"Slow down!"

Yang Xin waved his hand and said seriously: "You came empty-handed, I Daxing is the state of Chinese etiquette, but I can't let you go back empty-handed, this king knows, the Tokugawa shogunate is closed to the country, the sea trade has been monopolized by him, luxury silk, porcelain, and tea from China are outrageously expensive in Japan, since the two of you are here, it is better to buy a batch from me Daxing and go back, according to the price of the Dutch, it is the purchase price of your general, you can make a lot of money when you take it back and change hands." ”

The three people in the hall, including Li Xiangjun, were dumbfounded when they heard this, Chanako sighed secretly in her heart, this King Xing is really as Jin Shengsi said, his only hobby is to do business, and he doesn't forget to do some small business even when he talks about state affairs.

However, this is a good thing for them, as Yang Xin said, it is at least more than double the profit of changing hands.

Sakai Doshi was stunned and said: "The contemptible envoy was in a hurry, and he didn't carry a lot of silver. ”

Yang Xin couldn't help but say, and said enthusiastically: "It's okay, since you are an ambassador, this king still believes in you, you can take the goods first, and bring the silver over next time you go on an envoy, Li Gang, you take them to find someone from Daxing Firm, and arrange it." ”

Sakai Doshi was actually happy in his heart, and hurriedly thanked him, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain from this mission, and he began to think about how much goods to give on credit.

After Sakai and the two left, Li Xiangjun looked at the door and asked suspiciously: "King, we have mobilized the army to come, and it costs a lot, is it really like what you just said, as long as Tokugawa agrees, we will stop the army and make peace?" ”

Yang Xin smiled siniverly and said: "Lie to them, peace talks, that is, talk while fighting, when Tokugawa Iemitsu's descendants are gone, there is no need to talk to him, you send someone to inform the princess, ask Wang Fuxing to recruit another 50,000 new soldiers in Daxing, Japan is too big, and our troops are seriously insufficient." ”

Li Xiangjun was dumbfounded when he heard it, Yang Xin said it so sincerely just now, even she, the person next to her, believed it, but he didn't expect to blatantly lie to the ambassador, this shameless degree made Li Xiangjun, who has always been honest, feel incredible.

Yang Xin continued: "The Goryeo people are used to being the small followers of the Central Plains Dynasty, so Daxing only sent more than 20,000 troops, and then sold some overseas shares to the Goryeo monarchs, and gave enough benefits, so that Goryeo obeyed, but Japan is different, if we don't subdue them, we can't occupy them, and we can't occupy them openly, we have to control them secretly, otherwise it will cause fierce resistance, and we will be small and small, and we can't bear it." ”

Li Xiangjun was very confused when he heard this, and asked, "How does the secret control that the king said work?" ”

Yang Xin smiled and said: "My way of operation is different from the practice of the Central Plains Dynasty in previous dynasties, we don't want to lose face, don't want them to surrender, don't occupy land to swear sovereignty, and do those thankless things."

The first step is to snatch the monopoly of the Dutch, so that the Daxing firm and other merchants who are with us can make a lot of money, and then, privately, pull these daimyo to smuggle and trade with us, which will shake the dominance of the Tokugawa family in Japan, and the Tokugawa family only makes a lot of money by monopolizing the sea trade, so that they can raise so many samurai to work for themselves, and we hurt his foundation by doing this, and sooner or later he can't help it, and will take the initiative to find us to start another war, so it is not that we are untrustworthy. ”

Yang Xin's shamelessness refreshed Li Xiangjun's worldview, and she was already messy at this time.

"I'm still stunned, this king estimates that Sakai will agree to the king's conditions when he goes back to Tokugawa, and why don't you send someone to inform Aunt Chen in Busan, and ask her to inform the maritime merchants that you can come to the port of Tsushima Island, which will be a new port for trade with Japan in the future."

As soon as Yang Xin slapped Li Xiangjun's buttocks, Li Xiangjun recovered from the shock, his face turned red, and he hurriedly promised to go out to make arrangements.

Yang Xin shook her head when she saw it, if she wanted to change Fan Yuxuan here, she could draw inferences from one another, she thought of a yin trick, she could be more yin, this Li Xiangjun didn't have such a big effect, she could only be a secretary.

But it's not bad to have a stunning secretary, Yang Xin is fantasizing about a passion in the office one day, but it's just thinking about it, Li Xiangjun is afraid that she is more conservative than the princess, and she is afraid that she will be embarrassed to do something embarrassing with herself in the study.

As soon as the news reached the port of Busan, the maritime merchants were jubilant, and the price of goods rose again, and the price of Busan terminal has returned to the price of normal years, and there is an upward trend.

The dock immediately became busy, and various cargo ships began to leave the port and head to Tsushima.

Sakai Doshi returned with a full load of goods on credit, and according to the purchase price, which was worth at least 30,000 taels of silver, he went back to Edo to restore his life, and asked Chanako to return to her fiefdom with the goods to sell the goods.

He didn't dare to sell in Edo with great fanfare, if Iemitsu knew about it, then he would have it, it would be different in his own fiefdom, Tokugawa Iemitsu had a weak control over these daimyo who were not close to him, and their fiefs were basically equivalent to independent kingdoms.

When he returned to Edo, he reported Yang Xin's conditions to Tokugawa Iemitsu, such conditions were simply not worth mentioning, and Iemitsu agreed without thinking about it, and all the daimyo breathed a sigh of relief, I didn't expect King Daxing to be so easy to speak.

Since Daxing has no interest in Tsushima and wants to hand it over to Goryeo, then Japan can fight for it, as long as Japan's value in Daxing's eyes is higher than that of Goryeo, then it is easy to discuss.

Tokugawa Iemitsu acted quickly, prepared everything on the third day, and continued to send Sakai Daimyo to Tsushima Island, this time generously, and prepared a gift for Yang Xin, which was a famous Japanese katana.

Sakai Toshi came to Tsushima again with the contract signed by Tokugawa Iemitsu, as well as the princess and gifts.

Tsushima Island, the allied commander's camp, Yang Xin met with Sakai Doshi, and without saying a word, he took out the big seal and signed the peace agreement, and the two sides officially ceased fire.

Sakai Doshi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally signed a peace agreement without betraying Japan's interests, and his reputation in Japan would not be affected.

"King Xing, the goods that I owed on credit last time have already brought the silver here."

After talking about business, Sakai Doshi should talk about private matters.

Yang Xin smiled and said, "How do you feel about this business?" This king intends to give you another hundred thousand taels of silver on credit, although he will sell it first, and it will not be too late to deliver the silver after he has sold it. ”

Sakai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he could earn at least 30,000 taels of goods last time, and if he took another 100,000, then, that is, he could earn 100,000 taels.

One hundred thousand taels is not a small amount, even for a big name, it is a huge amount of money.

However, there is a problem here, the reason why Sakai took 30,000 taels of goods last time was to estimate that his fief would probably be able to sell such goods, and if he took more, it meant that he would either stay and sell slowly, or he would have to sell it in someone else's fiefdom, which might be detected by the Tokugawa shogunate.

However, people are greedy, and he didn't hesitate for too long, so he excitedly agreed.

"Thank you King Xing for that."

Sakai said happily.

Chanako hurriedly reminded and said, "King Xing, if we take too many goods, I'm afraid it will be easy for the general to detect, what if something happens?" ”

Chanako is still more cautious, unlike his father, who earns money first and then speaks.

Yang Xin smiled and said: "Sakai Gongzi, you don't have to worry about this matter, first, you can tell more daimyo like you who are not very close to Tokugawa Iemitsu, and ask them to come to Tsushima Island, this king can give them credit goods, and if there are more people who sell, it will not be easy to find out to you, second, if something happens, even if you send someone to ask for help from the coalition army, this king has an army of 500,000 under his command, which can definitely ensure that your Sakai family is safe and sound in Japan, and no one can move!" ”

Yang Xin's words were like giving Sakai a reassurance, such a good thing, and it is a sure win, take the goods first and then give the money, and the army to protect it, so that everyone dares to do it.

Sakai happily agreed, and went to find Aunt Chen to get the goods under the leadership of his own soldiers.

Li Xiangjun was stunned by everything in front of him, he didn't expect this kind of operation, he just signed an exclusive monopoly agreement with Tokugawa Iemitsu, and when he turned around, he sold the goods privately to the daimyo, and it was on credit to encourage them to buy, this wave of devilish operations, few daimyo can resist the temptation.

Yang Xin looked at Li Xiangjun's surprised appearance and said, "Call Aunt Chen over." ”

Li Xiangjun was still too honest, he decided to ask Aunt Chen to handle this matter herself, and then let Li Xiangjun study on the side.

"King Xing, I have already given the goods to Sakai Doshi according to your instructions, and I have also made an appointment with him to introduce more daimyo to Tsushima Island to get the goods."

Aunt Chen's things were done in an orderly manner and completely according to Yang Xin's requirements, she thought that Yang Xin would be very satisfied.

Yang Xin frowned and said, "This is not enough, you have to learn to draw inferences." ”

Aunt Chen was stunned and asked, "What is King Xing's opinion?" ”

Yang Xin smiled and said, "First, you can promote this blatant smuggling to all other maritime merchants, and second, your target customers are not limited to the daimyo from all over Japan, there are also many Japanese pirates on the sea today, that is, Japanese pirates, who do not obey the Tokugawa shogunate's lockdown decree and are our natural allies."

I believe that with such a two-pronged approach, Japan will soon become a mess of porridge, and the profits of smuggling will be higher, I believe that those Qing maritime merchants will be happy to do this, you also have to tell them that in the process of smuggling, if you encounter any danger, don't forget the huge fleet of the coalition army, on call, to ensure that they smuggle safely, there will be no danger to their lives! ”

Li Xiangjun's eyes widened when he heard this, where is this called a peace agreement, he simply dug a huge pit and waited for Tokugawa Iemitsu to jump in.

Aunt Chen finally understood thoroughly, she used to do business in the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, Dashun or her ally Goryeo, basically honest and legal business, but now it is very different, what she wants to do is an illegal smuggling business, but it is against the law formulated by Tokugawa Iemitsu, and now Daxing and Tokugawa are in a hostile position, do you still need to abide by the law he formulated?

"King Xing, if the Great Qing Maritime Merchants need to send a naval division to the coalition army at a critical moment, we should charge a fee, and we can't send it in vain."

Aunt Chen thought for a while.

Yang Xin nodded and said, "You have finally learned to draw inferences, if you understand, go ahead and make more money as soon as possible before Tokugawa Iemitsu reacts, we have been spending too much recently." ”

Aunt Chen hurriedly agreed and left.

Li Xiangjun finally understood that Yang Xin's method of delaying the war would not only not increase expenses, but would make a lot of money to subsidize military spending, and the Daxing firm brought goods worth more than 10 million taels of silver, if it was sold to Tokugawa Iemitsu through an agreement, or secretly sold to these daimyos, it would make at least double the price of the Dutch, and if it was sold to pirates for smuggling, the profits would be even more amazing.

After Aunt Chen left, Yang Xin stood up and said to Li Xiangjun: "Tokugawa Iemitsu gave us a big gift this time, let's go, let's take a look." ”

Li Xiangjun's face was full of confusion and asked, "Isn't the katana he gave you here?" What other big gifts? ”

Yang Xin shook his head when he heard this, and said: "In Japan, the emperor is the biggest, he sent a princess to this king, didn't he send allies to our coalition army, this is the real gift package, what's so strange about a broken knife!" ”

Due to the rush of more than 40,000 Japanese prisoners, it has only been less than a month, and the Tsushima Island wharf has already taken a preliminary appearance, and Yang Xin's Shuai Camp is naturally the most priority place to build, and there are already a few decent houses at this time.

Yang Xin saw the Japanese princess at the gate of the handsome camp, and at this time, she was taking a few personal soldiers on the construction site next to the handsome camp, carrying a bucket of water, and personally bringing a scoop to feed the busy Japanese prisoners with water to drink.

The Koreans hated Japan and naturally managed their captives very strictly, and these captives often did not have time to drink water, and if they died of exhaustion, they were dragged away and thrown into the sea.

Yang Xin specially explained that the Goryeo people were called to manage the captives, first, the Han people were naturally sympathetic to the weak, and the soldiers of Daxing were not hard-hearted towards the captives, after all, the Han people in this era did not have as much hatred for the Japanese as later generations, and second, Yang Xin did not want the regular army to develop a bad habit of abusing prisoners.

The Koreans are different, they are born doglegs, and the Japanese have invaded Goryeo many times, and they will never be merciful to the Japanese.

While feeding the captives water, the princess also encouraged, saying, "You must persevere, I will find a way to save you!" ”

The captives burst into tears of excitement, and many knelt down to thank them after drinking water.

Most of these captives were the descendants of Tokugawa Iemitsu, and they were naturally more loyal to the Tokugawa family, but at this time, as prisoners, they suffered a lot, and in front of the coalition forces, they were all Japanese, and there was no distinction between public and samurai.

Yang Xin watched the performance of the princess in front of him with interest, and at this time, after drinking water, a warrior knelt on the ground to thank the princess and refused to get up for a long time.

The Goryeo supervisor on the side quit, and when he saw Yang Xin coming, he thought that he couldn't let the Japanese be lazy in front of King Daxing, and he had to behave, so he took out his whip and whipped it towards the captive, only to beat the samurai with skin on his back, and screamed again and again.

The princess was immediately excited, rushed over to block the samurai, and said loudly: "Stop, how can you treat the captives like this?" ”

Seeing that the Japanese princess was in the way, the Koreans did not dare to act rashly, but just raised their whips and shouted: "Get out of the way, don't delay the project of King Xing." ”

The princess stretched out her hands, and naturally she would not let her be killed.

Yang Xin stepped forward, waved his hand to signal the Koreans to get out of the way, and then said to the nervous princess: "These people are Tokugawa Iemitsu's henchmen, what are you doing protecting them like this?" ”

The princess saw that the person who came was very tall, and there were a lot of guards around her, she had never seen Yang Xin, but it was estimated that it was not small, so she said firmly: "So what, they are the Japanese first, and then the samurai of the Tokugawa family!" ”

Yang Xin thought about it, and let the Japanese captives be grateful to the princess, so that they could enhance the emperor's appeal, and then let them eat dogs with Tokugawa.

So he nodded and said: "Since you are not satisfied with the overseers of the Koreans, so let's go and select some Japanese samurai yourself, and let you Japanese oversee the work of your own people, responsible for this construction site, if you do a good job, this king will cancel the overseers of Goryeo and promote this model." ”

The princess was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down, she didn't expect that this handsome man was actually the king of Daxing, the object of her own relationship, and she also gave herself face, and secretly made up her mind in her heart, she must encourage the prisoners on this construction site to work hard, and get the right to supervise all the prisoners in the entire Tsushima Island, and the Japanese will supervise the Japanese, and the treatment of the prisoners will naturally be greatly improved.

When the working warriors heard this, they all knelt down to the princess and said loudly, "I will swear allegiance to the princess!" ”

The Japanese spirit of bushido attaches great importance to loyalty, but allegiance to the princess is not a betrayal, because the emperor has always been the nominal supreme ruler of Japan, and they are only the low-level samurai under the Tokugawa.

The princess is only thirteen years old, the Japanese are short in stature, in Yang Xin's eyes, she is just a little girl, the little girl sees the prisoner being abused, and the heart of the Virgin White Lotus bursts, which is naturally very understandable.

"The king has to say what he says, and if I do it, the captives on the entire island will be supervised by the Japanese led by the main palace."

The princess was afraid that Yang Xin would regret it, so she hurriedly finalized her words.

Yang Xin smiled and said to the guards on the side: "Martin Qi, the people who took you all the way followed the princess, and she will meet her if she has any requirements!" ”

The hundred households hurriedly agreed.

Then Yang Xin looked down at the princess kneeling on the ground again, and said, "So you can rest assured, right?" ”

The princess nodded hurriedly, and then couldn't wait to say to Martin Qi: "Hurry up and bring some gold creation medicine!" ”

Ma Baihu hurriedly agreed and sent someone to get the medicine.

The princess personally treated the whipped samurai, and Yang Xin lost interest and came back with Li Xiangjun.

"The Japanese are really beasts, such a young girl will marry this king!"

On the way back, Yang Xin scolded.

Li Xiangjun also frowned, and said: "Thirteen years old is not too young, and it is also very high in the Central Plains, but she is too small, how can she withstand the toss of the king." ”

Li Xiangjun thought to herself, even if she was herself, she couldn't stand Yang Xin's toss, such a little girl, if she got married, how to cave the house, I'm afraid it would be a big problem.
