Hearing this, Tsugawa Soji hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and then his eyes widened, and he said dumbfounded, "This.... This..... It's a handcuff? ”

"Oh! My friend, you know about handcuffs? Seeing Soharu Tsugawa call out the name of the gift he had carefully prepared, a look of disappointment appeared on Sardillo's face, and then he continued, "How is it?" Do you like it? ”

"Not bad!" Soji Tsugawa nodded with satisfaction, then took out one of the handcuffs in the box, and after looking at it, he quickly let out an exclamation, "Tut, it's really exquisite!" After speaking, Tsukawa Soji couldn't put it down, and he took the handcuff in his hand to make an aiming form, and it was reasonable that Tsukawa Soji was still a little excited about the first handjob.

After gesturing for a while, Tsugawa Soji continued, "But although I like your gift very much, I have to say that the handcuffs appeared in China on the other side of the sea as early as the Yuan Dynasty. However, the craftsmanship at that time was still very rudimentary, so it did not appear on a large scale. ”

"But thank you very much for the gift, I like it very much. Of course, it would be nice to have a little more. Soji Tsugawa put the handcuff back, then shrugged his shoulders with a look of regret.

"Sometimes I have to admire you, you seem to know everything. Unfortunately, there are 20 handcuffs here, which is the limit of what I can take. You know, this thing is far more troublesome to make than a musket, and it's far less useful in warfare than a musket, so it's very rare for that unit to be equipped on a large scale, except for a few officers who will have some, so it's very rare on the market now. Shadillo continued.

Soji Tsugawa nodded, "Okay friend, let's not talk about this, compared to the handcuffs, I would like to ask if you also brought me a musket?" Of course, the most important thing is the ammunition, knowing that if you don't have enough ammunition, these muskets are no different from burning sticks. ”

"Of course my friend!" "500 muskets and 100 boxes of ammunition are enough for you for several years." ”

"In addition, I need you to pay for these muskets in gold or silver, and my wallet has been emptied for the purchase of these, so I must return as soon as possible, or I will have to return empty." Shadilo said with a smile.

"Of course!" Soji Tsugawa nodded and replied nondeniably, "But before I pay this money, I have another business I want to talk to you about." Trust my friend, you will be very interested after listening to what I have to say. ”

"Oh? Is it? Then I'll see. Although I don't know what medicine Soji Tsukawa sells in his stomach, Sardillo also believes that Soji Tsugawa will not be untargeted.

"This is not the place to talk, let's go back to Minato City and then discuss."

"Listen to you."

.......

"Oh! Oh, God! You must be crazy! Inside the Minato Castle Castle Tower, Shadilo looked at Soji Tsugawa with an excited face, and said incoherently, "This... It's unbelievable. ”

"You may not believe what I said, but I swear in God's name that what I just said is absolutely true." Soji Tsugawa tries to make Sandillo relax.

"Hi man! You are not religious at all, and God has no binding force on you, okay? Shadillo replied mercilessly, "Honestly, if I hadn't known you for so long, I was sure that you were a sane person, I would have thought you were crazy." ”

"Well, even if I believe you, where is the gold you are talking about?" Shadilo sat down suddenly, then continued.

Soji Tsugawa smiled, "What I can guarantee is that there is indeed so much gold in my territory, but as for where it is, this is the family's secret, so unfortunately I can't tell you." ”

"But as I said, the gold hasn't been unearthed yet. Of course, it's not that our people don't know where, on the contrary we have identified the exact location of these gold mines, but since it is very difficult to mine, I have to ask for your help. ”

"So how can I help you? I love gold, but to be honest, my people and I don't mine it. Sandillo spread his hands out, looking helpless.

"I don't need you to come out, I need gunpowder from your ship."

"Well, I do have gunpowder, so how much do you need?" Shadillo's eyes flashed, and then he asked.

Soji Tsugawa thought for a moment, then said tentatively, "All? ”

"It can't be!" As soon as he heard Tsugawa Soji's words, Sandillo jumped up directly from the ground, "If I give you all the gunpowder, then my fleet will lose the power to protect itself, and the artillery on the merchant ship will all be dumbfired, this is too risky, I can't accept it!" ”

"And what about the half?" Soji Tsugawa continued, "This is a good gold mine, but the reserves are very objective, and generally speaking, if you can mine all these gold mines, it will be enough to make you rich." ”

"Oh God! I take back what I said before, you're not just a great general, you're a vampire in the middle of a thing! Shadillo said dejectedly, "Is it one in two?" Yes, I can give it to you, but you have to convince me and my crew with a fair pay. ”

"You know, if we don't have enough gunpowder, it will be bad if we encounter pirates at sea again!"

"Okay." Soji Tsugawa nodded, and then continued, "One of the gold mines has been initially explored by my people, and there are at least 0.5 tons of gold in storage, of course I am talking about the gold obtained after refining, not gold mines!" ”

"What do you think if I was willing to pay you a tenth of the amount mined from this mine every year for 5 years?" Soji Tsugawa said tentatively.

Shadillo quickly shook his head, "At least half, otherwise there is no need to talk about it." ”

"Well, I'll just put the gold there and wait a few years before it is mined, and the gold will be there anyway, and it won't run. What do you think? As he spoke, Soji Tsugawa seemed to have really made up his mind, and his eyes were full of determination.

At this time, Sandillo grew his mouth and wanted to say something, but eventually gave up. "Tsukawa, knowing you is the most unlucky thing in my life!"

"Is it a tenth? Deal! Shadillo said helplessly with a sad face.

"Good, you made a wise decision." Soji Tsugawa stepped forward and patted Sardillo on the shoulder, then comforted, "Don't be discouraged my friend, even if it's only a tenth, it's enough to shock you." ”

"I hope so."

.......

After nearly a year of exploration and excavation by Rokuro Umino and others, the gold mine on Sado Island finally got its first glimpse. Although only one or two gold mines have been discovered, and the reserves are unknown. Yes, most of those words just now were made up by Soharu Tsugawa, in order to fool Sardillo so that he could hand over the gunpowder on the ship "free of charge".

The Tsukawa family also had many mines in the territory before, but all of them were ready-made, so there was no way for Mino Rokuro and others to start mining an unknown mine. When the report of Rokuro Umino and others reached the hands of Tsugawa Soji, Tsugawa Soji was also a big head.

It just so happened that it didn't take long for Sadillo's fleet to arrive, which made Soji Tsugawa's eyes light up, and it seemed to be very good to blast it with gunpowder.
