To the west is Konji, Sakai Port, and Miyoshi's home.
Miyoshi Masayasu looked impatiently at Tsuda Muneki who came to ask for a meeting, and felt disgusted when he saw her humble and fawning look.
"What brings you here?"
The Tsuda clan has a close heart.
In order for her business to go smoothly, she continued to please Sanhao Zhengkang and donated countless properties.
But when the Shiba family merchants followed Takada Haruno and used the Shinsengumi to punish her, Miyoshi Masayasu ignored her, making her a joke for the entire Sakai Port merchants.
Even so, she did not dare to show any dissatisfaction and continued to worship this Sanhao family boss.
Wu is noble and business is cheap, this is the fate of merchants. She was very jealous of Imai Munehisa because the Shiba family actually gave a businessman the status of the samurai family.
I really don’t know what to say!
Tsuda Soji bowed to the ground and said cautiously.
“Sir, things are not peaceful in Tiansa Port these days.
Not knowing what was going on, the monk of the Yixiang Sect suddenly entered the Sakai Port area and killed the steward of Tuchang, which shocked the assembly.
Ten people in Nawu discussed the matter, Imai Munehisa tried his best to smooth it over, and Sen no Rikyu pretended to be confused and ignored the matter.
But this matter has caused panic among many businessmen. Would you like to come forward to appease the emotions of the businessmen so as not to affect the stability of Sakai Port. "
Tsuda Muneki carefully considered his words and secretly looked at Miyoshi Masayasu's face.
Sakai Port is an autonomous port for merchants. The Wu family does not understand business. They just ask for money and supplies.
No matter who occupied Sakai Port, in order to ensure that the hen that laid golden eggs could continue to provide tax revenue, the samurai family generally did not intervene in the specific management.
A customs office was set up to collect taxes, and the specific affairs were left to the merchants of Sakai Port to manage themselves. And Sakai Port businessmen also like this model, so as to prevent the stupid samurai from pretending to understand and causing everyone to lose money.
The Sakai Association is a joint organization of merchants in Sakai Port. The Naya Ten People are headed by the ten strongest merchant houses in Sakai Port. The leader is the wholesaler Sen no Rikyu.
Senke was originally a samurai family of the shogunate, and fled to Sakai Port after the failure of the political struggle in Kyoto. Although they were forced to engage in business, Senke, who had the blood of the samurai family, was naturally more noble than the merchants in Sakai Port.
There were ten people in the house, the one with the highest status was Sen no Rikyu, the head of the Senke generation, and the one with the strongest financial resources was Imai Munehisa, followed closely by Tsuda Muneki.
These three people are collectively called Sancha people, and they are representatives of the merchants in Sakai Port.
Merchants have a low status, and tea ceremony is a tool for them to get closer to the Wu family. Big businessmen are big tea people.
Tea is a luxury product, and learning the tea ceremony, tasting and serving tea is an art that requires a lot of money.
The tea party is a way for merchants to make offerings to the Wu family. We are all decent people, so we can't just bring carts of copper coins to the door of the Wu family, right?
The Wu family accepts money from merchants, and it is disrespectful for a noble man to seek wealth from a lowly man!
The Wu family has an orderly society of superiority and inferiority. If businesses want to move closer to the Wu family, they need a ritualistic form. Through tea parties and gifts, the Wu family's self-esteem is satisfied and they appear to be educated.
In the final analysis, this tradition is just hypocritical.
Miyoshi Masayasu looked at the sincere face of Tsuda Soki and sneered in his heart.
This person has bad intentions.
This time, the person who was killed by Xiang Zonglai was the steward of Tokura. It seemed that he was intervening in the internal affairs of Sakai Port, but in fact he was cleaning up his own family.
Tsuda Muneki came to complain, but he actually wanted to kill someone with a knife and let Miyoshi Masayasu come forward to deal with Takada Harano.
When Takada Yono robbed Tsuda Muneki's warehouse, Miyoshi Masayasu, who was Tsuda Muneki's protector, was busy with the internal fighting within the Miyoshi family and was worried about the shogunate's reaction, so he did not support Tsuda Muneki.
This incident was very disgraceful to Miyoshi Masayasu and made her very angry. Tsuda Muneki figured out her thoughts and used the topic to give Masayasu Miyoshi a reason to deal with Shiba Shinsengumi.
Miyoshi Masaksu said calmly.
"Ixiang Zong has negotiated with me before about entering Sakai Port, and I allowed it."
Tsuda Soji was stunned for a moment. Does she care if Ichigo Zong reported it?
not give a damn about! She was looking for an excuse to torment Imai Munehisa and Takada Yono behind him. But why doesn't Miyoshi Masayasu take over?
Tsuda Soji thought for a while and then tentatively said.
"When Xiang Zong entered Sakai Port, Konishi Lonzo and other merchants were very panicked..."
"Shut up!"
Miyoshi Masayasu glared at Tsuda Muneji. This bastard couldn't understand her calming attitude and insisted on causing trouble.
Can this be discussed on the table? Mihaozhengkang didn't dare to touch this.
Because this is a fight that is more cruel than the fight between martial arts families, a religious fight.
Lonzo Konishi is the largest medicinal herb dealer in Sakai Port. Although medicinal materials are not as profitable as ferry money, land warehouses, and arms, medicinal materials dealers are also very profitable in the war-torn warrior society.
Of course, Miyoshi Zhengyao does not care about the financial resources of the medicinal material merchants. Imai Munehisa, a big businessman who was engaged in bringing in money and arms, was just a bigger ant in her eyes.
The most troublesome identity of Konishi Lonzo is that she is a Nanman cultist. She is one of the leaders of the Nanban cult in Sakai Port.
The Nanman trade introduced not only advanced technologies such as iron cannons, but also troublesome things like Nanman religion.
Especially the Western and Portuguese Southern Barbarians, their greatest passion is not trade, but missionary work. Trade does not have to make money, but faith must be spread.
As many years as the iron cannon has been passed down, the Nanman Cult has also been passed down for many years.
Nowadays, Nanman Sect has three major dioceses in Japan, namely Kyushu, Kyoto, and Edo, with 200,000 to 300,000 followers, and it has become a force.
The believers of the Nanman Cult led by Konishi Lonzo, on the one hand, enjoy the priority of Nanman trade. On the other hand, they are attracted by the idea of equality in the Nanman Cult that all of them are lambs of the Lord.
They grouped together under the Nanman Sect and formed a considerable force on the east coast of the Seto Inland Sea centered on Sakai Port.
Sakai Port is a free port. Tsuda Muneki mentioned that Ichikou Mun entered Hong Kong to kill people. Konishi Lonzo and other Nanman believers were panicked. This was a naked incitement of religious conflicts. How dare Miyoshi Masayasu take this topic?
Why should she get involved in the fights of those religious lunatics? Those people don't even care about profits and can die for their beliefs.
The main temple of Honganji Temple of Ichigo sect was originally located in Hokurikudo. It was destroyed and moved several times, and finally settled in Ishiyama Honganji Temple on the edge of Sakai Port.
Are the old sects like the Tendai Sect and Shingon Sect showing mercy, or are they unwilling to drive him away anymore?
Faith is not a treat, it is a comprehensive destruction and conquest from body to spirit. Kneel or die, no compromise.
How can Ishiyama Honganji Temple gain a foothold in Nishikon and even expand its faith? Whose interests will be harmed?
Ichigo Mun is sitting in the Ishiyama area at the junction of the three countries of Settsu, Izumi, and Hanoi. Mount Hiei, Mount Koya, and Mount Wakayama are watching and ignoring them. So who is worried?
From Settsu to Kyoto, it is the second largest diocese of Nanman Sect in Japan after Kyushu.
As for the Kanto Diocese in the Edo area, the influence of the Nanman Sect is weak, the Kanto samurai there are more conservative, and the Pure Land Sect in the Kamakura area is not vegetarian.
How could Miyoshi Masayasu treat the Ichixiang Sect's move to clean up the family as a religious conflict between Nanman Sect and Buddhism?
Can't get through this day?
