Li Qi recuperated in Baifu for a day, and soon became full of energy again due to the long-term consumption of ginseng, abalone, Ganoderma lucidum and other precious tonics. This morning, he came to his western suburbs manor early and waited for the distinguished guests to come to the door.
Not long after he arrived, someone from outside came to report that Iga Momokawa and Fujiyoshi Miki from Japan were asking to see him.
So fast? Li Qi laughed a few times and ordered his subordinates to invite the two distinguished guests in.
After a while, I saw six or seven people including Fujiyoshi Miki and Iga Baichuan walking in.
"There are friends from afar, don't you say it!" Li Qi laughed, got up to greet him, and said: "I haven't seen you for many days, the two of you are really getting younger and younger, which can be called reverse growth, it's not a secret, I just thought it was the son of the two of them." â
In the face of Li Qi's "enthusiastic confession", Teng Ji and Iga were embarrassed, this year, they were busy with their hair gray, and they were clearly several years old, but Li Qi opened his eyes and said nonsense, which pot is not opened and which pot is not mentioned, I really don't know whether it is praise or depreciation.
Iga Baichuan bowed his head and said seriously: "The economy has won the prize." â
After all, Fujiyoshi Miki often comes to the Great Song Dynasty, and he is not a samurai, so he is not so particular, and with a wave of his hand, he saw a few subordinates carrying a few large wooden boxes and stepped forward, and said: "I heard that the recent economic envoy is happy to be a noble son, a small gift, not a respect." â
Your reason is so perfect, I don't save zĂ i and don't accept it. Li Qi said politely: "The two of you are so polite, I am very happy that you can come, why bring these vulgar things again, really, haha, I don't know what to say." â
Having said that, he immediately called his subordinates to take it over.
Li Qi was about to invite them to sit down, when he suddenly saw a warrior standing next to Tengji Miki, with an inverted figure-eight eyebrows, a fat head and big ears, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a powerful warrior. About thirty years old, if this is an entourage, it is impossible to be on a par with Tengji Miki, and he asked curiously: "Who is this?" â
Tengji Miki hurriedly said: "I almost forgot, this is a samurai of our Japanese Ping family, Taira Takero." â
Ping Wulang immediately bowed his head and said, "Ping Wulang has seen the economic envoy. Although his Chinese is a little awkward, it is not so difficult to understand it as a while.
Today's Japan is still in a relatively low position for the Great Song Dynasty. It doesn't matter how big an official you are in your home country, when you come to the Great Song Dynasty to meet the Great Song officials, then you have to salute first.
Although this person is not very good-looking, he is quite polite, not bad, not bad. Li Qi said, "Good-oh-oh." It turned out to be a Taira samurai, long admiration, long admiration. â
This Ping Wulang didn't seem to have much contact with the Great Song people, and he didn't understand what polite words were, so he asked extremely seriously: "The economy makes the adults know that we are Ping warriors?" â
You're kidding me, aren't you? That's what I just recognize. Li Qi's face froze, but he quickly reacted and said, "Of course I know." I have always admired your samurai spirit, and the most famous samurai in Fuso is none other than your Taira samurai. â
But anyone who is familiar with Li Qi knows that this kind of words come out of his mouth. Just ignore it directly, but Heiburo doesn't understand the market, because Japan is still controlled by the aristocracy, the samurai have always been inferior, and I never thought that when I came to this foreign country, I could still meet people in the same way, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed. Excited, he said, "Yes." The economy makes the adults right. Also, my name is Hei Wu Lang, and I don't dare to pretend to be big, so the economic envoy can just call me Wu Lang. â
"Really?"
Li Qi smiled. "Maybe I heard it wrong." Wu Dalang - Oh no, three of you, please take a seat, please take a seat. â
Li Qi suddenly saw that Ping Wulang was still sitting in front of Iga Baichuan, he couldn't help but be stunned, and had a new evaluation of Ping Wulang in his heart, and immediately ordered someone to pour tea, and asked with a smile: "By the way, Mr. Iga, I don't know if you are satisfied with our Great Song weapons?" â
Iga Baichuan gave a thumbs up and said, "Satisfied, really satisfied." Your country's weapons are truly second to none, and they are worthy of their reputation, especially those bows and crossbows, which are truly ingenious. â
"It seems that Iga's Chinese has improved a lot!" Li Qi laughed and said: "It's good that you are satisfied, I can't hide it, at that time, our Great Song Dynasty was also the first time to do this business, it is inevitable that I am a little apprehensive, there must be something lacking, I know that Mr. Iga is a kind word." â
Speaking of this, he changed his words and said: "However, now that we have been preparing for a year, this set of processes for the sale of weapons has become perfect, and in addition, we have developed some new weapons, and I believe that a few of them will be interested." â
You didn't say a few kind words, and you got to business, which is really worthy of being an economic envoy! Miki Fujiyoshi and Iga glanced at each other, their faces embarrassed.
Fujiyoshi Miki sneered: "The economic envoy seems to think a little highly of our Japan, our Japanese population is sparse, and the military strength is not as good as your country's, the weapons we bought last year are enough, and there is no need to buy them again this year." â
Li Qi sighed, his face showed a little disappointment, and he thought, you have come all the way here and don't leave anything for us Da Song, that is really unreasonable, you don't want to buy it, I just want you to buy it. nodded and said: "I see, I thought that you were the same as Goryeo, and you were also coming to my shipyard in the Great Song Dynasty, and I dared to make a mistake in my judgment, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the business is not there, and the favor is there." â
"Goryeo? Shipyard? â
Fujiyoshi Miki was in his heart, and he was curious: "What does the economy mean by this?" Does Goryeo want to buy a ship from your country? â
"Don't you know?" Li Qi's face was a little hesitant, and said, "I don't know the specifics, but as far as I know, they do have this intention." â
The more ambiguous Li Qi said, the more suspicious Iga Baichuan became.
Fujiyoshi Miki said tentatively: "What the economic envoy said about the Fuzhou shipyard? â
"Exactly."
Li Qi nodded with a smile, and suddenly asked, "I wonder if the three of you know anything about my Great Song Dynasty's new law?" â
Fujiyoshi Miki hurriedly said: "Of course, of course. Every time your country changes the law, we are very concerned. â
There is no hypocrisy at all, their Japan is now using the currency of the Great Song Dynasty, can they not pay attention to every move of the Great Song Dynasty. However, the Great Song Dynasty rarely paid attention to Japan, and it was clear that he looked down on them.
Li Qi smiled: "Those three should also know that my Great Song Dynasty is preparing to strengthen maritime trade. â
Fujiyoshi Miki smiled and said, "Naturally, we know that Japan is also willing to cooperate more closely with your country, and our Japanese people are also looking forward to your caravan going to our country." â
"Really? You people of Fuso are really hospitable. Li Qi laughed a few times, and then said seriously: "In order to strengthen maritime trade, I built a shipyard in the Great Song Dynasty. Maritime trade, maritime trade, how to trade without ships, the three said no. â
Fujiyoshi Miki and the others nodded one after another.
Li Qi said: "Therefore, the root of maritime trade lies in the ship, a bigger and safer ship, is indispensable, if anyone drives a few flat boats across the ocean, not far away, come to our Great Song Dynasty to do business, no matter how much we want to do business with them, but with those few boats, it is impossible to arouse our interest, for this kind of people, I advise them to go home and farm, it is really a waste of life, it can be seen that the quality of this ship directly affects maritime trade." â
After a pause, he continued: "It's not me Li Qi bragging, as we all know, if the shipbuilding technology produced by my Great Song Dynasty is called second, no country dares to call it first. This shipyard was not so much built for our Great Song Dynasty as it was for other countries. Trade, trade, this thing can't be slapped in the face, there must be contacts, just like our Great Song Dynasty went to their Goryeo to do business, we went to more than a dozen building ships, but as soon as they came, there were a few inconspicuous boats, which was too unbalanced, and it was too unfair to them, and it was like that if it was strengthened. â
After these words, these three Fusang brothers couldn't help but be embarrassed, in fact, they were not, compared to the tall, handsome and high-grade ships of the Song Dynasty, their cargo ships were really unsightly.
Sample! It's not on the road yet, when you agree, I'll fool Goryeo with you again, haha, kill two birds with one stone! Li Qi glanced at them and said, "All in all, this ship is the first step for our Great Song Dynasty to take overseas. As you know, Goryeo has always had good trade relations with our Great Song Dynasty, so they are very interested in our Great Song ships, not only cargo ships, but they have also asked about war ships. â
Warship? Fujiyoshi Miki said: "What does trading have to do with warships?" â
Li Qi pointed at him and said with a smile: "You don't understand this." â
Fujiyoshi Miki said: "Please also ask the economic envoy for advice." â
Li Qi smiled: "I don't know if you have robbers in Fusang, anyway, I have them in the Great Song Dynasty, and they have been banned repeatedly, why, it's because the money obtained for nothing is too tempting, but there must be passers-by first, and then there are robbers, there is no doubt about it." On land, there are still officers and soldiers to deter, and those robbers don't dare to be too rampant, but what about at sea? I don't know if there are pirates on the sea now, maybe there are, but there are certainly not many, this is just because the maritime trade has not yet flourished, according to the goal of our new law of the Great Song Dynasty, in the next year, the maritime trade will definitely increase suddenly, then the number of merchants in the past will definitely increase, and a trip to the sea, the money is definitely much more than a trip on the road, such a big temptation, it will definitely cause people's greed, it can be expected, then the pirates will also increase, no matter what it is, safety is always the first, I think whether it is my Great Song Dynasty, or Goryeo, or you Fuso, you will find a way to protect the safety of the merchants. Fortunately, we in the Great Song Dynasty have long thought of this, so we are developing a lightweight warship to protect the interests of our own merchants. (To be continued)
