Seeing that the Japanese envoys were afraid to speak, Zeng Tao laughed out loud: "I remember who you are facing when you speak harshly next time... I am not qualified to say such words as declaring war, but I am qualified to say it." Zeng Tao patted the Japanese envoys twice on the face, and then said word by word: "Kill, Guang, you, you!"
"presumptuous……"
A Japanese warrior suddenly rose, but as soon as he lifted his hand, he was shot in his throat.
In the military camp next to him, a hundred households in armor slowly lowered the bow in their hands, and did not look at this side again.
At this time, a few more people were unwilling to rush towards Zeng Tao.
Zeng Tao stood there and didn't move. A continuous rain of arrows shot the people on the spot.
"Remember, abide by the rules!" Zeng Tao felt a little cold after feeling that he was not completely afraid. But Bai Minghe chose him, which proved that he had his own excellent side. Even if he was trembling in his heart, he did not lose the face of Ming Dynasty on the surface.
The Japanese envoys were completely confused. Could it be that the Ming Dynasty tricked them into killing them all?
But what is the meaning of this?
At this time, a man wearing servant clothes behind the team approached Zeng Tao and quietly handed over a roll of paper when he was about to leave. Zeng Tao hesitated for a moment, but took it and stuffed it into his sleeve.
The Japanese camp was speechless all night, no one spoke, no one made any noise, and they squeezed together to keep warm. However, they were divided into dozens of batches, and not many people surrounded the envoy tent.
The next morning, Bai Minghe sat in the house drinking white rice porridge while looking at several books of information that had been in the CPH trade.
"Xiaobai, I'm afraid I've played it. Are you planning to starve them to death?" Yang Neng ran over to find Bai Minghe.
Bai Minghe shook his head gently: "Have you eaten breakfast, have you finished drinking white porridge together. This is Siamese fragrant rice, which is more precious than ordinary rice. I have already had a contract with Siam and require a large amount of planting in Siam. I will purchase at least 1.5 million stones a year."
Yang Neng signaled that he would give him a bowl.
Zeng Tao only came to ask for a meeting at this time and placed a piece of gold and the piece of paper on the table.
Bai Minghe just glanced at it: "Oda family? There are 4,000 copper packs!" After that, Bai Minghe knocked on the book on the table: "The Japanese are quite smart. They exchanged goods for silver in the capital. Then transported them to Nanjing, so that the silver price will rise sharply. Then exchanged for a large amount of goods in Nanjing, so that the profit will be as much as four or five times."
"What?" Yang Neng is a soldier and has never studied these.
Bai Minghe gently knocked on the table: "Zeng Tao, go and tell the people in the camp. Today I want to see at least one Japanese die. As for the reasons and excuses, you can think about it. Then, ask the people from the Oda family to enter the VIP Garden and ask Wan Xueer to arrange a singing and dancing. You know the rules."
"Yes, students know the rules and will tell the people of the Oda family in advance that Feixuelou is a high-end dancer. Please give enough respect. Of course, as a distinguished guest of the adults, you will also receive corresponding respect." Zeng Tao understood the relationship very well.
Bai Minghe said again: "At noon, others are allowed to buy food. By the way, ask if anyone from Takeda is here, I like them."
"Yes!" Zeng Tao bowed and stepped back.
"Xiaobai. Do you seem to like the Oda family very much?" Yang Neng asked with a smile.
Bai Minghe nodded: "I like it because the Oda family is full of ambitions. Their family was originally just the guardian of the Spoh family in the U.S. Lord Yang. I don't hide it from you. According to my in-depth research on Japan, Japan will enter the Warring States Period in fifteen years, because Japan actually takes power, and is a drunkard. Of course, he is still young now."
"You!" Yang Neng became interested: "You want Japan to advance in the Warring States Period!"
"Yes, I will support some ambitious gentry. Then let the Japanese enter the era of great melee. Then there is a plan to lose the house..." When talking about the plan to lose the house, Bai Minghe suddenly changed his face: "Ami Tofu, the killing is too heavy. I should be the Buddhist temple to calm my heart."
Yang Neng laughed so hard that he trembled. Bai Minghe believed in Buddhism and even Shi Luohan didn't believe it. He could still believe it.
On the other side, the Japanese in the camp who had been hungry for a night were not in chaos, because all this was full of weirdness. The Ming Dynasty must not have been to kill them all, but there must be some terrible conspiracy.
The young official from the Ming Dynasty came back, and a small servant left the camp with his entourage.
In the area separated from the wooden bar from this camp, a table was set up. Each person weighed at least two kilograms of grilled fish, a jar of rice wine, and the aroma of rice in the large wooden barrel made the people here even more hungry, not to mention the aroma of the fish and the charm of the wine.
"After lunch, my elders summoned me!"
"Thank you, Lord Bai!" The man who claimed to be the Oda family gave a very solemn gift.
After eating here, they began to allow the use of their supplies to trade rice and grain. A strong man gave a big gift to Zeng Tao: "Xiang Jie, the 20th leader of the Southern clan, greeted Lord Bai."
"I will convey your greetings to the adults." Zeng Tao finished speaking, clapping his hands gently, and a hundred fish were sent to Nanbu Xiangjie, who claimed to be the 20th generation leader of the southern part. "Those who respect my adults will also be respected by my adults."
Immediately afterwards, many people ran towards Zeng Tao, but Zeng Tao ignored it.
And a few people were preparing to steal the fish from the southern family. After a few arrows shot the leader, the camp became quiet again. Zeng Tao had already walked to the door and suddenly turned around and said, "My master asked, is there anyone in Takeda?"
The camp was so quiet that it was scary. A man wearing coarse cloth clothes and was obviously a master came out of the corner. He came to Zeng Tao and bowed deeply: "On this day, Takeda learned important knowledge. If you want to be respected, you must first learn to respect."
"Come here, Takeda's family is a VIP for the Lord." Zeng Tao finished his order and made a gesture of invitation: "Please change camp!"
"Thank you very much!" The Takeda family immediately summoned the people around to the camp next to them.
When Zeng Tao was giving back, he reported the words of Takeda's family in full. Bai Minghe was very surprised when he heard this. He thought for a while: "The time to see Oda meet is not needed. I send a message to Nianxuelo, and after opening the door in the afternoon, I left a private room for the official, and then... Bai Minghe gently knocked on his forehead a few times, asking Fan Liang to accompany him, and then asked Hua Wuxu to arrange a few people in the room next to him."
The Japanese envoys were going crazy, and he represented General Ashikaga.
But the three major clans who are treated well here are not even the three major clans, but just a few inconspicuous small families.
The rice in the mouth is very sweet, but it is bitter when eaten.
He really wanted to get back to the dock in one breath. Then he drove the boat and left quickly. Then he went north to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to seek justice, but at present, the people in this camp are not united, and almost 80% of the people are staring at Oda and Takeda.
In the afternoon, Zeng Tao came to tell the Oda family to meet and leave, and there was a dinner party. Then he arranged the Nanbu family in Xinying District, which was Hong Guoguo's ignorance of the Japanese envoys.
A gorgeous silk dress, and the style of Japanese co-dresses, was sent to the man of Takeda's family with dark blue and dark flowers, and then the two servants placed two boxes.
"Taki Takeda is very grateful."
The gift was received. One of the two boxes contained accessories on the clothes, and the other was filled with two Tang knives, one long and one short.
"please!"
Nianxue Tower is a newly opened building by Wan Xueer on Qiaobi not far from Guanghai New Guard. Guangzhou City’s business is good, but the business here will exceed ten times more than Guangzhou City in less than a year. Wan Xueer mobilized 30% of the first-class art crafts in Guangzhou to transfer it here.
In the small box, Bai Minghe was smelling the fragrance of tea. A professional tea master was kneeling on the ground wearing Hanfu, fiddling with tea sets.
"Tada Nobuei pays homage to the nobles of the Ming Dynasty." Takeda Nobuei knelt down at the door.
"You will not suffer any loss when you kneel down to me. In terms of identity, I have a title and a royal relative. From the perspective of you and me..." Bai Ming Tsuki did not continue, but stood up and helped Takeda Nobuei: "The head of Takeda family, destroyed Yise Yoshikun, became the guardian of Wakasa, but your family is still oppressed, and half of the output of the land must be handed over to the Hosokawa clan."
Takeda Nobue didn't dare to speak. This young master knew a lot about his family.
"From you and me, if you are 100% loyal to the Hosokawa family, then I will give you a wealthy life. It is also considered a friendship between us today. On the contrary, if you have enough ambitions to make your Takeda family become overlords, or even Guan Bai. Then I want your sincerity. Of course, take a seat first. After all, you are my guest of the White-name Tsurumi."
Han-style tea mat, kneel down. Of course, you can also sit cross-legged.
At least Fan Liang sat down cross-legged. Takeda Nobue first placed the two knives that Bai Minghe gave him on the knife stand next to him. Removing the knife is also a kind of ritual. At least the owner here is dressed as a literati.
"How much land has your Takeda family controlled?"
Bai Minghe asked directly after the singing and dancing downstairs began.
"The area controlled by our Takeda family has more mountains and few paddy fields. The fields are not too many, and they can barely maintain them. There are 300,000 households, and they can actually earn 100,000 chunks of income every year." Takeda Nobue had a very strong feeling, which may be his opportunity, but he didn't understand what this Lord Bai wanted.
Bai Minghe smiled: "Zeng Tao, how many hundred thousand coins are there?"
"Sir, on the Japanese island, 100,000 jin of raw silk is about 20,000 jin, and 200 jin of raw silk is reduced to 20,000 jin. According to the recent silk price in Huzhou, 40,000 taels of silver in Daming!" Zeng Tao calculated quickly and immediately gave an answer.
Bai Minghe pointed here: "The head of Takeda family, this small box costs 100 taels. This is a professional tea girl and a noble tea ceremony expert. If you ask such a person to make tea for us here, you will have to buy at least 100 taels of silver worth of tea. In addition to the other snacks and singing and dancing rewards, this box costs 240 taels."
Takeda Nobuei knew what the Ming Dynasty's 240 taels mean.
"Do you have ambition? I have a white-name crane, but my ambition is not on your poor Japanese island. You have nothing worthy of my white-name crane. But you can give me a considerable support. Now, do you have ambition?"
Faced with Bai Minghe's question, Takeda Nobue thought repeatedly and changed his legs to kneeling: "Yes, Takeda's family wants to become a big family!"
"Okay, then use all your fields and mountains to plant mulberry trees!" Bai Minghe finally expressed his request. (To be continued...)
