Xiao Letian looked at the details of the Osaka Treaty in front of him and looked carefully three times word by word. The ones who knelt in front of him were Ryuma Sakamoto and Hirobuki Ito.

Time passed minute by minute. The two of them had sweated on their foreheads. Xiao Letian invisibly put too much pressure on them.

"Ito-kun, please tell me whether these terms are your attention or theirs."

"Report to the Prime Minister. Open the market and open the port. This is my proposal. The general and your daimyo have not modified too much. The last compensation is what the general means..." Ito said after raising his reputation.

"Prime Minister. I know that such conditions are not generous. But please understand the poverty of Japan. This is the greatest sincerity we can show. If there are more, Japan will be in chaos..."

"The chaos." Xiao Letian sneered, "Can it be even more chaotic than it is now? I heard that the Edo Castle rice riot is getting more and more intense. Even merchants who specialize in providing food to Dao have received shocks. I really don't understand you. They are obviously not ready for war at all, but they rashly launched a war. They are really a group of gamblers..."

"I still refuse to admit defeat after failing. I challenged my patience again and again. From the assassination of Longma Jun, to the end, I dared to attack His Majesty. The characteristics of the bad gambling ghost are clearly visible..."

Ito's face turned slightly red, but he soon returned to calm. "Prime Minister. You are right. Although it was Fumihide's boldness that angered you. However, such rebellion was also nurtured by our Japanese culture. So I can't argue."

"But please think twice about the crimes committed by some warriors. The innocent people cannot taste the bitter fruit. The rice riot has lasted for five days. There has not been a phenomenon of starving people to death. However, people have begun to die during the robbery of rice... Please beg the Prime Minister for mercy. If it lasts for another three days, the consequences will be unimaginable."

After Hirobu Ito said, he hit the tatami and burst into tears. Ryuma Sakamoto also bowed to the ground, "We have seen Prime Minister Ryuwei. No one in Japan dares to challenge your authority anymore. Please stop... Please give the Japanese people a way out."

Xiao Letian looked at the two kneeling in front of him, breathing deeply to relieve the stuffiness in his chest. This was the leader of the future civil servants he chose for Japan. As a result, he was still close to the Japanese. At the critical moment, they still had to consider the interests of the Japanese nation first.

However, Li Mi thought about it again. It is precisely because of their loyalty to the Japanese nation that they are considered as people with a limit. Once this person has a limit, he will not be bad.

If Ryuma Sakamoto and Hirobuki Ito really sold the interests of the Japanese nation like a Japanese traitor, then Xiao Letian would have to think twice before doing it.

"You are here to plead for mercy. What is your identity? When did this Japan give you the power to be responsible? If you are not in your position, you will not do your politics. You have not taken responsibility for the Japanese nation on your shoulders. Why do you stand up?"

"Why don't those who are really responsible? Why don't you come to see me? They should take the blame. No one wants to avoid it. The lords of the four vassals can meet the general. Why don't you come to see me?"

Ryuma and Ito only realized that their confidentiality work was completely ineffective. The Prime Minister of the four vassals came to Osaka.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the house. Master Long walked in with a affectionate and strange look. He leaned into Xiao Letian's ear and whispered a few words. Hirobuki Ito and Ryuma Sakamoto saw the Prime Minister change their faces. They had no idea what was going on.

Following closely behind was the loud voice of the messenger, "Tokugawa Shogunate General Tokugawa Keiki, Naoki, the lord of the Naoki, the lord of the Hirama-family, the lord of the Kamishima Naota, the lord of Tosa-family, the lord of Yamauchi Eido, the lord of Satsuma-family, the lord of Shimazu Tadao... I'd like to see the Prime Minister."

"So fast." Xiao Letian didn't expect that he didn't come to the door. These mice actually dared to block the old cat's door. "Please." No matter what Xiao Letian thought, he had to be polite.

After a while, the general in high-end dress brought four daimyos in. Even though Xiao Letian didn't understand the Japanese kimono etiquette, it just depends on the degree of ironing and the luster of the silk material. He knew that these clothes were all top-notch dresses that would only be used in a big ceremony.

"See Prime Minister." Five Japanese men knelt on the ground and saluted Xiao Letian. Especially the four great names were extremely solemn.

"Haha... you guys are so kind of courtesy. I am just the little prime minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom. I can't stand the kneeling of yourselves. Are you wrong?"

The four southwestern vassal lords and Tokugawa General seemed to have not heard Xiao Letian's sarcasm. Yamagodo smiled and said, "I should have been respectful when I first met the Prime Minister. But now I have the will of the Emperor. So I can only be rude."

Xiao Letian was stunned. He didn't expect that the Emperor would react in just one night.

"Ryuma Sakamoto obeys the order. I am so obsessed with the loyalty of the country. I devoted my efforts to Japan. I specially granted the position of the fourth-rank Daizoku-ku. I am always stationed in Edo Castle and responsible for all the internal affairs of the shogunate..."

"Ito Hirofumi listens to the order. He is now considering his outstanding talents and extraordinary wisdom. He is specially granted to Dazai Dae-yi from the fourth rank. He is stationed in Kagoshima and is responsible for all Japan's foreign trade and naval construction matters..."

Tokugawa Keiki took out another secret decree from his arms and handed it to Ryuma Sakamoto and Hirofumi Ito. He whispered, "From today, you are the leader of Japanese civil servants. Although there are ministers in Kyoto with higher official positions than yours, they have no support from the martial family... So from today, you have already assumed the destiny of Japan."

Near... Xiao Letian took a breath of air conditioning. It was such a big deal. Ryuma Sakamoto and Hirofumi Ito were both from military generals. Now they have become the class of nobles. This is too much capital.

Ryuma Sakamoto and Hirobuki Ito have now cried and their faces are full of flowers. The man's lifelong dream has finally come true. At that time, the Japanese at that time, the goal of constantly improving their own class is his lifelong goal.

After passing on the emperor's will, General Tokugawa Keiki visited Xiao Letian again, "Master has been waiting for a long time. I don't know what the Prime Minister has to say about our proposal. No matter what the Lord has, he can discuss with Dazang and Dazai Daer. ​​They can make a decision on behalf of Japan..."

Xiao Letian sneered at the cunning Tokugawa Keiki, "Haha. I will keep my army. Now I don't care about these two new ministers. How do I look at it? I just want to know who is the third major item in the treaty..."

The draft treaty proposed by Japan was thrown on the tatami. The man in thick ink pierced his eyes, "Japan provided 45% of Ishimi Yinshan's shares to give His Majesty Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty as compensation for a period of six years...'

Xiao Letian sneered, "As early as 1309, the end of the Kamakura era, the second year of Yanqing. Dainame Hiroyuki was inspired to discover the silver record when he was visiting the Big Dipper, the Great Bodhisattva of Miami. It can be seen that there has been a certain degree of mining at this time."

"The formal mining of Ishimi Gin Mountain was attributed to the merchant Kamiya Shousaki from Hakata. He claimed to have seen the mountain glowing in the Kamiya on the sea. With the support of the lord Ouchi Yoshihiko and the help of Mishima Kiyoemon, the owner of the Tongshan Mountain of Izumoda Yoshiki, who was subordinate to Ouchi Yoshiki, who was under the help of Mishima Kiyoemon, the owner of the Tongshan Mountain in Izumokota Yoshiki, who was under Ouchi Yoshiki. "

"After Yoshikyu's death, Ishimi Ginyama was once captured by the local lord Ogasawara Chimetaka. Later, in 1533, the second year of Astronomy was recaptured by the Ouchi family. The Yamabuki Castle was built as a stronghold for the guardian Ishimi Ginyama. In August of the same year, Kamiya Hoshita recruited craftsmen from Hakata. For the first time, the ash blowing method learned from China was used in silver mines, which greatly increased the production of silver."

"Look. I, Xiao Letian, know nothing about you, Japan. Until later, this silver mountain fell into the hands of the Maori family. Is it right? Lord Motode of Maori..."

Mori Mototo of the Choshu family heard this and his face turned slightly red and bowed his head without saying a word. Xiao Lotte no longer made things difficult for him. He continued to say, "In 1600, Maori Fumimoto was defeated in the Battle of Sekigahara. He was greatly reduced by Tokugawa Ieyasu. Ishimi Ginyama was directly under the jurisdiction of Tokugawa Ieyasu. He began to be stationed in Ginyama in 1601 to manage it. Provide an important source of wealth for the shogunate's overseas trade."

"Ishimi Ginshan's output peaked at the beginning of the 17th century. It reached an astonishing output value of 5,000 knots in 1602. But after that, Ishimi Ginshan's output gradually decreased. By 1675, the shogunate demoted Ginshan to Omori's acting position... In other words, Ishimi Ginshan's output was already useless at that time."

Xiao Letian's words made the Japanese present sweat. The shogun interrupted him and said, "No. Ishimi Yinshan is still an important silver production place in our Japan. However, the main ore veins have been reduced, but there are still many attached veins. As long as the Prime Minister can bring new Western technologies and investments, Ishimi Yinshan will definitely regain its glory."

"Look. What I said is not a pie at all. It's a big trap. We can only hold 45% of the shares for six years. According to the current production of Silver Mountain, we can get two or three million silver coins in six years. Can this little money make up for the damage suffered by His Majesty?"

"Of course you think well. Let me, Xiao Letian, invest and introduce the latest equipment to help you upgrade Shijian Yinshan. Even though the output will increase, Your Majesty can make more money. But it will only take six years. In the end, those equipment will still be cheaper for you Japan..."

"Not only that, we have to train you brand new miners and train a group of miners who know the most advanced technology. These talents are also your permanent wealth in Japan... So smart. You are so smart. You are too smart to calculate. This contract has no sincerity. You disappoint me so much."

Xiao Letian raised his hand. A thick draft was thrown out of the window and turned into snowflakes and flew everywhere.

"No..." Hirobuki Ito shouted, rushing out the window like a madman, but was blocked by the soldiers on the railing. He watched his hard work be thrown into the air. The young politician was in pain.
