different warring states of japan

Chapter 875

Sohisa Imai somewhat understood what Yono Takada meant, and it turned out that he was expecting money from here.

"At the beginning of spring, the share is about [-]% for Hokuriku, [-]% for Tokaido, and half for Nakasendo.

Now that it is nearly summer, there are only about [-]% of the shares left in the war on the Tokaido.There are always people who are unwilling to give up and want to wait and see.

The mountain roads of Nakasendo are difficult to walk, and only a few businesses are willing to walk, and the share of Hokuriku Road's business roads has risen to [-]%. "

Takada Yono squinted his eyes in dissatisfaction.

"Only sixty percent?"

Imai Sohisa smiled a little coldly.

"Some people don't turn their heads, they always have to beat and beat. Don't worry, they won't last long, and I will make them sensible.

This year, [-]% of Hokuriku's share will definitely be completed. Because of the chaos in Tokaido, it will even exceed a lot. "

Takada Yono sneered.

"From [-]% to [-]%, and even more, for more than [-] pieces of goods, at least half of the deposit must be paid, right?

This time I don't want money, just food.

Regardless of whether they stole, robbed, or how they got it, the security deposit can only be paid in the form of grain, which is converted at the usual price of two stones. "

Imai Zong thought for a long time, and the half-percent deposit was more than [-] guan.Calculated in this way, [-] to [-] shi of grain will be available.

she asked.

"If someone has no food, is he willing to pay more as a deposit?
Setjin country stone is only [-] shi high, and we have to collect [-] to [-] shi as a deposit. Even if the merchant is willing to pay, there is not so much grain on the market. "

Takada Yoshino said categorically.

"Where is there room for them to bargain? I only collect rice, not even wheat.

Which of these big businessmen who can form caravans has no background at all?The Osaka Plain where the Settsu Kingdom is located is not complete. Kyushu, Shikoku, and Western Countries are all gone?

From Kitakyushu Hakata Port to Sakai Port on the east coast of the Seto Inland Sea, there are so many ports along the way.Can't squeeze out any food?Do you think I'm a fool?

At most, the cost is a little higher, and two times and three times are exchanged for a stone of grain.Aren't they determined to follow the Tōkaidao trade route and must oppose me?
Now I am magnanimous and allow them to go back on their word, why?Still want to bargain?
I use the usual price of two stones to collect grain as a deposit, and they have to pay for it themselves no matter how big the loss is.This is for them to have a long-term heart, and to be more respectful to the Shiba family in the future.

If you can't bear this punishment, and you can't afford this amount of money, then you don't need to use the Hokuriku Road trade route to beg for food, and you don't need to pay attention to this kind of businessman who has no vision. "

Imai Sohisa nodded in understanding.

Takada Yono is passing on the high market price cost of buying grain to these merchants who hope to squeeze into the Hokuriku Road trade route, and reap the benefits for themselves.

Takada Yono said again.

"The Omi country stone is nearly [-] stone high, and the Nobi Plain stone is over one million. The remaining less than [-] stone should be bought from these two places, but we should not take it lightly.

Kita Omi Asai's family has been resting and recuperating this year, so they should have surplus food. I will ask Fujido Toraka to help me find a way in Kita Omi.

There was civil strife in the Liujiao family in Nanjinjiang, and the governor's control over the local area was weakened by the Liujiao family.

I will find Yoshitsugu Otani, a retainer of Shiba who was born in Minami Omi, and find a way to buy some from the local samurai.

As for the Nobi Plains, we can only wait for the negotiation between Maeda Toshiie and His Highness Oda, let's prepare the goods and coins.

If the Oda family is willing to sell, the amount of [-] koku is only a lot more.If His Highness Oda refuses, increase the guarantee amount of the Hokuriku Road trade route to make up for the gap. "

Takada Yoshino didn't want to push the Sakai Port businessmen too hard, making money with kindness. Many things have been overdone, which is not good for anyone.

But if the Oda family can't make sense, in order to collect [-] koku, Takada Yono can only increase the deposit.Political tasks must be guaranteed first, and commercial troubles will be discussed later.

Imai Sohisa had no objection to Takada Yono's arrangement, and what she was most worried about was not the food itself, but Miyoshi's family.

"My lord, what about Miyoshi's house?
If we buy grain like this, the price of grain in Setjin country and even the whole of recent days will be pushed up.There will even be businessmen going to Shikoku to buy grain as a deposit, which will affect the stability of Miyoshi's family in Awa country.

Miyoshi's family is already in the sunset, and it is getting worse day by day.But at this time, her family became more sensitive.

In case our behavior of buying grain caused a fierce reaction from the Miyoshi family. . "

Sohisa Imai's idea is very realistic.

Takada Yono is rich and powerful, but she doesn't have a sword.The ten Ji Samurai of the Shinsengumi and the swordsmen of Mibu Lang can only be used as law and order forces.

If the Miyoshi family turned their backs and sent their troops into Sakai Port to rob Shiba's granary, what would Yono Takada do to fight the army?
Takada Yono narrowed his eyes and said uncertainly.

"Don't put all the grain harvested in Sakai Port, and place it nearby along the trade route, um..."

Halfway through the talk, she also felt embarrassed.

This is food, the hard currency of rice in troubled times.Not to mention the large size, it is not easy to store, just the greed of the people below, it is difficult to guard against self-theft.

The more dispersed the storage, the higher the management cost, and the result will be even worse.

Just as she was hesitating how to solve this problem, there was another knock on the door.

"what's up?"

"My lord, Akechi Mitsuhide-sama has an urgent letter for you."

"come in."

"Hi!"

Yuigahama Yui opened the door again and came in. This time Imai Sohisa respectfully bowed slightly to her to show respect.

Takada Yono still looked impatient, and asked Yuigahama Yui to put down the letter and leave.

This time, she tore open the letter so rudely that she no longer treated the master's letter with the same care as before.

After reading the letter at a glance, Yono Takada handed the letter to Sohisa Imai with doubts on his face.

Imai Sojiu hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should watch it or not.Takada Yono frowned, she quickly took the letter with both hands, and looked at it quickly.

After reading it, Imai Sojiu couldn't help but let out a sigh, carefully looked at Takada Yono's face, and said.

"Master, what does Akechi Mitsuhide-sama mean by this? She told us to just collect food and use the name of the shogunate to cover it up. On the shogunate side, she will deal with us."

"Strictly speaking, the food that the imperial platform needs to buy is indeed the shogunate's food.

Although the food would eventually go to Echigo along the Hokuriku Road trade route, the Miyoshi family did not dare to snatch it under the cover of Mitsuhide Akechi.

General Ashikaga suppressed the shogunate and reorganized the majesty of the shogunate. Over the past year, his power has been flourishing.

However, Miyoshi's family is going from bad to worse, Tanba country is in chaos, and Shikoku's side is said to be not peaceful.After the death of Miyoshi Changqing, the Tozuo Iyo and the two samurai families have become disobedient.

Akechi Mitsuhide may have guessed my difficulty, and pulled a shogunate tiger skin for me to prevent the Miyoshi family from robbing the food I bought.

But I always felt that something was wrong. Although she did this, the Miyoshi family did not dare to mess around for a while, but the blame would eventually fall on the shogunate, General Ashikaga.

The rapprochement agreement that the lord had brokered for the Miyoshi family and the shogunate might not last long. "
