Liu Pei rubbed his chin, thought about it for a while, smiled, and said, "What Mr. Abe said makes sense. However, the first one I think you should easily agree to. After all, doing business is a matter of mutual benefit. So I'll say one more thing. That's how I need a lot of people to farm for me right now. So, you can hand over the criminals and outcasts to me, and I can pay for them. In addition, I can also recruit some peasants and samurai from within your country to serve me. Well, that's good for you, right? ”

Hearing Liu Pei say this, Abe Mid-Autumn Festival was really satisfied! The Wa Kingdom was a country with few lands and many people, and it was not visible when the daimyo were fighting each other. However, since the success of the Tokugawa family, the Wa kingdom has been stable for two generations.

As a result, as the population grows, the land problem becomes more and more serious. And with the long period of peace, the daimyo were no longer willing to raise samurai. Therefore, many samurai have no way out, and wander around all day long, causing trouble. It has added a lot of trouble to the security of the Wa Kingdom.

If the criminals, homeless people, and wandering warriors can all be handed over to Liu Pei to deal with, not only will the country be much quieter, but also get a lot of money from Liu Pei. It's also a good way to replenish the Tokugawa family's consumption.

Abe Mid-Autumn nodded and said, "Do business, we must welcome it." However, the conditions you have set are too high, and I am afraid that we will not be able to do it. ”

Liu Pei didn't want to be sloppy in front of Abe's Mid-Autumn Festival. Both sides are very smart characters. Playing tricks will only make people look down on them. So Liu Pei patted his thigh and said, "Then I made a offer, you can make a counteroffer!" ”

After speaking, Liu Pei leaned back in the chair, and the two officers next to him straightened up. Abe Chukatsu knew at a glance that these two people would be the main force in bargaining with him.

Abe Mid-Autumn also understands Liu Pei's approach. After all, Liu Pei is already a big man. Although Abe Tadaaki thinks highly of himself, he even thinks that Liu Pei is not qualified to be an equal to himself as a pirate. But at this moment, Liu Pei has the upper hand, and he can only give in.

And at this time, it is not good for the two of them to bargain directly with each other. If he bargains with Liu Pei's men, there is still room to discuss with the two bottles in the future. If you discuss directly with Liu Pei, once there is no room for turnaround, it is easy to negotiate to death.

So Abe moved his body and began to look at the two opponents. Those two officers were more eloquent figures under Liu Pei, and they were specially selected to bargain with Abe Mid-Autumn Festival.

The two of them first got up and saluted Abe Mid-Autumn Festival and then introduced their identities, and then in front of Liu Pei, the two sides began to discuss the conditions. However, both sides knew that the discussion was of little significance. Today is more about reaching a preliminary intention. Now it seems that this step has been successful, and both sides have shown that they have the intention of calling off the fighting. Then the next few days will be the real negotiations!

The two sides discussed for about an hour, and then they both stopped talking. Abe Zhongqiu said to Liu Pei: "Your Excellency the Dragon King, today is in a hurry, and I can't make up my mind about many things, so I need to return to the general." Why don't you stop here today? ”

Liu Pei didn't care, and said directly: "Then I won't be able to greet you today." ”

Liu Pei got up and sent Abe Zhongqiu out of the big tent, and then said, "Mr. Abe, you and I just don't have to pass." ”

Abe Tadaaki bowed down and said, "Your Excellency the Dragon King, I believe we will meet again tomorrow." ”

Abe returned to the castle in the middle of the year and directly reported that he had asked to see the Shogun. After the guards reported it, Abe Nakatsu was immediately received by Tokugawa Iemitsu.

By this time, it was already late at night, but Tokugawa Iemitsu was still wearing a full robe. It seems that he has been waiting for Abe's return from the Mid-Autumn Festival. When Abe saw Tokugawa Iemitsu, Abe immediately saluted and said, "I've seen the shogun." Let the adults wait! ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu said, "Abu-kun doesn't need to be polite. Thank you for your hard work this time! But what did the red-eyed dragon king say? ”

From Tokugawa Iemitsu's urgent question, Abe Tadaaki knew that Tokugawa Iemitsu was very anxious to calm down the current matter. So he pondered for a moment and said, "He did put forward a lot of conditions. And the conditions are harsh! ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu sneered and said, "Abe-kun, let's talk about it!" I'd like to hear what harsh conditions he was talking about? ”

Abe Mid-Autumn Festival listed Liu Pei's conditions one by one to the Tokugawa family. Although these conditions have been initially discussed, they still sound extremely harsh to the Tokugawa iemitsu! Rao is Tokugawa Iemitsu is mentally prepared, but his hands are still trembling with anger!

Seeing this, Abu Nakashi hurriedly recounted the news that was favorable to the Tokugawa family. Tokugawa Iemitsu calmed down and began to think about the pros and cons.

After half a ring, Tokugawa Iemitsu said slowly: "Abe-kun, what do you think of these conditions?" Do you think it's acceptable? ”

Abe Chukato said: "I think these conditions are a little harsh, but they can be discussed. But I'm afraid it's just a matter of price. I'm inclined to go on, because it's time for us to ask for something. So I hope that the Shogun must be patient! ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu took a deep breath and said, "Then tell me why." ”

Abe Chukaku told Tokugawa Iemitsu about his thoughts. It's okay to do business, just pay taxes. And Liu Pei also promised to make up for the Dutch share. Without the Dutch, the Catholics would have lost a lot of arrogance.

As for the cession of Hokkaido, Abe Mid-Autumn felt that it was no problem. Anyway, it is a barren land, and it does not belong to the jurisdiction of the Japanese state. As long as you have the ability to eat it, you can take it. And as long as they settle in Hokkaido, they will naturally have a chance to deal with them in the future.

However, Abe Mid-Autumn did not expect that Liu Pei only used Hokkaido as a base, and one of its functions was to deal with the Japanese state.

As for the indemnity of 5 million taels of silver and the production of Iwami Ginshan, we will talk slowly. Now Abe's Mid-Autumn Festival is most concerned about Liu Bei's promise. With this time, the Tokugawa family could fully cultivate and once again assemble a large army to suppress the Gyeonggi region.

Finally, Abe Tadaaki said, "Lord Shogun, and there are still two things that this pirate can use. ”

Only then did Tokugawa Iemitsu perk up and motioned for Abe Tadaaki to continue. Abe Nakashi said, "Lord Shogun, the red-eyed dragon king promised us to maintain the power of the Tokugawa family on the sea, and I believe that he will be able to do this in order to get the money. However, we can't rely on him alone to maintain the prestige of the Tokugawa family, we should weaken the daimyo who have a large number of sailors at the same time! ”
