Wu Nian put aside the Jingji snow and stood under the porch, waiting for Li Tianbao to arrive.

"General. Are you looking for me? After a long time, Li Tianbao, who was sweating profusely, walked along the corridor, stood still and bent down to salute.

"A Fuso woman named Kyogoku Yukiri came to see me. Do you know the Kyogoku family in Fuso? Wu Nian nodded slightly, picked up the cloth towel on the plate in his hand, and handed it to Li Tianbao.

"Kyogoku? Is there a prayer post? Li Tianbao's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he asked while reaching out to take the cloth towel.

"Yes." Wu Nian turned around and took the prayer post and handed it to Li Tianbao. Li Tianbao wiped his sweat casually, put the cloth towel back on the plate, took the prayer post with both hands, and carefully looked at the family pattern on it.

"It's really the Kyogoku family. This is a very influential family in Fuso. In particular, the business at sea is very large. ”

Li Tianbao closed the salute and showed a thoughtful look on his face. Said seriously: "But the general. She's not necessarily here to do business with you. ”

"That's what I thought, too. Just to do business, you don't need to come to me at all. I don't kill merchants. Wu Nian nodded, then stretched out his hand to signal, turned around and entered the hall.

The two sat down separately, and their own soldiers walked in with steaming teacups.

"Tell me more about this Kyogoku family." Wu Nian picked up the teacup and blew a few breaths before taking a sip of tea.

"Hmm." Li Tianbao snorted, and after combing through the news he knew in his mind, he told Wu Nian.

"Soilless daimyo? Do they want land? Did you come to me because you took a fancy to my strong soldiers? But it can't be. My soldiers and horses still have to deal with the Mengyuan people and Xiong Wuself, and the navy has not been built. I can't interfere in Fuso's domestic affairs at all. ”

Wu Nian frowned, puzzled.

"The general is right. Unless you dominate Liaodong and drive out the Mengyuan people, you will have the strength to spare. And. Now in Fuso, the position of the Toyotomi shogunate has been consolidated. It's not something that an outside force can insert. If you intervene sideways, I'm afraid you will be blocked by the Toyotomi shogunate. ”

Li Tianbao nodded and said euphemistically.

Although the Japanese samurai fought head-on was much worse, the terrain of Fuso was dominated by mountains and forests. You're welcome. Even if Wu Nian unified Liaodong and sent a force of 10,000 households into Fuso, the lone army went deeper, it was just the fat of the Toyotomi shogunate.

The two of them discussed for a long time, and they didn't guess the intention of Kyogoku Yukiri.

"Forget it. It's useless to think about it, just go and meet this woman. Wu Nian shook his head, then looked at Li Tianbao's clothes, also looked at himself, and said with a smile: "But don't worry. Let's take a shower and change clothes first. ”

"Yes." Li Tianbao nodded yes.

The two took a cold shower in the house and changed into a set of clothes. Wu Nian was in front, Li Tianbao was holding the hilt of the knife at his waist behind, and he was followed by two teams of personal soldiers.

The people were neat and came to the living room.

The soldiers stopped at the gate, and Wu Nian and Li Tianbao walked in.

Wu Nian looked at the face and figure in the Jingji snow, his gaze froze for a moment, and then he retracted it, and calmly came to the main seat of the Taishi chair and sat down.

Li Tianbao's eyes flashed with amazement, and he looked at it twice before retracting his gaze, and came to Wu Nian's right hand to stand with a knife, as if he was a guard.

"I am Wu Nian. This is my Thousand Households [Sea Dragon King] Li Tianbao. Wu Nian first introduced himself and Li Tianbao, and then looked up at Kyogoku Yukiri and said, "Miss Kyogoku." I'm a cheerful person, so I went straight in. You and I have never known each other, and you suddenly came to me, is there anything wrong? ”

Kyogoku Yukiri is dressed the same as in the restaurant, but after a bath and a different set of kimonos, her skin looks like a shelled egg, delicate and fair.

She sat in the right row of Taishi chairs, and behind her stood Sosuke Kitahara.

"General Wu. First of all. I apologize for my hasty visit. Kyogoku Yukiri stood up, bowed deeply, and said.

After straightening up her waist and abdomen, Kyogoku Yukiri said, "There are two things. ”

"First. I heard about the lack of military for the generals. I specially sent 5,000 taels of silver as military funds. ”

"Second. Please allow the Kyogoku family to do ginseng, Dongzhu, and copper mining business in Liaodong. ”

Wu Nian and Li Tianbao's eyes flickered, giving gifts and doing business? So simple?

After thinking for a while, Wu Nian waved his hand and said, "Miss Jingji doesn't need to stand and talk, please take a seat." ”

Hearing this, Kyogoku Yuri first bowed to Wu Nianyi, and then sat down softly.

Only then did Wu Nian speak again: "The Jingji family wants to come to Liaodong to do business, and I welcome it." I, the General of the Han Dynasty, treat every honest businessman well. Merchants of the Chu State, Goguryeo merchants, and Fusang merchants. Dongzhu and ginseng are private trades, and I don't interfere with them. ”

"And the copper mines. It can make copper coins. At present, all the copper mines in Yingqing Province and Gwangcheon Province are controlled by the Fuhan General's Office. I'm a rough guy and don't care. If the young lady wants to discuss business, she can go to Yingqing Mansion. Go to find Liu Zhixing, the general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty. He will negotiate with you. ”

Wu Nian put on a businesslike posture, and after finishing speaking, he said with a smile: "As for five thousand taels of silver." Miss Kyogoku, let's take it back with you. ”

"Tell Miss Kyogoku. I can accept the five thousand taels of silver without blinking an eye, and then I won't give you any preferential treatment at all. ”

Are you kidding?

Wu Nian is rushing to fight for hegemony. That is, the world.

To put it mildly, his first step was to want this Liaodong. How could it be possible to receive five thousand taels of silver and give Kyogoku Yukiri preferential treatment?

Money doesn't blow in the wind. Kyogoku Yukiri gave away five thousand taels of silver today, which proves that she wants more in return.

Kitahara Sosuke's eyes flickered, and he took a deep look at Wu Nian. I was said by the young lady. Wu Nian has a reputation for being lustful, but he is not a person who covets beauty. When I came in, I only glanced at the young lady.

I don't want the silver of the white flowers given by the lady.

Liaodong Tigers, sure enough, have a deeper pursuit than the pursuit of beauty.

Mighty guy.

"Then ask General Wu to accept five thousand taels of silver happily. I genuinely support the general and don't ask for anything in return. Kyogoku Yukiri bowed lightly, and her little face was full of sincerity.

"And that kind of thing?" Wu Nian narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but move.

This is what you said without asking for anything in return, don't ask me for it when the time comes, I won't do it for you. You say I don't do anything with money.

Five thousand taels of silver, which is not a small amount. The Mengyuan people retreated from Guangchuan Mansion and emptied all the treasury and grain, and now Wu Nian is poor.

"Good. Since you said so, Miss Kyogoku. Then I'll take it. Wu Nian said simply. Then he squinted his eyes and asked, "Miss Kyogoku wants to do a copper mining business." What to buy? ”

"Silver, gold is fine." Kyogoku Yukiri smiled and said softly.

"You lack copper in Fuso?" Wu Nian's eyes flickered.

"In fact, there is a lack of everything. For example, the beautiful silk, porcelain, and scrolls of the Chu State. In Fuso are in short supply. And in terms of ore. Our gold and silver, especially silver, are worthless. Instead, there is a lack of copper ore. At present, a large part of the copper coins in circulation in our country are Chu copper coins. ”

Kyogoku Yukiri smiled even more.

Wu Nian was silent for a moment before he said, "I see. For me, five thousand taels of silver is a huge sum of money that is enough to make my heart flutter. And for Miss Kyogoku, it was "worthless". ”

Of course, Wu Nian just made a small joke. How can silver really not be worth much? It's just that in Fuso, its value is relatively low.

And that's a huge business opportunity.

The copper ore produced in Liaodong was exchanged for silver produced in Fusang.

A shipload should make a lot of silver.

In the era when there was no currency. Wu Nian can't use the [thing] of money to calculate how much he can earn.

But it's certain that you can make money.
