Chapter 250 The Doom of Pirates

On November 27, 2008, the lord's residence of the Luo family in Feiqian welcomed all forces with the Luo family who had trade relations.

The first party was Zhengliang and Taijiu Ling. Although the Luo family had begun to promote the laws of Leshi Lezu in the territory, the trading of grain, salt and various minerals that affected the stability of the territory were controlled by the Luo family. Taijiu Ling began to show off his strength in some people's livelihood businesses with the investment of several Zhengliang's wives. These two families represent the interests of the Luo family.

The second party is Wang Hai. He represents the interests of Zhu Zining and You Jianxia who are still in the Ming Dynasty.

The third party is Andy Meo Ribery, the newly involved Southern Barbarian, and Zuo Moyang, a Ming businessman who smuggled with the Southern Barbarians.

In fact, there is another party that is not present, namely the Kanwu Shaoce and Yuda Nobuka. However, for these two, Masayoshi does not intend to let them trade face to face with the people in front of them. The main purpose is to prevent some advanced technologies, such as firearm technology, from being transmitted to other powerful people in advance through them. Other powerful people have better foundations than the Luo family. Once these technologies are obtained, the digestion speed will inevitably be faster than that of the Luo family. At that time, the leading advantage that Zheng Hao will not easily win back will be gone.

Now Zhengliang relies on these technological advantages to offset the accumulation gap caused by time.

For Saoce of Kamiya and Nobuya Yuda, before they were fully trusted by Masayoshi or became retainers of the Luo family, Masayoshi was prepared to let the Luo family be an intermediary and resell their goods between the two parties. In this way, the Luo family could not only make a certain difference from it, but also temporarily ensure that some advanced technologies would not be introduced to other places in the Riban too quickly.

After getting to know each other, Zhengliang first said: "Everyone, let me explain first. The goods that I can provide. I can currently provide you with various local specialties, including gold, silver, copper ore, and snow salt. I believe you all know that the copper ore of Riben is implicit in the copper ore. At present, there is no such way to separate silver from the copper ore, but you must have a way." Zhengliang said bluntly.

"I hope to buy the following materials from you, firearms, technologies, and even craftsmen from the Southern Barbarians. It would be even better if the two could provide shipbuilding. Of course, I would also be willing to buy various items from the Southern Barbarians," Zhengliang said to Zhu Qinfeng.

"For the Ming Dynasty, I also hope to obtain various firearms and technologies, even various craftsmen. If I can also provide shipbuilding technology, I am willing to buy them at a huge price. Of course, I am willing to buy all kinds of Ming Dynasty items. At present, I need a lot of gunpowder and saltpeter." Zhengliang turned to look at Wang Hai and Zuo Moyang and said, "At the same time, I welcome bankrupt refugees and orphans from the Ming Dynasty to settle down. I regard them as equals as my subordinates."

"In addition, as long as a certain fee is given, I can provide maintenance for all caravans, including the long-distance maintenance from Mingguo to Riben," Zhengliang continued. "I will set a tax-free place to provide you with trading purposes." Zhengliang threw out the most important bargaining chips.

Zhengliang proposed these ideas carefully. First of all, the Southern Barbarians and the Ming people must have come mainly for gold and silver. Especially gold, the local gold-copper ratio in Riben was only one to five or even one to four. However, the ratio in Ming Dynasty had risen to one to twelve or even fifteen. When it came to Europe, it was even more exaggerated, and it had reached one to twenty. It can be said that as long as you go on a trip, you can become a monster.

At the same time, they are also willing to buy some local specialties and sell some of their specialties to Ribao, which can be said to be mutually beneficial.

For the Luo family, providing them with force escort can not only take the opportunity to train the Luo family's naval army, but also obtain a lot of information from all over the world through transactions with them. Why not do it?

"Your Highness Zhengliang is saying tax exemption?" Wang Hai asked immediately.

"Yes, total tax exemption," Zhengliang said affirmatively.

"Okay, I will definitely support you," said Wang Hai. He had foreseeed the prosperity of this tax-free place set up by Zhengliang. You should know that even those trading ports and islands controlled by pirates overseas will have to be taxed. Everyone goes out to sea for profit. Now the Luo family has provided such a place. With the prosperity of the waterway, it will inevitably usher in a large number of ships from all over the world. Wang Hai can get goods from other regions through this place. You should know that he is not just doing business from the Riben to the Ming Kingdom. With the increase in the supply of goods and goods, the business will inevitably get better.

After Wang Hai, the other two also agreed with Zhengliang's policies very much.

"Everyone, here, I hope we can make a gentleman's appointment, and you can only cooperate with our family. That is, I hope you don't cooperate with other lords privately. Of course, I can assure you that what you get with us will be the greatest benefit," said Zhengliang. He did not expect these guys to always abide by the agreement that only trades with the Luo family. Everything is determined by strength and interests, so Zhengliang has no interest in signing a paper agreement.

Now the Luo family can sit here to discuss with these people, but it is just Zhengliang who meets them by chance and gets the lead. Yes, what the Luo family can do is to take the lead and take action before other powerful people can react. The goal that Zhengliang wants to achieve is to keep these people working with the Luo family for the time being for two or three years. After all, in more than two years, other southern barbarians will gradually land on the ribble. By that time, everyone will face the same opportunity.

Several people at the meeting agreed unanimously about Zhengliang's request. At least for them, the Luo family is their best choice.

Therefore, on November 27, 2018, at the initiative of the Luo family, the trade of the three places around the Ming Dynasty, the Nanman and Riben officially began, and the participating families also formed a trade alliance. After that, this alliance played an immeasurable role in promoting the development of the Luo family. With the rise of the Luo family, the influence of the chamber of commerce gradually spread to further seas.

After receiving the promises from several merchants, Masaliang asked Dongxiang Heiji, who participated in the meeting, to organize a letter, which was that the Luo family had reached a trade agreement with the merchants from the Ming and Nanbans. The Luo family was willing to transfer the goods obtained from these parties to the Shenwu family and Yutian Nobukashi for operation. After collecting the cost, the benefits obtained by the Luo family, the Shenwu family and Yutian Nobukashi were equally divided.

Why doesn't the Luo family buy and sell alone? First of all, the Luo family lacks sales channels and means, and has limited manpower. The Shenwu family and Yutian Nobuyao have advantages in this regard. This is also the so-called strong alliance. If the Luo family sells it by itself, the benefits obtained are even worse than the benefits obtained by the joint sales of the three parties.

Secondly, the Luo family can also collect information from various places through the sales channels of these two companies.

Finally, the Luo family can be said to be a concession for these two companies. These two companies that get the benefits will naturally try to meet the needs of the Luo family in material procurement. Sometimes, these two companies will even play an unexpected role.

After receiving the letter from Masaraliang, although Saoce of Kamiya and Nobuka Yuda regretted that they could not directly trade with those merchants, they were very happy after thoroughly analyzing the Luo family's plan. So, the Luo family, the Shenwu family and Nobuka Yuda Yuda reached a commercial alliance alone.

It has been a ri literally since the meeting reached a cooperation agreement with the merchants of Ming and Nanman.

"This Yuda Nobuya is really interesting. Does he want to come out of Nawu**?" After reading the affirmative letters from the Kamiya family and Nawuya Yuda Nobuya, Masara couldn't help but think of it. According to his memory, the Nawu family in Jettocho is now someone else.

"Your Highness, report urgently." At this time, Yi Nuo quickly walked into the meeting hall and reported to Zhengliang.

"What's the matter?" Zhengliang raised his head and asked. The one who sent Yinuo must be an urgent matter, because only in an emergency will Yinuo enter the meeting hall directly without the notice from the guards outside the door.

"Ribi wins the battle of the Peninsula" Yi Nuo's voice was filled with excitement.

"What?" Zhengliang stood up with a "swish".

"Your Highness, the detective has just been delivered to the good news. The battle launched by Lord Sun Wuro and Lord Pingzo on the Ribi Peninsula has been completely included in the territory of our family. This is a letter written by Lord Pingzo to Your Highness," Yi Nuo said respectfully.

"Hurry, take it and show it to me." Zhengliang quickly took the letter from Yinuo, and opened it and read it.

After the destruction of the powerful families in the west of the Luo family's territory, the only thing left was that some pirates entrenched on the coast were still resisting. Among these pirates, there were the most pirates entrenched on the Ribi Peninsula. Of course, due to the large number of forces, they could not combine for a short time, posing a powerful threat to the Luo family.

The Ribi Peninsula is located in the northwest of the Roche family, on the west bank of Banya Bay. The eastmost point of the Ribi Road is a rocky mountain called Forbidden Mountain, with a promontory called "Osaki", which is only a few hundred meters away from the island at the junction of the Roche family's territorial waters and the Hirado Matsuura family's waters. The west side of the Ribi Peninsula is Chinjie Beach, and the Hawk Island where the pirates entrenched in the west is also only a few hundred meters away. The waterway between the Ribi Peninsula and the Hawk Island is an important waterway. Once you master this waterway, the Roche family can calmly launch an attack on any shore point between Imanli Bay and Hirado Port in Minami Matsuura County. It can be said that it is an important strategic location.
