"A good thing? How can you tell that this is a good thing? Our goods have lost at least nearly 200,000 taels of silver. Even a businessman as big as brother will take several years to make money. These cargo ships are loaded with the people of the Tang Dynasty. , it is the accumulation of the Tang Dynasty court for a long time! It is a pity to lose it like this."
"Although we brought a lot of goods, but think about the future opening up of trade routes, how many merchants will pass through the trade routes we took? We just encountered dangers that we may encounter in the future. If we find problems early, we can Solve the problem. We suffered a loss of goods, but for the Japanese royal family, their credibility has been hit. We can use this as an excuse to make the Japanese royal family guarantee that we will not encounter similar things in the future. Take this opportunity to let the Japanese royal family Completely solve the piracy problem in our country. In the long run, this is a good opportunity.”
Bai Song said, thinking that he had not clearly expressed his dissatisfaction. In the diplomacy between the two countries, they were most afraid of being criticized.
It is true that Bai Song suffered losses, but this loss could not pass silently.
With that said, Bai Song took Bai Rou to find Miss Jizi.
As a representative person who returned from this visit to the Tang Dynasty, Miss Yoshiko should have lived in a military camp with better protection because of her distinguished status.
But in order to show her apology, she took the initiative to share the tent with everyone in the caravan.
Arriving at another tent, Bai Song saw Miss Yoshiko.
"Miss Yoshiko, is this how you treat guests in your country? Even if you can't guarantee our safety, you don't even have a place to live. With your attitude, how can we communicate in the future? As for what Miss Yoshiko promised , how can I believe it?”
Miss Yoshiko was not prepared for this series of events. After all, she had been visiting the Tang Dynasty for more than three years. When she returned to Japan, she had no idea what had happened or what had changed in her home.
Miss Yoshiko had a rare expression of apology. She could no longer express her anger at what Bai Song said last night. She could only apologize and said: "Mr. Bai, I will give you and whatever you want for what happened today." I have given instructions at this time, and I have sent the letter to Donghuang Pavilion. I believe that in two days, the Japanese royal family will receive instructions from Donghuang Pavilion, and they will definitely receive your envoys with the highest standards."
"Does this mean we have to stay in a tent for two more days?"
Miss Yoshiko frowned slightly and nodded helplessly.
Bai Rou followed Bai Song's request and said exactly what she had said to her brother before in front of Miss Yoshiko and several Japanese warriors.
The Japanese people were confused and didn't know how to explain it.
Bai Song also saw a hint of blush on Miss Yoshiko's white face, as if she was really blushing for a rare occasion.
Bai Song said no more, turned around and left with Bai Rou.
The matter has not been resolved well, and now we can only wait according to the existing conditions.
On the second day after arriving in Japan, the fishing village at the port heard that the Tang Dynasty caravan was entering, and some ordinary fishermen from Japan came to watch the excitement.
The fishermen brought the freshest catches and exchanged some cloths that had been soaked in water in the caravan and had to be exchanged cheaply.
The coast was like a small market. On the third day, more ordinary people arrived here, and everyone used their own supplies to exchange items for the caravan.
In these small-scale transactions, Bai Song took Jiumei everywhere to interview local residents about their views on Datang products. On the other hand, he also brought his own selfishness to promote his own tea.
Japan’s tea culture originated in the 13th century, also from China.
But now, the tea culture in Japan is still blank, and the people are not very receptive to tea, especially as a drink. The bitterness of tea is a natural repulsion for early adopters.
Most of the fishermen here are different from the people living in the city who only pursue taste.
Most fishermen spend the day and night, and tea has a reminder effect, which is of great help to the lives of fishermen.
More importantly, the effect of tea is very significant. After a sip of tea, people will wake up immediately.
The reason why the last batch of tea sent to Japan could not be sold from the beginning was mainly because the sales route was wrong.
The previous batch of tea entered Japan and directly entered the circle of Japan's upper class. The acceptance of the upper class was not high, and the people naturally would not accept it.
Now, the Bai Song Dynasty started directly from the grassroots people, and the fishermen's demand for tea was an urgent need.
The fishermen who bought the tea on the first day felt its miraculous effects that day, and brought more people to buy it the next day.
Tea has naturally become the most popular commodity on the coast.
This is a small pilot project. Ordinary people in Japan are very receptive to new things from Datang. However, the goods delivered this time are of high quality and cannot be dealt with in a cheap way to these ordinary people.
So there is very little trade on the coast.
On the fourth day, it was the time promised by Miss Yoshiko.
The team from the Japanese royal family finally arrived, and the goods placed by the caravan on the coast to dry were already dry.
The team that came to receive this time was the second prince of Japan, named Yamada Yumitsu.
Bai Song recognized this person at a glance, because this person was different from ordinary Japanese people. He was very tall. When Bai Song was the giant deer sword-faced saint, he had seen this person at the entrance of the palace.
Because of this man's figure, Bai Song was deeply impressed by him.
The two princes and the third prince represent the vulgarity and cunningness of the Japanese people, while the second prince Yu Guang represents the hypocrisy and cold-bloodedness of the Japanese people.
Because this person gives people a tall and upright image on the surface, but there is a coldness and ruthlessness behind his back, which gives people a bad feeling.
When they met for the first time, Prince Yuguang also greeted Miss Yoshiko first, and then turned to Bai Song, imitating the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, cupping his fists and bowing: "Sir Shijie has worked hard for several months, and it is because of our poor hospitality that we have not treated you well. Please don't be offended."
To Bai Song, the second prince was extremely kind, but after talking to Bai Song, his eyes glanced at the third prince Yamada Narimitsu.
"I heard that this brother of mine actually tolerated Master Shijie as his adoptive father, which really makes you laugh..."
Having said this, Yuguang's eyes narrowed slightly and shot out a cold light.
The third prince was so frightened that he actually hid behind Bai Song.
She was unwilling to recognize her adoptive father before, but now she seems to want her adoptive father to protect her.
The second prince looked at Bai Song again, with a cold smile: "Master Shijie, this brother of mine has always liked to make mischief. The matter of recognizing relatives is just a joke. Don't take it seriously. I will definitely discipline him well in the future and will not let him He is annoying the envoys."
"I, I, I...I am serious, this is not a joke." The third prince said repeatedly.
