"It's so stubborn!" Du Fei couldn't help but said, "I don't believe it! Only Hirado in Japan can get the goods? Which port is the only one?"
"Yes, there is," Shimai reluctantly raised his head from the counter and said, "But it is in Kaimachi, a distant place in Kinki, Izumi Province. It seems to be controlled by another business district, so it's not easy to talk to. Besides, it's not easy to talk to.
It seems that the monks from the Honganji Temple control the place, and they will charge an additional 20% tax from outside merchants!"
Du Fei was confused when he heard this: "What? A monk can also control Shangding? What kind of monk is that?"
So there are no great wonders in the world. Are the Chinese warrior monks good enough? They are said to be the best in the world in martial arts, but they dare not come close to the second place. But compared to the monks of the Jodo Shin sect (Buddhist school) in Japan, they are really
A small witch can see a big witch. Although the martial arts of these Japanese monks are not very good, their ambitions are not small.
The Jodo Shin sect abolished all the rules and regulations and eliminated all red tape that might reduce the number of believers. It preached that as long as you wholeheartedly follow the Buddha and obey the Buddha's wishes, you can achieve positive results. As a result, the number of believers increased greatly, and many rebel soldiers and peasants lost their land.
Monks from all over the country have joined in, and there are a large number of believers in Kinki, Hokuriku, Tokai and other states. At its peak, the number of believers reached 300,000!
You may ask, what do so many people rely on to eat and drink Lhasana? The answer is that it is still the same old routine, occupying the mountain as the king, occupying the land as the respect, collecting rent and protection fees without falling behind! It’s just that the clothes they wear are different
That's all. These Jodo Shinshu monks do not farm or weave, and they are not seen chanting the Buddha's name. They are constantly expanding their ranks of monks and soldiers, and constantly instigating the people of nearby daimyo territories to revolt in the name of the Buddha, causing those daimyo to revolt.
You have a headache, but there is nothing you can do: If you are not convinced, try beating him. Hundreds of thousands of believers across the country will immediately trample you!
With Ishiyama Honganji as the center and Zaga, Oyama and Daishoji as their strongholds, they continued to expand! They not only controlled the monks, they had become a warlord organization in the guise of Buddha, and because they controlled important port areas
The town has a large number of firearms purchased from foreign countries and is quite difficult to mess with.
After listening to Shimai's description, Du Fei began to meditate: If you stay in such a small place all the time, you won't be able to find out about the ghosts and beasts. It's better to take this opportunity to go out and see the world.
Some in-demand products are here to relieve Shimai's embarrassment, and secondly~~without spending any of his own money~
When he expressed this idea to Shimai, Shimai was worried: the road from Zhenmachi to Kaimachi was long and winding, and it would take more than ten days at the most. If the journey was too long, accidents would easily occur. He was afraid that he would
Both people and money were lost.
But when he thought about his recent dismal business, he agreed immediately and sent two more clever and well-versed helpers, Miki Kosuke and Kiyobei, to go with him.
Du Fei returned home and wanted to say goodbye to He Hezi. As soon as he opened the door, he saw He Hezi with half of his shoulders exposed, repairing the hole in his sleeve with thousands of stitches. When Du Fei came in, she hurriedly repaired the hole in her sleeve.
She pulled her clothes! The needle in her hand accidentally pricked her finger, and she couldn't help but scream out in pain.
"You're back~" Hehezi blushed and saluted Du Feifei out of habit. One finger on his right hand kept leaking blood. It seemed that the prick just now was not serious.
Du Fei quickly knelt down and held her injured hand: "It's okay? Why are you so careless!"
"I'm sorry~~He Hezi is too stupid~~" He Hezi felt a little unnoticeable excitement in his heart when he saw Du Fei coming closer.
Du Fei had already smelled the faint fragrance of Hehezi, and he even heard her heartbeat like a deer. For the first time, he discovered that Hehezi's eyes were actually very beautiful.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting "Shh~~~"! It turned out that it was Kantsutsu who was sweating profusely from playing outside and came back. He smiled when he saw the embarrassed expressions of the two adults.
While covering his eyes: "I can't see! I can't see!"
Du Fei suddenly stood up: "Hehezi, don't sew that old dress anymore! I'm going to Jie Town for shopping soon, and I'll buy you a decent dress by the way!"
"Ah? Don't be like this~~I already feel very sorry to live here with you~~Don't waste any more~" Hehezi bowed deeply.
Du Fei hurriedly packed a few pieces of clothing and hit the road.
When he led Miki and Kiyobei to the town gate, he suddenly felt as if someone was following them behind him. When he looked back, he seemed to see a thin figure that suddenly avoided his sight.
It must be her.
Du Fei's heart felt hot and he really wanted to turn around but was afraid that she would be embarrassed.
So he was determined and strode out of the town gate.
