Chapter 14: The Imperial Merchant
"Lord Jue Shen Wu Sect, you are too modest to say this, how can Lord Jue Shen House, who can be in charge of such a commercial house, not as good as me! There are some things that are hypocritical if you are too modest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info I said that you are a capable businessman in the Jue Shenwu Sect Realm, you must be, there is no need to be humble. Kuroda said with a smile.
"In the next businessman, he deserves the name of the adult in the mouth of Kuroda-sama, but I still thank Kuroda-sama for his compliment." Jue Shenwu Sect Realm said to Kuroda Vocational High School.
"Hmmm! Very good, this time I am replacing my father in Shangluo, and I want to seek a better official position for my family. As a result, before he came, the Shogun sent a letter stating that when he arrived in Sakai Town, it would be best to visit the Lord of the Kakusenya Sect. To be honest, I've been wondering, what is the relationship between the Jue Senya Sect and the Shogun, why are you able to dump the Shogun's name for you, and ask me to come and see you? Kuroda said it very bluntly.
"Kuroda-sama, this is my yard, and the yard is full of my people, so there shouldn't be any possibility of leakage. In that case, I won't be hiding it from Kuroda-sama anymore. Even in Sakai Town, we were a much more powerful merchant house than we are now, and just a few years ago, we were a member of the Ten Men of Kaimachi, a wealthy merchant who traded horses, weapons, and grain to various lords and daimyo throughout the country. Of course, that was a few years ago, and the scale of the current scale is incomparable.
After that, the evil thief Miyoshi Changqing raised his sword soldiers in vain, invaded Jinnai, and constantly rolled up the flames of war, the people were displaced, and Kyoto became a place of horse racing, and even the respected generals were forced out of Luoyang City (Kyoto, Kyoto in ancient times, called Luoyang). Later, because his father secretly supported the shogun Adachi Yoshiteri, and was secretly told to the Miyoshi family by a family member, the family was liquidated by the Miyoshi three. All my family lost their lives as a result, and I was the only one who escaped. At that time, he was still young, but with the help of Uncle Tsuda Soda, who was also a member of the ten, he fled to the western country.
After that, I came to Himeji Castle Town. ”
"Himeji Joshitacho?" Kuroda was a little surprised.
"Hey! In Himeji no Machi, because Himeji Castle Town encourages commerce, it is one of the best places for us to survive, and of course, Kuroda Castle Town. With the help of a few loyal men who were with me back then, I relied on the sales channels accumulated by my family before, and slowly restored my family's power. Two years ago, I was able to return to Sakai-cho again and regain my family's property. Jue Shenwu Sect Realm said slowly.
When Jue Shenwu Zongjie said, he kept looking at the tea set in front of him, as if he was in a trance, or maybe he was thinking back to his previous experience. For a teenager, all this is too tortuous, and it is actually a miracle that he has survived until now.
"In this way, your experience has been really bumpy! Based on your situation at the time, I think you can have today's results, at least better than me, the second generation of officials, at least I think if it were me, I would never be able to do it. Kuroda Vocational High School laughed at himself, it is indeed very difficult for people to be forced to start learning to do business when they are a few years old, and to earn such a family business.
"The second generation of officials?" As for the word Kuroda Vocational High School said, the Jueshenya Sect has never heard of it, so it is a little confused. But with his intelligence, he soon understood the meaning of the word, maybe Kuroda Vocational High School said that he was originally the young master of the Kuroda family, and he had a better foundation!
"I think you must have learned a lot about the situation of the Kuroda family, so you shouldn't need to introduce it to the big shopkeeper, but I don't know what the current situation of the Jue Shen House is?" Kuroda said with a smile.
The corners of the Jue Shen Wu Sect's mouth curled slightly, and he said: "My Jue Shen Wu currently has an income of more than 100,000 guan a year, and the profit is only 100,000 yuan, which is not worth mentioning. In the past, the family was engaged in the business of horses, weapons, and grain all over the country, so now some business may not be done, but the channels are still there, and when you need to set up a point, as long as there is a stock, you can go to set up a point at any time. This family is related to some relatively large bandits, pirates, and ninjas, and there is basically no danger of being robbed, of course, the big merchants in the country do this. I don't know if Kuroda-sama is satisfied? ”
"Well, yes, it's still a bit far from Tennoji in terms of size, but I'm sure you'll be able to catch up in a few years. Since your family and the general have an old relationship, and this time it is also the general's intermediary, I want to know what the big treasurer is all about? After Kuroda Vocational High School knew what he wanted to know, he was not ready to continue to detour and said bluntly.
"It's very simple, I hope that the Kakusenya can become the royal merchant of the Kuroda family." Jueshenya Sect Realm said to Kuroda Vocational High School, and it could be seen that his eyes were very firm.
"Ahh Become the royal merchant of your family, but didn't you support the general? Kuroda said with some surprise.
"Kuroda-sama means that the Kuroda family doesn't support the shogun?" Jue Shenwu Sect Realm asked rhetorically.
"I like to be open and honest in my work, and since I want to cooperate, I don't think there's any need to hide it. At this point in time, Lord Katsusenya asked to become the royal merchant of my Kuroda family, and he must have received some amazing news to make such a decision! So I might as well tell you, I, Kuroda Vocational High School, think that although the shogun has the strength of hundreds of people around him now, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to face the Miyoshi family! If some people in the Miyoshi family have the courage to do that transgression, the shogun is very dangerous. ”
"Kuroda-sama really lives up to his reputation! I just got the news that Miyoshi Changqing died in Iimori Mountain City, which means that the four brothers of Miyoshi Changqing, who are the cornerstone of the Miyoshi family, have all died. Jue Shenwu Sect Realm said indifferently.
"In other words, the important ministers of the Miyoshi family are now planning their own plans, and no one is in control, right?" Kuroda asked.
"Hey! Indeed it is. ”
"In that case, as soon as Miyoshi Changqing dies, shouldn't the bureau be in favor of the general?" At this time, Takayu Muri, who was sitting in the back, suddenly asked.
"This Lord is ......"
"In the Shimokuroda family, the mother of Takatomo." (To be continued.) )
