The public enjoys the right to exempt from local taxes, of course, if you do business, it is still indispensable to close money and entangle miscellaneous taxes in various places, but Shangluo's tribute is different, the manor has always only deducted the tribute, and there is no reason why the tribute is intercepted by the halfway, and the deduction party can use the murderous natural disasters and military chaos as an excuse, and the interception is only one reason for greed, and the lord who is greedy for everything is easy to be attacked by everyone's joint attack, so the Kira family wants to obtain benefits on the grounds of annual tribute is indeed a tricky idea.

It is already remarkable that the people of Mikawa can think of this layer, and only Nobutasha Okochi can think of it at a deeper level, and he wants to take the opportunity of transporting the Kira family's own sea salt to Shangraku, and open up the salt sales channel from the Kira family to Sakamoto, and the promise of the Owari Tsushima Ohashi family is not enough to satisfy his appetite, and only Gyeonggi, which is further away, is the best choice for maximizing profits.

"The price of salt in Ki is uneven, the crude sea salt is about 500 wen in one stone, and the slightly pure sea salt is about 500 wen in four years, and the refined sea salt produced by the salt pond has never appeared in Ki, so it is not a problem to cause high prices in the short term...... However, it is still necessary to control the price for long-term operation, and the expenses such as transportation and transit, and the Chinese people are evenly spread down to about three times per stone, as long as the price is more than six times, you can get half of the profit. ”

The Kira family's own salt pond produces 3,000 koku a year, and the salt pond of the Keira family has a total of more than 8,000 koku, and the trade routes of the Tokaido are currently only maintained in Owari, Ise, and Toe respectively set up salt houses to distribute refined sea salt, and in order to prevent the Imagawa family from coveting it, there is no plan to set up a salt house in Suruga for the time being, and the production method of refined sea salt is monopolized by a genealogy of the Kira family, and it is temporarily in a monopoly position.

Of course, the big merchants of Owari and Ise have noticed that the refined sea salt of the Kira family is extraordinary, and they have not given up on the arbitrage technique in addition to eating a large amount of salt, and in the Tokaido and Mino regions, they can digest more than 3,000 koku of salt, and in recent years, merchants who have traveled to and from the Kanto region have also eaten a large amount of refined sea salt every time they stop in Mikawa, as a regular means of recovering goods and preserving capital.

The sales volume of refined sea salt has grown steadily, and a total of 4,200 koku were sold last year, but this is still a certain distance from the inventory being sold out, and a large number of them are put into the market and are worried about rapid depreciation, so the Kira family has been holding the market and selling it for several years, if the salt house in Sakamoto is successfully set up this time, with the throughput of Kinai not to mention 3,000 koku of salt, even 5,000 koku can be distributed, and the profit is also a staggering figure, as the ruler of Sakamoto Castle Town, Kira Yoshitoki can also get a rich tax return.

Kira Yoshitoki explained to Okochi Kitakaka: "Go back and tell Tajima Mamoru that his plan has been understood!" Let him prepare enough new salt and wait for the good news of his family! ”

"Your Majesty must report as soon as possible, what else does the Pavilion Master have to order?"

"It's good to keep Tajima Mamoru in his current state, the Imagawa family will be happy to see the Mikawa power in line with the trend of separation, and warn those retainers who have illusions not to think about the unification of the two auspiciouss, it will only bring disaster to the two families, please ask Tajima Mamoru to relay this sentence to his brother!" Kira Yoshitoki frowned slightly, but decided that it was better to make his words clear.

Mikawa's samurai great wisdom is not, but there is no lot of crooked thoughts in the intestines, and there is no worse Kanto samurai in terms of bravery, but he can't change his short-sightedness, and Kira Yoshitoki has no heart to correct this group of rat-eyed guys, Mikawa splitting is in line with the interests of the Imagawa family, and it is also in line with the interests of Kira Yoshitoki, he wishes that the Matsudaira family would be split into eight parts, one person and one independently, of course, this can not be said, but can only understand that it is unspeakable to teach people to handle.

At the beginning of May, Takigawa Mashige, who was the general of the Kira family's bare pole navy, approached Kira Yoshishi: "Lord of the museum! The family can't do without its own water army, and if Gyeonggi is such a rich inland waterway, if it is not used properly, it is a waste of God's gift! ”

"Yes! I've never thought about it! What does it mean? ”

"Please allow your ministers to go back to Shima next time and recruit a group of sailors for your family!" Takigawa Mashige bowed his head.

"Recruitment? No problem! Kira nodded in approval of his proposal, and then asked a new question: "It's just that the family doesn't have shipwrights, how can they build ships?" It seems expensive to hire a boatman in Sakai Town! ”

"Let's make this bag for my ministers! In addition to the navy, there are boatmen and fishermen in my Shima country, and I dare not say that a hundred and ten boatmen can still pull it over! Takigawa said confidently.

"I see! Then leave it to Yizhong to do it! After the deed is completed, you will be a veritable general of the navy in your family! ”

"Your Majesty's wish is to lead the Iron Artillery Team for the Pavilion Master! Because His Majesty has not been to the sea in the past few years and has been practicing iron artillery skills, he implored the owner of the pavilion to allow him to be transferred to the iron cannon general after the incident. When it comes to the iron artillery team, he seems to remember that Takigawa Yishige has said this, he is good at iron artillery and hopes to serve as an iron cannon general, and this is the position he hoped for when he came out, even if he has been the commander of the light pole for half a year, he has not changed his original intention, he is really a persistent guy.

"Alright! Then it's up to you! But you'll have to recruit a qualified general for your family! Don't be a half-ass! ”

"Yes!" Takigawa Yoshihiro bowed down and retreated.

It didn't take long for Takigawa Yoshige to bring more than 100 boatmen as promised, and more than 200 sailors accompanied him, their leader was the Nine Demons Shigetaka from the Shima Nine Ghost Family, the Nine Ghosts Shigetaka is the second son of the current head of the Nine Ghost Family, and the elder brother is the heir of the family governor, the Nine Ghosts Dinglong, because he has no inheritance rights in the Nine Ghosts family, and was attracted by the fellow townsman Takigawa Shigetsu to join the Kira family.

"It turned out to be someone from the Nine Ghost Family! Isn't your family the Nine Ghosts of the Kumano Clan? Later, it was because of the failure of the competition for the leading position between the sects, so I ran to Shima to become a countryman, right? ”

The Nine Ghosts Chonglong said excitedly: "Yes! The next clan is the Kumano Nine Ghost Family! ”

"Aren't your family powerful people in Shima Country? How did you think of defecting to your own family? "Kira Yoshitoki has never heard of the Nine Ghosts Chonglong, and he can't help but doubt his intentions.

"Because of the intervention of the Kitabatake family of Ise Kuniji, the situation of the subordinate clan is not as good as before."

The Nine Ghost Family has not had a good time in recent years, the reason is that the Kitabatake family, the national secretary of Ise, has extended its tentacles to the Shima country, as the head of the Seven Shima Parties, the nine ghost family of the largest force in Poche County, must face the strong pressure of the Kitabatake family, and in the face of the menacing Ise Kuniji, the nine ghost family is naturally unwilling to stand still, and the nine ghost family has pulled the Shima Seven Party together to fight against the Kitabatake family over the years, but as the trend of large-scale intervention of the Kitabatake family is becoming more and more obvious, there are more and more wealthy families who have fallen to the Kitabatake family, and the nine ghost family of the temporary leader of the Shima country has become more and more sad.

Therefore, the second son of the Nine Ghost Family, Shigetaka, once thought about seeking foreign aid, but at this time, no one could save them, after many disappointments and returns, the Nine Ghost Shigetaka began to be pessimistic about the future of the Nine Ghost Family, and then he met Takigawa Yoshige, and learned from his mouth that he was already a retainer of the Kira family, and his brother Takigawa Ichiyoshi also came out of the Oda family, so the Nine Ghost Shigetaka's thoughts suddenly came alive.

When Takigawa Mashige proposed to invite him to Shijira's house, the Nine Demons agreed without hesitation, and then recruited more than 100 people including retainers of the same clan and old friends of the same clan who followed him, along with more than 100 sailors recruited by Takigawa Mashige through his old relationship.

Later, Kira Yoshitoki asked some basic questions about the naval warfare, and appointed the Nine Ghosts Shigetaka as the general of the Kira family's Naval Army with two hundred years of money, and the more than 200 Naval Forces were his subordinates, and the first thing after the Nine Ghosts Shigetaka took office was to offer a proposal: "Please ask the Lord of the Pavilion to invite the Yodogawa people to discuss in the name of discussing Sakamoto's water transportation!" ”

"Sakamoto water transport everything? I understand! You're planning to control the inland waterways, right? Kira praised, "This is indeed a good idea!" ”
