After that, in Osaka Castle, their father and son fought for a long time, and finally decided on the distribution of gold: after the gold was distributed to the others, the rest of them were divided into four or six by father and son, with 40% for righteousness and 60% for righteousness.

It was already the setting of the sun when they had finished talking about gold, and their father and son had eaten together. Both of them are very thick-skinned, and they obviously negotiated for a long time without the slightest father-son affection because of the gold matter, but they have become father-son and filial at the banquet again.

The two of them drank and talked casually, accompanied by the ministers of the two of them. At first, everyone was smiling and talking about the gold they had already had, but when it came to talking, their topic was not limited to gold.

Yizhi said to Yiman: "Do you really want to marry Mingzi's sister to Zhu Mengjiong, the king of Yong'an County of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Mikasa Palace, hasn't this matter been agreed with the Ming Kingdom? They started performing the six prostrations last month, and they can't go back on it, so why are you asking this now? Yoshimitsu said.

After Yoshiji became the king of Fuso and their family abolished their surname, they were crowned Prince Mikasa Palace and Yoshimitsu as the emperor according to tradition, so Yoshinori can also be called Mikasa Palace Yoshimo. Of course, in the documents to the Ming Dynasty, Yizhi called himself the king of the county.

Mikasa Palace Yoshichi said: "Even if the righteous heir is only equivalent to the prince of the Ming Dynasty, how can the Ming son marry a prince of the Ming Dynasty, but he is only a county king." ”

"The princes of the Ming Dynasty are all vassal kings, and the Central Plains country has always looked down on us Fusang people, how can they marry Mingzi as a concubine? It is better to marry the prince of the county as a concubine than to be a side concubine. Yoshimitsu said.

Of course, Mikasa Mikasa Yoshinori knew that Yoshimitsu's words were right, not to mention that there were other considerations for marrying Akiko; If it hadn't been for that, he would have been adamantly opposed to it when it was first discussed. But he still felt depressed in his heart.

He added: "There is also the matter of leasing Yokohama, how can I, Fuso, rent a place from a foreign country." ”

"It's not a lease, it's a dowry for Akiko, and it's counted as a field of 10,000 koku. The local people are also the daimyo who still belong to Fuso. Yoshimitsu corrected.

"If the local daimyo relies on the Ming people, then it will be even more difficult for us to make the local daimyo obedient." Mikasa said.

"I know this, too, but isn't it more dangerous for the Ming to name Yokohama and let the Ming people use the port of the Seto Inland Sea? So I can only lend Yokohama to them for use. And I have already asked the envoy of the Ming Kingdom, Zhu Mengjiong has been appointed by the emperor of the Ming State as the general army of Yokohama, it seems that he wants to guard Yokohama for a long time, as long as the Ming son can envelop Zhu Mengjiong's heart, the daimyo of Kanto will naturally not get the support of the Ming State. ”

"In order to let Mingzi envelop Zhu Mengjiong, I let those maids who specialize in serving the envoys of the Ming Kingdom teach Mingzi, and it will definitely make Zhu Mengjiong like Mingzi." Yoshimitsu said.

"What's more, our Fusang is not one of those small countries in Nanyang, even if the Ming Kingdom interferes, as long as our family is thriving, we will not be afraid at all. Didn't the Yuan Kingdom cross the sea twice to invade back then? We Fuso samurai all have a high sense of Japanese self-esteem, and no one dares to collude with outsiders openly. ”

"And since the Ming Kingdom wants Yokohama, it will be of great use, and it will most likely be an important transit place for the fleet. So that we can do business with them and make money. ”

In fact, when Yunxi sent an envoy to say that he wanted to lease Yokohama, he Yoshimitsu also felt a little panicked. After repeated research, the conditions for Daming were finally set. He also consulted with the daimyo of Kanto for a long time before they agreed to give up Yokohama.

At this time, except for Yoshimitsu's father and son, the other ministers were already drunk and began to run the train with their mouths full. Shinichi Sumitomo, the head of another merchant of the shogunate, said, "I can't imagine that there are so many treasures in those deserted places in the north. I heard that after the country, Jinning still found many places? There may be a lot more precious treasures. We Fusang also have to send a fleet to explore the north, and we can't let these treasures be monopolized by the Ming people. ”

"Yes, these places are originally in the north of Fusang, closer to Fusang, and the treasures there should have been Fusang people!" Someone chimed in.

Yoshimitsu and Mikasa Mikasa Yoshimochi father and son just smiled when they heard these words. The treasure buried in the ground and ownerless is naturally the first to find out to whom, and Fusang can't beat Mingguo, saying these words is just a joke. The person who spoke just now was just drunk and talking nonsense, and he wouldn't say such things when he was sober, which made people laugh.

But Mikasa Palace Yoshinori seemed to have moved his mind: "Father, there is still some truth in the first half of Sumitomo Shinichi's sentence, let's also send a fleet to explore the north." ”

"Yoshitori," Yoshimitsu said solemnly, calling him by his real name, "how do we compare Fusang to the Ming Kingdom?" The Ming Kingdom was powerful, and even if hundreds of ships and thousands of sailors all died in the north, it would have no impact on the country; But if our Fusang loses so much, the sailor will be broken! ”

"This time we sent a fleet to explore the north, twenty of the hundred ships were from the lords of the Northeast Domain, and thirty were pirates who were temporarily recruited, we incorporated the ships of these remnant pirates into the Sailors, but we lost twenty ships, but if they didn't bring back the gold, we don't know how long it would take to replenish these twenty ships."

"So don't compare it with Mingguo. The family funds in our hands are all saved by two or three generations of hard work, and there is no wasted capital. You can follow Mingguo to secretly pick up some leftovers. ”

After all, Mikasa Palace Yoshimochi is still young, and he still has the enthusiasm of young people, so he is quite dissatisfied with this situation.

Because he was a general of Zhengyi after all, he directly held some fleets in his hands and had contacts with the daimyo in various places, so he told again: "This time our fleet has finally returned partially, but I heard that the Korean fleet has been wiped out. At this moment, half of the North Korean sailors were lost, and there was no gold to be seen, and half of the coastline of North Korea was unprotected, and pirates were afraid that they would frequent it, and taxes would probably be reduced. ”

"And I also heard that they have a lot of losses from the children of big families in China, and Zhu Fangyuan has a lot of troubles in the future! If we come to Fusang like this, I'm afraid there will be trouble. Let's just say that this time, many samurai died at sea, how to appease them and still have headaches. ”

Hearing this, Yoshinori Mikasa finally became honest. No matter how confident he was, he didn't dare to say that there would be no casualties in the exploration. If a samurai dies at sea, there will be a lot of trouble. He didn't know how much it would cost him to appease the samurai families when he returned to Kyoto.

Yoshimitsu saw that he understood, so he didn't say more. He looked at the moment and saw that it was getting late, so he let everyone disperse.

He finally said to Yoshitomo: "If you want to be a competent ruler, remember one word: prudence. Taking risks is something that people with nothing and deep pockets do, not people like us. ”
