The next day, Yan Zheng rarely got up late.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that Kaori Shimazu was pestering him like an octopus.

He silently took her hand away, and when he was about to take the clothes, he burst out laughing.

It's really a visual conflict that is too strong, a black Yan Zheng's exclusive old clothes, and a kimono next to it.

This made him have to wonder if Sun Dacang, who invented this style of clothing, was also like this at the beginning, sleeping with her Japanese wife.

Kaori Shimazu also woke up, glanced at it, and then got into the quilt again.

Yan Zheng went out with his pants up, and when he came to the office, he said to Lan Ya: "Go and find Ashin!"

Lan Ya snorted, and said a little unpleasantly: "Why don't you let the new secretary convey it for you?"

Yan Zheng glanced at her in surprise, and said with a relieved smile: "She is a newcomer, an outsider, how can such a major matter as state administration be handed over to a widow!" You can rest assured, you, the secretary, will always be irreplaceable! ”

"And these things, if they are not handed over to you, how can I rest assured, you should know that in the entire Huaxia Kingdom, I trust you the most! That widow is just a political deal! ”

Lan Ya reluctantly went out, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

After a while, Ashin ran over.

Yan Zheng immediately asked him to sit down and eat breakfast together.

"This time, if you go to Japan again, you will take the route taken by the Ming maritime merchants, go to the Ouchi clan, and then go south along the territory of the Ouchi clan, and you will all visit the forces you encounter on the way, and at the same time open the trade route, sell firearms to them, and sell the foreign trade version of the arquebus and breech 75 guns!"

"Dealing with other forces?" Ashin put down the spoon and said, "Even if so many trade routes are opened, our factories can't supply them now!"

"It's different!" Yan Zheng explained: "This time it is mainly firearms trade, population trade, and opening up trade routes is considered to be a way to explore!" The firearms we sold to the Shimazu clan have affected the balance of the region, and in order to ensure the offshore balance, we must sell the firearms all over the vicinity of the Shimazu clan! At that time, the arms trade will be able to continue more smoothly. ”

Ashin nodded: "That's what you said, through the arms trade, interfering in the situation in the region, ensuring that all parties have the strength to fight, but they also hinder each other, so that we can get the maximum benefits in the middle!"

Yan Zheng smiled: "The Shimazu clan tasted the sweetness and came up with a means of marriage, thinking that if he sent a daughter over, our Dongqin would stand on their side, this is what he thinks too much!" There is only one goal of our diplomacy, and that is to make the more chaotic places outside our homeland, the better! Only when there is chaos, we will have the opportunity to intervene, and when the time comes, a word of standing in line can make them put down their sovereignty and beg us! ”

Ashin thought about it and couldn't help but admire: "It seems that diplomacy is really the same as military strength, and it is a major matter of the country!"

"Of course, military strength and diplomacy are mutually exclusive, and weak countries can only play balancing act through diplomacy, but strong countries can use diplomacy to conquer cities. In a mature country, there should be no Huayi debate, and there should be some so-called political correctness.

Everything should be subordinated to, whether it is in the interests of the country or not! The Ming Kingdom seems to be powerful, but its diplomatic level will make him unbearable! If diplomacy fails, the military will be consumed, and when the military is almost consumed, diplomacy will be too late! ”

Yan Zheng patiently explained that as a diplomatic talent cultivated single-handedly, he hoped that Ashin would look at East Asia and consider the problem.

Ashin lowered his head and thought for a moment, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Then if we do this, will it cause the dissatisfaction of the Shimazu clan?" As you know, we are trading with the Shimazu clan now. ”

"It will make them dissatisfied, but as I said, weak countries have no diplomacy, so they can only pinch their noses and admit it! Even in the end, these big names will know that we are not good people, but they have to please us! That's the beauty of diplomacy, where everything comes to a liking's interests, and a lot of things can be made simpler. ”

Ashin nodded in instruction.

Yan Zheng looked at him with a smile and said: "And this route, it will pass through Shandong and North Korea, you can try to open up trade, I heard Ming Guoshang Jia say that Shandong's cotton yield is very high, you can try to see if you can buy cotton."

Ashin said: "Then this route is obviously in greater demand!"

Yan Zheng nodded and said, "That's right." And next year, I estimate that the supply of raw materials for our summer cloth will increase several times, and the output of iron products will be one volume a month, and the production capacity will explode very quickly, and our ships may not be enough in the end! So this time, you can contact more businessmen and let them come to Yangang for direct trade! Now we have the ability and system to liberalize trade!

In the short term, our production capacity may not be so large, but the source of raw materials is broadened, and we only need to build more machines and get more manpower. Our silver reserves can also support our trade. ”

Ashin understood, this trip was a Luke propaganda, and it was also to disturb the situation in Japan.

Shimazu Tadamasa came to deal with Yan Zheng with a traditional concept, obviously losing his daughter and losing his army.

Yan Zheng's mind is completely the word interests, he does not take the principle of small things big and big things small, for him, if there is a benefit, I will go up, and if there is no benefit, I will stand aside and watch. If you want him to lose money and make money, don't even think about it!

After a while, Kaori Shimazu also got up from the bed and changed into another kimono.

Since the material of this kimono is relatively loose, it walks in a swaying way.

She was pleasantly surprised to find that two of the four maids had been arranged back to the red room.

The dowry's belongings were returned to the hall.

She happily stroked the instruments she had brought, picked up a pipa and began to play.

She played a Japanese folk tune, and while playing her, she remembered her days in Satsuma.

After playing, she found that the King of Eastern Qin was already listening.

She hurriedly bowed and leaned over and said, "Goodbye...... See you! ”

This is the Chinese dialect she learned on the ship, and she has learned a few sentences in total.

Yan Zheng smiled, and after helping her up, he pointed to these instruments and motioned for her to demonstrate them.

This is also the first time he has seen so many ancient musical instruments in his first time.

After Shimazu Kaori understood, she immediately demonstrated them one by one.

She played the shamisen, shakuhachi, taiko drums, thirteen-string koto, seventeen-string harp, and satsuma pipa, all of which she played very well.

To Yan Zheng's surprise, she actually played a short tune of "Singing Huaxia".

It's a pity that only half of these instruments have normal sounds, and the other half are netherworlds.

However, looking at Shimazu Kaori, Yan Zheng couldn't help but think of Yangzhou Thin Horse.

It's not that he's obscene, it's really a famous existence in history, and if you don't see it, you seem to be sorry for crossing this matter.

Moreover, now the literature, art and music of the Eastern Qin Dynasty are too expensive, and in terms of cultural construction, they are far inferior to the Ming Dynasty.

Let those superb courtesans of the Ming Dynasty come to communicate, but it will be of great benefit to the cultural cause of Huaxia.

Yan Zheng also wants to come up with some new musical instruments, after all, the military band is also combat effectiveness!

"You drop, it's not easy to drop across the ocean, and in the future, the music drops will work!" Yan Zheng grunted.

Although Kaori Shimazu couldn't understand it, she could see the king's appreciation for the rhythm.

She couldn't help but be happy in her heart, thinking that if the king understood the rhythm of music, she would be able to do what he liked better in the future.
