Pillars of the Wu family

Although Tokyuki Yamamoto didn't understand Chinese, he was not stupid. He sensed something wrong in Wang Dan's cunning eyes. What do you mean? All I want is to create gold and silver accessories as gifts for friends. If Mr. Wang thinks that we want to learn smelting technology, why do we need you? We can go to Zhoufang Ouchi’s house, but Ouchi’s family is in Ten I mastered the ash blowing method a few years ago."

"This..." Wang Dan couldn't laugh anymore, he didn't understand craftsman's skills at all, and he didn't know that the Dauchi family relied on Suwo Taibingwei's family to master the ash blowing method more than ten years ago, of course he didn't know The ash blowing method mastered by the Ouchi family is only the separation of copper and lead, and the Ouchi family only does this step of separation. The Su family hides the most important technique called Nanban blowing.

"We just want to hire a skilled goldsmith. For this, we can add 500 taels of silver. This is our final offer. Mr. Wang please make a decision!"

Wang Dan hesitated for a moment, thinking that it would not be a big problem as long as he told the craftsmen not to talk about false tricks, so he said, "Okay! Leave this matter to Wang!"

Before the end, Kansuke Yamamoto still did not forget to threaten menacingly: "I also want to remind Mr. Wang! The gold and silver utensils we are going to make are for noble people. If you randomly stuff a goldsmith into us and cause trouble If it's troublesome, don't blame us for coming to you!"

"Uh! It's easy to say! Easy to say! Wang has a fellow villager who is the best goldsmith. As long as Mr. Yamamoto promises to borrow it for only half a year, Wang will definitely transfer him to serve you!" Wang Dan is a wealthy businessman who is used to rich clothes and good food I don’t even see pirates a few times a year. When I first saw Kansuke Yamamoto’s one-eyed, scarred, mustacheed face with a fierce expression, I was so frightened that I almost got under the table.

"Okay! That's it! It's a one-month period. Someone will come to trade with Mr. Wang at that time, and we will leave!" Yamamoto Kansuke finished speaking, and he called people to leave quickly.

Leaving Pinghai Company, Yoshiki Kira used the excuse of having a personal business to do, and finally coaxed Tokyuki Yamamoto back, and took Takatsuna Watanabe into a small tavern, when Masaaki Hattori, who had been hiding for a long time, appeared in the bar In a small compartment, he said to him: "This is a secret point set up by my Hattori clan, please rest assured! It is absolutely safe here!"

"En! Masaki has worked hard!" Yoshitoki Kira nodded, watched him quietly exit the room, and then said to Takatsuna Watanabe: "Takazuna must have worked hard to teach the three of them these days!"

"It's too hard! Zuo Jin's talent is very good. He has already learned [-]% of the spear skills of the subject. It will not be a problem to surpass the subject in time. Although Sanmi's brain is a bit slow, this child is simple and honest, and he has made progress in cultivation with all his heart Soon, Gengoro, the servant's dog, has been practicing with the servant for several years, and the extent to which he can practice after a solid foundation depends on personal efforts and opportunities." Watanabe Kotsuna sighed a few words, and seemed to be very satisfied with the three apprentices .

"In the future, our family will also ask Takatsuna for advice on plain spear skills, and then we will have to trouble Takatsuna more." Yoshitoki Kira said with a smile, he was hinting at Takatsuna Watanabe, I may ask you for advice, but don't expect to be accepted as an apprentice , There are only two teachers in his teacher, and it was these two people in the past, and it will be these two people in the future.

"Your subject must know everything and say everything!" Kotsuna Watanabe replied respectfully, and I don't know if he heard the implication.

……

As we all know, Japan is a famous silver-producing country. In this era, Japan’s silver mines have not yet fully exploded. For example, Ikuno Silver Mine is still in the stage of mining, but the price of silver is also expensive. The standard exchange price is silver ten Two is equal to five hundred Wen Yongle coins, which is roughly equal to the standard that ten taels of silver equals ten guan coins.

1000 taels of silver is [-] guan. It seems expensive to exchange such a large amount of money for a few craftsmen, but the level of architecture in Japan is very poor. Only half of capital-level cities like Kyoto are made of slab houses, and the houses in other areas are still The Sakamoto Castle of the Kira family relied on strong financial resources to complete part of the renovation of the plank roof. The cost of complete renovation is too high, so it is better to build a few more new towns.

This time, Kira Yoshishi sneaked in secretly and did not dare to show up in public. He kept hiding his identity and hid in the tavern, and then sent a group of people to contact Tsuda Zongji in secret. The original intention was to discuss another carriage business with Tennojiya. To his surprise, Yamaoka Jichang said in a low voice: "Tennoji Yamune said that there are merchants in Sakai Town imitating the carriage, so the price may be reduced by half."

"What? Tsuda Zongji really said that?" Yoshihiro Kira narrowed his eyes, his face immediately darkened and snorted coldly: "What a cunning guy, they must have thought of imitating it a long time ago? No wonder they were so straightforward last time Negotiating a big price, now seeing that our family has won the Miyoshi family and worried about offending our family, so you came up with a half-price strategy?"

Last year, when he bought the second batch of iron cannons, he made him aware of the ambiguous attitude of the Tsuda family. This time the imitation of the carriage further verified his idea. Imagine that Tennojiya is one of the largest commercial houses in Sakaimachi, and he runs a unique business. Who dares to imitate?If it is not something to rely on, it is to die. Obviously the imitator is not dead, so the answer is not simple?

"Half price? Promise him! It's still the same scale as last time. After the carriage business is over this time, the contract will be temporarily terminated!" The business has approached the point of being ruthless when it comes to this business, and Kirayoshi did not hesitate To cover up the dislike of the Tsuda family's chaotic behavior, the Tsuda family must realize that they have done something wrong.

After dealing with the affairs of the Tsuda family, Ji Liangyi, disguised as an ordinary businessman, sneaked into Sakai with a group of more than a dozen people for shopping. It has been more than a year since his last trip to Sakai, and he will come back to Sakai after a year. The town seems to be more prosperous than before, and the flow of people on the street has increased significantly.

It is said that the construction of new towns is still underway in Sakai Town, and the functions of various occupations such as craftsmen, merchants, and temples and shrines are divided into separate towns and villages. This is also a characteristic of Sakamoto Castle Town, but I don’t know what is the difference between the two. Who is learning who.

It was the first time he visited the main port of Sakai-machi without knowing it, because it is the busiest area of ​​Sakai-machi port, and a large number of passengers and goods are transferred from here every day, and the vicinity of the port is full of land of different sizes Warehouses, there are also a lot of vendors selling goods near the port. The goods sold are as big as swords, guns and horses, as small as stitches and threads. The goods sold are really dazzling.

Many wealthy merchants in Sakaimachi started from these small merchants, gradually established their own commercial houses, and then gradually expanded into a network of commercial houses. , Yamaoka Shichang suddenly ran over and said: "Guan... Your Highness, there are many huge ships over there!"

"Oh! What a big ship! Let me have a look first!" Following the direction that Yamaoka Shilong pointed, a large number of dark crowds gathered in front of a huge pier. There were indeed many giant sailing ships moored there. The completely different shapes of the traditional wooden boats, the huge horizontal sails and triangular sails, the multi-layered decks, and the tall watchtowers all indicate that this is a fleet from the Nanban.
