Nakono Town, the residence of Fernand Dias. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although she couldn't figure out what Fernande Diaz was talking about, she didn't think about it, but asked about something else.

"Fernand, have you read the plan for the Merchant House? What do you think? Lilou Argot asked, expectantly. This plan was written by her during this time, combining her previous business experience with her investigation in. It can be said that this plan is the crystallization of her business since she started. With such a heartfelt plan, it is natural to share it with your best companions. It's just that......

"Huh? Huh? Hearing this, Fernand Dias scratched his head with a strange expression, "Ahem...... That one...... Lilu, you're the president, you think it's good......" Fernand Diaz finished speaking, and suddenly walked to Emilio Filon's side, "Emilio, you kid can't walk if you eat anymore, go!" Come out with me! ”

With that, Fernand Diaz grabbed Emilio Filon and ran away before Lilu Argot could react.

After half a ring, a terrifying voice erupted from Fernande Dias's mansion, "Fernande Dias!! ”

At this sound, Fernand Dias was stunned and then ran faster.

"Fernand, you're making Lilu angry again." Emilio Filon said as he nibbled on a chicken leg, but his tone didn't sound like a joke or a reproach, but rather a statement. How so? It felt like it had nothing to do with him.

"Cut, you're still worried about your weight!" Fernand Diaz gave Emilio Filon a blank look and said angrily.

"Humph! I'm this plump! Got it? Emilio Filon snorted and continued to destroy the abominable drumsticks.

"Alas, you kid, sometimes I really envy you for being so open-minded." Fernand Díaz looked at Emilio Filón's indifferent expression and said with some envy.

"Hehe~" Hearing this, Emilio Filon suddenly showed a shy expression.

Shaking his head, Fernand Diaz turned his head to look ahead. Under the governance of Li Huamei and Tsuru, although the development of Nakono Town is not rapid, it is becoming more and more prosperous.

"How long can this comfort last?" Fernand Dias thought to himself. Although he had already experienced many cruel situations from Europa to here, what he saw in still made him feel terrified. In troubled times, people who have not experienced it will never be able to imagine that kind of hellish scene.

"Lilu still continues to struggle in business, it seems that she is ready to accumulate strength to seek revenge on Kuhn, and by the way, ...... to that person"

"What about me? Do you continue to find your motivation in trading, or do you do something else? Fernand Diaz was a little confused.

He was passionate about trading something new like gambling, and although there were reasons for being like-minded with that person, it was enthusiasm that was the reason why he finally joined the Argotic Chamber of Commerce.

Now, after that incident, Fernand Diaz feels that his passion for trading has begun to wane, and his passion for something else is slowly burning in him. It is a thing of blood and fire, and the winner gets everything, and the loser loses even his life. This kind of thing, it's called war.

Fernand Diaz grew up in casinos, and for him, gambling was everything to him. Once lost, his life will lose all color. And war is also a kind of gambling, but the bargaining chip of this gambling is one's own life. This kind of gambling obviously intrigued him.

"But...... It's still too early, and what we see now is believed to be just the tip of the iceberg of troubled times. I believe that in some time, the Oda family will also act, right? We'll see when the time comes. Well...... Do I have to learn how to be a samurai too? Fernand Diaz pondered.

On the side, Emilio Filon, who had eliminated the last leg of the chicken, looked at Fernand Diaz standing still in confusion, his small eyes rolling, not knowing what he was thinking.

Nakono Castle.

Lilu Argot sat nervously across from Yoshinobu Oda and watched him flip through the plans he had written. On the side, Ning Ning's expression was also very nervous, because there were a few points in the plan that she put forward.

I don't know why, when she heard that Ah Shi and the other women were all pregnant, Ning Ning felt a pain inexplicably in her heart, could it be because of all the women who had a relationship with Oda Yoshinobu, only she was not pregnant?

Well, Ning Ning really didn't know why, but she knew that she really wanted to be praised by Oda Yoshinobu. She hopes that Oda Yoshinobu can have more of her own shadow in her eyes. Although she knew that she could not possess Oda Yoshinobu, she would be satisfied if she could spend more time with him.

That's why she took the initiative to ask Ying to learn business from Lilu Argot, because in her cognition, although Oda Yoshinobu didn't seem to care about money, he liked money very much. And if she can help him earn a lot of money, then she will not be just a little maid in Oda Yoshinobu's heart.

"Just like Lady Huamei and Tsuru-sama!" In Ning Ning's heart, something called ambition flickered.

Oda Yoshinobu didn't know how nervous the two women in front of him were, and his attention was all focused on the plan. Yes, just like Ning Ning's guess, he attaches great importance to this matter, on the one hand, he likes money, and on the other hand, he is really short of money.

Although it seems that Oda Yoshinobu's territory is developing well at the moment, Oda Yoshinobu is well aware that his development has reached a bottleneck at present. The annual income is all slowly arranged, and there is no extra money to use for other things.

Well, there's a lot of money in it for all sorts of luxuries, but want Oda Yoshinobu to be as frugal as Matsudaira Motoyasu? Obviously something completely impossible. It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, not to mention that in Oda Yoshinobu's view, this is not a big problem.

Of course, at last year's annual meeting, Oda Nobunaga gave him an extra 1,000 stone of territory, but unfortunately Oda Yoshinobu went to see it, and there was no room for development at all. I don't know if Oda Nobunaga knew how lazy Oda Yoshinobu was, and directly gave him a territory where the development was basically completed.

However, these 1,000 stone Oda Yoshinobu is not going to do anything with it for the time being, because if you want to form a force, 1,000 stone Shinshin can't do anything. After all, Oda Yoshinobu had already made a plan to form only pure elite troops before becoming the lord of the country.

And the formation of elite troops requires a large amount of money, just like the Takeda family's Red Reserve Army, which is supported by a mountain of gold. Therefore, Oda Yoshinobu said that he was quite concerned about this business plan.

After half a ring, Oda Yoshinobu put down the plan, looked at the nervous two girls and smiled, "Yes, it's well written." I can't imagine that Lilu, you've only been in your home country for more than 2 months. ”

"Really?" Lilu Argot breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and the mood she had been carrying was finally put down.

"However, there are still some areas that need to be revised." Oda Yoshinobu said casually, "For example, I would like to be able to place the location in Tsushima instead of Kaimachi." Kaimachi is very prosperous, but it is not in our sphere of influence. Also, I would like Tsushima to be more prosperous. ”

"Well, that's fine." Lilu Argot nodded. The reason why it was built in Kaimachi is that Kaimachi is the largest maritime trading port in Japan, and many foreign merchants come here to do business. In Lilu Argot's view, doing business abroad is much more profitable than doing business at home.

"Lilu, I hope to attract more foreigners to Tsushima instead of Kaimachi, after all, my family's sphere of influence is still here in a short period of time. Moreover, I hope that you will be able to gain experience in building foreign business circles. Oda Yoshinobu said solemnly.

Kaimachi, after all, will not belong to him, even if the Oda family captures, Oda Yoshinobu's fief cannot be within. According to Oda Yoshinobu's idea of Oda Nobunaga's layout in history, it is likely that his fiefdom was in Echizen or Harima. After all, as the number one general of the Oda family, Oda Nobunaga would definitely not be able to keep himself to help the turtle fight the tiger, or to deal with the bats of Shikoku. Then the Mori family in the western country and the Uesugi family in Hokuriku will be his future enemies.

In this way, if the merchant hall is placed in Kaimachi, it is really too wasteful, and it is not in line with Oda Yoshinobu's future plans.

After a pause, Oda Yoshinobu said again, "In addition, I would like you to get as much as possible how to build ocean-going ships, whether they are merchant ships or military ships......

"Yes!" Lilu Argot's eyes shrank, and she immediately guessed what Oda Yoshinobu meant, and hurriedly answered solemnly. Well, her plan only touched on the commercial part, but for Oda Yoshinobu, military use was the ultimate goal.

"Well, on the other side of the product, you can add wine." Oda Yoshinobu chuckled and gave Ning Ning a look. Ning Ning understood, and hurriedly ordered someone to bring a bottle of wine.

"Huh? Wine here too? Lilu Argot said excitedly, she doesn't like to drink much, but she feels very familiar with this kind of wine that is very popular in her hometown.

"It was invented by the owner~ because we have a lot of grapes here, so the owner tried to make wine with them." Ning Ning explained very cooperatively.

Naturally, Lilou Argot was a big fan of this, and after tasting the taste, she immediately decided to add the wine to the shelves.

"Also, I want you to find a chance to develop these things." As he spoke, Oda Yoshinobu took out a piece of paper and scribbled at random. Well, his painting skills cannot be complimented, but thanks to his explanation, the two girls still understand the meaning of painting things. In an instant, the faces of the two women turned crimson.

"Pervert ......" Lilu Argot muttered to herself, but her eyes couldn't get out of the drawing. Although Yoshinobu Oda painted very badly, thanks to his explanations, she quickly learned the value of these things.

But Ning Ning was obviously a little unacceptable, and asked cautiously with a red face, "Master, are these stockings, high heels and other things really valuable?" There were some things she didn't say because bras, panties, etc., seemed to her too much.

"Hee-hee, of course it's useful, don't you think these can increase femininity, and also enhance the interest of certain things?" Oda Yoshinobu laughed, not feeling embarrassed in the slightest.

On the side, Lilu Argot endured her shyness, constantly thinking about the value of these things, and after a long time, she settled down and said, "My lord, I really like these goods, if they are not very expensive, I believe there will be a good market." ”

Lilu Argot's words made Oda Yoshinobu very proud, but this pride did not last long, and Lilu Argot poured another basin of cold water on her. "However, these are troubled times after all, and many people's food and clothing are problems, and it is unlikely that they will buy these flashy things. And if it is positioned as a luxury product, setting the price is one thing, and the sales volume is definitely not high......"

"That's right......" Oda Yoshinobu muttered a little embarrassed, and to be honest, he didn't think much of it himself when he came up with these things, but just wanted to spice them up. Well...... for himself. But since Lilou Argot had raised the issue, he had to find a way to solve it.

After thinking for a while, Oda Yoshinobu glanced at Lilu Argot, and suddenly had an idea, "In this way, we position these things as high-priced luxury goods, and the sales crowd is more aimed at foreign countries, such as those high-ranking officials and royal families." ”

Hearing this, Lilu Argot nodded, she also thought of this just now, compared to the war in Japan, other countries are still relatively peaceful now, and there are more rich people.

When the plan was decided, Lilu Argot immediately began to prepare, with Oda Yoshinobu's funds, and the location was in Tsushima, the territory of the Oda family, which made Lilu Argot's preparation very easy. The only thing that was more troublesome was the few things that Oda Yoshinobu brought up. Because it is a purely handmade product, and Oda Yoshinobu only gave a few style drawings, the development progress of the thing is not very ideal. After all, these things are meant to be worn, and if they are uncomfortable, they are definitely not qualified.

However, this did not prevent the opening time of the Argot Merchant House.

In February, with the support of many merchants of Tsushima and many retainers of the Oda family, the Agotic Merchant House opened. For them, this is just selling Oda Yoshinobu a face, and they can't imagine how terrifying this small merchant house will become in the future.
