Chapter 181: The Dream of Far Trade

In Tsushima Town, Oda Yoshinobu hugged Li Huamei and Tsuru left and right, and behind him were Maeda Keiji, Shiraki Yukihisa and others lined up, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be a scene of evil traveling. Pen fun Pavilion www.biquge.info well, if you ignore the Kichi-...... who fell around Oda Yoshinobu and pestered him from time to time to be coquettish and urged

"Ji, can't you follow us obediently? It's not like you haven't been here before. Oda Yoshinobu looked at Yoshishi helplessly and sighed.

"Hee-hee~ Because Ji hasn't been on a boat yet~ I haven't even been to the beach yet!" Ji said happily, obviously very excited about waiting to go to sea.

"Tut, it's really pitiful~ But you have to be obedient when you get on the boat~" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Yoshishi helplessly and said.

"Don't worry, uncle, Yoshiko is the most well-behaved~" Yoshiro said with a smile, and by the way, he gave Oda Yoshinobu a big grimace.

"This girl ......," Oda Yoshinobu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"It's very cute~ Hehe~ I believe it will definitely be a big beauty in the future~ I don't know which big pervert will be cheaper when the time comes?" Li Huamei said with a smile, but this is just a ...... Well, Yoshinobu Oda said that he didn't hear it at all.

After a while, the group came to the port of Tsushima Town, "My lord, that is our ship, the Agote!" Lilu Argot, who was behind her, walked up slowly, pointed to a ship docked in the harbor and said in a proud tone.

"Oh? Is it our ship? Hey, it really looks completely different from the previous ships~" Oda Yoshinobu immediately became interested when he heard this, "How much does it cost?" What about combat capabilities? Is it also possible to mass-produce? ”

Well, this is indeed the thought that came to Oda Yoshinobu immediately after seeing this ship, although it may sound like a cheat, but this is a manifestation of this kid's maturity. Prioritizing the use of war in any matter is the most important idea of a samurai in troubled times.

"The price is okay, but in terms of performance, you have to ask Sister Tsuru~ This was built with her help~" Lilu Argot pouted, obviously dissatisfied with Oda Yoshinobu's lack of interest in the ship itself. You must know that on the day the ship was built, she slept directly on the ship.

Amusedly watched Lilu Argot play a little tantrum, but Oda Yoshinobu was even more surprised by her words, "Oh? Crane, you actually built this ship? ”

"The subordinates are just helping to pay attention...... Tsuru whispered, and then explained to Oda Yoshinobu.

According to Lilu, this kind of ship should be one of the mainstream ships on the continent of Europa. It is 25 meters long and can carry about 1,000 stones. The advantage is that the draft is shallow, and it can be navigated near the sea or in large rivers, and it is very fast. However, according to your suggestion, in order to be able to go to sea, my subordinates changed the two-masted to a three-masted one, and used a mixture of sails and spinnakers......"

"Because it's sail-driven, we don't need too many seafarers, and it's meant to be for trade, so it's not very good at fighting. But if it is improved, it will be enough to compare the Ataku ships in her own country......" Tsuru said at the end, the whole person was a little excited, perhaps for a person like her who was born to deal with the sea and ships, the affection for ships is not at all comparable to ordinary people.

Well, Oda Yoshinobu didn't understand most of what Tsuru said, but he also understood what Tsuru's words were saying. "If that's the case, in case you encounter pirates......" Oda Yoshinobu asked with some concern.

"Please rest assured that what the subordinates said has no combat capability, just said that in a large-scale naval battle. Usually there is no problem with one or two ships of small pirates, and those sailors are generally affiliated with a certain daimyo, and they will not shoot at will when they see the flag of their own family. Tsuru explained in a low voice.

"Hmm...... But you can't rely on others, after all, the future is not easy to say. Oda Yoshinobu groaned, "And how much does this ship cost?" ”

"About 8,000 ......"

“…… So expensive? Then you ......" Oda Yoshinobu looked at the crane strangely, although the latter words were not spoken, anyone could guess it. After all, since the ships were so expensive, how could the Argotic Chamber of Commerce have the money to build them?

Seeing Oda Yoshinobu's puzzled expression, Tsuru suddenly said with a smile, "Lord, what my subordinates said is only the cost, it is the price that is completely entrusted to others to manufacture, if we make it ourselves, it will definitely be much cheaper~ After all, we cut all those woods ourselves......"

"Uh......" Oda Yoshinobu scratched his head, and finally decided to ask more bluntly, "Then how long will it take us to build another one?" ”

"At the current rate, I'm afraid it will take another 2 years, after all, a lot of the funds for the construction of this ship rely on the money you get from Your Highness and the Three Rivers......," Tsuru said in a low voice.

"Well, that's all there is to it." Oda Yoshinobu shook his head helplessly, obviously disappointed by this. But he also knew that it was basically impossible to get money from other places to build ships. Moreover, in order to build ships, Lilu's Argoth Chamber of Commerce almost did not contribute a copper plate to Oda Yoshinobu. This is obviously not in line with the original setting, even if Oda Yoshinobu doesn't care, others will have doubts and even dissatisfaction with it. After all, no one likes to throw money into a bottomless pit.

Ascending to the deck and looking at the vast sea ahead, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly felt a burst of happiness inexplicably, and he didn't know who said a word involuntarily by him, "What can stop a man from running to the sea?" ”

"Lord, with your identity, it is impossible to run to the sea in this life~" Li Huamei's fluttering words made the blood boiling in Oda Yoshinobu's fantasy instantly cooled down.

Turning around and looking at Li Huamei with resentment, "Huamei, I'm just talking about it~ You don't need to hit me like this~" Oda Yoshinobu complained depressedly.

"Hehe, my subordinates are not worried that if the lord really rushes to the sea on a whim, our family will have to accept the thunderous anger of His Highness~" Li Huamei smiled coquettishly.

"Cut, how could I be so bored." Oda Yoshinobu said dissatisfiedly, and then directly changed the topic, otherwise he didn't know what Li Huamei would say to hit him.

The boat slowly sailed out of Tsushima Town, and rode all the way to Kai Town. Although Oda Yoshinobu was very arrogant, he didn't have the brains to cross Mino and go directly to the Asai family's territory. And the sea route is obviously much faster, at least 2 or 3 days less than the land route.

As soon as he got on the ship, Yoshishi threw out his mind the assurances he had given to Oda Yoshinobu before boarding, and he ran around the ship like crazy and yelled, which was very interesting for Yoshi, who had never seen a sea out of sea. It's just this appearance, where is there a little bit of the appearance of the eldest lady of the Oda family? If Nohime or Oda City and other women see it, I'm afraid Oda Yoshinobu will die a miserable death, right? Fortunately, there are only Li Huamei and Crane here, and their education of girls is obviously not limited to the ladies.

"Fang Maru, don't stand stupidly here, let's go play together~ Little ghost head, you have to look like a little ghost head~" Oda Yoshinobu patted Fang Maru's shoulder and smiled. He had long seen Fang Maru looking at Ji Na with an envious expression, for Fang Maru, although he was the son of Oda Nobuyuki, Oda Yoshinobu was very, very fond of him.

How so? Fang Maru is very obedient, understands etiquette, is knowledgeable, and practices martial arts diligently, and I don't know if the genes of the Oda family are so domineering, and the cute face of Zhengtai is really not too cute. So all along, Oda Yoshinobu has treated Fang Maru as his own son, although this kid only found that his love for Fang Ma was similar to father's love after he had a child.

“…… Be. Hearing this, Fang Maru hesitated, but in the end he still didn't resist the temptation in front of him.

"What a strong child~" Li Huamei's voice came from behind Oda Yoshinobu.

"yes." Oda Yoshinobu sighed. Oda Yoshinobu knows very well what kind of life Fang Maru has lived since he was a child, in addition to studying, he is still studying. This was not imposed on him by Oda Yoshinobu, nor was it requested by his teacher Shimasako and others, but a decision he made himself. Because he knew very well that he was not only a member of the Oda family, but also took on the responsibility of atoning for his father's sins.

Looking at Fang Maru, who was playing excitedly behind Yoshi's ass although he was a little restrained over there, Oda Yoshinobu asked a little confused, "Hua Mei, do you think I shouldn't tell Fang Maru about Nobuyuki?" If he hadn't said it, he might still be able to live happily by now. ”

"My lord, the affairs of Lord Nobuyuki are well known in Owari, and who can hide them forever? Although his life is a bit difficult now, as long as he persists, his future will surely shine. Come to think of it, Lord Nobuyuki will feel very relieved to have a spirit in the sky~" Li Huamei said softly.

"Alas......"

"Okay, my lord, Sister Lilu is looking for you, let's go quickly~" Seeing this, Li Huamei pushed Oda Yoshinobu funny and said.

"Well, then you look at these two little ghosts, don't let them fall." Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu turned his head and smiled.

"Phew! What nonsense! Li Huamei glared at Oda Yoshinobu and said angrily.

"Haha~"

Arriving at Lilu Argot's room in the cabin, Oda Yoshinobu pushed the door in without the slightest hesitation, "Hey, what are you studying?" Oda Yoshinobu asked with a disappointed expression.

"What? Are you disappointed that your subordinates are not changing clothes? Lilu Argot sarcastically sneered. In other words, since being seen by Yoshinobu Oda during a previous change of clothes, Lilu Argot has become more careful when changing clothes.

"Yes~ I thought I could see a beautiful scenery~ Of course, the current scenery is not bad~" Oda Yoshinobu said with a cheap smile, compared to his face, he said that he was the second thickest, and who would dare to call it the first?

Hearing this, Lilu Argot's pretty face suddenly turned crimson, and since the previous feeling of electric shock, Lilu Argot lost her normal heart in the face of Oda Yoshinobu. Almost casually laughed at him, and his face turned red. "It's going to be nonsense! The subordinates have important things to explain when they are looking for the lord! Lilu Argot calmed down and said angrily.

"Oh? What's going on? Yoshinobu Oda asked casually, sat down in front of Lilu Argot, and then picked up the beer on the table and poured it for the two of them.

"It's about the issue of trade with Ming that I mentioned earlier." Lilu Argot drank the wine in her glass in one gulp, looked at Oda Yoshinobu and said softly.

"Oh? Tell me about it? When Oda Yoshinobu heard this, he immediately asked with a curious expression.

Lilu Argot looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a crimson face, looking at him curiously, and at the same time holding his little hand shamelessly and stroking it. After two consecutive draws and no pulls out, Lilu Argot simply pretended not to see it, and said directly.

"My lord, according to the inquiries of my subordinates in the boundary town, at this time, the Ming Kingdom has been banned from the sea for a long time, and if you want to trade with it, you must have the Exploration Zhu Seal."

"Surveying the vermilion seal?" Oda Yoshinobu was stunned when he heard this, but unfortunately, when Lilu Argot wanted to take the opportunity to withdraw his hand, Oda Yoshinobu reacted quickly, grabbed it again and kept touching it.

"Lord!" Lilu Argot said angrily, but for some reason, as soon as the words came out, they turned into a coquettish tone.

"Hee-hee, you said you said~ I'll listen~" Oda Yoshinobu said with a smile.

Seeing this, Lilu Argot hesitated for a moment, and finally let Oda Yoshinobu pull her, and she began to explain.

Hawkers, to put it simply, the so-called Exploration Zhu Yinzhi is a trade license, and only with this thing can you trade with the Ming Kingdom.

"Well, my brother also mentioned that if you want to trade with Mingguo, you must get permission." Oda Yoshinobu nodded in response.

"Yes, after the Ming Dynasty imposed a ban on the sea, this kind of vermilion seal was issued as a license certificate for trade. According to the information investigated, at present, these vermilion seals are all in the hands of other daimyos, and it is impossible to get them. And without this kind of certificate, even with the permission of the imperial court, I am afraid that it will not be possible to trade with the Ming Kingdom. Lilu Argotte said in the end, her expression was very helpless.

Although Lilu Argot had never traded with the Ming Kingdom, from the mouths of the other merchants on the Europa Continent, she could easily understand how terrifying the profits would be if she could trade with the Ming Kingdom. But right now, it's not just the problem of the pirates, but even the need to get a permit.

"That's ......" Oda Yoshinobu pondered for a moment, then patted Lilu Argot's little hand and smiled, "Don't worry, leave it to me to solve it~"
