……

When Qi Jiguang came here to inform Oda Yoshinobu of the plan he discussed with Sun Hongshi, the prefect of Ningbo, Oda Yoshinobu nodded helplessly, "It's just like this, it's just to bother Lord Qi and Lord Sun." ”

"It's not troublesome~ Since Jiexia is a friend of Lord Yu, it is natural for the officials to help a little. It's just a pity that the lower officials are soft-spoken, and that's all they can help. Qi Jiguang said respectfully.

"Lord Qi is polite, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid there would be no other way for this envoy to go home now~" Oda Yoshinobu smiled and took the two bags on the table casually, "Here are a hundred taels of silver, respectively, Lord Qi and Lord Sun are invited to drink, I hope you don't shirk~"

"This ......" Qi Jiguang was stunned when he saw this, and he didn't know whether to take it or not for a while. Let's take it, if someone else finds out and joins him on the charge of colluding with foreign countries, then Qi Jiguang is so wronged that he can't be wronged anymore. And he didn't help Oda Yoshinobu do anything at all, and he really deserved to take it.

And not answering...... Well, there is no reason to push the money sent by others to the door, and the other party didn't ask him to do anything at all, just invited them to drink.

Hawkers, here I have to talk a little about the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and the system of officials in the Ming Dynasty was only determined by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang, his ancestors were poor peasants for eight generations, and when he was a child, he also let go of cattle for the landlord's family, and he also worked as a monk.

As a result, the emperor instituted a seemingly low-cost system. Of course, it can't be said that the low is outrageous, at least there is no big problem in living. And most importantly, Zhu Yuanzhang not only gave officials a low salary, but he was also very frugal.

The so-called leading by example is like this, the emperors are like this, what else can the officials say? It's just that then again, compared to other dynasties, the Ming Dynasty's Yulu is indeed a bit low.

For example, Qi Jiguang, from the governor of Yipin, knows that the monthly salary is only a mere 72 stones. Well...... What is this concept? In this era, the grain of the Ming Dynasty was about 156 catties per stone, and the market price was about half a tael of silver. And what about Japan at the same time? One stone of grain is 218 to 234 catties, about 83 yuan.

In terms of Yulu, Qi Jiguang's annual salary is only more than 800 stones, while under the command of Oda Yoshinobu, a general of Ashigaru has 500 stones.

Of course, it is difficult to compare prices in different countries, especially in a country like Japan, which is in troubled times. But this kind of comparison can still explain some problems. That is, most of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, if they only eat money, are very poor.

100 taels of silver, compared to Qi Jiguang, is almost up to his three-month salary. And you must know that Qi Jiguang was also a very good at spending money. Why did he join the army so many years later than Yu Dayou, but he climbed to the same position as him so quickly? Naturally, it's because Yu Dayou knows how to be a man.

Seeing Qi Jiguang's somewhat embarrassed look, Oda Yoshinobu said with a smile, "Take it, it's just a little drinking money, you don't have to show this expression." After all, I didn't ask you to help with anything, so you just think I have too much money, and I want to help you~" As he spoke, he directly stuffed the money bag to Qi Jiguang.

“…… Your words, your words really make the lower officials not know whether to cry or laugh......" Qi Jiguang looked at Oda Yoshinobu and said helplessly.

"Haha, if you go out crying, others will misunderstand the relationship between us~" Oda Yoshinobu laughed.

...... "Okay, Qi Jiguang and Hu Shouren beside him really seem to be smiling Oda Yoshinobu at this moment."

"Under the festival, then the lower official will leave first. If there's anything you want, just tell Shouren directly. Qi Jiguang said respectfully.

"Hehe, then thank you Qi first~" Oda Yoshinobu smiled.

After Qi Jiguang left, Hu Shouren said respectfully, "Lord Messenger, the City Ship Division is still cleaning at this time, if the Lord Envoy has nothing to do, I will go to the cabin next door and wait for the summons." ”

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu smiled, "There are really some things that want to trouble Master Hu~"

"Your Excellency, please speak, in addition, you can directly call Shouren in Xia, you are only the adjutant of Lord Qi in Xia, and you can't afford to be called an adult." Hu Shouren said with a serious expression.

"Okay~" Oda Yoshinobu smiled indifferently, "Actually, my affairs are not difficult, but when the fleet was in South Australia, there was not much supply, so I needed to buy some food or something." ”

Speaking of this, seeing Hu Shouren's expression became a little embarrassed, he smiled again, "Of course, I know that your country is a little prejudiced against your own country, so I will ask someone to write a list, and I will bother Lord Hu to bring someone to purchase." ”

"In this case, there is no problem!" Hu Shouren hurriedly said when he heard this. Subsequently, Oda Yoshinobu asked Dazhu Tsuru to write a list and give it to Hu Shouren.

"This ...... The Emissary still needs a weapon? Hu Shouren looked at Oda Yoshinobu strangely and asked. Those envoys who came to the Ming Kingdom in the past were not without peeping at the advanced weapons of the Ming Kingdom, but they were basically carried out secretly. But what about Yoshinobu Oda? He even asked Hu Shouren to help buy it?

"Haha~ I don't think these are high-end goods, right? If you feel embarrassed, you can ask the blacksmith to help you get some. Oda Yoshinobu laughed.

Hearing this, Hu Shouren took a closer look at the list again, indeed, there were no weapons prohibited by the Ming Kingdom on it, nothing more than some spears, arrows and the like, and the only thing that was difficult to get was gunpowder. However, for Hu Shouren, he is not out of the question.

While he was thinking, he suddenly had a money bag in his hand, and when he looked up in surprise, he saw Oda Yoshinobu's smiling face, "This money should be regarded as an errand fee for Shouren, but it's not a bribe~"

"......" Hu Shouren looked at Oda Yoshinobu speechlessly, although he didn't open it to see, but just with the size and weight of this money bag, he felt that it was not much worse than the wine money that Oda Yoshinobu gave to Qi Jiguang and Sun Hongshi before.

"Is the envoy of Japan so rich?" Hu Shouren shook his head and walked out, although he saw the gold and silver in the ship, but in his opinion, it was just a tribute to the imperial court and money used for trading, but it was not regarded as Oda Yoshinobu's own money.

On the other side, after Qi Jiguang left the port, he went to Sun Hongshi's mansion again.

"This ......" Sun Hongshi looked at the money bag handed over by Qi Jiguang dumbfounded, and he was already a little confused.

"Lord Qi, didn't you say that it is our duty to write a letter to inform the patrol?" Sun Hongshi asked in shock.

"I said it, but the Japanese envoy just said that we should take the money to drink, and he didn't ask us for anything else...... Qi Jiguang finished speaking, and added, "He forced it to me......"

“…… Hard-stuffed to you, you're going to want it?! Sun Hongshi thought helplessly in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, he still accepted the money bag. After all, everyone said that they were just giving themselves money for drinking, and ...... Even if it does, wouldn't it be nice for them to pretend that they didn't have it? Could there still be someone to speak for the Japanese envoy? 、

It's just that when the two were discussing where to drink at night, the next person came to report to Hu Shouren and asked to see him.

"Didn't I ask him to spy on the Japanese envoy? Why did you come here by yourself? Qi Jiguang was a little annoyed. Although there is Yu Dayou's recommendation, how can Yu Dayou's ambiguous letter make Qi Jiguang feel at ease?

It's just that after Hu Shouren came in, without waiting for Qi Jiguang to speak, Hu Shouren had already preemptively said Oda Yoshinobu's request, and took out the hundred taels of silver by the way.

"He gave you so much silver just for such a thing?" Qi Jiguang asked in disbelief. Although Oda Yoshinobu has weapons in his purchase list, in addition to gunpowder, other weapons are also sold on the market, so Qi Jiguang really has some difficulty understanding what Oda Yoshinobu means.

"Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief!" Sun Hongshi said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Qi Jiguang said strangely, "But as long as I am careful, no matter how attentive he is, he won't get anything." And most importantly, even if he gives us more money, we can't speak! ”

Hearing Qi Jiguang's words, Sun Hongshi was silent. Oda Yoshinobu's request was explained early on, and he brought such a large shipload of goods, so he couldn't fake it. But when it comes to opening the market for trade, as Qi Jiguang said, they can't be the master at all, and they can't speak, even if Pang Shangpeng comes in person, all they can do is help report to the court.

After pondering for a long time, Qi Jiguang said in a deep voice, "No matter what, let's be careful." Shouren! You should be responsible for these lists, and send them to the Japanese envoy as soon as possible. In addition, if he has any strange requests in the next two days, you must report them to me immediately! ”

"Yes!"

Well, Qi Jiguang is obviously the right choice to do this, if the other party really has a plan...... It's a pity that Yoshinobu Oda didn't have that many ideas at all. So the only result of Qi Jiguang doing this was to get himself into a big trouble.

At night, Hu Shouren knocked on the door of Qi Jiguang's mansion with a helpless face.

"What?! Then the envoy of Japan wants to visit the green house?! ”
