"Hey, how good is it for you to lose money?" He Jingkun still shook his head, "What we want is not money but copper, we can't use gold and silver to cast cannons, right?" Now that the question has come over there, I said that the copper can't be given, you can take the money, do you think I can satisfy my colleagues with this kind of statement? ”

"I'm ashamed...... "Yanagi Yuansai's head was lowered, and he couldn't see much of the pride of the swordsman back then, "Please also say something about it." ”

"I say that the item is the item, but what's the use of just talking? They want copper, I can't just say a few words and be vague, right? He Jingkun couldn't help but laugh, "Your envoy came all the way from afar, it is indeed hard, I won't hide it from you, the people of our Foreign Trade Department all know that going to sea trade is a troublesome matter, and there will be disasters from heaven at any time, so many things have been prepared to deal with unexpected needs." As for copper, we also made some inventory and stacked it in the warehouse. Now the various departments follow us, we are holding the inventory to top, but this inventory can not be topped for a lifetime, I think according to the current usage, I am afraid that it will not be able to support three or two months will be exhausted, if there is no new copper at that time, I don't know what to do. So let me tell you clearly, can you resume copper ore exports to China within two or three months? If so, how much? ”

"My lord, I will make every effort to promote this, and strive to restore the shogunate's exports as soon as possible." Yanagi Motosai finally raised his head, but his face was still a little embarrassed, "However, my lord also knows that the copper we export is all going to be extracted from the mine and transported to Nagasaki, and it will definitely take a while in the middle, maybe ...... Possible...... There is really not much copper that can be produced in two or three months. But don't worry, we will increase copper production in the future, and strive to make up for your country's shortfall next year. ”

Seeing that the other party still replied like this, the smile on He Jingkun's face slowly disappeared, and his rich face now looked a little black. "Why, doesn't your envoy think that I'm a good talker, so I can be at the mercy of what's at will? This is not good, that is not good, is it not at the mercy of your country when our country is at your mercy? ”

"Your Excellency!" Yanagi Yuanzhai confessed again and again, and it was not easy for his face to slowly turn clear.

"I didn't think about being angry, you made me angry!" He Jingkun still frowned, "We have always been kind to discuss with your envoys, but your envoys always have this reason and that reason, that is, they refuse to show sincerity. After all, this is the result of your country's obstinate behavior, right? Not to mention that the two countries have diplomatic relations, even if normal business is still about integrity, how can there be a reason to act like this? Isn't it enough that your country has done such a famous job, and we still have the patience to negotiate with your country and discuss with you with good words? ”

"My lord is ashamed to say it, it is indeed irrefutable......" Yanagi Yuansai's face was also very depressed and ugly, "In the end, this is the result of some people's poor consideration, but now that the big mistake has been made, we can only do it according to the current situation, and I invite my lord Haihan." You can make it clear to the shogunate that this matter is not an example. ”

"Do you want to use the words 'no way' and make us accept these results? The envoy took it for granted. He Jingkun still didn't give in, "Besides, I've already made it clear to you, we can't bear the method given by your envoy, what your envoy should do is to find another way, instead of complaining to me again, I can't control the affairs of the shogunate, and I have no interest in taking care of it." If the envoy can't do it, we will have to find another way, after all, our foreign trade department is not all vegetarian, there is always someone who can take care of the trade with Japan, but when the time comes, please ask the envoy to explain it to the shogunate. ”

His words were so unceremonious, which also made Liu Sheng understand that Dahan's position was already relatively firm, and in two or three months, at the latest, normal supply must be restored, and the previous export gap must be filled—there is no room for turnaround.

According to what he said, if it can't be done, then the Foreign Trade Department will also do something that will affect Sino-Japanese trade, and may even interrupt trade. At that time, his position will be unstable, and he will definitely be held accountable - although the responsibility is not on him in the first place.

And if the Han cut off Japan's trade, Japan would suffer much more than the Han. Having finally restored diplomatic relations between the two countries, and expanding trade little by little, wouldn't it be a pity if it became the state of incompatibility in the pre-Ming era, and wouldn't his own future and reputation be ruined?

In any case, he must find a way to solve this problem of copper exports, even if the bronze objects in the Buddha Hall are used to offset the number, and maintain trade and maintain relations between China and Japan - if anything unexpected happens, he can't imagine the consequences.

"Now that I understand what my lord means, I will definitely repair my book and return to China, so that the shogunate can grasp the current state of affairs and solve it immediately!" He stood up, then gave a deep squeeze.

"It's good that the envoy has such sincerity, and if the whole of the shogunate acts like this, then we will have a lot less trouble." He Jingkun's face finally softened, "During this time, the noble envoy will live in the capital, and everyone will work together to resolve this dispute." ”

"Huh?" Yanagi didn't react for a moment. "Your Excellency wants to stay in the capital next?"

"If you don't stay here, you will blame it, but I can't afford it alone." He Jingkun sneered, "Your country's generosity has already alarmed the director and the Minister of Commerce, I can't tell when they will summon your envoy to ask about the situation, can your envoy be summoned in Tianjin?" However, you can rest assured that our Ministry of Commerce has a place to entertain, and we will not let your envoy live aggrieved......"

"I see, thank you, sir." Yanagi Motosai no longer thought about it and agreed to the other party's request.

Soon, after a few more polite words, He Jingkun politely called Yanagi Yuanzhai out on the grounds that he still had business to do, and then someone would naturally take him to stay in the special luxury inn of the Ministry of Commerce.

If it weren't for the order from above to hold you back, who would be so polite to you...... Looking at his departing back, He Jingkun thought to himself.

On the same day, in Goryeo Seoul, thousands of miles away from the capital, the weather was very different from the sunny city of Dahan.

The sky was overcast, the clouds were thick, the air was very humid, and it was drizzling with cold wind, which drilled into everyone's body, making this early spring as cold as winter.

Everyone walked forward with their heads bowed, shrunk and wrapped in their clothes, even the palace guards were no exception, and under the gloomy sky, even the tiles and walls of Gyeongbokgung Palace seemed to be dyed with a layer of gray, which made people feel depressed.

This feeling was especially powerful in the Goryeo courtier Kim Sung-kook, who met the king, he was wearing a wide robe, so the cold wind had been pouring into his body, and he was very cold, but for the sake of the courtier's prestige, he could only endure it, so his face was a little blue and very ugly.

However, his depression was not just due to the cold rain in early spring.

The country is in a difficult situation, as a minister, how can you not be worried?

Although it advertises itself as "Little China", Goryeo is not a big country with abundant financial resources after all, so the palace is very small, and it does not see a little bit of the grandeur of the Forbidden City of China and North Korea, and the area is not very wide.

However, although the building was not magnificent, the years of education made these Goryeo ministers very strict in etiquette, and their behavior in the palace was very respectful. Naturally, Jin Xinguo also obeyed the law, and followed the guards in the palace step by step, even if he was full of worries, he still maintained the proper demeanor of a courtier.

After passing through the Qinzheng Hall, where the lord and ministers held court meetings, he went to the Ideological and Political Hall, where the lord of the country dealt with state affairs on a daily basis, and then walked into the hall under the leadership of an attendant.

As soon as he entered the hall, he found that the lord of the country, Li Hui, was half-lying on the throne, closing his eyes and recuperating, while an attendant next to him was holding a piece of music and reciting beside him.

Without hesitation, he immediately walked to the temple, and then bowed respectfully and bowed down.

"Minister Jin Xinguo, knock to see Your Majesty!"

After hearing his sonorous shout, the lord of the country, Li Hui, slowly opened his eyes, struggled to sit up from the throne, and then made a gentle gesture to signal the attendants to leave.

Then, he opened his eyes and looked fixedly in the direction of Jin Xinguo's kneeling.

However, although he looked in this direction, it was very cloudy, there was no difference between the balls and the whites of the eyes, but the flesh color was muddy, and it looked really terrifying.

These eyes are completely devoid of vision. Moreover, it is artificially blinded.

Li Hui, the lord of Goryeo, has experienced countless thrilling events in his life, and has suffered both misery and suffering, and this pair of eyes that were blinded by lime burning is a proof of his life experience.

He has experienced the horror of the princes seizing the throne, the horror of the invasion of the Japanese invaders, the pleasure of ascending to the throne and killing and seizing it, the decision to kill his brother and brother, the tragedy of being usurped by a coup d'état and burning his blind eyes, and of course, the luck and sorrow of being forcibly restored to the throne by the Han Dynasty.

Most of his hair was gray, and his expression was blank, which matched the eyes that had been discarded. Who could tell what he was thinking from this Mu Ran's expression?

"Aiqing is flat." He waved his hand casually, motioning for Jin Xinguo to stand up.

Then, he didn't drag the mud and water, and went straight to it.

"I called Aiqing over today because Li Ke sent news from the Central People's Republic of Korea."
