Chapter 85: Takei Ichijo

"My lord, Mr. Takei Ichijo would like to see you." As soon as Gao Feng's words fell, Gu An came in to report.

"Come in, please." Gu Zheng stopped communicating with Gao Feng and said to Gu An.

That little Japan is here, and you can probe the wind. Gao Feng has always had doubts about Takei's arrival, even if he is doing business, he can't come to such a small remote place.

Although he had this idea, Gao Feng didn't dare to be abrupt, and after he and Li Qikun exchanged glances, he stood up and said goodbye to Gu Zheng: "If you want to meet the distinguished guests, we won't bother." ”

"No defense, Mr. Takei also mentioned the two of them after the banquet last night, and it was also his idea to meet the two, so let's go together." Gu Zheng waved his hand and said.

As he spoke, Takei had already arrived at the door.

"Mr. Takei, please come in." Gu Zheng beckoned.

"I've seen Master Gu, I've seen Li Yuanwai and Gao Gongzi." Takei is also in order, as soon as he sees the three people in the hall, he immediately salutes, and that kind of respectful attitude is like a little grandson.

The attitude towards Takei was sneering at Gaofeng, and the other party did it from the bottom of his heart, and it would not change his impression of Little Japan, and the main reason for this was the Japanese aggression against China in later generations.

He knew very well that although little Japan worshipped China as Lao Tzu during the Tang and Song dynasties, it was because of its weakness, and in this way, they only obtained benefits from China, and they never had to be obedient.

After the Ming Dynasty, little Japan became even more violent, and the Japanese began to prevail, and its main target was also China, until it was strong enough to invade in an all-out way, trying to swallow China in one bite, and the result was self-evident, almost choked to death, although so, after the recovery of little Japan, it still regarded China as its main target.

The story of the farmer and the snake has always played out between China and Japan. In the eyes of these Dongying people, China is a piece of fat, it is weak like a pug, wagging its tail and begging for mercy, but once it grows up, it becomes an ungrateful wolf, ready to catch and bite at any time.

Gao Feng looked at this matter from the perspective of later generations, but in the eyes of the Song people nowadays, Little Japan is still very backward, no different from the barbarians, and their arrival must have been due to the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if there are traces in his heart, Gao Feng will not be rude on the scene, and after he and Li Qikun returned the salute together, Gu Zheng arranged for everyone to sit down.

"Mr. Takei has been in Feng County for two days, and the business is a bit eyebrow-raising?" Gu Zheng asked first.

"There are adults to take care of, although they are outsiders, but they feel very cordial, especially the outstanding people of Fengxian County, Wuhua Tianbao, left a good impression on me, I came to see the adults this time is to tell the adults, I am optimistic about some business, want to stay a few more days." Takei Ichijo stood up again and said.

"The court did not set a time limit for Mr., so it is natural to stay for a few more days." Gu Zheng waved his hand and motioned for Takei to sit down.

"Thank you so much, sir." Takei still stood up and responded to Gu Zheng.

It turned out that the court arranged for him to come, I don't know what the court's intentions were? From Gu Zheng's words, Gao Feng realized that Takei Ichijo did not come on his own initiative, but was driven by the court.

"Mr. Takei is a samurai?" Gao Feng suddenly interjected and asked.

This question immediately attracted three surprised glances.

Li Qikun and Gu Zheng didn't know anything about Japan, and they just looked curious about what Gao Feng meant. Especially Gu Zheng, he received a letter from the court, only saying that he had arranged to take care of the merchants of Takei and his party, and did not mention anything else.

Not to mention that Gu Zheng can't understand Japan, even the court doesn't know much about Japan, after all, it can't send personnel across the sea, and most of the information that the court gets is brought by the envoys of Japan, and there is naturally a lot of water in it.

But Gao Feng knew that the Japanese state at this time should be a period when Taira and Genji held real power and the competition was relatively stalemate, and it was also a period of the rise of the Japanese samurai group, so he also wanted to know who Takei Ichijo represented.

Takei Ichijo's surprise also stemmed from this reason, of course, there were many people who knew about the samurai group in the Great Song Dynasty, and this kind of question was nothing, but what he couldn't believe was that this sentence came from the mouth of a young man, and it was from the mouth of a young man in such a remote rural county.

"It's exactly down there." Although surprised, Takei Ichichi still asked honestly.

"Then do you represent the Taira clan or the Genji clan?" Gao Feng asked again.

At this time, the samurai group was not as noble as the later generations, they were just an emerging force, and compared to the establishment faction, they could only be regarded as soldiers, and they were a samurai clan attached to the surrounding nobility.

The Taira and Genji were two of the most powerful new aristocrats in Japan, and they had irreconcilable contradictions with the old aristocracy led by the Fujiwara clan, and the samurai were mostly attached to the Taira or Genji families.

Hearing this question, Takei Ichichi's eyes were already shocked, and his expression became panicked.

"It's arranged by the head of the Yuan family." Takei replied stiffly.

As soon as he said this, it was already clear that the power he represented was that although the Great Song Dynasty would not participate in Japan's internal disputes, it would sometimes treat the envoys of different groups differently, and his expulsion to such a remote county town was an example.

Genji is still too weak in Japan, and although his strength is comparable to that of the Taira clan, he cannot compete with the Fujiwara clan at all, and his position is very embarrassing. At home, the Taira clan and the Fujiwara clan were squeezed out, and the foreign country could not open up the situation, and it could not be compared with the Taira clan, which had a close relationship with the Great Song Dynasty.

I see. After Gao Feng asked this, he knew it, so he kept his mouth shut.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Gu Zheng and Li Qikun were at a loss at all, let alone knowing what was inside, but they could see from Takei Ichi's performance that Gao Feng's problem had grasped the point. In this regard, they are even more impressed by Gao Feng, this son is very human!

Seeing that neither of them was talking, Gu Zheng naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to ask the key, but asked, "What are Mr. Takei's arrangements for the next few days?" ”

"I want to take some time to make a special trip to visit Li Yuanwai and Gao Gongzi, and there are a few other merchants to talk to, I don't know if the adults and the two can allow it." Takei replied by standing up again.

"What do you two think?" Gu Zheng asked Li Qikun and Gao Feng.

"Gao Gongzi and I have been together recently, and if Mr. Takei wants to come, there is no need to visit separately." Li Qikun replied.

How could he not know that the other party looking for himself must have something to do with candles and wine, and this matter also needs to be called by Gao Feng, and it is just right to make an appointment together, as for the matter of him looking for Gao Feng, it is a big deal to avoid it when the time comes.

"I listen to my eldest brother." Gao Feng replied.

"Very well, I want to visit you both tomorrow morning." Takei got up and answered.

"Okay, then I wish Mr. Takei all the best in business." Gu Zheng agreed.
