Although he was unhappy, Zheng Cai reluctantly led the fleet to retreat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBecause if there is a conflict, he is not sure of victory.

After going back, I must suggest to the chief soldier that I want to curb the rise of the Daishan Army, Zheng Cai said secretly in his heart.

After the Zheng fleet retreated, Shi Shiran of the Daishan fleet sailed into the port of Nagasaki. It immediately caused a sensation in Nagasaki.

The Zheng family's desire to embarrass Daishan had already spread throughout Nagasaki, and all the maritime merchants from the Ming Dynasty knew the news that the Zheng family's fleet was going to intercept the Daishan merchant ships.

Now the safe entry of Daishan sea ships into the port shows that even the Zheng family has nothing to do with Daishan.

Could it be that Daishan has grown to such an extent? All the maritime merchants secretly thought in their hearts, and recalled the incident of Siqi fighting the Dutch a year ago.

The rise of Daishan will inevitably break the situation of the Zheng family's dominance on the sea, and the sea will inevitably be turbulent. This reminds many people of the chaos at sea twenty years ago.

There are talented people in the country, will Ren Siqi be the next Zheng Zhilong?

But today's Zheng family is in full swing, and Zheng Zhilong has just been named the general soldier of Nan Anbo Fujian by Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty. It is not so easy for Ren Siqi to shake the status of the Zheng family, although Daishan's fleet is powerful, it is like the difference between children and adults compared to the Zheng family.

The Zheng family's dominance on the sea has long caused the dissatisfaction of many maritime merchants, and the 3,000 taels of navigation silver per ship are even more disgusting to everyone.

Most of the maritime merchants were silently watching the development of the situation, and no one dared to show favor to Daishan easily.

The Japanese merchants were the happiest to enter the port of the Daishan fleet, and because of the Zheng family's price hikes, the price of raw silk has now doubled that of last year, and the prices of other goods have also risen by 50 percent.

And with the arrival of 30 Daishan merchant ships, prices will soon fall.

Not long after Mao 18 and Song Liben led the team into Hong Kong, many Japanese businessmen came to visit, and Song Liben sent people away, and he was unwilling to easily contact people before he understood the situation.

However, there were two groups of people that he could not dismiss, one was the representative of Li Guozhu in Nagasaki, and the other was the envoy of the Matsuura family, the daimyo of Nagasaki.

These two are Ren Siqi's main allies in Japan, and before leaving Daishan, Siqi specially explained to Song Liben, Song Liben naturally did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered them to lead them on the ship.

The envoys of these two families came to visit Ren Siqi, and they were very disappointed to see that Ren Siqi was not on the ship, but after hearing Song Liben say that Ren Siqi is now a guerrilla general of Zhejiang coastal defense, they all expressed their understanding.

After greetings, sending a greeting gift and inviting the head of the fleet to pay a return visit, the two groups of envoys left separately.

Matsuura Family Castle.

After learning that Ren Siqi did not come with the ship, Matsuura Lingzi stroked his bulging belly and sobbed sadly.

"Father, did you say that Si Qijun forgot Ling Zi?" Reiko Matsuura sobbed at her father, Matsuura Dong.

"No," Matsuura comforted his daughter softly, "With such a large fleet, Ren Siqi was relieved to hand over to his subordinates, which shows that he must have been stumped by something more important." ”

"The head of the family is right, according to Song Liben, the head of trade sent by Si Qi Jun, the Ming Dynasty is now in turmoil, and Si Qi Jun is recruiting troops to deal with the invasion of the Manchus, so he can't come in person." Ichiro Aoki, the messenger sent to the ship, also comforted Reiko Matsuura.

Seeing that his father and Ichiro Aoki both said this, Matsuura Lingzi's heart relaxed, as long as it wasn't Siqijun who forgot about himself.

"What the hell is going on?" Seeing his daughter leave the hall, Matsuura Dong looked at Ichiro Aoki.

According to Song Liben, there have been a lot of major events on Daishan Island where Ren Siqi is located during this time, he just fought with the gentry in Zhejiang not long ago, robbed them of many sea ships, and now most of the goods in their fleet are snatched from the hands of maritime merchants. And in order to enhance his strength, Ren Siqi did go to Shandong to recruit troops. ”

"It turns out that the rumors are true, and most of the sea ships in Zhejiang have been robbed by Ren Siqi. Ren Siqi was so decisive in his killing, but I was impressed. Matsuura Dong sighed in admiration.

"What the feudal lord said is that there are a total of thirty cargo ships in the fleet of Nadai Mountain, and there are all kinds of goods on it, so we don't have to worry about the supply of goods now!" Ichiro Aoki said with a smile.

Some time ago, due to the Zheng family's price increase, the price of goods this year was much higher than last year, and the Zheng family also released rumors that there was a war in Zhejiang, and many ships could not come to Japan, causing many Japanese businessmen to rush to buy, resulting in a further rise in the price of goods.

However, some big Japanese businessmen such as the Matsuura family calmed down and did not take action easily. However, after waiting for more than 20 days, Zhejiang's sea ships had not yet arrived, so that some Japanese merchants could no longer bear their patience and began to buy goods from the Zheng family at high prices.

And Matsuura and Li Guozhu are the few Japanese merchants who have persevered until now.

Li Guozhu was reluctant to bow to the Zheng family because of the conflict with the Zheng family, and Matsuura Dong was because he believed that Ren Siqi would not come to Japan, so he waited.

Of course, due to the shortage of goods, there are still many Japanese merchants who cannot buy the goods.

The arrival of the Daishan fleet, like a sweet spring falling into a thirsty desert, was immediately welcomed by Japanese merchants, who sent people aboard the ships to snap up the goods from the Ming Dynasty.

Song Liben was patient, first made people inquire about the current market in Japan, and then secretly traded with various merchants and sold batches of goods.

Due to the current market there, the price of goods has not dropped much, because due to the war between Ren Siqi and the Zhejiang gentry, there are still fewer ships from Zhejiang than in previous years, resulting in the overall supply of goods less than in previous years.

At the same time as selling the goods, Song Liben also kept a large quantity of raw silk and other goods, and sold them to Li Guozhu and the Matsuura family at a price one percent lower than the market price. Because these two are Daishan's biggest allies in Japan, without their help, Qiyun Commercial Bank would not have been able to defeat the Dutch a year ago, and there would be no Daishan Army now.

But even if it is 10% lower than the market price, the price of raw silk per load has reached 350 taels of silver.

"Three thousand eight hundred quintals of raw silk, more than one million three hundred taels of silver! With the addition of other goods, we can buy at least three million taels of silver on this trip to Japan! ”

Looking at the data in the account book, Song Liben shouted excitedly to Mao Shiba.

"Shh Mao 18 motioned to Song Liben to be quieter, and said in a deep voice: "This silver is the key to whether our Daishan can really rise, and there must not be a little mistake." ”

"Hmm!" Song Liben nodded vigorously, picked up the abacus again, and began to calculate again.

ps: The National Day has passed, and I am very uncomfortable, and I only coded a chapter in one afternoon. I suddenly found out that I didn't have full attendance this month, which made my mood worse all of a sudden. The monthly remuneration for full attendance is only more than 100, which makes people feel stuffed when they think about it, and they can't mention the hard code word.
