Zhen Qian rubbed his sore temples, Zhen San is getting more and more difficult to deal with now, not only discussing the issue of dynamic balance with himself, but also discovering what kind of lubricating oil and rubber popped up by accident in his words, and he had the posture of breaking the casserole to ask the end, and was finally driven out of the study by Zhen Qian impatiently.

"If you ask again, the little pride in Lao Tzu's stomach has been hollowed out by you."

Nagasaki Town, Hizen Province, Wakoku Province.

"Tsk! The leased area is really good, I am afraid that in the future, the maritime merchants will ask to set up their own liaison offices in the leased area, and our four major scholars in the southeast cannot be willing to be left behind! ”

After the fleet of the four major scholars in the southeast came to Nagasaki Town from the Wufeng Islands, they found that it had begun to take shape, not only the Tang merchants who came with Zhen Qian at the beginning, but also left many domestic servants to continue to take care of it when they returned to the Tang Dynasty, and later some merchants from Silla and Bohai also purchased land in the leased area and built their own residences and warehouses.

After Zhen Qian left the Japanese country, Fujiwara Shuxiong did not immediately betray his promise, and turned his face to cancel the plan of the Nagasaki Lease Zone, and now the Lease Area is a hen that lays golden eggs in Fujiwara Shuxiong's hands.

"It's a pity that we're late, and I don't know what happened to Zhen Qian when he fell into the hands of pirates?" Zhu Yan sighed.

Although the crystal pieces needed were purchased in the Wufeng Islands, everyone knew that if they wanted more crystal pieces, they had to talk to Zhen Qian.

But after coming to Nagasaki Town, I learned that Zhen Qian was attacked by a group of pirates on the way back to China, and now his life and death are unknown.

"This area should be the sphere of influence of the pirate Nine Ghost Jialong, I heard that this person is extremely ferocious, and he has a life-and-death enmity with Zhen Qian, I'm afraid this time there will be more than lucky?"

"Heaven is jealous of talents, we are waiting for it to sigh!"

Gu Liang tasted the tea, his eyes were dripping, as if he was thinking about something, and he bowed his head for a long time and was silent.

"Don't talk about that!" Zhang Heng said indifferently: "What does Zhen Qian's life and death have to do with us, now we need to think about whether to buy a piece of land in Nagasaki Town to establish our contact point, or find another port to negotiate our own lease area with the Guardian of the Japanese Kingdom?" ”

After all, the leased area of Nagasaki Town was a port leased by merchants such as Zhen Qian and Yangzhou Huainan, and these four great scholars in the southeast were arrogant, believing that they could also lease a piece of land in the Wa Kingdom with their own family power as an independent lease area for the four major families.

In the eyes of these scholars, the Wa Kingdom is not a matter of concern at all, but it has countless excellent ports, and it is not a big deal to want to lease one.

"Hmmm! Yes, but you seem to have forgotten something? Lu Ming said with a disdainful face: "With our four major clans renting a port in the Wa Kingdom, there is no problem at all, but don't you know that now the Wa civil strife is not stopping, the princes are fighting each other, the wind and rain are shaking everywhere, and the thieves are taking the opportunity to make trouble, even if Nagasaki Town is here, if it were not for Fujiwara Shuxiong to send troops to defend it, I am afraid it would have been captured by the rebels a long time ago!" ”

These wealthy families feel that they are superior, and Nagasaki Town is not their own territory, so they really don't want to get along with these lowly businessmen.

Zhang Heng rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Lu said lightly, should we go home empty-handed this time?" ”

This time, the four major scholars in the southeast came to the country with confidence, but they brought thirteen ships, but they did not expect that the civil strife in the country would naturally wither the business, and the price would be three or four percent lower than expected, and they were a little reluctant.

If you bring these goods back to Datang, it is obviously unrealistic, and the cost of this round trip will scare people to death, otherwise, Tang merchants don't have to look at the faces of the Japanese merchants. Then you can only rent a port in the Wa Kingdom and temporarily put the goods that you have not sold in the Wa Kingdom. This raises the question, where to put the goods? The answer, of course, is that Nagasaki Town is the most convenient ......!

The southeastern scholars want to be faced, bow their heads to a group of businessmen, they can't do it!

Even the stewards of the four major clans in the southeast are also arrogant, if they open their mouths to ask Zhen Qian, it doesn't matter if they pay some money, the other party is an official or not.

"The timing of this visit to the Wa Kingdom is not right", Zhu Yan said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid that the fire at the city gate will affect the pond fish, and I have heard a lot of news in the past few days, including the secret ...... about the war between Hizen and Saikaido." ”

"Ugh! Tell me about it? ”

Zhu Yan said with some gossip: "The former guardian of Hizen Country was not Fujiwara Shuxiong, he was one of the members of the Tang envoy sent last time, and unfortunately he encountered a storm when he returned home, and he happened to go ashore here in Hizen Country. The original Hizen country guarded the young two Dongshang, and we still had a relationship with him, so the two fought, and as a result, the young two Dongshang was defeated and fled to the Hyuga country, and later borrowed troops from the Hyuga country and the Satsuma country and occupied the ...... of Osumi country. ”

The other three people all listened to the brainache, this Japanese country has the habit of infighting!

"Doesn't the court just ask?"

"I want to take care of it...... If only I could manage it! At this time, Gu Liang said: "The Wa Kingdom is different from the Tang Dynasty, all parts of the country are equivalent to large and small vassal states, and the imperial court is controlled by the four major families, restraining each other, shirking the skin, usually as long as there is no rebellion, the battle between the vassal states is to turn a blind eye, especially here in Xikaidao, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the internal fighting is even more powerful, and the grudges between each other have long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, how do you say it!" ”

A few people smashed their mouths, and they didn't care about a small country like the Wa Kingdom, although they had also traveled to the Wa Kingdom before, but they really couldn't lift their spirits about the rotten things of the Wa Kingdom.

But now that there is civil strife in Saikaido, the four of them can't care if they don't want to.

"Doesn't that mean that Nagasaki is not safe anymore?" Zhang Heng said worriedly.

The other three were silent, this is really hard to say, no one dares to guarantee that the goods will be foolproof if they stay in Nagasaki Town, in case of a chaotic army breaking in, it is hundreds of thousands of goods, and no one dares to take this responsibility.

At this time, Gu Liang spoke: "Why don't we go to Silla Country for a trip?" ”

The eyes of the three of them lit up, and the country of Wa was separated from Silla by a strait, and the distance back and forth would increase by more than half a month. Now that there is civil strife in the Japanese country, there is no civil strife in Silla country, anyway, it is all about business, and it is not the same where to do business.

The four of them made up their minds that the business of this country could not be done for the time being, and it was even more unsafe to stay here, so they hurriedly sold some goods with good prices in their hands and headed for Silla with the fleet. Unbeknownst to him, at this time, the Silla Kingdom had launched a surprise attack on the Japanese Tsushima Island, and 50,000 Silla soldiers landed on Tsushima Island on thousands of large and small warships, and defeated more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers on Tsushima Island. Fujiwara Nakamaro was shocked, and immediately dispatched 500 warships and 30,000 Japanese soldiers from Shimonoseki to aid Iki Island, and a major battle between the two sides was about to break out.
