"What? They can get food and weapons, aren't these things contraband, and can't be easily sold to foreigners? When Altan Khan besieged the city of Beijing, wasn't his purpose to open up the door to trade and mutual markets? I remember that there seems to be a misguided Confucian named Yang Jisheng who played "Ten Can't, Five Fallacies" for the sake of his own reputation, and resolutely opposed this matter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 It is ridiculous that for the sake of his own reputation, he completely disregards the safety of the country and society. ”

"It is precisely in this way that this is indeed the misguided behavior of some Confucian scholars above the court, who only think about the name of benevolence and righteousness they have done, and have never thought about what kind of impact such an act will have on the country. Coupled with the rich iron ore resources and a large number of high-quality war horses that the Jianzhou Jurchens already have, in terms of resources, they will not lose to my Daming at all. Once they are unified together, and then choose a Ming unfavorable situation, and swarm, the Ming will fall into a situation from which there will be no return! ”

Kuroda nodded before asking. "Master Qi, in this case, it's actually Da Ming's own problem!"

Qi Ying didn't answer Kuroda Vocational High School's question, but swallowed hard. However, the things above the court are not something he can comment on at all, even his father Qi Jiguang, in front of these Confucian scholars, he is still coming and going, not to mention that he is already a hidden fugitive!

"Then why did you come to the Wa Kingdom from Liaodong?"

"Because I found out that this caravan led by Lord Zhang Jiangfu actually did a big thing?"

"You mean......" Kuroda looked at Qi Ying.

"Yes." Qi Ying nodded in understanding.

"Just that, why did you guess that we did it?"

"Actually, it's a guess."

"Ahh Guess? ”

"Actually, just guess, you're a new caravan, and I've been there for over a year and haven't seen you? And that family was wiped out on the night you came. ”

"Just because of that, it doesn't seem like enough to prove anything!"

"That's true, but I have other reasons and clues, for example, when your caravan just arrived, I happened to meet Master Zhang, I specially checked, your caravan has a lot of goods, and the guards are also very elite, and they look more like soldiers, which means that you are a very powerful force.

And I was in the dark at the time, and I saw that you traded with Tashk that day, and the price of goods you gave Tashke, I also thought it was really very low, although the first transaction, in order to catch up with the line, I hoped to retain a long-term big customer, but it was not a very normal thing to give a discount like that at that time.

And most importantly, I got the news of this incident that night, and at that time I estimated that if it was the murderer who did this, he would definitely not stay here for long, and he would definitely leave here as soon as possible. It turned out that my guess was correct, and before dawn that day, Lord Zhang's caravan was about to leave. ”

"Qi Gongzi is really a tiger father without a dog, thoughtful, and a rare talent! It's just a pity. ”

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that you were born at the wrong time, if it is a time of chaos in the world, Gongzi will inevitably follow Qi Shuai and can become a hero of the left and right world, but unfortunately the Ming Dynasty is chaotic, and there is no country to speak of between the ministers and ministers, and they only think about overthrowing each other, so that Qi Shuai is forced to give up Gongzi outside."

"Kuroda-sama is serious, in fact, such a kid thinks it's good."

"What do you mean by Lord Qi?"

"First, I have completed my mission in Liaodong, there is no need to spend any longer, and if I stay too long, I may be discovered by the imperial court; Second, his father has been committed to sweeping away the coastal chaos, and the boy has been here for three years, which can be regarded as helping his father do something. ”

"Oh! Sent back some information, right? ”

"How can I say it, the intelligence is not counted, it can only be regarded as some understanding of the Japanese country! For example, the people of the Japanese country are more tenacious than the people of the Ming Dynasty, which may be related to the perennial wars here and the suffering of the people, if you want to survive, you must have an extremely strong sense of patience, and you must be able to accept more difficult and worse living conditions. ”

"That's right, the people here are, to a certain extent, harder than the people of the Ming Dynasty. Do you know the tax policy here? Kuroda asked.

"I really haven't learned about this yet."

"For the common people, in other famous families, the proportion of a year's harvest is six dukes and four people, which means that sixty percent must be handed over to the lord."

"Sixty percent! This...... It's really ......" Qi Ying couldn't go on in surprise.

"I know that the tax of the Ming Dynasty, in the early years of the founding of the country, was set at a ratio of twenty taxes and one, in fact, most regions now, it is impossible to maintain such a low tax rate, such as Sichuan, Shaanxi twenty taxes four or five, and the Jiangnan area is higher."

"But the people of the Ming Kingdom still have to face all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes."

"The people of our country also have to face all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and they may even end up working for a year, and they will not get anything."

"And what is the tax rate here?"

"Five public and five people, basically there are no other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes." Kuroda said.

"Your Excellency is so merciful!"

"Let's not talk about that, let's talk about what you know!"

"No, for example, the ronins of the Wa Kingdom generally have a certain foundation in martial arts, and the moves are practical, all of them are killing moves on the battlefield, unlike the fancy tricks that many military attaches in the Ming Dynasty learned. So under normal circumstances, the personal combat effectiveness of the Wa Ronin samurai is very good, and if you fight alone, even if you are the military attache of my Ming Dynasty, you don't have any advantage.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment used by the soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom are also very different from those of my Ming Dynasty, for example, accompanied by Lord Zhang Jiangfu, I saw the katana produced by your Kuroda family and the spears used by ordinary soldiers, and the quality is very good. Master Zhang Jiangfu also introduced Master Li Sanbao to the boy, and asked about the production process of some Japanese weapons, as well as some recipes and materials, which have helped his father. ”

Kuroda Vocational High School did not have much thought about transmitting the casting technology of the Kuroda family back to the Ming Kingdom, and it seemed that Qi Jiguang had materialized these technologies and installed them in his army, and even promoted them to other armies of the Ming Kingdom. Anyway, he won't attack Ming or Stick Garbage Country in the future, and there should be no chance of a head-on conflict with Ming.
