When Tokugawa Taiyasu was depressed, Kameda Ichiro and other wealthy businessmen landed on Yellowstone Island.
Tokugawa Taiyasu thought these people were coming to visit him, so he was very happy and greeted them with a big smile: "What gust of wind has brought these Gods of Wealth here..."
He was very well-rounded and wanted to say a few words for the occasion.
Unexpectedly, Kameda Ichiro looked bitter: "Sir, you have to solve the problem for us."
"Solve the problem?"
When Tokugawa Taiyasu heard this, he had a premonition that something was wrong.
Any problem these wealthy businessmen come to solve is definitely not an ordinary problem.
Tokugawa Taiyasu had no time to invite these people to the study.
In fact, Huangshi Island is so small that he doesn't even have a study room.
Tokugawa Taiyasu asked: "What happened again?"
Ichiro Kameda sighed: "Don't you know, Master Tokugawa? Something big has happened in the South China Sea."
When Tokugawa Taiyasu heard that it was an issue in the South China Sea, he couldn't help but feel annoyed and irritable. He sneered at several people: "There is something going on in the South China Sea. Don't I know, but this is my business and has nothing to do with you. You just go about your business." That’s fine, why bother with this? Get out! Get out of here!"
Tokugawa Taiyasu's face turned dark on the spot and ordered his guards to drive people out.
Kameda Ichiro said hurriedly: "Who said it's none of our business? Don't Lord Tokugawa know that we can't even do business now?"
Tokugawa Taiyasu angrily said: "Who stopped you from doing business? Why can't you do business? Who stopped you from doing business?"
Ichiro Kameda said angrily: "In the past few days, we merchants have all been shut down when doing business with the fifteen countries in the South China Sea. No country in the fifteen countries in the South China Sea has bought our goods, and no country has exported goods to us. , does Tokugawa-sama know about this?"
"What?"
When Tokugawa Taiyasu heard this, his head exploded: "Is this happening?"
Ichiro Kameda sighed: "There are even more terrifying things. I passed through the Yishu Strait today and wanted to do Western trade. Unexpectedly, I was stopped by Yan Qisheng. Yan Qi said that he was holding a military exercise and was not allowed to pass. What can I do now?"
Hearing this, Tokugawa Taiyasu was stunned: "Military exercises are still being held on Yizhou Island? Aren't they all over? Why are they starting again? This is too nonsense."
When Tokugawa Taiyasu heard Kameda Ichiro's complaints, he was shocked.
Kameda Ichiro asked Tokugawa Taiyasu: "Has Lord Tokugawa realized the seriousness of the matter? One is related to South China Sea trade, and the other is related to Western trade. Now both trades cannot continue. You are in charge of South China Sea affairs, always Please give me an explanation."
"Yes, you need to give us an explanation."
"If this continues for a long time, will Japan's business still be open?"
…
A group of wealthy businessmen started to question Tokugawa Taiyasu.
Tokugawa Taiyasu was overwhelmed and upset: "Shut up, shut up! What's the hurry? Can the sky fall?"
Ichiro Kameda also looked unhappy: "Has Lord Tokugawa not realized the seriousness of the matter? If this matter is not handled well, the sky will really fall."
Tokugawa Taiyasu's face was livid: "Are you threatening me? Are you teaching me how to do things? Who are you? Are you giving me face?"
Kameda Ichiro took out foreign trade statistics: "South China Sea trade is extremely important, accounting for 50% of Japan's trade, and Western trade accounts for 20% of Japan's trade. Together, the two account for 100% of Japan's trade. Seventy percent.”
"If trade is stopped for a long time and Japan's foreign trade all returns to zero, won't Japan's economy collapse immediately?"
"When the time comes, it won't be businessmen like us who come to our door, but the Japanese shogunate of all sizes."
After listening to Kameda Ichiro's words, Tokugawa Taiyasu's heart skipped a beat.
He knew that things were serious.
If this matter is not handled well, he may never be able to govern the South China Sea again.
Tokugawa Taikang thought for a while and gritted his teeth: "Don't worry, I will go to the South China Sea countries and ask clearly. I don't believe that they dare to terminate trade with Japan."
Kameda Ichiro said: "We are waiting for good news from your lord."
…
Tokugawa Taikang did not dare to delay and took care of the matter immediately.
The first country he thought of was Pawnee.
Because Pawnee is the weakest.
It should be easiest to start from the Pawnee country and use coercion and inducement.
He hurried to Pawnee country.
Unexpectedly, I didn’t even go up to the pier and just ate to hold it back.
Tokugawa Taiyasu is so angry.
Unexpectedly, the small country of Pawnee, a place with a big nose, would dare to challenge him.
He really wanted to send out a large army to crush the Pawnee country and let out a bad breath.
However, the time has not come yet, so we must endure it.
Tokugawa Taikang sent people to several surrounding countries.
However, they were all rejected.
None of the South China Sea rulers agreed to resume trade.
Some don't even have a reason.
Even if there is a reason, it will be treated casually and perfunctorily.
Tokugawa Taikang had no choice but to bite the bullet and head to Yizhou Island.
This time it went well.
Yan Qi actually agreed to meet him.
…
study!
"Hahaha!"
Yan Qi's smile was particularly cordial: "What gust of wind brought Lord Tokugawa here? I remember the last time I met Lord Tokugawa, Tokugawa kept saying that he wanted to meet me with swordsmanship!"
"From that day on, I have been holding a knife, waiting for a contest with Lord Tokugawa."
"But, I waited and waited, but you didn't show up. What's wrong? Are you scared? Are you a coward? Hahahaha..."
Tokugawa Taiyasu is so frustrated.
Unexpectedly, Yan Qi was ridiculing him before he even discussed the matter.
Tokugawa Taikang suppressed his anger: "Master Yan, the business between Japan and the South China Sea countries has been interrupted. Is it your fault? If you are a man, don't deny it."
Yan Qi's expression narrowed: "What can't be admitted? The trade between Japan and the South China Sea was indeed interrupted, and it was all done by me. If you come to me, you are looking for the right person. But I want to clarify that this matter It's all fair and aboveboard, it's not some kind of trick."
Tokugawa Taikang was furious and his voice was high-octave: "Okay, Yan Qi, it was indeed you who did it. Why do you interrupt the trade between Japan and the fifteen countries in the South China Sea? You are a Chinese, why do you interfere in other countries' business?" "
Yan Qi's eyes were cold and stern: "That's wrong!"
"First, Dahua has resumed tributary relations with most countries in the South China Sea. Dahua is their suzerain state, so it is natural for them to care about and intervene in many major events."
"Second, the countries in the South China Sea have established a trade committee, and I am the leader of the trade committee. I need to make the final decision on all major business and trade events."
"You said, based on these two reasons, don't I have the right to terminate the trade between the fifteen countries in the South China Sea and Japan?"
"you……"
Deri Taikang was furious after hearing Yan Qi's words.
I feel even more timid.
South China Sea Trade Commission?
Yan Qi is the boss?
idiot!
Isn't this bad?
