The Ashikaga family started out through maritime trade, so of course they are the most clear about these activities at sea.

The essence of the so-called trade is to sell stolen goods by many Japanese groups. Overseas trade is not as simple as paying money and delivering goods at the same time. Who would follow any rules above the ocean? More of the signs of buying and selling, but there is a knife hidden in secret. If you give me the goods, I will kill your whole family.

This kind of business is not just Ashikaga, but all major families have equal interests. Once they attack Japanese pirates, they will completely lose a source of wealth.

Dong Changyuan looked nervous and said carefully: "Please give a clear explanation to your highness. This has nothing to do with us. This is all the wandering rogues. As for whether they sell goods secretly in Japan, it must be a secret action. Even if the main country investigates this matter thoroughly and gives His Majesty an explanation, it will probably take a year or two... no, it may even take three or five years... to have a result..."

Zhu Qiyu's face was gloomy, but she didn't say anything. She waved her hand: "I understand, you go down!"

Dong Changyuan mustered up the courage and asked, "Your Highness, I don't know what the letter the king wrote to His Majesty the Emperor..."

"You mean, you want the Ming Dynasty to appoint craftsmen to go to Japan to teach new methods of making firearms?"

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what happened!"

Dong Changyuan nodded repeatedly and added: "The cost of traveling is borne by the Japanese pirates!"

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but feel funny and said, "What are you thinking? Is this possible?"

Dong Changyuan was unclear, so he said, "If it is inconvenient, the king can send a study group to inspect..."

"Don't mention this matter again!"

Zhu Qiyu was no longer convinced by Confucianism, and talked about benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, and also knew the importance of firearms.

How could I give this thing to you?

Dong Changyuan looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water and continued, "I would like to send it to His Majesty the Emperor. The king admired the Ming Dynasty very much and hoped to take the Ming Dynasty as his teacher and learn the advanced technology of the Ming Dynasty. This matter..."

"I said, don't mention it again, you can go down!"

Zhu Qiyu issued the order to expel guests again, and two great Han generals came in, looking as if you were not decent, I will help you with decent attitude.

Dong Changyuan wiped his sweat and said he was busy leaving.

After leaving Wenhua Palace, he couldn't help but think that he had to tell the king about this matter quickly, but he just had to bite him to death and refused to admit it, and determined that the Japanese pirates were exiled overseas and were not subject to the Japanese ban. I think that the Ming Dynasty would not have broken up.
