Chapter 830: Exploration Trade is a D!

Jin Shang Shengbei and others were arranged in the side hall, and a doctor was sent to treat the injured, and Babai Daowei began to worry again.

Thinking about it, it seems that the only way to ask for help is to go to Tsugawa Soji. Although this is a bit embarrassing, there is no other way to do it.

The arrears of Komatsu Village and Omatsu Village alone have already weighed down the Hachibai Daowei, and if you count other villages, even if you take and sell the Hachibai Daowei, you can't afford to exchange it so much!

Thinking of this, Hachibai Dao decided to go to Ueno Castle by himself, after all, the matter has already appeared, and it must be solved. If it drags on and drags things out, I'm afraid the consequences will be even more serious. Anyway, I'm also a retainer of the Tsugawa family, so it's normal to ask for help from the main family for something.

.........

Ueno Castle, Tsugawakan.

Ueno Castle continued to grow, and not only the castle was expanded, but the 屋shiki of Tsugawa Soji was also renovated and expanded. On the basis of the original Yashiki, several new courtyards were built for Kamiki and several other side rooms to live. In addition, secretly Tsugawa Soji also made a "back garden" out.,There's nothing to do to relax or something.,It's quite popular with women like Xue Ji and others.。

The courtyard behind the main hall is the daily living place of Soji Tsugawa, and it is also where Yukihime lives, and as the main wife of the Tsugawa family, Yukihime naturally enjoys different treatment from the main room.

Not to mention anything else, Yukihime also has the territory of several villages outside of Ueno Castle. Of course, these territories are not Zhixing lands, but they are only a source of income for Yukihime, and they are also the production base of the Tsugawa family's kimchi.

At this time, Yukihime was kneeling beside Tsugawa Soji, preparing the necessary things for Tsugawa Soharu to travel to Shangluo.

"It should be enough to bring seven or eight pieces of regular clothes, even if you go to Kyoto, you naturally can't lose the face of your family in front of the minister in Kyoto. This court dress was made by Ah Lu overnight, and His Royal Highness quickly passed it on to see if it fits. Yukihime packed a few pieces of clothing into a box, and then picked up a black court robe from the side.

Soji Tsugawa looked at Yukihime with love, and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's not that I won't come back, if it's not inconvenient, I really want to take you with me." ”

"Humph! What's so good about Kyoto, I heard that there are wars and chaos every year, so it's better to go to Ueno Castle. But Your Highness, you should pay attention to safety during this trip, by the way, don't bring back a few side rooms when you come back, there are already a lot of people in the family, and if you have a few more side rooms, the room will not be enough. Yukihime pouted and said reluctantly.

Yukihime still rarely spoils in front of Soji Tsugawa, but Soji Tsugawa enjoys this kind of coquettishness. Coquettishness is not the same as squeamishness, the former is the daily routine between two people who love each other, while the latter is a disguise shown by a tigress who suffers from princess disease........

"Okay, listen to you!" Soji Tsugawa said as he put on the court clothes that Kamihime had made overnight under the service of Yukihime.

"It's quite comfortable, this doesn't seem to be something that can be made of the linen cloth in the family's collar, right?" Soji Tsugawa felt the comfort on his skin, and then couldn't help but ask.

Yukihime smiled and nodded, "This is the Mingguo silk that Lord Date from Minato Castle sent two days ago, and it was brought by Shadillo. Most of them were already being sold to merchants from all over the world, and Lord Date selected some of the best silk from them and sent them to Ueno Castle. ”

"Ah Lu made this dress overnight, did Your Highness see the family tattoo on it? It's all made of gold thread, and if you want to wear such a court dress to Kyoto, your Highness will definitely shine! Yukihime said, pointing to the conspicuous golden bellflower pattern on the black court dress.

Soji Tsugawa nodded with satisfaction, and then said casually, "In that case, then I will order you to go down and make a few pieces for each of you." ”

"Really?" Unexpectedly, Xue Ji covered her mouth with a look of surprise when she heard it, "I didn't expect that the concubine would be able to wear silk clothes one day, it's really good." Thank you, Your Highness! ”

"Just a few clothes, is that so?" Soharu Tsugawa looked puzzled.

"This is silk, Your Highness, let alone Dewa, even in the entire Ou region and the entire Kanto region, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it. Even in Kyoto, it is a rare thing to find, and it is often sold out as soon as it appears. ”

"The concubine has only heard of it before, but she has never seen it." Yukihime touched the clothes on Soji Tsugawa with a smile on her face, feeling the silky smooth feel in her hands, and she couldn't help but start to look forward to what it was like when she wore it.

Well, it is true that Soharu Tsugawa did not expect silk to be so popular in RB.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, silk was a luxury that could only be worn by dignitaries and local tyrants and inferior gentry, and B's previous transactions with the Ming Dynasty were all through exploration trade, and the exploration trade has always been controlled by the Ouchi family.

The so-called exploration trade is actually a way to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty to achieve the purpose of obtaining "feedback" from the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Ming Dynasty implemented sea gold, although in fact it was useless, but if the trade between countries was to be carried out, it was necessary to use this kind of exploration trade.

The trade between RB and the Ming Dynasty has always been controlled by the Ouchi clan in the western region, which has also brought great wealth to the Ouchi clan. Later, although there was a battle between the Ouchi clan and the Hosokawa clan for the right to explore the trade (details can be found in Baidu), so that the Ming Dynasty abolished this kind of exploration trade with the RB for a time, but later around the fifth year of the Astronomical family, Ouchi Yoshitaka resumed the exploration trade.

However, although the RB and the Ming Dynasty were able to carry out exploration trade, firstly, because the exploration trade was stipulated to be held once every three or ten years, and this kind of large ship that could go to the ocean was really "unaffordable", even the Ouchi family, a Western giant, could only shoot two or three ships at a time, so it is conceivable how effective this trade can be.

This also contributed to the fact that Ming goods, especially porcelain, silk and other luxury goods, were very valuable in RB. And those ministers who live in Kyoto are even more eager to raise the price of B, and make these Ming Dynasty commodities in short supply and expensive, which is not at all something that ordinary Chinese people and small daimyo can consume.

After listening to Yukihime's explanation, Tsugawa Soji suddenly came to the senses, can he establish a triangular trade relationship linking RB-Ming Dynasty-Europe through Sardillo and others? If it can be done, although the Tsugawa family will not be able to influence the Ming Dynasty and Europe, it will be big for RB.

In addition, the Tsugawa family's economic development will surely rise rapidly in the future, and maritime trade and road trade will quickly develop into the commercial center of the entire RB. The most important thing is that this can bring countless money to the Tsugawa family!

The Ouchi family has dominated the RB West Country region for so many years, isn't it because of the silver mountains in the territory and the wealth brought by the exploration trade? And if Tsugawa Soji's idea can be successfully achieved, then the Ouchi family's exploration trade is a D!
