"Since His Highness has said so, the villain and others will naturally obey."

After Yaris reacted, he hurriedly responded to this request.

Isn't it just not going to help Zheng Zhilong, it's not a big deal.

Anyway, they got Zhao Hongyu's warrant, and after solving the matter here in the Japanese Kingdom, they will immediately set off to return to Europe.

In the future, the focus will be on Europe, the Americas, and Africa.

After all, it takes a lot of time to get back to Europe from the East, and the warrant is only valid for one year.

How much profit you can make in this year depends on yourself.

Yaris thinks very clearly.

Since he won't mix with the East here in the future, then of course he doesn't care about Zheng Zhilong.

Compared to the benefits that the Song Empire can bring to himself, Zheng Zhilong's little benefit is simply too small.

In a very short period of time, Yaris weighed the gains and losses.

"Of course, if you can help Li Xiang fight Zheng Zhilong, then I can't thank you enough. You don't have to deal with the people here, I only have such a small request. ”

Helping Li Xiang to fight Zheng Zhilong is not a big deal.

Although Zheng Zhilong is said to be a great pirate in the East, they can't compete with them with their own strength in Portugal, but with Li Xiang, it's different.

"No problem at all, Your Highness."

Yaris agreed very happily.

"But we need to have an introducer, after all, we only fought with Li Xiang some time ago, so we are worried that Li Xiang will not believe us."

At the same time, Yaris also made a small request of its own.

Zhao Hongyu nodded, he knew that what Yaris said was also true.

"Let Liu Da Scar go, I think with him, then Li Xiang should be acceptable. At the same time, send some people, the Dutch ships and the Spanish ships. Sending it over together is a great gift from me. ”

Zhao Hongyu turned his head sideways and said to Master Wang.

Wang Fuzi looked grateful and said that he was not moved, it was fake.

It is amazing that the prince of a country can do this.

What kind of identity do you have?

Master Wang, that's very clear.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the little old man will definitely instruct Liu Da Scar, and he will definitely complete His Highness's entrustment."

Of course, Master Wang understands why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so concerned about Li Xiang.

I am on the one hand, but I want to use Li Xiang's network in the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the prince's intention was to emigrate from the Ming Dynasty. Then this plan must be supported by the local government and the powerful bigwigs in the DPRK and China.

If you don't deal with those people, as long as their mouths are crooked, then you can't do anything.

This is something that can be thought of with a buttocks.

Isn't that the situation on the side of the Ming Dynasty?

Zhao Hongyu nodded, after this matter had been told to Portugal, and they also agreed, Zhao Hongyu had nothing to worry about.

The Dutch warships plus the Spanish warships, Li Xiang will definitely not refuse.

Now he is in a confrontation with Zheng Zhilong. It has fallen to the downwind, and has lost a lot of men and ships.

Therefore, sending these warships to him by himself is really tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

So. Li Xiang should not refuse her kindness.

If this guy doesn't know each other, then he will definitely let him die a bad death.

But come to think of it, a person who can achieve such a position as a pirate leader should not be so unenlightened.

Otherwise. He can't get mixed up like that.

Zhao Hongyu has great confidence in using Li Xiang's network.

The Portuguese, led by the Gene Guards, exited the Great Tent and headed to the harbor to retrieve their ships.

Now in the big tent. Only a group of merchants from the Ming Dynasty are left.

Zhao Hongyu only set his eyes on them at this time, and only after looking at them carefully did he speak: "You guys are not strange, I don't know if you are from the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Xu Yan tidied up his clothes, and after walking out, he hugged his fists and replied: "Your Highness guessed well, we are all from the Ming Dynasty, and my surname is Xu Yan Boyuan, and I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

With Xu Yan's salute, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty behind him also learned to give salutes.

Zhao Hongyu nodded with a smile, stretched out his right hand and raised it weakly.

"You don't need to be so polite, in fact, we are also of the Yanhuang ethnic group. Seriously, we are also well-rooted. ”

In fact, about Zhao Hongyu's origin, Xu Yan and they have long known the Tao.

Earlier, the Portuguese Yaris told them this in detail in order to show off.

It's just that, in order to cooperate with Zhao Hongyu to leave a good impression on him, Xu Yan still pretended to be ignorant and curious, and asked with an inquiring expression: "I don't know how to interpret His Highness's words?" ”

Hehe!

Zhao Hongyu smiled, and then glanced at Master Wang.

"Although we are living overseas, we have never dared to forget the land of our ancestors, in fact, we are the remnants of the Zhao and Song dynasties hundreds of years ago."

Hiss!

And so it was!

Xu Yan had a shocked expression on his face, if he was in the modern world, he would definitely be an actor-level actor.

Zhao Hongyu smiled and nodded: "It's a pity, the Mongols forced us to go overseas, far away from our homeland." When he talked about this, Zhao Hongyu also sighed, as if he was remembering the past of his ancestors.

"This is a coincidence, I can't imagine that we are still of the same origin and the same root, the prince's ancestors can settle down in a foreign country, and lay down a large territory, I think we are also brave people."

When will I shoot if I don't shoot at this time, Xu Yan is not a fool.

"It's all in the past, don't mention it." , Zhao Hongyu waved his hand as if he didn't care, "I don't know why you came to my camp?" ”

Just as you asked.

When Xu Yan heard this, he was overjoyed.

Still, it didn't show much on his face.

"I've heard that the Portuguese Yaris had mentioned His Highness earlier, so I wanted to come and see it. And some of the goods of the Nayalis were obtained from your country. I also want to come and talk to His Highness about the trade of certain commodities. ”

Xu Yan had been watching it for a long time just now, and he already almost knew the preferences of His Highness.

Speak directly and don't like to beat around the bush.

Since this is the case, then there is no need to knock on the side, and the province will make this highness unhappy.

As for the relics of the Zhao and Song dynasties, they actually don't have much to do with them.

"Oh, I see, then what do you want to do to trade goods, my Song Empire has a lot of goods."

Zhao Hongyu also pretended to be ignorant of the world. Coupled with his youthful appearance, he can also scare many people.

It's just that he dealt with the Dutch just now, and the conversation with the Portuguese was all seen by Xu Yan, so how could Xu Yan spy on him again.

Hmph, this highness is really extraordinary, and he knows how to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.

But this is not strange at all, after all, it is the Chinese ethnic group of the remnants of Zhao and Song.

Xu Yan thought to himself.

"The goods that the Portuguese Yaris brought to the country of Japan here are sugar. Shampoo, body soap, thirteen spices, and essence of chicken, all of which are small people who want to be able to trade with your country. ”

Xu Yan uttered a long list of trade names.

Hehe!

Zhao Hongyu smiled after hearing this.

Zhao Hongyu smiled. Xu Yan suddenly felt a little apprehensive in his heart.

He didn't know why Zhao Hongyu was laughing, but he didn't say too much?

Indeed, those are all good things, and there are not many products on Zhao Song's side.

And Yaris also said it just now. Most of the production of goods in the Zhao and Song empires was limited.

Even the merchants in Europe, every time they went to trade, they could buy only a small amount.

More and more. People don't sell it anymore.

Just when Xu Yan was worried in his heart, wondering if he was going to change his words, Zhao Hongyu finally spoke.

"You can get some of the goods you need, but the Americas are too far away from the Ming Dynasty, and it basically takes eight months to sail just once, and there are countless dangers to experience, so I don't know if you want to go to the Americas, or let us ship the goods over."

Zhao Hongyu asked after blinking his eyes.

My mom, it's so far away.

Hearing Zhao Hongyu say this, Xu Yan gasped.

He had no idea that there was such a problem.

Eight months of sailing, this is a personal life.

At sea is different from land, where anything can happen.

If nothing else, the ship may capsize in the offshore sea alone, let alone the deep sea.

And more importantly, today's Ming Dynasty sea ships are basically offshore ships, and they cannot sail to the ocean at all.

Not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the sea ships of the Wa Kingdom, Goryeo, Southeast Asia and other countries were basically not allowed to sail to the sea.

And only those ships of the West can make such a voyage.

Eight months, a year and a half to come and go.

There are storms, pirates, and other dangers to encounter.

Alas!

"Your Highness, to tell you the truth, my Daming sea ship cannot sail in the open sea. Therefore, we can only buy the goods of the empire nearby, which means that as soon as the goods from His Highness's side arrive at Daming Seaport, we are willing to buy all of them and pay cash. ”

Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu left room for what he said just now, giving Xu Yan a glimmer of hope.

Since it doesn't work to pick up the goods in person with huge profits, then let's be a second-tier dealer.

"Shipped to the Ming Dynasty? It's not impossible, but there are still some problems. ”

Zhao Hongyu thought about it and felt that this thing could be done completely, and there were many benefits.

Because when the time comes, the ships will always come to Daming.

If you can carry a shipload of goods when you arrive, then there will be nothing to lose.

And, you can also take this opportunity to make a profit.

However, there is still a problem to be solved, that is, the Ming Dynasty prohibits trade with foreign countries, so it is impossible for the merchant ships of the Zhao and Song Empires to land in the Daming port.

In this way, where is the cargo unloaded?

At the same time, how to load the ships of those displaced people of the Ming Dynasty all need to be solved.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Zhao Hongyu will be engaged in wind and rain on the Japanese side.

Because he needed to beat the Japanese people, and then force the shogunate to give him a territory.

With this territory, he will be able to receive those displaced people.

The original plan was to use pirates.

However, it would be better if these merchants were willing to help as well.

In short, the more people are willing to do this, the better.

The background behind the Ming people who were able to do maritime trade in these years was not simple.

Moreover, the owners of these people only recognize money one by one, and as long as they have money, there is nothing they can't do.

Zhao Hongyu thought of this in a short period of time, so he was kind to Xu Yan.

"I don't know what His Highness Lu Dao is worried about, you might as well say it and I'll take a closer look. Although we and others are all businessmen, the backers behind us are extraordinary. ”

Zhao Hongyu and Wang Fuzi glanced at each other, he saw a look of agreement in Wang Fuzi's eyes, and then turned his head and said: "I heard that the Ming Dynasty forbade trade with foreign countries, so how can we have merchant ships to dock?" If there is no place to dock, where will the cargo be unloaded? ”

Zhao Hongyu's concern is not unreasonable.

Hearing Zhao Hongyu say this, Xu Yan and the others also became serious.

Yes, the imperial court has regulations on this aspect, and it does not trade with foreign countries.

Don't look at the fact that they can do trade now, but it's actually illegal.

According to the words of later generations, in fact, what they did was smuggling.

It's just that because the backers behind them and even the proprietors and masterminds are nobles, the court can't do anything about them.

However, they were only sneaky, and they did not openly oppose the court.

However, if the goods of the Song Empire were transported to the coastal ports, it would be clear.

Isn't this against the imperial court?

When the time comes, the court will investigate it, but it is not something they can afford.

In short, on the Daming side, although the things they do are already known to the world, in general, they are still under the table.

The emperor also knows the way of the court, but after all, he just turns a blind eye for the sake of face.

At the same time, those noble officials also knew that they were low-key and did not do anything too out of the ordinary.

But if it's all on the table, isn't it a naked slap in the emperor's face!

Besides, how many times the emperor said about opening the sea, but he was stopped by officials and nobles.

But the emperor can't open the sea to make money, but these noble officials are making a lot of money, and the emperor is not comfortable.

If a suitable excuse is found for the emperor, then this matter ......

After Xu Yan and the others discussed it, they felt that this matter was really a bit tricky.

At this time, under the instruction of Zhao Hongyu, Master Wang coughed and opened his mouth: "Everyone, I have a way here to solve this problem." ”

When Xu Yan and the others heard this, they immediately looked at it with bright eyes. (To be continued......)
