Chapter 169: Third-Party Transactions (1)

This time, Yang Guang brought a total length of 3,000 meters of barbed wire from modern time and space, all of which were cut into a section of more than ten meters long, rolled up and put into a wooden box, so that when used, it can be taken out directly, and there is no need to do anything additional to the barbed wire.

This thing is different from the Gofeng gun, the performance of the iron cannon produced by Japanese craftsmen is far inferior to the Gofeng gun, and there is no way to produce it in large quantities in a short time. The number of firecrackers in the Franc machine is too small, and it has never been able to form a scale, only Yang Guang can buy a large number of firecrackers here, as long as he is willing to spend money, he can quickly increase his strength in a short time, so no matter how expensive the price is, he doesn't have to worry about sales.

However, as a value-added service project of Wufeng, if Yang Guangshi shouts a sky-high price, others will directly use wood to make a rejection horse, although the effect is much worse than that of barbed wire, but the cost is much less.

The barbed wire fence in modern time and space is not as troublesome as the firecracker, it is simply as much as possible, so Yang Guang decided to popularize it as soon as possible, relying on the huge sales to obtain benefits, and at the same time to promote the sales of the five peaks, so he only received Oda Nobunaga 30 taels of gold, that is, he made a tenfold small profit.

Seeing that he had finally found a way to solve the shortcomings of firearms, Oda Nobunaga seemed to be very happy, and at dinner he even talked about a past incident, his father-in-law, Saito Michizo, that is, the original Daimyo of the Mino region, before being killed by his son Saito Yoshiryu, once he wrote a letter saying that he would transfer the Mino territory to Oda Nobunaga and ask Oda Nobunaga to avenge him.

Yang Guang didn't understand Oda Nobunaga's intentions, but only responded vaguely and listened to Oda Nobunaga as much as he could. Oda Nobunaga said that after receiving the letter, he did not want to fulfill his father-in-law's instructions all the time, but unfortunately there was a rebellion within the territory, which was finally quelled, and then attacked by Imagawa Yoshimoto, so that the matter dragged on until now.

At this time, Sasa Narumasa said appropriately: "The strength of the Oda family is not strong enough, if we can have Zhao Jun and his iron gunners, we will definitely be able to realize the wish of the head of the family as soon as possible!" ”

"yes!" Oda Nobunaga continued the topic and said, "I want to hire Zhao Jun and those iron gunners of yours again, hoping that I can use your power to pacify Mino as soon as possible and realize my wish!" ”

Of course, Yang Guang would not blindly get involved in the battle between the Japanese daimyos, and he was about to say something to refuse, but he found that Oda Nobunaga's eyes were a little wrong.

It stands to reason that the words on these wine tables are just jokes, and they can't be taken seriously at all, but Oda Nobunaga showed a very concerned and important mind, but after Yang Guang looked at it, he quickly covered up this psychology and made a drunken naΓ―ve, this abnormal situation immediately made Yang Guang vigilant in his heart.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen, it's a pity!" Yang Guang said this slowly, buying time for himself to think.

After defeating Imagawa Yoshimoto, Oda Nobunaga has basically integrated the forces of the territory, and now he can mobilize at least 12,000 to 15,000 troops, how can there be a lack of hundreds of people on Yang Guang's side?

Thinking of today's Oda Nobunaga directly mentioning the matter of Takenaka Hanbei at lunch, Yang Guang felt that the other party should be asking this now, it should be that the drunkard does not mean to drink, he is testing his mind.

If Yang Guang agreed to Oda Nobunaga's request, for his own safety, he would definitely control the sale of Gofeng guns in the future, and it would be impossible to sell this firearm to the enemies of the Oda family again, otherwise he himself would taste the enemy's musket rotation on the battlefield.

This result is certainly the best for Oda Nobunaga. Otherwise, if Yang Guang refuses, it means that Yang Guang has other ideas in his heart, which will inevitably arouse Oda Nobunaga's vigilance, and it is likely to lead to a rapid breakdown of the relationship between the two parties in the honeymoon period.

Unless Yang Guang found a neutral port to do business with, even if he left Oda Nobunaga's territory, this kind of thing would happen in other places, so he had to find a way to solve it properly.

Yang Guang turned his brain to think quickly, and quickly came up with a countermeasure, he continued: "As good friends of the Oda family, our strength is too weak, and I am afraid that we will not be able to play any role on the battlefield, but as a businessman, I can use other methods to help Nobunaga realize his ideals." ”

"From now on, the Oda family will enjoy our most preferential treatment." Yang Guang said loudly: "First, the materials we transported to the port of Long Island, under the same conditions, the Oda family has the right of first refusal. Second, we will not sell any supplies to the enemies of the Oda family. ”

After listening to Yang Guang's words, although Oda Nobunaga didn't say anything, the expression on his face seemed very satisfied. Yang Guang knew that he had guessed the other party's mind, and added: "The Oda family can arrange for people to monitor whether we have violated these two promises in the port of Long Island, but I hope they will not interfere with our normal business operations." ”

Seeing that Yang Guang took the initiative to ask the Oda family to supervise, Oda Nobunaga no longer had any doubts in his heart, and he said smoothly: "Okay, in the words of Ming Guo, I will 'be respectful rather than obey'!" ”

The day after Oda Nobunaga left, a man named Ikeda Tsuneko came with his letter of appointment, accompanied by 50 Ashigaru soldiers.

Yang Guang took the time to go back to the room and flipped through the history books, and found that this young man looked ordinary, but he was Oda Nobunaga's brother, that is, the son of the nurse, and the relationship was not close.

When Ikeda arrived at the port of Long Island, the first thing he did was to inspect Yang Guang's storeroom, and needless to say, he was stopped by the sailors who guarded him. After receiving the notice, Yang Guang leisurely walked over and asked Ikeda Hengxing, who took it for granted, "Am I a subordinate of Nobuto-sama?" ”

Ikeda Hengxing was stunned for a moment and replied, "No! Ikeda then said, "However, you have already promised Nobunaga......

"I just agreed that you would monitor whether we broke our promises, right?" Yang Guang smiled and hurriedly said, "I didn't allow you to check my warehouse, did you?" How many goods I have, and who I sell them to, are two different things, right? ”

Ikeda Hengxing nodded helplessly, knowing that Oda Nobunaga's secret entrustment before he left might not be able to do it.

Yang Guang continued: "Don't forget that I also said that I don't want you to interfere with our normal business operations, your inspection of the warehouse will make our guests feel that the quality of the products is problematic, and it will affect the reputation of our Ming merchants, which is a violation of the agreement between me and Nobuto!"
