Chapter three hundred and eighty third interview

Since the peace talks were not publicly promoted, the merchants and spies in Yidu Prefecture did not know that there was any news. However, in order to show his position to the Khan court that he was "in Cao's camp and in the heart of Han", Ulutus decided to disclose the content of the peace talks to Mu Huali in Zhongdu later.

However, the transaction content of the firearm cannot be made public, and in order to cover up, Ulutus has agreed with the Three Kingdoms delegation. At that time, in the name of "stealing the teacher", he will teach the development technology of the firearm to the craftsmen who arranged it.

If you know about war horses, I believe that even if the Khan Ting knows, I will not be surprised. After all, if you don’t give at all, you can reach a peace agreement with the Three Kingdoms, which is too fake. Moreover, in terms of equestrianism, the Khan Ting is very confident. Even if the Jin Kingdom has war horses, it is impossible for them to beat the Khan Ting on the cavalry.

In this way, it is within the standard of the Khan Court.

In addition to appeaseing Mu Huali, the princess in Mobei, Alahaibeji, also needed Ulutus to write a letter in person.

Moreover, because he had a very good personal relationship with Alahaibeji, he had to select some of the special things he got from Japan and give them to the other party.

This can also alleviate the "misunderstanding" arising from the east and west roads of Shandong.

After dealing with these two key figures who remained in Mobei and the Central Plains, there would be no problems with the rest.

At this time, the shogunate prisoners headed by Masako Hojo finally arrived outside the Yidu Castle after nearly two days of traveling north.

There are no tall city walls, no continuous houses. There are only large tents and cattle and sheep eating grass outside the tent.

There are also merchants from all directions pushing a large amount of commercial goods in and out of the tent area. The labor force used to repair the city is cleaning up the ruins on the original Yidu site, such as intact bricks and stones, which can be kept for use.

The construction team sent by the Ministry of Works conducted a comprehensive measurement of Yidu City in order to plan the city’s construction plan in advance.

And tens of thousands of people are like ants, and they look unusually numerous. At first, Masako Hojo and the others thought that so many people gathered together to fight.

After all, I heard that there are constant wars in the Central Plains, and the situation in front of me is very consistent with my imagination.

But with the subsequent understanding, they realized that the facts were far behind the thoughts.

After about three or five days of settlement, Ulutus has not received them!

After all, they are prisoners, and they do not need to be so cautious in etiquette. But Ulutus also has a gentle voice and does not need to be so tight. Under limited surveillance, they are allowed to move freely in the commercial area of ​​the tent.

So a group of Japanese men wearing Wu robes (called kimono after the Edo period) and wearing wooden clogs quickly attracted the attention of a large number of merchants. When they learned that they came from the Japanese in the east or were envoys of the shogunate, some merchants affiliated with the Jin, Khanate and Song were convinced that the Ming Dynasty had indeed won a great victory overseas thousands of miles away.

Another is the business opportunities brought by the surrender of Japan.

Gu Detective

In the past, the Jin Dynasty did not care about maritime trade because of its underdeveloped sea trade. However, many merchants from the Song Dynasty went out to sea and had a large number of trades with Japan. The Ming Dynasty merchants had already started purchasing goods to Japan because the government took the initiative to disclose the news.

Many things in the Central Plains are sought after in Japan. For example, Buddhist scriptures, porcelain, tea and other objects are very popular among Japanese nobles. There are also textiles such as hemp, silk, silk, and silk, which also have a very good market in Japan.

When Hojo Masako and Hojo Yoshimitsu were favored by merchants, they all wanted to know more about Japan's business information from them.

But under the order of warm-heartedness, the guards who monitored and protected Hojo Masako and others dispersed these people without hesitation, leaving the merchants helplessly giving up.

At this moment, in front of a silk tent opened by a merchant in the Song Dynasty, a wide variety of silks hung over the inner wall of the tent. Some ready-made clothes were hung on wooden racks to attract attention.

Among them, the price is the most expensive, especially Shu Jin. The fabrics and patterns are indeed exquisite, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye.

However, compared with the price sold in Japan, this Shu brocade is several times cheaper. Hojo Masako used her somewhat dry hands to caress the surface of the satin. The smooth touch made her feel as if she was stroking the baby's skin. She couldn't help but say, "This is only available in the Central Plains. Second brother, please wrap it up."

When they came, they still brought a little money with them, but not much. But after arriving in Yidu, Ulutus rewarded them with some more. This attitude also made the uneasy shogunate feel a little relieved.

If Ulutus really wants to kill them, he doesn't have to give them a reward.

But there are not many goods available!

Yoshihiko Hojo couldn't help but feel distressed: "Sister! You have bought enough!" His tone was slightly bitter. Beside him, several Japanese servants were carrying large bags of various commercial goods. It seems that no matter what era or age, women's shopping nature is the same.

Although they all regarded themselves as Japanese envoys on the surface, the Ming guards who monitored them did not expose them. However, when they looked at the ordinary merchants, they clearly showed contempt and disdain.

The Central Plains dynasty has been in the supreme country for thousands of years, and the people of the Central Plains are indeed qualified to look down on those overseas barbarians. Even if they are beaten up by the Jurchen barbarians who are despised, they still have the confidence to look down on those who think they are worse than them.

Sometimes this kind of thinking cannot be said to be good or bad.

At least for the Ming Dynasty, this could reduce the differences in identity among the people and create more unity in the country.

"Second brother, don't be sad when you go out for a walk." Hojo Masako has a good attitude. While continuing to pick up beautiful silk, she taught Yoshihisa Hojo: "Your Highness has given so much money, how can you repay Your Highness's reward if you don't spend it all."

"Hey! But no matter how good this thing is, our identity is......" Hojo Yoshihito was still a little hopeful. But seeing that the king of Ming Kingdom had been left with them for several days, he couldn't help but feel more and more nervous.

It's also a future that is unsuccessful, and few people can have the open-minded mentality of Masako Hojo.
