62. Get a Japanese businessman as an agent
Mihara Koi said respectfully at that time: "Xie Taro Guoming, who wishes Wan Dashang and Wu Dashang to be the masters of my family......"
Interestingly, the Yalang did not explain in advance that the two of them were overseas merchants from Yindi Anguo, and it seemed that he thought that he was better off being Song merchants. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wan Shida and Wu Dapeng didn't break this at that time, and they were even more confident that they were the leaders of Song Shang.
The story of Kuniaki Tsetaro is well-known in the Hakata region of Japan.
How Xie Guoming spent his youth in the Great Song Dynasty could not be found by the six time and space smugglers.
But his business in Japan is doing well.
In the trade model at that time, the Southern Song Dynasty merchants such as Xie Guoming and others who traveled to and from the Song and Japanese countries often needed to pay annual tribute to the Japanese imperial court, shogunate, temples and other powerful people in order to obtain the benefits they wanted, and they were called "sensitive" at that time.
Xie Guoming himself maintained close ties with the Kamakura Imperial Family's Ancestral Statue Omiya Division and the pre-shodai Miura Tsunemura of the superior Shoguan Zongxiang Society, and obtained Koro Island, which belonged to the Ancestral Statue Society, and became the head of a small island.
Over time, Xie Guoming and other leaders gradually became the temples and powerful trade agents they relied on, and this form of trade can be called "power trade", and he was the one who gave people a platform at the front desk.
Xie Guoming has become familiar with this trade model through a long period of time, and has accumulated a huge wealth on this basis, and he has also modeled this model to find and support religious institutions close to him, so as to build his own trading empire.
In this way, through his own efforts, Xie Guoming became a leading figure among merchants, known as "Buntokou" and "Tsunawa" in Japan, and became a Japanese citizen under the name of "Xie Taro Kuniaki", settled near Kushida Shrine, known as "Hakata Chief Castle", and married a Japanese woman.
Karabo has already appeared in the Hakata area, and it is estimated that there are about 1,600 or so households, which is quite a lot.
In the oral tradition of Japanese folk, he also has an extraordinary affection for Xie Guoming.
It is said that one year in the Hakata area, a natural disaster occurred, and a large number of victims gathered in front of the Chengtian Temple, and a large number of Xie Guoming's goods were hoarded in the temple, and Xie Guoming did not hesitate to make noodles from the flour in the goods on Chinese New Year's Eve and give them to the vast number of disaster victims, so that they could enjoy the noodles brought from the Great Song Dynasty while living a Chinese New Year's Eve without starvation.
The next day, when several large Song cargo ships sailed into Hakata Port, the victims who had received Xie Guoming's favor excitedly shouted: "A thousand ships are coming, ten thousand ships are coming!" "Take this as a good omen for happiness.
There is even a legend that Xie Guoming introduced acupuncture culture, shipbuilding technology, Tang Gong (scissors) and steamed bun production technology to Japan, and was grateful to Dade, until that side of the world, there are festivals to worship him.
However, when Xie Guoming died, his wife became a nun, and his son did not know any traces, and Xiao Lu Dao was taken back.
This again shows that the powerful are unreliable.
Now, this Mihara Koi has appeared, and his main family is the Imperial Family?
It must have been a samurai in the Kamakura period who maintained a direct master-slave relationship with the shogun.
On the basis of this master-slave relationship, the general and the imperial family appointed the imperial family as the "guardian" or "head of the land", or gave the guarantee of the ability to secure the territory, so that the territory passed down by his father and ancestors became legitimate, or granted a new territory, or applied to the imperial court for an official position on his behalf.
In short, it's also a relatively large, high-grade head snake.
Wan Shida nodded and said softly: "I would like Mihara Koi to be our head ...... Mihara Gang."
Mihara Koi was overjoyed when he heard that he could make himself their business agent, and he toasted tea again and again.
He said: "The misunderstanding between my business bank and Liu Qian Xing, and I hope that the two big businessmen will resolve it more, this is really a fire at the city gate, and it will affect the pond fish......"
Mihara Koi is right, the Liu family had nothing to do with Japan's family feud and Hakata's Mihara family, it was a matter of Dazaifu, how could the Mihara family have the right to extract commercial taxes?
Besides, it was all a long time ago......
In the past, when the Song merchants arrived in Japan, they had to live in the Hongrokan at the beginning, and submit a bill of goods to Dazaifu, and then they decided to buy out a batch, and then the temple bought out another batch, and finally they could sell it to the private sector.
Therefore, Liu Qianxing's approach is a bit extreme.
Now, many of the manors along the Hakata coast bypassed Dazaifu and sent their own agents to run the Song-Japanese trade.
This Mihara Koi may be counted as one, and besides, how can a businessman fight with money?
"The head of the family is very fond of the treasures of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Japanese swords and bat fans produced by my family are also popular in the Great Song Dynasty, and I wish to be able to display them in the treasure shop of the Liu family, and I would like to be able to sell them to my family's treasures......"
Is he asking us to talk and talk about the relationship?
Wanshida immediately nodded in agreement, and Mihara Xiaojing was even more overjoyed, and immediately knelt down to thank him, and his movements were extremely skillful.
threatened to invite a group of people to dinner to Fengle Restaurant by the West Lake.
As for what Wan Shida said about employing peasants, the man repeatedly promised that one hundred young peasants would be hired for three years, and each of them would earn twenty yuan a year, but he would bear his own life and death......
Mihara Koi exclaimed in surprise, "Why so many? ”
Wan Shida said: "The work of clearing the wasteland may be a little harder. ”
Then Wan Shida saw Wu Dapeng's eyes and immediately understood.
Wanshida said, "I have some glow-in-the-dark gems here, and you can see what happens if they are distributed in Japan?" ”
Then he showed him how to glow in the night, and the man was speechless with excitement, Amaterasu, only the Great Song Dynasty has such a magical thing in this world!
Wan Shida said with a serious expression: "However, it is not allowed to be sold in the Great Song Dynasty...... Only Liu Qian can do this......"
The man quickly knelt down and prostrated again, saying, "Of course, of course ......."
In the end, it was agreed that in three months, he would bring everyone to Lin'an City and meet them at Jiahuimen.
As for the glow-in-the-dark gem, the day after tomorrow, he can go to the Ji family residence store to pick up the goods, and the specific details will be discussed.
Well, it's time to eat.
Mihara Koi happily went to prepare for the cruise, from here to Fengle Restaurant, it is more convenient to take the boat.
After Bao Wei saw that the Japanese merchant was gone, he said, "Master Wu's family, why should you sell such a treasure to the Japanese people?" It's better to stay in the Great Song ......"
Wu Dapeng said with a smile: "There is a problem of market capacity here, how to keep your goods at a high price?" ”
"Rare is expensive!"
"But you still want to sell faster?"
"Of course, it's going to be sold to a lot of people......"
"That's right, that's to have the spirit of a big market. market, you don't care where it is. In the eyes of a qualified businessman, there are no borders......"
Bowie nodded.
Everyone got on the boat that Mihara Koi had prepared.
This is a typical river cruise, with three boatmen who have a rower and a prop boat.
In the accustomed river breeze, the boat sailed leisurely towards the West Lake.
Everyone looked at the high and low two- and three-story buildings on the shore, and couldn't help but sigh.
In the cities before the Song Dynasty, there were not no high-rise buildings, but they were all palaces, and the buildings were for the citizens to drink and have fun, and the tall and large buildings dedicated to making profits were unimaginable.
It was only in the Song Dynasty that restaurants, as a symbol of urban prosperity, sprung up.
In the Northern Song Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty, the best restaurant was the Bailu Building.
Because it is built in a dense residential area, it is developed into the air, and its structure is on the third floor, but the height is opposite the fifth floor.
The overall height is undulating, jagged and staggered, between the floors and floors, each with a flying bridge railing, light and dark communication, the west building is so high that you can see the palace down.
At that time, the Song Imperial Palace in Tokyo was famous for its height, but the alum tower was taller than it, and this height was really terrifying!
The alum building was named after the merchants who sold alum here, and then changed to Fengle Building, and has continued since then.
When they arrived in Lin'an of the Southern Song Dynasty, people built a new magnificent Hongte on the bank of the West Lake, Gao Che Yunhan, the Fengle Building that can extend the wind and moon on the upper and lower can isolate the hustle and bustle, and people simply regard it as a sign of the prosperity of the Southern Song Dynasty.
So eating here was the first pleasure, and both Nayalang and Bao Wei couldn't help but smile.
Everyone finally arrived at Fengle Building on the edge of the West Lake, and everyone waited for the boatman to set up a springboard.
Wu Dapeng and others saw the colorful building Huanmen tied to the head of the Fengle Building, like a work of art for people to watch.
The black and red branches on both sides of the door are made of vermilion and black wooden strips interwoven to block people, and in this era, it would be too shameless for a famous restaurant to have it.
There were two men standing in front of the door, they were wearing square-top-like headscarves, purple shirts, silk shoes and socks under their feet, and they were polite to the guests.
As soon as everyone entered, they saw a junior two coming up and courteously, and everyone went straight up to the third floor to take a seat.
After sitting down in turn, the little two quickly put hundreds of dishes in his mouth, and he even sold them and even sold them, this guy was suspected of being a showman.
Mihara Koi was very polite to let Wan Shida and the others order, but where did they remember the names of those dishes?
Wan Shida said: "Hugh is noisy, pick up seven or eight good dishes and serve them......"
What about wine?
Only in this Lin'an city can they drink high alcohol; In Lin'an County, it will not work.
There is no way, in this time and space, wine is monopolized, and the Great Song Dynasty can sell it.
The cupmering of the Southern Song Dynasty was diverse, and the monopoly of liquor was still the main form of the city.
In order to effectively control the liquor tax, the government adopted the method of calculating the liquor tax from the use of rice to make wine.
People bring their own rice to the government to make wine, but they must pay a brewing fee and a head money.
In this way, the government does not need to purchase raw materials, nor does it have to bear the sales of wine, but only needs to come forward to manage it, and it will collect wine profits.
It is a good way for the brewery to be in a place designated by the government, which is convenient for centralized management. The government collects a tax on liquor based on the rice used, which also prevents tax evasion.
Liquor is monopolized, which is mainly reflected in the establishment and operation of wine warehouses.
The liquor storehouse, which is a market for brewing and wholesale liquor under the control of the government, is one of the main sources of the government's liquor class.
There was no high-grade liquor in the wine cellar in Lin'an City, which forced Song Ziqiang to do distillation by himself at that time.
In order to promote the sales of liquor, the imperial court of the Great Song Dynasty once organized its liquor warehouse to carry out a huge wine evaluation and publicity and promotional activities. This kind of event is similar to the sugar and wine conference held in that world.
Wanshida smiled and said, "You can have good wine here?" ”
The little two said: "Yes, my own steamed Fenghe Spring!" ”
"How many steam?"
"Second steam!"
"Come up five pounds first!"
The little two nodded in response, and then first served a few dishes to see the dishes, all of which were dried fruits and marinades.
As we all know, distilled liquor is a kind of soju with a high degree of alcohol, and the Southern Song Dynasty's "Collection of Records of Clearing Grievances" has a record of disinfection with strong liquor containing strong alcohol, which is different from the red soju that can emit an amber fragrance as described in Tang poems.
After the famous hotel bought it from the sprinkler, it was re-distilled itself in order to attract customers.
It seems that this time I was finally able to drink high alcohol.
