Chapter 505: A Coincidental Encounter
Late at night, hundreds of thousands of cotton cloths were unloaded into warehouses and guarded by government troops.
Although there is a government army guard, Chen Daojian still went to the warehouse to check, although he is young, but thoughtful, cautious and fine, the Qin King Shogunate has been restructured, Chen Daojian was ordered to take charge of the Department of Internal Affairs, this mission to Wadao is not only trade, but also involves cooperation with the Kang family father and son, plus the communication contract with the Ouchi family, or Chen Daojian has to run such a trip.
Excluding the wages of the workers, the cost of the mill machine, and the share given to the Marquis of Changwen, the Qin Wangfu can still retain about 1.5 million guan, which is of course quite a rich return.
The cotton fields will be opened up and expanded again, and the next harvest can reach more than 300,000 horses, with the ultimate goal of producing one million horses per year.
If all of them are exported, the Japanese country will not be able to eat it, and it is imperative to trade with Luzon and other countries.
The Qin Wangfu will leave a small amount of cotton cloth for its own use, and most of it will be exported.
Before Chen Daojian went to sea, he already knew that His Royal Highness King Qin had raided the family of King Zhao, his son, and Liu Guangsi, and obtained more than one million yuan of assets, but the trade with the Japanese State did not reduce its weight.
The seizure of the house was only done by chance, and the military commanders of the shogunate had high hopes for this trade.
From the various industries of the Eastern Domain, the normal profit of millions or even tens of millions, coupled with the regular income of Fujian Road, this is the number of serious roads and the foundation of raising soldiers.
After inspecting the warehouse, Chen Daojian was quite satisfied, and had a secret conversation with Zhang Bofu, Deng Fang and others in the building.
"Ouchi's final proposal can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone."
After Zhang Bofu heard this, he immediately said: "I know that Ezo Oshima has only built a city for decades, and the Matsumae clan has been appointed as the flag. There are more than 100,000 Ezo people on the island, who live by fishing and hunting, and the tribes are scattered and the people are weak. The island is bitterly cold in winter and cool in spring and summer, but it is indeed a good place to raise horses. Sixty percent of the land is volcanic and mountainous, and forty percent is plain, and there are many dense forests in the plains, so even so, if you can raise horses in Ezo, hundreds of thousands, millions of horses will not be a problem. The intention of the Ouchi family is to give us horse land and vote for His Royal Highness's favor, so as to attract us to use troops against the Japanese country. The second level of intention was to use this incident to attack the prestige of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the Japanese people were scattered, and the daimyo in various places did their own thing, and the shogun was just a righteous name and the strongest. If he lost his territory in the hands of the shogun, his prestige would be greatly reduced, and the strength of the shogunate would be greatly reduced, and there would be no threat to the Ouchi family in the future. Even if any force suddenly becomes stronger, it may be decades or hundreds of years later. A family governor, with all his might, can seek peace for the family for decades, and the governor of Ouchi can also be satisfied. ”
Deng Fang said on the side: "If that's the case, wouldn't we be fighting for the Ouchi family?" ”
"Not really." Chen Daojian said: "This matter also has enough benefits for us. On the one hand, there were solid allies and trade routes, and the shogunate did not dare to cut trade. Second, the king must be very happy to have to raise horses, and he can also greatly expand the Dingkou and land controlled by the Eastern Domain. Prior to this, the king was considering using troops to seize the land of raising horses in the Ryukyus, but the Ryukyus had always been respectful to the Great Wei, and it was immoral to use troops against him, and there would definitely be impeachment in the Great Wei country, which was not good for the king's reputation, and this Ezo land was more suitable than the Ryukyus, which was also a great benefit to us. Third, we can use this to train our troops. ”
Zhang Bofu agreed, and said: "Lord Chen's analysis is really a good thing for us. ”
"That's why the Ouchi family dared to mention this." Chen Daojian sat cross-legged on the ground, but his figure seemed to be as majestic as a mountain, his eyebrows stretched, and he said with a smile: "I will repair a book tonight, which can be regarded as the common opinion of several of us, and we can reach a secret agreement with the Ouchi family
The father and son of the Kang family reached a secret agreement, what do you think? ”
Zhang Bofu said: "I agree." ”
Deng Fang also said: "Xiaguan also agrees with what Lord Chen said. ”
Chen Daojian nodded slightly, then Zhang Bofu clapped his hands, someone pushed the door outside and came in, Zhang Bofu ordered softly, and asked people to quickly bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
After Chen Daojian finished writing the letter, Zhang Bofu would use the seal as the envoy of the embassy in Japan, and Deng Fang would send military intelligence personnel to hurry out of the port to send the letter back to the Great Wei.
Everyone felt excited, Chen Daojian's main goal of this envoy was to consult with the Kang family father and son, and sell cotton cloth to determine the business operation of the Wa State, but they never expected that there was a distrust within the Wa State, which gave the Eastern Domain an opportunity to intervene in the Wa State by force and obtain greater benefits.
Zhang Bofu smiled at this time: "The Japanese are respectful on the surface, but they are actually arrogant inside. They lost to Datang in their early years and learned from Datang for a hundred years. Later, seeing that the Tang Dynasty was weakened, the Tang envoys were not sent. Later, my Huaxia was attacked by the north and the south, and almost lost the luck of the country, and the Japanese people were even more proud, because they repelled more than 100,000 troops from the north, and they called the typhoon a kamikaze, and the pride was overflowing. After our Great Wei, the founding and the country, the Japanese people are not as respectful as serving the Tang Dynasty, because we have strong enemies in the north and west, and the national strength of the Great Wei is not as strong as that of the Tang Dynasty. In the past few decades, the pirates have risen, the Great Wei Navy has been defeated, and the Japanese have become even more arrogant and rude. When we first arrived, the Ouchi family didn't even send out a family elder, but only sent a samurai leader to contact us, and I still get angry when I think about it. After our Eastern Domain's army swept through the Wa Kingdom, let's see if they are still as arrogant as they are now. ”
"It turns out that Brother Bofu has suffered such a." Chen Daojian said: "Don't worry, just wait for it, sooner or later you have to ask them to come back." ”
……
"Father, Chen Daojian has seen the governor of the Ouchi family, and he has already returned to their Eastern Domain."
Kang Tianqi had a wooden hairpin on his head, his gray hair was combed quite neatly, and several servants wiped the oak floor with a damp cloth in the house, and the floor was as clean as if it had been wiped clean.
This wooden pavilion is built near the sea, behind it is a valley-like harbor, full of trestles and docks, a large number of ships are moored here, to the port, foreign merchant ships are also quite safe, Kang Tianqi will never allow anyone to destroy his foundation, in the country of the Japanese business is his main source of income, is quite safe in this place.
"Maybe it's because I'm old,......" Kang Tianqi did not respond directly to his son, but said with emotion: "I like to lean here and watch the sea." ”
Kang Enmao glanced at his father strangely and said, "If my father wants to play on the sea, he has a ready-made boat." If you want to fish, why bother to feel this way? ”
"I'm going to get dizzy when I get on the boat, and I can't hold it anymore." Kang Tianqi turned his head, but his eyes were still as sharp as before. He said to his eldest son: "Chen Daojian's son is unusual, do you guess he will agree to the conditions of the Ouchi family and make a contract with them?" ”
"Such a big thing, my son feels that it is not something that Chen Daojian can call the shots, and he should repay it. Now it depends on the meaning of King Qin, judging from his son, an enterprising figure like King Qin will definitely agree. ”
"Your judgment is correct." Kang Tianqi smiled slightly and said, "The old man also thinks the same way. ”
"My son has some concerns. One is that I don't know if the Zhongshan army of the Eastern Domain is really that powerful and can defeat the shogunate army. Second, I don't know when King Qin will be able to pull out his hand? ”
"The shogunate army will not be an opponent of the Zhongshan army." Kang Tianqi sighed and said, "It's a rogue, and the old man is also a little worried!" If it is involved
It's too long, time is fleeting, and the inner family is not calm, if there is no internal response, simply conquer by force, King Qin does not have this ability. ”
Kang Enmao's eyes flashed, and he said, "What if we also make a move?" ”
"If you're a pioneer, you can." Kang Tian prayed: "If you want to be a famous man with an official position in the Wa Kingdom and enjoy wealth and prosperity, then you can't. How to choose, you decide. ”
……
"This is my eldest brother." Huang Laigui, who was wearing a team officer's uniform, touched his head and introduced to a group of comrades with a smile: "The deck captain of the middle number one. ”
The No. 1 is also the largest warship in China, with a nearly 400-ton battleship equipped with two eight-bull crossbows, and each time it is fired, an iron spear as thick as a child's arm shoots out, which is enough to hit the hardwood hull and fly the sawdust sideways, and if it hits the crowd on the deck, it will cause the enemy to suffer extremely heavy casualties.
In addition to the bed crossbow, the Craftsman also added two trebuchets in the bow and stern to compensate for the lack of long-range mass destruction.
"I've met all of you, brothers, I'll go to the middle 11 next month to pick up the ship, and it's a coincidence that we can meet today." Huang Laifu nibbled on the light yellow lemon, this thing was so sour that his face seemed to be bitter when he greeted him.
Huang Laigui laughed and smiled at Luo Fangxiao beside him: "This thing from your Lan Fang is really deadly." ”
"Hahaha......"
Several Lan Fang people laughed.
Luo Fangxiao laughed for a while and said: "This thing seems to have been passed down from Tianfang, and it is quite suitable for planting in our Lanfang, but it is too sour, and everyone doesn't treat it as a fruit, just to season it when cooking." ”
Huang Laifu finished taking the last bite and said: "The king said that the people of heaven and Taixi are prone to illness when they sail away, because they can't eat fresh vegetables and fruits for a long time. Now, we will return in ten and a half days at sea, and we will have vegetables and fruits to eat in the first few days on the ship, so it is not a big problem. If you will sail far away in the future, you have to adapt in advance, wine, tea, lemons, and grapefruits, you must prepare more, otherwise the brothers will not die of wind and waves and pirates, but will die of illness, it will be really wronged. ”
Of course, Luo Fangxiao also knew that he stayed in the cavalry team for a month, and then was transferred to the lecture hall, and then came down and then assigned to the water division.
He said with admiration: "The Taixi people are the most capable of sailing, and indeed they have the most diseases and deaths, and the king is really omniscient and omniscient." ”
Huang Laifu showed an expression of approval on his face, no matter what, as long as someone praised King Qin, these loyal and down-to-earth men were the most agreeable.
Huang Laifu was first in Fu No. 1, then to Ling No. 1, and finally transferred to Zhong No. 1.
He is becoming more and more experienced, and his knowledge of various ships is also very much more than anyone else.
Huang Laifu will stay in the No. 1 for a while, and he will be transferred to another warship, and if a large warship of more than 500 tons is successfully built in the future, he is also quite hopeful that he will become the captain of a certain warship in the future.
In the port of the Eastern Domain, another warship has just been launched, and Huang Laifu has great hopes.
The Eastern Domain is training a large number of sailors, selecting suitable candidates from the sailors, skilled and temperamental to convince the public to become deck captains, boatswains, skilled sailors, crossbow officers, medical non-commissioned officers from among the doctors, responsible and clever chefs from the cooks, logistics supply, daily management is the business of the deputy captain, the captain is in charge of the overall situation, mainly with the navigator, boatswain, the general direction of the course, supplies, helm and other general directions.
The warships and merchant ships of the Eastern Domain were quite hierarchical and reasonably distributed, so it can be said that they were ahead of their time in terms of organizational structure.
