Chapter 201
Santaro is sick!
During this time, he has been under a lot of pressure.
Although I enjoy the glory of becoming the largest merchant in Nambazu, I also face a lot of pressure.
Especially some time ago, businessmen from Nambazu joined forces to engage in foreign trade, and even attracted the nobles of Nara Castle, which made them famous for a while.
Santaro personally went to Nambazu Shipbuilding Workshop to see it. It can be said that it is the largest workshop in the entire Nambazu City. Several sea ships are being built at the same time, and the speed is faster than he imagined.
To be honest, a few days ago, Santaro felt a little bit of regret in his heart. He regretted that he hugged Datang's thigh too thoroughly. He even thought of inviting Daimu Soga Shichiro to have a meal to ease the tension between the two parties.
Relationship ideas.
Unexpectedly, just a few days later, I heard the news that the Namba Tsu Shipbuilding Workshop was gone.
It’s gone, not bankrupt!
According to the reports from the servants, the entire Nambazu Shipbuilding Workshop has been reduced to ashes, and occasionally there are a few unrecognizable corpses in the open space.
I personally saw such a large shipbuilding workshop, and it was gone if I said it was gone.
When Santaro heard the news, his face turned pale!
Then I didn't leave my room the whole day, and I started to have a high fever that night.
"Boss, there hasn't been much progress at Daime yet. Many businessmen in the city are helping to collect clues on their own initiative. However, this matter is like a divine punishment. All the shipyards in Nambazu were destroyed overnight.
"
Yujiro is an old servant of Santaro's family, and he is looking for people to inquire about a lot of outside news.
"Is there really no clue at all? Are all shipbuilding workshops the same?"
Santaro's already pale face turned even paler.
"Yes, the situation of several shipbuilding workshops is the same. They were set on fire and burned to rubble. Except for those who were not in the workshop, everyone else was killed or taken away. Anyway, there is not a single living person at the scene."
Yujiro couldn't help but shudder when he recalled what he saw at the scene.
It's really too cruel.
"What's Damu's reaction?"
"What reaction can there be? There is no evidence, no clues. He doesn't know what to do now. He can only send people to investigate at the beginning to see if there was any abnormality yesterday."
"Donghai Fishery Station, what happened that night? There are many businesses near the dock. Logically speaking, someone should be able to see something."
When Santaro said this, he subconsciously felt that this matter was closely related to the East China Sea fishery.
In this kind of thing, sometimes regardless of the evidence or clues, whoever is the biggest beneficiary is the biggest suspect.
It's meaningless. Nambazu's shipbuilding workshops are gone, and even the craftsmen who know how to build ships are dead. This is a good thing for the East China Sea fishery.
Japan should stop thinking about competing with them for overseas trade, at least not in recent years.
"Master, what do you mean..."
Yujiro couldn't help but become nervous when he saw Santaro asking this.
"Although there is no evidence for this, it is most likely the work of Tokai Fisheries. No family in Namba Tsu has the ability to reduce several workshops to ashes overnight."
Santaro couldn't help but be filled with fear of Donghai Fishery. It seemed that he would be completely tied to the ship of Donghai Fishery from now on.
If they find out that they have second thoughts, will their results be any better than those of those shipbuilding workshops?
"Boss, that's what I said. It's true that Damu has doubted them. However, nearby merchants have reported that Donghai Fishery has been very quiet and normal in recent days, and there has been no large-scale personnel transfer. Just like what you said.
, there are so many merchants on the pier, if there is any big move, it is impossible to hide it."
Yujiro was reluctant to believe that this matter was the work of Donghai Fisheries.
"In the Kingdom of Heaven, some things are not what we see or everything. You don't need to investigate this matter. So what if you know that they did it?"
…
Nara Castle.
Inugami Yamada also received the news from Nambazu, and his expression changed drastically.
Like Santaro's reaction, Inugami immediately thought of the Tang Dynasty and the East China Sea fishery.
These shipbuilding workshops were able to develop so fast because of his own efforts behind the scenes. After all, he knew best the price of the goods brought by Li Kuan in Chang'an City and the price in Nara City.
Huge profits!
Without using this word to describe it, it is not enough to explain the huge profits of sea trade.
Inugami was naturally reluctant to give up.
However, I didn't expect that Donghai Fisheries would react so violently just after I took action.
This is to force the Japanese country to withdraw from overseas trade at all costs. The East China Sea fishery is sure to defeat the Japanese country.
However, there seems to be no way to change this situation.
Even if you know that Donghai Fishery did this, Donghai Fishery also knows that they know that they did it, so what?
Inukami Yamada couldn't help but sigh.
…
Contrary to Inukami Yamada's reaction, Kujo Shinichi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
There were people in the Japanese country who wanted to go to sea and go to the Tang Dynasty to sell porcelain and other things back for sale. Naturally, Kujo Shinichi got wind of this situation.
It is impossible to say that he is not nervous.
Although he hugged the Tang Dynasty, it was still very difficult to deal with the combined forces of so many nobles in Nara City.
And why did he defect to Datang?
It's not just for profit.
Now that his own interests are facing damage, he is naturally worried.
If it hadn't been for the lack of important figures from Donghai Fisheries recently, he would have gone to Namba Tsu in person to discuss countermeasures.
However, now it seems that I can rest assured.
This is to prevent the Japanese state from entering the sea.
He finally made the right choice by sending his son and daughter to the King of Chu. Judging from Donghai Fishery's current work style, anyone who blocks his way of making money will be dead.
Kujo Shinichi couldn't help but update his understanding of the East China Sea fishery and His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
"Come here." Kujo said to the housekeeper who came in: "Last time I went to ask about Shi Jianguo, I think you didn't investigate enough. Tomorrow you bring a few more people, preferably those who know mining, to go to Shi Jian again.
Jian Guo, confirm the situation there in detail, I want His Highness the King of Chu to see that the things he has entrusted me to do will make him feel at ease."
Kujo suddenly remembered that when Li Kuan left, he specifically asked him to find out about Ishigami Country, especially whether silver was produced there.
