Chapter 842 Tsuruta’s conspiracy

"Great, I want porcelain and silk. I wonder if Li Sang can prepare them for me? The price is easy to talk about." Ichiro Matsumoto said immediately.

Li Feng said: "Of course there is no problem. You wait here and I will ask someone to help you buy silk and porcelain in Mingzhou.

Wan'er, go and make arrangements, this time it works, we should have no problem making tens of thousands of dollars."

Li Wan was very cooperative and said: "No problem, I will buy silk and porcelain from Mingzhou now."

Ichiro Matsumoto said: "There's no need to go."

Li Wan asked: "Why? Don't you want silk and porcelain anymore?"

Matsumoto sighed and said, "Why don't I want it? But all the porcelain and silk in Mingzhou have been purchased. If I want to buy porcelain and silk again, it will take more than a month."

At that time, they had already transported the porcelain and silk to Fuso. When I transport the porcelain and silk back to Fuso, the price will be much lower, so I will suffer a lot of losses."

Li Feng nodded and said: "You are right, you can't make a lot of money just by selling porcelain and silk. All the money was made by the Tsuruta family.

Since we have cooperated, we must make money, even more than the Tsuruta family."

Matsumoto Ichiro said: "It's difficult, unless there is a force that can compete with the emperor, then it can compete with the Tsuruta family.

Or let our Matsumoto family replace the Tsuruta family, but this is difficult. First of all, there is no power to compete with the emperor in Fuso. In addition, our Matsumoto family is just a small family. In front of the Tsuruta family, we are like babies and adults."

Li Feng smiled and said: "Mr. Matsumoto, don't be so pessimistic. You really have such an opportunity now. I don't know if you will seize it."

"What chance?" Matsumoto asked.

Li Feng said: "Mr. Matsumoto, you are from Fuso. You should have heard that Emperor Fuso promised to give my Lord a city?"

"I've heard of it, but it's just a small fishing village, about the size of a dock. What's the use of it?" Matsumoto asked.

Li Feng smiled and said: "You have forgotten that Ichiro Oda has three cities. Your emperor has promised that whoever can capture the three cities will have the three cities in charge."

"It's true

One thing, for this reason, many aristocratic families led samurai to attack Oda Ichiro. Now Oda Ichiro was defeated and only one city was left.

This city was specially reserved for Oda Ichiro after discussion by several big families. They were afraid that the emperor would regret it and let Oda Ichiro have a special city.

Li Sang, why did you mention this matter?" Ichiro Matsumoto asked curiously.

Li Feng's face darkened and he said: "Mr. Matsumoto, why is it that what I heard is different from what you said."

"I wonder what Li Sang heard? I saw what I said with my own eyes. Our Matsumoto family is in one of the three cities controlled by Ichiro Oda.

Now it is ruled by four aristocratic families, and the name of the city has now become Shiguo City. Because of its proximity to the sea, the four aristocratic families require that capable merchants in the city, or small aristocratic families, go to the sea to do business in Datang.

This is how the Matsumoto family came to Datang, and this is also my first time to come to Datang." Ichiro Matsumoto said.

Li Feng said with a weak expression: "Then your Matsumoto family may have to be careful. Now Lan Tianhou has led an army and is heading towards Ichiro Oda's three cities."

"But the emperor has regained the Lecture Castle." Matsumoto Ichiro said.

"Huh, that's not something you or I can worry about. I can tell you clearly that Tsuruta told my Marquis to send us troops. The more troops the better. Now, regardless of whether your emperor has regained those three cities or not, my

Even the Marquis wants those three cities." Li Feng said.

He took a sip of tea and said: "Matsumoto Ichiro, now I can give you a chance to be loyal to the Marquis.

I can give all the benefits that my Marquis promised to the Tsuruta family to your Matsumoto family.

You can rest assured that as long as my Lord's army is in Fuso, your Matsumoto family will not perish. If the Emperor deals with you, he will be dealing with my Lord, and he will be dealing with the entire Tang Dynasty.

If you are worried about the navy of the Tang Dynasty, then you can go to the dock to take a look, or ask officials or people of the Tang Dynasty to find out the status of my Marquis in the Tang Dynasty.

I can tell you responsibly that as long as the Matsumoto family is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, your status in Fuso will not be worse than that of the Tsuruta family.

Think about it, if you like, tomorrow at this time, at this place, at this table

, you wait for us to come.

If you don't want to, I will find someone else. There are so many Fusang merchants, and you are not the only choice I have."

Then, Li Feng stood up, Li Wan followed suit, and the two left the tavern.

"Ms. sir, something is happening over at Fusang. Will my parents be fine?"

"No, let alone their battleships, their weapons are not comparable to those of the Fuso people. In addition, I told them that no matter what the circumstances, the fishing village and Oda Ichiro's three cities must be captured.

Even if we have a falling out with Emperor Fuso, the enemy is weak and we are strong now. If we don’t take advantage of this opportunity to blackmail them and control them, they will bite us back when they become stronger," Li Feng said.

Li Wan nodded and said again: "Then where should we go next?"

Li Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I don't believe what Matsumoto Ichiro says. Let's ask a few more people."

"That's fine."

Immediately, the two asked several more Fuso businessmen, and the answers they got were the same as what Matsumoto said. The Tsuruta family was very domineering in the Fuso business world.

The Tsuruta family has formulated a series of rules that are beneficial to their own family and requires other merchants to abide by them. One of them is that all merchants cannot sell the same goods as the Tsuruta family without the permission of the Tsuruta family.

If businessmen want to get the permission of the Tsuruta family, they can only spend money to buy their permission.

Li Feng also received a very important piece of news, that is, there really are pirates, and these pirates are controlled by the Tsuruta family.

If pirates are really controlled by the Tsuruta family, then Emperor Kogoku of Fuso controls the Tsuruta family, which is equivalent to Emperor Kogoku controlling the pirates.

Then his early plan to send Li Daozong to Fuso, control a certain island, and then call it a pirate might come to nothing.

Li Feng even thought that Tsuruta had asked him to send more troops to Fuso, but the situation in Fuso was different from what he said.

This made Li Feng suspect that Tsuruta did this on purpose. He knew that Datang's army was very strong, but its navy was weak.

He sent so many troops and merchant ships to Fusang, and then he sent pirates to rob and kill the soldiers, which could weaken the strength of the Tang Dynasty and use the merchant ships for his own use to increase his strength.

This is really a good plan.
