A large Ming merchant ship full of goods shuttled back and forth in the port of Nagasaki, and Zhu Di's ban on trade with the island country was like a fictitious one. Fei Xin, who was standing behind Tang Ming www.biquge.info, was also at a loss, and asked in a stammered voice: "Master Hou, why are there so many Ming merchant ships, didn't the emperor order to prohibit Daming maritime merchants from trading with this island country?" But at this moment, I feel as if I have returned to the port of Daming instead of Nagasaki in the island country. ”

In fact, this is the consequence of the rampant smuggling, and this phenomenon is not easy to do even if Zhu Di wants to suppress it. If he hadn't sent Zheng He's huge fleet on a long voyage, he might be able to sweep away all the pirates in the waters near the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time play a good role in protecting them, and at the same time they could also form an effective blow to the rampant smuggling.

But this is too troublesome for Zhu Di, there is almost no oil and water, the effort is much greater than the income, and even if the thankless thing is good for the country itself for a while, he is not willing to do it. Zhu Di can ignore the things, Tang Ming naturally doesn't need to worry about it, shook his head at Fei Xin, spread his hands and said: "Interests, as long as there are enough benefits to be made, what is the use of a virtual ban!" ”

The arrival of the Daming treasure ship instantly ignited the entire Nagasaki port, especially those Daming maritime merchants, who watched Tang Ming's treasure ship dock with a cautious face. When they saw that the patriarchs of the Watanabe family on the shore were actually dispatched, they couldn't help but wonder who was coming from this treasure ship?

Watanabe Village was accompanied by a short old man, and from the respectful look on her face, Tang Ming could not easily guess that the short old man should be the patriarch of the Watanabe family.

The old man should be about sixty years old, his face was full of red light, and he was wearing a wide samurai costume on his body, Tang Ming felt funny no matter how he looked at it. On the face of it, it is hard to imagine that the first family of the island nation is led by such a short old man.

When Watanabe Village saw Tang Ming get off the boat, he immediately leaned into his father's ear and whispered for a while, the Watanabe patriarch nodded slightly, with a bright smile on his face, and took a few steps forward to greet Tang Ming, who was walking towards him, and said with a hypocritical smile: "Weihai Hou has traveled thousands of miles to enjoy his face and come to my Watanabe family as a guest, it is really the honor of my Watanabe family!" Old man, I am the patriarch of the Watanabe family, Watanabe Changsheng, and I am here to wait for the arrival of Weihai, and I hope to include a lot of inconsiderate places! ”

The old man behaved very sincerely, and when he arrived in front of Tang Ming, he gave him a ninety-degree bow, and the thoughtfulness of the courtesy was really rare. If Tang Ming hadn't inadvertently seen the sharp gaze in the old man's eyes, he might have been fooled by the old man's performance.

Tang Ming secretly scolded the old man for being hypocritical in his heart, but he said politely with a deeper smile on his face: "I have heard for a long time that the Watanabe family has strong financial resources and has been the number one family in the island country for a long time. The patriarch is even more eloquent and has roughly run the Watanabe family prosperously, admire and admire! ”

The two of them hypocritically praised each other, and then under the guidance of Watanabe Changsheng, Tang Ming followed the patriarch to sit in the eight-carried sedan chair that had been waiting on the side. The large sedan chair was not only bright, but also a small wooden table with two plates of snacks, a pot of sake and two small wine glasses.

Watanabe Nagao waited until the sedan chair began to move around, picked up the flask and filled it with two glasses of sake, and then did it as a respect. Tang Ming also picked up the wine glass and drank it all, Watanabe Changsheng hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "It only took six days for Master Hou to come to the island country, so quickly and without telling you, it was indeed unexpected by the old man." Presumably, the fleet of the Cao Mustard family has been buried in the sea and was wiped out by the Hou Ye, which is really gratifying! ”

Tang Ming's eyes showed a little murderous aura without any disguise, and the corners of his mouth hooked a meaningful smile, but then he said seemingly casually: "Since the patriarch has already guessed the result, he must have a clear idea of Tang's proposal in his heart at this moment, and Tang is willing to listen to it." ”

Watanabe Changsheng was deeply shocked by Tang Ming's eyes that seemed to be accidentally revealed at that moment, which was enough to pierce the golden stone. Immediately put away his contempt for Tang Ming, and said seriously: "Well, Master Hou's proposal is very happy for me." But this is a big matter in the family, and it always needs to be discussed. Time is a bit tight, so please stay for two more days, I don't know if it's okay? ”

Tang Ming didn't have much patience with the Watanabe family when he came this time, and with or without the support of the Watanabe family, he could solve the remnants of the grass mustard family as quickly as possible. So there is no need for any help from the Watanabe family, and the reason why I want to give the Watanabe family a chance to cooperate is nothing more than to look at the iron ore of the island country.

With a cold snort, Tang Ming took down a glass of sake with a smile, narrowed his eyes slightly, and simply stopped talking. No matter what reply the Watanabe family gave him this time, he would not take it to heart. At this moment, Tang Ming is like a huge lion, and the Watanabe family in the island country is like a small ant, will a lion be interested in the attitude of an ant? The answer is self-explanatory!

The sedan chair was smoothly carried into the shogunate of the Watanabe family, and the sumptuous banquet had already been prepared, and Watanabe Changsheng introduced Tang Ming to the elders present, and after introducing the elders to Tang Ming, he began to enter the banquet. Tang Ming was very reserved from beginning to end, in fact, he was too lazy to deal with these people.

When the banquet finally ended, Tang Ming took away a little impatience and said: "Patriarch Watanabe, this meal has been eaten, Tang has other things to do, and he can't stay in our country for a long time this time, so you have to discuss things quickly." I won't bother here, and I'll listen to your opinions when I'm done with what I need to do. ”

Watanabe Changsheng smiled and nodded: "If Master Hou wants to trouble the Grass Mustard family now, the Watanabe family can unconditionally send someone to lead the way for Hou Ye to ensure that Hou Ye will not miss any member of the Grass Mustard family!" ”

The other elders of the Watanabe family also nodded again and again, Tang Ming wanted to completely clean up their rivals, and they were happy to do Tang Ming a little favor for free.

Tang Ming undeniably accepted the kindness of the Watanabe patriarch, after all, he was not familiar with the island country, and someone to guide him could save him a lot of trouble. In an atmosphere of great joy for all, under the farewell of every member of the Watanabe family from top to bottom, Tang Ming said goodbye and left, and the person who was sent to guide Tang Ming was Watanabe Village. No matter what Watanabe Changsheng meant, Tang Ming took the people and left! (To be continued.) )
