Chapter 57: Six hundred thousand taels of silver

"Naha, Fuso, Manthornga, Zhenla, Java, where is it not easy to sell." Shan Chixia sneered, "Especially Fusang, I have heard those Japanese robbers say that Fusang has sixty-six countries, and the king is called a daimyo, sixty-six kings, there must always be smart people who come to do business with my Ming merchants." ”

For the sixty-six kings of Fusang that Shan Chixia said, the obedient officials just didn't hear it, and the fief of 10,000 stones can be called a big name, so if you count it, let alone sixty-six! He was just thinking:, no wonder there is a big tube of Otomo's specialty in "Nobunaga's Ambition", the stunt is the collapse of the country, and the feelings are all bought from Daming! His Excellency Sorin, Otomo Otomo, Kyushu Exploration! Feelings you have been using the second-hand goods of the Ming Dynasty!

In this era, it is said that the most trade with the Ming Kingdom and Korea is almost undoubtedly the Kyushu Otomo clan, just like when it comes to the Japanese in the Jiajing year, they are basically from the Hizen Matsuura family.

It's just that he still can't figure it out, you know, colluding with the military guards to resell the ordnance, since the pirates went to rob it, it proves that the news was released by that Hou Tiju, and the pirates felt that the oil and water were rich after confirmation, so they would do it! However, since everyone from officials to thieves knows that the Yan family is reselling ordnance, does no one care? What about Li Shaonan, the political envoy of Zhejiang? Don't you want such a big trick, why go to all the trouble to hook up with pirates to steal other people's goods!

He said this question, Shan Chixia had an indescribable strange expression on her face, and said slowly: "The envoy of Zhejiang is the political secretary and the governor of Zhejiang, if you want to be an official steadily, you can do anything, but you must not ......do it against your own boss."

This unspeakable irony, when the obedient official heard it, he understood, the political secretary is almost equal to the provincial governor, but there is also the secretary of the provincial party committee above the governor!

The feelings of the whole Zhejiang, starting from the highest governor, are rotten all over!

From this point of view, the background of the Yan family is probably the governor of Zhejiang, no wonder the brother-in-law of the Zhejiang political envoy threatens the Yan family, and the Yan family is not afraid.

"Uncle Shan, do you mean that even if the Yan family is robbed of the goods, it will only lose a little money?" The obedient official asked Shan Chixia, and the Shan housekeeper nodded, "Ningbo Yan family!" When I was young, I was already a wealthy businessman on the ground in Zhejiang, and I guess I didn't necessarily break my muscles and bones if I was robbed once! But ......"

As soon as he spoke, his face turned serious, "Young master, I formally hope that you don't get too close to the Yan family, and the young lady of the Yan family is better not to deal with it, this kind of collusion between officials and businessmen to buy and sell ordnance can be big or small, according to it, the wealthy businessmen on the ground in Zhejiang may not have clean hands, and it is not a big deal, when the Zhejiang Japanese are the most chaotic, these wealthy businessmen also do the same, but, young master, you will definitely be able to be admitted to the Jinshi and become a big official in the future, if you are too close to the Yan family, the reputation is not good, especially what is the idea of the head of the Yan family, Young master, you don't know it. ”

The obedient official's face turned slightly red, and his expression was a little cowardly, "Uncle Shan......"

Neither of them expected at this time that what the Yan family did this time was really a big deal.

On June 2, the 10th year of this Tensho, Oda Nobunaga was killed by his subordinate Akechi Mitsuhide, and Yushiba Chikuzen Mamoru Hideyoshi was the first of the important ministers of the Oda family to learn the news, and he immediately reached a mediation with the Maori family, who was at war, and turned around and returned to Gyeonggi.

At this time, the Kyushu Otomo family, was being defeated by the Shimazu family, and the Otomo family, which once occupied the nine countries of Kyushu Island, six of them lost troops in the Battle of Ogawa in the sixth year of Tensho, and most of the important ministers of the family died, relying on the thunder god Tachibana Michiyuki and Takahashi Shaoyun, the two known as Otomo Shuangbi, to support the hardships.

The death of Oda Nobunaga, who was once thought to be the potential to unify the whole of Saimoto, caused almost the entire Daimyo to wait and see, and there was a period of peace for the temporary surname, and then the Otomo family was able to catch their breath, and the famous Catholic even had time to send a delegation of young envoys to Rome to meet the Pope.

This guy who was very capable when he was young is already very mediocre at the moment, and the thunder god Tachibana Michiyuki in the Otomo double wall was captured by the Ryuzoji family when he was in the ninth day of Tensho, and the tenth year of Tensho is the beginning of this year, and he lost Maoyuan Castle, in short, due to the death of the great demon king Oda Nobunaga, the Otomo family, who was overwhelmed by the Shimazu family and the Ryuzoji family, was able to take a breath for a while.

I have to say that Tachibana Michiyuki, who was struck by lightning when he was a child and is therefore known as the god of thunder, still has a bit of a brain, so he took the opportunity to send someone to the Ming Kingdom and ordered a batch of Fran cannons, which is the so-called big cylinder of himself, how many big cylinders are there! A full five hundred.

These 500 large cylinders, in fact, are the bronze Franc cannons made by the Ming Dynasty, and the caliber is very small, but for the country, it is already a very great weapon, 500 large barrels, enough to change the situation of large-scale battles, said that the country is very strange, there are often thousands of arquebuses on both sides of the war, it is the highest frequency of arquebuses in the world at that time, but they rarely have cannons, generally speaking, there are more than a dozen cannons are already very great names.

These 500 Fran cannons arrived at Otomo's house, I am afraid that it can really change the situation on Kyushu Island, Tachibana Michiyuki smashed down a large cylinder of 120 taels of gold in one breath, said that the price of gold in the country is low, one tael of gold is only equal to four taels of silver, but one tael of gold in the Ming Dynasty is equal to ten taels of silver, therefore, this is a big deal worth 600,000 taels of silver, and Ningbo City Botiju Division collects taxes of only 10,000 to 30,000 taels of silver every year, and the Ming court only has 1 million taels of gold and silver per year, and Wanli has added 200,000 taels in the sixth year, A total of 1,200,000 taels, mainly used by the emperor to distribute military attachés and for the emperor to reward, 600,000 taels of silver, equal to half of the annual gold and silver of the Ming court.

600,000 taels of silver, what is this concept? Even for the Yan family in Ningbo, it is a big deal.

It is said that the country was known as the country of silver in ancient times, it is indeed not blown, the money of the Otomo family was taken out, and the Yan family was immediately tempted, if this batch of goods was really robbed by pirates, even for the Yan family, it was definitely not a small amount of money, it was really nerve-wracking.

Of course, at this moment, the obedient official and Shan Chixia didn't know, Shan Chixia mentioned it slightly, and only hoped that her young master wouldn't get too close to the Yan family, but she didn't want to hurt the young master's face.

He put the eight hundred taels of silver that the good official sold the record book into the account, and he caught the good official to teach the swordsmanship, in short, the young master wrote a book at home when he was free, and practiced swordsmanship with me when he was free, and the Yan family tried to let the young master go less, the best, don't go.

Holding Murazheng's hand, Shan Chixia shook a sword flower and came out, teaching to wash the sword, that is, the moment the blades of the enemy and my sword intersect, draw a circle with the wrist, so that the enemy's sword power can deviate, and the master can even let the enemy's sword get out of his hand.

Watching Shan Chixia stab out the sword flower, the obedient official thought that this was stabbing the other party with more than a dozen big holes all over his body, but as soon as Shan Chixia explained, he was immediately embarrassed, and he had read too many martial arts novels, this is not the swordsmanship of the Wuyue Sword School, this is the actual combat swordsmanship of the Ming Dynasty.

"The trick of washing the sword, it's just a practice of words, young master, you have nothing to do with it, just take it in your hand and draw a circle with your wrist, after a long time, you will naturally become proficient, and when someone else stabs it with a sword, just like that, the enemy's sword will be out of your hand." Although the method of the Shan Chixia Sect disciple is not very clever, it is very plain, and if you practice according to this path, you can always practice well.

The obedient official listened carefully to these words, and for the time being, he forgot what the Zhejiang political secretary made the king of Haiyan and so on, so he devoted himself to practicing swords. Shan Chixia next to him couldn't help but smile when he saw the young master concentrating on sword practice, he didn't expect his young master Wen Neng Anbang Wu to be so strong in Dingguo, but he faintly felt that the Yan family's matter was probably not as easy as he said, and it was best to use sword practice to confin the young master at home.
