Chapter 961 - No Other Choice (Medium)

Ji Ye took a sharp breath, and then stabilized his mind.

The other party's statement was so straightforward, it really caught him off guard, this is a situation he didn't think about before he came.

In the past, not to mention such a major event, it was an ordinary business dealing, and his Ji family always had to go around 800 circles to negotiate with others before he could get to the point.

But now it's a good thing, this Fuso businessman didn't wait for himself to explain the reason, and went straight to the point.

Is this the way to do things that turn into a barbarian? It's too insulting.

With a thought in his heart, Ji Ye still had to cooperate: "Mr. Nagano is really quick to talk, and I admire him. Since you've said so, there's no excuse for you—yes, I'm here to ask you for help.

"Now in Hangzhou, only you and the Nagano Domain Lord behind you can help us get out of this calamity."

Mr. Nagano smiled, and did not bother to say yes or no, but took out some black and slender tea leaves from the bamboo tea tube, put a pinch of Kiye and his own teacup, and then took the teapot that had boiled water and poured soup into each cup.

Immediately, a faint fragrance of tea rose in front of the two of them, and he even held the teacup with a solemn face and made a gesture of please: "Mr. Ji, please taste the tea first and see how my tea ceremony is."

Ji Ye had the heart to finalize the most important thing first, but seeing the other party's attitude, he finally chose to follow the customs, carefully picked up the simple teacup, sniffed the tea first, and then carefully took a sip, tasting the taste.

But alas, the taste of this tea is too ordinary, and it is really difficult to evaluate a good word for Ji Ye, who is accustomed to drinking Hangzhou's high-grade Longjing tea.

Mr. Nagano, on the other hand, showed a look of enjoyment at this time, swallowed the tea in the cup in a few sips, and then closed his eyes, as if he was savoring the taste of the tea.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, exhaled again, and then looked at Ji Ye expectantly: "How?"

"It's a good tea." Ji Ye could only reply against his will, and then he hurriedly said, "About the matter of your clan helping my three families...... By the way, as long as you can help us succeed this time, we will definitely be able to give you enough benefits."

This finally intrigued Mr. Nagano, and he put the cup down, and said with a twinkle in his eyes, "What kind of good can you give my lord?"

"Didn't the gentleman just say he wanted those goods? As long as it is done, we will collect all these things and give them to your domain."

Ji Ye said, seeing that the other party didn't react too much, he continued: "Also, in the future, the transactions between our Hangzhou and Fusang parties will only be done with your clan, and the others will ignore them. You, the Nagano Domain, will be the only seller in Fuso who can get our goods from Jiangnan and even the entire Central Plains. When the time comes, you can sell at whatever price you want in the local area......

As he spoke, he looked at the other person's expression again, only to find that Mr. Nagano was still unmoved, and only looked at him with a smile.

This made his heart tighten slightly, this guy from Fusang was more difficult and greedy than he imagined.

But there is no way, who makes them the only hope of their own family now, that is, no matter how big their appetite is, they have to feed them: "In this way, after the deed is completed, we can give you another five million taels of silver, and we can discuss whatever you want......

"Mr. Ji, although I only walk around the beach, there is a saying in your Central Plains that I have heard, which is called not giving up if you can't reach the Yellow River."

"Huh?"

"But in my opinion, even if you go to the Yellow River, your heart is still immortal. I think you know better than I know how dangerous your situation is, right? Why, it's all at this time, do you still want to use such a small benefit to ask us to help rescue you?"

The other party's lazy and aggressive attitude suddenly made Ji Ye's eyebrows suddenly raised: "Mr. Nagano, what do you mean by this?"

"Now your Ji family and the Yu family, the Zhou family, have long been unable to protect themselves, right? You can only be said lucky to be here to talk to me. That is to say, your power in Jiangnan has completely disappeared, and it is completely under the control of the Dayue Imperial Court.

"And now, you want to borrow the power of our Nagano Domain to save the entire family, is that little benefit really enough?"

"You ......" Ji Ye finally changed color, and the other party's understanding of the situation in Hangzhou and his own family was far beyond what he had thought before.

This also means that the other party completely takes the initiative, and what he wants will naturally be much greater than imagined.

He had the heart to deny it, but after a turn of thought, he gave up again.

I thought that the facts could not be faked, and, for now, the only person who could save his family in the shortest possible time was the person in front of him.

Thinking about all this, he knew that the price he had to pay this time would probably be very huge.

But, does he have a choice?

"Tell me about Mr. Nagano, what kind of reward do you want?"

Mr. Nagano sat up straight, stared at the other party's eyes, and said slowly, "We can save the people of the three of you, and we can also help you capture Hangzhou and several other coastal cities.

"But you also have to pay a sufficient price. From now on, in Hangzhou and other places, whether it is the common people or the officials, all of them will be vassals to our Fusang people, and they will pay us tribute and property every year, and the things you produce can only be sold to us.

"Of course, during this time, our feudal lord and my samurai will also do our best to ensure your safety and not let the Central Plains Imperial Court hurt you in the slightest. Well, it's a fair deal, isn't it?"

Ji Ye was completely stupid there.

He thought that the other party would open his mouth and ask him for more benefits. But I didn't expect that the other party would put forward such amazing conditions.

This is clearly to take the opportunity to annex Hangzhou and other cities!

Where did they get the courage and appetite to dare to come up with such unrealistic ideas?

Is it true that the army of the Dayue Imperial Court is vegetarian, can they be left to their discretion?

But he wanted to refuse, but he couldn't speak.

Because, in the current situation, there is no room for yourself to say no.

As Mr. Nagano said, the three of them are now at the end of their rope, and it seems that there is no other choice but to turn to these greedy Fuso people.

He has no choice!

"As long as you are willing to agree and sign the note, we can help you save your people within half a month. And then everything else is pretty straightforward."

With that, Nagano picked up the teapot again, poured tea for himself and Ji Ye, and then raised the teacup, waiting for the other party to make a decision.
