Sumama put her hand on her chest, almost gasping for air.
Five hundred years?
Five hundred years from now, my grandson’s grandson’s grandsons will all be dead. How is this different from usurpation?
The people of Tang Dynasty were greedy and unreasonable!
"It's impossible! Twenty years at most!"
Sumo is very forceful in his reasoning, and is ready to flip the table if he disagrees with someone.
Fang Jun disagreed.
How dare you lift the table? Do you believe that I will wipe out Asuka Jing tomorrow?
"As you get older, you have to be less angry. Only by knowing how to maintain your health can you live a long time..." Fang Junpi smiled, and his expression gradually became cold: "It's okay not to rent. The Tang people who were tortured and killed on Sado Island attacked the island. The soldiers who died in the battle, the damaged warships, and the loss of face of the Tang Dynasty... I will give you a friendly price of two million guan. As long as the money is paid, the Tang army will withdraw immediately. "
Sumama said calmly: "This is ridiculous. How can you have so much money?"
Fang Jun sneered and said, "You are talking to me. I'm telling you two million guan. Believe it or not, I will submit this matter to His Majesty the Emperor in Chang'an City and ask him to make a decision. The order issued must be to pacify the Japanese country and bring down the Japanese empire." You old man tied up Chang'an and carried a thorn to plead guilty?"
Sumama was so excited that he shuddered and didn't dare to say more.
Only then did he remember that the wise and mighty emperor of the Tang Dynasty had a deep obsession with the land, otherwise he would not have been plotting the land of Goguryeo since the day he ascended the throne, and always aimed at destroying Goguryeo. No matter whether it is domestic or foreign affairs, the whole world knows about them.
If Fang Jun really reported the affairs of the Japanese country to the emperor in a jealous manner, there is no way that the emperor would really wave his hand. By then, tens of thousands of Tang troops would cross the sea, and the Japanese country would be wiped out and the country would be in ruins...
The Tang Dynasty is so domineering!
Thinking of this, Suagama didn't dare to argue with Fang Jun, so he had to hold his nose and acknowledge the five-hundred-year lease of Sado Island. As for the rent... I don't expect to give him a lot of money. It's just a symbolic meaning. , he doesn’t even want to mention it, and gets angry whenever he mentions it...
"That's fine with Sado Island, but Nambazu absolutely cannot be rented."
"You are a senior, so you should be well-informed, but you are wrong..."
After the negotiation on Sado Island, Fang Jun was in a good mood. His dark face turned cloudy, and he smiled and said: "It is said that there is no wealth without merchants. Why is the Tang Dynasty so strong now? It is because the imperial court strongly supports merchants, and goods from the north and south are exchanged. When it flows, wealth will also flow, which will bring huge tax revenue to the court and support the construction and reform of the army. Once Nambajin becomes a treaty port, there will be a large number of people from the Tang Dynasty, as well as Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and even Nanyang. Merchants from various countries are flocking here! But who said that with the current situation of the Japanese country, it would be possible to retain all the wealth brought by these merchants?"
Suama Lishi was silent.
He is not good at economics. Not only him, but also few in the entire Japanese kingdom are proficient in this...
But he still understands the truth. With so many merchants bringing money, they must have goods to sell to them. However, the Japanese island is long and narrow, with many mountains and rivers, and transportation is extremely inconvenient. There are also various feudal states guarding all parts of the world, and the circulation of goods is difficult. is a big problem.
It is very likely that businessmen from various countries came with money, but could not buy suitable goods...
Before he could speak, Fang Jun continued: "So, if you want to expand the market of Japan, it is imperative to retain all the merchants traveling from south to north, expand Nambajin, and build Nambajin into the largest commercial center of Japan. . The Tang Dynasty needs to invest huge manpower and material resources to implement this project. As long as it is completed, the biggest benefit will be not the Tang Dynasty, but the Japanese country. Senior, you hope that the Tang Dynasty will make a fuss in Nambajin for a few days and then withdraw. Or do you hope that the Tang Dynasty will build Nambajin into the largest seaport of the Japanese country, create a steady stream of profits for the Japanese country every year to support all the ambitions of the predecessors, and then leave behind a brightest pearl on the seven seas when it is time to leave?"
Suamalishi blinked, confused...
The lease of Nambazu must be the same as that of Sado Island for 500 years, so when Fang Jun said something like leaving a bright pearl behind, he only felt humiliated and disgusted.
But the huge profits mentioned by Fang Jun made Sumo Lishi's heart move...
What does he lack most now?
We can be short of everything, we are short of soldiers, we are short of food, but the biggest shortage is money.
Continuous wars and political turmoil have turned the entire Asuka Capital into a scorched earth. A large number of civilians have either died in the war or fled to other places. If you want to restore Asuka Capital's past prosperity, it is necessary to invest a lot of money.
To stabilize the Suga family's position and power, more money is needed.
The prosperity of merchants in the Tang Dynasty now spread all over the world, and not only a lot of wealth is transported from the Western Regions and the sea to the Tang Dynasty every day. If the Tang Dynasty opened a port in Nambajin and then vigorously built it, it would indeed be a good thing for the Japanese country to expand their financial resources.
Sumo's situation was difficult to resolve for a while, so he remained silent.
Fang Jun didn't push him too hard, he poured tea for him with his own hands, and then talked with a smile.
Wang Xuance, who had been silent but had noticed Fang Jun's cheating and inducement tactics throughout the whole process, suddenly felt a surge of pride in his heart.
He felt that sitting here and talking sharply, although it was not as generous and heroic as fighting with one's life in battle, but speaking eloquently and scolding Fang Qiu could maximize the advantage of the soldiers in front who fought with their lives. Interests.
During the conversation, they may be chatting and laughing, or scolding, or feeling like a spring breeze, or pressing hard, and there is no need to be inferior to thousands of troops!
Since arriving on Sado Island, how many battles have been fought and how many people have died?
But on this dining table, an island with huge gold and silver mines was rented for five hundred years, an excellent waterport that tightly choked the throat of Japan was obtained, and even the huge Japanese market was about to be opened to merchants from the entire Tang Dynasty. …
An excellent diplomat, no matter how high or low he is, is in no way inferior to an army!
And looking at Suama Lishi, the current lord of the Japanese country, retreating step by step under Fang Jun's persuasion and hard force, frowning and filled with anger, but helpless and helpless, that sense of accomplishment... it's simply So refreshing!
Wang Xuance is self-aware. Although he is not incapable of tying a chicken, he can also carry a knife and carry a spear, but when it comes to killing enemies on the battlefield, he has no talent. If he wants to make a career in the army, he will marry his wife. Yinzi is simply as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Now I suddenly discovered that I am not without merit. Perhaps just like Fang Jun, who is as strategizing and sharp-tongued as he is right now, I can create something new...
So I calmed my mind and paid attention to Fang Jun's every move, the intention of every word, the meaning of every action, and even interfered with Fang Jun's timing to try to figure out whether there was a deeper purpose hidden behind it. .
How did Fang Jun know that he had become a "role model" in Wang Xuance's eyes?
It's said to be a lease, but a five-hundred-year lease has never happened before, and it's not much different from ceding land. It's probably just a different way of saying it... But fortunately, with both soft and hard tactics, I finally convinced the old dog Sumamarishi to nod. Agree, and the rest of the negotiations went naturally smoothly.
When Fang Jun mentioned "extraterritoriality", Suama Lishi agreed without any hesitation, and even felt quite disdainful in his heart. If he added this, wouldn't it be like taking off his pants and farting - unnecessary?
Since ancient times, the Han people have been superior to others. Except for the Turks and other barbarians, which country in the world dares to disrespect the Han people? Even if Han people commit crimes in other countries, no country would dare to punish them severely in accordance with the law. There will always be some leeway.
The word "Han" itself represents civilization, wealth, nobility, and strength!
It's just that such conventional rules have never been seen in writing in the past, and Suama Lishi has never heard of such uncommon words as "extraterritoriality"...
But when Fang Jun explained the meaning, Suama Lishi immediately agreed.
When people in the Tang Dynasty broke the law, could they be guilty of the same crime as those in Japan?
Of course it was impossible. Any Tang people who were able to cross the ocean and come to the Japanese country were either well-educated Confucianists, wealthy businessmen, or bureaucrats... No matter who they were, the Japanese country would treat them with courtesy, at least on the surface.
Of course, there are also some stupid and naughty people who slaughter a few people, which will make the Tang people furious and the consequences will be unimaginable...
For example, the Tang envoy dog was sent to Japan.
This guy offended Wei Wang Li Tai and Fang Jun in Chang'an. For this, he implicated Li Xiaoyou, the minister of Honglu Temple, and was severely beaten by Li Tai. However, after harming the Lu family and his wife in Chang'an City, he fled far away. He hid all the way and finally returned to Japan on a merchant ship. He lied to the emperor about the military situation and said that he was in such a situation because he was robbed by robbers on the road. He also said that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was responsible for It's quite a courtesy.
The emperor was very happy, rewarded him with many things, and promoted him to an official.
As a result, today Fang Jun proposed to Sumo Lishi that while we are negotiating, you have to hand over this dog Shangri to me, and I will take him back to Chang'an for questioning.
Suama Lishi didn't even know who this dog was, so he naturally agreed.
In fact, even if Inugami was his biological father, he would not dare to disagree. If he refused, Fang Jun might lead his troops into Asukajing and go from house to house to find him...
