After the New Year, Kannaten asked out the patriarchs of the three major families.

"I want to talk about the division of resources. Kannaten said.

plus Tanno Maki, there is also a liaison officer from the headquarters of the Qichuan faction, a total of six people, and they ordered a table of dishes, but no one moved their chopsticks, and everyone listened to Kannaten's speech.

The ghost dragon and tiger asked, "What does the so-called division of resources refer to?"

Kannaten personally poured a glass of wine for each of them and said, "Everyone here, except for Minister Maki, has its own income channels, although we ninjas don't have much need for money, but we have to worry about supporting a large number of people." ”

Ghost Lantern Dragon Tiger nodded sympathetically and said, "Indeed, now the village is negotiating with the Daimyo's Mansion to reduce tariffs, which has had a big impact on our income. ”

Last year, Midaime has been committed to economic and cultural reforms, and wants to let Wuyin Village "go" out, so he thought of a way to reduce tariffs and attract foreign businessmen to invest, but the demand for local goods in the land of water is not high in the outside world, and once the tariffs fall, it will cause a certain blow to the local economy. Of course, at the national level, the economy will definitely rise, and it is only the local businessmen who will lose.

For Wuyin Village to advocate the reduction of tariffs, many domestic businessmen resolutely opposed, although the Daimyo Mansion is moved, but under the pressure of the people, they do not dare to boldly implement new policies, but recently the political balance of Wuyin Village is slowly tilting towards the Rilun family, and the Daimyo's confidence is also enough, maybe one day the tariffs will be lowered.

Kannaten followed the words of the ghost lantern dragon and tiger and said, "So, we need to plan in advance. A few days ago, I contacted the watermelon mountain puffer ghost of the Ministry of Intelligence, and he is willing to hand over the security employment of the sea trade to us, what do you think?"

"It's certainly good to have an extra income. Hayashika Hanzo said with a smile, "Now the Rilun family is favored by many people, and they have recruited a lot of people, and more than half of the village's employment tasks have been taken over by them. If we can all exchange resources, it is not impossible to fight against them. ”

"Since it is an alliance, it is a matter of time before resources are exchanged. Kai Takanori also agreed, "It's just that the division needs to be fair." ”

Kannatian said: "This is natural, everyone here is your own people, of course, don't make a ghost for a little profit." So, now I'm going to talk about the division of labor, and let's see how it goes. ”

Taking out a map of the coastal areas, Kanaten first drew a diagonal line on several countries along the coast of the interior.

"Look, from north to south, there are five countries: iron, wave, vortex, bear, and tea. ”

Then I dotted a few dots on the countries on the right side of the map.

"A little to the east, the island country on the sea has two countries, Tang and Craftsman, and further east, there is the country of rainbows, and finally our base camp, the country of water. ”

Kannaten put the map in the center of the table, pointed to the map with chopsticks and said, "Then according to the traditional shipping route, one is from the land of iron, the country of Yuno is the transit station, and finally arrives at the country of water, because the Kikawa department is stationed nearby, so this line will be given to the Kikawa department to do, no problem, right?"

The liaison officer of the Qichuan Department nodded a little flattered, "Of course, no problem. ”

"I'm okay with that, fair enough. The ghost lantern dragon and tiger said directly.

"Yes. ”

"No problem. ”

The other two nodded yes.

Kannaten shook his chopsticks again and said, "Next is the second route, starting from the country of bears, going straight to the country of water, but it must be repaired on some small islands or islands on the way, there are a large number of reefs around, and there are often incidents of hitting the reefs." This route takes the least amount of time, and if it goes well, it can greatly reduce the transportation cost, but the disadvantages are needless to say, and it needs to take a lot of risks. ”

Speaking of this, Kannatian spread his hands and said with a smile: "Then according to the level of output, the one that ensures the safety of this route, in addition to the employment fee of the fleet, can take an extra share of the final share, which I think everyone should understand, now, who wants to do it?"

Lin Zhong Hanzo and Kai Xiaonori pondered for a while, the latter nodded the table, and said: "We, the Kai clan, began to serve the Daimyo Mansion before the establishment of the village, and we have done a lot of work that is a hundred times more dangerous than this, I think I will be responsible for this line." ”

Lin Zhong Hanzang was not hypocritical, and said: "Then hand it over to the patriarch of Xiaodian." ”

Kannaiten clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, and continued, "Then it's decided, there is also this route, starting from the country of bears, stopping at the country of craftsmen and rainbows in turn, and finally arriving at the country of water, although this route takes a long time, but it is safe, so leave it to the patriarch of Hanzang." ”

Hayashiaka Hanzo said with satisfaction: "Yes." ”

Kannaten continued: "There is still me and Minister Maki, and if Minister Maki is left, he will be in charge of public relations in the village, such as access documents, etc., and he will need everyone's help in this regard." ”

No one has an opinion on this, and part of the village's annual business quota is in their hands, and the recent business slump is not harmful, so it doesn't hurt to take it out for their own people.

"In addition, the watermelon mountain puffer ghost is responsible for finding people to trade with, and forcibly levying security money on merchants other than us, increasing their costs. Kannaten held up a finger and said, "Basically, as long as we join forces, we can guarantee that all other competitors will be excluded from the market, if there is a merchant who is not convinced, then it will be solved by the puffer fish, and if a guy is lucky enough to come to the door, then we will come out, how about it?"

Everyone understands what Kannaten means, this is to be a monopoly......

In these years, the income of most ninjas is limited to a small amount of employment fees, and if they can meddle in national-level commerce, they will definitely make double their profits. As for the life or death of those foreign businessmen, what does it matter to them?

"What about you?" asked Ghost Lantern Dragon, "what are you responsible for?"

The corners of Kannatian's mouth hooked, and said: "You are responsible for the security of the trading channel, and I am responsible for the mobilization of labor, I have a group of subordinates overseas, among them those who have experience in operating ships will lead caravans, and those who have no experience will go on ships to learn, it won't take long for us to cultivate a group of regular fleets." ”

Everyone secretly said in their hearts, if they want to control this kind of heavyweight commerce, they need not ten hundred people, but manpower in thousands, where are there so many people in Kanna?

Unconsciously, everyone was brought into the rhythm of Kanaten's words, which was a good sign that they were getting used to obeying Kannaten's orders.

"There's one more problem. Kai Takanori suddenly said, "If there is pressure from the Daimyo's Mansion, how should we deal with it?"

Kannatian said categorically: "Contact the big merchants in the country, after the goods are transported to the land of water, they will be handed over to this group of people to sell, and we will only earn the difference in the middle." In addition, in the future, tariffs will be reduced, and the local goods of the land of water will lose their competitiveness, and their goods will not be sold abroad at all, so send someone to talk to them, and if they agree to join us, we will be responsible for the export of goods, and we can complement each other in import and export. Moreover, the fleet comes and goes, and there is no need to empty the warehouse, on the one hand, it can earn a little more, and on the other hand, the weight increase of the cargo ship can also reduce the danger of sailing on the sea. ”

"Good idea. Ghost Lantern Longhu sighed sincerely, "In this way, domestic businessmen will also be on our side." ”

"It's a win-win situation. Kannaten said, "You can't just let the daimyo make money and ignore the survival of the people, right? After a few transactions and everyone trusts each other, we can attract more people to join us and try to avoid the tariff level, and if it really comes to that day, I don't need to say how much profit we can make, right? The most important thing is that controlling the economy of the village is for the sake of profit for the merchants, but it can also be a shortcut to expanding the political discourse for everyone here." I'm done, and if there's no objection, that's it?"

Everyone thought for a while and nodded.

"I joined. ”

"I'm on board. ”

"I agree on behalf of the Kikawabu, but I would like to ask what Terumi-sama means, and in my experience, it should be fine. ”

Kannato secretly clenched his fists and praised himself in his heart.

"Very well, let's start preparing when we go back. Now, let's have dinner, and I'll give you a drink. ”

Six wine glasses were raised in the air, and then they touched each other, and the wine rippled slightly, reflecting a brilliant light.
