Chapter 530 Tangled
After a long separation, he was better than a newlywed. Although he had only been away from Ryukyu for more than a month, Jiang Yi burst out with his long-term "fighting power" under the meticulous service of his Japanese concubine. On the second day, Jiang Yi rarely slept in. He then got up and held his slightly sore waist. Jiang Yi was in pain and happy.
I used some dishes carefully prepared by my concubine. Although Japanese dishes are far inferior to the extensive and profound Chinese dishes, Jiang Yi enjoyed the light dishes after eating big fish and big meat.
"Please use tea, please."
Liangzi, who was serving the chopsticks, served tea just right, which made Jiang Yi particularly satisfied. Compared with his first wife in his hometown, the biggest advantage of this Japanese woman is not her face, but her ability to serve people. Whether in daily life or otherwise, Jiang Yi can always feel the satisfaction of the best, which is particularly satisfied for Jiang Yi, who is from a poor family.
After Jiang Yi had a tea, Liangzi said carefully: "Someone came to vote for a visit just now. I want to visit you, Master."
"Please give me a message?" Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Master, I just came to visit me yesterday? Which one is from?"
"It was sent by a nearby servant from the Prime Minister Kim Jong-won's family."
When I heard that the person who sent the greeting was Kim Jong-won, Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows. If it was a greeting sent by an ordinary businessman, Jiang Yi's temper was visible and it was nothing more than a business matter to find him. In recent years, Jiang Yi's business has become bigger and bigger, and he has extended his tentacles to many parts of Japan with Ryukyu as the base, and even monopolized a large part of the trade with Japan.
In addition, Jiang Yi has a different identity, so some small and medium-sized businesses naturally think that cooperation with Jiang Yi is a shortcut. In the past, when Jiang Yi first established his foothold in Ryukyu, he would still take this kind of visit in mind, but now his business has a foundation, and these merchants no longer see it very much, unless they really have a good fortune to them.
But Kim Jong-won is different. Although Kim Jong-won is just the prime minister of Ryukyu and has a very high status in Ryukyu, Kim Jong-won is nothing compared to Jiang Jin. Even Jiang Yi, Kim Jong-won has to curry favor with him. However, since he has established a foundation in Ryukyu, Kim Jong-won, as a local snake, still has some effect, and the two have some friendship, and can barely be considered friends.
He reached out to pick up the greeting post from Liangzi. Jiang Yi flipped it over and put it aside, and then ordered Liangzi to ask someone to reply to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the afternoon, Kim Jong-won came to visit as a friend, and Jiang Yi naturally welcomed the reception in person. After meeting, Kim Jong-won was extremely enthusiastic. Jiang Yi also smiled and served tea. He first said some unnutritious nonsense. Then Kim Jong-won asked about Jiang Yi's return to the Ming Dynasty this time and greeted Jiang Jin Ankang.
"The Prime Minister is really polite. My uncle is in good health. Thank you for your concern." Jiang Yi said casually with a smile.
"Mr. Jiang is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty. I have always heard that Mr. Jiang has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty and is deeply trusted by the emperor. Foreign ministers have admired him for a long time. Unfortunately, they have never had the opportunity to pay their respects. If they may be, they really want to go to the Ming Dynasty in person to listen to Mr. Jiang's teachings." Jin Zhengyuan said politely.
Hearing Kim Jong-won say this, Jiang Yi was of course happy, not to mention that Kim Jong-won said it correctly. As an important minister under Zhu Yicheng, Jiang Jin has a very high status and is deeply trusted.
Jiang Yi immediately boasted for Jiang Jin proudly, saying some words about how Jiang Jin was valued by Zhu Yicheng and how powerful he had in the Ming Dynasty. In fact, he had said these words to others before. The higher Jiang Jin's status, Jiang Yi, as the nephew of the clan, will naturally benefit more. Besides, he is not bragging, at least seven or eight percent true.
Jiang Yi's words immediately aroused Kim Jong-won's interest. In Jiang Yi's boast, Kim Jong-won also showed respect and admiration for Jiang Jin. After a while, when Jiang Yi patted his chest and said that as long as Kim Jong-won had the chance to go to the Ming Dynasty, he could definitely help him introduce Jiang Jin's promise, Kim Jong-won was even more overjoyed and thanked him solemnly.
"These are all trivial matters, just a simple task." Seeing Kim Jong-won's true feelings reveal, Jiang Yi felt extremely relieved and laughed and waved his hand.
"Otherwise." Kim Jong-won said seriously: "This may be a small matter for Brother Jiang, but it is a big matter for foreign ministers, so I have to thank you."
"Okay, okay, no matter how big or small these things, I will do it for you, and there is no need to thank you like this."
Kim Jong-won was kind and sighed, "It's a pity that foreign ministers are plagued by trivial matters and cannot visit the Ming Dynasty in the near future. So, please ask Brother Jiang to do a favor, can you?"
"Help? What's the point?" Jiang Yi was stunned.
Kim Jong-won continued to say something, and at the same time took out two pieces of things from his arms and handed it on his back: "Foreign ministers, please send this letter to Lord Jiang, and there is another memorial to the emperor. If possible, please ask Lord Jiang to say more and more good words to the emperor in front of the emperor."
"This..." Jiang Yi was stunned. He didn't expect that Kim Jong-won was looking for him. The previous words were probably for this purpose.
"Don't worry, Brother Jiang, this matter is not difficult as Brother Jiang's identity. As long as Brother Jiang can help, foreign ministers will be rewarded!" Seeing that Jiang Yi was a little hesitant, Kim Jong-won took out an envelope from his arms and gently pushed it over. Jiang Yi picked up the unsealed envelope under the other party's eager gaze, and opened it and opened it and opened it and opened it and opened it and opened it and opened it and opened it and opened it and opened it and opened it and pushed it over.
There is a stack of silver notes inside, and they are silver notes from the Ming Bank. Although the specific amount is unknown, the first few are all denominations of 1,000 yuan, which is at least 100,000 yuan in thickness.
Although Jiang Yi is now worth a lot of money, his huge amount of more than 100,000 yuan is still not a small amount. Speaking of which, even ordinary businessmen in the Ming Dynasty may not be able to make up the money even if they lose all their money.
Seeing this money, Jiang Yi's breathing suddenly became a little heavier, and his eyes stayed on the silver bill for a long time before swallowing his saliva and calming down. However, Kim Jong-won's expression was seen by Kim Jong-won, and Kim Jong-won's heart was relieved and he immediately said something that moved Jiang Yi.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yi sent Kim Jong-won away. When Kim Jong-won walked away, he returned to the room. Looking at the envelope containing silver notes on the table, the letter to Jiang Jin and the memorial to Zhu Yi-sung, his expression became very entangled.
Although Jiang Yi reluctantly agreed to Kim Jong-won just now, after calming down, Jiang Yi felt that this matter was not as simple as Kim Jong-won said. As a businessman, Jiang Yi understood the truth that the pie would not be lost in vain in the sky. Since Kim Jong-won would pay such a price and only let himself give these two things, this letter and memorial would definitely not be simple.
Giving or not giving it? Jiang Yi was worried about it. He even regretted being fascinated by money just now and agreed to Kim Jong-won. But now the money has been accepted, and Jiang Yi can't do it even if he doesn't take money without doing anything. Moreover, the other party's identity is unusual. Although Ryukyu is a small country, no matter how small a country is, it is a foreign vassal. As the prime minister, Kim Jong-won is not a person without background.
