Zhang Yin said: "But we will choose a place on Takasaki Jun's territory to build a waterway city to hoard goods and protect the safety of the merchants. 1. As long as Takasaki Jun ensures this, we agree to two conditions: First, we will transport 1,000 kilograms of medicinal materials and porcelain to Takasaki Jun every month in the future, and the collection of money can be delayed. Second, all goods prices will be based on the Tokyo market price. This is a list, please check it out."

Gao Qi stared at her eyes, brushed her hands on her gray temples, and took the list with both hands solemnly, and after reading carefully, "That... if Mr. Zhang gave it to Shanghai Yun at this price, wouldn't he lose money?"

He said it very reasonably. There will be no pie falling from the sky in this world, let alone the two sides are not close or related. If Takasaki doesn't know what Zhang Yin is trying to do, he will be worried. Only stupid people think about taking advantage of it and not worrying about traps.

What's more, some things cannot be hidden, and it seems more sincere to say them on their own initiative. Zhang Yin pondered for a moment and said, "Shi Jian State-owned Silver Mine."

Takasaki was stunned.

Zhang Yin said calmly again: "Kaoqijun can also recommend several merchant officials to do this together. You can use ore to pay for the goods. We can get silver ore to be refined and make all the losses back."

When Takasaki heard this, hesitated and said, "It is no small matter to allow the Gentiles to build a city..."

Zhang Yinyong said softly: "Kun Gaoqi, you are looking for wealth and honor in danger."

Two vertical patterns appeared between Takasaki's eyebrows: "How big is the city you want to build?"

Zhang Yin raised his hand and said, "It's about the same size as Takasaki-kun's yard."

When Gao Qi heard this, his expression suddenly relaxed. His yard was really not big and he couldn't call it a village at all. He immediately said, "I hope Mr. Zhang will deliver the first batch of 1,000 kilograms of goods as soon as possible, so that he can handle some noble people from Heianjing."

After hearing this, Zhang Yin laughed loudly. Want to read a book??·1·

Takasaki hit the high five three times, and a maid came in with more dishes. He picked up the wine glass: "Please!"

The three of them ate and drank very happily. The two men had a good alcohol tolerance. Gao Qi accompanied him to drink, and got drunk. He stood up staggeringly and left the table, calling the maid to serve him.

He was drunk and came to the backyard. He went to a hot spring room backing to take a bath. A young and beautiful concubine smiled and untied her clothes and went to the water to accompany her.

Takasaki burped in the water in a daze, suddenly felt his throat move, and he lay on the edge of the pond and vomited out inadvertently. Even he himself smelled a stinking smell coming to his face. He breathed a breath, opened his eyes and saw a look of disgust on his concubine's face, and then he showed a sweet smile.

Takasaki sighed, then looked down at the slack and ugly flesh on his abdomen: "Miko must not be willing to stay with me."

The concubine hurriedly said, "Who doesn't want to be favored by the lord? Do you think I'm not good at serving you well?" After she said that, she snuggled up to me kindly.

Takasaki stretched out his hand and stroked her young and smooth shoulders. The concubine moaned intently, stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, and looked at Takasaki with a teasing smile.

"No need." Takasaki said immediately, "As someone of my age, Miko can accompany me."

The concubine said softly: "Miko is willing to stay with her lord."

Takasaki smiled bitterly and said, "If I don't have wealth and can't give you rich clothes and food and tempting rewards, I'm afraid Miko won't even want to stay by an old and ugly person for a moment. That would be so lonely!"

The concubine looked aggrieved: "Lord..."

Takasaki looked at her and smiled, "Money and power are both. Without all this, how could I enjoy so much? Money is my life!"

...After a while, when Zhang Yin wrote the progress of Dongdao into a memorial to report to Beijing, the weather was already very hot.? 1? Reading · 1??? ·

It was afternoon, and it was already an office hours, but Guo Shao was in the bathroom at the back hall of Jinxiang Hall. It was too hot, so he ran here to wash and cool it down.

There was a large pool of water inlaid with solid wood beside the pond, and there were many palace maids standing on both sides, holding white and clean linings and towels in their hands. Guo Shao took off all the naked without pressure. He used to feel embarrassed, but now after so long, he has been able to let go. However, the palace maids on both sides were all blushing and lowered their heads. One or two of them were just on duty here, and their expressions were even more shocked.

Li Shanggong, who was in his early thirties, then entered the hall. Regardless of his dress, he went straight down the pool water and took the towel from the palace maid.

Li Shanggong rubbed his back as light and heavy, and it was neither painful nor soft. Guo Shao could also feel her fingers touch appropriately, and his heart felt comfortable. She said a few words to Guo Shao from time to time, which were all nice. She said: "The weather is hot, your Majesty will take a break for a long time, and the dragon body is important."

Guo Shao originally wanted to come over and cool down and went back, but he was a little nostalgic at this time. He immediately said, "Call Cao Tai in and read Zhang Yin's memorial to me. It's cool here."

After a while, Cao Tai bowed into the bathroom. Anyway, the emperor did whatever he wanted. Not to mention that he listened to the memorials in the bathhouse, no one dared to say anything even if he wanted to be in the thatched cottage.

Because Guo Shao was particularly interested in the gold and silver of Japan these days, Zhang Yin's knowledgeable memorial made him listen to it with relish.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yin is still a talented person. It turned out that he was just a minor official. Guo Shao said twice in a row: "I want to send someone to commend Zhang Yin, and his errands are done well."

Guo Shao was very happy. After the failure of Japan's diplomatic relations, Zhang Yin seemed to have found another way to solve the problem.

At this time, the time for a large-scale war against Japan is not very ripe. If there is a low-cost way to get a large amount of currency first, it would be wiser... The military expenditure of three million chunks is still too small, making it difficult to carry out large-scale expeditions; the capacity for crossing the sea to send troops is also limited.

In addition, Guo Shao did not agree with the strategy of directly attacking the capital of Japan. One reason was limited by the scale of the war, and the other was based on the information reported by Japan's country in 6 consecutive days. Even if Heianjing was captured, it was very doubtful whether Japan could be controlled.

If Heianjing suddenly collapsed and Japan entered a full separatist state, the Xu army would not be able to deal with this distant situation one by one. At that time, thieves would be everywhere, guerrillas would raid Xu army, and no one would be responsible for it. Guo Shao always believed that after a place lost order, it would be of no benefit to anyone.

...The goods promised to be transported to Gaoqi in a timely manner were indeed purchased by merchants, but they were just "sea trade money houses" with complex backgrounds, and most of the shares were in the hands of the royal family.

The Jiaolong Army's large ship, the Mulan Boat, was slowly built. The world had just passed the war and could not find a suitable dock for a while, and it has not yet been completed. The Jiaolong Army only had a few light boats that transformed the big food ship, one with a crew of up to dozens of people, and had to transport weapons and supplies. The sea trade money house finally found some solid sea ships to make do with it.

Guo Shao ordered the commander of the Jiaolong Army, Han Tong, to recruit 300 voluntary soldiers from the imperial guards and guards, and asked people from the southern region to form the first group of people who crossed the east, called "East Sea Commander", and Zhang Jiankui, commander of the founding Hou, the imperial guards, to be the commander; Zhang Yin was promoted to the office of the Privy Council and served as the supervisor of the branch of the Qianying Military Office.

These regular soldiers and officials were dressed in plain clothes, disguised as merchants and sailors, and were transported to Shijianguo, the west coast of Japan. The excellent armor, military weapons and gunpowder were hidden with the ship.

Zhang Yin was "discussing business" on Dongdao, but the Tokyo court had already formulated a national strategy. First, establish a stronghold in Ishimiya Kingdom, and then win over local tyrants in Japan. The nobles in the capital shared their interests, assisted them in opening Yinshan, and established a silver mine transportation line from Ishimiya Kingdom to Haizhou (Lianyungang).

The purpose of sending troops is to use force to ensure the establishment of this transportation line. This is not an ordinary business. It involves the establishment of a "sea trade money house" with tens of millions of business. Moreover, the emperor personally presided over the general strategy. How could he not let it go and give up easily?

Not long after, Lu Duoxun, the assistant minister of the Grand Employment Department of the Court, also brought officials from the Ministry of Works to the east, and selected a place to build a "warehouse" base with the assistance of the Japanese manor Gao Qi. Everyone had already clarified the military laws and did not call it an official position when they arrived at the East Island, and they were traveling as merchants.

But in fact, all the important officials of Daxu State were among them. Among them, the officials of the Ministry of Works once participated in the design and construction of the "Never Fall Fort" Wuding Fort. Everyone told Gao Qi that they would build a low-rise castle. In fact, they were conducting a detailed investigation. They wanted to build a fort!

The location was quickly confirmed, and it was on the north shore of the entrance to Sanpingchuan. This place was really not a good place, but there was no good natural safe haven along the coast of Shijianguo, and only this place could make do with it. There was little room for choice, so there was no need to choose.

There is silt silt at the estuary, and the river water is very shallow, and the boats cannot enter the river. However, the officials from the Ministry of Works who came to work on many water conservancy projects, even the Yellow River was built, so they did this project. They first invested in order for the owners of Gaoqi and other manors to recruit strong men, and together with the sailors of Xu Jun, digged a ditch to divert the estuary of Sanpingchuan. After the water at the estuary retreated, the embankment was built and the water was cut off, and then the estuary was expanded to allow the sea boats to enter.

This place is no longer as strong as the Xu State army, which is often tens of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of people. Due to limited conditions, the project can only dig out a very narrow river channel and lead to the fortress base Water Gate on the river bank... Even so, it is also a long-term project for only more than 300 people and Japanese civilians recruited.

The coast here is soft and sandy, and it is not suitable for building fortresses. Fortresses are built on a small hill with solid foundation on the north bank of Sanpingchuan... The mountains are far away in the northeast.

Building the city wall requires lime and other items. Fortunately, the owner of Gaoqi Manor was helped. Gaoqi Manor not only allowed them, but also provided help with human, animal and material resources... If it weren't for this, Xu Jun had just arrived here and had nothing to know about the place, so it was really difficult to gain a foothold and even more difficult to build a stronghold.

Takasaki seemed to notice that men were like soldiers. Zhang Yin explained that they were hired as servants to protect the hospital, and said that the business bank also needed his connections in Heianjing, and that the cooperation would be carried out for a long time and everyone would make money together! At this time, the cooperation had begun, and Takasaki had also gained a lot of benefits, so it was really difficult to stop.
