"Sit all." After everyone entered the meeting hall to salute Zhengliang, Zhengliang spoke.

"Dear Lord, I heard that there was a mine in your territory. I wonder if it was true?" The representative left by Zhu Qinfeng sat down according to the etiquette of the Warring States Period and immediately asked Zhengliang.

This foreign devil was specially left in Zhengliang's territory and was responsible for daily communication with the Luo family. As the trade between the two sides became larger and larger, Zhu Qinfeng himself could not stay here for a long time. So at the suggestion of Zhu Qinfeng's wife, he left this foreign devil who could speak fluent local languages.

"Luther, there is indeed such a thing. I am also planning to find you. We may have new opportunities for cooperation here." Zhengliang said.

"Oh? Dear lord, please give me instructions. As long as we can cooperate, we will definitely support it. This is what our boss told me before leaving." Luther immediately said respectfully when he heard that he had money to make. He turned out to be just a little sailor on Zhu Qinfeng's ship. If he hadn't happened to learn the local language, he would not have had the opportunity to stay here. So he knew the importance of having good politics.

"Let's do this. A new silver ore and copper mine has been discovered in my territory. Of course, this is only temporary. Perhaps more mines will be discovered in the future. I plan to cooperate with your boss to mine. We will provide resources and manpower. You need to provide technology. After most of the minerals are produced, we will give priority to replacing your gunpowder and muskets." Zhengliang said to Zhu Qinfeng and Wang Hai's envoys who were left in the territory.

"In terms of technology, whether in the Ming Dynasty or the West, the Ash Blowing Method is quite mature. So I hope you can introduce technology into my territory and teach my people specific operating methods. Of course, I will also sign a long-term cooperation contract with you. In the future, as long as mines are found in my territory, we will give you priority to cooperate with you. You must ensure that according to the agreement, we will only provide us with some things that other lords here do not have." Although after this war, weapons such as muskets officially appeared in front of people, Zhengliang still hopes to delay the time when other powerful men obtain muskets as much as possible.

"As you wish, dear lord." Luther agreed immediately. He knew a little about the agreement between his boss and this young lord, so Luther agreed without hesitation.

"In addition to silver ore and copper ore, I have also found porcelain clay ore and sulfur ore here. I hope to introduce some simple porcelain making technology from the Ming Dynasty. I hope your shopkeeper can help me build a simple porcelain manufacturing workshop in my territory. It is best if you can bring some immigrants who know how to make porcelain from the Ming Dynasty."

"In addition, I also hope that you can provide some sulfur purification technology and even immigrants who understand this technology. We are willing to use minerals to replace gunpowder or even saltpeter with you." Zhengliang successively put forward some of his conditions.

"Yes, sir. The villain will notify the shopkeeper in Ming Dynasty as soon as possible." Wang Hai's envoy said respectfully.

After talking about the main conditions, Zhengliang put forward some major ideas. Then he asked the Sakuraya Shaoce, who had been smiling, to communicate the specific details with the two of them.

As for Li Hongfei who came to report, Zhengliang asked him to continue to explore within the territory, and at the same time he wrote a letter to ask him to return to Feiqian to bring it to Heiji Dongxiang. After all, the mining of the mine and the establishment of related workshops also needed him to organize and arrange it.

Just as the Luo family's territory was preparing to mine ore and build workshops in a intensive manner, after half a month of spread, the result of the war between the two overlords in the northern part of Kyushu was finally known to the world.

From the end of the eleventh year of Astronomy (1542) to the beginning of the twelfth year of Astronomy (1543), if you ask what is the most concerned thing that attracted the attention of the powerful people of Kyushu, it was that Yoshitaka Ouchi personally led a large army to fight against Izumo and the Otomo family took the opportunity to attack Himeqian.

The previous major event was that since the war was a little far from the Kyushu, not everyone would pay attention to it and know the progress in time; the latter event happened directly in the Kyushu, and the result even affected the next strategy of some powerful people, so it attracted much attention.

Although after the war, Zhengliang blocked the channels for understanding the situation of Feiqian in the southwest region of Zhuhou, Zhengliang could not block the three directions of Zhuhou, Fenghou and Zhuhou Northeast region. Through the spread of these directions for more than half a month, the result of this battle was finally known to the world. As a result, the entire Jiuzhou was surging.

In the southernmost part of Kyushu, Hirasa Castle on the banks of the Satsukawa Uchikawa River.

The city of Petani, built in the upper reaches of the river and controlling a large area of ​​fertile fields, has finally returned to its former peace today.

Just three days ago, the Shimazu family led by Shimazu Takaha and the Ijiyuan family jointly captured the Hirasa Castle controlled by the Hirakari family. Although they have unified the Satsuma Peninsula for a period of time and deserved to be the guardian of the Satsuma Kingdom, it is obvious that half of the territory of the Satsuma Kingdom is occupied by other wealthy families, and the situation in Satsuma is not peaceful either.

There are still traces of blood in the clean wooden floor of the Seminar Hall, which seems to tell the tragic scene of the battle a few days ago.

"Yasabato, what do you think?" Shimazu Takahisa, who was nearly thirty years old, sat in the main seat and looked directly at a young man about ten years old in the group of retainers below.

This young man was the eldest son of Takahisashi Shimazu. His young name was Takasumaru, commonly known as Yasaburo. After the Yuanfu, he was named Tadarae. Later, due to the fact that he was influenced by the taboo of Ashikaga Yoshiki's name, he changed his name to Takahiro and finally changed his name to Yoshihara. This is Shimazu Yoshiha, the eldest of the four tigers of the Shimazu family who became famous in the Warring States Period.

Although Saburo was only ten years old, he showed his skill in strategy since childhood, so Takaku also intended to take him to participate in the discussion and often asked him questions to train Saburo. This time Takaku's old trick was repeated again.

I saw Saburo sitting upright and bowing to his father Takaki, he began to say with a stern look: "My father, my ambition is to restore the original old territory of Shimazu as a guardianship (Satsuma, Osumi and Hinata). The northern part of Kyushu is too far from the family. My subordinates' opinion is that we only need to continue to pay attention to the war between the Otomo family and the surrounding powerful people. However, the information mentioned that the Luo family, who defeated the Otomo family, used a firearm similar to the Ming Dynasty, and my subordinates believed that this could be investigated."

The Warring States Period was the Loli era and even the youth. It was said to be the Loli era because the rich girls of this era would get married due to various political needs at a very young age. However, it was said to be the youth because the teenagers of this era started to be the leader at a very young age, and even boys over eight years old can be regarded as adults. Now the ten-year-old Yasaburo interprets this fact well.
