More than ten years later, in the middle of the night in the south of Sakai Port, more than 100 miles away from Tsurushou Castle, in a huge storefront, there is a striking Tennoji House badge hanging outside the storefront, but it is not clear that it is dark in the middle of the night, but most of this area is affiliated with the Tennoji House industry, of which about 20% of the industry belongs to the Tsuda family, and most of the others are the industries of other forces of Tennoji House, it can be said that the Tsuda family is said to be the largest force of Tennoji House, but it is also necessary to be contained by other shareholders of Tennoji House. In the three entrances behind the storefront, all the rooms were pitch black, and there was no sound of movement, only the window paper of the main house on the west side reflected the pale yellow candlelight, Tsuda Zongda's face was like a frosty winter, although it was the height of summer, he looked at the seven or eight people sitting in the room, he knew that these people had come to force the palace, to force the Tsuda clan to hand over more property, but he knew that once he gave in, it would definitely attract their crazy chase, In the end, all the inheritance of the Tsuda clan will be devoured, just like his father did back then, and the Tennoji House was not led by the Tsuda clan at the beginning, but by the mage sent by Tennoji, and then it was devoured step by step during the time of Tsuda Soda's father. Although it still bears the name of Tennoji, everyone understands that it doesn't do anything with Tennoji, but just pulls the banner of Tennoji when making a heavy decision, and does it as a righteous name, giving a little sesame oil money every year.
Tsuda Zongda glanced at the old monk sitting first on his left hand, and the contempt in his eyes flashed, this old monk is the signboard of the Tennoji Temple, the current host of the Tennoji Temple, but today it has become the righteousness of other shareholders to force the palace, he used to use this trick all the time, I didn't expect that someone would borrow the same trick against him today, hehe sneered a few times,
When it comes to why Tsuda Soda was forced into the palace. In the final analysis, the direct reason is because of the intervention of political balance, which has changed history, and originally the Seto Inland Sea Murakami Takeyoshi will be the dominant family, and the sail money promulgated by Murakami Takeyoshi is really not much of a problem for the wealthy Sakai Port merchant group. The two sides folded together and came back. But what he didn't expect was that after Takeshi Murakami stabbed him in the back when Takeshi Murakami went to Kyushu, Takeshi Murakami, who had completely overwhelmed the salt-saturated water army, was greatly injured, which can be said to be a fundamental injury. Now that the Seto Inland Sea is being disturbed and fighting for control of the Seto Inland Sea, Murakami's vitality is greatly damaged, and the salt-saturated water army is not capable of rapidly expanding its sphere of influence, and they are all unwilling to lose such a good opportunity in vain. The two families are in dispute, and their strength has been damaged a lot in the attrition. So that the forces that were already greedy for the interests of the Seto Inland Sea trade routes have also joined in, in the past, as long as you pay a sail money, you can go all the way to Kyushu, but now it's good, pay four or five copies can not avoid the autumn wind of the pirates, now everyone is busy expanding the sphere of influence who will do the thankless banditry.
As a result, the merchants who relied on the Seto Inland Sea for navigation, especially the Sakai Port, which relied on the Seto Inland Sea to prosper, suffered from the Seto Inland Sea disputes, and the trade income of the Sakai Port shrunk. Tsuda Sonda doesn't have a particularly good way to deal with these things, and that's the general trend. The other shareholders were not too much in danger of Tsuda Soda, but before the chaos, Tsuda Soda's last trade caused Tennoji House to suffer heavy losses, at least tens of thousands of dollars. The porcelain in a warehouse is like chicken ribs, and it can't be sold much at a low price, which makes the other shareholders of Tennoji House suffer heavy losses, and there is the current scene of forcing the palace.
Tsuda Soda looked at the people on the left and right, and said unhappily: "You say, what do you think about today?" Everyone's eyes were almost unanimous on Okada, the second boss of Tennoji House, who was sitting first on his right hand, and the neatness of his movements made Tsuda Soda immediately understand that the gang in front of him was summoned by this Okada, and it was this person who wanted to force Tsuda Soda to step down, but for this Okada. Tsuda Soda's brows furrowed involuntarily, and the disgust in his eyes flashed, Okada was born in Enryakuji Temple, and with the little industry left by Tennoji House, he grabbed nutrients from small shareholders by no means and has become an object that Tsuda Soda cannot be despised for. But he still didn't expect that he would take the lead in forcing the palace today. Oh, Okada is also the brother-in-law of Soda Tsuda.
Tsuda Zongda glanced at Okada expressionlessly and said, "Okada, you can talk about it first!" ”
The corners of Okada's mouth turned up slightly, he finally waited for the time when he forced the palace to become the leader of the Tennoji House, and he was short of the last step, things can be done clearly, and words can not be said too clearly, but today he can't care much about it, he cleared his throat and said: "Brother Tsuda, everyone is very clear about the current situation, it is reported that the Awaji Navy has also left the port to copy the back road of the salt saturation army, but that Murakami Takeyoshi is not having a good time, according to the returning businessman, there is also turmoil within the Murakami clan now, Obviously, there will be a chaotic war between the two sides, and the Seto Inland Sea will not be able to calm down anytime soon. Although Tennojiya is a big family, it is also a big consumption, and the money and food that our ancestors have worked so hard to accumulate will soon be exhausted, and then we Tennojiya will lose the right to speak in Sakai Port. The porcelain that Brother Tsuda brought back from his trip to Hirado in Kyushu last time made the Tennoji House, which was already wearing out strict, even worse, so he also asked Brother Tsuda to take the initiative to let Xian and let a more suitable person be the head of Tennoji House. ”
The corners of Tsuda Soda's eyes twitched, he didn't expect Okada to hand out a knife at this time, stabbing him speechless, and after a while, he exhaled and said, "If I abdicate and make way for Xian, who do you think is the most suitable leader of Tennojiya?" His eyes were on the others at the bottom of the house, although they now had the same interests as Okada when they were forcing the palace, but after the abdication, they became competitors, and the eyes of the others all flashed, and they all sat up straight.
Okada secretly scolded "idiot", but his face was determined and excited, and said: "If Brother Tsuda takes the initiative to let Xian, I have thought about it, please leave it to me, I will definitely revitalize the Tennoji House......"
Just as he was about to make a tirade, a voice came from outside the wooden door: "Boss, someone asks to see you!" ”
Okada was angry and wanted to have a seizure, and the faces of the others were not good-looking, seeing that victory was in sight, they didn't expect that someone would disrupt their position, Tsuda Soda said listlessly: "Who, it's so late, and someone is still coming?" "Okada is angry, and Tsuda Soda is tired and helpless.
The person outside said: "It seems to be a samurai, claiming to be Yoshida Masanari, a retainer of the Chinese lord Date Masahiro, very young, oh, this is the letter of the young master, is his evidence." ”
Tsuda Zongda perked up and said busily: "Quick, hand it in, is it a letter from Sukego?!" "When he was forced to the palace, he was a little mentally exhausted, and now when he heard the letter written by his son, he couldn't help but re-energize, if it wasn't for another son, he would definitely collapse completely, for the sake of his son, he must be excited, and he can't admit defeat.
Okada and the others wanted to say more, but Tsuda Soda had already opened the letter with trembling hands, and the envelope did not indicate the font number, with longing, he opened the envelope and looked at it, Sukugoro's words were handed over by Tsuda Soda one by one, of course, he knew that this was his font, and Tsuda Soda also had a code with Sukugoro, for fear that others would imitate their letters to deceive. Sugoro obviously remembered that in the tenth character and the tenth to last word, the pen would be a little heavier, and there was a deliberate omission of some words, and the letter in front of him was obviously written by Sugoro himself.
The article begins with a description of his longing, then writes about what he has seen and heard in China, and finally mentions a brief summary of the political balance that intends to put Tsuda Soda in charge of the copper ore dealing. Tsuda Zongda wanted to laugh twice, he glanced at the beings in the room again, and felt a sense of relief, he didn't expect ah, he didn't expect that a coercion that day would bring him and the Tsuda clan such a rich reward, and it came so immediately, it really made him feel that the rain had passed the sun, and it couldn't be better. Is there any sign of recession in Sakai Port now, is there a tendency for the Seto Inland Sea to continue to be chaotic, and whether Tennoji House is losing money?
The copper mine trade was an important trade between the Ming and Japanese countries, and once the copper mines of Beichu were mastered, Tennojiya would have a period of rapid development, and as long as the Date family continued to control the affairs of China, and as long as his son could gain the trust of the Date family and take a high position, the Tsuda clan would continue to prosper.
After reading the letter, and then looking at the expressions of everyone in the venue, he didn't announce it immediately, but walked straight out, and when he walked to the door, he turned around and said, "I think today's meeting is here, I'm tired, I'll talk about it tomorrow." As he spoke, he hurried towards the door, wanting to have a good conversation with Yoshida Masanari, the messenger of the Date family.
For several days in a row, Tsuda Soda had close contacts with the Bei China side, but he also hid the eyes and ears of most people, and when it was almost July, he finally made a series of astonishing moves, taking the lead in opening a branch in Bei Chugoku, and assigning most of the Tsuda clan to Bei Chugoku to deal with commercial houses.
However, it is still under the investigation of well-intentioned people to show the signs, the largest trade in China is the copper ore trade, Tsuda Soda made such an astonishing move It is not difficult to see that he has obtained the qualification for copper ore trading, and even some people have heard that Tsuda Soda's sister-in-law is now preparing China to serve as the lord of the country, after all, the people in the house at that time heard the letter sent by the retainers of the Date family.
For a time, the situation in Sakai Port changed abruptly, and the people who originally impeached Tsuda Soda and stepped down changed the foyer one after another, and Okada was also overshadowed by the blow of Tsuda Soda, of course, these are all later words, and other envious and jealous big bosses of the merchant house have also sent their cronies to embark on the trip to China, hoping to get a piece of the copper mine deal.
Masahiro didn't know that his booster had caused a sudden change in the situation in Sakai Port, and now he had begun to prepare for his first tour of China. (To be continued......)
