Confession was a system in which the Tokugawa shogunate controlled the major names.

Each feudal daimyo had to travel to Edo for a period of time each year before returning to their own domains.

The Tsushima clan currently enjoys immunity in this regard.

In other words, there is no need for Munakashi to leave for Edo in April of this year.

The Hirado Domain did not have this privilege, and the lord of the Hirado Domain, Matsuura Zhennobu, was already in Edo at this time.

The most immoral and the wisest part of the pilgrimage is to make the daimyo lose a lot of money during his travels.

After arriving, he brought various businesses to Edo.

The power of the feudal domains was further weakened, and they were unable to compete with the Tokugawa shogunate.

Zong Yicheng thought about it for a moment, if he made trouble, it would indeed be bad for himself.

"Okay, I can make a partial concession and give a percentage of the profits to the Yanagawa clan."

Yanagawa listened to it and felt that it was not enough, and the feudal lord actually took seventy percent!

He was about to speak, but was stopped by his grandfather Yanagawa with a look in his eyes.

"I agree to this agreement, and in the future, I will get a profit from the trade with Yang Xiang."

Liu Chuan is worthy of being an old fox, and he does not let go of the trade with North Korea, and adds a pair of Yang Chengying's trade.

The words are so full that he is afraid that Zong Yicheng will find an excuse to stop him from gaining benefits from trade with the DPRK.

Zong Yicheng hadn't heard it yet, but Uncle Gui Xuanfang had already noticed it.

"What a cunning man!" Gui Bo Xuanfang said to Liu Chuan with an angry face.

Yanagawa smiled slightly, not paying much attention to it.

Yang Chengying smiled: "Isn't it good to make money together?" Do you have to make trouble until everyone can't make money, so you are willing? ”

Only then did Gui Bo Xuanfang put away his hostility a little.

Zong Yicheng sighed and said, "I hope this is the last time." ”

"Rest assured, this is definitely the last time." Yang Chengying smiled and nodded.

According to the law of historical development, when the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate was completely consolidated, the Tsushima domain and the Hirado domain would be cleaned up by the shogunate one by one.

At that time, Yang Chengying would not hesitate to abandon them and lead the fleet to do business with the Tokugawa shogunate.

Now to be a "peacemaker", I just sell personal favors, and by the way, collect some money and calculate the "mediation fee".

Of course, it is also beneficial to put some obstacles in the way of the shogunate and delay their intervention.

The day after the dinner, Yang Chengying sold dozens of boatloads of cloth to the Tsushima Domain.

took the silver, and under the guidance of the diplomatic monk Gui Bo Xuanfang, he went to the Hirado Domain.

The Hirado Domain was the base camp of the Japanese Invaders, and the naval army was quite strong.

With the domination of the shogunate over the country, it gradually became an important base for international trade.

The lord of the Hirado domain, Matsuura Zhennobu, is currently in Edo, and the retainers handle all the affairs of the domain on his behalf.

Therefore, Yang Chengying did not intend to deal with the Tsushima clan according to the rules of the Tsushima domain.

Instead, he asked Gui Bo Xuanfang to represent him first, and first went to the Hirado Domain to talk about trade.

Gui Bo Xuanfang came back from the Hirado Domain, and after making sure that there was no problem, Yang Chengying took Gui Bo Xuanfang to the Hirado Domain again.

Nobutsada Matsuura, the younger brother of the lord of the domain, received Yang Chengying at the castle tower on behalf of the Hirado domain.

There is no way to meet them, they have dozens of warships.

"I've heard for a long time that the lord of the Tsushima domain is doing business with the Ming Kingdom, and now I've finally got the exact news."

Matsuura Nobuzhen smiled: "You came all the way from afar, could it be that you also want to do business with us?" ”

"Of course, and I'm going to do a big deal with you." Yang Chengying said with a smile.

"Oh? Could you please elaborate? ”

"As far as I know, your country has been ordered since the Taige not to associate with Western believers, is there such a thing?"

"Well, there is such a thing."

Matsuura Nobuzhen had already heard Gui Bo Xuanfang mention that Yang Cheng should know everything about the history of the Japanese Kingdom, so he did not hide it.

In fact, this incident did not hit the Hirado clan very hard.

Because the Toyotomi regime quickly dissipated, the Tokugawa shogunate, which replaced it, did not continue to pursue the matter out of considerations.

"Tokugawa took over the world, and the second Tokugawa shogun summoned the daimyo of the whole country at Fushimi Castle in Kyoto and issued the Motowa Decree, a total of thirteen articles, one of which is that from now on, people from other countries are not allowed to associate with people from other countries outside of their own country, right?"

Yang Chengying asked again.

"Exactly, the Yuan and Ling show the law of the martial arts, since the world is peaceful."

The impact of this decree on Hirado was still small.

Like the Tsushima Domain, the Hirado Domain was a place of foreign trade for a long time, and merchant ships came and went frequently. The shogunate was the main window to the outside world, so this article was not enforced against them.

"I remember that before that, in the 10th year of Keichō, the second shogun had issued a 'letter of worship,' which said: 'Since the black ship or the British ship belongs to the same clan as the Bunten, once they land in your domain, they will be transferred to Nagasaki or Hirado, and they will not be allowed to engage in merchant activities in the territory. This matter is decided by the will of the above, and it is hereby announced. ’。 ”

Yang Chengying smiled slightly.

At this moment, apart from shock, it is impossible to describe Matsuura Nobusada's mood at this time.

It can no longer be described as a palm, but as a visceral one.

He was keenly aware that the other party was indeed prepared and should be treated well.

"Your Excellency really understands our situation thoroughly, and I think you must have some advice for me to say this."

Matsuura Nobuzhen kowtowed very regularly and said, "Please give me advice." ”

Yang Chengying waited for him to sit upright, and then said: "This matter is the precursor of the danger of the Matsuura family. From the very beginning of the establishment of the shogunate, a large number of ports were taken into possession, and if you don't move for the time being, you just haven't reached the power level. Excuse me, can you get away with it? ”

"You can't hide, but the shogunate is powerful, and we can't compete with it."

Nobusada Matsuura said helplessly.

The Hirado Domain only had 63,000 koku, which was nothing compared to the shogunate's million koku.

Not to mention, there are other powerful feudal clans around the Hirado Domain.

"There's always a way, it's up to you to listen to it or not." Yang Chengying said with a smile.

Matsuura Nobuzhen originally wanted to ask for advice, but when he heard this, he knew that there was a door, so he hurriedly kowtowed to Yang Chengying again: "I am willing to listen to advice." ”

"I don't dare to give advice, it's a small point."

When Yang Chengying said this, he held his stomach and said that his stomach hurt.

"Where's the latrine?" Yang Chengying asked.

"Quick, send Yang Gong to the toilet."

Matsuura Nobuzhen got up, but was pulled by Yang Chengying.

He immediately understood, and hurriedly said: "How can anyone be qualified for this kind of thing, or I will come." ”

With his support, Yang Chengying walked out of the castle tower. But instead of going to the toilet, he stood in front of the window in the hallway.

"Tell you, the general trend can't be stopped, you must learn to pull the tiger skin to make a banner."

Yang Chengying whispered: "You should take the initiative to report the news of doing business with me to the Tokugawa Shogunate." ”

"Ah, tell the shogunate!"

Nobutasha Matsuura was a little confused.

If you report it to the shogunate, won't you be exposed to all your own things?

It's exposed, how do you do business?
