Wait for everyone to leave, leaving Li Yuanliang behind.

"Is there a branch of ours in Japan?" Chen Zuyi asked.

"Of course there is, wasn't that business the news from the Japanese Foreign School!" Li Yuanliang said lightly.

"Do you have any comments on what I told them just now?"

"The outer hall can also recruit some craftsmen, as well as the eight million taels used for activation, the helper doesn't need to take it out at once, I will ask the helper for instructions when I need it. With the last one million taels, our outer hall has recruited some of the previously dismissed spies, and at the same time bought a small number of generals in the army. ”

"Good! Great job if you need to feel free to talk to me! The silver taels that were realized from the goods of Benkiran last time will be left in the outer hall! ”

"Thank you, Helper! I will ask them to keep a clear account and report it as we go. Li Yuanliang said very seriously, he has been the master of the outer hall for so many years, and only the current Black Shark has the most trust in him. If you treat me as a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman! He didn't say it, but he swore in his heart!

"By the way, what's going on in Japan?"

"According to the news sent by the Japanese branch, now the Ashikaga shogunate and Emperor Komatsu have cooperated to force the southern emperor to abdicate, and the two Zhenguo artifacts have been combined into one, and the Ashikaga shogunate has gradually controlled the entire territory of Japan, and only some princes of the outer islands in the south have not yet surrendered."

"That's easy, when the time comes, let's just go to those small islands and rob those rich people!"

"It's okay, some time ago, the Japanese outer hall also sent a message to say that the daimyo in various places only agreed with the Ashikaga family in writing, but in fact, the status is still equal to the shogunate. Japan may still fall into war, and it is equivalent to the war of our Warring States period! ”

"Oh? That's right! Chen Zuyi remembered that when he watched TV in his previous life, he always said that the Ming Dynasty was the most active period of the Japanese Invaders, and it is estimated that it has something to do with this.

"What do you mean...?" Li Yuanliang looked at the gang leader in confusion.

"If they fall into war, let's rob one big name after another!" Chen Zuyi said with a smile.

"I'll restart all the branches in Japan as soon as possible!" Although Li Yuanliang didn't understand why the gang leader was so keen on robbing Japan, even if the gang leader proposed it, he tried his best to complete it.

"Priority is given to activating every country around the Strait of Malacca, especially the Bo Ni Kingdom, the Majapahit Empire, and the Sriwijaya Kingdom, these three are the focus."

"Well, don't worry, I'll fly the pigeon to pass all the branches today, and I will start it with all my might! We give priority to the three countries that the helper said! Li Yuanliang recorded it carefully with a small book.

Leaving three days to prepare, Chen Zuyi will take Chen Mancang, Meng Chengbi, Hu Sanwa, Datu, and Hajia to set off for Japan. Songhai was left to recruit troops in various places, Lin Xian trained the recruited recruits and presided over the affairs of the gang, and Li Song and Pei Xin were transferred to Swallow Moon Island to garrison. Pei Hsin also has to go to Brunei City to recruit craftsmen. Julu Island was left with only a team of fifty people to guard.

In June of the 29th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (July 1396), Chen Zuyi set out for Japan with five 2,000 warships, ten Mengchong warships, and two cargo ships. One of the cargo ships was loaded with 1.5 million quintals of rice and 50,000 quintals of spices. These are all things that the Black Shark Gang warehouse stockpiled last year, and they will be disposed of and purchased for new rice. The other cargo ship was empty, and it was believed that it would be filled with him on the way.

According to Gaido information, there is a shortage of rice in Japan. Due to the impact of the war between the North and the South, the productivity was very low, which made the lives of the people at the bottom miserable. The only side dishes for a vegetarian meal are miso with soy sauce and pickles made with white radish. In terms of staple food, a small amount of white rice mixed with millet, millet and oats is rice or porridge. Even their samurai festival layers can't eat white rice every day.

The two-month voyage from the Natuna Islands to Japan's southernmost point of Saikaido (present-day the southernmost tip of Kyushu Island) is the most strenuous time.

A month later, halfway through, I encountered a caravan smuggled from Daming. Chen Zuyi unceremoniously plundered the other party, but for the sake of the same root and origin, he did not kill and poke. This time, 10,000 quintals of raw silk and 10,000 quintals of tea were harvested, and when they were shipped to Japan, they changed hands and made a large amount of money.

Chen Zuyi looked at the goods and said to Meng Chengbi: "Zishi, when these things are shipped to Japan, there will be tens of millions of taels of silver, and I am not too embarrassed to continue to rob them!" ”

Meng Chengbi knew that this was a joke, and joked: "If we can rob a caravan full of gold, we can go back to Lombok Island directly!" Who would go so far to rob the widows! ”

For the rest of the time, the Lucky Immortals were not on their side, and they didn't encounter any other caravans along the way. A month later, at the beginning of September of the 29th year of Hongwu, Osumi Castle, the largest city in the Saikaido of Japan's Kyushu Island, was successfully reached, and there were two large cities under the rule of the Saikaido, namely Osumi and Hinata, occupying the southernmost point of the island of Kyushu. The daimyo of Saikaido lived in Osumi Castle. Coincidentally, the daimyo of Saikaido is a member of the Spo family, called Spo Gangsuke.

Chen Zuyi didn't think much about it, he sent a famous post in the name of the prince of Boni, and sent it to the mansion of the daimyo. Half a day later, the Saikaido daimyo Spo Gangsuke sat in a sixteen-person sedan chair and brought more than 100 samurai to the port to greet him. The reason why Spo Gangsuke came in person was because he heard that the prince of Hakumi had brought more than 1 million quintals of rice and 10,000 quintals of raw silk. It's a sought-after thing, and he values it very much. If you can't negotiate the price with the other party, you have to grab it, and he has to grab it!

Chen Zuyi naturally knew that these Japanese people were not easy to get along with, and although Spoogangsuke invited him very sincerely, he never agreed to be a guest at the Daimyo's mansion. The Daimyo of Spoo was also reluctant to board his ship, and the two men had to negotiate the price of the goods in a tax collector's hut in the harbor.

"A load of raw silk is 600 taels of silver, a load of tea is a load of five thousand taels of silver, and a load of rice is five taels of silver. Five hundred taels of spices per load," Chen Zuyi's quotation was quoted according to the price of goods in Japan at that time given by Waitang. However, the price of a large transaction will always be slightly lower.

Spokanosuke shook his head, "Your Royal Highness, your price is too high, I can only accept it, 500 taels of raw silk per load, we don't want tea, three taels of silver per load of rice, spices... We'll talk about that later. What do you think? ”

Chen Zuyi shook his head, "The price of rice cannot be less, 550 taels of raw silk, if it can be delivered immediately!" ”

The Daimyo of Spo thought for a long time, and then nodded his head and agreed, and asked people to go to his mansion to bring silver and gold. Spoogansuke used 5 million taels of silver and 2 million taels of gold to deliver raw silk and rice with Chen Zuyi. In Japan, the ratio of gold to silver is 1:4, that is, one tael of gold for four taels of silver.

Spokaosuke was very painful, this was the savings of most of his life, but with these, he could double the price as soon as he changed hands. If it weren't for the fact that there were many warships and people on the other side, he would have robbed it directly.

After the delivery of the goods and money, Chen Zuyi was about to return to the ship and enter, but was stopped by Spookasuke.

"Your Royal Highness, it is estimated that no one will be able to eat so much of your spices for a while and a half, so it is better to put them here and sell them on consignment!"

"Consignment? No way, we only do cash trading, and if no one asks for it, I can take it to Daming, where people are very fond of spices. Chen Zuyi smiled indifferently, this old devil still wanted to pit his own spices in the end, and he really didn't change his life.

"Oh, that's a shame! I don't have silver or gold anymore, and I wonder if pearls and coral can be compensated? ”

"Pearls have to look at their color! If it's blood coral, we can talk about it. ”

"Your Royal Highness, I think the white coral can be exchanged, isn't it?" Spogon had already received what he desperately needed, and he began to show a malicious expression.

"Humph! The money and goods are cleared, farewell! Chen Zuyi stood up, but was stopped by a warrior beside Spo.

"Sir Spo, can you see how many cannons there are on my fourteen ships?" Chen Zuyi stopped Li Yuanliang, who was about to draw his knife, and the guards, and looked at Sibo Daming with contempt for a greedy look on his face.

Spoogonsuke's face changed, and his smile returned, "Little brother Benkiran, I'm just joking with you, why be angry!" I have red coral, there are a lot of them, wait for me to go back and get them, what do you think? ”

"Yes! I'm waiting for you at the port! After speaking, Chen Zuyi left the hut with a group of guards and returned to the ship. Spokaosuke also left quickly, walking very neatly and cleanly.

"Order, sail!" The guards beside Chen Zuyi ordered.

"Won't the helper wait for that daimyo to come back?" Hu Sanwa asked confusedly, what he had just seen in the crowd what was happening.

"Stupid! Yuan Liang explained it to him! I'll go rest first! Chen Zuyi casually patted Hu Sanwa's head and turned around to walk the helm.

"Brother Yuanliang, what do you say is going on? Didn't you scare that old bastard just now? Why don't you wait for the transaction and leave? ”

"Hmph, scare the fart! That Sipo Daimyo will definitely come with a bunch of samurai, and this is just his excuse to delay us! ”

As he spoke, sixteen large ships began to depart from port. Spookasuke watched them leave the harbor from outside the port, and was so angry that he smashed a teacup from the Ming Dynasty tributary trade, and his heart ached as he looked at the fragments. He waited for his own army to arrive, and not only snatched back all the gold and silver given, but also looted the other party. Just when he was heartbroken and angry, his infantry general Jiro Matsushita arrived with a thousand troops.

"Yaga! Why is it so slow?! "Spokanosuke went up and slapped him loud and hard.

Infantry General Jiro Matsushita stood up straight and lowered his head, as if he couldn't feel the pain on his face, "Hey! Please, Lord Lord, punish you! ”

"It's a pity for those spices and tea! Go back to the barracks! Spokanosuke turned and returned to the sedan chair.

Meng Chengbi and the others looked at the soldiers who were sorting out the gold and silver boxes, "This is more than 10 million taels of silver!" It's so much faster than our desperate robbery! ”

Datu also snorted and said, "Yes, it's a pity that our rice and raw silk are sold out!" These two months of hard work are worth it! ”

"Look at your unproductive appearance! Wait until the evening, let's go back to Osumi Port and get down there for me!" Chen Zuyi sneered.

"And then?" Hu Sanwa asked puzzled.

"And then I'll hang you on the dock! Syllable! Chen Zuyi was so angry with this guy, he was blind before, and he didn't see that this guy was so stupid. Why did you make him the battalion commander!

"Haha~" Everyone laughed, it is also a joy to see this living treasure being taught by the gang leader every day!
