A few days later, Sun You unexpectedly learned that the familiar old man turned out to be the captain of the ship he was in.

There are many types of maritime businessmen. Due to Xie Hong's righteous civil policy, most of the people who are qualified to participate in maritime trade are small businessmen with low financial resources.

Some of these people chose to join forces with other merchants to rent a sea boat, and a few of them had the strength to book one or several ships themselves. In the fleet, such ships accounted for about half. The rest were all small merchants like Sun Li who worked alone.

Since there are a large number of North Korean sailors and can gather into a fleet of dozens of ships, the charter merchants only need one navigation service. This navigator is sent by the Shipping Department, and other affairs such as internal management are resolved by them.

Although Sun Li is also a North Korean sailor, the merchants are all working alone, and some even bring a few friends. There are not many people who are alone on the road, and so many people cannot form unified management, so the Shipping Department appointed a group of captains.

Sun Li heard that these captains were selected from the people who went out to the sea with the Marquis, and were generally from Liaodong. They had been to Japan and were trained by the Zi Shipbuilding Department and had a good understanding of the situation in Japan. Their responsibilities were not only to manage ships, but also to guide merchants to trade.

Although he was a little suspicious about Old Man Hu's hometown, Sun Li was still concerned after that conversation. He believed that no matter whether he was from Shandong or Liaodong, as long as he was under the command of the Marquis, he would not lie. In other words, Japan may be even more weird than he thought.

However, it is impossible to imagine how weird it is, and it still needs to be seen in practice. After thinking about it for a few days, Sun Li put down these unnecessary thoughts and became more eager to reach his destination.

"Look! I saw the land this time, right?" On this day, the fleet became noisy again. It was difficult for people who had not sailed out of the sea to experience this excitement.

Two days ago, everyone was so excited that the fleet passed by a piece of land, and then stopped on a large island. The merchants were very happy and thought they had arrived at their destination. But the result made them very disappointed that the land they saw from afar was North Korea, and this large island was Jeju Island, which is the Ming military port.

It’s not that no one was surprised. How could the Ming Dynasty set up a military port so far from its homeland? It’s not that no one noticed that the Koreans on the island were very respectful, but no one thought too much, and their hearts were filled with disappointment. It was not until they were told that Jeju Island was not far from their real destination that the merchants regained their spirits.

"This time, this is Japan. However, the destination of our ship is not here. We will have to walk for a few more days. Although it is not as good as our Ming Dynasty, the Japanese island is actually very large." Agitated by the noise, Hu Cheng appeared on the deck with a wine pot.

"You still have to leave?" A sigh sounded around someone pointed to the clearly visible port and said, "But aren't there many ships parked there? Why can they dock?" "It's where the Governor's Office is located, and we also have to go there to see which trade route we are divided into." Although we were drinking, Hu Cheng's mind was very sober and spoke in an orderly manner. On the contrary, the merchants were concerned about the interests.

“Business Road?”

"That's right, we have so many people and so many ships and cargoes, of course we can't squeeze into one place to sell. Although there is a lot of gold and silver in Japan, it is scattered all over the place. How can we hold up so many people in Nagasaki or Kyushu Island alone? Haha.

Hu Cheng's explanation is not very thorough, but the maritime merchants also believe this. There are too many things to sell, so the price will definitely not be raised. It is like this everywhere, so no one continues to yell. The one-month voyage has gone, are there still a few days left?

The Governor's Office is still so simple, but no sea commerce will pay attention to these things, which will make them tightly enter the captains and the news they will bring out.

Whenever someone walks out there, a group of people will quickly surround them, and with the other party's answer, they will burst into cheers or sighs, but in the end, under the guidance of the captain, they will return to the ship they belong to and set sail.

"Brother Hu, how about it?" Seeing Hu Cheng swaying and walking out, Sun Li and other maritime merchants on the same boat rushed forward and asked anxiously.

In fact, through many contacts on the road, Sun Li and the old man were already quite familiar with each other, but the other party always had a flushed face. Just from his expression, he couldn't see it at all, so he was still a little nervous.

"It's not good or bad. Let's go to Xiajinjing Port before the preparation..."

"Where is that place? Is it far?" The maritime merchants are all new dishes. The main basis for judging the quality of the route is distance and distance. Japan is already very remote, and the distance is even more remote. Of course, you have to find popular places when doing business.

"This place is not far or near, and there are many benefits." After explaining a few words, everyone was just aroused by the interest, the old man suddenly shouted impatiently: "I have told you many times. There are gold and silver everywhere here. The farther the place, the more profitable it is. Why don't you believe it? Okay, okay, I'll get on the boat and set off.,...

Benefits? The maritime merchants got on the boat with itchy feeling, and kept asking the old man along the way. Unfortunately, the old man was out of his normal state and suddenly became tight-lipped. Therefore, the voyage of only two or three days made the maritime merchants feel extremely difficult.

However, after setting foot on Xiajini Port, they quickly realized what the so-called benefits were.

It is said to be a port, but it is actually just a place to stop the boat. After getting ashore, the purpose of entering the hotel is a simple thatched hut. The bamboo hut is already occupied by people with status. If it weren't for the repeated indoctrination of people, Sun Li really couldn't imagine that this place would be a place full of gold and silver.

"So he is an adult from Ming Dynasty? No wonder there is such a good product. The price is easy to say, and it will definitely satisfy you. As long as you can come here often." "Yes, the price is easy to say, and as long as the adults don't dislike the remote country in the past."

After seeing Sun Li's goods, the Japanese merchants all looked shining. After learning about his identity, they even saved bargaining and were extremely respectful, making Sun Li really proud of his identity as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty.

"My Lord, please come in and have a look. I have the most beautiful girl in the country in Prefecture. Please be sure to visit me!" Sun Li knew in advance that the Izakaya in the Japanese Izakaya was similar to the brothel in the Ming Dynasty. He had been to the brothel, but he was still shocked by the enthusiasm of the Japanese brothel owner to attract customers.

"My Lord Ming Kingdom, my highness invites you to the banquet, please be sure to enjoy the glory!"

The most exaggerated thing is that after alarming the local lord, the other party respectfully sent the family’s family to invite him. The maritime merchants hesitated for a moment, and the other party actually knelt down, making Sun Li and others feel like they were in a dream. This is too exaggerated? Just as the identity of a Ming people, the Daming Natou here actually made the Daming Natou here worship?

This is similar to the quality of someone going to the Ming Dynasty and letting the local families sweep the floor to welcome him. Is the Ming Dynasty so high in overseas positions? In the midst of the crisis, the maritime merchants became more proud, and instead of being cautious when they were in their hometown, they all raised their heads and started to sing.

Privileges always make people feel heavy. Not only the scholars and officials like them, but also the merchants who have never read books, even in the remote countryside of Japan.

However, they were not interested in the banquet. Even those who were looking forward to it in advance lost interest after seeing Okayama Castle and the so-called City Lord's Mansion. It was too simple, so could this thing be called a city? In the Ming Dynasty, even the bandits' cottage were more grand than this!

The food at the banquet has greatly reduced the appetite of merchants. Many of the maritime merchants, including Sun Li, come from the capital and have little vision. They can see that they have heard of and tasted beefs, but these are the ones in front of them...

Except for the fish being quite reliable, although it is raw, you can tell what it is after all, what else is it? What can you eat? And it is the so-called banquet of the local lord?

Fortunately, they are all businessmen here, and they usually have some city games. They also know that when doing business, they need to establish a good relationship with local authorities, so both parties are still happy.

The banquet ended soon, and the maritime merchants would rather go back to the boat to eat dry food than continue eating. The city lord sitting in the main seat also knelt up and straightened his body, showing that he had something to say.

"Everyone comes from afar, I am Urakami Sou, so I am so happy." The Matsuura Party has been explaining to Jiangnan sea merchants all year round. There are many people who are familiar with Chinese. This time, they were also requisitioned by Ma Ang and assigned to sea merchants, so there is no problem in communication.

After all, Japan is also a member of the Chinese cultural circle and is deeply influenced by the Central Plains. Therefore, Urakami Sect's routine opening remarks are not difficult to understand. They are just polite words. However, the maritime merchants also understand that there must be a topic later. If you give me some gifts, you will definitely want something.

"Everyone comes from the upper country, I wonder if it has anything to do with Kyushu?"

The topic is a bit surprising, but the maritime merchants do not intend to conceal it, and there is no need to conceal this kind of thing.

"We are all merchants under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Fukue Island.

"That's great." Urakami Sou's eyes lit up, and his expression on his face became more eager. "Unknown, can you be familiar with the adult who taught Kogoro Mori, the first general in the West. Can you convey the sincere respect from all over my family to that adult?"

""After listening to Tongze's retelling, the maritime merchants looked at each other, the number one general in the Western country? Who is that person?

"Hahaha, it's easy to say, you can tell him." Hu Cheng suddenly burst into laughter and waved his hand to express the translation. "If he wants to get the guidance of that adult like the Maori family, as long as he accepts us comfortably, the adult will know his sincerity."

"I was so moved that Guamura Sect bowed solemnly, and his god was so moved that he was muttering in a low voice.

"Brother Hu, what do you mean to that Japanese man? Who is that lord?" After leaving Okayama Castle, Sun Li couldn't wait to ask. The preferential treatment he received in Japan seemed not only because of the reputation of the Ming Dynasty, but also because of the mysterious ones.

"Who else can it be? Of course it is the Governor and the Marquis. Haha, you don't have to worry about it. Get familiar with this place as soon as possible. When you come back next time, it will be more targeted." Hu Cheng waved his hand and smiled.

"What did Urakami whisper in the end?" Someone asked Tongyi again.

"He said that if you get help from the Lord of the Supreme People's Republic of China, the Urasaka family is finally expected to be revitalized."!
