In Yangang, when the Song family's ship arrived again, it was found that Dongqin had lifted the thresher and purchased it with a ticket.

On the contrary, it was the fur, and began to buy it with a ticket according to the method of a threshing machine.

This made Song Agui, the steward of the Song family, very uncomfortable, and in the past few months, the Song family has hoarded more than 10,000 threshing tickets in order to compete for threshing machines.

It's available now, and I don't know when they'll be able to exchange these tickets.

Moreover, the thresher is in Fujian, and the popularity has declined, but what should be promoted has been almost promoted, and the music issued to the emperor has also been issued.

The magistrates don't have to look at the thresher, they just have to wait and see if that official can win the competition.

"These shorthairs are really fancy!" Song Agui looked at the supply of furs written in the trading shed, and couldn't help complaining.

"Ah Gui, didn't you say that the people of Dongqin do business, and the price is the fairest?" Tong Xingjiao on the side asked, he was the staff sent by the Fujian Political Secretary to Dongqin to investigate.

Song Agui sighed, pointed to the wooden sign in the greenhouse and said: "The price is fair, but every time people go to grab this supply, they also come up with a point system, and the higher the points, the higher the share!" ”

Tong Xingjiao stroked his beard, and after taking a look, he felt that Dongqin was doing things interestingly.

"And what's the point about?"

"Hey, isn't it just points! You can use people...... Population, exchange tickets, you can buy them with tickets. One vote is one point, points can be accumulated, or you can trade points with silver privately! ”

Tong Xingjiao pondered for a moment or two, and suddenly said: "This move is also clever, not only to make money for nothing, but also to increase the population for nothing." In the future, when there are more businessmen, there will definitely be people who specialize in this ticket business. ”

"Ticket business? Just send someone over, get the ticket and sell it? Song Agui also reacted.

Tong Xingjiao nodded, glanced around again, and only felt that the building here was strange and the dress was strange, but it was also Hexi.

It's just that the puffs of black smoke are unsightly, and the women's clothing is a little unacceptable.

After the briefing, Tong Xingjiao waited for the summons in the guest house.

When he got off the house, he found that there were already two people living next door, and he looked carefully and found that it was actually two widows!

He was immediately alert in his heart, this Eastern Qin actually had dealings with the Japanese and the Ryukyus!

A moment later, he heard the roar of the Eastern Qin Fort when it fired the cannon signal, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was the sound of a cannon.

This made Tong Xingjiao's heart more vigilant, a group of people who use Chinese characters, speak Chinese, and claim to be Chinese, but they do not wear Chinese clothes, and what they do is not in line with common sense.

In any case, this is not a good thing!

……

The next day, he was allowed to travel to Meaux.

And with him were the two widows.

Tong Xingjiao arched his hand and sat on the bow of the boat without saying a word.

But the leader of the Japanese people saluted and said, "In the lower autumn mountain Tatsuhiko, go down to the foreign minister!" Excuse me, Your Excellency, is it a wise man? ”

Tong Xingjiao replied: "Exactly! In the next is the Ming Dynasty Fuzhou people children Xingjiao. ”

Tatsuhiko Akiyama was very happy and said respectfully, "Fortunately! Fortunately! ”

"Luckily!" Tong Xingjiao doesn't particularly want to ignore the Japanese people.

Tatsuhiko Akiyama didn't know at all, he continued to ask: "Then Your Excellency is here to discuss business with Dongqin!" ”

"Uh-huh, entrusted by the head of the family, I came to negotiate a business with Dong Qin."

"It seems that your lord's business is also very large, if your lord is interested, you can trade with my lord, and we want all kinds of goods in Satsuma!"

Tong Xingjiao was stunned, glanced at the Japanese people with his eyes and said: "It seems that trade with you can only be in the Ryukyus, but I heard that the Ryukyus have been attacked by the Eastern Qin, presumably in the future, this trade will have to listen to the Eastern Qin, right?" ”

"Haha, Your Excellency said you laughed!" Tatsuhiko Akiyama thought it would be great to be able to do business, so he explained with a smile, "I just came from Ryukyu and took the ship of Eastern Qin. ”

"The Ryukyu Kingdom has not perished, but in the future, there will be Eastern Qin soldiers on Kume Island. I also inquired, and they leased Kume Island for 20 years, and the garrison was only a few hundred. Although there are consulates and customs, they are all to ensure fair trade, and Eastern Qin has no intention of annexing Ryukyu! Maybe business in the Ryukyus will be even better in the future! ”

"Why do you say that?" Tong Xingjiao was secretly happy in his heart.

Tatsuhiko Akiyama said with a smile: "The people of Eastern Qin had better follow the rules, and they are the most fair in doing business, if Ryukyu hadn't angered Eastern Qin and harmed the interests of Eastern Qin, it would not have caused a military disaster!" ”

Tong Xingjiao knew in his heart that the image of Dongqin began to appear in his imagination.

This is a place of reason and rules, a place of justice and fairness, and a place that values commerce.

Therefore, they sent troops to attack the Ryukyus, but it was just to teach the Ryukyus a lesson for the unruly, and when they achieved their goal, they withdrew their troops.

In order to ensure that the Ryukyus continued to abide by the rules, the method of leasing land was adopted to put pressure on the Ryukyus.

It can be directly forcibly occupied, but it is only leased for twenty years! It is really reasonable and responsible to act like this!

Tong Xingjiao couldn't help but admire in his heart, if the barbarians had this virtue, the Ming Dynasty would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

"Then you Satsuma, what kind of goods do you like the most?" Tong Xingjiao simply pulled up.

"Everything, whether it's porcelain and silk, or all kinds of goods, as long as it's shipped, we want it!" Tatsuhiko Akiyama was also very happy and thought that this could be done.

"Then you came to Dongqin to discuss business?" Tong Xingjiao asked suddenly.

Tatsuhiko Akiyama nodded and said: "It's also about business, the people of Eastern Qin are good at using iron, and their pots, farm tools, swords and armor, and guns are all in short supply." ”

"The people of Dongqin are indeed good at using iron, and a thresher has been sold well in Zhejiang and Fujian." Tong Xingjiao said with a smile.

Both of them were aroused to talk, and they talked a lot together.

When they arrived at the Meaux docks, the two seemed to have seen each other late.

Tong Xingjiao took the initiative to back down while playing haha, and let Tatsuhiko Akiyama go to Mocheng to do business.

He himself deliberately slowed down and took a closer look at this side.

The red houses under construction everywhere surprised him, and the people of the Eastern Qin Dynasty seemed to be extremely fond of red bricks.

There are also many waterwheels here, all of which are slowly rotating with the current, and from time to time there will be a sound of kaga kaga.

The black smoke in the distance was unabated compared to the salt port, and some words of praise were written on the walls, and he suddenly found a sentence: Fight back against the bullying of the Ryukyu Kingdom!

Some of the opinions in his heart were a little firmer, looking at the good fields, at the crowds coming and going, and at the scattered houses and streets of Mo.

Tong Xingjiao felt that this should be a place of initial indoctrination, this group of people had already gotten rid of the habits of barbarians, but to become like the people of the Central Plains, they still needed to work hard!

…………

"What, your general is quite my father-in-law?"

In the red room, Tatsuhiko Akiyama explained his intention after being polite.

At this moment, he was kneeling, and said with a serious face: "The head of my family has long admired the majesty of the king, and I just want to be able to marry the Eastern Qin as a good friend of Qin and Jin!" Although the Eastern Qin cannot be recognized as the suzerain, after the marriage, there will never be less tribute a year! I only hope that the king will grant this request to the Gentiles! ”

Yan Zheng was a little confused, just after beating the Ryukyus, why did Shimazu Tadamasa come to see off his daughter?

He pondered it carefully and felt that this was not a marriage, it was clear that it was to recognize his father!

In fact, in another time and space, the Shimazu clan had more fathers, including Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands, and Spain even built two galleons for the Shimazu clan.

Before the Westerners came, the Shimazu clan always wanted to be a grandson of the Daming, but the tributary trade has always been in the hands of the Ouchi clan and the Hosokawa clan.

Soon, Yan Zheng reacted that Shimazu Tadamasa just wanted to do business without capital.

An empty promise, a widow, can be exchanged for substantial benefits of Eastern Qin, no matter how Shimazu Tadashi calculates, he will take advantage.

Especially in the case of the firearms trade, it is clear that Shimazu Tadamasa wants more firearms.

"This matter is related to diplomatic relations, and please allow me to discuss with my courtiers!" Yan Zheng shirked first.

"King!" Tatsuhiko Akiyama shed two lines of tears, kowtowed, and said: "The foreign minister asks the king to fulfill the sincere heart of the head of my family." ”

Yan Zheng snorted and said: "Don't worry, I'm very relieved that the Shimazu clan can have this heart, but the national system is here, and I have to talk to the minister!" ”
