Some of the important people that Yang Rui can think of, Yang Rui sent Uesugi to communicate with them or inquire about them in many ways. Uesugi also has a special kind of Secret Ninja in his hands at this time, so he has some means to investigate.
Originally, Yang Rui thought that all he had to do was wait, and there might not be any news for a long time. However, this matter went unexpectedly smoothly. Just a few days after Yang Rui accompanied Oda Aki and the others in the disguise of a child, the person who went to contact the Shogunate had already returned with news.
The Shogunate indeed had a large number of high-level Soul-type items in his hands. According to him, they were accumulated by the previous Shogunate, including a total of 50,000 sets of Gold-grade Soul-type equipment, with each set having 3 pieces.
In addition, there were also 10 sets of Platinum Sakura series armor, namely Sakura Storage, Sakura Release, Sakura Flying, Sakura Fall, Sakura Rain, Sakura Gathering, Sakura Scatter, Sakura Floating, Sakura Zero, and Sakura Stem, with each set having 7 pieces.
Moreover, the Shogunate basically agreed with Wako Uesugi's suggestion, especially regarding the price, which was probably the biggest reason why he was willing to take out these equipment.
However, the Shogunate had a lot of additional conditions. First, Wako Uesugi had to promise not to go to Luo, which was something that the child himself had proposed.
Secondly, the Shogunate wanted the child to promise not to let any other daimyo go to Luo, which was also something that Wako Uesugi had mentioned, but the target range was a little narrower.
Third, the Shogunate wanted Wako Uesugi to truly respect him as his master, which showed that he had to provide a large amount of food and money every year. This amount was a little too much, so much so that the person who went to contact the Shogunate stuttered when he returned.
This was because the Shogunate was indeed boasting shamelessly, and even the messenger himself knew that the amount he proposed was not realistic. At the same time, he also felt that he was looking down on Wako Uesugi too much.
After clarifying these points, Yang Rui was only happy and did not show too much impatience. At this time, he was in the image of Wako Uesugi, and the messenger's report was Yang Rui.
At the same time, Wako Uesugi's real body, who had been listening to the emissary's words behind the scenes, did not show any unusual expression because of being looked down upon. Instead, he was also very happy.
This was because Wako Uesugi knew very well what such a batch of high-level Soul-type equipment meant. Whether it was in the game or in the real world, she shared information with Yang Rui, so she was very clear about the use of these equipment in the Origin Tide.
However, the two of them could not completely agree to the Shogunate's conditions. The first two conditions had already been considered by Yang Rui and Wako Uesugi, so there was no problem.
Wako Uesugi had already gone to Luo before, and the system would not arrange for him to go to Luo a second time in a short period of time. Moreover, not going to Luo would not affect his expansion of the surrounding regions. Originally, Yang Rui had no intention of letting Wako Uesugi go to Guanxi for the time being.
Agreeing to help the Shogunate organize other daimyos to go to Luo was actually a plan to kill two birds with one stone. At that time, if there really were daimyos going to Luo, it would be time to suppress them. Wako Uesugi stepping forward to stop them would also be beneficial to him.
Moreover, stopping others from going to Luo was only a name. Judging from the current situation, there were no daimyos in Kanto who had the ability to go to Luo for the time being. The biggest possibility was that the daimyos in the western and central regions of the Nihon civilization would make a move.
In this way, Wako Uesugi could raise the banner of stopping people from going to Luo and enter the Kyoto region to fight against the other daimyos. This was not much different from her going to Luo herself.
If history went by, the next daimyos to rise up would be the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven from the central region of the Nihon civilization — Takeda Shingen. It was inevitable that Wako Uesugi's forces would fight against him. Agreeing to the Shogunate's request was to pave the way in advance.
As for making Wako Uesugi truly "submit", that was impossible. The Nihon civilization was currently set in the Warring States period. The daimyos would never submit to the Shogunate or the Emperor.
The "tribute" could be done as a gesture, but it would only be a gesture. It would allow the Shogunate's general to casually accept some worthless items for the sake of his reputation. It would not be too much.
It was a transaction, after all. It was a matter of asking for a sky-high price and paying a lower price. In order to compete for efficiency, Yang Rui and Wako Uesugi had previously offered a rather high "price tag," both in terms of price and position.
Perhaps this gave the Shogunate's general enough confidence to negotiate terms with Wako Uesugi?
Regardless of the reason, Yang Rui and Wako Uesugi were very confident in making this transaction happen. At the same time, they were determined to succeed.
"Continue to head to Kyoto and tell the Shogunate's general that our Shangshan clan has always respected his position and has always been a vassal of the shogunate. However, the Kanto region is bitterly cold, and there aren't many tall stones. It's best not to mention the matter of supplies.
Moreover, the conditions that our Shangshan clan has offered are already extremely generous. It can be said that we have shown the highest sincerity. Those equipment might not be able to sell for such a high price on the market.
Moreover, it's not convenient for him, the Shogunate's general, to sell these items openly. I'm afraid that if he really wants to sell these items, the other daimyos will become jealous, and unpredictable results will occur … "
There was still plenty of time. Three months was more than enough to make this transaction happen. Thus, Yang Rui, who appeared in the image of Wako Uesugi, once again sent the emissary to Kyoto to meet the Shogunate's general. He did not make any concessions to the previous conditions.
There was even a hint of warning in Yang Rui's words. Although what he said was the truth, it was not very polite to the Shogunate's general.
"Lord Husband, if you let him say this, won't it agitate the Shogunate's general and affect the progress of the transaction?"
Hearing that the messenger had already left the court, the child Shangshan had already leisurely walked out from behind the scenes and said to Yang Rui with a slight frown.
Wako Uesugi had already formed his own psychological bottom line after hearing the emissary's report. He believed that he could make a symbolic tribute to the Shogunate and raise the bargaining chips slightly.
Yang Rui did not mind. He had already experienced many transactions and knew that the more one appeared to be eager and the more one appeared to be willing to compromise, the more one would be passive in the negotiation.
Of course, the Japanese civilization's regional background and culture might have some special aspects. Most of the time, they might pay a huge price for some trivial matters.
Even so, Yang Rui was not without confidence. If the negotiation method could not be reached, then he did not mind letting Wako Uesugi take some military action before the origin tide.
