I can't help but say that luck is an excellent thing. Because he wanted to intercept the Ningbo maritime merchants who went to sea from Zhoushan, Chen Yue set off with the fleet more than ten days late, but he also escaped a catastrophic hurricane and came to the country smoothly.

Fu Chunjiu has not been out to sea for a long time, and he is not familiar with the current market of the Japanese Kingdom, but there are Guo Linfeng, Sima Nan and other shipowners in the fleet, and these people are used to the routes of the Japanese Kingdom.

Guo Linfeng told Chen Yue that since a few decades ago, Toyotomi Hideyoshi led the Japanese army to attack Korea and was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese country has been in great turmoil, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's subordinate Tokugawa Ieyasu formed a shogunate and controlled the Japanese regime, and the current Japanese shogunate implements a policy of closing the country, only opening a port in Nagasaki for foreign trade, and the object of trade is limited to Ming merchants and the Dutch, such as what Portuguese, Spanish and English are all prohibited from trading with the Japanese state.

"Before the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, trade was still carried out on Hirado Island, and in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the Tokugawa shogunate ordered that the trading port be moved to the port of Nagasaki. The Ming merchants who came to the Wa Kingdom were divided into Fujian merchants and Zhejiang merchants, and the Fujian merchants were mainly based on the Zheng family. And our Zhejiang businessmen are divided into Shaoxing Gang and Ningbo Gang, but with your appearance, you will no longer have any Ningbo Gang Shaoxing Gang in the year. Guo Linfeng sighed. The maritime merchants of Ningbo and Shaoxing were almost hit by Chen Yue's net, and even if there were a few fish left that slipped through the net, it would not be a climate.

"The Wakoku shogunate opened a 'Karajin Yashiki' near the port of Nagasaki, which was specially used by those of us who came to trade with the Wakoku country. However, most of the Zheng family and Fujian merchants live on the five islands, and only our Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce chooses to live in Nagasaki Port. Originally, the Yang family and the Tu family had special residences in Nagasaki, and they also had special people to stay in Nagasaki to welcome the arrival of their caravans. But now ......"

Guo Linfeng didn't say any more, Chen Yue also knew what he meant, the Yang family's butcher and other people who stayed in Nagasaki couldn't see their own people coming, and the goods were robbed by Zhoushan, once the matter came out, there might be other troubles.

"I'm afraid, how can the matter of our ship robbery spread to the Wa Kingdom, Yang Wenqing's gang are all detained in Zhoushan, how big a wave can a few miscellaneous fish left in this Wa Country make!" Fu Chun said disdainfully. There were 2,000 crew members and troops on board, so even the Matsuura family, the daimyo of the Nagasaki Domain, could fight together, so there was no need to be afraid.

Chen Yue nodded, agreeing with Fu Chun's words.

Standing at the bow of the ship, watching the port get closer and closer, several Japanese boats greeted him, and after some interrogation, led the fleet into the port.

And on the port, there are a lot of people looking forward to it. The bald haired merchants in silk robes, the barefoot Japanese coolies, and the heavy makeup and light Japanese prostitutes in bright kimonos stunned everyone on board.

Fu Chun and Wu Ping took Guo Linfeng, who could speak Japanese on the ship, ashore to negotiate with the shogunate officials who managed the port, and the fleet was quietly moored in the port.

This year, there were too few Ming ships, and the goods they brought were far from meeting the needs of the Japanese country, and the Japanese side had long been looking forward to the follow-up ships. Although the fleet that came had never heard of the Qiyun firm that came for the first time, the officials of the Japanese state did not make it difficult at all, and quickly went through the procedures for entering the port for trade, and even allocated a large area of houses for the Qiyun firm to use, of course, to collect rent.

"Brother Lin Feng, is that you?" When a few people came out of the Yamen of the port management of the Japanese State, they saw a large number of Japanese merchants gathered outside, all of whom were greeting each other in the Japanese language or Da Ming dialect. One of them even shouted Guo Linfeng's name.

Guo Linfeng turned his head to look, his eyes froze, and he recognized that the person was the person left by the Ningbo Yang family in Nagasaki. Due to the perennial trade with the Japanese country, the Yang family bought a house and shop in Nagasaki Port, leaving manpower as a station in Nagasaki, and this person is the person left by the Yang family in Nagasaki.

Shouting Guo Linfeng's name, this person squeezed into the crowd.

"Brother Lin Feng, I'm Yang Bin, why did our merchant ship come so late? Is it still the son of Wenqing? Yang Bin's series of questions made Guo Linfeng embarrassed.

"What Gongzi Wenqing, Gongzi Wuqing, Guo Linfeng is now working for Gongzi Chen of Zhoushan!" didn't want Guo Linfeng to be embarrassed, Fu Chun replied on the side.

"Zhoushan Chen Gongzi?" Yang Bin blinked, not understanding what he meant.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are Zhoushan Qiyun firm, we have just arrived today, we need to settle down first, if you want to talk about business, please come back another day!" Frowning at the messy people around him, Fu Chun shouted loudly. An interpreter translated his words, and the people around him fell silent.

"Brother Lin Feng, what do you mean, what Zhoushan Chen Gongzi?" Yang Bin still didn't let go of Guo Linfeng and asked, the Yang family's sea boat had not arrived, which made him anxious.

"I won't do it with your Yang family now, I will follow Zhoushan Chen Gongzi, it's as simple as that." Guo Linfeng pushed Yang Bin's hand away.

"Ah, what about my ship, what about Gongzi Wenqing?" Yang Bin asked.

"Your ship may be behind, or it may be ...... This time the hurricane was so strong that too many ships were destroyed by the hurricane, and our fleet set off after the hurricane and came to Nagasaki safely. Guo Linfeng explained a few words, followed Fu Chun and walked out, leaving only Yang Bin in shock.

The goods were too important, so the ship stopped in the port and waited for the goods to be unloaded after the transaction, Chen Yue arranged for everyone to be divided into two groups, taking turns to guard, and he took some people ashore into the rented house.

Before they could settle down, there were many Japanese merchants who came to visit with their posts. Chen Yue asked Fu Chun, Guo Linfeng, and Wu Ping to be in charge of the reception, and sent Sima Nan and others to understand the market. He must first understand this year's market before deciding on subsequent transactions.

The hurricane before departure, coupled with the unexpected enthusiasm of the Japanese merchants, made Chen Yue thoughtful.

Sure enough, Sima Nan came back soon with people and told Chen Yue that there were very few merchant ships from Daming this year, and even with the addition of Qiyun, the twenty-three sea ships were less than fifty, only half of those of previous years.

"In other words, our more than 20 merchant ships account for half of all the merchant ships that come to the country?" Chen Yue asked in shock.

"That's the case, Grandpa Guo, let's send it!" Sima Nan said excitedly.

The fewer merchant ships that come to the Japanese country, the less goods they carry, which will inevitably lead to higher prices and more money, and this principle can be shared by everyone.

"Hahahaha......" Chen Yue laughed happily, a hurricane had such a big effect, God really favored him!

"Brother Sima, please find out the prices of the various goods that appear in Nagasaki City, so that we can work out trade countermeasures."
