"The student understands what sir means." Jiang Wei suddenly understood and said happily: "As long as we provide the Japanese country with a large amount of food, then they will definitely pull more people out of the fields and send them to the battlefield. Between them The conflict will become more and more serious, and naturally the losses on both sides will be greater, and the national power of Japan will be consumed rapidly."
"Yes, that's right." Han Du smiled and nodded towards Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei was also happy. He was able to see through his husband's intentions in a short period of time. Although he had the teacher's advice, he was still very happy.
"If it's just like this, it's not enough!" Han Du said meaningfully, looking at the smile on Jiang Wei's face.
Jiang Wei's proud look froze on his face, and he immediately realized what he was doing, and asked foolishly: "Is there still a purpose?"
Han Du took a sip of tea and explained in a calm voice: "Our purpose is to allow both sides of the Japanese country to fight with confidence. It is best to allow them to devote all their people to the war. When the Japanese country is gone, Once people are farming, we will cut off the grain directly to them without selling a single grain to them.”
"In this case, the Japanese people will only starve to death..." Jiang Wei looked miserable, and even he was frightened by Han Du's words, as if he had seen the scene of the Japanese starving to death.
Han Du said nothing. Whether Jiang Wei could come out of his heart depends entirely on him. If Jiang Wei can't come out, Han Du will feel sorry. The book of sages puts benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust first, but Han Du hopes that Jiang Wei can understand that these can only be seen by the people of the Ming Dynasty, and outsiders will naturally regard them as enemies.
After a long time, Jiang Wei suddenly roared and shouted: "Anyone who is not of my race must have a different mind. The student is willing to obey the teacher's instructions."
"Haha, okay." Seeing Jiang Wei make such a determination, Han Du became truly happy.
...
Han Du lived in the Governor's Mansion, and the leisurely half month passed quickly.
Han Du was staying at the Governor's Mansion these days, so Jiang Wei naturally left the best house for Han Du to live in, and prepared the best food, clothing, housing and transportation for Han Du.
And Han Du also took advantage of Hosokawa's arrival and walked around the Governor's Palace and the port. I saw a lot of people and things in the past few days, which was a bit rewarding.
On this day, Han Du was still sitting in his room with Tan Qing.
Jiang Wei hurried over, raised his hands to Han Du and said, "Sir, the Hosokawa clan's people have arrived."
"Oh?" Han Dumo calculated that only thirteen days had passed since he arrived here. In other words, Hosokawa's people came two days in advance. Don't underestimate these two days. Sometimes even arriving two days early can explain the problem.
"Where are they?" Han Du asked again.
Jiang Wei quickly said: "Every time people from the Hosokawa family come here, they will not live in the place arranged by the students. They always find a place to live by themselves, and they will not officially come to negotiate deals with the students until tomorrow. .”
Tan Qing was very surprised when Jiang Wei talked about these Japanese people. He smiled doubtfully and said, "Instead of living in the place you arranged, they have to find a place to live by themselves. What are they going to do?"
Han Du smiled slightly and shook his head, saying: "These Japanese people obviously don't fully trust you as the governor!"
Jiang Wei nodded with a smile and said indifferently: "I have never seen anyone as suspicious as these Japanese people, let alone me. Sometimes I find that they don't trust each other."
Han Du nodded and said with a smile: "This is a typical robber who has been doing this for a long time. Everyone is a robber. It can be regarded as a sign of the guilty conscience of all thieves."
"Sir, what you said is very true." Jiang Wei's eyes lit up, and he admired his master for being able to vividly portray the image of the Japanese in just a few words.
Then he said with a smile: "But I didn't care whether they trusted me or not. Anyway, as long as I can still do business."
Han Du stopped chatting with Jiang Wei and asked instead, "When are they going to see you this time?"
"It will still be tomorrow morning." Jiang Wei replied.
Han Du laughed and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. I want to see what these Japanese people can do?"
"Of course they will not be Mr.'s opponent." Jiang Wei agreed with a smile and gently flattered Han Du.
Han Du suddenly laughed and said, "That's not necessarily the case. There are some smart people among the Japanese. You can't underestimate the enemy."
"Yes, sir." Jiang Wei's face straightened and he immediately bowed and replied.
The next day, Mr. Hosokawa came as promised.
Jiang Wei sent his subordinates to take them into a room and deliberately let them have a meal before walking in front with Han Du and Tan Qing.
Before he had a clear look at the Hosokawa family, Jiang Wei smiled and held his hands in his hands, saying, "I am a little late because of my busy schedule. I have a lot of work to do."
When the Japanese merchants saw Jiang Wei arriving, they immediately stood up and bowed to Jiang Wei. "Your Excellency, the Governor, is busy with affairs. We can wait, as long as His Excellency, the Governor, can see me."
The leading Japanese man actually spoke the Ming Dynasty Mandarin. Although his pronunciation sounded a bit strange, he spoke the Ming Dynasty Mandarin.
It seemed that there were capable people among the Japanese. Han Du glanced at them subconsciously. The next moment, Han Du's eyes passed over the leading Japanese and stopped on a woman behind him.
This woman's head was full of black hair with high bulges, and she had something similar to a hairpin on her head. Her forehead was smooth and slightly raised, her skin was fair and glowing, and her eyebrows were delicate and slender. Although her eyes were lowered and she did not look at Han Du, just through her eyelashes, you could imagine what was hidden behind them. What a pair of big, smart eyes. The bridge of the nose is narrow and high, and the small Qiong nose actually gives people a great temptation. The lips have sharp edges and corners, yet are pink and attractive even without makeup. The two lines of his smooth chin stretched upward in an arc, outlining a charming oval face. The unique kimono was worn on her body, and the originally loose clothes became tight.
What Han Du values is not the beauty of this woman, but the aura on her body that cannot be concealed. This aura was all too familiar to Han Du, it was the aura of someone who had been in power for a long time.
However, although Han Du did not indulge in the beauty of this woman, some people could not hold back.
Since Tan Qing heard about the reputation of Silla Maid, he couldn't wait to spend some money to buy one. He has enjoyed it a lot these days. But when he saw this woman, there was no room for anyone else in his eyes. Looking straight at this woman, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Compared with this woman, the Silla maid who had made him very satisfied these days suddenly became like a dregs.
Han Du frowned when he heard a faint sound of swallowing. He turned around and saw Tan Qing's embarrassing performance, and his eyes suddenly became cold and stern.
Tan Qing was indulging in this woman's temptation when he suddenly felt a cold needle-pricking sensation. When he came back to his senses, he saw Han Du staring at him coldly. Tan Qing knew that he was embarrassed in front of Han Du, so he quickly lowered his head in shame.
The people standing outside the window are looking at the scenery on the bridge, but they don’t expect that the people on the bridge are also looking at you!
Han Du didn't expect that the moment he looked at Tan Qing. The woman's lowered beautiful eyes suddenly raised and glanced towards Han Du, and a glimmer of light appeared in the woman's big eyes. Seeing Han Du turn around, a smile appeared on the woman's lips, and her eyes naturally lowered again.
"Please sit down." Jiang Wei stretched out his hand to signal, and then sat down on his own. In terms of status, he is the host; in terms of dignity, he is the dignified governor of Jeolla Province in the Ming Dynasty. He is a third-rank official. Even in the Ming Dynasty, he is still a frontier official. Moreover, because the governor-general combined military and political power and held great power, his status was actually more noble than the chief envoys of the provinces.
And these Japanese businessmen are just ordinary Japanese people. Even if they have the Hosokawa clan behind them, their identity may be able to run rampant in the southern part of Japan. In the Governor's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, there is not enough to see.
Sure enough, even Jiang Wei sat down first. The Hosokawa merchant still looked very grateful. After bowing and greeting, he sat down cautiously with a flattered look on his face.
The Hosokawa merchant glanced at Han Du and Tan Qing and asked in confusion: "May I ask, Your Excellency, the Governor, why haven't we met these two before?"
Jiang Wei didn't even look back, and said casually without changing his expression: "The two people in the past have already achieved great success, and now I, the governor, have re-selected these two people."
"That's it. Congratulations to those two adults on their promotion, and I also wish the two current adults an early promotion." The merchant of the Hosokawa clan looked apologetic.
When Jiang Wei saw the Japanese sitting down, he also glanced at the person behind him and asked, "Who is this girl? Why haven't I seen her before, the governor?"
Hosokawa bowed and explained with a smile: "Your Majesty the Governor, this is my little girl. She has admired the magnificence of the Ming Dynasty since she was a child. Knowing that the villain was coming here, she begged to take her with him to experience it. The villain couldn't shirk it, so he had to take her with him. Come and see the prosperity of Ming Dynasty."
Although this girl is young and beautiful, her whole body is full of temptations that make people want to be moved. But it was not like Jiang Wei had never seen the beautiful Leng Tou Qing before. He just glanced at her and then withdrew his gaze.
He casually praised: "There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. It is much more useful to go out and gain some knowledge than to study hard."
"Yes, yes, good words, Governor-General." Mr. Hosokawa thanked him with a smile.
After the greetings, Jiang Wei said bluntly, "You came here just now. What did you bring, and what do you want to exchange?"
When Mr. Hosokawa saw that business was about to begin, he immediately straightened his expression and said with a respectful attitude, "This little man has brought fifty famous swords, one thousand folding fans, and one million taels of silver."
Jiang Wei was stunned when he heard this, and then said with deep meaning: "It seems that you have a big appetite this time!"
