Suddenly changed from a prisoner to a guest, this huge gap made Zheng Qing and Sun Junming two little people unable to turn their heads. After finally waking up, their first feeling was that the cash cow suddenly fell from the sky, and the two of them were busy picking up money under the tree.

Ximenqing not only bought a shipload of silver that they brought this time, but also booked the output of the silver mines of the Japanese Kingdom in the future, and the agency of such a large amount of silver trade completely flowed through the hands of the two of them, and the benefits in it almost fainted them to death when they thought about it.

After many draw-ups, the specific trade routes were identified as three - the first was to start from Tsushima Island in the Wa Kingdom and transport silver to the port of Busan in Goryeo by small boats, and the Tsushima clan clan had built a special trade Wakan Club in Busan, specializing in pouring ginseng between the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo, and at the same time secretly spying on the intelligence of the Goryeo Kingdom to serve the Wa Kingdom. After the silver cargo is concentrated in Busan, it is packed in standard shipping container specifications and then sent overland to Kaegyong, the capital of Goryeo, where it is regularly transported by the Federal Navy's merchant fleet from Bangyo Town, Dengju to Hwaswan, Goryeo.

This silver trade route was a silver trade route that saved a lot of unnecessary troubles by the interests of the Chinese Federation, Goryeo, and the Japanese Kingdom. And as the date of Goryeo's annual tribute to the Chinese Federation became clearer, the shrewd Wa merchants soon saw an opportunity to make a lot of extra money.

It turned out that the itinerary of the Goryeo tributary mission was always fixed: the Imperial Calendar Counselor set out from Kaekyung in the eighth month of the lunar calendar and returned from Juye City, the capital of the Chinese Federation, in December; The Winter Solstice and New Year's Day envoys set off in November of the lunar calendar and did not return to Kaijing until April of the following year. Therefore, as the departure date of the Goryeo tributary mission approached, the silver trade of the Wa kingdom would become more and more active, and the silver would be carried by the Goryeo officials of the tributary envoys, and according to the treaty of Bingshen signed between Ximen Gyeong and Goryeo (which was later added to the supplementary agreement), the 35 chief officials of the Goryeo envoys could each carry 2,000 to 3,000 taels of silver or ginseng goods, but the Goryeo officials collectively chose the more profitable silver. Thirty-five magistrates were thus allowed to bring into the country a total of seventy-four thousand taels (about 2.8 tons) of silver, all of which were duty-free.

However, the officials of the Chinese Federation were very different from the public servants who were in the position of corpses and vegetarians in later generations, and they soon detected the abnormal flow of silver in the market, so they discovered the cacophony of the Korean and the Japanese people. Jiang Jing, the Minister of Commerce, reported this serious tax evasion crime to Ximenqing, and Ximenqing sighed and said: "Sure enough, the Japanese people are the most calculating in business, and if they are not careful, they will take advantage of them!" ”

After all these years of subtle work, Jiang Jing has already become the biggest miser of the Chinese Federation, he is reluctant to spend the money of the state treasury as if he is reluctant to spend his own money, and Minister Jiang is extremely disgusted by this kind of digging into the corner of the tax wall of the Chinese Federation, and proposes that Ximenqing must urge the parliament to pass and impose severe sanctions on Goryeo and the Japanese state.

Ximenqing was not in a hurry to make a decision, and he read all the reports that were sent around the matter -- the intelligence department that was sometimes relocated, the security department under the leadership of Jiao Ting, and even the secret operations department that walked in the middle of nowhere...... After reading it, Ximenqing smiled and said to Jiang Jing - let it go!

Jiang Jing was in a hurry, how could he let it go? That's all money spent for nothing! The tax revenue of the Chinese Federation should be used for the construction of the people's welfare, how can a handful of foreign magnates and bourgeoisie fatten their own pockets?

Ximen Qing smiled and said to Jiang Jing slowly: "Gaoli is just a disease of ringworm and scabies, and they just want to get a little cheap." As for the Japanese people...... The best way to punish these people was to indulge their greed - the huge profits from the silver that had been evaded from the taxes did not go into the treasury of the Wa Kingdom, but were secretly swallowed up by the Tsushima clan. Man's greed is endless, riding donkeys, mules, and horses, and looking at princes, and I would love to nurture this family and see what happens when his wealth and power swell to the point where he cannot restrain his own ambitions—isn't that interesting? ”

Jiang Jing listened, as if he had never known Ximenqing, and looked him up and down again: "Führer, this is not in line with the style you have always acted in!" ”

Ximenqing smiled: "What do you say? ”

Jiang Jing said: "The head of state has always been very good to the countries around us, even the Western Xia, which is outside our federal system, even if there are occasional calculations, but they are all based on national interests, and they have to be so." But why is it so, so ...... to the Wa Kingdom?"

Seeing that Jiang Jing wanted to pretend for himself but was unable to do anything, Ximen Qing laughed and said, "So full of unfavorable hearts? ”

Jiang Jing's twists and turns in his heart were all said by Ximen Qing, and he hurriedly nodded again and again: "Yes!" Right! Right! That's it! ”

Ximen Qing was stunned for a while, and finally nodded and sighed: "I can only say that the Japanese country is different from other countries, and I have to take a look at it-alas! People's likes and dislikes, from the heart, now I really can't have the same kindness to all my companions. ”

Jiang Jing thought for a while and said: "The head of state is the reincarnation of the heavenly star, since he has a plan for the Japanese, he must have a deep meaning. Anyway, whether the country is peaceful or civil strife, we can all make money from it continuously, and if you think about it, you don't have to worry too much! ”

Since there were not too many plans, the Chinese Federation took out the demeanor of the Celestial Empire and officially approved the duty-free private trade of silver and ginseng between the three countries. At this moment, both Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom cheered and shouted: "The Great China Federation is an unprecedented country with great good governance!" ”

Most of the officials of Goryeo transferred their privilege of carrying silver to traders, and the Japanese people who tasted the sweetness began to challenge the original fixed amount of silver, and later, in addition to the calculations, silver smuggling began, of course, in front of the perfect monitoring network of the Chinese Federation, all the cunning tricks of the Japanese State were not hidden, and the customs of the Chinese Federal Republic vigorously cracked down on the Japanese smugglers, and confiscated the smuggled silver, which alone was enough to offset the evasion of taxes, and Jiang Jingle was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

After discovering that the smuggling route was not working, the Tsushima clan, who had suffered huge smuggling losses, was red-eyed, and in a daze, they began to start in the normal silver trade, and small means to damage the public and private interests began to be used frequently. Before they knew it, the Wakoku had suffered huge losses, while the Tsushima clan had amassed a huge fortune.

The most remarkable thing is that the accounts of the clan are quite clean, and the old men in the Kyoto court administration who are full of fat brains can't find the slightest flaw. The clan was rated as advanced every year and became the representative of the various feudal towns of the Wa Kingdom.

The clan wore a dazzling halo and cheated for decades, until their treasure accumulated to the point of being eye-catching. Eventually, the conflict between the old and new nobles intensified as the court system created by Emperor Shirakawa intensified, which eventually led to the rise of the two major samurai groups of Hei and Gen, and the Wa Kingdom entered the Heian period of political chaos. In order to protect themselves in the troubled times, the Tsushima clan had to expand its power with great fanfare, and launched a bloody campaign with the Taira clan and the Genji clan, which completely changed the political pattern and historical trend of the Wa Kingdom.

Later historians found that the misfortune was nothing more than tens of thousands of taels of tax-free silver from the tributary envoys of Goryeo, and some people sighed: "Buying a country's luck with 74,000 taels of silver is also cheap!" ”

Of course, the current Wa Kingdom does not feel that his luck is in danger of being bought out, on the contrary, Emperor Shirakawa, who listened to the government behind the back of Emperor Toba, heard that the Tsushima clan had climbed the high branches of the Chinese kingdom, and his heart was overjoyed, he had long admired all kinds of luxury goods in the Central Plains, but the sea route was vast, the smoke and water were separated, and he was the emperor of a country, and he still couldn't get his hands on the good things, and today with such a relationship as the silver trade, he could get the most extravagant wishes before he died.

Zheng Qing and Sun Junming were flattered by the fact that they were just small people, and they never dreamed that one day they would enjoy such treatment, and they were afraid of losing them, so they tried their best to defend their present position -- under the influence of the two of them, Emperor Shirakawa happily stamped the Emperor's seal on the documents of trade between the two countries -- in the past, trade between the two countries was only of a civil nature, but now, The ports of the Wa Kingdom were officially opened to the sea vessels of the Chinese Federation.

The second trade route officially formulated was the silver trade route, a luxury item from Hangzhou to Changwei. The ships of the Chinese Federation brought a large number of luxury goods in exchange for silver from the Japanese Kingdom, so this trade route was also called the "aristocratic trade route".

The third trade route was added later, the silver road from Taiwan to the Wa Kingdom.

Zhao Yu, the last royal son of the Zhao Song Dynasty, finally established a foothold in Taiwan, and with the assistance of Zhang Shuye, Jing Zhong, and Li Jun, a member of the mixed river dragon, he finally opened up a new world. In the process of opening up the world, Ximen Qing also secretly made a great effort, when the situation was clarified step by step, Zhao Yu found that he was like a kite, no matter how high he flew, he was still inseparable from the motherland behind him.

The next thing is very natural - under the mediation of Zhang Shuye, the Baodao regime established by Zhao Yu, a cadre, officially returned to the embrace of the Chinese Federation, and hurriedly took a boat to Juye City on the edge of Liangshan to participate in the National Representative Assembly, the book thief boy and the head of state Ximen Qing shook hands and saluted each other, sighing at each other, this is:

The brothers are here, and they meet with a smile and a grudge. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
