"You only know one thing, but you don't know the other."

Yang Chengying said: "Will the shogunate immediately embarrass you because you are doing business with me?" No! If you do, you don't have to wait until now. ”

"But if I report it to the shogunate, they will definitely come to investigate. When the time comes, it will be difficult for me to be safe here. ”

Nobusada Matsuura said worriedly.

The Hirado clan was most afraid of the shogunate coming to check the accounts, because they monopolized trade with the Netherlands, and they also engaged in overseas trade with other Nanban countries, and they were very rich.

As long as you check it, the shogunate will not be red-eyed when it sees so much money.

"You have to take the initiative into your own hands."

Yang Chengying said: "The shogunate will not move you now, and when you send people here, you are afraid that you will have less means to deal with it, and the key is not this." ”

"Where is it?" Nobusada Matsuura asked hurriedly.

"Of course, I took the opportunity to report to the shogunate to let the nobles of Kyoto and Edo know that you have high-quality python satin, and they all came to you to buy it." Yang Chengying said.

This practice is similar to the propaganda of later generations, that is, under the banner of reporting to the shogunate, by the way, telling the nobles that I am here from the Ming Kingdom python satin to solicit buyers.

The shogunate's position is not yet secure, and it will certainly turn a blind eye to such a thing.

As a qualified business-oriented lord, Matsuura Nobutada was keenly aware of the hidden windfall profits and began to think about whether it was worth doing.

"When the shogunate really uses a knife against you, don't you still have Tang ships to trade." Yang Cheng should be kind and persuasive.

In Tokugawa Hidetada's "Bongshu", it is said that Tang ships are not subject to such restrictions.

In the final analysis, the Shogunate wanted to attack the Kishitan Daimyo and maintain its rule.

Doing business with the Ming State does not hinder their rule. And the spread of the Christians has had a serious impact.

Matsuura Nobuzhen thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, just do what you say, I will buy the python satin you brought at a high price." Some of them were dedicated to the shogunate, and the other part was sold for sale. ”

Yang Chengying nodded with a smile.

In the future, the Hirado clan will only be able to trade with him, and he will be able to control it easily.

Coming in from the outside, Yang Chengying and Nobusada Matsuura returned to their seats.

Yang Chengying said in a deep voice: "From now on, the Hirado Domain and I are trading partners. I hope you will abide by the basic rules of doing business, and don't let people beat me about the idea of merchant ships. ”

"Don't worry, I'll be very careful." Nobusada Matsuura said with a smile.

He knew very well in his heart that if he didn't abide by this principle, the dozens of warships under Yang Chengying's command would not be a joke.

"Okay, raise a glass, for our first cooperation, drink this cup."

Yang Chengying raised the wine plate and drank with everyone in the castle tower.

They all drank happily, but Uncle Gui Xuanfang was worried.

He always felt that Yang Chengying should cooperate with the peace domain and would be detrimental to his own domain.

However, if you have the strength to speak, you will be hard. If you have an unpleasant quarrel with Yang Chengying, it will lead to an attack on Tsushima.

The shogunate was happy to see the Tsushima clan weakened, and it was certainly not going to come to the aid immediately.

The point is that you can't beat it.

Uncle Gui thought that this matter could only be like this for the time being, and he would talk about it later if something happened.

Early the next morning, Yang Chengying felt that he had come to the Hirado Domain for the first time, and he should go out to have a look.

So, he asked Ning Wan and me and the children of the ancestral family to go to the market together.

I have to say that the strength of the Hirado Domain has developed over the years, and it is indeed good.

The port was a thriving trade, with people of all colors shuttling throughout.

Compared with them, Yang Chengying and his party from the Ming Kingdom are not special.

As he was walking, he was greeted by a tall young man with a Chinese face.

Looking at his demeanor, he knew that he was coming for the big handsome, Zu Zerun and the others immediately became vigilant and stood in front of Yang Chengying.

The young man stopped five steps away, clasped his fists and said, "May I ask you are Yang Chengying Yang Zongbing?" ”

"It's me, what are the feet?" Yang Chengying asked.

"It's not worth mentioning in the lower name, but the father-in-law in the lower wants to see you, I don't know if your Excellency can condescend to the door to see his old man."

Before the words fell, he was reprimanded by Wu Sangui: "How can this be true!" Since Father Er's father wants to see the handsome man of my family, he should go to the house to ask to see him, how can there be any reason to let the handsome go to your house! ”

The young man smiled awkwardly and said, "It was not difficult to meet at the Great Marshal's Mansion. It's just that there are some obstacles in this, and it's hard to explain it clearly at your residence. ”

"In that case, I'll go to your house."

Yang Chengying said with a smile.

"Dashuai!" Shen Zhixiang wanted to open his mouth to persuade, but was stopped by Yang Chengying raising his hand.

The young man was deeply grateful, and then led the way.

Yang Chengying naturally led people to follow him and went to the place of the young father-in-law.

After walking a few steps, Zu Kefa reminded in a low voice: "Dashuai, someone is following us." ”

"Could it be from the Hirado Domain?" Wu Sangui guessed in a low voice.

"Quite possibly." Yang Chengying smiled slightly, "It seems that the person we visited is not small." ”

Wu Sangui hurriedly asked: "What should I do, do you want us to turn the people who are following you?" ”

Yang Chengying raised his hand to stop: "Don't startle the snake, let's pretend not to be found and follow the young man." ”

Wu Sangui and the others looked at each other, pretending that no one had noticed, and continued to walk.

Soon, I came to a larger mansion.

Yang Chengying looked up and saw that the plaque of the mansion read "Li Mansion".

In the Hirado Domain, the surname is Li again, is it ...... Rivals!

With this doubt, Yang Chengying followed the young man into the mansion and came to the main hall.

An old man walked out from behind on crutches: "Yang Shuai, I haven't seen you for many years, but your demeanor is still the same." ”

That's what the other party said, but Yang Chengying didn't remember knowing the other party.

And being able to say "I haven't seen you for many years" means that you have still dealt with it.

Then it must be that person!

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "Gong Li, although you and I have never had the opportunity to meet, we have also been friends for a long time. ”

"Haha......" the old man laughed, "I didn't expect that I hadn't reported myself yet, and the handsome man had already guessed which one I was!" ”

Yang Chengying also smiled: "The famous Jiabidan, how could I not know it." It's not just me, but the sailors under my command have had a few unpleasant experiences. ”

"That's all in the past, I've prepared a little wine in the living room, I don't know if I'm willing to enjoy it?"

"Thank you Gong Li, since I came here, I naturally want to eat this bowl of rice."

"Please." The old man led the way with the support of the young man.

Yang Chengying said "please", and then walked side by side with the old man on the road to the living room.

The old man said with appreciation: "The handsome man knows my details, but he still dares to eat my wine here, this courage is indeed different." ”

"One yard to one yard, when I get to the sea and encounter the fleet under my feet, I will still fire mercilessly!"

Yang Chengying didn't give any face.

The old man was not angry, but said lightly: "When the time comes, I am willing to accompany you to the end!" ”

So who is this old man surnamed Li? What is the relationship with Yang Chengying? Let's see the next breakdown.
