When it comes to business, Soji Tsugawa also gets serious. After carefully pondering Hirate Masahide's words, Tsugawa Soji said, "For you, it is natural to trade by land and sea, and even from the sea. ”

"However, this does not seem to be in the interests of the family." Soji Tsugawa said with a straight face, "If we trade with you by sea, our fleet will have to bypass the long coastline in the east. ”

"First, the journey is even farther, and secondly, my family has not signed a trade agreement with the forces along the way, and it is difficult to supply, so this matter is by no means easy!" Tsugawa Soji shook his head, the current meaning is that your Oda family wants empty gloves and white wolves, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, if you don't show some sincerity, I, Tsugawa Soji, is not wronged.

After listening to Tsugawa Soji's words, Oda Nobuhide and Hirate Masahide glanced at each other, and then Hirate Masahide replied, "This matter was also thought of by the family, so as compensation, the family is willing to exempt your fleet from commercial taxes, and will never trade with the forces hostile to the Tsugawa family in the future, I don't know what His Royal Highness Tsugawa wants?" ”

"Exemption from commercial tax is fundamental, and it needs not be emphasized. If it's just this little benefit, it's really hard to get by! "Soji Tsugawa is not easy to fool, the small abacus of the Oda family is banging, and this posture of hugging the thighs is too comfortable.

Exemption from business taxes sounds good, but it doesn't mean much to the Tsugawa family.

Wherever the Tsukawa family's goods are put in demand, they do not worry about sales at all, and there is no need to increase the competitiveness of the goods by exempting them from commercial taxes. In other words, the Tsugawa family simply doesn't look down on this little benefit that your Oda family throws away.

This time it's Oda Nobuhide's turn to have a sore egg.

Owari Province is rich, but Oda Nobuhide did not unify Owari Province, except for Tsushima Minato, a place with good income, other things Tsugawa family can not help but look at. In other words, with the current situation of the Oda family, there is nothing good to exchange for the Tsugawa family.

Therefore, at the beginning, Oda Nobuhide's plan was to play the emotional card with the Tsugawa family, so that the goal could be achieved at the lowest cost. And obviously, Soharu Tsugawa doesn't eat this set.

"So, I don't know what Tsukawaden proposes?"

This is to put the initiative in the hands of Tsugawa Soji, and when he heard this, Tsugawa Soji also thought about it seriously.

After a long time, Soji Tsugawa continued, "I have a good proposal here, and if Owari Mamoru can agree, it will be a win-win situation for both of you, but I don't know if Owari Mamoru is willing." ”

"Win-win? It's very much in line with my family! Oda Nobuhide nodded, "Please also ask Tsugawa Hall to speak up!" ”

"Can you use a map of Owari Province?" Soji Tsugawa raised his hand and said calmly.

As soon as the words fell, Lin Xiuzhen, who was sitting at the bottom, put a map with general information about Owari Province in the middle of Tsugawa Soji and Oda Nobuhide, "Tsugawa Hall, this is the Owari map." ”

"Hmm." Soji Tsugawa nodded, and then searched the map. After a while, Oda Nobunaga pointed to a place marked Kaisai-gun on the map and said, "Tsushima Minato is an important trading port in Owari Province and even Ise Bay, and if you and I reach an agreement, it will also be the end of trade in the future." ”

"Therefore, the family proposes to open up a Tsugawa-Oda Special Chiyuki Area near Tsushima Minato, which will be jointly managed by both parties.......

Hearing this, Oda Nobuhide couldn't help but ask, "What is the Special Chiyuki Zone?" ”

"The special Chiyuki area envisioned by the family is to make Tsushima Minato a territory that you and I will jointly administer in the future. Of course, the ownership of the territory is still owned by the Oda family, but the family has the right to govern! ”

"It means that this place will be separately classified and managed by the family."

In the future, the family's merchant ships will arrive in Tsushima Minato from Dewa, Mutsu, Ezo, etc., and the trade will also be managed by the family. And in return, the family is willing to share the three components of profits with the Oda family, I wonder what Owari Mamoru thinks? With that, Soji Tsugawa set his sights on Oda Nobuhide.

And Oda Nobuhide replied with a solemn expression, "In this way, wouldn't it be for the family to cut the land?" ”

"Not at all!" After all, the concept of the special Chiyuki district was still too advanced, and even Oda Nobuhide, the tiger of Owari, could not grasp the key to it, and thought that Soji Tsugawa wanted the Oda family to cede the territory near Tsushima Minato to the Tsugawa family.

"The territory to which Tsushima Minato belongs is still the domain of the Oda family, and the family is just managing it on their behalf. It's like the family borrowed a sword from Owari Mamoru here, although the sword is reused by the family, but after all, it belongs to Owari Mamoru, and the principal is willing to pay rent, so why not? ”

The Tsukawa family's previous trade agreements with Echigo Nagao, Notoyama, and Echizen Asakura allowed the Tsugawa family's fleet to reach the territory of the three families smoothly and make a grand profit. According to the preliminary statistics of Yoshino Yoshino, Ogasawara Yasunaga and others, the Tsugawa family earned at least tens of thousands of yuan from it in the last year alone.

And just the Nagao family and the other three are not enough to completely digest the goods of the Tsugawa family, and many of the goods that have been transported by the Sadillo fleet several times are still piled up in the warehouses of Minatojo.

Therefore, after Oda Nobuhide proposed to reach a trade agreement with the Tsugawa family, the first thing that came to Tsugawa's mind was this idea that he had been thinking about for a long time.

In fact, when he was in Kyoto, Soji Tsugawa put a lot of effort into Takeda Nobutoyo, the head of the Wakasa Takeda family, with this purpose in mind. It's just that the Oda family and the Takeda family have different national conditions.

For a weak chicken like the Takeda family, the Tsugawa family can naturally be completely dominant, but for the Oda family, it is only possible to negotiate slowly until both parties are satisfied.

After listening to Soji Tsugawa's explanation, Oda Nobuhide's face improved slightly, but he was still a little uncertain.

Seeing this, Soharu Tsugawa had no choice but to throw out another huge temptation, "If Owari Mamoru can facilitate this, the family estimates that the annual income from the trade itself alone is around 10,000 koku, and 30% of the income is about 3,000 koku, which belongs to the Oda family." ”

"Although it may not seem like much, it is a benefit of white gain, and it does not require the Oda family to pay anything. On the other hand, once the news came that the family's fleet would be trading in Tsushima, merchants from nearby Mino, Ise, Mikawa, and even further afield would flock to the area, and how much could the Oda family earn from these people? ”

"Moreover, if merchants gather in Tsushima Minato, what will happen to the Oda Yamato Moriya and Oda Ise Mori family, who also belong to Owari?"

Oda Nobuhide is not a stupid person, and he quickly grasped the key to it. Tsugawa Soji put a great opportunity to unify Owari in front of him, and all the Oda family needed to pay was to hand over Tsushima Minato to the Tsugawa family for temporary management, and according to Tsugawa Soji, the Oda family also had a fixed income of 3,000 per year.

Crucially, the Oda family could now gain power from merchants who gathered elsewhere. How much benefit can be obtained at that time depends on the ability of the Oda family itself.

For a while, Oda Nobuhide took his attention.
