Since Buddhism is widely believed in Japan, Honganji Temple can be said to be the number one force in Japan during the Warring States period, and its followers spread all over Japan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

They could confront Oda Nobunaga in his heyday for up to 10 years, and with the wave of a hand, they could muster an army of more than 300,000 believers in a single area.

Because the monks in the temple can't help but marry and have children, they have marital relations with many Japanese daimyos, such as Honganji's generation of the Dharma master Honganji Xianru and Takeda Shingen is a brother-in-law.

The only pity is that Honganji's power is huge but scattered throughout Japan, otherwise with their terrifying mobilization ability and carefully woven huge diplomatic network, there are really few daimyo in this era who can fight against them.

"Since the Jianzhen monk traveled east to Japan...... "Don't look at the next Lai Lian is a monk, but he speaks fluent Chinese, and he is also quite familiar with many allusions of the previous dynasty, which makes Yang Guang quite appreciative and has a good conversation with him.

After chatting for a while, Shimoma mentioned that Japan was now fighting for many years, and many peasants were living in hardship and were being bullied by wicked people. The head of Honganji Temple is worried about the country and the people day and night, and tries his best to improve the situation of these farmers, but unfortunately he has more than enough heart but not enough strength.

Hearing this, Yang Guang smiled slightly, already understood the other party's intentions, so he preemptively spoke: "Although the contemptible people are businessmen, they have great respect for monks, Taoists, and Confucians, this time I brought a three-foot-high jade Buddha from the Ming Kingdom, and I will dedicate it to your sect to express my heart!" ”

In this era, Japan advocates Chinese culture, and goods from the Ming Dynasty can always be sold at a good price, and the jade Buddha that Yang Guang said was actually purchased by Ye Zongman, and it cost about 500 taels of silver, and it is not a big problem to double it three or five times in Japan.

Lai Lian got a valuable gift for nothing, but there was no joy on his face, he didn't come to Yang Guang to make a fate, but to have a bigger plan.

"Thank you for your kindness, I will tell the Dharma Master truthfully." Lai Lian first complimented Yang Guang, and then said in a changed tone: "This time the poor monk visited, in fact, there was another important thing, I heard that Zhao Jun brought a new type of fire gun from the Ming Kingdom......"

"Yes." Yang Guang skillfully said the words that were like a stream: "Each stick is 30 taels of gold, a certain amount of lead bullet gunpowder is given, and the money and goods are not allowed to be owed on credit, and I don't deliver the goods, I want you to transport them yourself." ”

How could Lai Lian be willing to pay real money to buy things? In Japan, the monks of Honganji Temple have all kinds of privileges, do not pay taxes and do not serve, and even the local rulers are not qualified to enter the monks' temples, and there are countless believers who are willing to worship, and they have long developed the character of no one in their eyes.

So Lai Lian once again mentioned how difficult the life of Japanese farmers is, and hopes that Yang Guangle will be kind and compassionate, to put it bluntly, let Yang Guang sell half and give more discounts, if you can take it for nothing, it would be the best.

What happened to Yang Guang whether the Japanese people's lives were good or not? If he really cared about that, he wouldn't sell arms here.

The previous gift of the Jade Buddha was just to follow the local customs, and always to give Honganji a little face, which is like doing business, someone beats the gong to encourage the lion to say auspicious words, and it doesn't matter if you give ten yuan or eight yuan and send it away.

Now that Lai Lian has taken advantage of it, he still wants to make an inch, what is the difference between this kind of behavior and those ruffians who come to the door and directly extort protection money?

Yang Guang laughed and politely refused: "I have crossed the ocean to come here, nothing more than to sell some goods for profit." Even if I don't take a penny, I have to give the people below a little bit of hard money, right? ”

How much does the Wufeng gun cost, not to mention that the Japanese don't know, and even the partner Ye Zongman doesn't know it, so whether it is a lot of money or only a few hard money, the final interpretation is completely in the hands of Yang Guang.

Seeing that this argument was invalid, Yoriyo wrote a blank check, saying that the followers of the Honganji Sect were all over Japan, and as long as Yang Guang was willing to worship some of the five peaks of Honganji, he could guarantee the safety of Yang Guang when he walked to Japan in the future.

Yang Guang smiled coldly in his heart after hearing this, the other party was promising on the surface, but in fact, there was already a threat in secret, obviously if Yang Guang was unwilling to worship, it would inevitably be troublesome to do business in Japan in the future.

Yang Guang doesn't care about this at all, he won't go deep into Japan, and there is no need to run around, the result of the game with Oda Nobunaga just now is that he can sell things in Nagashima Port in the future.

You must know that Oda Nobunaga in modern time and space, but the existence of the enemy of the Buddha is called by Honganji, and in order to prevent the captured believers from being instigated to riot in the future, Oda Nobunaga often ordered to kill all of them without leaving them alive.

Now that Yang Guang supplies a large number of Wufeng guns, Oda Nobunaga will definitely rise faster than in the history of modern time and space, and the collision with Honganji will inevitably be greatly advanced, these greedy guys, there are not a few days of good life.

Of course, Yang Guang would not reveal half a sentence about this matter, he just said proudly: "I have hundreds of Wufeng guns in hand, and I really don't worry about safety. ”

Xia Lai Lian exhausted all kinds of means, not only failed to continue to take advantage of Yang Guang, but was Yang Guang used the lack of supply of goods as an excuse, directly raised the price from 30 taels to 35 taels, and put on a posture of "love to buy, don't buy and roll", so that Lai Lian left in a gloomy manner.

A few days later, Yorilian Shimoma came to Long Island Harbor again, and he brought a large amount of gold, and bought 200 Wufeng guns at a time for 35 taels.

In fact, it was not that Lai Lian did not expect to gather tens of thousands of believers to attack the port of Long Island, but the shooting of the firecracker was too threatening for the unarmed believers who could only hold bamboo guns and farm tools, and perhaps thousands of people might not be able to attack and be defeated. Besides, even if he really won the battle in the end, Yang Guang directly set fire to the sails here, and Lai Lian still couldn't complete the mission he was carrying this time.

After all the calculations, Lai Lian can only compromise, because Wufeng Gong is the exclusive monopoly of Yang Guang, and he can't find a second businessman to do this business, if he buys it through a third party, he will have to pay more than he gains, so he can only pinch his nose and honestly pay the money.

Looking at the resentment in Lai Lian's eyes when he left, Yang Guang didn't pay attention to it at all, but he still reminded Ye Zongman a few words, asking the sailors in charge of guarding here to be more careful on weekdays to avoid being retaliated against by the people of Honganji afterwards.

When doing business between Yang Guang and Shimoma Yorilian, Oda Nobunaga was not idle, he defeated Saito Yoshiryu and began to seize Mino's territory step by step, Saito Yoshiryu lost militarily, and there was no way to resist the attack of the Oda family at all, so he had to use a diplomatic offensive, hoping to suppress Oda Nobunaga together with other daimyo around him.
