9, Tadabei "pie"

“…… A few days ago, I went to Mukatian Town to sell grain, but I couldn't even sell 70% of the market price! In the end, it can only be sold at 60% of the price. (Sell grain in the Lake Biwa area, where grain is produced?) My opinion of him has plummeted. The lord was very dissatisfied with this, and lost his temper! Kinoshita Toyoshiro drank the wine from his cup in great distress and let out a long sigh. Ay~! But I can't open my own shop to sell food! Now I still have a large number of them in my hands and I don't know what to do! ”

"Oops! I can relate to seeing you so embarrassed. Well! …… So be it! Our Wooden Bird House will receive your grain at 70% of the market price! Not only do you save time, but you also don't have to travel all the way. Do you think that's okay? "I threw out the first fragrant "pie" in a righteous way.

"Really?! You've done me a great favor! I'm going to make a toast to you! You can't excuse yourself! Kinoshita Tojiro excitedly poured a glass full of wine and handed it to me.

"Don't you often go to buy war horses? I've heard that that's an impressive achievement! It will also draw the attention of His Highness Nobunaga to your talents. I put down my glass and continued to "seduce" with concern.

"Everyone knows that! But you may not know that the road to Hokuriku is not easy. And ......" Kinoshita Tojiro frowned and shook his head. "War horses are expensive everywhere, especially the best ones. If the price is too high, you will be reprimanded, and then the gain outweighs the loss! ”

"I still have some business ties in Dewa, and I don't mind a trip......"

"Then I must ask you!" Kinoshita Tojiro jumped up and swallowed the second "pie" in one gulp, and the address to me changed from "you" to "you". "It's just that you probably don't know much about the quality of horses, and if you buy some ......," it seems that he is still worried about the quality of the "pie".

"Kinoshita-sama! Do you think I'm a bad friend to me? That's good,......" I inadvertently positioned my relationship with him as a "friend", and at the same time threw the biggest "pie" at Kinoshita Tojiro. "After I buy the horses, you will personally identify them, and all the horses that are eliminated will be handled by our wooden bird house. Do you have any questions? ”

"You are really the lucky star of my life!" He smiled "stupidly", as if he couldn't find the north anymore.

"But ......" Seeing Kinoshita Toyoshiro dancing, I felt it was time to close the line. It takes a lot of money to buy a war horse, but it's not good for the wooden bird house to collect your money in advance......"

"That's right! ......" he sat back down, disappointed. “…… That's a real problem! ”

"Of course! We will pay all the money immediately! There's no need to worry at all! "Seeing that he is not on the road, I think I should "enlighten" him again.

"That's right!" Kinoshita Tojiro jumped up again (it seems that he wasn't too stupid yet). "I'm going to apply for the quest to buy a war horse right now! Do both at the same time. All you have to do is pay me a part of the deposit! Well! …… It's all about 10% of the food! What do you think? ”

"Do it...... Won't it bother you? I was very concerned.

"Don't worry! Rest assured! Anyway, it usually takes a lot of time to sell grain, so what's the point of using it? It seems that this excited "monkey" is still intoxicated with his own "wisdom".

"Then I thank you for your attention!" I poured him another glass of wine. (Get a large interest-free loan)

"Meaningless! Mere trifle! If you have any difficulties, just say! Fujiyoshiro felt like he was a "big man".

"Yes...... Yes, one more point! The export of large quantities of grain and the entry of war horses will certainly attract attention. If something goes wrong with the level, then ...... I'm so sorry for you! I was a little worried.

"Ahh I'm sorry! It's a little bit of a thought out. He said with some humility. I will apply for a 'Certificate' for you as soon as possible, certifying that the grain and horses are for military use and that the Wooden Bird House is a 'feudal merchant'. With it, you won't have any trouble at our and your allies' levels, and your food and horses are tax-free! ”

"You've thought so thoroughly, you're really a genius at ruling the world!" I did not hesitate to present the "high hat". (Tax-free pass)

“……”

“……”

When Kinoshita Tojiro left, it was already full of stars and moons. As I watched his faltering back fade away, a sly smile slowly rose to the corner of my mouth. "Is this really the man who will rule the world and be proud of the princes?" I couldn't help but ask myself this in my mind.

Let me illustrate my thoughts: First of all, I don't really plan to go out of the feather. It's so far away, and leaving Xianzhi for a long time will break my heart! So where am I going? Shinano. Right! It's Shinano Country! From here, you will arrive at a corner of Minokoku. There, due to the battles of Takeda Shingen, Suwa Yorishige, Ogasawara Nagasaki, Murakami Yoshikiyo and others, a large area of land has been barren, and although it is now calm, there is still a shortage of food. But not many people go there to sell food, because it's very poor! Very poor! People simply can't pay. What's there? Right! Horse! Shinano produced horses, although not as good as those in the Hokuriku countries, and there were no large-scale towns, but horses were produced there. There were also people who went there to buy horses, but they were not very successful. Buying only good war horses must be very expensive, especially in the face of poverty Shinano wealthy families. My practice is to buy in large quantities, both good and bad. For me, who has the opportunity to deal with a large number of "stocks" and pay for food, those guys will not give me a discount of more than 30%, I will follow your surname! When I bring the horse back, I will sell the good horse for 20% (I didn't want to make too much money on this money) to Kinoshita Toyoshiro, the Oda family, and it will be much cheaper than others. In the end, the key is that I will be responsible for weeding out the "bad horses" who are full of "integrity" and push these tax-free "military-to-civilian" products to the vast agricultural areas of western Owari and Omi. The best part is that the investment in the wooden bird house is only a negligible deposit!

"Huge profits! Definitely a huge profit! It seems that the Japanese still lack understanding of the benefits of 'reselling approvals', 'sewing', and 'borrowing chickens to lay eggs'! "I couldn't help but feel smug.
