Jiang De looked at the bitterness on Settsu Changqing's face, pulled Settsu Changqing's back and said, "Lord Settsu, don't think this matter is a bad thing, this matter may be a little humiliating to the Japanese country, but it is a great thing for adults." ”

Settsu Nagaqing sighed and said, "What a good thing is this?" ”

Jiang De said in a low voice, "Lord Settsu, think about it, the Marquis of Pingyin of my family holds the entire territory of Goryeo, and he is the Marquis of the Song Dynasty, so it can be said that the supply of goods in his hand is endless." If the sea route between the Wa Kingdom and the Pingyin Marquis is opened, I am afraid that this Settsu City will not be able to fit the wealth in it.

But can adults grasp such wealth? Just one right to buy first, it's good for adults to have some soup.

But if the lord leases a piece of land to the Marquis of Pingyin, the Marquis of Pingyin will naturally appreciate your sincerity, and I can persuade General Zhang to write to the Marquis of Pingyin together, and let the Marquis of Pingyin stipulate that the right to buy the goods will be handed over to you, so that it will be difficult for the Marquis of Pingyin not to make a fortune. ”

Hearing that he could make a fortune, Settsu Nagakiyoshi immediately forgot all the previous unhappiness, and he said uncertainly, "But leasing land to foreign countries must be approved by Lord Seki or His Majesty, even if I agree, once Lord Seki or His Majesty is angry and sends troops to attack, what should I do then?" ”

Jiang De smiled and said, "May I ask my lord, as far as I know, your country now has two wives, one is a regent, others say that there are no two days, and now there are three lords in the country, you say, which of these three adults is willing to spend their strength on the war between the princes of peace and yin?" ”

Settsu Changqing was still a little hesitant, and Jiang De shouted, "When you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it!" If the adults don't make a decision, I'm afraid that General Zhang will be angry, and Settsu will be ruined, and I don't know who will benefit at that time, but the century-old foundation of the Settsu family will inevitably be ruined! ”

"Settsu family...."Settsu Nagakiyo stamped his feet and said, "Okay! I'm contracted! ”

Under Jiang De's maneuvering, Setjin Changqing signed an agreement with Zhang Shun that night, agreeing that nearly 700 acres of land was allocated to the Marquis of Pingyin for lease for a period of 30 years, with a total of 14 leases. It was also agreed that the Japanese army and samurai were not allowed to enter the land, and that any criminals would be arrested and sent out by the soldiers in the concession. All in all, this is almost a copy of the concession treaties of the later powers in China.

The only biggest difference is that it is agreed that only all the goods will be purchased by Settsu Changqing first, and this time, Settsu Changqing can be said to make money as long as he lies down.

When the day dawned, the people of the Wa Kingdom, who had been waiting at home all night, began to carefully walk out of the house, and many of them were surprised to find that the place where the Great King Flag changed overnight actually became the land of the Song Kingdom.

Not to mention them, even Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Song Kingdom, didn't know that he woke up with another piece of land.

The people of Settsu were adapting to the new situation, and the agreement signed by Zhang Shun and Settsu Nagaqing was sent to Heiankyo before the pen and ink were dry, after all, it was not the later Warring States at this time, and the dominance and authority of Heiankyo were still there.

- Heiankyo

"What? There was a clash in Settsu, with thousands of dead and wounded? ”

A widow in an official uniform exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, the people sent by Settsumori are outside."

"Call in!" The official uniformed Japanese hurriedly shouted.

A man dressed as a samurai walked in, bowed down and said, "I've seen Lord Seki in Shimosettsu." ”

It turned out that this official uniform was the Japanese regent of the Japanese country, Fujiwara Faithful. And Settsu is a messenger sent by Settsu Nagaki.

Don't look at the fact that Fujiwara has lost the power to control the central government now, but there are still countless powerful people attached to him, especially the Fujiwara family has been deeply rooted for hundreds of years, so that most of the Japanese government and the opposition are surnamed Fujiwara, even if it is the decree of Toba and Shirakawa, it is almost impossible to really completely abandon the Fujiwara family and be implemented.

"I heard reports that there was a clash between the Koreans and us, and thousands of people were killed and wounded? What the hell is going on? Fujiwara asked.

Settsu replied, "Back to Lord Seki, two days ago in the middle of the night, there was a samurai Miura Yoshiaki from the north who led people to steal on the Goryeo cargo ship after drinking, destroying things and injuring people, the Goryeo army pursued, and our army night patrol samurai clashed, and finally led to a battle between the two armies, more than 1,000 casualties, more than half of the Settsu port was destroyed, and the Settsu Shofu was breached. ”

Fujiwara faithfully asked people to hand it over, and after looking at it for a while, he said angrily, "Ridiculous! How can I lease the land of the Wa Kingdom to the Song State to rule? can only practice the Song Law, which is something that has never been heard of for thousands of years, and it is absolutely not feasible, it is absolutely not feasible! ”

Settsu refreshed his mind and kowtowed and said, "The Goryeo army is extremely fierce, that day and night fighting, our army suffered nearly a thousand casualties, they only injured dozens of people, if you want to go to war, I am afraid that the blood will flow like a river, not to mention that the cause of this incident is that our samurai are at fault first, if you want to go to war, one is not right, and the other is that the people of Li suffer, my head of the family please think twice." ”

Fujiwara faithfully looked around, waved his hand, and everyone around him retreated.

Fujiwara was nearly forty years old at this time, and at this age, he was thinking about how to cheer up the Fujiwara family, but he couldn't figure out what to do.

"Settsu boy, where do you put the right to buy first when you sign such an agreement?"

"My lord, this is actually the meaning of the Pingyin Marquis's subordinates, they are very dissatisfied with the right to buy first and the Tang shop system, this time they hope to open up a trade route."

"I know that their advice has been rejected by His Majesty and the Emperor." Fujiwara said with an expression that I understood, "I tell you, such an agreement will never be recognized by the imperial court. ”

Settsu stepped forward a little refreshment, and whispered, "As long as the adults agree, wouldn't it?" The head of my family said that he was willing to let the adults buy it first, and it was better to give the right to the court first, rather than to the adults. ”

"Is that true?" Fujiwara Faithful suddenly said in surprise, after ten years of being Guan Bai, he naturally knew how many interests this trade route would represent, and if he really changed the right to buy first from the imperial court to his Fujiwara family, he didn't dare to imagine how much wealth there was.

You must know that since Shirakawa formulated the government of the Yuan, and the power of national government was transferred to the Yuan, the Fujiwara family has become weaker and weaker, and Fujiwara Tadashi is the one who witnessed all this.

He is also thinking about how to redeem such a disadvantage, thinking again and again, the reason why Shirakawa was able to suppress the Fujiwara family was actually relying on those middle-level officials, that is, middle-level lords, these people all hoped to be on the next step, and in the Wa Kingdom that had been peaceful for so many years, the way to make so many people take another step was to defeat the first lord Fujiwara family.

Fujiwara Faithful also wants to win over these lords, but he can't come up with any bargaining chips at all, so he can't take out his family's land.

But now, if the right to buy this trade route can be in the hands of the Fujiwara family, Fujiwara Faithful will have a way to stir up the current situation and let those centrists slowly slide towards him.

After all, digging in the soil, where is the business to make money quickly.

Fujiwara was faithful, he nodded and said, "If the Setzu family has such sincerity, I will definitely not let the Setzu family suffer, and the only obstacle to this matter is Your Majesty and the Emperor." ”

Settsu refreshed himself and said, "Trouble, sir." ”

Fujiwara Faithful's eyes rolled for a while, and he said, "Since this matter is caused by the samurai of the north, it is not difficult to think about it." ”

- Two days later

"Bang dang!" A clay bowl was thrown to the ground, and the maids outside buried their heads, not daring to make a sound, for fear of being in trouble.

"This damn Fujiwara is faithful, and he actually said that the northern samurai did not abide by the law, causing the two armies of Setsu to fight, with thousands of casualties, and asked for the abolition of the northern samurai, how can this be justified, how can it be justified!" White River spouted in drools while constantly spinning in circles.

Toba knelt down on the side and said, "This matter is caused by Yoshiaki Miura..."

"That's what he did!" Bai He roared excitedly, "He's just a samurai, how can he do such a big thing, someone must have designed it!" It's not those Koreans, it's the Fujiwara family! ”

Toba lowered his head, in front of Shirakawa, his so-called emperor, in fact, is just a puppet with no rights, not to mention him, even his father Emperor Horikawa, because of his age, and Shirakawa for power, as a result, not only was forced to marry his aunt, but also died of illness at the age of 29, you know, the Fujiwara family at that time was standing behind Horikawa, even so, it also ended up dying early, and how could Toba, who witnessed all this, dare to disobey the orders of his imperial grandfather.

But in fact, even so, in history, after Toba gave birth to a child, he was forced to abdicate by Shirakawa, after all, an adult emperor is still not as easy to manipulate as a baby emperor.

Bai He squinted and walked out of the door and said, "The source of life is righteousness, peace and prosperity, and Amper's line is here to discuss matters!" ”

It didn't take long for the three of them to walk in, these three people are the representatives of the samurai in the north, and Ampei Youxing is the great-grandson of the famous Ampei Harumi, who is the head of the Japanese Onmyoji at this time, and the official position is the head of the Yin and Yang Liao: Yin and Yang Head.

Unlike the Central Plains, Japan's religion has always been in the hands of the imperial court, and these onmyoji were usually the masterminds of the Japanese magnates.

Shirakawa looked at the three of them and said, "You've all heard about Settsu, right?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and Yuan Weiyi was the youngest and most vigorous, and he was the first to say, "Those Goryeo people dare to make such an impudent request, please give your Majesty an order, and you are willing to lead your troops there!" ”

Bai He looked at Ping Zhengsheng again, and Ping Zhengsheng shouted, "The blood of the last general is willing to flow for Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty orders, the last general is willing to lead the army to go!" ”

Bai He shook his head, and then looked at An Pei Youxing, who was holding a fan in his hand, shook it lightly, and said, "I have some contact with the Goryeo envoy Xu Guanzhong, and I know that the Marquis of Pingyin sent him here this time in the hope of opening up trade routes, and I think it is because after we refused, they abandoned Your Majesty and went to unite with the Regent family and the Sejin family in order to cancel our sea ban." Seki said that he wanted to cancel the samurai of the north, but in fact, the purpose was only in the matter of this sea ban.

The matter has come to this point, we are already one step behind, for today's plan, Xiaosheng has three strategies to dedicate to Your Majesty. ”

"Say!"

The best policy, pushing the boat down the river, promised to lease the land to the Song State, but asked to return the right to buy the first to the imperial court.

Zhongce, hypocrisy and grievance, while agreeing, while sending a messenger to the Song State to cry, the Marquis of Pingyin and the Lord of the Song State face and heart discord, as long as the Song State decrees to abolish the agreement, then we can justifiably tear up the agreement.

Make a decision, send troops to fight, and order Settsu and the Fujiwara family to send troops to fight against the Marquis of Pingyin, and the samurai in the north will suppress the formation, but in this way..."

"What's going on here?" Toba asked curiously.

"The benefits of sea trade are extremely rich, I can't wait, but other heroes want it, such as sending troops to fight, the winning rate is very low, and I don't wait to take this profit, but the regents will be willing to take this advantage to win people's hearts." Ampere said.

Bai He closed his eyes and pondered, and Ping Zhengsheng shouted, "This is the benefit of the imperial court, how can you let the place be taken away?" ”

Shirakawa nodded and said, "yes... This is the benefit of the imperial court, An Pei, I will let you go and talk to Xu Guanzhong, it is not impossible to rent a place, but this is the right to buy first, and it can only be given to the imperial court! ”

"Your Majesty, is this going to open the sea?" Ampere reconfirmed.

"I thought that there were only three things in the world: the water of the Kamo River, the gambling game of Double Six and the mountain mage, which were not as good as I wanted, but I didn't expect that there was one more one today." Bai He said with a sigh.

An Pei said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, Goryeo just wants to trade, if it is peaceful today, it is the time when merchants are prosperous, as long as the rules are established, it may be beneficial and harmless." ”

"Let's hope... If so, what will happen to the Fujiwara family? ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Fujiwara family originally wanted to use the sea ban to buy those local powers, but now that this sword is back in our hands, how can he abolish the northern samurai alone?"

"Good! Do it! ”

- Settsu

In just a few days, a simple fence was built in the area that was encircled as a concession, dozens of high lookouts were basically completed, and the sun and moon flags and Song flags were hung up, and three or five people could stand on each lookout, holding bows and arrows and binoculars to monitor the four directions at any time.

In the lease, many people's houses have been demolished, of course, these people have got a lot of silver brocade, and they happily ran outside the concession to buy a new house.

In the demolished place, groups of Japanese craftsmen were re-laying the foundation to build houses, Jiang De walked on the road, looking at the scene of this construction, and kept nodding.

"Xiao Langjun, Zhang Shun has sent news that Huang Da has been contacted, and five thousand sergeants and one hundred supplies will arrive in Setjin within ten days." Hua Diao whispered to Jiang De.

"Good! Mr. Xu also came with the news that the lord of the Wa Kingdom and the Fujiwara family wanted to get this right of first purchase, and it was funny to say that this right of first purchase has now become a right to sell first. Jiang De shook his head, disapproving at the infighting in the Wa Kingdom at this time, which is also thanks to the fact that in the Wa Kingdom, whether it is the emperor of the Wan Shi family or the regent Fujiwara, in fact, it is a family. If it were in the Central Plains, I'm afraid that these two sides would have killed you and me a long time ago.
