Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Hojo Kikujiro's face looked better now.

Hojo Kikujiro, who has read some Han books, thinks he has a certain understanding of the Han people—their great emperor was able to send a large army to conquer a country for the sake of two horses, so he naturally cared about other people's opinions.

So Kikujiro Hojo believed what Li Yan said.

His complexion improved a little, and Hojo Kikujiro said: "Since your country's Eunuch Ren has a good relationship with our great general, how can he put on a show of attacking each other?"

However, Li Yan ignored Hojo Kikujiro's words, instead he greeted the room with a smile, and said, "Li Yan has good tea brought from Daming, why don't Mr. Hojo come in and taste it together?"

Hojo Kikujiro bowed and said, "Since Mr. Li has kindly invited you, Hojo will not be polite."

Hojo Kikujiro also knew that this was not a place to talk, so he agreed to Li Yan's invitation to drink tea inside.

After entering the room, Li Yan arranged the tea sets one by one, brought water to make the tea, and said with a smile: "Mr. Hojo, you can try it. This Ming tea is brewed with spring water on Kyushu Island. It's really good." Drink very much."

Hojo Kikujiro smiled and said, "Ha Yi, Mr. Li is right."

After drinking two or three cups of tea, Li Yan said with a smile: "Li Yan invited Mr. Hojo here today. He was ordered by his teacher to discuss the matter of the rogue warrior."

Hojo Kikujiro's face turned from sunny to cloudy again, and he said coldly: "What else can I say? Everyone has already been hacked to pieces by you."

However, Li Yan ignored Hojo Kikujiro's face, and said to himself anyway: "The deceased is dead, and it is not worthwhile to have any disputes because of him. What does Mr. Hojo think?"

Hojo Kikujiro said angrily: "So what? What will your behavior do to Japan?"

Li Yan said with a smile: "Mr. Hojo, don't get angry, why don't you discuss how to deal with the aftermath? Now there is a sword between you and me, but it is not a long-term solution?"

Hojo Kikujiro's expression slowed down a bit, and he said, "Mr. Li is right. If this confrontation continues, it will not be a good thing for both of us. The people who suffer the most are the common people."

Li Yan nodded, and replied: "Mr. Hojo's words are very true. If people don't go to sea to fish, their livelihood will be difficult to maintain, but it is really not a long-term solution."

At this time, Hojo Kikujiro became more interested in what Li Yan could say, so he immediately asked: "Then according to Mr. Li's opinion?"

The two sides avoided topics such as the Ming emperor, Shi Fenglai, the Japanese shogunate, etc. with a tacit understanding, and started talking in their respective identities.

Li Yan raised his teacup again, and said to Hojo Kikujiro, "Mr. Hojo, please."

After waiting for Hojo Kikujiro to drink up the tea in the cup, Li Yan said with a smile: "Since my father-in-law, Ming Ren, is on good terms with General Tokugawa, and General Tokugawa appointed you as the envoy, Mr. Hojo must know something about it. Is it?"

Hojo Kikujiro chuckled and said, "It's just some drugs and spirits, what's the big deal?"

Li Yan changed his face, smiled wryly and said: "Li Yan is not as casual as Mr. Hojo, these two things are forbidden in Ming Dynasty."

Straightening his face, Li Yan said: "Mr. Hojo should know that this medicine has been used by the royal family since ancient times, so naturally it is strictly forbidden to flow into the people.

As for this strong wine, to tell the truth, there is a severe drought in Shaanxi in my Ming Dynasty, and the grain has not been harvested year after year, and there are many droughts and floods in other places, so this strong wine is really hard to get.

If it weren't for Eunuch Ren's great trust from His Majesty, and his excellent friendship with General Tokugawa, how would he dare to take the risk of killing the Nine Clans to do these two things?

In other words, even if you get these two things, the income from selling them by Da Ming is much higher than the income from transporting them all the way to your country. "

Hojo Kikujiro immediately put on a dazed look, bowed his head and said: "It's Hojo who is being abrupt, I don't know that it is so difficult in Ming Dynasty."

Regarding Hojo Kikujiro's words, Li Yan wished he could hack him to death with a knife - under what circumstances would you, a Japanese slave, need to sympathize with you, Daming?

He is his mother!

Li Yanqiang, who was not in an extremely upset mood, suppressed the anger in his heart, secretly cursing himself that he had learned from Emperor Chongzhen for too long in Daming.

Gathering his mind, Li Yan continued: "It's just the death of a ronin warrior. It wasn't a big deal at first, but my father-in-law Ren of Ming Dynasty also knew about it, but he was very concerned about it."

Hearing that Li Yan mentioned Eunuch Ren, Hojo Kikujiro was also moved in his heart, secretly thinking that he finally got to the point.

Li Yan smiled and said: "Eunuch Ren sent someone to send a message, saying that no matter what, it will not affect the friendship between his old man and General Tokugawa, let alone the implementation of tomorrow's friendship treaty."

Hojo Kikujiro secretly scolded the person in front of him for being shameless, and the dead eunuch far away in the capital of the Ming Dynasty was even more shameless!

In order not to affect the friendship, not to affect the friendly treaty, it is actually not to affect the interests of drugs and spirits!

Chapter 400 The highest level of business?

After a sneer in his heart, Hojo Kikujiro bowed and said: "Master Li, please reply to Eunuch Ren on your behalf. General Tokugawa and the shogunate all welcome Eunuch Ren to come again. Everyone in the shogunate feels honored."

At this time, Li Yan also admired the level of this little dwarf who opened his eyes and told nonsense.

It is possible that Tokugawa Hidetaka hoped that the dead eunuch Ren Zhen would go again. After all, Li Yan heard from his teacher Shi Feng that even Tokugawa Iemitsu was ordered to address Ren Zhen as an uncle.

But other people in the shogunate did not necessarily welcome Ren Zhen to go to Japan again.

After all, the dead eunuch went once, and Japan lost Kyushu Island, and if he went a few more times, he might lose something.

In this case, to say that everyone except Tokugawa Hidetada welcomes Ren Zhen to go to Japan again, Li Yan thinks that it is possible unless the heads of the shogunate are broken together.

It is very likely that even Tokugawa Hidetada would not welcome Ren Zhen to go to Japan.

But Li Yan has no intention of exposing the lies of the short guy in front of him - what if the heads of these short guys are really broken?

Gathering his mind, Li Yan smiled again and said, "I will definitely convey the kindness of General Tokugawa and the Shogunate to Eunuch Ren."

After Hojo Kikujiro bowed to thank him again, Li Yan continued: "My teacher has a good personal relationship with Mr. Ren, so he also attaches great importance to this matter.

However, Daming couldn't lose face, and I hope that Mr. Hojo will pay a lot of compliments to General Tokugawa after he returns, and that Mr. Li Yan thanked General Tokugawa on behalf of his family teacher. "

Hojo Kikujiro bowed again and said, "Ha Yi, I must bring the words to you."

But after finishing speaking, Hojo Kikujiro said in a bad tone: "But, has anyone in your country confessed to Japan the death of that ronin warrior?"

Li Yan smiled and said: "If you explain the confession on the face, then Li Yan can only tell Mr. Hojo, no.

Regardless of the breach of the contract or the war, no matter what the price is, there will be no accountability to your country, and Daming's face must not be affected in the slightest. "

Hojo Kikujiro nodded, and after drinking a cup of tea, he asked, "Then according to Mr. Li's opinion?"

Hojo Kikujiro was not a fool, he understood what Li Yan said very well.

There will be no confession on the surface. In fact, this is the keynote of the negotiation on this matter, and Li Yan even said such things as breach of contract and war, which shows Daming's attitude towards this matter.

That is to say, from the performance point of view, the death of that ronin must have been for nothing, neither Daming nor Japan will give him or his family any explanation.

However, that is only on the surface, as for the secret?

Hojo Kikujiro wanted to hear what new tricks Li Yan could come up with.

At the very least, we should strive for more benefits.

Seeing that even a trace of anger could not be seen on Hojo Kikujiro's face, Li Yan couldn't help secretly admiring this man's skill in nourishing Qi, so he went on to say: "In Li's opinion, a mere rogue warrior is probably far more powerful than It is important not to have ten catties of fushou ointment."

Seeing that Hojo Kikujiro wanted to refute, Li Yan smiled and said: "Li also knows that your country is rich in silver, but Mr. Hojo must also be aware of the price of this drug.
