"Father Albani, although I live in a remote place, I am fortunate to have the goddess of my dreams explain to me some things about the West. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info have long heard that in the West, there is a weapon that relies on gunpowder to launch projectiles, and the lethality is amazing, I don't know if the priest knows? Soji Tsugawa asked suddenly.

Albani did not doubt him, and quickly replied, "Of course I do!" Isn't it just a musket! There were muskets on the ships of the Shadillo. ”

Tsugawa Soji's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned his head to Sardillo on the side and said, "Lord Sardillo, I don't know if I have the honor to take a look at the musket?" ”

"As you wish, sir!" Shadilo smiled and nodded, then got up and walked out of the house.

A short time later, Sandillo walked in with a musket and handed it to Soji Tsugawa.

Soharu Tsugawa took the musket and tinkered for a while.

Sasaki Mataro and Shimazu Yosaburo on the side finally found a chance to speak, and hurriedly said, "Tsugawa-sama, this thing called a musket is very powerful!" It can penetrate iron pieces in hundreds of steps, and I tried it myself on the way. ”

"Haven't asked your Excellency what to call him?" Soji Tsugawa put down the musket in his hand and said to Shimazu and Saburo.

Shimazu and Saburo hurriedly replied solemnly, "In Shimoshimazu and Saburo, I have met Tsugawa-sama!" ”

"Shimazu? But the samurai of the Satsuma Shimazu family? Soji Tsugawa continued.

"Tsugawa-sama-sama also knows about the Satsuma Shimazu family?" Shimazu and Saburo said excitedly, "But I'm from the Shimazu family in Xiangzhou, and I'm just a ronin at the moment." ”

"Listen to what you say, seems to know something about muskets?" Soji Tsugawa then asked.

Shimazu and Saburo nodded and said, "I have been studying the firecrackers of the Ming Kingdom before I went down, but the muskets held by the Nanban people are even more powerful, stronger than the firearms of the Mingguo. In the following opinion, the musket is really a weapon of war, and it has a miraculous effect! ”

After listening to Shimazu and Saburo's words, Tsugawa Soji's eyes revealed a hint of appreciation.

"Yes, I think so too!" Soji Tsugawa nodded, and then continued, "Shimazu and Saburo, are you willing to go out of the main family?" ”

"Thank you, Lord Tsukawa did not give up, and Saburo died for Lord Tsugawa!" Shimazu and Saburo hurriedly knelt on the ground and said excitedly.

In fact, Shimazu and Saburo have visited the heads of various families in Satsuma, Hinata and other places several times before, but unfortunately, Shimazu and Saburo's requests for office have been rejected. Now, there are powerful masters who take the initiative to recruit themselves, and Shimazu and Saburo agreed without thinking about it.

Actually, the reason why Shimazu and Saburo were rejected is very simple. Because Shimazu and Saburo are not excellent in the art of war, they just have some research on firearms. Therefore, this ability is naturally not favored by other forces. But other people have eyes and don't know gold and jade, but Tsugawa Soji can't. At present, the southern barbarians have all arrived at Tsukawa's house, and if they don't flicker and light a musket to play, then Tsugawa Soji can be killed head-on.

If there is a musket, then the corresponding talent in this area is urgently needed by the Tsugawa family. Now that Shimazu and Saburo have sent it to the door themselves, it has made Tsugawa Soji worry a lot.

Shimazu and Saburo pledged their allegiance to the Tsugawa family, and Tsugawa Soji once again set his sights on Aubani and Sardillo. Ever since he saw the musket, Soharu Tsugawa's heart has been shouting, "You must get it!" ”

"Father Obani, the Tsugawa family needs muskets!"

"As long as I have the musket, I am sure that I will defeat the enemy and keep my territory. In this way, the priest can preach in my territory with peace of mind. Tsugawa said.

"But the musket belongs to Shadillo, and you still have to discuss these things with Shadillo." Albani said embarrassedly.

After listening to Aubani's words, Soji Tsugawa turned his head to look at Sardillo with a look of hope, his eyes full of longing.

Being stared at by Tsugawa Soji's affectionate eyes, Shadilo couldn't help but tighten his chrysanthemum, and hurriedly said, "I don't know how many iron cannons Lord Tsugawa needs?" ”

"There's a play!" Soji Tsugawa suppressed the excitement in his heart, stretched out a finger and said, "1000." ”

"1,000 sticks!" Shadilo couldn't help but let out an exclamation, looking at Tsugawa Soji's handsome face excitedly, and an urge to hit someone filled Shadillo's heart.

"If it's one or two, I'm more than willing to give it to Tsugawa-sama. But 1,000 pieces, it was very difficult for me. "Sardillo clearly misunderstood what Soji Tsugawa meant, thinking that Soji Tsugawa wanted Saudiillo to send 1,000 muskets to the Tsugawa family.

Just kidding, 1,000 muskets is not a small number. Not to mention that I don't have 1,000 of them, and even if I do, I can't give them to Tsugawa Soji for free. It's all money.

Seeing that Shadillo would be mistaken, Soji Tsukawa hurriedly said, "Lord Shadilo, I don't want the adults to give it to me for free. I am willing to buy 1,000 muskets from adults. ”

"Whew.... Shadillo breathed a sigh of relief, and his face improved a little, "Of course you can buy it, but I didn't bring so many muskets with me when I came to the adult's territory this time." If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for me to return to Portugal and bring it to you next time I go to Mingguo. ”

"Next time? That was at least a few years later, and I couldn't wait that long. Tsugawa Soji said in embarrassment, "Then I don't know how many muskets Lord Sandillo has in his hand at this time?" ”

"There are only 300 of them," replied Shadillo, "and the sea is very dangerous, and we ourselves need muskets to face any enemies we may encounter." ”

"What about 100 sticks? I'm willing to buy it with 1,000 silver pieces. Soji Tsugawa continued.

"Oh yes, 1,000 silver judges, about 2,000 Portuguese riyals." Soji Tsugawa added.

The silver judgment produced by the Tsugawa family, one is roughly equal to 20 grams in later generations, and the Portuguese rial at this time is only 10 grams (whether it is correct or not, this is how this book is set anyway, I don't accept you to hit me!! ）。 This 1,000 silver coins is equivalent to 2,000 riyals of silver. Of course, the Tsugawa family can't come up with 1,000 silver judgments, and the Tsugawa family has a total of less than 400 silver judgments.

"2,000 riyals? Tsukawa-sama sure? Shadillo asked, incredulous.

As soon as he saw Shadillo's expression, Soji Tsugawa knew that it was expensive. But there is no way, Tsugawa Soji doesn't know what the price of the musket is worth at this time, so he can only tentatively quote a price to try.

"Of course it's true! I wonder what Lord Shadillo thinks? Soji Tsugawa replied affirmatively.

Shadillo nodded and replied with a smile, "Deal!" ”

In fact, in Portugal, a musket costs only 10 riyals, and 100 muskets sell for 2,000 riyals, and Chardillo is simply making a lot of money. That's twice the profit.

"Tomorrow, I'll give 100 muskets to Tsugawa-sama. Of course, coins worth 2,000 riyals, Tsukawa-sama should also be prepared. After all, I'm a businessman, and I won't trade at a loss. Shadillo continued.

"Of course!" Soji Tsugawa said with a smile, "But at present, the family can't come up with 2,000 riyals, but I am willing to replace it with other equivalent goods." I hope that Lord Shadillo will accept my proposal. ”

"This ......... All right. Shadillo hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.
