Chapter 470: Forming a group to flicker
Before coming to see Shadillo, Soji Tsugawa had already gotten angry with Aubani in advance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This time, I have to get something good out of Sardillo, otherwise wouldn't the dignified traverser be in vain?
And Obani sold Sardillo in an instant for the church worth thousands of yuan that Tsugawa Soji Chennuo had. Poor Shadillo still doesn't know that today's banquet is actually a "Hongmen banquet".
"Sardillo, you know. I stayed in Tsugawa-sama's territory to preach, but you may not know much about the situation in Japan. Albani made a solemn look at this time, and said slowly to Shadillo, "There are thousands of lords large and small in Japan. And Tsukawa-sama is just equivalent to a baron, and there are many powerful lords around. ”
And many of the lords in Japan could not easily change their faith without the permission of their lords. Although I was able to preach smoothly in the territory of Tsugawa-sama, my goal was to spread the glory of the Lord throughout Japan. "So, Sardillo, I need your help now. ”
"And what do you need, Father?" Shadilo said with a frown.
Albani glanced at Soji Tsugawa, who had a calm face, and then said, "We need a lot of muskets. You know, you know, this country only values the bravery of the individual, not the equipment. As long as I have a large number of muskets, Tsugawa-sama will be able to defeat other nearby lords, so that my mission can be expanded. ”
"Many years ago, Marco Polo said that Japan is a country full of gold, and from what I have seen and heard during this time, it is true." "If Tsugawa-sama can become the largest lord in Japan, then you can monopolize trade here. When the time comes, your family will look at you differently. How about a small investment and a huge benefit? ”
After listening to Aubani's words, Sandillo fell into deep thought, and Tsugawa Soji secretly gave Aubani a thumbs up in his heart. Made, with the strength of this mouth cannon, it's really a pity to be a priest.
Truth be told, Albani's words did make Shadillo quite moved.
Shadillo's family was just an ordinary aristocrat in Portugal. Although he made a lot of money in the maritime trade, it belonged to the whole family, and all that Shadillo could control was seven or eight armed merchant ships.
Sardillo's father, the Count of Leuselly, had seven sons and two illegitimate sons, and sadly, Sardillo was one of those two illegitimate sons. Due to his embarrassing status, Shadillo did not have a high status in the family. So, Chardillo always wanted to prove himself in front of his father.
Although it is impossible to inherit the title in any case, Shadilo simply wants to expand his influence and power and occupy a place in the entire family in the future.
Obviously, Albani's words moved Sardilo, who wanted to open up the "virgin land" of Japan.
"Father Albany, I'll think about what you say. I can't make the decision on this matter alone, so I need to discuss it with my family. I can't afford the resources you need alone, but as long as the family agrees to your request, then I believe that neither muskets nor artillery will be a problem. Sandillo said with a firm expression.
"Hmm." Obani still knew a lot about the situation in Shadillo's house, and after listening to Shadillo's words, he nodded, showed an "OK" look at Soji Tsugawa, and then closed his mouth.
Next, it's about Soji Tsugawa.
"But, to be honest, I don't think it's very likely that the family will pass this requirement. Compared to Japan now, the main target of the family is still in the New World. ”
"Since the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus, thousands of explorers and aristocrats have visited it every year. There is no developed civilization there, and it is closer to the country, and the profits are much greater. ”
"If it's just the conditions that Father O'Bani just said, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass." Just as Soharu Tsugawa was about to say something, Shadilo continued.
Soji Tsugawa was also in a difficult situation at this time. I don't have anything I can get my hands on now, and now I can sit here and talk and laugh with Shadillo, all thanks to Aubani's connections. It seems that if you really don't get some dry goods, it's really hard to deal with the people behind Sadillo.
Soharu Tsugawa, who had made up his mind, decided to tell a thing that had been prepared for a long time.
"Lord Shadillo, it is well known that maritime trade takes long sea voyages. And with the long voyage comes a variety of diseases. Among them, rickets or scurvy can account for more than half of all deaths. At this time, Tsugawa Soji said to Sardillo with a sincere face, "I can't hide it, I know how to treat and prevent the occurrence of such diseases." I believe that as long as Lord Shadilo can master this method, it will also be of great help to Lord Shadillo in your maritime trade. ”
"What? Tsugawa-sama: Do you have a cure for rickets (people at this time mistakenly thought that scurvy was rickets, and it was not until the 19th century that the two diseases were separated)? Not only Sandillo, but even Albani, who was with the old god on the side, was also moved.
"Yes." Soji Tsugawa nodded affirmatively.
"Oh God, that's wonderful!" Shadillo was overwhelmed with emotion. Scurvy, like a machete around the neck, can take the life of a crew member at any moment.
At this time, it is extremely dangerous to be a seafarer, especially an ocean-going seafarer. Because it is easy to die from various diseases, and scurvy is definitely the most common disease. For centuries it was so popular among seafarers, explorers and armies, especially among long-distance seafarers, that the crew called scurvy "the fear of sailors" and "the god of the sea".
And now that Sardillo heard that Soji Tsugawa actually had a cure for scurvy, he was immediately excited.
"Tsugawa-sama, please tell me how to treat rickets." Shadilo asked eagerly.
Soji Tsugawa shook his head, "I don't think these diseases are rickets, but scurvy. However, I know that the method can indeed treat and prevent scurvy, but I forgive you for not being able to tell you about this method at this time. ”
"I vouch for the viability of this method in the name of the Tsugawa family, but at the same time, if Lord Shadilo wants to get this solution, he will need at least 1,000 muskets and 10 cannons in exchange. Of course, I'll pay for these weapons. Soji Tsugawa stared into Sardillo's eyes and said in a firm tone.
Being stared at by Soji Tsugawa, Sardillo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. After a long time, Shadillo gritted his teeth and said, "Okay." I will inform my family about this, and I will do my best to make it happen for Tsugawa-sama. If the scurvy you mentioned can really be cured, I believe that the family will not refuse this proposal. ”
"Every year, the pension paid to a crew member who dies alone is a significant expense. And if the family can master such a method, then in the country, the prestige of the family will increase day by day, and at this time, of course, they will not forget who sent this method to their father's desk. Thinking of this, Sardillo's gaze at Soji Tsugawa became more and more kind.
