Chapter 720 Another Power

Near the west, Sakai Port, Miyoshi's house.

Miyoshi Masayasu looked impatiently at Tsuda Zongji who came to ask for an interview, seeing her humble and flattering face, he felt annoyed.

"What are you doing here?"

Tsuda Zongji felt sorry for him.

For the sake of business success, she kept courting Miyoshi Zhengkang and donated countless property.

But when the Shiba merchants followed Takada Yono and used the Shinsengumi to punish her, Miyoshi Masayasu ignored her, making her a joke of the entire Sakai-Hong Kong merchants.

Even so, she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, and continued to worship the big brother of the Sanhao family.

Military is expensive and merchants are cheap, this is the fate of merchants.She was very jealous of Imai Sohisa, and the Shiba family even gave a businessman the status of the Samurai family.

I really don't know what to say!
Tsuda Zonghe bowed to the ground and said carefully.

"My lord, Sakai Port is not peaceful these days.

The monk of Yixiangzong didn't know what was going on, and suddenly entered the area of ​​Sakai Port and beheaded the Tucang steward, which caused shock in the congregation.

The ten people in Nawu discussed the matter, and Imai Zongjiu tried his best to smooth it out, but Qian Rikyu pretended to be confused and didn't care about it.

But this matter has caused panic among many businessmen. Would you please come forward to appease the emotions of the businessmen so as not to affect the stability of Sakai Port. "

Tsuda Zongji weighed his words carefully, and secretly looked at Miyoshi Masayasu's face.

Sakai Port is an autonomous port for merchants, and the Wu family doesn't understand business, they just ask for money and supplies.

No matter who occupies Sakai Port, in order to ensure that the hen that lays golden eggs can continue to provide taxes, the samurai family generally does not intervene in specific management.

Set up a customs office to collect taxes, and leave the specific affairs to the merchants in Sakai Port to manage.And Sakai Port merchants also like this model, lest the stupid samurai pretend to understand and cause everyone to lose money.

The Sakai Gathering is a joint organization of merchants in Sakai Port. The ten people headed by Naya Ten are composed of the ten strongest merchants in Sakai Port, and the host is Sen Rikyu, a wholesaler.

Qianjia was originally a shogunate samurai who fled to Sakai Port after the defeat of the political struggle in Kyoto.Although forced to engage in business, Qianjia, who has samurai blood, is naturally more noble than the merchants in Sakai and Hong Kong.

There are ten people in the Nawu, the highest status is Senri Kyu, the head of Senke's generation, and the most financially powerful is Imai Sohisa, followed by Tsuda Soki.

These three people are called the three tea people, and they are representatives of the merchants in Sakai and Hong Kong.

The status of the merchants is low, and the tea ceremony is a tool for them to get closer to the samurai family. The big merchants are the big tea masters.

Tea is a luxury, learning the tea ceremony, tasting tea and serving tea is an art that requires a lot of money to spend.

The tea party is a way for businessmen to offer offerings to the Wu family. We are all decent people, so we can’t bring carts of copper coins to the door of the Wu family, right?
It is not proper for the Wu family to accept money from merchants, and the nobles ask for money from the sluts!
Wu family society is respectful and orderly, and businesses need a form with a sense of ritual if they want to get closer to the Wu family.Through tea parties and gifts, the samurai's self-esteem is satisfied, and they appear to be cultured.

In the final analysis, this tradition is hypocritical.

Miyoshi Masayasu looked at the sincere Tsuda Muneki and sneered in his heart.

This person has bad intentions.

This time, it was the manager of Tucang who had always been murdered. He seemed to be involved in the internal affairs of Sakai Port, but he was actually cleaning up his own house.

Tsuda Zongji came to sue, in fact, he wanted to kill people with a knife, so that Miyoshi Masayasu came forward to clean up Takada Yono.

At the beginning, Takada Yona forcibly robbed Tsuda Zongji's warehouse. As Tsuda Zonghe and his asylum, Miyoshi Masayasu was busy with Miyoshi's internal strife, worried about the reaction of the shogunate, and did not support Tsuda Zongji.

This incident was very embarrassing to Miyoshi Zhengyasu and made her very angry.Tsuda Zongji saw her intentions, and used the topic to give full play to Miyoshi Masayasu's reason to clean up Shiba Shinsengumi.

Miyoshi Zhengyasu said calmly.

"I have negotiated with me about Zongzong's entry into Sakai Port before, and I have allowed this matter."

Tsuda Zongji was stunned for a moment, did she care if Yixiang Zong reported it?

not give a damn about!She was looking for an excuse to torment Imai Sohisa and Takada Yono behind him.But why didn't Miyoshi Zhengyasu take over?
Tsuda Zongji thought about it, and said tentatively.

"When Zongzong entered Sakai Port, Ronzo Konishi and other businessmen were very panicked..."

"To shut up!"

Miyoshi Masayasu glared at Tsuda Zongji, this bastard couldn't understand her calm attitude, and insisted on making trouble.

Can this matter be put on the table?Miyoshi Zhengkang dare not touch this one.

Because, this is a more brutal fight than a samurai fight, a religious fight.

Ronzo Konishi is the largest medicine dealer in Sakai Port.Although medicinal materials are not as profitable as Dulaiqian, soil warehouses, and arms, medicinal material dealers are also very profitable in the samurai society where wars continue.

Of course, Miyoshi Zhengkang does not care about the financial resources of medicinal material suppliers.In her eyes, Imai Zonghisa, a big businessman engaged in foreign money and arms, was nothing more than a bigger ant.

The most troublesome identity of little Nishi Longzuo is a Nanman believer. She is one of the leaders of the Nanman believers in Sakai Port.

The Nanban trade introduced not only advanced technologies such as iron cannons, but also troublesome things such as Nanban religion.

Especially the southern barbarians of the Western Portuguese group, what they are most passionate about is not trade, but missionary work.Trade may not make money, but faith must be spread.

How many years have the Iron Cannon been passed on, and how many years have the Nanman Cult been passed on.

Today, the Nanman religion has three major dioceses in Japan, namely Kyushu, Kyoto, and Edo, with two to three hundred thousand followers, and it has become a trend.

On the one hand, the followers of the Nanban sect led by Xiao Xilonzo enjoy the priority of the Nanman trade, and on the other hand, their low status is attracted by the idea of ​​equality that the Nanman sect is the lamb of the Lord.

They grouped together under the banner of the Nanban Sect, and had already formed a considerable force in the east coast of the Seto Inland Sea centered on Sakai Port.

Sakai Port is a free port. Tsuda Zonghe mentioned that Yixiang Zong entered the port to kill people, and the Southern barbarians such as Konishi Lonzuo panicked. This is blatantly provoking religious conflicts. Miyoshi Zhengyasu dares to take this talk?

Why would she mix in the fights of religious lunatics who don't even care about profit and can die for their beliefs.

The Honganji Temple of the Ichiko sect was originally located on the Hokuriku Road, but it was destroyed and relocated several times, and finally settled in the Ishiyama Honganji Temple on the edge of Sakai Port.

Are the old sects of Tiantai Sect and Shingon Sect showing mercy, or are they unwilling to drive them away?

Faith is not a dinner party, but a complete destruction and reconquest from the body to the spirit.Kneel or die, there is no room for compromise.

Ishiyama Honganji Temple has gained a firm foothold in Xijinji, and even expanded its beliefs. Whose interests will be harmed?

Ichigomune sits in Settsu, Izumi, and Hanoi's Shishan area at the junction of the three countries. Hiei, Koya, and Wakayama are all ignored, so who is in a hurry?
From Settsu to Kyoto, it is the second largest diocese of Nanbanism in Japan after Kyushu.

In the Kanto Diocese in the Edo area, the influence of the Nanban Sect is weak, the Kanto Samurai there are more conservative, and the Pure Land Sect in the Kamakura area is not vegetarian.

How could it be possible for Miyoshi Zhengyasu to treat Yixiangzong's move to clean up the sect as a religious conflict between Nanbanism and Buddhism.

Can't get through this day?
