After receiving the message, Xianjin went into the treasure ship's cabin. There were only seven or eight people sitting in the huge cabin. The atmosphere was serious. It seemed that a high-level negotiation meeting was underway.
Princess Bai'an asked Xianjin to sit down, and Xianjin sat at the end of the table.
Ashikaga glanced at Xianjin impatiently: Why is the Wei Dynasty so dominated by women? The head of the family is a woman, and why is the person called to the meeting also a woman?
The defeated nation was not qualified to express its opinion. Ashikaga turned to Princess Bai'an and said respectfully, "...Whenever important matters are reported, not to mention the human, financial and material resources, the one-way trip from Japan to Wei is dozens of days, and the round trip is more than a month. The delay in going back and forth may delay the issuance of important imperial edicts."
Princess Bai'an seemed to think about it for a while, and nodded slightly, "General Ashikaga has a point."
Ashikaga didn't dare to respond: This woman's words could lead to three traps, and he has fallen into them several times - she agrees with you on the surface, and then slaps you in the face... Not only is it painful, but it's also embarrassing.
Princess Bai'an said calmly, "In that case, let's put this matter aside for now."
Ashikaga still didn't dare to respond, always feeling that there was a huge pit ahead.
As expected, Princess Bai'an tilted her head and pointed at Xianjin, "One of the national gifts that Wei gave to Japan at the beginning, 'Crane Coming to Wei', was made by the Xuancheng Prefecture Paper Industry Chamber of Commerce. It was presented by this young boss He. General Ashikaga, do you think that national gift is satisfactory?"
Ashikaga did not dare to say that he was satisfied, nor did he dare to say that he was dissatisfied. He was afraid that if he said that he was satisfied, Japan would have to pay a lot of money to buy paper, and he was also afraid that if he said that he was dissatisfied, he would be beaten.
They saw dozens of huge treasure ships at the port today! A ship can hold thousands of people, so it is not difficult for 50,000 Wei troops to attack the island!
The strength is too strong, which makes people scared.
Ashikaga bowed and replied, "The Celestial Empire is vast and its things are noble, and they are all extraordinary."
Princess Bai'an saw her prey jump into the trap several times, but this time it didn't jump again. She was not annoyed, and nodded, "Then I will give you rice paper as a reward to use as imperial edict paper."
Ashikaga hunched his head and blinked, thinking to himself, it seems like there is not much loss...right?
Ashikaga still didn't dare to agree.
Xianjin could only look at it with his head down and struggled to hide the trembling corners of his mouth: Princess Bai'an played a set of combos smoothly - allowing Qiao Hui to kill the platform, taking advantage of the situation to find out the spy village, massacre the village, and the force of Fuzhou Port was shocking...
The ten-day peace talks and the combination of punches formed a closed loop, the ultimate goal of which was to interfere in Japan’s internal affairs.
All those tributes and the expansion of trade were just pretexts.
When a country needs the approval of its neighboring country even to issue an imperial decree, does this country still have the right to be the master of its own house?
Ashikaga was frightened like a rat with its feet turned inwards around a mouse trap.
I know it will be glued, she knows it will be glued, and the mouse knows it will be glued...but I just don't know when, where, and how it will be glued...
Princess Bai'an asked Ashikaga pointedly, "Do you think this proposal is a good one?"
Ashikaga hesitated, his moustache rising and falling.
Princess Bai'an didn't care about Ashikaga's attitude at all. "Xuan paper will be used as your imperial edict paper. Every year, ten pieces of numbered Xuan paper will be shipped from Huai'an Port to Naha Port. All court documents must be written on numbered Xuan paper, otherwise they will have no legal effect."
Princess Bai'an paused for a moment and continued, "In order to ensure that Japan uses Xuan paper properly, our dynasty will send a team of envoys to the island - we produce the paper and you stamp it. This move not only maintains your dynasty's orthodox authority, but also demonstrates our great country's compassion for the world. It can be said that we kill two birds with one stone and both sides get what they want."
A huge wave rose in Ashikaga's chest: This... is equivalent to handing the right to issue an imperial edict directly to Wei Chao! It is even more excessive than the proposal to inform Wei Chao before issuing an imperial edict!
The imperial edicts and paper are provided and managed by the Wei Dynasty. The documents issued to you by the Wei Dynasty will be numbered, and people from the Wei Dynasty will enter the Japanese court and write documents for you!
What else can Japan do?
You have a big seal in your hand, but you can't find paper to use it with!
This...this...isn't this equivalent to handing over half of the internal power to the Wei Dynasty!
Ashikaga did not dare to refuse: he had just rejected Wei Chao's proposal! He was on the treasure ship, and this woman was so strong that she would never let him refuse a second time!
Ashikaga smiled wryly, "Will it be too easy to copy if we order a special paper to be made? This will cause chaos in the government..."
"You worry too much." Xianjin's voice sounded at the right time, "The imperial edict sent to Japan will be made of special water-corrugated paper. The water-corrugated paper has light and dark watermarks. The pattern of each piece is the same and it is extremely difficult to copy. General Ashikaga, you can rest assured."
Xianjin is full of confidence.
Ashikaga glanced over and wanted to curse as soon as he opened his mouth! He couldn't be mean to Princess Bai'an. How dare you, a small merchant, fart in the negotiation between the two countries!
Ashikaga opened his mouth to vent his anger, but he saw the terrifying Marquis Zhongwu sitting directly opposite him, looking at him expressionlessly with his hands clasped.
In this world, the languages may not be the same, but the threatening looks are definitely similar.
Ashikaga saw a concrete threat in the eyes of the famous daimyo Tadashi: "If you dare to speak, I will make you bleed three feet apart on the spot."
Ashikaga held back and turned to Xianjin, "If the imperial paper is circulated and the order of our dynasty is destabilized, how will this girl bear the responsibility?"
Xian Jin said calmly, "Since the Yuan and Song dynasties, our dynasty has used the technique of making paper with light and dark patterns of water waves to make Jiaozi, which has a long history and is widely inherited. However, your country is small and sparsely populated, and the business industry is underdeveloped. It is normal that you do not understand the technique of making Jiaozi, which is used as currency."
