Chapter 352: Talking about conditions
Li Shen knew that the Japanese were still introduced by Qi Jiguang through a video. Anti-Japanese hero, famous military strategist.
Li Shen always thought that the Japanese were only available in the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect them to exist at this time?
Hearing Li Shen's question, the eldest grandson Wuji answered for Li Shimin;
"His Royal Highness King Ji, these Japanese are all Japanese people, and they specialize in robbing passing merchant ships and seaside villages."
"Then did they rob the merchant ships of the Wa Kingdom?" Li Shen asked.
"I really haven't heard of them robbing the merchant ships of the Japanese Kingdom?" The eldest grandson Wuji added.
"Hmph, that's for my Tang Dynasty, it seems that I have to teach them a lesson to make them remember for a long time, this king suspects that these Japanese are sent by some families in the Japanese country,
This is a business without a book, and it is profitable.
They don't rob the Japanese country not because they have national integrity, but because they are afraid that the people who come to my Datang to do business should be important ministers of the court or great families.
They were afraid that others would also rob their merchant ships. Li Shen analyzed.
In fact, this is very easy to guess, and Fang Xuanling and others have long known it. Not everyone can build a ship that can be built across the oceans.
"The ministers have already guessed this, but their numbers are relatively small, and we can't catch them." Fang Xuanling also said.
The point is not to know where they are and where to find them in the vast sea.
"Why are you looking for the Japanese Kou, aren't we going to find their masters? And you don't necessarily have to find their master, there are many ways. ”
"Oh?? His Royal Highness King Ji has any clever plans, you might as well talk about it. Fang Xuanling was interested.
"Actually, it's nothing, this king heard that there are not only pirates along the coast, but also pirates, thieves on the sea. And there's a man who's going to be the King of the Pirates.
Professionally he loves to rob ships, especially the ships of the Japanese Kingdom. Li Shen smiled and hurt each other, and when the time came, the pirates would clean up the pirates. It's exciting to think about.
Everyone didn't understand what Li Shen's words meant, but when they heard the merchant ships that specialized in robbing the Japanese country, they all suddenly realized,
This King Ji wants to force the Wa Kingdom to react, tell the Wa Kingdom that if you rob me, I will rob you.
This trick was also done by Li Shen, and the imperial court would not consider forming a pirate group even if it thought of it.
After all, it has a bad reputation, and the imperial court has formed a pirate group for outsiders to know, so where is the majesty and prestige of the imperial court.
"I think this is a good idea, and let the Japanese people see that we Datang are not vegetarians." Cheng Yanjin agreed.
"Lu Guogong's words are wrong, the pirates are a non-governmental organization of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is also making every effort to encircle and suppress it, what does it have to do with my Tang court? Don't talk nonsense. Li Shen said.
"Uh......" Cheng Yanjin was choked by Li Shen, and he was suddenly speechless.
Isn't this pretending to be confused?
How did he know Li Shen's thoughts, pirates wanted to rob merchant ships, and the goods on merchant ships could be sold for money.
You're going to turn the pirates into a court, so what will happen to the money then. Li Shencai was reluctant to give it to the imperial court.
The others thought that Li Shen wanted to keep the reputation of the imperial court, so they all nodded and agreed;
"Yes, yes, this is a non-governmental organization, and it can't have anything to do with the imperial court."
"That's what I'm saying, the imperial court still has to issue official documents."
Only Li Shimin, who had been silent, began to think deeply about the potential meaning of Li Shen's words. Knowing the son is more than the father, the person who knows you best will never be yourself.
Li Shimin knows Li Shen too well, everything is unprofitable, and he has to think about whether he can squeeze oil out of a stone.
He wouldn't be kind enough to form some pirate group to deal with the Wa Kingdom.
In the end, Li Shimin thought of the issue of pirates robbing the cargo of merchant ships, which is just like what Li Shen just said, it is a business without capital, and it is a million profits.
However, there are so many people here, and Li Shimin is not easy to mention, so he said.
"If there's nothing to do, just do it."
Everyone saw that there was nothing to do, so they didn't stay here and went back to work.
Only the father and son were left.
"Tell me, what is the matter with entering the palace today?" Li Shimin took a sip of tea.
"Aye, I just thought that going to the country to do business can allow Aya to become a shareholder." Li Shen didn't say anything about the Wannian County Order.
"Oh? So how do you get a stake? ”
"Ten million pieces, five parts red."
"Poof" Li Shimin squirted out a mouthful of tea.
"Ten million? You're trying to cheat me out of money again. ”
"How can it be, I also contribute this money, and I have to contribute people and efforts, and the ships are all from me, and I will not agree to other people's 20 million yuan." Li Shen quibbled.
"How could it not, last time in Goguryeo, you said that one person would make a million guan, and the result? What about a million of you? You have made a lot of money with my million. The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more angry he became.
"Aya is different this time, we are going to build a city, the kind with walls, and all the raw materials will have to be transported from our homeland. It will definitely be more expensive. ”
What happened last time really left Li Shen with a bad reputation. So this time it needs to be explained.
"No, 10 million is too much." Li Shimin shook his head, he had finally saved so much money, how could he accept that he was going out for half of it at once.
"Then Aye, you can say how much you can do." Li Shen asked cautiously.
"A million times."
"A million? Impossible~~" Li Shen jumped up, what can you do with a million runs.
"Don't think that I don't know your intentions, you formed a pirate group to rob the caravan of the Wa Kingdom, isn't that money?
I don't want that, I can also cooperate with your pirate group, otherwise what do you think Datang's navy is for? ”
Li Shimin said bluntly, I don't want you to rob the share, and I can cooperate with you, but there is no way to pay.
Li Shen thought about it and finally nodded, but added two more conditions.
"Ayer, a million is fine, but I want two conditions. At that time, you can be given five points of red, and the imperial court can also send troops over that piece of land in the future as an enclave for the Tang Dynasty overseas. ”
Managing a city is not something that only a few people can do, Li Shen has no one else, his people can read and write.
"Let's hear it," Li Shimin did not agree first.
"First, I want a drawing of the ship."
The drawings of the "impossible" building ship cannot be leaked.
"Then give me two head offices, I want a big boat, and it will be convenient to go to sea to catch a fish or something in the future." Li Shen didn't want to get the drawings of the building boat.
It's just that it can be smoother when the conditions are negotiated later. It's just a thing for his craftsmen to copy when the time comes. And it can also be improved according to the building ship.
"Do you use a boat as a pleasure boat? It was a warship. Li Shimin's nose was almost crooked.
(The building ship can go to the ocean, the building ship can go to the ocean, and the building ship can go to the ocean.) Ever went to India through the Strait of Malacca,)
