Ashikaga Yoshiki of Kyoto is preparing to make great achievements, and sets his sights on the Minami Omi Rokkaku family in the east, sharpening his sword.
In the Settsu Kingdom to the west, due to Tamba's failure to suppress the rebellion, the Miyoshi trio have fallen into a greater predicament.
There are a lot of ships in the East Seto Inland Sea, and it is unknown how many envoys are hidden among them. They are communicating with the three good families of Awa Settsu and the two countries.
Sakai Port, the headquarters of the Shinsengumi.
Imai Sohisa said worriedly to Takada Yono.
"Sir, something is very wrong lately. Miyoshi Yasunaga went to Miyoshi Masayasu several times, and the two talked secretly for at least half a day each time.
Do you think that the three good people of the three countries cannot bear it anymore and have to bow to the three good people of the four countries? "
Takada Harano glanced at her, put down the account book in his hand, and said.
"The new governor of the Hatano family is quite capable. He will not leave Yagami Castle. No matter what strategy Miyoshi Choitsu uses, he will definitely be a coward.
If Hatano Harumichi had had this determination, Miyoshi Yoshihide would have only looked at the city and sighed in admiration. Why did the Tanba samurai family surrender to the Miyoshi family and be humiliated.
I know you are worried that if the differences within the Mihaoshi family are resolved, they will go to Luo to challenge the shogunate again and cut off our business and financial routes.
In fact, you don't need to worry.
The Hokurikudo Trading Route is no longer the Hokurikudo Trading Route of the Shiba family. Apart from a pile of debts, what else do you and I have left?
If the two sides of the shogunate and Miyoshi start another war, and the Hokuriku Road trade route is cut off, and those warehouses with loans will be lost, what does it have to do with us? If they want to hate, then they can hate the Miyoshi family and the Ashikaga General.
I, Takata Harano, only have one debt, so instead of killing me, it is better to support me and earn back for them when the war subsides. "
Imai Munehisa shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Takada Yono is acting rogue, but when you think about it, it really makes sense. Today's Hokurikudo Trading Road has been divided into countless shares, all of which have been mortgaged to various warehouses.
The Spo family is nothing more than using operations to invest in shares, and it is a waste of money. Moreover, Takada Haruno borrowed more, which really cost him money and his life.
Those shares that were dispersed and pledged.
In the Settsu area, Ishiyama Honganji Temple has a copy, the Izumi Hosokawa family has a copy, and the Kitakogenchi Mibuchi family has a copy. The young warriors from various places in the West also had their lips wet.
Miyoshi Choitsu and Miyoshi Masayasu are taking the big shot here, and Miyoshi Masayasu is taking the card at Sakai Port. The main family of Shikoku Sanhao couldn't hold back and voted for one.
There was more to the shogunate. The merchants in Kyoto and Sakai Port had a close relationship. The loans from Kyoto Tukura came from the temple and the shogunate's family fortune. Each of these loans to buy shares was not a small amount.
Imai Munehisa also understood that the Hokuriku Road Trade Road was already the golden hen for the forces surrounding the two major commercial centers of Kyoto and Sakai Port, and everyone was counting on it to lay golden eggs.
Regardless of the current turbulent undercurrent, even if a fight breaks out one day, it will probably not affect this trade route. It was because Takada Harano had seen through this that he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and played rogue with peace of mind.
It is impossible for all parties involved in Hokurikudo to kick out Takada Haruno and run the business on her own, because she is a town official of the Shiba family.
In the recent sections of the Hokuriku Road trade route, you can indeed kill Takada Haruno and then play by yourself. But what about along the Hokuriku Expressway? What about the Kanto countries?
The war in Tokaido intensified, and the Imagawa family, the Takeda family, the Matsudaira family, and the Hojo family became a pot of porridge. This traditional trade route has been completely destroyed, and we don’t know when it will be restored.
In this case, Shiba Yoshigan united with the samurai families along the Hokuriku Road and even the Hokuriku Road Ichikou clan. The Houriku Road trade route they jointly developed has become the first choice for going to Kanto in recent years.
Takada Haruno is just a small character. Behind her, Shiba Yiyin and the trade interest group formed by the samurai families of Hokuriku are the ones that are valued by all parties in recent times.
After working hard in Sakai Port for more than two years, Takada Harano has become more and more calm, because she is the dog that Shiba Yoshigan kept in Sakai Port. Sibo Yiyin got along well, and she followed the chicken and dog to heaven.
Takada Yono said.
"You don't have to worry about the messy affairs between the Miyoshi family and the shogunate.
Remember, our most important thing this year is to ensure the mission of transporting military rations to Hokuriku. Secondly, there are no problems with the logistics of recent products to Echigo.
As long as you do these two things well, you and I will make a great contribution to the Guandong Strategy, and the Lord will not be stingy with rewards. "
Imai Mune kowtowed to the ground for a long time, cheered, then stood up and said.
"The purchase of grain is going very smoothly, and the transaction in Nobi Plain has already started. The grain will pass through the non-clearing trade between Mino Kitaomi, and then directly connect to Hokuriku Road from Kitaomi.
The Oda family was willing to sell grain easily, and the bulk of the grain was secured. The grain output in the Nongwei Plain is more than one million dan, and buying a very small part of it is enough for us to complete our mission. "
Hearing the Oda family, Takada Yono couldn't help but snorted. She will never forget what Oda Nobunaga did to her master.
She still needs to be patient now, but one day, she will return this humiliation tenfold and a hundredfold to Oda Nobunaga.
Imai Munehisa didn't know what Takada Yono was thinking, and she continued to report on the affairs.
"Sir, the last batch of steel required for plate armor has arrived at the shore. The craftsmen are working day and night to complete the production of all components before the end of the summer harvest.
If everything goes well, it can be shipped out after the summer harvest, ensuring it reaches Echigo country before the autumn harvest. "
Takada Yono couldn't help but smile and clapped his hands.
"Well done. This is a gift from me to the master for the strategy of Guandong. It must be foolproof, do you understand?"
Imai Munehisa bowed.
"Hi! However, the Nanmanlan people who sent the steel want to see you.
She seems to have tasted the sweetness of this steel transaction and hopes that the cooperation between the two parties can continue. "
Takata Yono scoffed.
"She made too much and became greedy, right? She made several times more gold and silver from this transaction, and of course she hopes to continue.
Such greedy southern barbarians can just be dismissed with a few perfunctory words. "
Imai Mune was about to speak but hesitated, and Takada Yono glanced at her with squinted eyes.
"If you have any ideas, just say it. I'm not a god or a Buddha, so there are always mistakes and omissions. What you say makes sense, and I will naturally consider it."
Imai Munehisa said.
"Your Excellency is wise, how can you be wrong? I just think that we can give this Nanman some resources to support this maritime trade channel."
"Why? Tell me."
"Sir, the most powerful among the Southern Barbarians are the Westerners and the Portuguese.
These Nanman people believe in Nanman religion very devoutly, and their trade often includes missionary conditions. Sometimes in disputes between the Wu family, they would even secretly support the Wu family who believed in the Nanman religion. "
Takada Harano glanced at her and said.
"Whether it is Yixiang Sect or Nanman Sect, as long as it is a fanatic believer, it will be very troublesome."
Takada Yono was unwilling to talk about the relationship between Nanman Cult and Nanman merchants. The water in Sakai Port was too deep.
She just wanted to make more money for her master and increase her value in his heart. It's better to avoid troublesome things like religion.
