Chapter 388 Inexplicable Hostility
"Brother, what's your name? What does it do?"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, he saw Ye Chen put away his famous post. The fat man looked at Ye Chen with a curious face.
"My name is Ye Chen, the king of the State of Wu."
Hearing the big fat man's words, Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Is the king of the Wu Kingdom the one who has just defeated the British Empire's maritime fleet and dominate the sea of Turtle Island? I heard that the profits of maritime trade are very large. I don't know if it's true?
Hearing Ye Chen say that he was the king of the State of Wu, the big fat man's eyes lit up and he looked at Ye Chen with a look of expectation.
"It's the Wu Kingdom that has just defeated the British Imperial Maritime Fleet! The profit of maritime trade is quite large. Are you interested in fat people? If you want to do maritime trade, I can reduce your three-tier trade tax.
Hearing the big fat man's words and seeing the expectation on his face, Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Then I don't have the idea of doing maritime trade for the time being, but when I want to do maritime trade in the future, you must give me a tax cut! I heard that the tax on maritime trade is quite heavy.
Hearing Ye Chen's words, the fat man's heart moved and said with a smile.
"No problem. You can do maritime trade whenever you are. I will give you a three-layer tax reduction or exemption for a period of one year. I hope you can grasp it well. In a few years, the profit of maritime trade will decline. At that time, your profit in maritime trade will be much less, and you will not make much profit."
Hearing the fat man's words, Ye Chen replied with a smile.
Ye Chen did not lie. Although the profits of maritime trade are very large, in a few years, if there are more sea merchants going to and from Wuguo and Shengui Island, the profit will decline. At the same time, after several years of trade between Wuguo and Shengui Island, the price will also fall sharply, leading to a decline in profits.
"I can't do maritime trade for the time being, but I don't know if Brother Ye, as the king of a country, has any items that need to be auctioned, or if there are any items that he particularly want to get. If so, he can cooperate with my fat auction house."
Hearing Ye Chen's words, although the fat man was a little moved, at that time, when he thought that he was not familiar with maritime trade, coupled with his large amount of spirit and feelings on the auction, he was unwilling to change his business easily, so he shook his head to reject Ye Chen's kindness and proposed to cooperate with Ye Chen, trying to pull down Ye Chen, a big customer. My own auction house.
"Yes! I just want to buy some treasures, but I don't know when your auction house will hold an auction.
Hearing the fat man's words, Ye Chen's heart moved and said with a smile.
"Seven days later, there will be a large auction in my fat auction house. Brother Ye can enter the auction with the famous post I gave you and participate in your auction! I can reveal a piece of news to Brother Ye, that is, there will be several particularly precious items at the auction seven days later. If Brother Ye has the intention, he should bring enough divine crystals!"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, the fat man put his head next to Ye Chen and reminded him in a low voice.
"A few particularly precious items, what exactly are they? Can the fat brother give me a bottom out so that I can have a bottom in my heart?"
Hearing the fat man's words, Ye Chen's heart moved and said with a smile.
"I don't know exactly what it is. It was sent by someone else. All I know is that those items must be good and precious. If Brother Ye is willing, don't miss it."
Hearing Ye Chen's inquiry, the fat man shook his head gently.
"Ms. Xu is coming!"
As soon as the fat man's voice fell, when Ye Chen was about to say something, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded in the hall, making Ye Chen involuntarily look up and look at the source of the sound. He only saw a famous nobleman and noble celebrity sitting in the hall, getting up one after another to meet a man who had just started A young man in black who came out of the six-star array.
In the face of the warm greetings of the crowd, the young man in black nodded gently in response to the warm greetings of the crowd. Under the guidance of a beautiful maid, he walked straight to Ye Chen's position and sat down at an empty table next to Ye Chen.
"Fat man, who is this extraordinary young man? It seems to be very popular with everyone!"
After seeing the young man in black walking straight on the empty table next to him, Ye Chen asked the fat man next to him with a curious face.
"Brother Ye, Mr. Xu Wushuang, the head of the four sons of our Kyoto City, not only has a strong power*, but also a true cultivation genius. At the age of 26, he has become a powerful middle god and the first cultivation genius in Kyoto City."
Hearing Ye Chen's inquiry, the fat man did not hesitate at all, and immediately explained to Ye Chen in a low voice.
Hearing the fat man's explanation, Ye Chen's face suddenly appeared. He couldn't help twisting his head and looking at the young man in black next to him. He only saw him enjoying the delicious moon lake wine under the service of a beautiful maid.
Seeing Ye Chen looking at himself with scrutiny, the young man in black said with an arrogant face, "This eye is very good. I don't know what to call him?"
"My name is Ye Chen, the king of the State of Wu. I just arrived in Kyoto today. Mr. Xu has not seen me, and it is also very normal for me to be born. At that time, on the first day I came to Kyoto City, I had the honor to meet Mr. Xu, the head of the four sons of Kyoto City and the first cultivation genius in Kyoto City. I was really lucky and surprised.
Hearing the words of the young man in black, Ye Chen said with a smile.
"It turns out that he is the king of the State of Wu! I heard that Wuguo is extremely powerful at sea. The sea area of Shengui Island is in the hands of Wuguo, and a large amount of taxes fall into its pocket every year.
"The State of Wu has a powerful maritime fleet, controls maritime trade, and has a huge amount of income every day. The king of the State of Wu in front of him should be a real local tycoon."
"I heard that maritime trade is very profitable, and the State of Wu controls the sea area of Turtle Island. If you want to operate maritime trade, you must get the approval and consent of the State of Wu. In a while, you will have a good relationship with the king of the State of Wu and open up a new source of wealth for the family."
"The king of Wu should be very rich. I don't know if he is interested in the medicine and elixir business. You can ask later to see if he can get a relationship with this rich man and give his medicine shop and elixir shop a big gold owner."
",,,,"
As soon as Ye Chen's voice fell, the young man in black had not responded. He had been paying attention to Ye Chen's young noble princes and nobles and senior officials of the major chambers of commerce, and whispered in surprise.
Hearing the whisper of everyone's whisper, Xiaowu sitting next to Ye Chen was extremely surprised. He did not expect that Ye Chen's reputation was so loud in the eyes of the nobles and senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce in front of him. Ye Chen's wealth was absolutely beyond his imagination.
Hearing Ye Chen's slightly flattering words, Xu Wushuang, a young man in black, did not appreciate it. He just looked at Ye Chen with a cold face and said, "It turns out that you are Ye Chen, the king of a small overseas barbarian country! I really don't know what your majesty thinks. He invited you to our Kyoto City to visit our Hongwu Empire! I heard that the maritime fleet of your Wuguo is very powerful. Even the maritime fleet of the British Empire, a powerful maritime power, was defeated by the maritime fleet of your Wuguo. You took control of the sea of Shengui Island and levied a high trade tax on the sea that came to our Hongwu Empire to do business and obtain high profits.
I just don't know if His Majesty Ye Chen has considered the feelings of our Hongwu Empire! The sea area of Shengui Island, which should have belonged to our Hongwu Empire, is now occupied by your Wu Kingdom and levied high taxes on the fleets of the past. How can our Hongwu Empire bear?
I think that your majesty invited you to visit Kyoto City should be to discuss the ownership of the sea area of Turtle Island, so that you can return the sea area of Turtle Island to our Hongwu Empire and hand it over to the British Empire. At that time, I hope His Majesty Ye Chen can cooperate well with His Majesty and not make it difficult for our Majesty.
As soon as Xu Wushuang's voice fell, the faces of the people in the hall changed one after another. Some noble children gave up their intention to make friends with Ye Chenpan and were ready to go back to ask their elders to see the views and plans of the upper class of the empire on the State of Wu, so as not to do anything that was not conducive to the interests of the family.
After hearing Xu Wushuang's words, Ye Chen was shocked and secretly guessed.
However, when Ye Chen saw a trace of cunning in Xu Wushuang's eyes, Ye Chen's heart moved and said quietly, "Mr. Xu, what you said is a little too much! When did the sea area of Turtle Island become the territory of your Hongwu Empire? As far as I know, the sea area of Turtle Island has always been a no-man. It was not until our adventurers of Wu Kingdom discovered this sea area, landed on the land of Turtle Island, and contacted your Hongwu Empire that you Hongwu Empire knew the term Turtle Island sea area.
After that, because our maritime fleet was busy with other sea areas and could not take into account the waters of Turtle Island, it was taken away by the maritime fleet of the British Empire and the territory that originally belonged to our Wu Kingdom. It was not long ago that the maritime fleet of our Wu Kingdom returned and completely annihilated the British Imperial maritime fleet before the god The sea area of Turtle Island is included in the territory of our Wuguo.
According to the tradition of the mainland, the land belongs to whoever finds the ownerless land. The sea area of Shengui Island was first discovered by our Wu Kingdom and should belong to our Wu Kingdom. Does Mr. Xu want to seize the territory of our Wu Kingdom? Although the strength of our Wu Kingdom is not very strong, it is not afraid of any provocators. All the people and forces who want to occupy our Wu Kingdom's territory will be dealt a heavy blow and cruel revenge by our Wu Kingdom.
As for your Majesty's invitation to visit your Hongwu Empire to discuss the ownership of the sea area of Shengui Island, why didn't I, the king of Wu, one of the principals, not know? At that time, you, an unrelated person, know it clearly, which really surprised me. Can you express your country's intentions on behalf of the king of your country, or can you issue a declaration of war to our Wuguo on behalf of your country?
Mr. Xu, I can tell you clearly here that the issue of territory is a very serious issue and is absolutely not allowed to be discussed. If you want to seize the territory belonging to our Wu Kingdom, then there is only one way to go, that is war, defeat our Wu Kingdom, and completely eliminate our Wu Kingdom, no Then, the sea area of Turtle Island belongs to the territory of our Wuguo. I just don't know whether Mr. Xu is qualified to make a war declaration for us on behalf of your Hongwu Empire.
After saying that, Ye Chen looked coldly at Xu Wushuang in black.
Ye Chen doesn't care whether what Xu Wushuang said is true or not, he just expresses his meaning clearly! If you want the sea of Turtle Island, you can! As long as you defeat Wuguo by means of war, then you can get the sea area of Turtle Island!
However, Ye Chen does not believe that the emperor of the Hongwu Empire would do such a stupid thing. Although the strength of the Hongwu Empire is extremely strong, it is only limited to land strength. On the vast sea, the strength of the Hongwu Empire is weak and pitiful.
Of course, this is in the case that the god-level masters of the Hongwu Empire did not take action, but Ye Chen did not think that the god-level masters of the Hongwu Empire would be random masters.
