In the afternoon of the same day, in the Tsugawa Yashiki, Tsugawa Soji was lying in the courtyard and resting. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's rare to have time to relax, Tsugawa Soji cherishes it extraordinarily, but the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, and before he can close his eyes when he lies down, the figure of Takahashi Xingjia meets the eyes of Tsugawa Soji.

"Xingjia, what's the matter?" Soji Tsugawa didn't bother to get up, and sat lazily on the ground and said.

Takahashi Koke hurriedly replied, "My lord, Ogasawara-sama sent a message to say that a few merchants had just found the main family and asked about the main family's castle town. ”

"Oh? Merchant? Soji Tsugawa suddenly became interested, "How many people are there?" ”

"I don't know."

"Hmm." Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "Let's go, go to Ogasawara." ”

"Yes."

.........

Tsugawa Castle, Ogasawara Yashiki, Ogasawara Nobutoki is at the moment receiving the two people who have just visited, Kinshiro Hirata and Teemon.

"Ogasawara-sama, I wonder what you think of the proposal of the two of us?" Hirata Kinshiro asked tentatively.

Ogasawara replied with a blank face, "As for what the two of you said about running a tavern and a rice grain store outside of Tsugawa Castle, I will only be able to provide you with the house after the approval of the lord of the family." ”

"And the castle town of my family started a big fire the day before yesterday, and I'm afraid it won't be delivered to you in a short time."

After listening to Ogasawara's words, Hirata Kinshiro hurriedly said, "In addition, there is a reluctant request below." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Ogasawara replied.

"Yes!"

"I've heard before that you're willing to provide some assistance to businessmen with insufficient funds, I wonder if this news is true?" Kinshiro Hirata asked. The reason for this question is because although Hirata Kinshiro has a small asset, it is only less than 200. Hirata Kinshiro has such a plan in mind at the moment, a plan to make money, but he is just suffering from the lack of principal. After learning of such news released by the Tsugawa family, Hirata Kinshiro decided to try his luck at the Tsugawa family.

"Of course it's true." Ogasawara Nobutoki affirmed, "The family now has two options for businessmen who are short of funds. ”

"I want to hear about it." Kinshiro Hirata looks like a "good baby".

"The first is very simple, we lend you the money you need, charge a certain amount of interest, and require that all the principal and interest be repaid within 3 years." Ogasawara Shintoki said slowly, "As for the second type, it's not up to me to make the decision, and it needs to be decided by the lord." ”

"........" Kinshiro Hirata almost collapsed in his heart at this time. Yes, it turns out that it's all nonsense for a long time, and everything has to wait for Tsugawa Soji to come and make a decision in person, so I'm still talking nonsense with you?

So Hirata Kinshiro was silent for a moment, but Heiteemon on the side said, "I'm willing to come to Tsugawa Castle to invest in a hostel, but the funds are sufficient, I just hope to rent a better house, and in terms of rent, I also ask Ogasawara-sama to give some care, and I feel very good." ”

"Hmm." Ogasawara nodded, and just as he was about to say something, the voice of Takahashi Koke came from outside.

"The lord has arrived!"

Ogasawara Shintoki hurriedly got up and said to Hirata Kinshiro and the others, "The lord is here, sit down quickly." ”

After a short time, Soharu Tsugawa strode into the house and sat down on the main seat in the center.

"I've seen the lord."

"Kinshiro Hirata (Heite Uemon), I've seen Tsugawaden."

Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "I heard that a merchant came to my house, but I don't know who it is?" ”

Ogasawara Shintoki hurriedly pointed to the Herate Uemon and Hirata Kinshiro and replied, "My lord, this is the Herate Uemon who runs the Yujiba business in the area of Izukugo. This is Hirata Kinshiro, a traveling merchant in Senhoku County, who specializes in transporting goods from Minato Castle and other places to sell to our Senhoku County. ”

"Hmm." After hearing this, Tsugawa Soji nodded, turned his head and said to Heite Uemon and the others, "Since we are here, we might as well have something to say." Some of the news from this family is already known to the two of you, so let's talk about your thoughts and concerns. ”

Seeing that the main lord had already come, Hirata Kinshiro hurriedly said, "Tsugawa Palace, I want to run the rice and grain business in Tsugawa Castle, and I also want to borrow some funds from you, and I hope that Tsukawa Hall can agree to this." ”

"Rice business? Don't know how? Do you want to meet the needs of the people, or do you buy your own food and sell it elsewhere? Soji Tsugawa asked.

Hirata Kinshiro hurriedly replied, "I don't have enough strength to run a business of this scale, so I mainly buy grain from farmers, and then buy it in the neighboring Iwate or Waga districts. ”

"But in this case, do you still need to borrow money from the family?" Soji Tsugawa said puzzled. I originally thought it was a big business, but I didn't expect it to be a reselling of rice and grain, and Tsugawa Soji was not interested for a while.........

"It's not all like that." Hirata Kinshiro saw that Soji Tsugawa seemed to have lost his patience, and hurriedly continued, "Actually, I met a big businessman who was able to ascend to the country in Minato Castle by chance. ”

"He wants to find a powerful merchant in our country to buy a large amount of grain, and he doesn't have such a big strength to meet his requirements at the moment, so he wants to ask for help from Jinchuan Dian."

"Oh? A merchant who can go to the country? Soji Tsugawa became interested, "How much food does the other party want?" ”

"The forecast is around 4,000 stones, and if it goes well, there will be future trade in the future." Kinshiro Hirata replied.

"4,000 stones? What's the price? Soji Tsugawa then asked.

Heteemon hesitated for a long time before he replied, "Tsugawaden, this... This..."

Looking at the embarrassed look of Hirate Uemon, Soji Tsugawa suddenly thought, "I'm in a hurry, I forgot that this is a trade secret." ”

So Soji Tsugawa hurriedly replied with a smile, "Your Excellency, don't be careful, this family doesn't mean anything else, it's just a quick mouth." ”

"No hindrance, no hindrance." Hirata Kinshiro hurriedly replied.

Soharu Tsugawa continued, "In that case, how much money do you want to borrow from the main family?" ”

"This... It is expected to be around 2000. "Hirata Kinshiro is actually not easy to speak, after all, 2000 is not a small amount, I don't know each other, I don't even know my own details, as long as I am not a fool, I will not agree to myself.

Hirata Kinshiro also has no way, where do you ask him to find 2000? Even if he and Heteemon's entire net worth combined, it is estimated that it will not exceed 500 kan. But Hirata Kinshiro is unwilling to let go of the current big business of making money, you must know that 4000 stone grain is estimated to be about 2300 guan if you buy it in the country of Dewa (good rice, not ordinary brown rice and coarse rice), and if you sell it to Nogokoku, you can buy 3000 kan, close to 3% of the profit makes Hirata Kinshiro already red-eyed, but unfortunately there is no money in his hand, so Hirata Kinshiro came to Tsugawa Soji to borrow money.....

It's a pity that Hirata Kinshiro also looks up to the Tsugawa family too much, let alone 2000, I'm afraid that even if it is 200, Tsukawa Soji may not be able to get it now. (To be continued.) )
