Chapter 128: The Tokugawa family's son-in-law
“…… What did you say? ”
Regarding what Xiuguang just said, Li Dan didn't seem to react for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"I say, the lord above us is the son-in-law of Tokugawa-sama!"
Xiuguang repeated what he had just said.
“……”
"I'm not lying! Lord Li Dan! I'm telling the truth! ”
Xiuguang puffed up his chest and made a child's appearance of telling the truth.
But Xiuguang really didn't lie.
Because, the head of the Toyotomi family, Hideyori, is indeed the son-in-law of "Tokugawa-sama".
As for whether this Tokugawa-sama is Ieyasu or Hidetada, it doesn't matter so much. Anyway, it's all the same "Tokugawa-sama".
So there's nothing wrong with that.
Xiuzong, who didn't expect his few unintentional words to be so useful, opened his mouth in surprise, and then talked about it with the Xiujia next to him.
“…… Lady Xiujia...... I didn't expect it to be like this! …… Uh-huh, it's really worthy of my Xiuzong, just a word can save the situation~"
"yes...... I didn't expect it to be used like this...... Your Excellency is truly the child of the late His Royal Highness Taiko......"
"Since His Highness dares to play this kind of brand indiscriminately...... That means it's possible to enlarge the card...... For example, ask the sweeper to take out the paperwork and so on...... And then a showdown of interest cards and the like......"
When the two were whispering, Li Dan seemed to finally react to what Xiuguang was talking about, and began to look around at Xiuguang.
“…… Well...... You're not lying, kid. Indeed, he is the son-in-law of Tokugawa-sama. ”
He looked at Xiuguang with a smirk, as if trying to see what the kid meant to him.
"Lord Li Dan, don't you have any worries now? Isn't that enough to agree to this big deal? ”
“……”
Faced with Xiuguang's words, Li Dan suddenly fell silent, and then returned to his chair and squinted his eyes and half-lay down, crossed his arms, shaking the chair, not knowing what he was thinking.
Since Li Dan's concern is the name of the Toyotomi family and the surveillance of the Tokugawa family, then it is enough to change the name. Under this name, even if the smuggling trade is discovered, those officials will not dare to make too many moves during the inventory.
Although the name has been changed, the content inside remains the same. With the name of "son-in-law of the Tokugawa family", dare to ask which official dares to be overly suspicious and offended? Moreover, it is reasonable for the current Toyotomi family to use the name "son-in-law of the Tokugawa family".
Moreover, the forces that can now use the name "son-in-law of the Tokugawa family" are not forces that ordinary officials can afford to provoke.
In addition, the distribution of the name "son-in-law of the Tokugawa family" is very widespread. Ieyasu and Hidetada's large number of daughters and adopted daughters married husbands can all be called this way.
To be reasonable, a large number of daimyos, such as Nobumasa Okuhira, Terumasa Ikeda, Nagamasa Kuroda, Sukatsujin Kusuka, Kiyomasa Kato, Masanori Fukushima, Toyoshi Arima, and Toshitsune Maeda, can call themselves "sons-in-law of the Tokugawa family". It's not an exaggeration to use this name a little bit at this time, right?
Since Li Dan is worried about these things, then we will use another name to help you get through. And it's also reasonable.
The above are Xiuguang's considerations.
Li Dan must have thought this through just now, so he entered into a short period of contemplation.
The likelihood of a successful negotiation is greatly increased. Xiuguang thought to himself.
"Well, Lord Li Dan. As Yoshibei said, the adults above us are indeed 'sons-in-law of the Tokugawa family'. With this powerful name to support the field, presumably this big business will be much smoother? By the way, Lord Li Dan, Ji Bingwei is referring to the child who just spoke. ”
After Xiuguang spoke, Jeon Deng also continued to persuade.
Then, before Li Dan could speak, Quan Deng took out a certain document that he had used in the Shenya from his clothes and handed it to Li Dan's desk.
"Also, this is a trade document written by His Royal Highness Prince Tomohito Hachijo Miya. Please read it, Lord Li Dan. ”
“…… What the?! Hachijonomiya ...... Could it be that he is the younger brother of the emperor today? ”
"Yes. His Royal Highness Zhiren is the brother of His Majesty Zhou Ren. ”
Presumably, Li Dan didn't expect that Xiuguang and his party would have documents written by the prince of the imperial court in their hands. And this prince is also the younger brother of the current emperor. With a look of surprise on his face that could not be concealed, he took the paper and began to read it carefully.
After reading the documents and confirming the authenticity of the flowers one by one, Li Dan let out a sigh and returned the documents to Quan Deng.
"Lord Li Dan, how have you thought about it?"
Jeon Deng put the paperwork back in his clothes and continued to ask.
“……”
Li Dan put the pipe back into the drawer of the table, held up his chin, and after thinking about half a salary, he slowly spit out a sentence:
“…… As you said before, how much benefit I can get, please repeat it again. ”
He was clearly tempted.
Xiuguang immediately poked Jeonden with his elbow and motioned for him to repeat it.
"Hmm. Let's start with the beginning. First, you can get trade channels from the region. Second, you can get tariff relief. Third, there are the benefits that can be gained from trade. ”
After Quan Deng finished speaking, he added:
"Note that we can guarantee that the benefits of this trade are three times as much as you would normally get."
“……!!”
Profit is always the thing that attracts businessmen the most. Under the lure of huge profits, there will be countless businessmen who will take risks for it.
And Li Dan is no exception. After all, he is a businessman, and his interests are constantly attracting him to take risks.
"Triple ......"
When he muttered this measure word in his mouth, Li Dan couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth and show a smile attracted by interests.
"How? Lord Li Dan? That's our leverage. So what are your options? ”
The chips have been thrown, just waiting for the big fish to take the bait.
"Interesting, interesting."
Li Dan got up from the chair with a smile and walked in front of Quan Deng.
"Well, then, Lord Hoan, happy cooperation."
He held out his hand, and then changed his words as if he had thought of something:
"No, it should be Mr. Hoan, the agent of 'Tokugawa-sama's son-in-law', and it is a pleasure to cooperate."
Quan Deng naturally understood that shaking hands was the etiquette of Westerners, and he also knew the meaning of Li Dan's words. So he also stretched out his hand and shook it with Li Dan's hand.
"Since our lord is the 'son-in-law of the Tokugawa family', he will definitely be able to ensure that you will reap the maximum benefits. Both sides can get the maximum benefit, so the cooperation is pleasant, Lord Li Dan. ”
