Soji Tsugawa was thinking carefully about the pros and cons of selling the musket to the Nagao family at this time.

First of all, in the RB area, in addition to the Tsugawa family, the Tanegashima family has it, or the Shimazu family. In addition to the current iron cannon used by the Tsukawa family in actual combat, even the Shimazu family is still only in the exploration stage.

With the relationship of Shadillo, there will be no shortage of muskets if there is no accident outside the Tsugawa family, and even cannons are not difficult.

Now the Nagao family wants to buy a few muskets from the Tsugawa family, and the intention is obvious, that is, they want to imitate them.

The number of muskets sold to the Nagao family must not be too much, after all, it is unknown whether the Nagao family and the Tsugawa family will stand on opposite sides in the future. And if you sell one or two to the Nagao family, you are not afraid that the Nagao family will copy it, and it will not have any impact on the Tsugawa family.

"However, it can't be so cheap for the longtail family." Soji Tsugawa touched his chin, and then said with a smile, "Since Lord Naoe speaks, the family agrees." ”

"Just ..........."

"Just what?" Originally, Naoe was quite happy to hear Tsugawa Soji speak so well, but as Tsugawa Soji's voice changed, Naoe Minoru's heart also pinched.

Looking at Naoe's expression, Tsugawa Soji laughed secretly in his heart, and then said quietly, "It's just that the price of this musket is extremely expensive, and Naoe-sama may ........ Alas, let's leave this matter at that. This is the careful thinking that Tsugawa Soji deliberately played, so that it can not only arouse the appetite of Naoe Minotsuna, but also hide the method of agitation.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard the words of Tsugawa Soji, Naoe Minoru was heartbroken, and immediately said loudly, "Tsugawa-sama! Could it be that my longtail family is so unbearable that I can't even afford two muskets? ”

"Where, where!" Soji Tsugawa hurriedly said, "The Nagao family is the overlord of Echigo, so naturally they can afford it!" It's just that the price of this musket is indeed a bit expensive, so are you sure you want to buy it? ”

"Of course! It's just two muskets, Tsugawa-sama, just make an offer! Naoe Minoru said with a smug face.

Soji Tsugawa then said to the wise Shibei beside him, "Shibei, quote the price of the musket to the two adults!" After speaking, Tsugawa Soji secretly compared a "2" with his hand to the wise Shibei, which means 2000 guan.

The wise ten guards nodded knowingly, and then spoke up, "Two lords, the musket was purchased by the family from the Southern Barbarians at a great deal of money. A musket cost the family 20,000 yuan! ”

"It's only 2......... What the! How much do you say? Naoe Minorutsuna's face changed suddenly, and he stared at the wise Shibei in disbelief, while Nagao Jinghu was also blinded. 20,000 ????

Even Soji Tsugawa was stunned, "These ten guards are darker than me!" ”

Wise Shibei nodded affirmatively, "A musket is 20,000 yuan, this is the price for this family to buy muskets from the Southern Barbarians!" ”

"Gollum!" Minoru Naoe couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then said to Soji Tsugawa with a blinded face, "Lord Tsukawa, the price of this musket is still .. It's really unexpected! ”

Seeing that things had come to this point, Tsugawa Soji could only follow the words of Akechi Shibei to round B first. "yes, if it weren't for the price, how could this thing be so powerful?"

But this time Naoe Minoru is really cowardly, one musket is 20,000 times, and two are 40,000 pieces. Let's not talk about whether you can afford it, if you really buy these muskets, then Nagao Qingjing knows that he can't kill himself?

Seeing Naoe Minorutsuna's hesitant expression, Tsugawa Soji also knew that the price was indeed high, and if he really missed this opportunity to slaughter a fat sheep, Tsugawa Soji was a little unwilling in his heart.

After thinking about it, Soji Tsugawa rolled his eyes, and then said, "Alas! To tell you the truth, my family doesn't want to sell it so expensive. The main reason is that the entire savings of the family only bought 3 muskets, and it took nearly a year to imitate 30 muskets. ”

"Or will we sell you our own imitation muskets?" Soji Tsugawa said slowly with a kind smile on his face, "If it's a musket imitated by the family, how about an 8,000 shot?" After saying that, Tsugawa Soji also showed a painful expression.

And after listening to the words of Tsugawa Soharu, Minoru Naoe and Nagao Keitora acted.

It's not because of the "low price" of 8,000 kan, but what Soji Tsugawa just said, the Tsugawa family copied 30 muskets on their own?

"Jinghu Palace, in this way, if the family can buy a musket, then wouldn't it be able to successfully imitate it?" Minoru Naoe whispered to Nagao Jinghu.

Nagao Keihu also nodded and said, "From what Tsugawa Soji said just now, it is not difficult to see that the musket bought from Sardillo is very expensive, but if you copy it yourself, it will be more than half cheaper. ”

"If the family can successfully imitate the musket, in addition to strengthening the power of the family, it can also sell the musket to others in the future!" Long-tailed Jinghu suddenly realized that this might be a good opportunity.

Hearing this, Naoe Minoru nodded, and then said to Tsugawa Soji, "Tsugawa-sama, since that's the case, let's buy a 20,000 musket!" Afraid that the quality of the musket imitated by the Tsugawa family would not be good, Minoru Naoe gritted his teeth and decided to buy an "original" one.

Half an hour later, Soji Tsugawa had Akechi Shibei fetch a musket from the warehouse at Ueno Castle, and Minoru Naoe handed a box of silver to Soji Tsugawa worth 20,000 kan.

"It's finally here!" Holding the musket in his hand, Naoe Minoru felt a burst of excitement in his heart, and when he thought of Nagao Haruki's entrustment to himself, Naoe Minoru suddenly felt the value of the 20,000 flowers. And Nagao Jinghu also looked at the musket in Naoe's hand with a look of curiosity and excitement, and when Sandillo demonstrated the musket to the people of Nagao's family that day, Nagao Jinghu was also among them. For muskets, a novel weapon with great lethality, Long-tailed Jinghu has a great interest.

It's a pity that it wasn't until a few years later that Nagao Keihu and Minoru Naoe, who knew the truth, couldn't stop crying.

And Tsugawa Soji on the side looked at the silver judgment in his hand at this time, and couldn't help but think of a place.........

"I almost forgot about Sado Island, this is a mountain of gold!" Isolated overseas, Sado Island is separated from Echigo by the sea. It has been a place of exile since ancient times, and it belongs to the place where birds don't poop. However, as a traverser, Soharu Tsugawa knows very well that there are a lot of gold mines on this small island!

Originally, Soji Tsugawa had imperceptibly forgotten about it, but after seeing the silver judgment handed to him by Minoru Naoe, Soji Tsukawa suddenly remembered it again.

"However, Sado Island is not close to my home, so I can't control Sado Island for the time being. The situation on the island is not very clear, and it seems that the next thing to do is to get some words out of the mouth of the Nagao family. Soji Tsugawa thought to himself.

In this way, the three of them, each with their own concerns, discussed for a while.

After nearly an hour of conversation, the Tsugawa family and the Nagao family initially reached a verbal agreement to form an alliance, and only after Naoe Minoru and others returned to the territory with the Tsugawa family's letters, there would be a special envoy to hand over the Nagao family's covenant to the Tsugawa family.

As it was close to noon, Soji Tsugawa invited Minoru Naoe and Nagao Jinghu to dine at home, unaware that it was this banquet that changed Nagao Jinghu's life........
