Matsunaga Hide was overjoyed, and Honda Masanobu bowed his head humbly after speaking, which made her even more favorable. I just feel that this girl has outstanding intelligence and knows how to behave in a low-key manner, which can be put to great use.
However, she never thought about how Honda Masanobu, a foreigner from Mikawa, learned about the internal relations of the Miyoshi family's warriors, and how she could make accurate and quick judgments based on this.
Where these messages come from, only Honda Masanobu himself knows best.
That graceful and graceful woman in Kyoto, who smiled and befriended her and provided so much accurate information behind her back, made Honda Masanobu a blockbuster.
Although he knew that the price of fate's gift had already been secretly marked, Honda Masanobu, who had nothing and was unwilling to be mediocre, could only accept her kindness and could not refuse.
Matsushita Nagahide defended herself day and night, but she didn't know that Mitsuhide Akechi was good at dancing and was entrenched in Kyoto, but he eventually fell into her plan.
———
West Konki, Sakai Port, where the Shinsengumi is based.
Unaware that the Miyoshi family has begun to use various methods against Sakai Port, Takada Yono, who is engaged in a business war with Tokaido merchants, is worried about having too much money.
Imai Munehisa bowed to the ground in front of her and apologized.
"I'm very sorry, but I really can't spend it."
Takata Harano couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect that one day he would be worried about too many copper coins. She underestimated the value of the Hokuriku Road trade route and also underestimated Tsuchikura's financial resources.
Troubled times have come, the world is in chaos, and it is difficult to recover the money and grain borrowed by Tucang from abroad. It's not that Tucang is afraid that the borrower won't repay, it's just that a dead person can't pay back.
A war can wipe out several martial arts families. A robbery of a caravan would involve hanging several merchants.
In this case, who would Tucang lend money to? How much money can be collected steadily?
It took a lot of effort to find an enemy of the Shiba family. The Hokuriku Road trade route made huge profits, and the Shiba family didn't seem to be a grassroots team that would collapse casually.
Takada Yono wanted to borrow money, and Tokura Manager wanted to borrow money even more. These people were far more greedy and stupid than Takada Yono and Imai Munehisa imagined.
This resulted in too many copper coins being exchanged for the shares pledged by the Hokuriku Trading Road. The famous Tokura in Sakai Port and Kyoto all rushed to send money to Takada Yono.
Even if Imai Munehisa tried his best to subsidize the caravan to take the Hokuriku trade route and buy goods in the market, he still couldn't use up the money.
Imai Munehisa smiled bitterly.
“Sir, we can’t buy any more.
The prices of all large and small goods that can be bought in the market have been driven up by me, ranging from 50% to 30%.
If we buy it again, we will become the enemy of the entire Sakai Port. "
Takada Yangno nodded silently.
A large amount of copper coins deposited in the earthen warehouses hit the market, instantly disrupting normal trading and driving the prices of goods to high levels.
Sakai Port is the most important port in recent years. The valuation of goods booked in winter will affect the commodity market prices of the entire Kosugawa next year.
Although the Sibo family is not afraid of the merchant's anger, they have never heard of what the merchant can do to the Wu family. However, as a result, a large number of small businessmen went bankrupt or operated at a loss, so we must be cautious.
Takada Harano still wants to do business in Sakai Port and wants business channels, so he can't go too far and needs to leave a way for others to survive.
Takada Yono asked.
"How many copper coins do we still have on hand?"
Imai Munehisa said uncertainly.
"Excluding the necessary reserves, there's about 20,000 yuan left, right?
I'm very sorry, but I really can't be sure. There are so many copper coins passing through these days that I haven’t calculated them all yet. "
Imai Munehisa bowed and apologized, while Takada Yono was dumbfounded.
It made the great businessman Imai Munehisa unable to count the money in his hands for a while. It can be seen that the amount of copper coins spit out from the soil warehouse this time was jaw-dropping.
Takata Harano smiled and reassured.
"It's not your fault. Since you can't spend all the money, let me spend it."
Imai Munehisa had a bad premonition in his heart and asked cautiously.
"My lord, where do you want to spend so much money?"
Takada Yono looked at the afterglow of winter outside the house and remembered the heroic words he made in Owari.
I want to make a lot of money, so that the Lord will have endless money for food and military equipment, and command endless military power.
Lord, I want to prove to you that your Takada Yono is no longer what he is today.
She said firmly.
"I want to build a batch of armors and send them to Echigo before the autumn harvest next year to help my lord conquer Kanto."
Imai Munehisa breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be the creation of Kabuto.
Sakai Port is one of the two major commercial and trade centers in recent times. It is a place where merchants and craftsmen gather. Are you worried that you can't find anyone to make a few pieces of protective gear?
She smiled and nodded.
"Indeed, we should do our best to the Lord.
What kind of hood do you want to create? I will supervise it and ensure your satisfaction. "
Takada Harano looked at her with a smile, which made her have a bad premonition.
"I'm talking about armor. It's the kind of plate armor that's pictured in the books handed down from the Southern Barbarians. It's very smooth, very feminine, and very powerful."
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Imai Sojiu's forehead, and he laughed dryly.
"That kind? How many do you want?"
Takada Harano said with his fingers.
"Create two hundred and fifty plate armors, and fifty more vests. They look beautiful, and the Lord will definitely like them."
Imai Munehisa could hardly resist the urge to roll his eyes, feeling like he was suffocating and roaring in his heart.
grown ups! What a nonsense!
During the Kamakura period, the samurai's traditional fighting style was based on riding and shooting. A Ji warrior led the Qiba Lang party, wearing large armor that was convenient for riding and shooting.
Later, as the times progressed and battle tactics continued to innovate, the warriors' large armors were gradually replaced by more protective ones.
Now, with the introduction of external craftsmanship, the Nanman style high-defense Nanman carcass is the most suitable for martial arts at this time, and the technology has been very mature.
But Takada Yono looked down on these practical protective gears, and even skipped the Celestial Dynasty's cloth armor and chose the most beautiful Nanman full-body plate armor.
This kind of plate armor is just powerful and dazzling, and has almost no use in Japan.
Japan's terrain is divided into seven mountains, two rivers and one field. It is rare to fight on open flat ground, and it is not convenient to transport heavy armor when marching. Most of the military armors are medium and light armor that focus on protection, and heavy armor is not needed.
Japan has had plate armor and zhajia since ancient times.
It's just that the smelting technology is insufficient, the pig iron is too brittle, the wrought iron is too soft, and the steel is not yet mature.
The whole piece of cast iron plate armor has too low defense and is the equipment of followers, while Zha armor, which has higher defense and is heavier, is the traditional equipment of the Wu family.
With the technological innovation, the Nanman carcass is a new carcass made by the Japanese based on the Nanman plate armor, but it has not been rolled out on a large scale.
On the one hand, manufacturing is difficult and steel is expensive. On the other hand, it is not suitable for Japan's domestic war needs, and the price/performance ratio is too low.
And Takada Yono is now going to mass-produce the Nanman plate armor, which is more powerful than the Nanman carcass, but is even less suitable for fighting in Japan.
Imai Munehisa really couldn't figure it out, why would he spend this wasted money? Are you tired of having too much money?
Of course, Takada Yono has his own needs. This is not an economic account, but a political account.
She needs to use this batch of plate armor to let Sibo Yiyin shock her current strong financial resources. Provide support for her future position in the heart of the Lord and the power in the Sibo family.
