Chapter 569: A plate of loose sand

With the intention of drinking, the envoys returned to their residences one after another; and Chen Ao discussed the matter of cede the land, and a big stone in his heart finally fell.

When Chen Ao heard the fleet attacking the East Bay Port, he was inexplicably surprised. Such arbitrary act and the Song Dynasty accumulated reputation for such a long time, wasn’t it because of a group of lawless murderers who were in vain?

At first, Chen Ao had a headache about how to suppress this matter, but later, in a flash, a bold idea emerged, and even himself was shocked by his own idea.

Later, after careful consideration, I gradually realized that this method was feasible. The key to the problem was the reputation accumulated by the central dynasty for hundreds of years. That is to say, the Song Dynasty's official army was even more trusted by all countries for the lawless maritime merchants.

Chen Ao stretched out and was about to take a nap, then wrote another memorial.

It was at this moment that a lieutenant came in and said, "Prince, Deputy Envoy of Japan, Polyjiu asked for a visit."

Chen Ao couldn't help but be stunned and said, "A deputy envoy also came to see me, why didn't their envoy come?"

The captain said, "Looking at his appearance, he seems to be coming with a man on his back."

Chen Ao smiled faintly and said, "It's interesting, ask him to come in."

After a while, the drunken Japanese deputy envoy Poly returned, and first bowed deeply to Chen Ao, and said, "The envoys from the country have met the prince."

Chen Ao looked at him and had some impression of him. He remembered that when he was just having a banquet, he always followed the horse's head, very respectful, with a slightly flattering face. At this time, he was respectful and solemn, and there was a little cunning in his eyes.

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Why, Brother Pauli has pulled down something?"

Polyuji said seriously: "The envoy is here to represent the Fujiwara family in Kansai to pay homage to the prince."

Chen Ao was silent for a moment and said, "I am not familiar with the affairs of Japan. I only know that there is a person named Yuan Lai in Kanto, right?"

Polyjiu gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, Lai Yuan's family is in Kansai, holding His Majesty the Emperor hostage and ordering the princes. It is similar to the Cao thief in your country. My head Fujiwara Taiheng lives in Kandong. He wanted to clear the emperor's side and eliminate ***..."

Halfway through his words, Chen Ao knew roughly what Polyjiu was here to do, and quickly interrupted him and said, "Wait, I have a word first. Cao Gong is one of the three and a half people who Chen admires the most. What does it mean to say that?"

"..." Polyjiu was speechless.

Chen Ao said: "You should go straight to the point, why are you here?"

Polyjiu said embarrassedly: "Please set up the port of the garrison in Kansai! My head of the family will definitely give you the greatest convenience."

………………………………………

Chen Ao understood that, except for the leader of the Japanese mission, the other deputy envoys appointed by the Emperor of Japan, most of the other powerful warlords were powerful warlords. After these warlords attended the meeting, they immediately saw the convenience and benefits of the Song army stationed. If the merchant port of the Song Dynasty could be selected into its own jurisdiction, they would certainly have to cut out a piece of land to settle the Song people, but on the other hand, the near-water towers would have to deal with them first, and at least have a guarantee of safety. Furthermore, the Song Dynasty's maritime merchants loaded and unloaded goods there on a large scale. That port was almost the logistics center of the entire Japanese island. The loading and unloading of goods needed to be transported to all parts of the Japanese island. To go to the port, they had to pass through their own territory. At that time, countless merchants would definitely gather, and the profits could be imagined.

The entire Japanese island has gradually emerged as the prototype of the Warring States Period. All forces are fighting openly and secretly. Among them, the Lai Yuan family has the strongest strength and occupying the political and economic center of Japan at this time. Although this Polyuo's master occupied most of the land in Kanto, compared with the Lai Yuan family, it is really a difference between landlords and tenants. Although the territory is almost the same, it is due to disadvantages in politics and economy. It is implicated in military terms, so it is only enough to protect itself for a while.

If the Song army could be led in, the benefits here would be obvious. Although the merchant ship entered the port, it was not the head of Polyjiu's family who charged the mooring fee, but the cost of entering the port could be obtained by relying on the advantage of the territory.

In later generations, Kanto gradually became the center of the Japanese island after the Meiji Restoration, but at this time, it was often regarded as a barbarian by the Kanto people, roughly the same as Jiaozhou and Qiongzhou in the Song Dynasty. Anyway, when it comes to this, it is not much different from the country people in later generations. This gap also made the Kanto side not have a deep connection with the relationship, and even quite hated. Polyku took the order of the head of the family and originally just came to monitor the envoy to see if the Kanto side could gain some benefits. At this time, the strategy of garrison proposed by the Song Dynasty immediately understood the mystery, so no matter what, he had to pull the Song people's port to Kanto.

Shen Ao narrowed his eyes and looked at Polijiu with a smile, sighing in his heart: "A plate of loose sand, a plate of loose sand, it is really terrible for the Japanese to kill each other." This sentence was given to the Han people at a certain point in time. Now, Shen Ao returned this sentence a thousand years ago, which was very appropriate.

Shen Ao took a sip of tea and showed the little fox's signature smile: "What can your head of the family promise?"

Poly pondered for a while before saying, "Water Island is a great country. It was originally used by Gongshang Country, but in Kanto, it can be divided into three thousand miles."

Shen Ao shook his head: "As far as I know, Kanto is a wild land on the island of Wa, even if it is three thousand miles away, what's the use? In the past, I went there with friendship and trade. The Kanto area is rich in population and the residence of the king of your country. When I go back, I will tell you the head of the family that I will consider it, but don't give you too much hope."

Polyjiu said anxiously: "What do you want from the prince?"

Since the land cannot touch people's hearts, Polyjiu can only ask this question.

Who knew that Shen Ao was the most indifferent thing: "What do you mean? What can I want in this desolate land of the Japanese island? You said this, it was like I was a profit-seeking person. I read the books of sages, do the work of gentlemen, have noble character, and are honest. Could it be that you are trying to bribe me? To be honest, unless you take out ten thousand miles of land in Kanto and raise 200,000 taels of silver every year, I will never consider Kanto."

Shen Ao's gentleman is straightforward enough, and the price is enough for this, but he is very shameless.

Polyjiu was stunned for a moment. Ten thousand miles was indeed not small. The head of the family was not unable to take out the land in Kanto. The land in Kanto was not worth a few dollars, but only 200,000 taels of silver. Although there were many silver mines there, in the territory, Japan had always been silver-small and copper-small, but it was not a small amount. He hesitated for a moment and pondered: "Prince, I want to think about it. I believe I can give you an answer within three days, which will bother you." After that, he was about to leave.

A lieutenant over there came: "Prince, Deputy Envoy of Japan Henglixin asked for a visit."

As soon as he heard the words Henglixin, Polyjiu could not move his steps and gritted his teeth and said, "Prince, Henglixin is the most cunning. Please don't believe him."

Chen Ao smiled faintly: "I have a clear understanding of whether you are cunning or not. Aren't you leaving? Save the guests!"

Polyjiu was also thick-skinned, but at this time he refused to leave and said, "Prince, if I agreed to those conditions now, can I not see Henglixin?"

Chen Ao showed a philistine smile: "Brother Poly, I don't know whether to say something or not. The rules of my Song Dynasty are different from yours. When doing business, you talk about the market. You didn't agree to the conditions just now, but the market is different. For example, if there is no land in Guandong that covers an area of ​​15,000 miles and you don't take out 300,000 taels of silver every year, how can I agree easily? To be honest, this is still a price. When you see that letter, you may not be sure to increase. You can think about it yourself."

Chen Ao's smiling face was really worth a lot of beating in Polyjiu's eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's settle it first. Which port the prince wants?"

Chen Ao was very energetic and quickly asked someone to take a map. This map was drawn by him according to his memory. It was really not good to praise it. For example, the Japanese country is similar to a bug. The details are definitely not able to be described, but the general location is similar. He pointed to Tokyo Bay with his finger and said, "The land along this bay belongs to the Great Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty garrisons are 5,000 troops. Your head is responsible for 300,000 taels of military expenses. We will raise the others ourselves. How about it?"

This Tokyo Bay is definitely one of the best bays in the world in later generations. In later generations, Japan was densely populated with more than a dozen port cities, and it was the most prosperous. Taking this land was enough to keep the entire Japan, with convenient sailing and a huge ship throughput. At this time, Tokyo Bay was still deserted and did not have much commercial exchanges. It is probably just fishing in some fishing villages along the coast. For Kanto, it is not something that is difficult to give up.

Polyjiu just looked roughly and saw that the main territory of the head of the family was not accommodated, but instead breathed a sigh of relief, bowed deeply and said, "Please, the prince."

After saying that, Polyjiu said goodbye.

When he left, Chen Ao couldn't help but blew the little song, so why did Westerners like to incite civil strife the most? In order to prevent the external force from breaking the balance of separatism, warlords everywhere must bribe each other and understand foreign countries. As long as they can maintain their own status, they dare to agree to any conditions. This is the case with the Japanese. Even if the power of the Song Dynasty cannot be borrowed from Kanto, they must not fall to the Lai Yuan family, otherwise it would be disastrous for the master of Polyjiu.

Today's talk was a big deal to solve the problem of the Great Song Dynasty's sea route. Military strongholds were established everywhere, and the ports of the Great Song Dynasty were transferred. In addition, the pirates along the way could no longer be troubled. The combined conveniences made the safety of maritime merchants greatly guaranteed. On the other hand, the profits obtained by the Great Song Dynasty must be rich. Don't underestimate the ports everywhere. With this, you may not be able to see anything now, but ten or twenty years later, with the management of the Great Song Dynasty, It can definitely be the largest port in all countries. If this port is controlled by the Song Dynasty, it is equivalent to obtaining the customs rights of the various countries. All ships enter and exit, and the surplus of customs does not flow to the various countries, but to the Song Dynasty. With this, the Navy of the Song Dynasty will definitely expand because there are too many ports and profits. In order to ensure the profit and safety of these ports, the imperial court will definitely not reduce its investment in the navy. It can be imagined what the entire Nanyang will end.

On the eve of separatism, the Song Dynasty established a Shanggang in Kanto and occupied such a convenient seaport in Tokyo Bay. At that time, the troops were stationed in Japan, and even interfered with the internal affairs and military affairs of Japan. The situation at that time would definitely be a large amount of silver from Japan. In the end, the warlords had to rely more on the Song Dynasty. As long as they worked hard to operate, it would be foreseeable that Tokyo Bay became the pearl on the East China Sea Bay.
