12 Episode XI: Ozhang's Tiger

side/Kuyuan Ichima

After about ten days as a clerk, the Galeon ship was entering Tsushima for the second time.

The loading went to a donation to the Oda family and to the sugar and pepper that was last popular. This time I brought cotton woven fabrics.

I thought I might need alcohol for the offering, so I decided to offer you an easy-to-use beer. Later, silk textiles, salted salmon, dried shiitake mushrooms, kelp, sugar and the number and quantity of products were increased.

Actually, I thought I'd give it to Nobunaga first, but after consulting Nobunaga, all the offerings were to be made to his father, Nobunaga.

I haven't said a word of greeting from the clerk since the delivery of the offering.

"You've had enough."

"It's the first one. Surprisingly, I need to give it to you flashy."

I asked Mr. Ohashi to carry my luggage. They use luggage trucks and horseback loans to carry them in battle.

He told me with a laugh that he seemed to have called for a horse loan during Ogi because of so much quantity, which was good in his farm idleness. Yeah, that pawn house was in there, too.

"Hehe. It's getting interesting"

"I think they're just gonna tell me I've got a golden crawl that I can't handle."

"Isn't that a good idea? Let me tell you something."

I'm heading to Ancient Castle with Nobunaga and a hundred or so soldiers at the head of the queue carrying the offerings.

All soldiers seem to be bad friends of Nobunaga, armed with spears and armor. The fame is the protection of the offerings, but you want to show them because you like flashy. To the people of Ozhang.

Maybe he's going to fight against the whole house slapping him in the face and in the pussy.

"It's a long time ago. I give you a face of worship, and I know it with great pleasure."

When I arrived at Ancient Castle, where Shinsu lived, the castles were obsessed with the amount of offerings. Nobunaga went into the back of the hall, ignoring such people and without courtesy or anything.

"Hmm. I heard you were the one outside the Japanese book, but are you saying hello the same?

"Ah, no. Greetings were taught to Ohashi-sama. Actually, it was refreshing except to say hello."

Perhaps it was the private room I saw. Me, Nobunaga and Nobu-su are going to meet.

I'm sure Shin-soo is in his mid-thirties, but you're piercing. So far I can't say it's favorable or not.

Maybe he thinks he's a bad guy.

"I see. An interesting man. For that young man, it looks like he's got a liver on him."

Actually, I didn't take it badly from Elle, and I normalized it because she told me I should.

To be honest, curiosity may prevail over fear and fear to meet the great men of history.

"Why did you serve Sanro?

"I was interested in what the young man was going to accomplish."

"You think you can help?

"I'm going to. We want to multiply the power of the Oda Bullet Chung family in a few years."

"Come on, come on. You deserve a lie, and you're gonna blow it?

"Yeah, that's something I wouldn't even wish for."

You're not a man who can win by exploring and disguising each other. But a few times is a humble number. If it works, it won't be a few times as close.

I just understand you're being unexpectedly nice to me. Maybe it's for Nobunaga.

"Actually, I wanted to do something."

"Huh. What are you going to do?

"We sell coarse copper from Nippon for trading, etc., but in fact coarse copper contains traces of gold and silver. We have the Nanban Crossing technology to extract it. So why don't you collect coarse copper in the name of the transaction and extract gold and silver?

"Is that true?

"Yes, if you finally make copper coins out of that gold and silver extracted copper, it will be one stone and two birds"

I've said hello, and I just talked about the Nanban blowing and the casting of bronze coins, but Shin-soo got flattered.

I explained it to Nobunaga one step ahead of time, and she agreed to it.

"You've brought a hell of a man"

"Gold and silver extraction is what Ming and Nanban merchants are doing, and they'll be casting money everywhere. It's a trick."

" I understand it's all about money and bad money..."

"Why don't you bring together someone you can trust and do it little by little? Which requires silver and copper for trading. If you collect copper and let them make good money, they can also be used for trade. If you can't handle it at the Oda family, we'll do it on our island."

"Is there no reason to refuse? If you can't, you can use it for close trade with Ming."

What you're saying is not that difficult, nor is it an innovative initiative. It's the second best thing I've ever done.

But against the backdrop of the economic power of Tsushima and the Oda family, if we had valuable items to carry on the Galeon ship, the effects would be immeasurable.

"Speaking of which, they also make clear liquor, don't they?

"I'm going to sell it with the honey liquor and silk I brought with me today. Long Island boys, Imawa and rich people are nearby."

"Are you willing to get money from Imawa!?

"If you drink, you lose it, but you want it again. If money is collected from the countries around you in Ozhang, that should be all the power of the Oda family. You won't be able to sell to Kiuchi because you're tired of sitting there, but you should be able to do enough from Ise to the East."

"Let's be good. Try it."

Shinsu's permission came unexpectedly light.

There's not much to lose to the Oda family if they fail, and I'm sure they're half-hearted. I guess I understand the power of money very well.

Considering what lies ahead, there is much to be done.

However, the first thing you need to do to get us to trust you is to show clear results through successful deals and coarse copper.

You don't actually even have to trade with Ming, and if you secretly stream the silver and copper money you get to use for trade to Tai Zhang later, the economy of Tai Zhang should get even better.

As it stands, Tsushima and Mr. Ohashi seem to be on our side, so do you want to get your hands off the sea?

I guess I'll even have a big net so I can make fish fertilizer or something.

――――――――――――――――――

side Shinsu Oda

Sanro brought a truly outrageous man.

I understand what you're saying, and I'm just trying to do what I'm doing elsewhere.

But that's not the problem. The problem is knowing exactly what else you're doing.

Besides, that man looks at things differently than the Martial Family. You'll love Sanro.

If that man can really do everything, he might have to rethink the way he sees things rather than that man.

The defeat at Mino also enlightened me. No matter how many battles you win ahead, you won't get Mino or Mitsugawa in Washi.

Those who obey if they win will not obey if they lose. Then maybe you can't.

Let Sanro and the man think about the neighborhood once you've made a paragraph.

I don't know if I can come up with an unexpected plan for you.

To be honest, the biggest thing now is that the samuro, who sees things differently from people but was therefore not understood by anyone, shows up who reveals his heart.

Both Saburo and the man are young. I don't even need to force you. You should let them do what they want.

――――――――――――――――――

Lord Nobunaga also wrote about this day.

The people of Tsushima were just as surprised by the offerings and their quantity, which Kuyuan Ichima carried during his visit with Shinsu Oda, and it is noted that horse loans during tailings were collected to transport them to the ancient castle, where Shinsu lives.

It is also noted that Nobunaga Oda led his own soldiers in transporting the goods and hit the guard, so much so that it was rumored that neither the capital's morning court nor the shogunate would have been given such goods.

Shin-soo and Shin-soo's view of the horse was stated to have been carried out by only three people, including Nobunaga, and no specific details are given.

Since then, however, the Kuyuan family has been told that discussions on future policies, including trade, have taken place because of the expansion of commerce around Tsushima.

It is a well-known fact that it was the Oda family that was extracting gold and silver from coarse copper for the first time in Japan, but one theory also says that a horse told it at this time, and that it was the result of the Oda family's passing on the technology obtained by the Kuyuan family, including that they were casting money.

In particular, they have been kept secret for a long time among the Oda family, leaving no specific materials, details of which are still unknown.
