After listening to Shadillo's words, Soji Tsugawa suddenly asked puzzled, "Why is this?" ”

Shadillo turned his head and replied with a smile, "Tsugawa-sama, didn't God tell you in your dream that in Europe, porcelain and silk are the most popular?" None of that is here, so of course no one will come again. ”

"Compared to the Ming Kingdom on the other side of the sea, RB is too poor. There is neither vast land nor abundant produce, and there is nothing worth trading at all. To give you a very simple example, take my fleet. ”

"We make a round trip from Ming to Portugal, and we can earn 6,000 riyals if we are fully loaded with goods! And a trip from RB to Ming can only earn 300 riyals, so after a few more caravans, no one will come, because they will find that they can't make any money here. Shadillo said slowly.

Soji Tsugawa nodded, and then said with a funny face, "Since you can't make money, then why are you here Sardiro?" You must know that this is the third time you have come to your own territory. ”

"Oh! That's because my friendship with Tsugawa-sama is far more precious than those vulgar silver coins. "Shadillo began a serious nonsense.

If Soji Tsugawa believes it, it would be right!

Every time Sandillo came to the territory of the Tsugawa family, he could not only sell the porcelain and other goods of the Ming Dynasty to the Tsugawa family to make a profit, and then he also bought additional guns and cannons, which time did he return empty-handed? Perhaps the money earned in the Jinchuan family is far less than the trade route between Europe and the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty is far away from Europe, and RB is much closer to the Ming Dynasty.

If you are strictly calculated, in fact, a few more trips between Daming and RB will make more money casually than if you go to Portugal, Africa and other places.

Seeing the disbelief on Tsugawa's face, Sandillo also hurriedly said, "Well, in fact, the reason why other businessmen can't make money is because they haven't met an enlightened person like Tsugawa-sama. ”

"Sometimes I wonder if it's God's good fortune to meet Tsugawa-sama."

"There is one thing I forgot to tell you, because I have found a cure for scurvy and the new trade route that has been opened with you, Lord Tsugawa, I have gained the recognition of my family. Next year I will win the daughter of Count Ogaro and inherit a fief, and I will be able to become a nobleman from now on, all thanks to you. ”

"So Lord Tsugawa, please accept my sincerest friendship, and Sardillo is willing to be friends with you." There was a hint of gratitude in Chardillo's eyes, and he said sincerely.

Soji Tsugawa smiled undeniably, and then said, "We're already friends, aren't we?" Ha ha! ”

"Hahahaha!"

While talking and laughing, Tsugawa Soji, Sardillo and others had already walked to the shore, looking at the merchant ships loaded with cannons, Tsugawa Soji's saliva was flowing all over the ground. It is no exaggeration to say that the more than 20 merchant ships here in the Chardillo can already be called the strongest naval army in the whole RB.

"Tsugawa-sama, what you want is on the boat." Pointing to a few smaller merchant ships, Sadillo said, "Artillery is not something you can buy, and the process is complicated and cumbersome, so I have brought these for you." ”

"There are a total of 12 guns on those two ships, which is already the limit of what I can take. After this return I would say that I encountered the island, and then the two ships were sunk, so now the two ships are yours, provided that you pay accordingly, of course. ”

"We're friends, but business is business. And I'm taking a big risk by doing this, so I hope you must understand Tsukawa. Shadillo said slowly.

"Of course, my friend!" Soji Tsugawa nodded, then looked at the two merchant ships in front of him with blazing eyes, and said without looking back, "Then my friend, how many riyals do I have to pay for this?" ”

"As a testimony to our friendship, one of these ships is a gift from me. So you only have to pay the price of the other ship, and I will only charge you the cost price, which is 3000 riyals. ”

"As for the guns on board, the price is 1,000 riyals, so you have to pay me a total of 4,000 riyals. If you convert it into a silver judgment on your side, it is 2,000 silver judgments!! With that, Shadillo shrugged his shoulders and said that this was already the lowest price.

Although there was a pain in his heart, this was 20,000 yuan, but considering the importance of artillery to the Tsugawa family, Tsugawa Soji could only grit his teeth and buy it, "Deal!" ”

"Oh, you're so generous!" Sardillo sighed and said, "You know, Tsukawa, you may be an excellent commander, but you are by no means a qualified businessman. ”

"Why do you say that?" Soji Tsugawa asked in confusion.

Perhaps out of a sense of guilt, Sardillo stepped forward and patted Tsugawa Soji on the shoulder, and then said with a look of regret, "Don't talk about that, let's see what I have prepared for you in addition to these cannons!" ”

"Ferdiro, go and get my gift for Tsugawa!" Shadilo said to the strong man standing beside him.

"Yes! Captain! ”

Looking at Ferdiro, who is one meter nine in height, Tsugawa Soji was envious for a while, such a height is simply standing out from the crowd. You must know that the average height of the retainers of the Tsugawa family is only about 1.6 meters, although it is a little difficult to say, but it has to be said that even Tsugawa Soji is only about 1.7 meters, and this is already considered tall in the Tsugawa family.

Taking advantage of Ferdiro's efforts to get his things, Sardillo continued, "By the way, I have brought you 20 craftsmen this time, all of whom are skilled in smelting and blacksmithing. Shouldn't you thank me for that? ”

"Really? Thank you so much! Tsugawa Soji was thrilled when he heard that Sardillo had brought twenty craftsmen, and in a sense, the value of these twenty craftsmen was stronger than the twelve cannons. After all, it is better to give a fish than to give it a fish.

What the Tsugawa family lacked was this kind of "high-tech talent", and once there were craftsmen, the Tsugawa family could directly imitate the musket. Previously, due to the immaturity of the forging and smelting process, although the musket was imitated, it was also a pile of scrap iron. Later, it was said that the Mogami family was killed by a musket and killed twenty or thirty people, and Tsugawa Soji originally planned to use these problematic muskets to pit the Mogami family when he fought the Mogami family again. As a result, these muskets were scrapped before the decisive battle, which shows how rubbish the previous imitation muskets were.

But now, with the craftsmen, it's only a matter of time.

After a while, Ferdiro and two other Nanban people came to Tsugawa Soharu with a box on their shoulders.

After Shadilo stepped forward to open the box, he said to Soji Tsugawa with a smile on his face, "My friend, come and see what I have prepared for you?" ”

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