different warring states of japan

Chapter 372 Control
To be able to participate in [-]% of the arms trade in Sakai Port and to understand the direction of all transactions, Takada Yono thinks that he has reached his limit for the time being.

Merchants are a very complex group, involving various forces and relationships.

During the Emperor's court period, foreign trade was quite weak, and the imperial court's envoys to the Tang Dynasty almost used their lives to obtain the advanced system of the Tang Dynasty.

Because of the lack of ocean-going technology, going to sea is tantamount to seeking death, and it is common to be buried in the belly of a fish.

In the period of the Kamakura shogunate, because Japan was rich in gold and silver.

The trading ships of the Song Dynasty, Koryo, and Ryukyu brought a large amount of trade goods, and gradually established a large-scale trade.

After the collapse of the Kamakura Shogunate, Kyushu and Seto Inland Sea samurai turned into Japanese pirates and used trade routes to go to sea to do evil.

After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the third-generation general of the Ashikaga Shogunate, came to power, he asked Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor who established the Ming Dynasty, for his name in order to suppress Japan.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked her to eradicate the Japanese pirates who harassed the coast of Daming, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu readily accepted, set up Kyushu to investigate the problems against Japanese pirates, and offered her head to flatter Daming.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Ashikaga Yoshimitsu the title of king of Japan, bestowed the king with a golden seal, and allowed exploration and trade.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu used the Japanese king's gold seal to eradicate the emperor and his ministers. So far, the samurai have dominated Japan without any political constraints.

Through the joint trade, the Ashikaga family collected a lot of benefits. When Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was the general, the prestige of the Ashikaga general reached its peak.

From the point of view of power alone, only the three-generation general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is the master of the world, and the other Ashikaga generals can only be said to share the world with the samurai under his command.

After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the rights to Kanhe Trading were acquired by the Hosokawa family and the Ouchi family.

The two fought fiercely for the right to trade.

The Hosokawa family teamed up with Sakai Port businessmen, and the Ouchi family teamed up with Hakata businessmen for a long-term game, and finally the Ouchi family won.

The Ouchi family monopolized the right to survey and cooperate with the trade, and the center of Japan's foreign trade turned to Hakata Port in Chikuzen, Kitakyushu.

The Hakata merchants in Kitakyushu monopolized the trade of Ming, Korea, and Ryukyu to Japan, as well as the newly entered Nanman trade.

And the merchants in Sakai Port in recent days turned to the Seto Inland Sea to near Japan, and the Japanese intra-Japanese trade in the Kanto.

The two sides are fighting each other and relying on each other in terms of trade. There is me in you, and you in me. The water is very deep.

Especially after the defeat of the Ouchi family and the Hosokawa clan, the dominance of Hakata Port and Sakai Port has changed hands, making it even more complicated.

Yang Nai thought for a while and said.

"With Shinsengumi's ability, participating in [-]% of the arms trade is already the limit.

After all, my family is not a Sanhao family, and these businessmen will not give in so easily.

Share more benefits to the merchants who travel along the Hokuriku Road. I hope that the business route of the Shiba family can reach Echigo next year. "

Imai Zongjiu wondered.

"In this way, we will have to bleed a lot, and even if we are willing to give up the profit, we are afraid that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble and ask for more."

Takada Yono smiled coldly and said.

"Hime Imai, you have to change your thinking.

Now you are a samurai, not a businessman, so don't haggle over everything from the standpoint of a businessman.

Our foundation is not money, but the Shiba family. As long as the Shiba family can be strong, all efforts are worthwhile.

The Lord ordered the opening of the Hokuriku Road, and there must be a reason for the family's decision.

This is an order, it cannot be questioned, do you understand? "

Imai Zongjiu panicked, kowtowed to the ground.

"My Imai family is loyal to Kenshin-kun, Takata-sama, don't misunderstand.

I just said a few more words because I was afraid that I would not be able to complete His Highness's task if I didn't think carefully.

Business negotiation is also a game. These businessmen are treacherous. Once my family reveals an urgent need, they will inevitably be bitten to death and pursue more benefits.

I worry that bloodletting will only make them more greedy and make it difficult to continue. "

Gao Tianyang shook his head and said.

"That's why I said, you are still a businessman's idea.

We are the samurai family, we have the right to let them die, is the benefit of the Shiba family so easy to take?

I will contact Mitsuhide Akechi and ask her to negotiate with the allies of the Shiba family.

Merchants who support the Shiba family to open up the Hokuriku Road will receive preferential treatment in the territory of the Shiba Hosokawa Mibuchi family.

Even the Asai family will provide convenience, and Master Owari Maeda Toshiie can help.

Merchants who do not respect my Shiba family will be severely sanctioned. As for how to punish these bastards, it is up to you to decide.

After all, you know their pain points better, so you are the most suitable candidate. "

Imai Zongjiu was fascinated when he heard it.

Back then, she was a businessman, and she deeply hated the Wu family's use of power to wantonly suppress businessmen and do whatever they wanted.

Now she has become a samurai, and she is Shang Fengxing of the Gaomen Shibo branch.

It is indescribably refreshing to use the power of the samurai family to bully those old friends who like to think they are smart. The sweetness of power is so wonderful.

Master Takata is right, in the Wu family society, a businessman is just a puppet, whoever dares to punish him too much is not worth worrying about.

The Shiba family is the leader of the powerful local faction in the shogunate. How can a humble merchant offend such a high-ranking nobleman have a good life.

You only need to catch one or two ignorant people to make an example of them, and the trouble will be solved naturally.

She bowed heartily.

"Master Takada is wise."

Yang Nai glanced at her and said.

"Remember, we are warriors.

Your status is already different, so don't worry about those money transactions when you do things in the future.

As long as the Shiba family is strong, we will have more and more rights.With rights, you are not afraid of not having money.

The Shinsengumi's existence in Sakai Port is not for making money, but to cooperate with the Shiba family's strategy and assist the expansion of the family business. "

Imai Zongjiu let out a hi, more respectful.

Takada Yono learned quickly, and within half a year after coming to Sakai Port, she understood the essence of a businessman.

Merchants value profits. In order to make profits, they can sell the ropes that hang themselves.

The merchants are humble, under the sword of the Wu family, they are willing to offer money in exchange for reproduction, and the weakness of the wealthy is clearly seen.

The villains of the villagers and the samurai hunters are ruthless, while the businessmen will only look for big trees and become vines clinging to the trees, clinging to the strong.

The warriors oppressed them and humiliated them, the methods were too rough.

Takada Yono has his own ideas, and looks down on the superficial methods of the samurai to treat merchants.

Her eyes are not only fixed on Sakai Port, but also the distant Kitakyushu Hakata Port.

As long as you can control the trade routes in Kansai, you can control the merchants in Sakai Port and Hakata, and you can control all the commercial routes in Kansai.

This represents a huge amount of money, and a huge material supply behind the money.

The Takata family does not have the ability to obtain military merit from the battle, so she can only use the power of money to serve the Lord in order to gain his favor.

Thinking of this, Takada Yoshino felt hot all over and couldn't restrain himself.

With cold eyes, she said to Imai Zonghisa.

"Give me a firm hold on the right to participate in [-]% of the military supplies, and clarify the direction of all military supplies trade in Sakai Port.

Negotiations with merchants on the front line of the Hokuriku Road, I don't care how you operate, coercion or bribery or murder, the business route of Shiba's family will lead to Echigo next year.

These two things must be done without error. "

"Hi!"

Yango turned to look at Yuihama Yui again, and said.

"The Shinsengumi is ready. If something goes wrong, it will be dealt with according to Ikedaya's old rules."

"Hi!"

After speaking, she looked into the distance with firm eyes.

My lord, Yang Nai will never let you down.
