As the eldest of the three families and the one with the greatest nominal inheritance, Tokugawa Yoshinao, although he disguised it well, was still noticed by Tokugawa Iemitsu in his decades of observation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Obviously, the name of the king is false, and it is true that the emperor and Tokugawa Iemitsu will lose the battle.

But...... Where is the matter of the competition between the snipe and the clam and the profit of the fisherman so well promoted? Neither Tokugawa Iemitsu, Masahito, nor Zhu Tzuhong are fools.

In front of the three wise people, if you want the fisherman to profit, you are playing with fire. If you are not careful, you can only set yourself on fire, and stealing chickens will not make you lose a handful of rice.

It's no wonder that Tokugawa Iemitsu looks down on Tokugawa Yoshinao, after decades of understanding, he knows very well that Tokugawa Yoshinao does not have the ability to play with fire.

Listening to Tokugawa Iemitsu's disdain for Tokugawa Yoshinao, Awan chuckled in a low voice and looked at Tokugawa Iemitsu with adoring eyes, but did not make a comment.

Tokugawa Iemitsu looks very proud, and being adored in front of his beloved, no matter who he is, he can't help but be happy.

At this time, the waiter rumored that Sakai Tadashi asked to see him.

Awan bowed and retreated, and Tokugawa Iemitsu stood up and saw Sakai Tadakatsu.

Sakai Tadashi, who is the same age as Lin Luoshan, is not young, and he doesn't go out often, and he belongs to that kind of heavyweight old minister.

"Congratulations to the general, good news from Ueno Shinooka. This time, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom came here, obviously with great goodwill. Tadashi Sakai said with a smile.

"A million books." Tokugawa Iemitsu obviously also received Lin Luoshan's letter in advance, and said with a smile: "Emperor Ming is really generous. This release message really relieved me. ”

A while ago, I was with the emperor of Kyoto, and in the blink of an eye, I gave the shogunate a million books. Obviously, Zhu had no intention of destroying the relationship between the shogunate and the emperor.

As a result, Tokugawa Yoshinao's plan to compete with the fishermen for profit also went bankrupt.

Of course, more important than the trouble caused by Tokugawa Yoshinao was the signal released by the Ming Emperor.

Leaving aside the relationship between the emperor and the shogunate, the Ming Emperor showed favors everywhere as soon as he arrived in Japan, which was really a good start.

"I just don't know...... What is this emperor trying to do again......" Sakai Tadakatsu sighed: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." There is no such thing as a free lunch, this emperor ...... There must be something to be desired. ”

"No hurry, wait. Mr. Rayama, I'm coming to Edo soon. Tokugawa Iemitsu looked relaxed, even expectant.

……

"Plan, let's get started." Tokugawa Yoshinobu didn't know that his brothers had caused a lot of trouble all over Japan.

Even if he knew, he would only feel a sigh of relief, and he would not stop his plans.

Today, he stands on the cross street in Yoshiwara and receives the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the newly opened store here.

Around him, countless Japanese people were discussing: "Is the place that the Edo people have been waiting for for months about to be unveiled?" ”

"This is the place where it is said to be the most luxurious commercial building in Japan when it is built......

"I really don't know what kind of business behind it depends on to have such ambitions...... I don't know, is it just a rhetorical ambition? ”

……

The newly opened store is very huge, not only occupies the best cross street position in the whole Jiyuan, but also the scale is huge, obviously as early as when Wang Fuzhi opened the greenstone study.

This is because it is a huge complex of four five-story buildings.

Undoubtedly, searching all of Edo will not find a larger, more luxurious complex than here. Not even the famous Sensoji Temple.

This is undoubtedly a place that only a powerful merchant can afford, and the owner behind it does live up to the disappointment of Tokugawa Laixuan, and it is the real first wealthy merchant in the Ming Dynasty: the expedition company.

Since the Zheng family turned into a state-owned hope company, it has been rectifying its internal forces and cleaning up those who had previously colluded with the construction of slaves, disrupted the Liao Restoration Order and other illegal people and sent them to the government. As a result, it was not easy for the company to maintain the development foundation of the Satsuma Domain, and naturally there was no energy to come to Edo again.

The wealthy expeditionary company also established a base on Sakurajima Island in the Satsuma Domain, and even traded with the Chechitan cults.

However, apart from these, the expeditionary company seemed to be invisible, and it was extraordinarily silent.

Until five months ago, this best street in Yoshiwara suddenly attracted the enthusiasm of all the Edo people gossiping.

A huge red cloth with several Chinese characters embroidered on it attracted everyone's attention.

"The Friendship Department Store, the most prosperous place in Edo, is about to open...... Countdown - ...... day"

Now, the word "one day" has been revealed, and it has been replaced by the upcoming beginning.

The grand opening ceremony began.

After Tokugawa Yoshinobu cut it, countless cheers and applause rang out.

Li Yan's smile appeared in front of Tokugawa Yoshinobu, looking at the lord of Kishu, he turned sideways and said with a smile: "It is really an honor to welcome the honorable lord of Kishu to participate in the ceremony. Please also take a look inside and see the glory of the most prosperous place in Edo, as an adult, it should not be missed. ”

Tokugawa Yoshinobu nodded reservedly: "The reputation of the most prosperous place may need me to test it." ”

Li Yan bowed and smiled lightly, and couldn't help but feel proud of the powerful ability of the expedition company in his heart.

As soon as he entered, Tokugawa Yorinobu's pride would soon be untenable.

As soon as you enter, you will find an elegant and generous hall, the floor is smooth and smooth marble floors, all of which are left empty, and the colorful glass panels directly above the sky shine brightly and show off.

That's right, it's showing off.

Most of the places in Edo are dirt roads, and even the most elaborate part of Ouri is only paved with bluestone slabs. How can the bright and smooth decoration of the marble floor not be described as showing off?

As for the unfrugal use of glass counters, they are not very conspicuous.

Under the bright light, the entire Friendship Department Store looks so brilliant. Even if Tokugawa Yoshinobu was self-assured and well-informed, he couldn't help but suddenly shrink his steps.

The first building was uncharacteristically unusually unstorey, but had one exchange counter. There are no goods sold here, they are all places to exchange gold and silver into Daming treasure banknotes.

Compared with those guys who only know how to make money, both Li Yan and Zu Dashou understand how important it is for the imperial court to make treasure money money.

Moreover, if you want to open a huge and unprecedented commercial building but still can't unify the currency value, it will undoubtedly greatly drag down the entire trading environment.
