolitan Governor is." He asked directly.
"This ........ is in the lower clan uncle!" Brother Sun hesitated, but still told the truth, there is nothing to hide and fake this kind of thing, and he didn't leave with one vote last night, but to do it for a long time, so the truth is very important.
This relationship of his came out together, except for Shen Yourong, who was thoughtful and had expected it, the other businessmen were all surprised and inexplicable, and couldn't help but look at Brother Sun a few more times, no wonder he was so calm and magnanimous, it turned out to be a member of the Sun family in Gaoyang.
It is a well-known thing that Sun Chengzong has the trust of His Majesty, and he has the title of emperor, and his powerful position can be called the first person in the Tianqi Dynasty, and even the actual first assistant Xu Guangqi cannot be compared.
"Looks like we're going to avoid it." Among the merchants, there were several people whose eyes flashed, and they secretly made a decision in their hearts. They all guessed that this Brother Sun's intention to come over to see this admiral was nothing more than to unite with this businessman in Japan, huddle together for warmth, and make money in the business circle, and he, as the initiator, naturally gained a dominant position.
They saw it, and the reason why they came over was that they wanted to say goodbye to this Brother Sun, the other party has a background relationship, and they also have it, so they may not weaken the other party. It's just that I didn't expect it to be like this in the end, the other party took out the name of the Metropolitan Governor, this kind of status is higher than the master behind them, but I don't know how many grades, so I have no choice but to stop fighting, bow low and be small, and follow the mixed food.
"I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" Shen Yourong asked politely, the other party is the home of his top boss, although it may not affect him anything, but in life, there is no need to make enemies everywhere, there is no bad thing to be polite, maybe you can get a good fate.
"I don't dare to be called a general, in Xia Sun Qiang, the word Ziyin, the general just calls me Ziyin." Sun Qiang's tone is also very polite, from here it can be seen that he is quite in place, very sensible, and does not look empty because of Sun Chengzong's relationship, and his eyes are above the top.
"It's fine." Shen Yourong nodded.
"General, most of you have some backgrounds, so you might as well introduce yourself." Sun Qiang said with a smile.
"It's fine." Shen Yourong was as kind as a stream, his eyes moved, and he looked at the young businessman next to Sun Qiang for the first time.
"Xiaosheng ......" The young businessman was intimidated by Shen Yourong's momentum, and stammered a little nervously, "Xiaosheng....Li Wei, a person from Beijing, his cousin is Li Tao, the general of Xiliu!" ”
"Look up for a long time!" Shen Yourong was moved, and couldn't help but hug his fists.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Li Wei was polite.
"Uncle Chen Yuting!"
"Uncle Fang Zhenru in the lower hall!"
Subsequently, one by one the businessmen introduced themselves, this said, which surprised everyone else, but I didn't expect that the people who usually look low-key and quiet have a good background, and there is a fine willow general Li Tao such as His Majesty's confidant and favorite general's family, which is really incredible.
And over there, Shen Yourong's face was inconvenient, but the weight in his heart was unconsciously aggravated, so many deep backgrounds, among which there were more of his colleagues and suitable bosses, no matter what happened, he had to solve it carefully.
"I don't know what you are doing when you visit late at night?" He asked, as usual, directly.
Seeing Shen Yourong's solemn expression, Sun Qiang secretly felt a little proud in his heart, the reason why he brought so many people here was to increase the weight on his side, so that Shen Yourong could pay attention to it, after all, he was only Sun Chengzong's own family, not Sun Chengzong himself, and he didn't know whether the other party would sell face or not.
Now it's almost over, seeing the other party's question, he smiled slightly, and said, "General, this time we are here, not for anything else, but for the goods on the port, are our goods lost in this shelling?" ”
When he arrived at the pass, Sun Qiang's rhetoric changed, from the words that he planned to compensate at the beginning, to asking if his cargo ship was still there, the reason why this was so was also because he followed the way over, and saw that the port was quite neat, except for some traces of battle, there was no other damage, he temporarily moved in his heart, so he changed his words, and tried it first.
When the other businessmen saw Sun Qiang asking like this, they thought about it in their hearts, and they knew it at the time, even if they didn't react for a while, looking at the expressions of other people, they knew that something had changed, and they didn't ask rashly. None of those who can work hard overseas and survive are simple.
"Didn't you all see it when you came in, the port is not under artillery fire, if your cargo ship is here, it will naturally be intact, you can rest assured, the order here is well maintained, and there is no phenomenon of robbery while the fire is burning." Hearing that they were here to ask this, Shen Yourong couldn't help but feel relieved.
"General Gao Yi." Sun Qiang praised. When the other merchants heard that nothing had happened, their faces were happy, and they also praised them repeatedly.
"My lord, I don't know what is convenient, we can ship the goods out, at this time Nagasaki is suffering from the war, this batch of goods will definitely be able to be sold at a high price, I hope your Excellency will make it convenient!" Sun Qiang pleaded.
When the other businessmen heard this, they immediately felt that this was the case, and they couldn't help but say in unison, "Please also ask the general's lord to make it convenient!" ”
Someone else lured and said, "The general's army has come from afar, and it will definitely be hard, and I will come tomorrow to reward the army." ”
The others also reacted and said again and again, "I'll come to the army tomorrow." ”
"This ......." In the face of so many businessmen with deep backgrounds, Shen Yourong is really a little difficult to refuse, if it is a matter of military aircraft and military discipline, he can refuse without hesitation, but only to transport goods......
He thought about it carefully, the order given by the General Staff was to bombard Nagasaki, pass on the punishment of the Ming Dynasty, and order the other party to come to pay tribute, but the rest was gone, and spending the night here was just his habit of not going empty, and tomorrow, he would loot the port and take it all away.
After all, it costs money to open artillery, and it is a little bit to be able to get back some military spending.
"In this case, tomorrow we are about to leave, and you can come and carry your goods." Shen Yourong nodded, agreeing to their request. Of course, he is also looking at the face of the other party's army, he came from afar, and there will be work tomorrow, and the soldiers should have a good meal.
"Thank you, General, thank you, General." Sun Qiang rushed to stand up for everyone, and the others saw that he had been thinking about everyone so much, so he had to come forward, only a few businessmen who guessed his thoughts secretly sneered, and wanted to make a trip, but they didn't dare.
"It's okay, it's okay, everyone is His Majesty's people, and when you go out, it's convenient for you to be convenient." Shen Yourong waved his hand.
After a few words of greeting again, the two sides took their leave. After being sent out of the port by the soldiers, he joined his subordinates, Sun Qiang looked at the dozen or so businessmen present, these are all people who do business in Japan, the strongest group of backgrounds, if they can join forces, not to mention others, backed by the Ming Dynasty, they absolutely no one dares to provoke.
"Everyone, seeing each other is fate, not to mention that we just went to the knife to beg for a bite of food, why don't we do it tonight, let's get together and discuss tomorrow's sacrifice army?" After speaking, without waiting for others to react, he turned around again and said to Li Wei, "Brother Li, speaking of which, you and I are still colleagues, and we are quite related, so we must be together tonight and get close to each other." ”
"Go together, go together." Levi hugged his fists.
The other merchants thought about it and thought that this was a good opportunity, so they laughed and said, "Let's go." ”
The group quickly walked away and returned to the gathering area of the Ming merchants, exchanging and talking with each other in the staggered fundraising.
The next day, it was bright and bright.
The soldiers who got up from the morning light quickly set off on their own under the leadership of officers at all levels, and also drove the Japanese prisoners of war in the port to start a busy carrying activity.
The goods in the dock warehouse can be taken away, and the ships moored on the dock are even simpler, just send some sailors up and start moving. Although it is a bit troublesome to sell it again after bringing it back like this, it has nothing to do with Shen Yourong, he just needs to bring things to offset the military expenses and get the bonus.
And when the soldiers were busy, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty came together, they brought a lot of labor, and when they saw the busy scene of the dock, they immediately drove their men to come over to help, and the cattle, sheep, wine, meat, etc., were directly handed over to the logistics soldiers of the fleet and directly began to cook.
Seeing the goods carried by the naval soldiers, Sun Qiang's eyes moved, and he suddenly had some ideas in his heart, he found Shen Yourong and reported, "General, it is quite difficult to see the goods carried by the general below, and it is laborious and laborious, why don't you dispose of these goods on the spot, and pay the silver taels below?" ”
"That's fine." Shen Yourong thought about it for a while, and then readily agreed, it is also to be sold when it is brought back, and it is also sold here, and it is better to bring silver.
Soon, both sides were happy, and the cooperation was quickly reached, one side pulled away the goods, the other side pulled away the local silver in Japan, and finally Shen Yourong counted that this was more than enough to offset the military expenses from a profit of 500,000 taels of silver, and everyone could get an objective amount of silver at that time.
And Sun Qiang is so happy here, he can't eat alone, he brought other people, these goods they bought at half price, when the time comes to sell them, it will directly double the profit, and the cost is just a little time, it's really a big profit!
Soon, under the joy of both sides, the army began, after a big meal and drink, Shen Yourong took back the people, set sail, and returned to Tianjin, he has been delayed here for a while, can not be delayed, and will go to participate in the inaugural ceremony of the treasure ship.
When Tokugawa Iemitsu hurried to Nagasaki, he was faced with a ruined Nagasaki, a poor port, and a group of crying foreign merchants.
Without waiting for him to get along, a group of Ming businessmen came to the door, saying that they had the will of the Holy Emperor left by the Ming General in their hands. Faced with this situation, Tokugawa Iemitsu, the newly appointed general of the Expedition, was blindfolded and did not know how to deal with it.
