On the deck, Li Jie and Zhu Chuang sat opposite each other, but Li Jie looked relaxed at this time, while Zhu Chuang frowned. Today, he was willing to accept the reality and asked Li Jie what kind of place the country was about to go to. Li Jie did not hide it. Not only did he talk about Shi Jian Yin Mine, but he also told him a lot about the situation in Japan.

In fact, Zhu Chuang had to know about these things in advance, but his mind was not on this before. Even if he told him, he probably wouldn't be able to listen.

After a while, Zhu Ren let out a long sigh and said, "So, Shi Jianguo actually hid a silver mine with an annual output of more than one million taels. No wonder his father spent so much effort and even sent the fourth brother to lay the entire Goryeo to lay the foundation for this silver mine!"

"Yes, the King of Yan has always been responsible for this matter, but the King of Yan still focuses on Goryeo. He had also written to His Majesty to ask His Majesty to send someone capable to take charge of the affairs of Japan. Unexpectedly, this matter ended up on His Highness!" Li Jie also spoke again. When talking about the serious matter, he did not mock Zhu Chuang anymore.

"Is the Ouchi Yoshihiro who traded with us reliable?" Zhu Chuang asked again at this time. Since he accepted the reality, he had to make plans for his future. Even though he was very disgusted with Li Jie, he had to bow his head to inquire about the information he needed.

"Unreliable. This person is a fence-bearer in Japan, but his strength has grown too fast, which has aroused the suspicion of the Japanese shogunate generals, so he wanted to bring our Ming Dynasty as his backer. Now the two sides are just using each other. If he knows about the silver mine, he will definitely find a way to snatch it!" Li Jie replied again.

"Where are those people from Kyushu Island?" Zhu Chuang asked again.

"The people on Kyushu Island, Mr. Zhang and others can still trust them. After all, the goal of both of us is to gain a foothold in Japan. They also need the support of the imperial court, and their ambitions are not great. One Kyushu Island is enough for them to struggle, but their strength is limited. At most, it is to restrain the power of Japan and not be able to help much." Li Jie replied again.

"So, after I arrived at Shijianguo, everything depends on myself?" Zhu Ren gritted his teeth and said. He only had two thousand guards in his hand. He only had such a few people to penetrate deep into the enemy's homeland and gained a foothold. This was simply a death sentence!

"Things are not as bad as you thought. The confrontation between the Southern and Southern Dynasties before Japan has greatly consumed their national strength. In addition, the various daimyos listened to the tune and did not listen to the news, and the shogunshang had no choice but to do anything to them. And in a short time, Ouchi Yoshihiro was still on our side, so there would be no danger when you go to Ishimiguo."

Li Jie paused here and then said, "In addition, you are not alone. The Tsushima Island and Jeju Island near Japan are stationed on our Ming navy. As long as your highness needs it, they can ship to support it at any time. The Japanese warships are very bad and are far from being the opponent of our Ming navy!"

When Zhu Ren's face finally looked a little better when he heard that there were reinforcements behind him, but then he asked again: "Then I'm going to Japan, are you going to mine silver mines soon, or do you want to find a way to develop your own power first?"

"Your Highness has to weigh the pros and cons of this myself, but I prefer to take a firm foothold first and then make plans. After all, mining silver mines is not a matter of overnight. In addition, as long as the news of the silver mine is spread, it will not be only Yoshihiro Ouchi, but the entire Japan will probably be shocked!" Li Jie replied again.

"Then aren't you afraid that I will deliberately delay time and help the court mine silver mine?" Zhu Ren suddenly looked at Li Jie with a squinted eye and sneered. He handed over such an important silver mine to him, and he could take it as his own.

"Haha, if your Highness wants to delay time or have any other selfish intentions, you can give it a try!" Li Jie also sneered at this time. Of course, he had considered this issue. I guess Old Zhu also thought of it, but they were not worried that Zhu Ceng would dare to do this.

Zhu Ren was a little annoyed when he heard Li Jie's words, but then calmed down again, because Li Jie was right. Even if he had lent him ten courage, he would not dare to make an idea of ​​silver mines, because he was alone and wanted to gain a foothold in Japan, he had to rely on the support of the Ming Dynasty. If he really dared to make any small moves, as long as the Ming Dynasty cut off the support for him, it would be enough to make him die without a burial place.

Of course, Zhu Ceng did not always need the support of the Ming Dynasty. If he could directly conquer the entire Japan like Zhu Di, then there would be no strong enemy in Japan, so he would naturally do whatever he wanted. However, even at that time, if he really dared to turn against the Ming Dynasty, it would not be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to destroy him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chuang couldn't help but look a little depressed. No matter how he looked, he would never get rid of the influence of the Ming Dynasty in his life.

Li Jie also saw Zhu Chuang's change in expression. As for his thoughts, he could probably guess that Zhu Chuang was extremely ambitious. Unfortunately, Zhu Biao was pressed by him, so he had no chance at all, so he became so crazy in Xi'an. Now that he was going to Japan, he was also not willing to be inferior to others, but reality forced him to bow his head.

"Maybe it's a bit aggrieved to let him go to Japan. The Americas deserves this guy's ambition!" Li Jie thought to himself. If Zhu Ren wants to get rid of the influence of the Ming Dynasty, the best way is to run far away and have a large enough piece of land for him to toss. In this way, it seems that only America is the only choice. Unfortunately, with the current situation, I don't know when I will find a route to America?

"How many troops did the fourth brother use to defeat Goryeo?" Zhu Ren was silent for a while, and suddenly looked up and asked again.

"At the beginning, the King of Yan had only three thousand elite soldiers. Taking advantage of the civil strife in Goryeo, he captured the capital of Goryeo in one fell swoop and controlled the core of Goryeo. Later, His Majesty supported 5,000 Iron List Army. The King of Yan used the Iron List Army as the main force and supplemented the local troops to pacify the entire Goryeo in just a few months." Li Jie replied immediately.

"Hmph, it took eight thousand troops to pacify a small Goryeo, and the fourth brother only had this ability!" Zhu Chuang showed a disdainful expression when he heard this, as if he didn't look down on Zhu Di's record.

When Li Jie heard Zhu Chuang mocking Zhu Di for his achievements, he also sneered a little again. It seems that Zhu Chuang's mind has not yet fully awakened. In history, Zhu Di was a great man who counterattacked the country with the power of a city. Even if his record is not as good as Lao Zhu, he is not comparable to other brothers. Although Zhu Chuang once led troops, he really cannot compare with Zhu Di in terms of war.

"Your Highness is the elder King Yan's brother, of course he is stronger than the King Yan. I believe that with your highness's strength, you will be able to pacify Japan soon. I am waiting for your highness's good news!" Of course, Li Jie would not say what he said in his heart, but bowed again.

Zhu Chuang seemed to hear the sarcasm in Li Jie's words, but did not defend himself. Instead, he picked up the wine glass and drank it again and said: "I have finished asking all the things. When will we arrive in Suzhou tomorrow?"

"You will arrive before noon tomorrow. You need to change to a Shanghai boat and you can set off in three days." Li Jie replied again. After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye. After all, he had already finished speaking, so there was no need for him to stay here again.

Looking at Li Jie's back as he left, Zhu Ren squinted his eyes and didn't say anything. Then he picked up the wine pot and poured it on his own. After the wine was finished, he stood up staggeringly, and then the eunuch helped him into his cabin and never came out again.

At noon the next day, Li Jie and his fleet arrived at the port in Suzhou. Because of the gradual opening of sea trade, the ports here became more prosperous. Vessels entering and leaving the Yangtze River would be docked and replaced here. The entire dock was extremely busy, and almost all the docked ships were covered with all their entire faces.

After Li Jie and his other ships arrived in Suzhou, they immediately exchanged with local officials and then began to transfer the goods on the ship to the sea. Li Jie did not leave immediately. Instead, after all preparations were completed three days later, he personally escorted Zhu Cheng to sail again with the large fleet. It was not until after passing Chongming Island and entering the sea that Li Jie was relieved to return to sail.

Originally, Li Jie wanted to play in Suzhou for two days before returning to Beijing, but that night, he suddenly received a letter sent by Jiang Yan. When he opened the letter, he saw only two words written on it: Go home quickly!
