Chapter 296: A Business Worth Tens of Thousands!
"10,000 stones?" Even though he had been prepared, after listening to Yoshino Yoshino's words, Tsugawa Soji couldn't help but let out an exclamation!
Tsugawa Soji originally thought that Yoshino Yoshino's so-called large amount of grain was at best the scale of four or five thousand koku sold to Noto Province last time, but he didn't expect it to be ten thousand koku!
Yoshino Ryoshi ignored Tsukawa Soji's surprised expression, and continued without being shocked, "This is only the first transaction, if things go well, there may be more than 20,000 to 50,000 koku of grain in the future!" ”
At this time, Tsugawa Soji was really shocked, although the Tsugawa family does have so much food now, and even much more, but the Tsugawa family's own development and ashigaru's daily consumption, plus the food reserves of the war, there is not much left in addition to these. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Now Yoshino Ryoshi opened his mouth to trade grain in ten thousand stones, which really shocked Tsugawa Soji.
"Yoshino-sama, forgive me for being rude, can I know why Yoshino-sama needs so much food?" Soji Tsugawa asked.
Yoshino Ryoshi looked at Soji Tsugawa, and then said slowly, "Actually, it's nothing, mainly because Lord Tsugawa lives in a remote place in Dewa, so I don't know much about the news from Kyoto and other places." ”
"In March of this year, the Ouchi clan and the Mori clan of Aki attacked the Chinese family of Nizi. (This China is the middle of Japan, not my Great Celestial Empire!) Unexpectedly, the Ouchi Maori coalition was defeated by the Niko family in the battle with Gassan Tomita Castle, and the Niko family took advantage of the situation to seize the territory of the Mori family and the Ouchi family, and even Iwami Ginzan fell into the hands of the Niko family. Recently, the Ouchi family and the Mori family are preparing to attack the Niko family again, so I just purchased a large amount of grain from Dewa and prepared to sell it to Aki and other places! Yoshino said slowly.
"In addition, the Kyoto area has not been peaceful recently, and there is a shortage of food under the continuous war, which makes it profitable for us merchants who sell grain!" Yoshino said with a smile.
Tsukawa Soji nodded, Tsukawa Soji still knew something about the Ouchi family and the Maori family joining forces to attack the Niko family. Historically, this battle is known as the First Battle of Gassan Tomita Castle.
The earliest cause of this battle was that the newly succeeded governor of the Niko family, Haruhisa Niko, launched an attack on the Mori family's Yoshida-gun mountain castle with high spirits, but was unexpectedly defeated by the Mori family and the reinforcement Ouchi family outside Yoshida-gun Mountain Castle.
Seeing the defeat of the Niko family, the Ouchi family felt that there was an opportunity, so they united with the Maori family to launch a series of offensives against the Niko family. At this time, the pillar stone of the Nizi family, which had been in seclusion, left a legacy for a long time. He made several wealthy families who belonged to the Niko family pretend to defect to the Ouchi family, and when the Ouchi family and the Mori family launched an attack on Gassan Tomita Castle, they suddenly rebelled, resulting in the defeat of the Ouchi family and the Mori family.
This battle was the last glory of Niko's enduring life, allowing the Niko family to reach its peak! The battle, which lasted for nearly two years, made the Chinese region short of food, so Yoshino Yoshino and other businessmen would pay attention to selling grain to the Chinese region.
"There are a lot of grains in the family, but I don't know what the price is?" After thinking about the reason, Tsugawa Soji was willing to sell grain, after all, the development of the Tsugawa family has been in need of money everywhere recently.
Yoshino Ryoshi hurriedly replied, "Now the only people who can provide so much food to me in the Yugo region are Lord Tsugawa and the Ando family, the first transaction of 10,000 stone of grain, I am willing to pay 4,000 yuan to Lord Tsugawa, I don't know what Lord Tsugawa thinks?"
"4,000?" Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "Yes, the price is very reasonable, this business has been done!" ”
Yoshino Yoshino was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Thank you, Lord Tsugawa!" Once the 10,000 stone grain is successfully sold, it will go to Jinchuan City in the next year, and tens of thousands of stone grain may be needed at that time! ”
"The problem of food is easy to say, as long as the price is reasonable, the last thing that our family lacks is food!" Soji Tsugawa said with a smile.
Tsugawa Soji didn't pretend to be B just to say this, the Tsugawa family now has about seventy or eighty thousand stone of grain, and the autumn harvest will be in two months, and then tens of thousands of stone of grain will be put into storage, and these grains are not a big problem for the Tsugawa family.
On the contrary, what the Tsugawa family desperately needs right now is precisely money! The development of the territory is completely a burning of money, and the original savings of the Tsugawa family are also thousands, but they are all spent in less than a year! Money is needed everywhere, and Tsugawa Soji can't think of any other way to get so much money than to sell grain.
"That's good! There is a fleet in Minato Castle, and it will rush to Yodogawa Castle in a few days, and when the time comes, I will ask Tsugawa-sama to transport the grain to Yodogawa Castle, and 4,000 yuan will also be handed over to Tsugawa-sama! Yoshino said with a smile.
"Hmm!" Soji Tsugawa nodded, then turned his gaze to Yataro Iwasaki on the side, and asked, "Iwasaki-sama, I don't know what you need?" ”
Yataro Iwasaki hurriedly replied, "Lord Tsukawa, the requirements below are very simple, and you need 100,000 catties of wood below. ”
"100,000 catties? According to the conversion algorithm of later generations, it is 50 tons of wood, which is not much! Soji Tsugawa silently calculated in his heart, and then said, "So how much is Iwasaki-sama going to pay the family?" ”
"Uh........" Yataro Iwasaki hesitated, tentatively gestured and said nervously, "How about 1500 runs?" ”
After hearing this, Tsugawa Soji shook his head and said, "2000 guan, no two prices!" ”
Yataro Iwasaki hurriedly said, "Deal!" After saying that, Yataro Iwasaki involuntarily showed a smile!
Tsugawa Soji looked at Iwasaki Yataro's appearance and knew that the price was still low, in fact, this can't be blamed on Tsugawa Soji, after all, this is the first time that the Tsugawa family has sold wood, and Tsugawa Soji doesn't know the price at all.
Soji Tsukawa also instinctively increased the price on the 1500 guan from Yataro Iwasaki, but he never expected that even 2000 guan would still be low!
Yataro Iwasaki also expected that Soji Tsugawa might not know much about the price of wood, so he deliberately quoted a very low price to try Soji Tsukawa's reaction, but he didn't expect Soji Tsukawa to really not know the price of wood, and it was only 2,000 pieces of wood for 100,000 catties. You must know that in the past, Yataro Iwasaki bought wood from wealthy families such as the Kudo family and the Tasuo family in Mutsu, and only bought 60,000 catties of wood after 2,000 stones.
However, although the wood was lost, Tsugawa Soji still didn't feel distressed, after all, wood is not comparable to food. There are many mountains and forests in the Tsugawa family, and only 50 tons of timber can be sold for 2,000 yuan, which is considered an additional income.
In this transaction, the main head is still on Yoshino's side, and Yataro Iwasaki is just as an additive. After all, for food alone, the Tsugawa family can harvest one or two thousand yuan, which is a transaction of tens of thousands of yuan. In contrast, this point of wood Tsugawa Soji is not in his eyes.
