The assessment meeting was held in the inner hall of Naya, and there were two heads, four handies, and five apprentices, including Long Tao.

The meeting was brief, first summarizing the income and expenditure of the first two months, and then the big boss Imai Munehisa assigned the task.

Tasks are also divided into job levels.,More important tasks like the Ninja or the Pirates.,You can only give it to a fan with enough experience to do.。

As a business, you must have a good relationship with ninjas and pirates, especially in Japan, where shipping is developed, and several major waters are controlled by different pirates, and if you don't take care of the pirates along the way, the goods are likely to be looted.

As a result, many commercial houses receive orders to help build Ninja or Pirates, and of course, most of the cost of these orders is the responsibility of the commercial houses themselves.

Apprenticeships and handicraftsmen are generally relatively simple tasks, and the big boss will make a list for them to choose from, including "investigating local specialties", "promoting the store", "selling treasures", "lending usury", "collecting loans" and many other items.

Long Tao chose a task of "selling treasures".

Since it is a treasure, it is naturally worth more than five props, because the items are expensive and most of the merchants are of low force, the sales objects of this kind of task are generally in the city near the town, the distance is very close, and it can be completed in a very short time, Long Tao took this task with this in mind.

The treasure he sold this time was Kikuichi Script, a famous sword from the Kamakura Shogunate period, with a chrysanthemum pattern engraved with sixteen petals at the bottom of the blade, and the prop effect was Force6, and the task required that the selling price must be higher than the pre-priced price of 1,210 kan, and the object of sale was Shimoma Yoriren of Ishiyama Honganji.

Ishiyama Honganji Temple, the temple of the Honganji sect of the Pure Land Shinshu sect of Japanese Buddhism, was home to a large number of armed disciples with strong centripetal force, and was strategically located on the road to Kyoto, and by the Warring States period, it had developed into a huge religious force that was deeply feared by daimyo everywhere.

The Pure Land Shinshu sect, also known as the Ichijo sect, was believed by a large number of middle and lower class people because of its simple and easy-to-understand teachings and practice methods, advocating "the right opportunities for the wicked", and advocating that the wicked need the guidance of the Buddha the most.

Honganji Temple is set up in the game as a separatist force on the same level as the daimyo of each Sengoku Prefecture, and in fact it is.

Today's 11th generation of Honganji is Honganji Xianru, he married the adopted daughter of the leader Hosokawa Harumoto as his wife, and became a brother-in-law with Takeda Shingen, Asakura Yoshikei and other daimyos, and his disciples because of their loyal beliefs, the will to fight is extremely strong, and in the future became a major stumbling block on the road of Oda Nobunaga's "world Buwu".

Shimoma Yoriren is a fang official under Honganji Xianru, and his position is equivalent to that of the elder of the daimyo's family.

Ishiyama Honganji Castle, which would later be Osaka Castle, was a harbor city separated from Sakai by only one Ishiyama town, so it was very close to it.

After Long Tao took the Kikuichi text, he immediately set off and came to the castle of Honganji.

At this time, Shimoma Lai Lian was only eighteen years old, and he was a handsome monk with five attributes of 72, 74, 75, 79, and 78, and he was an all-round talent.

After some bargaining, Long Tao sold Juyi to him at a price of two thousand two hundred and twelve guan, which exceeded the predetermined price by more than one thousand.

That's right, the focus of this task is to bargain, and this is not difficult for Long Tao at all.

From Sakai no Machi to Ishiyama Honganji, it didn't take half a day to go back and forth, and after handing over the task in Naya, Long Tao returned to the yakuya and ordered Ruyoshi and Sun Bingwei to bring more than 13,000 yuan of capital and prepare to go to Akama Seki no Town.

There are still two months left until the next assessment, and Long Tao believes that this time is enough time for him to make a trip to Hagiyaki.

The town of Akama Seki-no-cho is a long way from the southeastern tip of Nagamon Province in Japan's main state, and it takes about five or six days to travel from Sakai across the entire Seto Inland Sea.

After such a long journey, and passing through many towns on the way, Long Tao decided to bring some goods over to increase the cost.

After considering the amount of carryover and profits, he finally decided to piggyback on Akane and tea.

After buying back 250 catties of akane and tea from Kyinomachi, Long Tao hired an ordinary dhow passenger ship at the dock.

Liuji and the others loaded the goods onto the ship, and the owner of the ship saw one of the bags of tea and asked Long Tao: "This gentleman, your goods are valuable, don't you bring a few more bodyguards?" ”

Long Tao smiled: "No need, the two of them are very strong." ”

The owner of the ship said: "We have to pass through the territory of several sailors along the way, so it is better for you to be careful." ”

Long Tao knew that the so-called navy refers to pirates, these powerful pirates are based on important islands, control the nearby waters, have a good armed force, difficult to exterminate, and have always been the target of the daimyo in various places.

And along the way, you have to pass through three sea areas controlled by the Awaji Water Army, the Salt Water Army, and the Murakami Water Army, and it is inevitable to encounter pirates.

However, large groups of pirates usually plunder large merchant ships and fleets, and small passenger ships like this will be harassed by sporadic small pirates at most, which is why Long Tao chose this ship.

After all, the Ashikaga Yoshi's naval army skills are 0, although Long Tao's combat power is strong, but he has no naval combat skills at all, if he is surrounded by a large group of pirate ships with cannons, it will be difficult to deal with, and if it is just a few pirates who are on the ship to rob, he is confident that he can still be sent away.

"Hehe, you can rest assured." Long Tao smiled, "If your ship is damaged because of a pirate robbery, it will be recorded in my account!" ”

"That's not necessary." The owner of the ship shook his head and said: "We have our own rules for running the boat, and the pirates also have the rules of the pirates, if they board the ship, as long as the boatman stays out of the matter, they will rarely do it." ”

This is very similar to the attitude of the Chinese green forest heroes towards the chariot groom, Long Tao nodded, and told the ship's owner to set sail.

The passenger ship hoisted its sails and headed southeast.

When nothing happened on the ship, Long Tao would teach Ruyoshi and Sun Bingwei martial arts, and he would study ten simple and ruthless knife techniques for them based on the characteristics of Japanese swords, called the "Ten Styles of Bloody Battle".

These ten moves out of the knife are fast, the knife path is strange, the momentum is tragic, each move seems to want to die with the enemy, in fact, each move will control the enemy first, one step earlier to hit the enemy's vital point, there is no danger to kill the opponent.

Of course, the most important thing about these ten moves is to train the physical reaction of the two people, the control of body strength, etc., which is a clever move that Long Tao specially created for them to lay a good foundation through moves.

Liuji and Sun Bingwei, one likes to use guns, the other is good at archery, Long Tao has no intention of studying these two kung fu at the moment, so he can only pass on some of their basic knife skills first, and then slowly teach the two after learning the spear skills and bow in this world in the future.

Although it is the basic "Ten Styles of Blood Battle", it is enough for the two of them to use, along the way, as Long Tao expected, they encountered pirates several times, but they were all three or five people on the boat to rob, and they were all killed or repelled by Liuji and Sun Bingwei, and among those pirates, few of them could catch the two of them with more than five moves.

After several raids, the shipowner became more and more respectful to Long Tao, and after Ruyoshi and Sun Bingwei tried the knife on the pirates, they even threw themselves on the five-body body that he admired.

Six days later, the ship finally arrived in Akama Seki-no-Machi.

Akama Pass is the future Shimonoseki Treaty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty lost power and humiliated the country's "Shimonoseki Treaty", the Japanese called the "Shimonoseki Treaty", signed here, here is the sea of Japan and the Seto Inland Sea of the traffic rush, the sea transport developed.

However, at this time, the town of Akama Seki was only a small port town, and the scale was the smallest among the towns that Long Tao visited, and the business was not so developed.

Long Tao came to the seat and asked, "Shopkeeper, may I ask what is the purchase price of Hagi Yaki here?" ”

"Hagiyaki? What's that? The shopkeeper asked with a puzzled expression.
