Win the Ding 1617

The two-post firecrackers specially transferred to perform for Matsudaira Nobuzuna made him an eye-opener!

It turns out that iron cannons can still be used like this!

Hundreds of firecrackers lined up in three rows with an interval of more than two meters, so as not to hinder their respective matchlocks. (Perhaps some friends want to ask, why don’t you take out the flintlock guns? Aren’t those already the mainstream firearms of the protagonist’s army? Nonsense! Don’t you plan to sell matchlock guns, which are about to be eliminated, to devils in large quantities? )

The queue about seven steps apart moved forward slowly against the rain of arrows on the opposite side. Of course, those arrows had their arrows removed and replaced with dye, so that people could count the number of injuries, deaths, and loss of combat effectiveness.When they walked fifty steps away from the opposing army, a brass horn sounded. Everyone took off the firecrackers from their shoulders, blew on the matchlocks, checked the medicine pool to fill with projectiles, and raised the firecrackers to pull them together amidst the officer's command. trigger!

The dense three rows of projectiles beat nearly a thousand neatly arranged scarecrows on the opposite side to simulate the military formation. After being passed by the hot projectiles, many scarecrows began to smoke and burn, and the school field was filled with smoke for a while. The flames soared, making it more and more shocking how powerful this round of shooting was.

"It turns out that iron cannons have such amazing power when they shoot at close range. If they are used to deal with the soldiers and horses of the southwestern feudal lords, it should be simple and effective. As long as some ashigaru are recruited and trained to use the iron cannons, the power of the iron cannons is comparable to that of the big cylinder! "

Nobuzuna Matsudaira decided to be bold once and use all the funds that were going to be used to buy the big cannon to buy iron cannons!

"Master Changshi, do you know how many iron cannons the General can sell to our country?" Elder Songping had a sincere smile on his face.

"That's up to you, Mr. Lao Zhong! How much do you plan to buy. We can sell you as much as you want!"

For some reason, the smile on Li Peilin's face always reminds me of the old fox who stole the chicken.

"Then, is it still one forty guan, with twenty rounds of containment medicine?!"

Matsudaira Nobutsuna calculated nervously, and repeated the price of matchlock guns sold by the Nanzhong Army before.

However, this time he was very surprised.

Li Peilin raised an index finger and shook it, "No, no, no! That's the previous price of [-] Guan, and now the price needs to be adjusted."

Hearing Pei Lin's words, no matter how good Matsudaira Nobutsuna was, he couldn't help cursing in his heart. "Bage Yale! You group of unfaithful things! You bastards! Seeing that we plan to buy your things, let's sit and raise the price!"

But on second thought, who can blame this?To blame, it seems that the Shimadzu family should be criticized first. They were the ones who raised prices when the Nanzhong Army was in trouble, and made a lot of ill-gotten wealth.This led to the Nanzhong Army wanting to make up for losses within the dike and outside the dike in the arms trade with the Tokugawa shogunate.

"In view of the fact that General Tokugawa's purpose of purchasing these materials and weapons is to maintain the stability and harmony in Fusang. After the general's approval, we are going to give preferential policies in this trade with Fusang."

After seeing Matsudaira Nobuzuna's face change like a kaleidoscope.Only then did Li Peilin slowly say the answer.

As soon as these words came out, Songping Laozhong almost shouted that the general has completed the competition!

Nobuzuna Matsudaira was overjoyed to be able to maintain the original price transaction.And on this basis, there are still some discounts, how can this not make him suspect that when he prayed to God Amaterasu last night on Tianzhu Huji, he was heard by the god who watched this scene of hand-to-hand combat in the sky, and guaranteed it with supreme magic power fulfillment of this wish.

"Master Changshi, please forward this report to Lord General. I will conquer the shogunate of the Great General of Yi, and I will definitely buy it. I will buy three thousand iron cannons!"

After a little calculation, Mr. Matsudaira reported a figure that was enough to deter the entire Japanese archipelago.

"I wonder if the general will allow it?"

With some apprehension and anticipation, Matsudaira Nobutsuna looked forward to Li Peilin's reply with the mood of a child hoping to get toys and new clothes from his parents.

"Three thousand? Are you only going to buy these? What about other items?"

Li Peilin's purpose today is completely a taste of clearance sale.

So, I was hit by the uneasy state of mind again.If there were a sphygmomanometer today, Matsudaira Nobutsuna's blood pressure is estimated to have gone back and forth between [-] and [-] many times, and his emotions are like a roller coaster.Flying into the sky for a while, rushing into the trough for a while.

"Now there is such an opportunity, if you buy one more iron cannon now, it is equivalent to buying two more!"

Li Peilin's words were full of mystery and temptation.

These words make Matsudaira Nobuzuna fall into the clouds and mist for five miles.

What does it mean to buy two iron cannons for the price of one iron cannon?

What kind of logic is this?How to calculate such a result?

"Master Songping was able to send urgently needed medicines all the way to our South China Army when the epidemic was prevalent, which shows his kindness. I will not treat you as an outsider. The key to making this iron cannon is that the gun barrel is the most difficult to make. My South China Army Even with all the staff working overtime every month, the monthly output is only a few thousand gun barrels. Except for the equipment of the various camps, the number that can be sold for export is only a few hundred per month. At present, there are only six thousand gun barrels in the warehouse. Yu Zhi, my general intends to sell this batch of firecrackers at once, I wonder if the old middle-aged man can be the master?"

Six thousand iron cannons?Forty guan for each, even if there is a discount, at least 24 guan must be prepared, plus other purchases, even if the general spends all his income this year, it may not be enough!

At this time, behind him, an accompanying warrior reported to him in his native dialect in a low voice.

"My lord, my subordinate met Mr. Kazuo Koga of the Shimadzu family on the pier a few days ago. He was carrying gold and silver from the ship, and my subordinate chatted with his subordinates. It is said that Mr. Shimadzu also intends to Purchase iron cannon armor and other items in large quantities!"

What this samurai said made Nobuzuna Matsudaira seem like seeing the sun behind the clouds!

It turns out that the so-called buying two iron cannons for the price of one iron cannon originated from this!

good!It takes time and effort to manufacture iron cannons, and the output of the Tanegashima guns that the Shimadzu family is proud of is no more than a hundred per month!If he bought all the guns from Nanzhong, which is famous for producing firearms, the Shimadzu family would not be able to buy enough iron guns to equip a team of iron guns.Didn't it just cost one to buy two iron cannons?

I have one more here, and you have one less there!One in and one out, isn't it just two iron cannons?

Thinking of meeting on the battlefield in the future, when thousands of iron artillery teams under his command rained bullets on the Shimadzu family's team, but the Shimadzu family was helpless, Matsudaira Nobuzuna decided to buy it!

However, in order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to seek soft words from the Nanzhong General's Mansion.Say something nice.Let them agree that they can transport these goods in time and installments, and pay the price.

"Master Changshi, I bought all these iron cannons on behalf of General Tokugawa!"

Maybe it's because of the broken guts.Matsudaira Nobuzuna-sama looked extremely bold.

"It's just that there are two things that Master Chang Shi needs to understand!"

One is the issue of payment.Don't say anything else.These 20 iron cannons alone cost at least more than 20 guan, which is more than [-] in silver dollars.But the same Nanzhong Tongbao is enough to make the daimyos unite to overthrow the Tokugawa family.

According to the book "Old Records of Iwami Silver Mountain", as early as 1309 (the 2nd year of Yanqing), when Zhou Fangguo daimyo Ouchi Hiroyuki visited Ishijian country, there was silver mining when he visited the Big Dipper Miaojian Bodhisattva. Later, the minister helped the Ouchi family to excavate the underground silver veins in March 1526 (Dayong 6) from the owner of the copper mountain in Izumo, Tianyi Village, Ouchi Yoshiko. After Ouchi Yoshitaka succeeded to the throne, in 3 (the 1533nd year of Tianwen), he recruited craftsmen through Hakata businessman Kamiya Toshisada, and greatly increased the production of silver with the ash blowing method, a refined technique learned from overseas.At that time, Japan's silver output was about 2 tons per year at its peak, and the Iwami Silver Mine produced 200 tons (million taels) at its peak, worth about 38 guan.

Therefore, if these more than 20 Nanzhong Tongbao were in Japan, it would inevitably lead to a situation where groups would attack.If it is exchanged with Japan's domestic currency exchange rate, it will cost more than 2000 million taels of silver!

This is why the daimyos in Kyushu had to undertake the remittance business from the letter bureau to Kyushu.Huge conversion spreads bring huge profits.

However, this problem was easily resolved by the smiling Li Peilin, which immediately made Matsudaira Nobutsuna have the urge to accept his head and worship!

"Since there is such a huge exchange rate difference between the currencies used by the two of you, it is not only not conducive to the exchange of trade, but also easy to be taken advantage of by traitors, so as to expand their strength and covet the big position." Li Peilin almost said it directly. The interests of the southwestern vassals greatly outweighed the damage caused to them by the currency exchange rate.

"Then it's better to ask the old middle-aged adults to discuss with the next, and sign a contract, stipulating the exchange rate and exchange amount between your and our currencies. In this way, for Fusang, Nanzhong and Nanzhong. Ming's trade activities are all beneficial and harmless. I wonder what Mr. Songping thinks?"

Not only Matsudaira Nobutsuna didn't understand what currency swap was, but even Li Peilin, who spoke the word, couldn't understand it.However, this statement and proposal, including so many iron cannons sold to the Tokugawa family today, have all been carefully studied by the senior officials of the Shouhan Tongnan Central Army.

All the old matchlock guns piled up in the warehouse were disposed of at once, and the funds obtained could be used to expand the production scale, add steelmaking blast furnaces, set up several shipyards, and use the already designed new Victory and other main forces Battleships are built.

In many time-travel novels in Shouhan's impression, Zhujiao snatched Ishimi Yinshan and Zuodu Island into his hands as the source of his own industry and army funds.However, what these people did not expect is that if a country has no hard currency, what kind of social crisis will erupt?

The reason why Japan broke out at that time was not the awakening of the Western bourgeoisie consciousness, but because the Western powers headed by the United Kingdom, wantonly exchanged gold and silver in Japan for huge profits.It caused a large amount of gold outflow from Japan, which in turn caused a series of problems.

Shou Han didn't want to lead Japan to another extreme because of short-term pursuit of interests. That was a situation that no amount of gold could clean up.

For a little benefit, leaving a huge hidden danger and evil neighbors to future generations, this is what the guards don't want to see.

The best way is to keep Iwami Ginzan and Sado Island under the control of the shogunate, let the shogunate organize manpower and material resources to mine, and then transport them to Nanzhong one by one to buy various industrial products and The necessities of life, this is just a replica of the means used by the bald eagle to control countries such as Latin America.

Control your economy through currency and tie your economy to my industrial and agricultural system.Make you my vassal, provide me with worker ants, raw materials, and serve as a market for product dumping.

There is absolutely no need to snatch Sado Island and Iwami Silver Mountain, and organize mining and smelting by yourself. You only need to reach a currency transaction with the devil to use the protagonist, and the devil will cry and give away the gold and silver in his home. To "mint" coins for the protagonist.

Such a method is far simpler and easier than dispatching a fleet to wipe out the Japanese countries, and the cost is not the same.

But the effect is several times that of using force.

What a sinister intention!However, in the eyes of Matsudaira Nobuzuna, such a method is another goodwill shown by General Li Nanzhong to the shogunate!

"Master Changshi! I don't know what currency swap you are talking about, how is it exchanged?" Matsudaira Nobuzuna asked Li Peilin, who was in charge of civil affairs and financial affairs of the Nanzhong Army, with a trembling voice.

"In the future, if you and I trade bulk commodities, you will use all the silver and gold coins minted in Nanzhong. If you use silver, you will exchange one tael of silver for one silver coin, and if you use gold, you will exchange two gold coins for one." gold."

In this way, from the perspective of Japan.The gold award for trade with Nanzhong is the most cost-effective.Because the weight of the two gold medals is almost 37 grams.The protagonist's gold coin weighs 50 grams, which contains 37.5 grams of gold, silver and copper. No matter how you count the devil, it is best to use gold to judge.

but.Regarding the internal circulation of Nanzhong Tongbao in Japan.Immediately, Mr. Matsudaira Nobuzuna came to mind.He is very familiar with the strength of Nanzhong Tongbao in Japan as the old middleman in charge of Nanzhong trade, and he has also benefited a lot from the exchange rate difference of Tongbao.Once Tongbao's status is threatened, I'm afraid that all the big names will rebel.

I don't know how many Nanzhong Tongbao hoarded in the treasury of these guys' homes!Once depreciated.It's just a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron. It's no wonder these guys don't rebel!

He said whatever came to his mind now, and he no longer cared about etiquette. He only thought about the neat and orderly strings of bluish-yellow copper coins in his cellar and the general's treasury.

"My lord! What about Nanzhong Tongbao? The status of this thing in our country is far beyond what adults can imagine!" For those ordinary farmers and low-level farmers who obtained dozens of Tongtongbao in Nanzhong by selling their labor and their daughters Samurai, Mr. Matsudaira didn't even bother to think about it. He only cared about the interests of the shogun and his own family. Of course, the interests of his colleagues should also be considered.

"My lord, should we discuss these details in another occasion?"

Li Peilin was a little displeased, this group of fusang dwarves wanted to open a dyeing workshop after giving them three points of color!

Rao Matsudaira Nobuzuna was born with a small surname, and he has long trained his skin to the point where a 32-pound gram cannon can't pierce it, but after hearing Li Peilin's understatement, he also feels that he is a bit too fussy, and he is concerned about money. It looks too big.

When the group left the stands and returned to the General's Mansion, they had a candid and friendly negotiation on how to deepen the trade between Nanzhong and Fusang in the council hall of the mansion.

Nobutsuna Matsudaira has the magic weapon of currency swap, and his courage has grown a lot.It's no wonder that a single Iwami Ginzan can produce millions of taels of silver every year, and if it is exchanged for Nanzhong's silver dollars, it will be millions of silver dollars. Dajinshan.The shogunate has ample currency reserves that can be used to pay for purchased goods!

As a result, Matsudaira Nobutsuna and his trade delegation, like a group of nouveau riche, started purchasing frantically in Nanzhong's foreign trade commodities.

Almost all previously agreed trade volumes have been overturned, at least more than doubled.

Everyone is very clear in their hearts that once the currency swap agreement is approved by General Tokugawa, it will inevitably cause huge price fluctuations in Fuso. Reserve more supplies for yourself and the general!

However, before that, Li Peilin and Matsudaira Nobutsuna had a heated debate in the secret room on the issue of military equipment procurement discounts.

According to Matsudaira Nobuzuna's intention, he planned to pay the price of [-] silver dollars for an iron cannon, while Nanzhong needed to increase the distribution of five rounds of medicine on the original basis.But Li Peilin would not accept such a lion's big mouth anyway.I have already said that I will give you a discount, but you still want a refund?

However, looking at Nobutsuna Matsudaira's loyal expression, Li Peilin suddenly burst into laughter, "Damn it! I forgot the big business, the big money!"

Sure enough, after changing their thinking, the negotiation went much smoother.

"Mr. Songping, how about this? We still trade at the price of 40 yuan per iron cannon, but for every two hundred iron cannons, how about I decide to give your master ten iron cannons?"

Gifts in kind are far more appropriate than discounts.

The ten extra iron cannons for every two hundred, totaled three hundred.Whether it is going back to report to General Tokugawa at the price of 40 yuan each, or looking for a suitable buyer, such as the rich and powerful Osaka ten people, or a warehouse with a lot of gold judges, the nine hundred An iron cannon is a huge temptation.

Soon, a huge military trade was completed.

Immediately afterwards, it is the purchase of various livelihood materials and daily necessities.

However, there is a problem that makes Mr. Matsudaira difficult.

The japonica rice alone costs hundreds of thousands of stones. How can it be transported back to Japan?

"It doesn't matter. If your envoy is willing to add a shipping fee to these prices, we are willing to deliver the goods to Fusang soldiers and civilians. How about handing them over in Edo?"

"By the way, the student dolls of the Naval Academy can also have a chance to go to sea for an internship and see the scenery of the Eastern Ocean."

Li Peilin once again thought of the Oriental customers. (To be continued..)
