Asakura Zongdi understood what Yiyin meant, but he didn't want to pick up at this time, and continued to watch him perform to get more information.

The Japanese commercial route starts from the port of Hakata in Kitakyushu and travels from the Seto Inland Sea to the port of Sakai.

Along the Yodo River into Kyoto, the Seda River connects to Lake Biwa in Omi Province, and then divides into east and west to Kanto.

As Yiyin said, the mountain road in the central part was rugged and difficult, and the cost of the road from Mino to Shinano was too high, and few caravans were willing to take it.

The main head is the east and west trade routes to the north, Tokaido to the east and Hokuriku to the west, and the two trade routes converge again to the Kanto Plain.

Entered the two countries of Mutsu and Dewa, and completed the expansion of trade routes throughout Japan.

Among them, Sunfu Castle in Tokaido took the greatest benefit from Kansai to Kanto.

Sunfu Castle was able to come out on top because the last governor of the Imagawa family, Imagawa Yoshimoto, had a good hand.

She is politically clear internally, and the trade routes of the three kingdoms of Suruga, Yuanjiang and Sanhe are unimpeded.

Externally, it formed an alliance with the Takeda Hojo two families to provide logistical supplies for the two raiders Shinano and Kanto.

Both territories had gold mines, and the Imagawa family exchanged materials from all over the country for Koshu gold and Izu gold, and made a lot of money.

The Oda family, who was hostile to the Imagawa family, was divided into upper and lower Owari civil strife, and in the face of the threat of Mino Kunisai Michizo, he was willing to trade to earn profits and strengthen his own strength.

The Imagawa family cultivated both inside and out, which led to the prosperity of Sunpu Castle, the first castle town on the Tokaido.

And Hokuriku Province does not have this condition, even if the pie painted by Yiyin is delicious, Asakura Zongdi has to listen to a few more words to measure whether it is feasible.

The Kaga province in the northern part of Echizen was seized by Ichijo and was known as the kingdom of Buddhas on earth.

Over the years, due to the suppression of the Venerable Master of the Ten Generations of Honganji Temple, Kaga Ichijo has stopped encroaching on the surrounding countries.

However, the warriors of various countries are still vigilant, and they are afraid that this group of religious lunatics will raise the banner to conquer again.

And the more China is divided into three parts, a sect, a god to protect the family, Shiina family is not in harmony, and the country is in chaos.

The countries on the Hokuriku Province are not at peace, and it is possible to do business, but it is difficult to achieve a situation like that of Tokaido.

She understands this, and Yiyin understands it.

He would have put forward this idea, naturally with his own considerations, continued.

"This time I went to Beijing, and the governor of the Hatakeyama clan, Gao Zheng, wrote a letter to me to communicate with the Hatakeyama family and ask for support."

Asakura Sotsumi looked at Yoshigin, and finally understood his thoughts, it turned out that Hatakeyama Takamasa had already betrayed his sincerity to Spo Yoshigin.

Come to think of it, although the two of them had an unpleasant relationship before, but the Hatakeyama clan has fallen to this point, in order to keep the remaining tens of thousands of territories, what can not be done.

The local powerful faction of the shogunate was originally a powerful Ashikaga family who still had strength to keep warm, and it is not difficult to understand that Spo Yoshiginge was willing to accept Hatakeyama Takamasa.

After the last few wars, Sipo Yiyin has become a well-deserved leader of the local powerhouse.

He wants to take the Hokuriku Road, and the Hatakeyama clan that once occupied the protection of the two countries still has some hole cards that can be taken out to flatter, and the Hatakeyama family is the most powerful card.

The Noto Hatakeyama branch was originally the Noto guardian after the Hatakeyama clan, but the family business has fallen over the years, and it only controls the area around Noto Nanao Castle.

Although her family's power declined, she was orthodox within the guardian system, and she was happy to support the return of the orthodox forces of the shogunate represented by Spo Yoshiyin to Hokuriku Province.

The Noto Peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides and is lined with hills, and only Nanao Bay in the eastern part of Nanao Castle has a good port.

Since ancient times, Tsuruga Bay and Qiwei Bay have been engaged in maritime trade, and they have taken the first line of the Bohai Sea.

The Bohae Kingdom refers to the outer northeast of the Korean Peninsula.

Maritime trade, the Celestial Dynasty Korea went to Tsushima, and the Ryukyus transshipped goods in Southeast Asia, and the target was Hakata Port in Kitakyushu.

These west coast ports of Tsuruga Shichio can only rely on the Tsushima current to meet some trade in the direction of the Bohai Kingdom, and the two ports have close exchanges.

Nanao Castle is located on the eastern shore of the Noto Peninsula, and it is located in the western part of Echigo down the ocean current.

This is the base of the Fuchu Nagao family, Kasuga Mountain Castle, which is the old nest of Uesugi Teruto.

This sea route is unimpeded, and it is an old road that has been used to since ancient times, but the warriors of the Three Kingdoms rarely interact, and they are all self-consistent trade of merchants.

Once the three join forces to make money, the official will come forward to attract traffic, and maybe it will really be able to make a big profit.

Asakura Sodra sat up straight, looked at Uesugi Teruto, and asked.

"His Royal Highness Uesugi is also willing to facilitate this?"

Yoshiin Spo represents the attitude of the Spo family, and she also needs to confirm whether the Uesugi family is willing to participate.

Uesugi Terutora nodded.

"I've promised to be humble and honest."

Echigo has a tradition of taking the Hokuriku Road to trade, and this time, more than 30 people rode to Beijing on horseback, and the supplies along the way were the strongholds of the family's business.

The cost of sea freight is lower than that of road transportation, and the most difficult thing to deal with is the shipwreck and the port.

Tsuruga, Nanao, Kasuga Yamajo Castle's Takata Port Channel is a familiar road that sea ships are used to, and there is no problem at all, of course she will not object.

What's more, it's a beauty asking for help, and it's too late to be courteous, how can it be extrapolated.

It's just that there is something strange in my heart, but I don't really want this thing to succeed.

After determining Uesugi Teruto's attitude, Asakura Muneya finally became serious.

She didn't expect Sunpu Castle to prosper like Tokaido, but as long as Hokuriku Province could make Hokuriku more attractive to nearby caravans, the Tsuruga people would not be less profitable.

Tsuruga Port doesn't have to just stare at the soup and water from the Tsushima Current, you can eat a few bites of fatty meat.

Asakura Sotsumi looked squarely at Spo Yoshiin and asked.

"What can the Spoo family offer for this?"

If Spo Yoshiin only used the letter from the Hatakeyama clan to go to the Hatakeyama clan to draw a line, then it would be useless after success.

Even if the three families give him face, there is no return if he doesn't pay, and it is only a matter of time before he is marginalized.

Asakura Zongdi does not think that Sipo Yiyin is making wedding clothes for the three families, and if he sends benefits, there must be interests to bind the three families.

Yiyin replied.

"In recent post-war negotiations, the Miyoshi family allowed the Spo family to enter Sakai Port for the shogunate and supervise local merchants in case there was another anti-shogunate allocation.

The Spo family is under the authority of Yono Takada, and now the Sakai Port oversees this matter and coordinates all business affairs of the Spo family.

I have ordered him to open up the Hokuriku trade route. ”

Asakura Sodra squinted his eyes and thought about it, Sakai Port was like a forbidden body under the control of the Miyoshi family, and it did not leak.

Unexpectedly, the Spo family actually used the post-war negotiations to meddle in the Sakai port business, which must have controlled a group of merchants.

Sakai Port supplies, which were controlled by the Spo family, departed from the port of Tsuruga Asakura in Hokuriku Province, passed through the Noto Hatakeyama family, and arrived at Kasuga Mountain Castle in Echigo Kamishito.

Asakura Zong said with a smile.

"Then just wait for the nod of the Hatakeyama family?"

Yiyin replied.

"When Echigo arrives, I will send a letter to communicate with the Noto Hatakeyama family, and her family should not refuse."

Asakura nodded his head.

The power of the Hatakeyama family can only be guarded by the Seven Tails Castle.

If you can use the trade route to tie up with the Echizen Asakura family and the Echigo Kamishi family, there is also the shogunate's local powerful boss Spo Yoshiin to protect him.

How could her family refuse, crying and shouting to participate in trade.
