Kira Manshomaru and Tsuda Muneki had an in-depth exchange of views on business issues of common concern in a cordial and friendly atmosphere. Although they did not reach a comprehensive consensus, the meeting was generally very successful and very meaningful... In fact
The two of them stared at each other for a long time.
After all, Kira Mansomaru is also a proven master of staring at each other. He even did Kansuke Yamamoto’s one-eyed stare for ten minutes, so would he still be afraid of him? In the end, Nakain Chaotong coughed lightly and reminded: "It seems
There are guests outside, should Zongjidian handle it?"
"...Yes! I'll take care of it now, excuse me!" Tsuda Soji bowed and turned around and ran away.
"Killing with eyes? Humph! I've never been afraid of anyone!" Kira Mansomaru closed his eyes to cultivate the important organs that were overused. He didn't want to think about his identity. He just went on patrol incognito and talked with businessmen.
If the business ends up being stared at for a long time, people will be scared to death if word gets out.
When Tsuda Muneji came back half an hour later, the future head of Tennojiya returned to his sanctimonious appearance and placed a super order without saying a word.
"Fifty passenger carriages and two hundred freight carriages are indeed a big deal." Kira Manshomaru clearly marked the prices of the two types of carriages. Each passenger carriage was 150 guan. The freight carriage was divided into two models according to the size of the carriage.
Twenty guan for the former type and 30 guan for the latter type. One hundred carriages of each type is 5,000 guan, and fifty passenger carriages is 7,500 guan. The total is 12,500 guan. Conservatively
It is estimated that the net profit must be 8,000 yuan. This is not a big deal. What is a big deal?
"It is indeed a well-known commercial house in Kinai. We, the daimyo from far away countries, can't help but feel inferior." Mogami said a few perfunctory words in a nonchalant manner, but Tsuda Muneki didn't take it seriously at all, and then made another suggestion.
Act as an agent for the Kira family's refined sea salt, so he can build a Tennoji salt base.
Kira Manshomaru expressed no interest in his proposal for the time being. He didn't know what Mikawa was like or what kind of capital it would take to open up trade routes. He was beaten by the Oda family by land and by Saji's navy who was pro-Oda by sea.
The last bit of profit was eaten up by Guan, and he still made a penny.
There was no point in continuing to talk about business. Tsuda Muneki turned the topic to casual conversation. He talked about his business career. He took over his first business two years ago and is now a well-known businessman in Tennoji House. In the future, he will
Gradually taking over the business of Tennoji House and carrying it forward, he has always aspired to surpass his grandfather and father and become a great businessman.
"My Tennoji House has many business halls for business meetings in Sakai Town. If Kira-dono needs it, you can borrow it at any time."
With the last promise, Kira Manshomaru left Tennoji House. Not long after he left, Tsuda Sotatsu slowly came from the back hall and said, "You did a good job. Since the Emperor visited Kinki since the Nara period, the streets in Kinki have been repaired."
It is flat and wide, and Nara in the Yamato Kingdom is still the imperial road leading to Settsu Namba. It is not a loss to buy fifty carriages. It is presented to the powerful ministers of the imperial court. The certificate of the Kinai Five Mountains and Five Temples, and the Ishiyama Honganji Temple is like the above.
Sanhao Changqing is also very cost-effective.”
"Yes! Father! This is what I thought before I agreed to this business. Moreover, it is easy for our skilled craftsmen in Sakai Town to imitate a few carriages. I think His Highness Kira would be helpless even if he knew about it!" Tsuda Muneki said proudly.
Smiling like a fox that stole a chicken.
"Just keep these high-ranking shogunate officials at a respectful distance. In terms of importance, it is better to continue to curry favor with the ministers. The generals are driven away by the samurai family time and time again. Only the powerful ministers in the court are the ones who remain the same. You have to remember! Duohe
The comings and goings of intellectuals are good for Tennojiya's business. No matter whether it was Hosokawa Harumoto yesterday or Miyoshi Nagakei today, or whoever will rule Kinki tomorrow, they cannot do without these intellectuals. Today's trip to Nakain's house
Business seems to be going well, and starting from tomorrow, Dongguo’s business will be left to you to take care of."
"Yes! Thank you father for your kindness!" Tsuda Soji quickly bowed down to express his gratitude.
…
To the south of Sakai Town is Izumi Province, and in the eastern part of the country is the next stop, Kawachi Province. Kawachi Genji was born here. Now this territory belongs to the Hatakeyama family, one of the three feudal lords. Before heading to Kawachi Province
On the street, dozens of riders and horses from the Kira family were walking slowly.
"Master! How come the Tsuda family is so rich? They used to sell six thousand guanwen. That's really impressive!"
"Idiot! That's just an advance payment. When the carriage is ready, there will be a final payment of 6,500 yuan."
"The host hasn't answered my question yet?"
"What's the problem?"
"Why is he so rich? He is richer than our samurai who work hard to earn a little salary!"
"Zenjiro wants to be a businessman?"
"Me? I don't want to! How could I, Zenjiro, do such a lowly job as a businessman!"
"Then it's over." Kira Manshomaru snorted, and accelerated his horse to throw him away. Shortly after leaving Sakai Town, Nakain Chaodong parted ways with Kira Manshomaru, and he was responsible for escorting the six thousand kanmon.
Returning to Sakamoto, he was accompanied by half of the samurai warriors, who were sent back to Japan with a message from Kira Manshomaru.
He has been unhappy these days because Hattori Masakiyoshi told him that Tsuda Sotatsu rushed back from Sakai Nanzhuang when he was meeting with Tsuda Sotatsu in Sakai Town. The strangest thing is that he didn't show up when he came back and kept hiding in the shop.
The mysterious interior is a bit too much. Logically speaking, the Tsuda family, who were businessmen, would not dare to show off in front of him.
The status of a businessman is not qualified to be compared with that of a samurai. The motivation for his rude behavior after seeing a distinguished guest becomes very simple. "It's probably because of the face of the Zhongyuan family that you contacted me! If it weren't for my family,
The carriage is indeed good, and they will definitely give me a business of one or two thousand guan to satisfy me... Huh! Who do you think I am?"
But the more Kira Mansomaru thought about it, the angrier he became. The angrier he became, the more he couldn't help but want to vent his anger. He reined in his Mercedes-Benz horse and jumped off. He walked to the road and yelled in some Chinese dialect: "I have seen through what celebrities are.
! Either a mentally disturbed fool or a despicable person with a lot of tricks in his head. After living in Sakamoto Imperial Palace for a few days, not a single minister came to visit me. Don’t you know the benefits of burning a cold stove? Why don’t you worship my big Buddha now?
, it will be too late to add icing on the cake later!”
It felt much better to let out the words he had been holding in his heart, but when he did this, he shocked the horseback samurai again. After a long time, without turning around, Yamaoka Zenjiro came over and shouted: "The master of the hall is practicing.
The secret method of the Shingon Sect! Remember, everyone, this is a secret and must not be revealed!"
"Yes! This is the secret method of the Shingon sect! I have heard it before!" Takigawa Keijiro swore that he had heard this kind of spell before. God knows where he, a little kid from Shima Country, had heard of the secret method of the Shingon sect from Mount Koya.
In short, everyone soon believed it to be true. Honda Miya tugged on Takigawa Keijiro's sleeve and said, "I also want to learn that secret technique. Brother Keijiro, please teach me!"
"Idiot!" Takigawa Keijiro hit him twice on the head with the scabbard, which made the very curious Honda Miya hold his head and become more honest.
