As for other things, he didn't think too much about it for the time being. It was a vassal state anyway, so he could just be canonized, which was almost the same as the king of Joseon. All the kings of Joseon were canonized by the Ming Dynasty, so it didn't matter.

It used to be inconvenient to travel to the Ming Dynasty, but it is different now. Ships travel between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Kingdom almost every day. Maybe there will be an opportunity to visit and learn from the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Article 2: In order to enhance the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Kingdom should be open to each other. Merchants from the Ming Dynasty can freely go to the Japanese Kingdom to do business, and similarly, Japanese merchants can also freely go to the Ming Dynasty to do business. Neither side shall restrict the free exchanges of the other party's merchants.

, no additional commercial taxes may be levied.

This article seems to be very good and equitable, because the two sides seem to be very equal. Businessmen from the Ming Dynasty can come to Japan to do business, and you, Japan, can also do business in the Ming Dynasty. Both sides have to restrict and are not allowed to levy additional commercial taxes.

But this is the foreshadowing laid by Liu Jin. The sprouts of capitalism in the Ming Dynasty are already developing rapidly. The Ming Dynasty not only needs the gold and silver of the Japanese country, but also needs the market of the Japanese country.

This clause can greatly facilitate the Ming merchants to enter the Japanese market in the future. The two sides nominally open their markets to each other, but in the end, the cheaper one is the Ming Dynasty, which has budding capitalism. After all, in this era, Japan cannot compare with the Ming Dynasty in all aspects.

of.

It’s a very simple thing. Now merchants from the Ming Dynasty can travel between Japan and the Ming Dynasty every day, but can merchants from the Japan Kingdom travel between Japan and the Ming Dynasty every day?

No, because they don’t even have ships going back and forth. They want to go to Ming Dynasty to do business, but there are no ships. How can they get there?

What's more, the Ming Dynasty was a vast land and rich in various products. How could the Japanese country compete with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty?

Regarding this point, Emperor Gotsuchimikado couldn't help but nod his head. Ming Dynasty was relatively fair in doing things. Both parties were equal and open to each other, fair, and there was nothing to say.

Article 3: In order to facilitate exchanges between the two countries and promote trade between the two countries, Japan must allow the silver coins and banknotes issued by the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty to be circulated in Japan, and allow the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty to open branches in Japan.

This article is very overbearing and is a typical currency control.

You may not be able to tell it now, but the silver coins and banknotes discovered by the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty are also very popular in the Japanese country. Especially the silver coins are of good quality, abundant, and beautifully made, so they are very popular during transactions.

It is convenient and deeply loved by the Japanese people.

As for banknotes, the Japanese also like them very much because they are easy to carry and conduct transactions. Moreover, the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty has a good reputation. All merchants in the Ming Dynasty like to use banknotes for settlement.

With the trade exchanges between the two sides, silver notes and silver coins also became popular in Japan.

Now that it has been determined in the form of a treaty, if we slowly get used to it, the currency issuance rights of the Japanese country will be in the hands of the Ming Dynasty and the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty.

Let alone anything else, just printing some banknotes can rob the Japanese country of massive wealth. The bald eagles of later generations will plunder huge amounts of wealth from countries around the world every year by relying on the green banknotes.

Therefore, Liu Jin has been quietly promoting banknotes and silver dollars.

Silver dollars are nothing. They are real gold and silver and cannot be faked. However, silver notes have a lot of moisture. After everyone gets used to them, they will slowly become currency.

Liu Jin not only plans to implement it on the Japanese side, but also in Korea, Annan, and wherever the Ming influence touches in the future, Liu Jin will promote the silver coins and silver notes of the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty, and let the silver coins and silver coins of the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty be used.

Become the world's currency. Once you master this, you will have endless money to spend in the future.

"This is not too much~"

Emperor Gotsuchimikado didn't see any problem with this. He had heard about silver coins and banknotes. The silver coins issued by the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty were very good, and so were the banknotes. It could indeed greatly facilitate trade.

If the First Bank of Ming Dynasty opens a branch in Japan, it will indeed facilitate trade between Ming Dynasty and Japan.

On one side, Emperor Gotsuchimikado was reading the treaty carefully. On the other side, someone also began to send copies of the treaty to the shogun, ministers of the shogunate, and many daimyo.

Everyone also began to look carefully and study it carefully.

"The first three treaties are not excessive. Whether it is the canonization of Japanese kings, reciprocal exchanges, or the use of silver coins and banknotes, these are all acceptable."

Just after reading the first three treaties, the shogun, the ministers of the shogunate, and many daimyo all felt that this condition was not excessive, not excessive at all. The Ming Dynasty was still very benevolent to the Japanese country.

The Japanese kings had little influence, and it didn't matter whether they were canonized or not. Anyway, in history, the Japanese kings were also canonized by the emperors of the Central Plains Dynasty, and now they have just been restored.

It was good to have reciprocal exchanges. Many famous Japanese people and businessmen also wanted to go to the Ming Dynasty to do business. The Ming Dynasty was very big and very rich. You could make a lot of money just by selling something.

As for the use of silver coins and banknotes, there is no problem. Many famous people have silver coins and banknotes. The silver coins and banknotes issued by the First Bank of Ming Dynasty are really good, everyone likes them, and it greatly facilitates trade.

In the past, silver had different qualities and weights, making transactions very troublesome. Now that there are silver coins and banknotes, it is very convenient.
