Wu Nian left Jingji to dry in the snow and stood on the porch, waiting for Li Tianbao to arrive.

"General, are you looking for me?" After a long time, Li Tianbao, who was sweating profusely, walked along the corridor, stood still, bent down and saluted.

"A Fuso woman named Kyogoku Yukiri came to see me. Do you know the Kyogoku family in Fuso?" Wu Young nodded lightly, picked up the cloth towel on the plate in the soldier's hand, and handed it to Li Tianbao.

"Kyogoku's family? Do you have a greeting card?" Li Tianbao's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he reached out to take the cloth and asked.

"Yes." Wu Nian turned around and took the greeting card and handed it to Li Tianbao. Li Tianbao wiped his sweat casually, put the cloth back on the plate, took the greeting card with both hands, and carefully looked at the family crest on it.

.

"It's really the Kyogoku family. This is a very influential family in Fuso. Especially the business at sea is very big."

Li Tianbao closed the greeting card with a thoughtful look on his face. He said seriously: "But General, she may not be here to do business with you."

"I think so too. If you are just doing business, you don't need to come to me specially. I don't want to kill businessmen." Wu Nian nodded, then stretched out his hand to indicate, turned around and entered the main room.

The two of them sat down separately, and a private soldier came in carrying a steaming cup of tea.

"Tell me about the Kyogoku family in detail." Wu Nian picked up the teacup and blew a few breaths before taking a sip of tea.

"Yeah." Li Tianbao hummed, and after sorting out the information he knew in his mind, he told Wu Nian.

"The landless daimyo? Could it be that they want land? Did they come to me because they saw my strong soldiers and horses? But it's impossible. My soldiers and horses still have to deal with the Mongolians, the bears have no me, and the navy has not been built. It's simply impossible.

You can’t interfere in Fuso’s domestic affairs.”

Wu Nian frowned, puzzled.

"The general is right. Unless you, general, unify Liaodong and drive out the Mongolians, you will have more power. Moreover, now in Fuso, the status of the Toyotomi shogunate has been consolidated. It cannot be penetrated by external forces. If, general, you interfere

One kick and I'm afraid the Toyotomi Shogunate will block it."

Li Tianbao nodded and said politely.

Although frontal combat by Japanese samurai is a lot less flavorful, the terrain of Fuso is dominated by mountains and forests. To put it bluntly, even if Wu Nian unified Liaodong and sent a force of ten thousand households into Fuso, and went deep alone, it would only be the fat of the Toyotomi shogunate.

Just meat.

The two of them discussed it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the purpose of Kyogoku Yukiri's visit.

"Forget it. There's no point in thinking about it. Just go and meet this woman." Wu Nian shook his head, then looked at Li Tianbao's clothes, then at himself, and said with a smile: "But there's no need to rush. Let's

Let’s take a shower and change clothes first.”

"Yes." Li Tianbao nodded in agreement.

The two took a cold shower in the mansion and changed into a set of clothes. Wu Nian was in front, and Li Tianbao was holding the handle of the knife at his waist behind him, followed by two groups of soldiers.

The people and horses arrived in order in the living room.

The soldiers stopped at the gate, and Wu Nian and Li Tianbao walked in.

Wu Nian looked at Kyogoku Xueli's appearance and figure, his eyes were fixed for a moment, then he withdrew his eyes, and calmly came to sit down on the Grand Master's chair in the main seat.

A look of surprise flashed in Li Tianbao's eyes. He took a second look before retracting his gaze. He came to Wu Nian's right hand and stood holding the knife, as if he was a guard.

"I am Wu Nian. This is my Qianhu [Sea Dragon King] Li Tianbao." Wu Nian introduced himself and Li Tianbao first, then looked up at Kyogoku Xueli and said: "Miss Kyogoku. I am a cheerful person.

People, so we went straight to the point. You and I are strangers, and you came to me suddenly. Is there something wrong?"

Kyogoku Yuki was dressed the same as in the restaurant. She just took a bath and changed into another colorful kimono. Her skin was like a shelled egg, delicate and fair.

She was sitting on the imperial chair in the right row, with Kitahara Sosuke standing behind her.

"General Wu, first of all, I deeply apologize for my hasty visit." Kyogoku Yuki stood up, bowed deeply and said.

After straightening up, Kyogoku Yukiri said: "There are two things."

"First, I heard that the general lacks military resources. I specially sent five thousand taels of silver as military supplies."

"Second, please ask the general to allow the Kyogoku family to engage in ginseng, dongzhu, and copper mine business in Liaodong."

Wu Nian, Li Tianbao's eyes sparkled, giving gifts and doing business? So simple?

After Wu Nian thought for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Miss Kyogoku, you don't have to stand and talk. Please sit down."

After hearing this, Kyogoku Xueli bowed to Wu Nian and then sat down meekly.

Wu Nian then spoke again: "I welcome the Jingji family to come to Liaodong to do business. I will assist the General of the Han Dynasty to treat every honest businessman. Chu merchants, Goguryeo merchants, Fusang merchants. Dongzhu, ginseng

It's a private transaction and I won't interfere."

"As for the copper mine, it can be used to make copper coins. Currently, all the copper mines in Yingqing Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture are controlled by the Fuhan General's Prefecture. I am a rough man and don't care about things. If you want to discuss business, you can go to Yingqing Prefecture.

Go and find Shi Liu Zhixing, the general who assisted the Han Dynasty. He will negotiate with you."

Wu Nian put on a businesslike attitude, and after finishing speaking, he said with a smile: "As for the five thousand taels of silver, Miss Kyogoku, you'd better take it back."

"You might as well tell Miss Kyogoku that I can accept these five thousand taels of silver without blinking an eye, and then I won't give you any preferential treatment at all."

Are you kidding me?

Wu Nian is rushing to fight for hegemony, that is, the family and the world.

To put it bluntly, his first step was to get Liaodong. How could he receive five thousand taels of silver and give preferential treatment to Kyogoku Yukiri?

Money doesn't come with strong winds. Kyogoku Yuki gave away five thousand taels of silver today, which proves that she wants more in return.

Kitahara Sosuke's eyes flashed, and he took a deep look at Wu Nian. The young lady was right. Wu Nian had a reputation as a womanizer, but he was not a person who coveted beauty. After he came in, he only glanced at the young lady.

I don’t want the white money that the lady gave me.

The Liaodong Tigers indeed have a deeper pursuit than beauty.

Powerful guy.

"Then please accept the five thousand taels of silver, General Wu. I sincerely support the general and do not ask for anything in return." Kyogoku Yuki bowed lightly, with a look of sincerity on her face.

"Is there such a thing?" Wu Nian narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but feel excited.

This is what you said without asking for anything in return. When the time comes, don’t ask for anything from me. I won’t do it for you. Why don’t you say I don’t do anything for money?

Five thousand taels of silver, this is not a small amount. The Meng Yuan people retreated from Guangchuan Mansion and emptied all the treasury and food. Now Wu Nian is in a state of poverty.

"Okay. Since you said so, Miss Kyogoku, then I will accept it." Wu Nian said simply. Then he squinted his eyes and asked: "Miss Kyogoku wants to start a copper mine business. What should I use to buy it?

?”

"Silver or gold are fine." Kyogoku Yuki said softly with a smile on her face.

"Your Fusang is short of copper?" Wu Nian asked with a gleam in his eyes.

"In fact, everything is in short supply. For example, the beautiful silks, porcelain, and scrolls from Chu State are all in short supply in Fuso. And in terms of ore, our Fuso gold and silver, especially silver, are worthless. On the contrary,

There is a lack of copper mines. Currently, a large part of the copper coins circulating in our country are Chu copper coins."

Kyogoku Yuki's smile grew even stronger.

Wu Nian was silent for a moment, and then said: "That's it. For me, five thousand taels of silver is a huge sum of money that is enough to make my heart beat. But for Miss Kyogoku, it is "not valuable."

Of course, Wu Nian just made a little joke. How could silver really be worthless? It's just that in Fuso, its value is relatively low.

And this is a huge business opportunity.

Exchange the copper mines produced in Liaodong for the silver produced in Fusang.

One ship should be able to earn a lot of silver.

In an era without money, Wu Nian could not use money to calculate how much he could earn.
