Chapter 20 Analysis

Xue Yiming put down the wine glass, thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "Owner, are you too careful?" ”

Xiao Xiangui snorted, took a sip of sake, and said dissatisfiedly: "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!" ”

Xue Yiming thought about it, nodded and said, "That's the same!" ”

"Then tomorrow we will sail to Hirado. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Xiao Xiangui nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "You said that you will sail and escape tomorrow, will this Satsuma clan stop our ship?" ”

Hearing this, Li Tu, who was sitting at the bottom, finally couldn't help it.

Putting down the leg of mutton in his hand, Li Tu said loudly: "Lord, you are too timid. ”

Xiao Xiangui was suddenly choked by Li Tu, rolled his eyes and said, "Do you know that it's not the Japanese who are plotting against me?" Know if I'm timid? ”

Li Tu nodded and said loudly: "Of course I know, you are really timid. ”

Xiao Xiangui was dissatisfied, and asked loudly: "Are you scolding me?" ”

Li Tu ignored him, and only said in a smug manner: "The lord of the Satsuma domain is anxious to do business with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty and earn some silver, so he welcomes us so warmly. Where is it to swallow you in one bite. I really want to swallow you, but I don't welcome you, can you run away? ”

Xiao Xiangui was stunned by Li Tu's words, but he was speechless.

Li Tu shook his head, and said eloquently: "As soon as those Ming businessmen heard that you saw the port council, they didn't report the market to you, because the port council has always offered a high price, and they can't compete, so they simply don't quote and let you not know the market." ”

"In the bottom of my heart, they hope that you can't make a deal because you don't know the market and bargain with the Satsuma Clan. If you sailed away today, didn't you fall for these merchants? ”

Hearing Li Tu's words, Xiao Xiangui's eyes rolled and he argued unconvinced:

"You're new to the city, and you know it all? You haven't been to the sea, where do you have so much knowledge? ”

Li Tu swallowed the mutton in his mouth in one bite and said indifferently: "Of course I have these insights!" ”

Li Tu's insight is indeed beyond Xiao Xiangui's reach.

Xiao Xiangui's insight is based on hearsay in his childhood, coupled with the accumulation of maritime experience in the past two years. At the end of the day, I only scratch the surface of what this trade is about. As for the internal situation in Japan, whether the Satsuma Domain and the Hirado Domain were benevolent or not, he had a blind eye and could only guess.

Li Tu, on the other hand, has the knowledge of the era of the information explosion in later generations.

Although he is not a professional historical researcher, with the knowledge he obtained on the Internet, Li Tu also knows that this Satsuma domain is a famous and powerful feudal domain in Japan, and he has always worked hard. It was during the Warring States period that the Satsuma Domain almost occupied the entire island of Kyushu. Later, in the 19th century, the Satsuma Domain, together with the Choshu Domain, defeated the Tokugawa Shogunate and ushered in the Meiji Restoration in Japan.

How could such a feudal town make a hammer deal and throw away the big watermelon that has been traded for a long time for a sesame seed?

Looking at Xiao Xiangui, Li Tu said loudly: "This Satsuma clan will not give up the reputation of fair trade for a little silver. This feudal town has been here for hundreds of years, can you only be a foreign owner and you will not do business again? You've been cheated and won't come back next year, and it's not the Satsuma clan that suffers? ”

Hearing Li Tu's words, everyone was surprised.

Originally, everyone only thought that this Li Tu was a martial artist who could fight and who would think that this martial artist would have a different insight. Li Tu's words came out, and whether it was right or wrong, just this well-organized analysis impressed everyone present.

For a while, everyone looked at Li Tu, as if they wanted to see him more clearly.

In the middle of the ring, Xiao Xiangui said hesitantly: "What you said also has some truth. ”

Li Tu patted the table and said as if decided: "Then it's decided." Tomorrow morning, I went to the castle to find the commissioner, and sold him the goods. ”

When he encountered Chen Shengning's pirates off the coast of Zhangzhou before, Xiao Xiangui only felt that a great disaster was coming, and he just wanted to surrender and beg for mercy, but was refuted and stopped by Li Tu. In the end, he was not only saved, but also won a great victory. After that time, Xiao Xiangui faintly formed a kind of respect for Li Tu, and even didn't mind Li Tu and himself going against him.

Seeing that Li Tu made the decision without authorization, Xiao Xiangui thought for a while and said:

"So be it, I'll try it with that commissioner tomorrow."

#####

Early the next morning, Xiao Xiangui went to the castle tower and invited Naomitsu Miya-no-jo.

The Satsuma clan also operated industries in order to revitalize the feudal administration. They distributed the goods they bought from the Daming Maritime Merchants throughout Japan and made a lot of money.

Knowing that Xiao Xiangui was going to sell the goods directly to him, Naomitsu of the palace was overjoyed. He took his warriors with him and happily came to the port.

The sailors of the Zaixing began to move all kinds of goods off the ship, and asked the palace city to inspect the goods and make a price.

It was a fat samurai who inspected the goods for Miyajo Naomitsu, and he grabbed the white raw silk sample in his hand, rubbed it carefully, and said loudly: "Middle-grade white raw silk!" ”

The general officer translated his words to Xiao Xiangui.

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Xiangui, who was waiting nervously next to him, became a little flustered.

Afraid that the other party was trying to suppress his own goods, Xiao Xiangui walked to the samurai who inspected the goods with trepidation, and said with a smile: "This is the best Zhangzhou Baisheng silk, which is of the highest grade, why did it get hit?" ”

The general clerk translated Xiao Xiangui's words to the samurai. The warrior thought about it, rubbed the raw silk on his hand again, and said loudly:

"Middle-class white raw silk!"

Hearing this sentence again, Xiao Xiangui concluded that this fat warrior was trying to suppress his own price, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed. He wanted to snatch his raw silk from the fat samurai. But under the eaves, he didn't dare to act rashly, and in the end he could only pestle there straight, his face full of unhappiness.

Soon, though, the unhappiness on his face disappeared.

The fat samurai shouted in Japanese again, and the co-secretary translated:

"Middle-grade white raw silk, two hundred and fifty taels and one quintal!"

Hearing this, the depression in Xiao Xiangui's heart was immediately swept away.

You must know that even in Hirado last year, a load of Zhangzhou white raw silk was only sold for 240 taels. The merchant of Nahefangjin pressed the price to 170 taels and 1 quintal, but the Satsuma clan gave a high price of 250 taels.

Sure enough, just like Li Tu's analysis, the Satsuma clan gave the ideal price. It seems that the reputation of the Satsuma Domain's fair price is indeed true.

Xiao Xiangui turned around and glanced at Li Tu, his eyes full of joy.

But who is Xiao Xiangui? That's extremely shrewd.

Silent in front of the fat warrior, Xiao Xiangui pretended to hesitate and hesitated for a long time before he said slowly: "Can you be a little higher?" ”

Hearing the translation of the communicator, the fat warrior opened his ledger and looked at it, and said loudly: "At most, it can only be another five taels, two hundred and fifty-five taels and one quintal!" ”

Hearing the translator's words, Xiao Xiangui's heart was overjoyed, and he said with joy:

"Deal! 10,000 catties of Zhangzhou white silk and sold to the Satsuma Domain! ”
