"Is this the castle of your country? It's really quite distinctive~"

When Oda Yoshinobu brought Lilu Argot and the others to Nakono Castle, she looked at the Kono Castle in front of her and admired softly. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info she is not perfunctory, although in the Europa continent, there are many imposing castles, but on the entire Europa continent, it is not much. Most of the lords live in places that are not much better than here. After all, not every country is as rich as Huaxia, and all kinds of cities are built everywhere.

As the group entered Nakono Castle, Keiji Maeda and the others went to rest elsewhere, while Lilu Argot continued to follow Oda Yoshinobu with Fernande Diaz and Emilio Filon. Oda Yoshinobu did not object to this, because he knew that for Lilu Argot, the difference between these two men and those other ordinary sailors.

Entering Oda Yoshinobu's mansion, Aichi and the other women had already woken up, and when they saw the three southern barbarians brought by Oda Yoshinobu, they immediately prepared to go back to the room for temporary shelter.

"Huamei, Crane, you two come over together." Yoshinobu Oda stopped the two women.

"Yes!"

When they came to the reception room, they sat down on both sides. In the middle, Duo Choji and Ning Ning made tea for the people on both sides.

"Officially introduced, below is the elder of the Oda family of Owari Province, the lord of Nakono Castle, Oda Yoshinobu. These two are the retainers of the lower family, and they are also the ladies. Oda Yoshinobu said softly. This time, he was in Dutch. Well, this shocked everyone again, but this did not include Li Huamei and other women, because they had long known that Oda Yoshinobu could speak Portuguese.

Well? Isn't it Dutch? Well, for people who don't understand, is there any difference between Portuguese and Dutch?

"I have to say, Oda-sama, your language talent is one of the most terrifying I have ever seen." Lilu Argot shook her head and chuckled, and then said with a straight face, "Lilu Argot, the president of the Lower Argotic Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Well, then, President Argot, I believe that just now, your men have already told you about the situation here. So allow me to get straight to the point. As the lord of Nakono Castle of the Oda family, I sincerely invite your chamber of commerce to join you under your command. Oda Yoshinobu said with a serious face.

"Hehe, join your command? Can you tell me about your purpose? As you said, I have a general idea of the current situation in your country. It seems to be compared to businessmen like us. You should be more interested in fighters. Lilu Argot chuckled.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu shook his head slightly, "President Argot, you are a businessman, and you should know the role of money in war. And though let you join me. But that doesn't mean you need to fight. What you need to do is no different from what you have done before. ”

"But there's still a big difference, isn't it? The money we made before belonged to us, but if we join you, the money becomes yours. Lilu Argot shook her head, clearly disapproving of Yoshinobu Oda's proposal.

"Hehe, I'm not going to take it all and just give you a little fixed return." Oda Yoshinobu chuckled and said, "My plan is this, I will provide you with ships and initial funds, and the money you earn. We are half a point. ”

"This ...... Oda-sama, I would like you to let me discuss it with my subordinates. Hearing this, Lilu Argot said in a deep voice.

"That's nature. Docho, take them to a quiet room. Oda Yoshinobu commanded. Waiting for Lilu and Argot to leave, Oda Yoshinobu explained what had just happened to Li Huamei and his daughters.

"Nanban Chamber of Commerce? My lord, do you mean to trade with Europa through them? Li Huamei immediately guessed what Oda Yoshinobu meant.

"Not just on Europa, you know, in the whole world, Japan is just a very small country. If we can build a strong maritime trade, the wealth we will get is absolutely beyond your imagination. Yoshinobu Oda smiled.

Yes. He really had this intention, and he didn't just want Paulilu Argot for a random reason. After all, in history, England, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, the Netherlands, ...... It is by virtue of the amazing wealth brought by maritime trade that European countries have become powerful countries that have attracted the attention of the world in one fell swoop.

"And ......," Yoshinobu Oda paused. Holding the two girls in his arms, he chuckled, "A strong sea trade needs a strong navy to protect. If there is a navy that can crisscross the seas, Huamei, isn't it a very simple thing for you to take revenge? And Tsuru, your talent won't be wasted either. ”

"But we don't have that much money right now...... although moved. But Li Huamei still kept her sanity. Now, all of the income of the Ancient Wild City, except for maintaining daily expenses, is invested in the Death Gods. Shipbuilding? Although Li Huamei's boat was originally brought by Yang Xien, Li Huamei didn't know how much money it used. But even so, Li Huamei will not take it for granted that those are cheap.

"Hehe, I can go to my brother to borrow it~ It's a big deal, just give more interest when the time comes." Oda Yoshinobu said disapprehantly.

It's just a pity that Li Huamei directly poured cold water, "Lord, I'm afraid you think too well, a sea trade fleet, including warships, is not something that my family can afford at all." It can even be said that with the strength of the entire Owari, it will not be possible to make up the money without eating or drinking for 5 years. ”

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?" Oda Yoshinobu turned his head to look at Ozuru Tsuru. Here, after all, only she is the expert.

"It's not an exaggeration at all, the subordinates attacked Wang Zhi's base back then, and the ships they used spent all their net worth, even so, they only got some offshore ships. And don't forget, my lord, the current strategy of this family is to attack Mino. Li Huamei said lightly.

"Lord, Hua Mei is indeed exaggerating, although his subordinates don't know the specific plan of the lord, but if it is according to a minimum standard of sea trade fleet, the amount is about 30,000 to 50,000 yuan...... Lord?! Dazhu Tsuru also agreed, but before he finished speaking, he saw Oda Yoshinobu with a long mouth and a look of disbelief.

And this blow, apparently, is not over yet. "My lord, this price is calculated according to the level and technology of our domestic shipbuilding. However, in the eyes of his subordinates, the two mainstream ships in the country, the Kanbune and the Ataka Ship, are not suitable for ocean voyages, because they are both sliding by manpower......" Dazhuhe continued.

"But if we want to build that kind of Nanban ship, first of all, we don't have the technology and drawings, and secondly...... Even if it is made, it will not be possible to go to sea for trade in a short time. After all, the training of sailors also requires a lot of time, and in the country, there are not many sailors who can steer Nanban ships. Da Zhu Crane finished speaking. glanced at Oda Yoshinobu cautiously, for fear of hitting him too badly.

But in fact, Oda Yoshinobu had already reacted at this time, indeed. He seems to be taking it for granted. Even in the game, it takes almost 1 year to build 5 large ships with enough money. And it will take 2 or 3 years to earn this money, which is still achieved by various unreasonable bugs.

At the very least, it is impossible to see a cheating situation in which a near-sea vessel sails directly from Japan to the New World. Supplies alone cannot be sufficient.

"In this case, I'm afraid we won't be able to start the sea trade immediately, so what should we do during this time?" Oda Yoshinobu bowed his head in thought.

While Oda Yoshinobu and Li Huamei were discussing, Lilu Argot was also discussing with Fernande Dias. Well, Emilio Filon would never be involved in such a thing.

"Fernand, your instincts have always been very accurate, do you think we should agree to Oda-sama's proposal?" Lilou Argot asked in a low voice.

"This ...... Lilu ...... This kind of big thing, you can't rely on intuition. Fernand Díaz frowned, but he still spoke his mind. As a gambler, based on what Oda-sama said, I think ...... It's still possible to gamble. ”

"Why?" Lilou Argoth tilted her head and smiled, as if she was not dissatisfied with Fernande Dias's words.

"Quite simply, we don't have anything left now." Fernand Diaz said in a deep voice. Although the location of their shipwreck is close to the port of Tsushima, it is also considered a deep sea, and in this era, strictly speaking, as long as the ship sinks in the deep sea, it is basically impossible to successfully salvage it. After all, there was no such thing as a large machine in those days that could lift a ship, let alone a matter of luck to hook it.

Ha? Dive? Well, maybe modern dive records can dive up to 100 meters, but that's extreme diving! You ask him to dive underwater and move something. Not to mention carrying up chests for treasures or supplies. This is why the Age of Discovery, in addition to a large number of stories about navigators, there are countless treasure legends.

What Fernande Diaz said, Lilu Argot naturally understood, so she did not refute, but waited quietly for the following.

"Lilu, you should also understand our current situation. Nothing, just the three of us plus a few brothers. If we are in a country that is peaceful and there is no language barrier, there are many ways we can regain access to funds and ships. But in this war-torn country, and the people here are still quite hostile to us people, I don't think we can get out of here safely without the protection of the local lords. Fernand Diaz said in a deep voice.

"Well, you're right, I think so too." Lilu Argot nodded, although she is only 18 years old this year, her experience during this period has already made her mature and steady beyond ordinary people. Otherwise, with her arrogant personality, even with the support and love of the crew, it would be impossible to drive all the way from Europa to Japan.

"Don't you think it's weird, though? A group of foreigners in distress, and the local lord not only rescued them, but also planned to cooperate with them? Isn't he worried that we won't come back after taking the money and the ship? Lilu asked with a puzzled expression. Perhaps, when we go to sea, there will be a lot of his people around us, but even so, why does he believe us? Just because we say we're businessmen? ”

Hearing Lilu's words, Fernand Dias fell silent, and in fact he couldn't explain why Oda Yoshinobu chose to believe them. Although they sailed all the way from Europa to Japan, they did not really have anything enough to prove their commercial prowess. If you only look at sailing, with a good command of navigation and a good amount of luck, any European can lead a team to Japan.

"Hehe, no wonder you ask my intuition." Fernand Diaz smiled bitterly. This kind of inscrutable thing can indeed only rely on intuition, to put it bluntly, it is based on gambling.

"Yes, so you still think he's worth the gamble?" Lilu Argot asked, looking into Fernande Dias's eyes.

Instead of avoiding it, Fernand Diaz also stared into Lilou Argot's beautiful eyes and said, "Yes, my gut tells me that we can take a gamble." He didn't say why, because there was no reason for this intuition.

Soon after......

"Don't worry, Lilu, you won't be disappointed." Yoshinobu Oda said with a chuckle. As for Lilu Argot agreeing to his proposal, Oda Yoshinobu was still very sure. Well, it's a bit of a risk, but it's a wonderful opportunity. Is there anything more difficult than subduing a survivor who has nothing?

"It's up to you, my lord." Lilu Argot said as she prostrated herself as she learned the etiquette she had just seen. Well, this sentence is the lord, but I heard Oda Yoshinobu say it.

"Hehe~ Lilu, I am impressed by your learning ability, and I am looking forward to your business ability even more." Yoshinobu Oda raised his eyebrows and smiled. Although it seems that Lilu is still a little lame, she has grasped several key points. This kind of thing doesn't require any talent, and Lilu's ability to write it down in an instant only proves that this girl's memory is very, very good.

"Well, then, go and rest. Ning Ning, arrange a room for them. Tomorrow morning, we will come back to discuss the specific details" After dealing with the problem of Lilu and the others, Oda Yoshinobu turned to Li Huamei and Tsuru and said, "I will go to Cheongju now, you don't have to wait for me." ”

"Still going to Cheongju?!" Li Huamei asked in some surprise.

"Of course, even if you can't build a ship, you always need money no matter what you do...... Who would be too little about money? Oda Yoshinobu said with glowing eyes, this appearance made Li Huamei and the two girls amused for a while. They knew very well how much their lord and man didn't care about money, so in their opinion, this was just an excuse for Oda Yoshinobu to take the opportunity to blackmail Oda Nobunaga. Well, it seems that they don't know Oda Yoshinobu. (To be continued.) )
