Zhu Mengjiong listened to Fang Mingqian's words and felt that it was very reasonable. Ban Yan said: "Then the king and the minister of Fusang will discuss this matter with the general of Zhengyi?" "He doesn't want to have a bad relationship with either the Kanto Daimyo or the Fuso Imperial Court right now.

After all, this is the territory of Fuso, the local samurai are savage and fierce, and the people are ignorant and obedient to the superiors, and he knows that before he came to Yokohama and now, there are many Fuso samurai who fiercely oppose lending Yokohama to Daming, even as a dowry for the princess. These people have only been suppressed for the time being, and if there are people with higher status and not weak strength to encourage them, it is very likely that something will happen. He believed that Yun Xi would not be soft on Fusang, but if the emperor in the capital had to take action, he would definitely be regarded as incompetent, which was not a good thing for him.

"Lord Wang, it is estimated that His Majesty and the Minister of Fuso have estimated this matter, and most of them are talking about it, and they will inform the prince when there is a result." Fang Mingqian said. He didn't believe that Yun Hee, who was both economical and shrewd, would not foresee this.

Zhu Mengjiong was right when he thought about it, Yun Xi attaches great importance to financial and tax matters, and it is impossible not to remember it. But after thinking for a while, he said, "No matter what, Your Majesty has no will now, so don't let these merchants trade directly with the Fuso people. You let that Lu Shi's thousand households rectify it, and wait for His Majesty's will to act according to it. ”

Fang Mingqian was not surprised at all by this modest decision, and replied in a deep voice: "Yes, Lord Wang." ”

Zhu Mengjiong told him a few more things and asked him to step down.

When Fang Mingqian retreated, he took out two books from the drawer and said to himself: "It seems that being a general soldier in Yokohama can't just know how to fight and govern like being a county king in the capital, you must know some knowledge of finance and taxation." ”

Then he opened one of the books and read it, and put the other one beside him. Through the bright daylight in the room, it can be seen that the cover of the book reads: "The Matter of the Merchant", and the author is anonymous.

There is also a line of small print at the bottom of the cover: This book is limited to the internal reading of the children of the clan, and it is forbidden for others to see it, and violators will be severely punished.

On the cover of the book he put next to him read: "Public Finance", signed by Zhu Yunxi, also with that line of small characters.

……

……

"Put it all away, put it all away! The prince of Yong'an has an order, and now you are not allowed to do business with the Fusang people without permission, and those who violate it will be severely punished. You, you, you, if you don't put it away, we're going to take it away. And you ,......."

More than a dozen soldiers of the Yokohama Sennosho went to the bazaar with sticks in their hands to drive away the merchants.

"You, what about you, why don't you put your things away quickly!" A soldier saw that one of the families was very slow to collect things, went up to say a few words, and pushed a middle-aged man.

A young man glared at him angrily, and the soldier saw it and sneered, "Yo, it's quite crazy." He then kicked a porcelain vase, and said, "Crazy, you are paralyzed, crazy, if you don't take it anymore, you will kick your goods badly!" ”

The middle-aged man who was pushed just now hurriedly turned around and said with a smile: "The child is not sensible, and the military master forgives the sin." He took out another stack of money and handed it to him.

The soldier looked around and didn't dare to take the money, but his expression was still greatly soothed, and he said, "It's still the old people who understand things. But this cargo also has to be collected quickly. ”

He glanced at the middle-aged man a few more times and said, "I don't think you are a businessman, although your skin is very dark, your expression is not like that, but you look like a scholar." ”

"Master Jun, I'm just a child who can't study, and when I'm not young, I can only come out to do business and subsidize my family. We will receive these goods immediately. He said as he urged the others to collect quickly. After a while, it was finished and returned to the shore. Before leaving, he looked back and saw that both the Huaxia and Fusang people in this bazaar had been driven away, and many of the slower people had been beaten.

When he returned to the tent he had set up on the shore, the young man just now said fiercely: "Dad, these Zhu family's dogs are really not things. ”

"Silence!" The middle-aged man said to him sternly.

When the young man shut up, he said, "It seems that if you want to do business with the Fusang people, you can't sell it like this, you can only find someone with power here to sell it as a whole." In that case, they will definitely reduce the price, but the goods we ship here are all in demand, even if you press a few dollars, you can make a lot of money. We came with the sailors of the imperial court, and we did not encounter storms or pirates along the way, and we made no losses at all. The question is how to contact the people who have power here. On weekdays, the merchants who come to Fuso can only go to Nagasaki to do business, and no one has ever been to the Kanto region. ”

"Dad, since it's so difficult to do, let's go to Nagasaki to sell it, and do business peacefully." The young man said.

"This is not good, there are people in our family who have never been in business before, and they will be bullied wherever they go without a way, and only a new place like Yokohama can not be bullied." The middle-aged man said.

"But this new place is also very risky." The young man said.

"It's not a big risk, how can we make money? In the past two days, half of the goods have been sold, and the money earned has been several times the capital; If we go to Nagasaki, we don't have to worry about it, we can't sell the goods in the warehouse, we can only sell them to the market tyrant at a low price, and we can't make a few dollars at all. If you want to run the relationship, there are not a few years that you can't get down, what is the current situation of our family, where is there a few years? The middle-aged man said.

Hearing this, the young man lowered his head. What is the situation in their family! Their family name is Yan, and they are Yan Zhenzhi's clansmen. At the end of the first year of Jianye, Yan Zhenzhi was imprisoned in the name of rebellion, and his immediate family members were exiled to the northwest.

Immediately afterwards, they were expelled from the family by the clansmen who were still able to participate in the scientific expedition, and their lives were difficult, and the old man in his fifties who had studied all his life committed suicide in order to save food. The capital of the transaction was borrowed from the people who had received Yan Zhenzhi's favor back then. The interest is not high, three dollars in half a year (30%), but in addition to making risky transactions, why can you earn three dollars in half a year?

Seeing that his son bowed his head and was silent, a middle-aged man named Yan Xiu Wen Yan said: "Go and arrange the storage of goods, the ground by the sea is always very humid, and many things must be carefully kept, you go and see if you don't let the guys be lazy." Find a way to sell the rest of the goods and leave it to my father. ”

A young man named Yan Tingjing bowed his head and left the tent.

Seeing him leave, Yan Xiu stood up and walked towards the other family's tent. Those who used to do business in Nagasaki may have some way.
