One thousand three hundred and forty-three, neither holy nor Roman nor imperial

According to the news that the Ming merchants led by the Tianwang Army brought back from Japan, Su Yonglin did learn that Japan's political situation is unstable now.

Heikiho, one of the main leaders, has a huge power and a faint tendency to overwhelm the entire Japan. Among the 66 localities in Japan, a considerable number of them were directly or indirectly controlled by him.

Of course, he also had some opponents fighting against him. The nobles who controlled the actual power locally were unwilling to surrender to him and went against him everywhere. Small-scale wars occurred frequently and his regime was not stable.

Su Yonglin didn't know much about this person. He only remembered that words such as "Genheihe and Genji Story" could correspond to Japan in this era, and he didn't know much about the others.

He didn't know who is the source, who is Ping, what forces they represent, but this was not important. The Ming Dynasty was much stronger than Japan, and no matter how Hei's Genji was, it was not in Su Yonglin's eyes.

However, the current situation in Japan made Su Yonglin feel that it was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and began to calculate the help of the gold and silver produced in Japan to the Ming Dynasty's currency reform.

Then there was the businessman from Europa.

Su Yonglin asked a little, and according to his description and some less clear Chinese names, Su Yonglin basically judged that he was from the Holy Roman Empire.

When he mentioned his country, he obviously had some confidence, and believed that the emperor of his country was also a very capable monarch, strong both at home and abroad, and had great achievements. He also said that his country was their largest country.

He knows less about Su Yonglin, the Holy Roman Empire, than in Japan, and he really can't remember those difficult nouns.

Even the Shenluo Empire itself has some understanding of it just because of the evaluation of "neither sacred nor roman, nor empire".

In my impression, Su Yonglin thought that Shenluo should be a very weak waste, but now I heard that Shenluo is a very powerful unified centralized country, so I am very interested.

So he smiled and asked the Shenluo merchant a question.

"So, who is bigger than your country or the Ming Dynasty?"

This Shenluo merchant was able to travel around the world and even settle down in Quanzhou. His eyesight and speaking level were first-class and powerful, and he was a human spirit.

When he saw Su Yonglin's nuclear-good smile, he knew that his previous flattery for the country had caused the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to be more emotional.

He has heard of the reputation of this Ming emperor and has seen it, and he has also read the "Hongwu Political Commentary" written by himself.

He felt that the Ming Emperor was very different from what he imagined, but the only difference was this overwhelming sense of strength that was overwhelming.

The strong feeling that was almost impossible to feel during a friendly conversation was revealed in this special situation, and the expression was no different, but the faint momentum brought him a huge sense of shock and oppression.

As a businessman, the ability to speak lies to others is a basic skill. If you don’t have this ability, you should not do business.

But to be honest, he also saw the elite and strength of the Ming army. He deeply recognized the Ming army's powerful combat capabilities, and believed that even the elite army of Shenluo he had seen was nothing more than that.

If the two countries really have a military confrontation, then...

Who can win the final victory?

He himself was unsure.

Therefore, he half-truely praised the size and strength of the Ming Dynasty, believing that his country was somewhat inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty.

After hearing this, Su Yonglin smiled, and the feeling of oppression disappeared, which made him breathe a little.

As a result, the next second, Su Yonglin smiled and said that he was not honest and told lies. He obviously didn't think so in his heart, but he still said so in front of him, which shows how treacherous the merchant is by nature.

He was so scared that he almost fell to the ground with his legs weak, thinking he was going to be dragged out and slaughtered.

But Su Yonglin did not blame him, but just smiled and comforted him.

"It is the right thing for people to be proud of their country. I have no reason to ask you to discredit your country. To be honest, it is a very happy thing for me. Your country may be really strong."

The merchant Shenluo was very grateful for this, breathed a sigh of relief, and then expressed his gratitude to Su Yonglin.

So when Su Yonglin asked again, his answer became more objective.

For example, how his emperor established achievements step by step and developed Shinra into a large empire, and said that he admired their emperor very much and praised the brilliant achievements they established.

In particular, the emphasis was on his emperor's military victory in the Italian region and his great prestige throughout Europe.

Seeing him praising his emperor so much, Su Yonglin felt that perhaps the military victory of Emperor Shenluo provided a lot of convenience for these merchants in terms of business environment and profit acquisition.

This person should be one of the vested interests.

As a result, something very interesting happened.

The Ming officials around Su Yonglin were a little unheard of this guy's flattery to the emperor and wanted to stop him, but the Ming officials had not spoken yet. They followed the three of them to meet Su Yonglin as a businessman from Milan in the atmosphere group and were angry at his speech and attacked hard.

"Redbeard is a devil who likes to kill! We will never forget the sins he committed against Milan! And don't forget! Just last year, the Lombardy Alliance had defeated Redbeard! That was his end! The Lord will not forgive him, he will go to hell!"

He blushed and used crappy Chinese mixed with some native language to report to the Shinra merchant.

The Shenluo merchant broke the defense on the spot.

"Your Majesty and his army are just a momentary negligence. He will soon lead the heroic army to deal with you despicable Italians! Don't think you can do anything by chance if you win by chance. The power of the empire is not something you can understand!"

Of course, the Milan merchants were very unhappy, and then the two of them used strange Chinese language mixed with their own language to attack each other violently, insulting Emperor Shenluo and the leaders of the Lombardy Alliance. Both of them had red eyes and almost started fighting.

In the room, the Ming officials and businessmen from other countries looked confused when they saw their violent output.

In the end, Su Yonglin couldn't stand it anymore and asked someone to pull them apart, preventing them from hitting each other hard.

Although I don’t know the chaotic history of Europe during this period, through this small episode, Su Yonglin at least learned that the contemporary Emperor Shenluo had the nickname [Red Beard].

Moreover, the relationship between Shinra and the Italian region is not very good, and the two sides seem to have some minor frictions.

Compared with the violent output of these two Europa merchants, the merchant from the Abbasid Dynasty seemed quite humble.

He first thanked the Ming Dynasty for promoting him to be the leader of the foreign country, and then saluted Su Yonglin solemnly and expressed his apology for a previous incident.

Su Yonglin learned a little about it and learned that during the Second Ming and Song War a merchant in black collected money from the children of the Southern Song Dynasty and was greedy for money. So he ignored the Ming Navy's blockade order and forced himself to break through the blockade line and wanted to leave Quanzhou. He was surrounded by the Ming Navy. Then the man and his helpers were simply and completely executed.

Later, Ming Guo investigated his accomplice, but gained nothing. When he learned that this was purely the personal behavior of this merchant, he did not hold other merchants in black and big food.

According to the information currently under the Ming Dynasty, the peak black-clothed food and food that could defeat the Tang army in the Battle of Henglus has reached its peak, and it is now shaky and shaky. People who can still do business have no support.

Because the mother country is weak, these merchants have no confidence, they trembled after making a mistake, and they did not expect the mother country to say anything to them, so they are very humble.

Su Yonglin sighed at this, appeased the person, and encouraged him to continue to cooperate with the Ming government and abide by the fair trade laws, so that the Ming Dynasty would definitely protect their legitimate rights and interests.

Don’t hurt people, don’t steal, don’t force buying and selling, don’t use inferior products as good products, don’t evade taxes, then the Ming Dynasty will be their second hometown.

Su Yonglin's statement made these businessmen feel very moved and excited, and they all gave great gifts to Su Yonglin.
