A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"By the way, Matsudaira Mikawa Mamoru of Mikawa also ordered fifty Sakai Iron Cannons from me."

It seemed that Sukezaemon had done quite a bit of business before he came, and he must have extorted a huge sum of money from the Mikawa native.

"Oh? Matsudaira Mikawa Mamoru? How much does one cost?" Kodaira hasn't heard from Mikawa for a long time.

"A Seventeen-Guan Shogun, hahahahahaha." "Oh, it's a big deal. I made a lot of money helping Zaemon."

Sukezaemon waved his hand and killed the thug in Mikawa. It was not an easy matter.

"I remember that the Anxiang Matsudaira family was re-established not long ago. How could they have such financial resources?" Koheta saw that Matsudaira Ieyasu only had a mere Okazaki Castle. Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to be able to come up with a huge amount of 850 kan at once. payment.

"Originally, I was afraid that Mikawa Shou would use rice at a discount, but this one has roped in a good helper."

Sukezaemon was so excited that he talked as if he was reading a novel. Matsudaira Ieyasu was just the lord of Okazaki Castle. He was a small lord who didn't have ten thousand guan. His family had just been revived, so he was naturally a poor man.

But he had no money, but he deceived a rich master. The Suruga Imagawa clan was originally appointed as the governor of Nishi Mikawa and the Torii Iga Mamoru and Torii Tadayoshi of Natsuda County.

It's okay if you're not familiar with him. He also has a very famous son named Torii Motochu. Torii Motochu was guarded by 800 soldiers in Fushimi, and all of them were defeated. Everyone knows this guy, probably, and he has many and big deeds.

But at this time, Torii Motochu was still a teenager, so there was no need to care about him. His father Tadayoshi Torii is the real boss at this time, so where is the boss?

Torii Tadayoshi served as the envoy and acting official of Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, and also served as the envoy of the Imagawa clan. What is even more exaggerated is that Oda Nobunaga called and appointed Matsudaira Ieyasu as the lord of Okazaki Castle. He was also the head of Natsuda County. "Domestic slaves with three surnames" is nothing more than this.

Moreover, such a roly-poly evergreen tree in the political arena has extremely high methods. He imposes unreasonable taxes and extortionate taxes, but there must be a lot of fish and meat for the common people.

In the end, a huge amount of Yongle money was accumulated that filled the entire rice warehouse. The money ropes were rotten and uncountable. The richest person in Mikawa Kingdom today is definitely Torii Iga Mamoru, who has so much money that he can't even count him.

However, his eldest son and second son died in the conflicts between various major forces. When he was old, he was left with two sons, in order to pave the way for Torii Motochu. He generously donated all of Yimikang's money to Matsudaira Ieyasu. This trick was extremely effective.

First of all, the "three surnamed family slaves" became "one loyal minister of the whole country", and then Torii Motada's official career was smooth, and he directly became Matsudaira Ieyasu's close advisor and became a close confidant.

With one meter of cash, Matsudaira Ieyasu immediately took off and bought and bought. Before coming, he and the Yamauchi family bought dozens of Shinano colts. Now I have bought fifty more iron cannons. I am absolutely stupid and have a lot of money. Come quickly!

Sukezaemon and several businessmen were brought to the rice warehouse by Matsudaira Ieyasu, and they were very proud to move with all their strength, fully experiencing the taste of a rich man.

According to Sukezaemon, Matsudaira Ieyasu still had at least half a meter of Yongle money stored there, and he was preparing to flex his muscles and empty out this Mikawa country bumpkin's fortune.

"Since you have a way, why not let me help you find a way." Xiao Pingtai suddenly came up with a plan.

"You know the big barrel, right? It shakes the earth when it hits, and it can shoot fifteen bullets at a time." Xiaopingta showed a devilish smile.

"Is this the big tube that exploded under Fuchu Castle before? Is it reliable?" Sukezaemon had obviously heard of this.

"Come on, come on, I'll show you, seeing is believing." Koheita said, stood up, took Sukezaemon's hand and walked out of the house without hesitation.

Chenzo immediately took an oil-paper umbrella, and Nanosuke also brought the straw sandals to Heita.

Xiao Pingtai was wearing kapok socks, but her feet still felt cold when she put her feet into the straw sandals. Well, it's heartbreaking. It seems that the rumor that our Nanosuke does not have straw sandals covering his chest has been passed down through the ages. It seems that the young man's understanding is not good enough.

However, this matter was immediately put aside, and Koheita took Sukezaemon and rushed to the iron cannon workshop. He ordered the craftsman to pull out a large barrel and test the cannon to Sukezaemon.

For Sukezaemon, who had never seen the Hyakuko Boroji, the roaring barrel and the broad strike surface of more than ten rounds at a time. He immediately realized the business opportunity, and the "golden" light in his eyes flashed.

"How much does a big tube cost? Don't bully me, Tansei." Sukezaemon got straight to the point.

"If it's the cost price, it's thirty or forty guan, but if it's sold to Matsudaira Mikawa Mamoru, how about 200 guan?" Xiaoping had asked Yamauchi Yoshikatsu a long time ago. If someone wanted the big tube, he would sell it. Anyway, he had a Buddha. I'm done with it, I really don't care about the big tube anymore.

As long as the price is right, you can sell it. Anyway, in a few years, big tubes will slowly appear everywhere, and eventually they will be available all over the country, and they will become a popular commodity.

"Two hundred kan? This price is not cheap." Sukezaemon sighed, but his face was filled with the image of a profiteer like Koheita, who is so bad and black, I like it.

"Don't you want to rely on Sukezaemon and your clever words to help me sell it to Matsudaira Mikawa Mamoru?" Kodaira raised his eyebrows, and his ugly face became even uglier, but Sukezaemon didn't care at all.

So the two people immediately made a plan. Nawu sent a guy who was good at iron cannons. After he came over and learned the operation of the big barrel, he directly gave the big barrel for the test cannon to Sukezaemon and asked him to boldly Go fool the thugs from Sanhe.

However, Otsutsu only gives him five pieces a month, so take it easy and don't fool Matsudaira Ieyasu. If you buy ten pieces or twenty pieces, the Yamauchi family won't be able to deliver that much.

…

Sukezaemon's mouth was unparalleled when it came to selling goods. Not even half a month later, the news had spread back to Yamauchi.

Two hundred tubes per tube, Matsudaira Ieyasu needs six large tubes. It is best to arrive before the year, but if not, it will have to be delivered at the end of the first month. We also need to teach people how to launch and reload.

It's nothing to worry about, it's a piece of cake.

And the huge profit of 900 kan, four or six opened, helped Zaemon four and Yamauchi family six. Everyone was happy, except for a certain old turtle who was cheated but was still happily stroking his big tube.

Kodaira secretly thought that if a few years later, Matsudaira Ieyasu saw the Folan gun and the Dutch-made Kabalin bronze cannon in the future, he would probably tear Sukezaemon, who was currently cheating him, into eight pieces. Fei Fei has all his thoughts.

But now, hahahahaha! Anyway, Matsudaira Ieyasu finally made such a windfall, but it was completely deceived by the combination of Koheita and Sukezaemon.

The path for the Matsudaira family to unify Nishi Mikawa is long again.
