The history of this parallel plane had not changed until the appearance of the Traveler. Therefore, if we push the time forward 45 years from 1627, a significant event in Japanese history still happened on time.

Honnoji Rebellion - On June 21, 1582, Oda Nobunaga, who was in full swing, was attacked by his subordinate Akechi Mitsuhide and was forced to commit suicide at Honnoji Temple in Kyoto.

At that time, he brought only a small retinue, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo Shogunate, who was in Sakai Town to contact and buy muskets, immediately received relevant information. Please note that the information was provided to Ieyasu by a wealthy Kyoto merchant named Chaya Shiro Jiro Kiyonobu.

Ieyasu encountered the biggest crisis of his life: "Iga Etsu". At that time, Iga had already spread the news of the Honnoji incident, and the order was extremely chaotic. Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was anxious to return to Mikawa Okazaki Castle, had to take great risks to cross the Iga Mountain Road, which was full of bandits. However, the wealthy merchant Chaya Shiro Jiro Kiyonobu accompanied him all the way, and he asked for generous excuses along the way, and the money opened the way, so that the fugitive samurai "make it convenient for Ieyasu-sama", and finally Ieyasu arrived safely in Ise Shirakohama and boarded the return boat of Okazaki Castle.

In a way, Kiyonobu was Ieyasu's lifesaver. At the moment when Ieyasu boarded the boat, the combination of Edo Lü Buwei + Shogunate Shanxi Yankee was born.

From then on, as the agent of the shogunate in Kyoto, Chaya Kiyonobu wielded enormous intelligence and financial power.

His descendants were generals and retainers, and their power only increased.

Shiro Jiro Kiyoji, the third generation of the tea house, was the first to receive Ieyasu's license to trade in the Imperial Seal, and served as the vanguard of Japan's internationalization in the early years of Edo.

Later, Qingji also obtained the privilege of the shogunate's "silk cutting charm" policy at that time - the Japanese version of the silk unified purchase and sales, the tea house was both a referee and an athlete at that time, and he was the one who unified the purchase, and he was the one who made money.

During the Edo shogunate years, which lasted for more than 260 years, the teaya family and the Tokugawa family lived and fell together, and they truly became related to the country.

......

The horse-faced samurai Toru Higashino, who was slapped in the face by Cai Feiming in public, is the retainer of the current head of the Kyoto Tea House family, the captain of the Vermilion Boat, and a professional manager.

It has been 24 hours since the Japanese Village was broken down. Toru Higashino stood at the door of the chief's office, looking at the Yaga pirates coming in and out, he could only bow his head slightly at the moment to hide the hatred in his eyes.

Toru Higashino knew that there were not many days left before the day of his caesarean section.

The Ming pirates sent out slaves and laborers to empty the village of all the goods and silver money yesterday. The Japanese now have nothing, only some rice left in the empty village.

Early this morning, the pirates called Higashino and several other shippers to the merchant house, where a chubby pirate clerk took them to count the goods, and then weighed all the silver bars with a strange scale.

After issuing the list of goods, the fat pirate smiled and told them that in the future, the Japanese would adopt advanced "bill-based" transactions in their trade. Therefore, the pirates will exchange the silver bars in the warehouse for equivalent paper notes to their owners according to the silver content in them. As one of the first merchants to enjoy the facilitation policy, Higashino and several other shippers were able to obtain a trade license issued by the pirates and obtain a business license (free of cost).

As for the banknotes, the fat pirate told them with some embarrassment: the banknotes are still on the way to the big man, and the Japanese are not in a hurry to leave anyway, he will first open a white slip to everyone as a proof.

Dongye and the others were at the door of the governor's office at this time, waiting for the white slip that Wang Liguo gave them. None of them were armed - iron cannons, short knives such as ribs and daggers were all confiscated yesterday, and the pirates who left behind the long-handled katana were not allowed to bring the samurai into the merchant house.

Knowing far more about the Ming Kingdom than the Traveler Higashino Uetoru knew by the moment what kind of trick the Crossing Company was playing: they would ship a lot of Ming money, and then issue some seemingly legitimate rules to silently turn the silver bars brought by the merchants into their own.

Higashino had lost hope in those silver bars, and now he just wanted to get back the ship, and then try to salvage some deerskins from the liar, greedy and cunning pirates as much as possible, and then return to Kyoto with humiliation, and report everything in front of the head of the family, after that, it was time to wash away his shame - I hope that a noble adult would help him take care of it......

Just when the horse-faced samurai was immersed in the fantasy of the wonderful Lapelvian Formula he had designed, Cai Feiming walked out of the door and brought the Japanese businessmen into the official residence.

There are already several senior executives of the company standing in the official residence. Wang Liguo first stood up on behalf of the company to give a white note to the book merchant - at present, the company's reserves only have some A4 paper, and there is nothing else in printing, so there is only a white strip, which is stamped with the private seals of Xia Xianze and Wang Liguo.

Then there was the issuance of a temporary business license: a square cut out of a white corrugated cardboard box, on which the owner of the license was indicated in colored pencils, and a permit allowing this person to trade in Dayuan in 1627-1628, with an additional personal seal of Cai Feiming.

Next, on behalf of the company, Cai Feiming promulgated several commercial regulations that had been discussed yesterday: including the unified purchase and sale of deerskins in the future, the compulsory exchange of precious metals, and the taxation of all existing goods of the Japanese.

When a few Japanese businessmen heard this, their faces were as dead as ashes.

Of course, the good news is not without it. Cai Feiming announced with a smile on his face: After research, the adults decided to exempt the Japanese from punishment for their previous behavior of hiding dead soldiers (taking in banda and fishermen); In addition, the taxes that were evaded by the Japanese before 1627 were also exempted.

The Japanese are still dead-faced.

The well-prepared scene was a little awkward. Cai Feiming frowned and walked up to Dong Ye, habitually poked his chest, and asked in a low voice: "You bastard, why are you still like a dead man under such good conditions?" ”

"Please stop teasing the merchants, Cai Sang! I don't want to say it directly, but no one will be happy about this kind of trade terms. ”

Cai Feiming chopped the corrugated cardboard on Dongye's hand with his fingers: "You don't know how valuable this thing is?" ”

"Hey, maybe I was careless, I'll keep it properly!"

Cai Feiming, whose eyes were full of doubts, stared at Dongye, who was full of resentment and resentment, and obviously did not take the industrial and commercial license in his hand seriously, and began to ponder.

The next moment, Cai Feiming shook his head violently, stared at the person behind him and asked, "Bureau, when you took inventory today, didn't you bring a book to see our own library?" ”

Wang Liguo blinked a pair of small eyes and tried to recall: "Oh, it seems that someone mentioned it to me yesterday, hehe, I was busy with the account in the morning, and I forgot ......"

Cai Feiming slapped his forehead twice with the palm of his hand, and after secretly scolding the dog official twice in his heart, he pushed and shoved a group of Japanese businessmen to the door of the company's own warehouse.

Waiting for the warehouse manager to open the door, Cai Feiming gently pulled out the white strip from Dongye's hand, and shook back and forth in front of him: "The things in it can be exchanged with this piece of paper, you Baga warrior, what kind of nasty embryo do you imagine Lord Mingguo to be?" ”

Dongye Kamitoru rushed out of the warehouse ten minutes later and crouched in front of Cai Sang: "Please don't have the slightest mercy, punish Dongye mercilessly, Cai San!" Please! ”
