Mei Sanshiro is just a questioner, and he doesn't understand things that are too profound.

But he didn't understand, but there were people up there.

The person who really presided over this questioning was named Fukami Youlin, and his sinology skills were very deep, and he was recently translating the "Ming Huidian" for his pronunciation.

Earlier, in order to obtain more information, the shogunate directly asked the so-called "Toyo Lecturer" Ogi Soshichiro to personally draw up many contents to be asked, and forwarded them to Fukami Youlin, so that he could ask some shipowners who were familiar with the rules and regulations when he met them, so as to obtain some deeper content.

This Ogibu Soshichiro is not small, and his elder brother is even more famous, Ogibu is a master of Confucianism.

When Dashun was opposing Cheng Zhu Lixue, Ogi Sheng was also using a similar way to oppose Cheng Zhu Lixue, advocating retro and calling the Culai school, which had a great influence, about like exegesis, but not all.

Ogibu Soshichiro is now busy translating "Da Ming Law", doing training points, for Chinese affairs, he wants to ask a lot of things, and some Confucian students who crossed to the east during the war are very clear about the Ming Dynasty, Ogi Soshichiro wants to know the differences between Da Shun and Da Ming in the system.

Therefore, as early as four or five years ago, Ogibu Soshichiro drew up 80 questions and sent them to Nagasaki to be handed over to Fukami Youlin, who was translating the "Daming Huidian". He was a lecturer in the Eastern Capital, and he couldn't leave, so he hoped that Shen Jian You's neighbors would be able to choose some suitable people to ask these eighty questions clearly.

However, under the thinking of Shinong Industry and Commerce, few people who run boats really understand too much.

This time, I heard that a maritime merchant had brought a war horse, and I saw that some neighbors knew that such a maritime merchant must be capable, and he must have a deep friendship with the government.

The Nagasaki commissioner, Hosoi Yasuaki, also knew that this person must be not small, and after a little discussion, he asked Fukami Youlin, a master of sinology, to inquire about the situation first, and then Hosoi Yasuaki personally received him.

Shen Jian Youlin's sinology skills are good, but he speaks Chinese very generally, and if there is any problem, he still needs this Mei Shishilang to be the intermediary to pass the problem.

After hearing Liu Yu say that he not only brought war horses, but also brought warriors who were proficient in riding and archery, he was even more convinced that this was an excellent opportunity to find out the news of Dashun.

In any case, a person who can bring war horses and warriors to Nagasaki is by no means a good type, and must have a huge background.

Only with background can we have insight.

But this needs to be asked slowly, and when he saw that a neighbor knew what these businessmen cared about most when they came here, he asked Mei Shiro to pass on the word and translate.

"The war horses you brought, if they are not castrated after inspection, can be exchanged for trade tokens. As for the samurai you said who were proficient in mounted archery, this needs to be verified. What is your name? Where is home? Is this ship your ship? Where did you start and how long did it take you to get to Nagasaki? ”

After a series of questions, Liu Yu only said that his surname was Liu, and said that he was just "doing things for the real bigwigs, and when he heard that Japanese trade could make money, he transported war horses and samurai." If the deal goes well this time, what the Japanese want in the future can be interviewed."

The words directly calmed down the neighbors, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Liu Yu also pretended to be profound, didn't say so much, and still had a bit of arrogance in his bearing, obviously looking like he was not used to being asked by others.

He is not afraid at all anyway, if he really shows his stuffing, he is an official of the imperial court, and the Japanese will send him out of the country as a gift at most, and they will not dare to do it to themselves.

Besides, those who can think of revealing stuffing are just being thieves.

Seeing that the Japanese were going to continue to ask, Liu Yu said directly: "If you want to eat eggs, why do you have to ask where this old hen laid her eggs?" I don't like you to ask too much, you have to ask too much, then this trade can be done or not. ”

This attitude is to see that the neighbors dare not ask deeply, after asking those maritime merchants before, the attitude of the maritime merchants is grateful, the so-called "sailing today, unexpectedly Cheng Qin use, and be rewarded with white skull, repeatedly feel the grace, the family glory, nothing more than so ......"

The trade token is stuck here, but whoever comes wants to trade, and if you want to trade, you have to lower your profile.

Not only can the posture be lowered, but even some words that are avoided in Dashun can be used here, and the one that is licked is called a no product.

Liu Yu wanted to lick out a few trade tokens, but he didn't want to lick them with such a low attitude, so he had to lick out his own style.

Such a high posture of "trade can be done, and it is okay not to do" really makes Shenjian a little unbearable for his neighbors, and he doesn't know what to ask and what not to ask.

After asking some questions sporadically, he let Liu Yu rest here first.

I'll just ask you tomorrow.

As a result, when I saw that my neighbor came again the next day, my attitude was very different from yesterday, and I directly came with an eviction order.

"Since the promulgation of the "New Regulations on the Mutual Market of Sea Lots" in the fifth year of Zhengde, those who do not have tokens are not allowed to trade. Wait, please come back. ”

Liu Yu thought about it for a while, and felt that the only one who knew that he wanted to use Shi Shiyong as a spy was the emperor.

Other than that, the rest is meaningless: can't you fill your pockets in the smuggling of officials? Could it be that the Japanese side still cares about the integrity of this Dashun? Why, can't the corrupt officials of Dashun come to Japan to do business?

That being the case, Liu Yu thought to himself: How old are you, still playing this kind of child's trick.

I also thought that if I really realized that something was wrong, it would be useless to kneel on the ground and kowtow to each other.

Get up and say goodbye, don't have the slightest nostalgia, and leave happily.

However, as soon as the front foot stepped out of the door, the interpreter behind said: "The right person is playing." In fact, the lord wanted to meet the gentleman in person, so he asked the gentleman to get up and move elsewhere. ”

…………

Nagasaki Governor Hosoi Yasuaki looked at Liu Yu carefully, and couldn't see what the other party was.

The Chinese maritime merchants who come and go here are all familiar faces, most of them from Ningbo and Fujian.

A trade token can provoke Ningbo maritime merchants and Fujian maritime merchants to fight and expose each other's old secrets.

Nagasaki officials are well aware of the situation in Ningbo, Fujian and other places.

But north of Huanghuai, he didn't know much.

Yesterday, I asked the sailors on the ship, and they did not know the origin of the ship's owner, but only that they had set sail from near Shandong to come to Japan.

The two horses have been tested, they are castrated stallions, their shoulders are not low, and they are indeed two good horses.

Today's shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune loves hunting, or perhaps in order to cultivate samurai martial virtues, he announced the resumption of eagle hunting, but unfortunately the horses in Japan are getting shorter and shorter, so he asked the Tsushima clan to find a way to get a few horses from Korea.

The Tsushima clan couldn't do it, and Nagasaki didn't expect this to fall on his head.

If something is good, it will be effective.

Since he is a shogun and a horse, he certainly understands that if he can do it, his position can be long-term, and everyone knows that Nagasaki is a real beauty.

Moreover, this person also said that he brought a martial artist, which is even better news. Eagle hunting, you have to use a curved bow, but in recent years, the war has subsided, the archery skills of the samurai have long been degraded, and a proficient in riding and archery skills is needed to teach some of the secrets of the Central Plains.

Since this person can bring war horses, the warrior he must be talking about is not an idle person.

What Hosoi Yasuaki wanted to ask, and what the sinologist Fukami Ariji wanted to ask, were not the same questions.

"Sir, where did you come from, can't you say that?"

"Since the Celestial Empire, why ask? If you refuse to say it, you have an ulterior secret. War horses, warriors, are forbidden things, if they are caught, there will be a great disaster. If you don't ask, and I don't answer, is there an impermeable wall in the world? If you leak it out, you will want anything forbidden in the future, then it is difficult to say. ”

Talking eloquently, with a relaxed expression, Hosoi Yasuaki looked at Liu Yu's style and bearing, and thought to himself that this person's father must be in a high position, and he can be safe in front of me at a young age.

It is, according to his words. These war horses and warriors are all forbidden things on the Dashun side, not only the East is not allowed to sell, but even the South Seas are not allowed to sell, and it is extremely difficult to get them.

Now that someone has brought it, and what it says makes sense, why bother to ask about what's behind it?

After checking the incoming ship, I also sent ninjas on the ship to search it, there was nothing related to Catholicism, and there were no private missionaries, and the goods carried were also very normal white silk, mercury, etc., in addition to war horses.

Hosoi Yasuaki thinks that maybe it is a certain nobleman in Dashun who is smuggling trade in private? If that's the case, it all makes sense.

This nobleman must have a lot of power in the north, so he can easily transport his horse out of the northern ports.

Thinking of this, Hosoi Yasuaki asked again, "Has Mr. been to the capital?" ”

"That's where I grew up."

This answer made Hosoi Yasu clearly believe his own judgment: the real owner behind this cargo is a certain nobleman.

Thinking about it this way, I really can't ask too much. If you ask too much and leak the rumors, you will really be implicated.

He knew that Dashun's system was different from that of Japan, there were no real daimyos, only fictitious titles and liuguan from all over the country, in short, their salaries were very low compared to the daimyos, maybe smuggling was a good way to get money.

"Mr. grew up in the capital, so can you talk about the walls of the capital?"

"Yes."

This is not a secret, even if the Japanese know how thick the walls of the capital are, they will not be able to go for the time being. He didn't care, and said roughly about the walls of the capital, and it was the first time that he heard someone say it in such detail, so he hurriedly lowered his head and shorthanded.

asked some other questions, and Liu Yu answered fluently, and confirmed that this was a person who had lived in the capital and mixed in high society. Hosoi Yasaki's judgment was even more profound, and his impression became deeper and deeper, so he said: "There was a list before, if you can win a warrior and a war horse, you can be awarded a trade letter card, and there is a silver reward. Today's war horse has been tested, and the letter card can be taken first as a token for the coming year. It will take some time to stock up, so you can wait here and stay at Ume's house for the time being, not in Karatomachi. ”

Hosoi Yasuaki arranged for Liu Yu to stay at Tongshi's place first, and at the same time thought that he should quickly report the matter to the shogun.

Not to say anything else, but to ask the general what else he needs and what else he needs. Especially now that the general is asking someone to translate and compile the Ming Dynasty's canons, laws, etc., and perhaps there are other needs, it is not known.

This person has great ability, and he can smuggle all kinds of items in Dashun, and as for who is behind the scenes, there is no need to ask, as long as he can bring things.
