Wise Mitsuhide sat back at the tea table, sitting with his back straight and his expression indifferent.

She slowly lifted the teacup in front of her, and the ripples on the tea surface circled. With the action of lifting, he trembled violently, and when he put it close to his lips, he had already spilled most of it.

She silently tilted her head, swallowed the small amount of tea in one gulp, and savored it carefully.

"Cut, it's so unpleasant, I really don't have the talent for it."

She silently looked into the distance, her eyes inexplicably gentle.

"I'm really only good at those dirty and shady tricks."

———

Sakai Port, Shinsengumi station.

Yono Takada played with the golden judgment in his hand and asked Imai Munehisa, who was sitting at the bottom.

"What did Tsuda say?"

"She said that she was willing to share the Hokuriku trade route with you, and offered 500 pieces of gold, just begging my family not to sell the goods in her warehouse at a low price."

Yono Takada looked at Imai Munehisa coldly, making her sweat on her forehead.

Tsuda Sokazu is really in a hurry, she is also an exclusive business, and the profit is several times the transaction, and it will not hurt the muscles and bones to be taken away by the Shinsengumi Sancheng goods.

It's a big deal! There are always risks in business, and they are passed on to the next family.

The loss here is 30%, the price is increased by 50%, and there is another profit, or the Spo family is scolded and has a bad reputation.

This kind of businessman's routine is already well known to Yono Takada, who has been honing in Sakai Port for a long time.

But she sold her goods at half price in Sakai Port in exchange for supplies to support Spo's recent leaders, which really cost Tsuda Muneji's life.

Thirty percent of the goods are sold at half price, which is equivalent to smashing the plate. After that, don't talk about the price increase, she Tsuda Zong and can maintain the original price, which is a good skill.

For this reason, she had to take advantage of the road of Imai Sohisa to offer money to Takada Yono and beg for money, raising her noble hand.

Takada Yono stared at Imai Munehisa in a cold sweat before he said slowly.

"The gold sentence is 500 pieces, or a small judgment of about one tael, and one tael of gold is equal to 1,500 yuan, but it is only 750 yuan.

My mercy is cheap enough, if it is a big sentence, I will not be a man. ”

Imai Sojiu was flattering on his face, but he was complaining in his heart, and the big sentence was ten taels, that is, seven thousand five hundred.

The low-level Ji Samurai is out of office, and the annual income is only about fifteen, if you finish the person you want, the huge loss is better than letting the Spo family sell the inventory directly.

You're greedy.

Gao Tian Yangnai didn't bother to pay attention to how she looked at herself, her mind was full of money, and she wanted enough money to buy supplies and send them to the Sibo territory.

War is the most expensive business, and no amount of materials is enough to fill this bottomless pit.

She said.

"Don't cover it up for her because you have received her favor."

Imai Sojiu was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he bowed to the ground.

"How dare your subordinates accept bribes and ruin the affairs of the main family!"

Imai Zong has been wronged for a long time, she is worth a lot of money, and she wants a smooth career on the road of the samurai, how can she lose a lot of money for a little money.

Tsuda Munekichi did intend to give, but she really didn't take it!

Takada waved his hand, disapproving.

"It's okay to accept it, as long as you are loyal to the lord, the rules of the martial arts are not so strict."

Imai Sou wanted to cry for a long time without tears, Takada Yono was holding the black cauldron on her body, what else could she say as a subordinate?

Blaming the boss for being blind? I had to cry silently and carry this pot.

Originally, I wanted to say a few good words for Tsuda Zonghe, but at this time, he was silent and didn't dare to speak out.

Yono Takada glanced at her, satisfied.

Imai Munehisa is a big businessman in Sakai Port, a big tea man, and now he has a samurai identity and is becoming more and more prestigious.

It must be beaten all the time, lest she get carried away, forget her humility, and get out of her control.

Gao Tian Yangno threw the golden judgment in his hand, smashed it into the five hundred small judgments on the table, and stretched his waist.

"Tsuda Munekazu woke up late and told her that I didn't want her Hokuriku business point, and handed over fifty percent of the warehouse inventory, which was an unrespectful apology to the Spo family.

You give half the price to the merchants of Sakai Port in exchange for military supplies and continue to transport them back to the Spo territory. ”

Imai Munehisa said curiously.

"Lord Takada is bent on seeking the Hokuriku Province, why did he suddenly give up? Isn't that a family matter? ”

Takada Yono smiled slightly, his eyes were far away with gentleness.

"Of course, the lord is wise, and it saves me a lot of effort.

The Echizen Tsuruga Asakura family, the merchant office of the Notoyama family contacted me, and it turned out that the lord had already laid out the Hokuriku Province and negotiated the opening of the port.

Echizen Tsuruga Port, Noto Nanao Port, Echigo Naoetsu, and local daimyo will fully support the transportation of goods from my family's port.

With the joining of the three samurai merchants, our Sakai Port cargo can be connected to the Hokuriku Port by seaport for nearly a few days, and it will be unimpeded. ”

Imai Munehisa looked shocked, this was a game she had never thought of.

Her idea is still a traditional business, liaising with various businessmen, investing in participating business points, and sharing benefits.

However, what Sibo Yiyin prepared for Takada Yono was a road to heaven and a political alliance to drive business development.

The ports of Hokuriku Province follow the outer ocean current, and are not in the same line as the Seto Inland Sea, which supports Sakai Port trade.

The Tsushima Islands were one of the maritime hubs connecting the Celestial Empire to the northeast and the Korean Peninsula to Japan, and the other route was the Ryukyus, which were used for trade with Southeast Asia and the Nanban.

Every year, countless merchant ships come to the port of Hakata in Kitakyushu via the Tsushima Current. What Sakai Port took was the distribution of Hakata Port to the Seto Inland Sea.

And the Tsushima current is a circle, and in addition to the prosperous Hakata Port of Kitakyushu, the Tsuruga Port of Hokuriku Province has also taken a little special product of the Tohoku since ancient times.

For merchants, this trade route is ripe and feasible.

From Tsuruga Port to Nanao Port on the Noto Peninsula, you can go all the way to Echigo Province, Sado Province, and even Dewa Province by sea.

Just because Hokuriku Province is closed and chaotic, few merchants have the courage to ship goods in large quantities.

Most of the merchants took the relatively safe and stable Tokaido, the Imagawa family.

But last year, Imagawa Yoshimoto was killed in the Battle of Owari, and the Imagawa family began to have civil strife, and the trade routes along the Tokaido route have been affected.

At this time, there was a route in Hokuriku Province that was maintained by local samurai, and the sea trade route led directly to Kanto and even the land of Ou.

What a benefit!

The sea route takes less time than the land route, has fewer levels, and is more profitable.

Once the Spo family was able to preside over this trade route and become the shipper of the Sakai port, Takada Yono would be the god of wealth for the Sakai port merchants.

With this bright prospect, Tsuda Sokazu's Hokuriku Province businessman counted a p, of course, he kicked her away and played in the village himself.

Imai Sohisa admires it in his heart, or the samurai can play.

If this happens, the Spo family's weight in Sakai Port will be on par with the Miyoshi family.

The Miyoshi family had a knife, and everyone had to give in and pay for it.

The Spoo family has a money bag, and who doesn't want to make money when they are businessmen, isn't they competing to kneel and lick it.

Imai Munehisa was pleased, but Takada Yono was thinking about the Omi War after the spring ploughing.

Even though she was already trying her best to deliver supplies, it was still difficult to meet the needs of Iga's army for a while, and the time was too tight.

But she had to get it done, and this was a great opportunity to expand her family's voice and not to be missed.

She asked.

"How much money do we have left?"

Imai Munehisa's face was bitter, and he reluctantly answered.

"In addition to the necessary working capital, all military supplies have been bought.

These days, the armament of Sakai Port has risen by 30 percent, and the grain has risen by 50 percent.

I can't buy it anymore, Lord Takada, those profiteers are raising their prices, waiting for me to make a move. ”

Takada Yono is silent, Imai Munehisa is right, there is no treachery and no business.

Knowing that the Sibo family is buying materials on a large scale, and everyone is raising prices, who doesn't want to suck a few more mouthfuls of blood.

And the circulating reserves can no longer be moved, otherwise it will hurt the fundamentals.

Takada Yangnai used the sugar decolorization method to buy shares in Imai House, and the two of them actually didn't take it seriously.

What really made Imai Munehisa work hard was the samurai identity given by Spo Yoshiyin.

The decolorization method was used by Gao Tian Yangnai to trade with all parties and invest in various armament businesses, and the formula had long been flooded and worthless.

At the beginning of the year in Owari, a pound of raw sugar cost 300 wen, and the white sugar obtained after the decolorization method cost 600 wen per catty.

Sakai Port is a wholesale place for foreign goods, and the price of foreign cane sugar is already low, and after the decolorization method, the cost is only 100 Wen.

The decolorization method is simple, and after it spreads, the price collapses.

Today, the price of sugar in Sakai Port is only 130 Wen, and it has completely degenerated into an ordinary commodity, and there is no luxury B style when it first appeared.

Now in the hands of Yono Takada, the real profitable business is the finance and armaments run by Imai Munehisa.

Originally, she was only engaged in the iron cannon business, but at the request of Takada Yono, she opened the way with the sugar decolorization method, and constantly invested money in the trading of various weapons and equipment.

Although it seems that the business has become bigger, after the exchange of interests, the share of the profiteering trade of the iron cannon has declined, and the profit is far less than before.

What is still making money now is finance.
