Thirty-seven deals
...
"In other words, Liu Ce is unwilling to recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown, so he returns to my Jiang family?"
"Uncle San, please give me some time to persuade Liu Ce. After all, I can't accept it if I tell him such a big thing..."
The next morning, Jiang Xun discussed with him about recognizing his relatives last night in Jiang Ming's room. However, after hearing Jiang Xun's words, Jiang Ming was not surprised, as if all this was expected.
"Since Liu Ce is unwilling to return to the Jiang family now, there is no need to force him..." Jiang Ming said with tea, "As long as he understands that the blood of the Jiang family is flowing on his body, he is the descendant of my Jiang family. Take the rest slowly, and you can't be anxious..."
Jiang Xun was stunned and said to Jiang Ming: "San Uncle, what do you mean?"
Jiang Ming smiled and packed up his clothes and explained to Jiang Xun: "I originally wanted Liu Ce to recognize his ancestors, but what I saw and heard along the Far East made me temporarily give up this idea.
If you think about it carefully, the people in the Far East are now following Liu Cema. If he was asked to change back to Jiang's surname at this time, would this good situation be broken and had an extremely adverse impact on him?
You have been in the Far East for decades, and you should have a better understanding of the tricks in this than us. It would be good if Liu Ce really relied on his ancestors and restored the surname Jiang, but he insisted on not wanting it, so there was no need to force him.
After all, the content of the two words Liu Ce is much larger than that of Jiang Rui. Think about it carefully, what benefits will this bring to our Jiang family?
Besides, wasn’t Lu Shang also a member of our Jiang family? Didn’t he change his name to help Taizu Wei Huang establish the Great Zhou Dynasty? I think your Silang’s courage will not lose to the famous names like Lu Shang.
Erlang, the overall situation is the most important thing. Don’t act irritably. Just let him continue to use the name Liu Ce. Perhaps it won’t take long, and it will bring immeasurable benefits to my Jiang family..."
Jiang Xun thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then sighed: "It's just that I told him the truth about the matter last night. I'm afraid that Liu Ce will have prejudice against me, a father. After all, back then..."
"Don't mention the things that happened back then..." Jiang Ming washed his face and continued, "All this is your father's plan. Alas, it's a pity that my elder brother finally paid a heavy price for what he did, together with your brother..."
Speaking of this, Jiang Ming paused and stopped talking, carefully looking at Jiang Xun's expression.
Jiang Xun said: "No need to care about the third uncle. It's been so many years, and I'm used to it..."
"Oh..." Jiang Ming sighed and nodded, "Okay, let's have a good time with your Silang and ask what he lacks now so as to help him solve the confusion in front of him. Let's go, I'm hungry..."
Jiang Xun nodded and walked towards the office with Jiang Ming.
...
At this moment, Liu Ce was meeting a team of merchants in the front hall of the Military Governor's Office, in order to meet with Jiang Bai in Jeju Beach, Liaodong, when the burly Yingzhou man went to Yilong.
"Your Excellency Military Governor, we are ordered to negotiate with you. The sugarcane, sulfur, grains and rice seeds you need, and other goods and silver on your list and transactions have arrived in Youzhou. Please accept this account..."
Yilong, Shangshan respectfully submitted a blue account book to Liu Ce's case.
Liu Ce took it and looked at it a few times, then closed it, and said to Shin Yesun, "Mr. Shin Yesun, I have heard that your Shin Yesun family is known for its loyalty in Yingzhou. Kazuzemaru asked you to be the head of the caravan and be responsible for the transaction with the Far East. I believe he also attaches great importance to this cooperation plan..."
Shangshan Yilong bowed and said, "I don't want the military governor to know so much about my Shangshan family. I am really terrified. The city lord really attaches great importance to the cooperation with the military governor..."
Liu Ce said: "As these days, you must have some understanding of the situation in the Far East. This military governor wants to hear your opinion. Mr. Shangshan doesn't need to be polite, sit down and talk..."
After Yilong thanked the shirt, he sat in his guest seat and said to Liu Ce: "Governor, along the way, I can only describe my understanding of the Far East with two words of admiration. Apart from this, I really can't find other words.
Of course, the biggest feeling that the military governor gave me under the rule is peace. This is something that is really lacking in Yingzhou. If you can see that Yingzhou has a peaceful and peaceful situation like the Far East in your lifetime, I will be able to rest even if I die..."
"Mr. Shangshan praised..." Liu Ce smiled faintly, "It is rare for a distinguished guest to come to the Far East. This military governor will fulfill his friendship with a landlord. Why not arrange for the husband's residence to rest here for a few days?"
"No hurry..." said Yoshinori Uchiyasu, "It's not too late to negotiate transactions with the Governor..."
Liu Ce nodded, took a book of this article and asked the servant to send it to Shangshan Yilong: "The first batch of 3.5 million kilograms of iron materials traded this time have been prepared by this military governor. Mr. Shangshan will take a look at what problems are there..."
Yoshitaka Uchi took the document, nodded and bowed politely to the servant, and then read it carefully.
After a long time, Yoshitaka closed the document book, closed his eyes and frowned, as if something was brewing.
"Mr. Shangshan has any doubts about this? Could it be that the amount of iron is wrong?" Liu Ce asked.
Yilong, Shangshan shook his head, stood up and said to Liu Ce, "No, Mr. Military Admiral, don't misunderstand it. It's just that there is so much iron material. I am afraid that the fleet I brought will not be able to be transported back to Yingzhou at one time. Can I change the transaction method?"
Liu Ce asked with a frown: "How to trade according to Mr. Shangshan's meaning?"
Yilong, Shangshan, bowed and said, "Governor, can you replace the iron material with weapons? This will also be convenient for transportation..."
"Yes..." Liu Ce agreed without thinking, "It is indeed not easy to transport millions of kilograms of iron. Since Mr. Shangshan has such a proposal, how could this military governor refuse?
Let’s do this, follow this military governor to go to the arsenal to choose from and see which ones are suitable for you. I can let the Military Affairs Office prepare it for you..."
Yilong, Shangshan, was startled and said: "Governor, what do you mean is to take me to the arsenal to select weapons?"
Liu Ce asked back, "What? Mr. Shangshan doesn't want it?"
"No, no..." Yoshitaka Uchi looked a little excited, "I just didn't expect that the military governor trusted me so much. I was a little at a loss for a moment..."
The armory is the trump card of a force and will never be easily shown to others, especially in the feudal monarchy era, iron mining and casting were not accurate. If the enemy knew the reserve status of the armory, it would undoubtedly be quite fatal.
Therefore, it is expected that Yi Takashi Shangshan has this expression...
Liu Ce knew what Shangshan Yilong was thinking, but he didn't know that this was his calculation. He stood up and said, "It's okay, doing business is about integrity. This is the first time that this military governor has started trade cooperation with overseas countries. Of course, he must be honest. Please move the emperor to come with this military governor..."
Shangshan Yilong took the merchants together and bowed, following Liu Ce all the way to the armory.
I didn't expect that as soon as I went out, I met Jiang Xun, Jiang Ming and Jiang Ang, and Jiang Jing appeared in my eyes.
"Are you from Yingzhou again?"
When Jiang Ming saw the outfits of Shangshan Yilong and those businessmen, he immediately frowned and felt very dissatisfied.
After all, the Japanese gangs disturbed the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and it is reasonable that the Jiang family generally has no good feelings for them.
Through the descriptions of Jiang Xun and himself last night, Liu Ce understood that these were relatives of his body. Although the plot was very bloody, he had to accept this fact and bowed to them, saying, "Several elders, I have important things to deal with now, so please go into the house first..."
Jiang Ming smiled and said, "What is the matter between Hanling Hou? I happened to have some serious matters to discuss with you..."
Liu Ce replied: "Third Master, come first and then come in everything. I have business dealings with this distinguished customer. Now I will take them to inspect the goods..."
"A coincidence..." Jiang Ming said, "I came to find Hanling Marquis today for some business. I have long heard that Hanling Marquis's troops are well-equipped and planned to buy a group of people who go back to resist the coastal sluts..."
When they said this last, Jiang Ming, Jiang Ang and Jiang Jing glanced at Shangshan Yilong intentionally or unintentionally.
Yoshitaka Kamishiro naturally understood that the "sluts" these people meant those pirates, but he didn't say much, just nodded respectfully to them.
When Liu Ce heard that Jiang Ming was planning to purchase weapons, he smiled slightly: "It just so happened that this distinguished guest came to purchase weapons. Since that's the case, several elders might as well accompany him..."
Then, under the leadership of Liu Ce, the group walked towards the armory...
...
"Sodasi pinch..."
"Oh my god, so many weapons..."
"Bodhisattva, how could we have seen so many weapons in Yingzhou..."
When Liu Ce took them to the warehouse where the arms were hoarded, and looked at the neatly arranged armory inside, the Yingzhou Langren were completely stunned.
Judging from the visual perspective alone, those swords and spearheads probably exceeded 100,000, and there were also stair bows with a total of one stone. This was just the periphery of the armory.
Even Yoshitaka, who had always been calm and composed, was deeply shocked by all this in front of him. He came to a well-made step bow, caressed him for a while, feeling the cold touch of the good wood wrapped in copper, and his heart was surging.
Not only these Yingzhou people, but even the Jiang family, who had seen the world, were stunned and looked around the armory.
Seeing them, the group of "country bullies" watching the weapons, Liu Ce simply found a rocking chair and sat down, quietly waiting for them to choose the weapons they wanted to buy before talking about them.
In fact, the weapons under Liu Ce have been in stock, and a batch of old-fashioned weapons are urgently needed to be dealt with in his eyes. They are the best-quality weapons in the eyes of Jiang Family and Shang Shan Yilong.
Under his own rule, manganese steel has been mass-produced. He plans to completely replace the existing fine iron equipment of the Far East Army. Those armor-piercing that take a long time to work have been gradually replaced by plate armors with better defense and cheaper prices due to the sophisticated hammer technology. He also plans to eliminate them in exchange for the resources he wants.
As for the bulky catapults in the inner warehouse, Liu Ce was also considering planning to start selling them. After all, his military factory has begun to try to forge four-pound to eight-pound cannons. Once successful, these backward equipment can receive even greater funding.
What is the most profitable business in this world? Of course it is arms. In the highly civilized world in the previous life, arms dealers monopolized arms business in countries around the world. Why? You may not believe it, because even in the 21st century, most countries on the earth still cannot create weapons from World War II! This is the power brought by technology!
