Chapter 371 Control
Being able to participate in the Sakai Port Mitsunari arms trade and understand all the trade trends, Takada Yono believes that the limit has been reached for the time being.
Merchants are a very complex group, involving various forces and relationships.
During the period of the Emperor's court, foreign trade was quite weak, and the imperial court's envoys to the Tang Dynasty almost spent their lives seeking the advanced system of the Tang Dynasty.
Because of the lack of ocean-going technology, going to sea is equivalent to looking for death, and it is common to be buried in the belly of a fish.
During the Kamakura shogunate, Japan was rich in gold and silver.
The trading ships of the Great Song, Goryeo, and Ryukyu brought a large number of traded goods, and gradually established a large trade.
After the collapse of the Kamakura shogunate, the samurai of Kyushu and the Seto Inland Sea turned into Japanese and went to sea to do evil with the help of trade routes.
After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu came to the throne, the third general of the Ashikaga shogunate, asked Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor who established the Ming Dynasty, for a name in order to suppress Japan.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked her to eradicate the Japanese who attacked and disturbed the Ming Dynasty, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu gladly accepted, set up Kyushu to explore the problem to crack down on the Japanese invaders, and offered the first level to flatter the Ming Dynasty.
Subsequently, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Ashikaga Yoshimitsu the title of king of Japan, gave the king a golden seal, and allowed the exploration trade.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu eliminated the emperor and ministers with the help of the golden seal of the Japanese king, and the samurai dominated Japan and had no political constraints.
Through the exploration trade, the Ashikaga family gathered a large number of interests, and during the period when Ashikaga Yoshimitsu served as a shogun, the prestige of the Ashikaga shogun reached its peak.
From the perspective of power alone, only the three generations of generals Ashikaga Yoshimitsu are the lords of the world, and the other Ashikaga generals can only be said to share the world with the samurai under their command.
After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu became a man, the right to trade was acquired by the Hosokawa family and the Ouchi family.
The two families fought fiercely for the right to trade.
The Hosokawa family united with the Sakai port merchants, and the Ouchi family united with the Hakata merchants for a long time, and finally the Ouchi family won.
The Ouchi family monopolized the right to explore trade, and the center of Japan's foreign trade shifted to the port of Hakata in Kitakyushu Chikuzen Province.
The Hakata merchants of Kitakyushu monopolized the trade of the Ming Dynasty, Korea, and the Ryukyus to Japan, as well as the newly entered Nanban trade.
The Sakai Port merchants in the vicinity switched to the Seto Inland Sea and the Kanto region for intra-Japanese trade.
The two sides fight each other in trade and depend on each other, you have me, I have you, the water is very deep.
In particular, after the defeat of the Ouchi family and the Hosokawa clan, the dominance of Hakata Port and Sakai Port has changed hands, which makes it even more complicated.
Yang Nai pondered for a long time and said.
"With the ability of the new selection group, participating in the three-percent munitions trade is already the limit.
After all, my family is not a good family, and these businessmen will not be so easy to follow.
Divide more profits to the merchants who take the first line of the Hokuriku Road, and I hope that the business route of the Spo family can reach Echigo next year. ”
Imai Mune's troubles have been troubled for a long time.
"In this way, we will have a lot of bleeding, and even if we are willing to make profits, we are afraid that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble and ask for more."
Gao Tian Yangno smiled coldly and said.
"Imai Hime, you have to change your thinking.
Now you are a samurai, not a businessman, don't stand in the position of a businessman.
Our foundation is not money, but the Spo family, as long as the Spo family business can be strong, all the efforts are worth it.
The Lord ordered the opening of the Hokuriku Province, and there must be a reason for the decision at home.
It's an order, it's not to be questioned, you understand? ”
Imai Sohisa panicked in his heart, and bowed to the ground.
"My Imai family is loyal to Kenshin, so don't misunderstand Takada-sama.
I'm just afraid that I won't be able to complete His Highness's task if I don't think it through, so I'll say a few more words.
Business negotiation is also a game, these businessmen are treacherous, once my family shows their urgent needs, they will inevitably be bitten to the death, in pursuit of more benefits.
I fear that bloodletting will only make them more greedy and unsustainable. ”
Takada shook his head and said.
"That's why I said, you're still a businessman's idea.
We are a samurai family, we have the right to let them die, is the benefit of the Spo family so easy to take?
I'll contact Mitsuhide-sama Akechi and ask her to speak to the allies of the Spo family.
Merchants who support the Spo family in opening up Hokuriku Province will receive preferential treatment in the three domains of the Spo Hosokawa Mibuchi family.
Even the Asai family will make it easier, and the Owari Maeda Toshiya side can dredge it.
Merchants who do not respect our Spo family will be severely punished, and it is up to you to decide how to punish these miscellaneous things.
After all, you know their sore spots better, and you are the most suitable person. ”
Imai Munehisa listened with fascination.
At the beginning, she was a businessman, and she deeply hated the martial arts family for using their power to wantonly suppress merchants and do whatever they wanted.
Now she has become a samurai, and she is the merchant of the Gaomenspo family.
It's really indescribable to turn around and use the power of the martial arts to bully those old friends who like to be smart, and the sweetness of power is so wonderful.
Lord Takada is right, in the samurai society, a businessman is a p, and whoever dares to punish too much is not worth caring about.
The Sibo family was the leader of the powerful local faction of the shogunate, and how could a humble merchant offend such a high-ranking nobleman to live a good life.
You only need to catch one or two ignorant killers, and the trouble will be solved.
She bowed in convincing.
"Takada-sama is wise."
Yono glanced at her and said.
"Remember, we are samurai.
Your identity is different, don't care about those money transactions in the future.
As long as the Spo family is strong, we will have more and more rights. With power, there is no fear of not having money.
The Shinsengumi did not exist in Sakai Port to make money, but to assist in the expansion of the family business in line with the strategy of the Spo family. ”
Imai Munehisa snorted, more and more respectful.
Yono Takada learned quickly, and in less than half a year after coming to Sakai Port, she figured out the essence of a businessman.
Merchants are highly profitable, and in order to make a profit, they can sell the ropes that hang themselves.
Merchants are humble, and under the sword of the samurai, they are willing to give money in exchange for multiplication, and the weakness of the propertied is laid to be seen.
The evil party of the villagers also has the ruthlessness of the samurai hunter, and the merchants will only look for the big trees, become rattans that cling to the trees, and cling to the strong.
The samurai oppressed them and belittled them, and the methods were too rough.
Takada Yono has his own ideas and looks down on the shallow methods of the samurai to treat the merchants.
Her eyes are not only on Sakai Port, but also on the Hakata Port in Kitakyushu.
As long as you can control the trade routes in Kansai, you can control the merchants of Sakai Port and Hakata, and you can control all the trade routes in Kansai.
This represents a huge amount of money, and a huge supply of goods behind it.
The Takada family is not capable of obtaining military merit from the battle array, so she can only use the power of money to serve the Lord in order to gain his favor.
Thinking of this, Gao Tian Yang was hot and dry, and it was difficult to restrain himself.
Her eyes were cold, and she said to Imai Munehisa.
"Give me the right to firmly grasp the participation of the three military quartermasters, and sort out the direction of all the military trade in Sakai Port.
Negotiate with the merchants who take the Hokuriku Road, I don't care how you operate, coercion and temptation or murder, next year the trade route of the Spo family will lead to Echigo.
These two things must be done, and there must be no mistakes. ”
"Hey!"
Yono turned to look at Yui Yuira Yui again and said.
"The Shinsengumi are prepared to deal with the old Ikedaya routine if something goes wrong."
"Hey!"
After speaking, she looked into the distance with a resolute gaze.
Lord, Yang Nai will never let you down.
