Chapter 431: Warlords of the Wa Kingdom
Lu Yun blinked his eyes and asked innocently, "Doesn't eating rice grow your body?" ”
Li Hao was speechless, smacked his lips, and nodded: "There's nothing wrong." ”
Aoki Shinniao went back to meet Aoki Shinbei, and talked about the business with Aoki Shinbei in detail, Aoki Shinbei's eyes lit up after listening, porcelain and grain, he liked it very much, but as soon as he settled the account, he immediately frowned, because although the things sold by Li Hao were good, but when they were added up, they were really expensive.
Aoki Shintori also calmed down and carefully calculated the accounts, and suddenly said that he really needed a lot of money.
After hesitating for a long time, Aoki Shinbei gritted his teeth for the last time, and finally made a decision, the Taidao only needs two thousand handles, and the grain is 10,000 stones, as for ceramics, four, just these, it will take 212,000 taels of silver, although they have silver mines, but they have only been mining silver mines for a year, and the background is not rich, they can't use up all the money at once, after all, they are ambitious people, and they have to think about the future, but they have secretly decided that after this incident, they must go to plunder the government more, And increase the intensity of silver mining to get back the lost money.
An hour later, Aoki Shinniao returned to the hillside and met Lu Yun again, and after meeting, Lu Yun smiled and asked, "Your Excellency Aoki, has you already made a decision?" ”
Aoki Shintori nodded: "Yes, I want to buy 10,000 stone grain, 2,000 swords, and four porcelain used by the Tang Emperor." ”
"Okay, no problem." Lu Yun smiled and nodded, "The grain and porcelain are on the ship, you send someone to the eastern coast tomorrow to carry it, we are not responsible for transporting it, it will cost a lot of money." ”
Aoki Shintori hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can your things be cheaper?" ”
Lu Yun frowned when he heard this, this goods want to bargain? How could it be possible to bargain, so he shook his head and smiled lightly: "Your Excellency Aoki, I might as well tell you frankly that these things can't be sold at this price in Datang, but when it comes to your Fusang, the price will have to rise, because we have invested a lot of money, and we need a lot of money to build a ship, and the cost of each ship is at least 200,000 taels of silver, and we have to take the trouble to transport things to your country. You probably know how dangerous the waves can be at sea. ”
Lu Yun's words were still quite convincing, and Aoki nodded helplessly after hearing this: "Okay, just trade at the price you said before." ”
Lu Yun grinned and said, "That's a total of 212,000 taels of silver, and we only need silver." ”
Aoki Shintori asked, "Can we wait until we get everything before we pay?" ”
"I'm afraid this won't work." Lu Yun shook his head and said, "The principle of our Datang business is to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, if you give 100,000 taels of silver now, you can immediately take away the two thousand Taidao, and when you take the grain and porcelain, you will pay for the grain and porcelain." ”
"Okay, I'll ask my brother to send 100,000 taels of silver." As he spoke, Aoki Shintori said a few words to one of the guards beside him, who was ordered to leave.
The two sides waited here for a long time, and the day was already turning west, and at last they saw several hundred people pushing more than 30 wheelbarrows, each of which had one or two cloth bags on it, and the cloth bags were full of white silver.
The next step was to inspect the money and the goods, and the transaction was completed smoothly, Lu Yun said happily: "Your Excellency Aoki, remember to go to the beach tomorrow to transport grain, and we will go back to the ship first." ”
"Okay, we'll go early tomorrow morning."
The two sides said goodbye, Li Hao and they took 100,000 taels of silver on the ship, these silver are rough processed broken silver, although all kinds of strange shapes, but the condition is not bad, looking at these silver, Li Hao was a little unhappy, holding his chin and sighing: "I finally went to sea for a trip, but I only earned 200,000 taels, so little!" ”
When the others heard his words, their eyebrows twitched, especially Zhu Ruihuan, who whispered to Lu Yun on the side: "Alas, Master, I have a headache when I see the boss pretending to be forced now." ”
Lu Yun said calmly: "You have too little knowledge, and slowly you will get used to it." ”
Li Hao is not pretending, he really thinks that it is a little little, there are still a lot of things left on the ship that have not been sold, especially rice, he brought 100,000 stones, but only sold 10,000 stones.
After being depressed for a moment, Li Hao suddenly said in a loud voice: "That's it, let's go to Huangji and sell things to that mother-in-law, I believe we can make a fortune." ”
At this time, Wang Shi suddenly said: "Lord Wang, we know two good buyers. ”
"Oh?" Li Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Which two buyers?" ”
Wang Shidao: "The Miyamoto family and the Hattori family. ”
"Are these two families very good?" Li Hao frowned and said, "Why haven't I heard of it?" ”
Wang Shidao: "These two families are similar to the existence of the vassal king, the background is very thick, and they have their own power in the local area, the Miyamoto family and the Hattori family have always had a good relationship, the Emperor Huangji was afraid that they would join in rebellion, so he specially rewarded them with a silver mine, and the Miyamoto family and the Hattori family have recently had a lot of disputes because of the interests of the silver mine, I believe that if they continue to make trouble, they may turn their faces." ”
Li Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "How many people are under these two families?" ”
Wang Shidao: "It adds up to about 10,000 people!" ”
"Warlord!" Li Hao's eyebrows fluttered when he heard this, and he excitedly took out the map of the Japanese kingdom, and said, "Great, this is a big customer, come on, come on, tell this king, where are these two families, and when the transaction here is completed, let's go to these two big customers to make money...... Ahh ”
Wang Shi pointed on the map, Li Hao nodded frequently, and he was inexplicably excited when he thought that there were two big customers waiting for him.
Early the next morning, Aoki Shinniao really brought someone to send another 112,000 taels of silver, and the two sides counted the goods, wasting a lot of time, and by the time the transaction was completed, it was already afternoon.
When the money was in hand, hurry up and go to find a big customer, thirteen big ships pulled anchor Yang Fan, slowly left the coast, turned a corner along the coast of the Japanese country, and went around to the west coast of the Japanese country.
After sailing for nearly ten days, the fleet docked again, this time the place where they docked was actually a seaport and cargo terminal, Wang Shi told Li Hao, this piece is the territory of the Miyamoto family, the harbor and wharf are controlled by the Miyamoto family, and there is a harbor wharf twenty miles to the southwest, but there is the territory of the Hattori family, these two families have fleets, and there are maritime trade with several nearby countries, but they do not trade with Datang, because Datang is too far away, and their ships are too small, if you want to go to Datang, you can't meet the wind and waves, Otherwise, a small wind and wave can wipe out their fleet.
Being able to have his own fleet in the Wa Kingdom, it can be seen that the power of the Miyamoto family and the Hattori family is indeed extraordinary, Li Hao knows that he has really met a big customer, in fact, this is not the main reason for his excitement, the main reason for his excitement is because he wants to use these two families to muddy the waters of the Wa Kingdom infinitely, turning the world upside down and out of control.
The dock of the Miyamoto family was guarded, and when he saw Li Hao and their fleet coming, he immediately alarmed the patriarch of the Miyamoto family, Miyamoto Kojiro, Miyamoto Kojiro brought a thousand soldiers and horses to the dock, in case something happened, when he saw Li Hao and their huge Galen ship, his heart was shocked, how much he wanted to have such a huge warship.
Due to Li Hao's sensitive identity, this time he still decided to let Lu Yun come forward, and he pretended to be a bodyguard, and Zhu Rui carried weapons around him, standing behind Lu Yun. ”
Lu Yun is now wearing the standard Tang Dynasty businessman's clothes, and when he saw that Miyamoto took the initiative to greet him, he also stepped forward and saluted with a smile: "The Tang Dynasty businessman has a good way, and he has seen Mr. Miyamoto!" ”
Miyamoto Kojiro was shocked when he heard this, although he had already guessed from Lu Yun's clothes that they might be from the Tang Dynasty, but that was just a guess, and now that it has been confirmed, he is still very surprised, being able to sail here from the Tang Dynasty is not something that ordinary Tang businessmen can do.
"Lusan is polite." Miyamoto Kojiro knows something about the Tang Dynasty, although he doesn't like the Tang people very much, but he also knows that the Tang Dynasty is a very powerful country, and he doesn't dare to offend easily, even if the other party is just a businessman, he doesn't dare to offend, who knows what forces of the Tang Dynasty are standing behind him.
In order to show that he was not hostile, and in order to let Miyamoto Kojiro know his intention as soon as possible, Lu Yun took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Miyamoto, the contemptible people came to the Wa Kingdom from the Tang Dynasty thousands of miles away, in fact, just to do business. ”
"Doing business?" Miyamoto's eyes lit up when he heard this, he knew that Datang was not only powerful, but also rich in land and resources, and there were really countless good things, so he asked, "I don't know what good things Lu Sang brought this time, maybe Kojiro will be interested." ”
"Haha!" Lu Yun laughed when he heard this, and said, "Mr. Miyamoto's name, Lu Mou has heard of it in Datang, and the financial resources of the Miyamoto family are beyond doubt, the reason why Lu is waiting here is to make a trade with Mr. Miyamoto and Mr. Hattori of the Hattori family, if there are no good things, how dare you come!" ”
As soon as Miyamoto Kojiro heard that he was going to trade with the Hattori family, he immediately frowned and was unhappy, why did you land at my dock, and you still want to trade with the people of the Hattori family, which is too shameful for me.
However, I only heard Lu Yun suddenly say again: "Mr. Miyamoto, don't worry, next time, Lu will come with more and better things and land at the dock of the Hattori family, and he will not forget Mr. Miyamoto when the time comes." ”
Okay, Lu Yun wanted a bowl of water, Miyamoto suddenly lost his temper, and the nameless fire that had just been lit was extinguished, but he still said vigilantly: "Lu Sang, you can go ashore to the city without any problems, but you can't bring more than twenty guards, otherwise you won't be able to enter the city." ”
"Understandable." Lu Yun smiled and nodded, "Then bring twenty people, I don't know if Mr. Miyamoto can help guide the way, Lu wants to go to your city to rest." ”
"Lusang, please." Miyamoto gave way, and actually led Lu Yun to the way, a businessman can get such a courtesy from Miyamoto Kojiro, a Japanese ** valve, it can be seen that the prestige of the Tang Dynasty is really extraordinary, of course, the strength shown by Lu Yun's fleet is also a very important factor.
Just when Lu Yun went to the city under the leadership of Miyamoto Kojiro, Hattori Hirakawa, the patriarch of the Hattori family, had already received a report that the Tang merchants had landed at the Miyamoto family dock and were heading to Miyamoto Castle.
