Pillars of the Wu family

The short trip to Kyoto ended soon, and Yoshitomo Kira returned to Sakamoto Castle quietly. The expansion work near Sakamoto Castle was finally completed at this time. The newly built Sakamoto Castle was expanded a lot, and Sakamoto Port Town was horizontally and vertically The straight Sakai-cho is similar, the broad and flat avenues and the well-organized Sakai-cho at all levels all show that the founder of this Sakamoto Castle has extraordinary courage and ambition.

All the artisans sent by Wang Dan arrived, and were arranged by Tokiyuki Yamamoto to be busy in various duties. The Tsuda family also transported the 15 taels of silver to Sakamoto and Kyoto. Silver caused the price of silver to rise sharply. After the research and decision of the Sakamoto Magistrate, Yukan Matsui took this opportunity to reverse the operation and invest a huge amount of silver in the market several times to buy Yongle money that has fallen into a trough.

In fact, this is not complicated. After Yoshishi Kira’s point, they quickly mastered the method of combating this most primitive speculation. They invested batches of silver to buy Yongle coins that were suppressed to extremely low prices. At that time, Kyoto and Sakamoto The exchange rate is 1 guanyongle coin to 2 taels of silver. You must know that 1 guanyongle coin can be exchanged for 4 guanxi coins before. Double, this is all caused by the forced exchange of silver during Kira Yoshihime.

The group of merchants hoarding rare silver made a lot of money when the Kira family exchanged silver. They raised the price of silver so that the Yongle money of the Kira family was useless. Matsui had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept the suppression of high-priced silver. Now this group of businessmen is wantonly suppressing the price of Yongle money and waiting for an opportunity to seize the market dominance of Kyoto and Sakamoto.

Now the Kira family began to invest in silver in turn. They all thought it was an urgent countermeasure, so they each took out the Yongle money in their hands to buy silver, and then the Kira family continued to invest in silver, and they continued to eat. Jin, never realizing that he had fallen into a huge trap.

On the first day, Kira’s house invested 1 taels of silver, and it was sold out in less than half an hour. This created a false impression for the townspeople, as if silver was hot and Yongle money was worthless. Then the next day, Kira’s house invested 2 taels of silver. , It was still sold out within an hour, and even the shadow of the merchant Sakamoto was found in the crowd, and they really stood on the opposite side of Kira's house.

On the third day, the Kira family directly invested 3 taels of silver. This time it took a full afternoon to be taken down by these merchants. With so much Yongle money to buy, people don’t want the money, so they can only take the money and go to the money house to exchange for Yongle money. In fact, all the Yongle money they exchanged was bought from them by the Kira family the day before, even if they Knowing that there is a problem here, I can only grit my teeth and stick to it.

The most dramatic thing was on the fourth day, when Kira’s family invested another 3 taels of silver. At that time, the group of businessmen were dumbfounded. How could there be so much silver? No one in the circle borrowed any money. The merchants in Sakaimachi, who used to come and go frequently, all closed their doors to thank customers. They didn't know that these merchants were warned by Kira's family that they would not dare to lend them money. In the end, they could only hold the money in their hands. Go to the money house with silver to exchange high-priced Yongle money.

So on the fifth day, when Kira's family invested another 3 taels of silver, everyone understood what was going on, they were tricked!The one who tricked them was the Kira family, manipulating the exchange rate markets in Kyoto and Sakamoto. The money house had an official exchange rate. The price of taels of silver was crazy, and when he finally ran out of money, he took the silver to the money house and bought Yongle money at the price of 1 taels of silver for 4 tael of Yongle money... He was playing tricks inside and out.

As a result, the Kyoto and Sakamoto merchant alliance collapsed silently. The smart merchants came to Sakamoto Castle to apologize, sold the silver hoarded in their hands to the Kira family at an official price, and announced their withdrawal from this losing game. Feeling red-eyed or not recognizing the facts, they still desperately exchanged money to buy silver, wanting to fight the Kira family to the death.

On the sixth day, the Kira family invested another 3 taels of silver. All the merchants who tried to resist collapsed. The advantage that takes painstaking efforts to maintain is like a sand castle built by children, which collapses the moment the waves come.

Some people jumped directly into the Kamo River to commit suicide, and some hid in the courtyard of their homes and hanged themselves. In this short few days of games, the assets of the last group of people have shrunk to [-]% of their original value. Nothing but high-priced silver was obtained. With this small exchange rate war, Kira Yoshitoki not only won the market control of Kyoto and Sakamoto, but also made a profit of [-] guanyong. Unshakable, the merchants in the two places gave up resisting the obediently lowered and proud heads.

After the bricklayers, carpenters, and blacksmiths of the Ming Dynasty arrived, they immediately brought good news to the Kira family. The first to make a major discovery was the bricklayer of the Ming Dynasty. There are too many caves, and a brick kiln was built under the hills at the northwest end of Sakamoto Castle Town.

In late April, the first new town was established at the northern end of Sakamoto Castle Town. The town is a tall house built entirely of bricks and wooden structures. This bricklayer has obviously lived in Kyushu for many years and has a fluent Kyushu accent Japanese. , after considering the problem of multiple earthquakes, he switched to a masonry structure for the outer layer, and built a new type of house with the traditional craft of wooden girder mortise and tenon inside.

In contrast, carpenters and blacksmiths have much less scope for their abilities. They mainly lie in the mutual exchange of woodworking and blacksmithing crafts. Japanese blacksmiths and carpenters still maintain the crafts of the Tang and Song Dynasties, while the crafts of the Ming Dynasty have been compared with the previous ones. The craftsmanship is completely different. After the exchange, the two parties each find their own experience. The craftsmanship of the Tang and Song Dynasties was a rare opportunity for craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty to pursue ancient methods. The new craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty is also a rare opportunity for Japanese craftsmen. Learning opportunities.

The level of doctors in the Ming Dynasty is relatively average, probably because Wang Dan was afraid of learning advanced medical skills, so he only sent a middle-aged doctor under the age of 40, but it is not too much of a problem for him to take care of a few children. A craftsman made it clear that he would only stay for half a year, and not one more day. I can teach you what the implication can teach, but you don't want to hold him back.

Yoshishi Kira readily agreed to what he could do by detaining a few craftsmen. He wanted these people purely as a cover for the goldsmith. If he could learn the method of turning sand with mother money, it would be no problem for these people to return to Kitakyushu immediately.
