Chapter Seventy-Two: A Deal with the Shimazu Family

The devils are going to do what they will be able to do in a few hundred years, what? Invade? Grandmother! How dare they?! Think about it, what is the closest product to you today? The most undisciplined kind.

"The life at sea is not as romantic as those bullshit novels written by sour literati,! Think about it, you are in a small boat, eating pig and dog food that beggars don't want to eat with dozens of foul and rude men who smell their bodies, falling asleep smelling each other's stinky feet, looking at the same sky and the same sea every day, fighting with wind and waves, pirates, sharks, and sepsis! ”

"At this time, suddenly a land appears in front of you like a myth, a port, a prosperous port appears in front of you as if it were the magic of a kraken, this port, with a huge dock, the masts of ships moored on the sea are as dense as woods, and the sails are as many as clouds in the sky, and the Japanese, Chinese, Luzon, Siamese, Portuguese, and Spaniards are attracted by the huge lighthouse here, where they conduct all kinds of transactions and sell their goods. Buy the goods you need and get the corresponding supplies, this is Hongji Port. Of course, you have to pay a decent amount of taxes. "A letter from a Spanish naval captain to his mistress at home, accompanied by a silk horse.

This is the main city of the Great General?!!!

Kazuo Koga's saliva wet the placket, and he didn't bother to wipe it.

The group settled in the State Guest House in the commercial port, and the greeting person was responsible for taking care of their living and eating. Mo Yu immediately flew into the city to report to Li Peilin, Fu Bo and others, who were in charge of the affairs of Ha Jing Mansion.

Such a street market was originally just a town? Looking at the lively street outside the guest house, people come and go, bustling, in the crowd, you can see Han people, Miao people dressed as Han people, Jingpo people, Pengyi people, and those who are still tattooed with broken hair, and even a few Nanban, blonde hair and blue eyes, are eye-catching.

However, it seems that they have not yet found their own compatriots.

The area that seems to be a radius of several tens of miles is almost a huge market, with seven or eight wide streets, flanked by all kinds of shops, with their own signs and banners hanging in front of the doors, advertising their goods or services to the people.

According to the instructions of Lord Minomori, Koga and his colleagues counted the shops on a street, and there were as many as two or three hundred! Selling silk, grain, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, farm tools, wine, and all kinds of restaurants, restaurants, and restaurants, people feel dazzled and even dizzy. Come to think of it, heaven is nothing more than that, isn't it? At that time, Lord Taige wanted to provide for the elderly in Ningbo, but it is estimated that Ningbo is like this.

With so many shops, how many goods and wealth should be in them! If you can go in and loot like the old people say, will you be able to earn the expenses of your son and grandson in this life? Kazuo Koga suddenly had this idea in his mind, but when he looked at the guys who could be seen from time to time on the street with spears in their hands and strings hanging from their waists, known as patrol inspectors, his heart sank, and those clearly visible cannons on the castle in the distance dispelled this idea even more than that he wanted to rob here, but he wanted to rob the Shogun's mansion!

According to the people at the State Guest House, there are now more than 10,000 households in Ha Tinh Mansion, not counting the official slaves who have been captured in previous wars, as well as those natives who have no household registration, and merchants who come and go to do business. The population is not as large as Edo Castle, but it is definitely far superior to Edo in terms of commercial prosperity, productivity, defense power, and attack power, and as for Kagoshima of the Shimazu family, Hisataka Kashiyama and Kazuo Koga almost immediately equated the castle with a small village.

With some excitement, happiness, and confusion, after a more sumptuous dinner, Hisaka Kayama came to the good news he was looking forward to.

"Master Li Peilin, the chief historian of my family who is in charge of Ha Jing's affairs, will summon you tomorrow morning."

The office of the Han Yuan firm was located behind the Temple of Wealth in Ha Tinh.

At first, Shouhan set up this place as the office location of the firm, mainly to save money, and was unwilling to spend money and food on large-scale construction to build the firm. However, as the business of the firm became more and more prosperous, from the shareholders to the shopkeeper, and even the men at the bottom, they all agreed that the business of the firm was booming, in addition to the blessing of the lord, it was the favor of the God of Wealth, so although the business of the firm was a good mess, no one mentioned the matter of building the head office, and people were unwilling to move away.

Today, Lord Li Peilin, the long history who stayed in Hajing, is going to talk here with Huashan Jiugao.

The doorman on duty in front of the Temple of Wealth looked at the gate leading to the backyard very proudly, and there was a couplet hanging high at the door, or the creed of the Han and Yuan merchants.

"No plunder, no threat, no peace; Do business, do development, and common prosperity. ”

Today, the left-behind adults are going to meet with three groups of guests here.

As Li Peilin, who was in charge of civil affairs, money and grain, recruitment of soldiers and horses, training, encouragement of agriculture, and raising immigrants on Li Shouhan's territory, he fully experienced the feelings of Xiao He, Liu Wenjing, Li Shanchang, Liu Ji, Yao Guangxiao and many other sages in this dynasty.

With a sentence from Shouhan, it hurts and is happy.

Every day, I have to get up on the fourth watch day to start the day's work, the weapons, gunpowder, money, food, and military uniforms needed by the front-line army, the treatment and comfort of the wounded soldiers, and the bereavement of the fallen soldiers. The isolation and resettlement of displaced people and immigrants from the Fujian and Guangdong regions, the distribution of food rations, the lending of tools, seeds, the rental of cattle, and so on, made him busy every day.

However, these can be solved by money and grain, and among the treasury of the lord's mansion, the most important thing is money and grain.

It's something else that's causing headaches.

Before deciding to send troops to the south, Li Shouhan and the people of the Craftsmen's Association, after some pondering, came up with a machine, which in the eyes of others was just a spinning and weaving machine, but in Li Shouhan's eyes, it was a different scene.

This is a machine that is somewhere between a Jenny machine and a pedal multi-spindle spinning wheel.

Originally, Shouhan was very shameless and wanted to make the Jenny machine, but the painful discovery was that he couldn't completely complete the machine at all, because there was too little information. However, with the efforts of several craftsmen of the Craftsmen's Association, people actually came up with this machine.

"Let's call it Xiu'er Machine!" Shouhan even had to plagiarize someone else's name, and he glanced at Li Peiting, who was standing beside him. This sentence made the Li brothers excited, and over the past few years, Xiuxiu has become more and more out of place, and the little girl has completely inherited her mother's beauty. This sentence made the Li brothers feel more and more that they were more closely tied to the interests of Shouhan.

Soon, under the auspices of Ling Zheng, Feng Mofeng and others, 200 Xiu'er machines were manufactured, and according to the will of the Craftsmen Association and the Han Yuan Firm, they would continue to be manufactured, but they were stopped by Shouhan. "Try it out first, think it's good, and then let's make it on a big scale."

As a result, in a set of production models proposed by the lord, people were surprised to find that in the so-called intensive, standardized, and assembly line environment, a Xiu'er machine can produce nearly ten pieces of cloth in one day! This is still the output under Li Shouhan's request not to let the weavers be too tired, and there is a so-called two teas and one break.

"As soon as this thing comes out, the weavers of Jiangnan, Hangjiahu and Su Songtai will have nothing to do with it from now on!"

After a rough calculation, even the weavers in the Susong area, a family of five are busy with their hands and feet, and they can only weave one piece of cloth every day, but a Xiu'er machine, if it is full of load a day, and the replacement does not change the machine, it should be able to produce at least twelve pieces of cloth a day.

The current 200 Xiuer machines are equivalent to nearly 3,000 looms that are in use in the south of the Yangtze River!

The eyes of shareholders and shopkeepers saw that the Xiu'er machine was not woven with cloth, but with gold bars one by one.

After the initial surprise, Li Peilin keenly discovered a problem.

After checking the household register, Li Peilin wrote a letter to Li Shouhan, who was on the front line.

As of the fifth day of March this year, there were about 700,000 households of men and women in Ding Zhuang, with a population of more than 4 million. However, hundreds of looms can produce 2,000 pieces of cotton cloth in one day, and more than 60,000 in a month......

Li Peilin obviously can't say the words "market supply" and "market saturation", but he obviously already has this concept in his head.

So, Shouhan gritted his teeth and sent Mino Shouhuashan Hisaka, who hated the Shimazu family so much, to Li Peilin.

The doorman at the door didn't know a lot of things here, he just saw the shopkeepers in the business coming one by one. Zhang Xiaoqi, who was in charge of shipping, grinned even more.

It didn't take long for a beautiful carriage to arrive with the guests.

"Lose that mother! Sure enough, it's a wolf! Looking at Mino Mamoru who was barely covered with white copper, the doorman said with disdain in his heart.

About an hour later, Mino Mamoru walked out with a cloudy face on his face, and the samurai who accompanied him were smiling happily with large bags of samples and gifts in their arms.

The short talks, because of Li Shouhan's previous promise, went unusually smoothly.

The Nanchu Army sold cotton cloth, rice, and Nanchu armor to the Shimazu family, including the kind of bamboo armor, swords and guns, as well as all kinds of canned food, pork, chicken, duck, fish, pickled meat, and so on, which are almost a qiē produced by Nanzhong at present. Once shipped to Satsuma and Kyushu, both the Shimazu family and his Kayama Hisataka can make a good profit.

In exchange, the Shimazu family, after consulting the head of the family, gave up a qiē interest in the Ryukyus and handed it over to Ha Jing's rebel presidential general's office.

At the same time, he was responsible for helping Ha Jing Firm to acquire red copper, sulfur, and lead (zinc) from Japan, especially Kyushu. In addition to this, there are many worthless things in the Shimazu family land,

Dried goods (bonito, mackerel, oysters), tsuma, purple root, madder, etc.

However, I looked at the contract that I used the official seal. Mino-mori frowned again.

The price is not too expensive here in Nanzhong, a cotton cloth is only two gold sentences, and a box of twelve canned pork is only sold for one or two silver, but without exception, it is required to trade in cash.

He still knew how much gold and silver the Shimazu family had, and once the trade began, the Shimazu family could barely pay for these goods.

In order to pay the deposit for the first installment of the trade goods, he Mino Mamoru gave all the 1,000 gold he carried this time to the merchants of the Han Yuan firm, and now, he is a completely penniless pauper.

From the reflection of the polished white copper wheels, Kazuo Koga noticed Mamoru Mino's expression, "My lord, actually, it seems that we have another way to solve this problem. ”

"Our lords have always taught us that, as a samurai, we should carefully observe our surroundings, whether they are on the battlefield or in any other place." In the carriage, the beautiful little surname looked at Kazuo Koga who was crawling at the feet of Birakama Hisataka with a little vinegar, looking at his high pouting body, and thinking maliciously, this bearded guy was favored by the head of the family?

"Xiao Chen took a closer look on the street and found that among the Han people on the street, the vast majority of them are young and strong men, while the corresponding women are less than one percent, adults, we can do this,......"

Kazuo Koga, who has been slandered by others, has taken a crucial step in his life.
