It's been a long time since I came to the industrial village today.To meet and inspect the glass workshop.
This is a place of daily progress. It's changing.The sights of the reflectors lined up are sweeping.Twenty reflectors are in one blast furnace, but 13 have already been completed.Looking at it here alone, you'll forget that it was the Sengoku era.
There is still plenty of room for the site, as it was secured so wide that it seemed useless at the planning stage.I think that's an advantage of knowing where to go.
You've placed a lot more orders outside.
"Thanks to the unified measurement, I was able to adjust the dimensions.We leave it to those who follow orders to make items of a certain dimension. "
Speak with Mr. Yi and Mr. Kiyohei at the deputy residence.Ohachi carriages and carriages are mostly outsourced to make parts outside the industrial village.
There have been more craftsmen.Outside the craftsmen's town, there are even people who imitate the goods in the industrial village without asking.I forbid selling guns and armor on my own, but I'll let you do the rest.
Some craftsmen follow to make parts of a certain quality, so they start.As it stands, it is a handicraft, but it will be a great advance.
"Sir, look at this."
After completing the report of the industrial village, Qing Beiwei showed me something.
Heh, did you use it like this?
In front of her was a rubber mat, a rubber footbag covering the bottom, and a wooden hammer protected by rubber.My wife taught me how to make the rubber that Fujiyoshiro noticed, and it seems to be a prototype that the craftsmen thought it would be.
Was it the mallet that surprised me?It was in the original world, but I didn't think it would be made at this stage.
"That's an interesting thing.The most user-friendly item is this footbag.People working in blast furnaces are happy because they are not slippery.Also, the thinly stretched ones seem to be useful for work.The mallet is a product that can be used because there is no need for a stick tree. "
Footbags, these times are not so popular.However, since we are wearing it, it is becoming quite popular when restricted to tailoring.Fujiyoshiro had eyes on the footbag. [M]
Now it is mainly grass shoes or barefoot, so I have tried the rubber foot bag, but it seems to have a good reputation.
"I like it. Let's carry the ingredients.For the time being, it is forbidden to transfer technology outside the industrial village.And since it's strictly forbidden to take items out of the territory, try to use them more and more in the industrial village. "
"Yes, sir."
The rubber itself is the only ingredient in South America, right?This is a time when rubber trees are obviously grown in Southeast Asia, so I plan to grow them in the South.For the time being, we should carry the space product.
In fact, the production of sub-products that are substitutes for natural rubber is also in view, but it will be decided while watching the development of and demand for rubber products.
And the glass shop, let's start with your permission.
"Oh! Thank you!
Today's topic is about this glass shop, but I'm a little surprised at Kiyohei's pleasure.Somehow, I'm impressed that you feel so happy about making new things.
We talked to the Oda family about getting a certain percentage of the profits.It's the same iron that was produced in a blast furnace in an industrial village.
Oh, I have to reward Fujiyoshiro later. [M]It was Fujiyoshiro who noticed the rubber and asked me to use it.

As usual, many people are busy working when they are called to the Proxy Mansion by the samurai.
"I'm sorry I'm busy.I need to talk to you for a second. "
The position of a former Ooto merchant is the same, but I am as different from the earth as the heavens.I am disgusted by the deceived trade, and I have been admitted for a long time to do business that values faith even for myself.
In fact, Mr. Kudo has let the Kanae River take it to the store, and the business has grown, but it is still a difficult day to do business.
Unlike me, Sakiya-san is working to realize the unfaithful trade that Kuyue wishes.
"Actually. I was wondering if you could be a merchant."
"Is it a guide?But I don't know who I am..... "
"If you are motivated, you will be in charge.Would you know that?There are merchants who secretly betray Oda's life and merchants who profit unjustly.We must eliminate such merchants. "
I thought it was some kind of story, but it was unexpected.I am a merchant.It's not the same as the samurai.
"Why, is it something?
"The merchant you wish for is close to what you think.And honestly, I won't betray you.The merchant's standard is not to be a samurai who has never done business before.Now I have a match, but there are places where I don't have enough hands. "
I knew Long Distance how reckless my wish was.There are too many people in the world who try to profit by any means.
It was better to use thieves to attack them, even to set them on fire and to try to distract servants.I am safe now because Kuzuta-sama and the congregation of Daigo protected me.
"... if you can repay my gratitude... I will accept it"
Thank you both to Kudo and to the samurai.Even though we have a faithful trade, it is all because Kudo and the samurai protect my time.
If only I could repay that gratitude...
"Really?My merchant buddies don't see me very well. "
"That doesn't change anything.If only there were a world where you could trade without being deceived.... "
I see. He made up his mind.Your Highness will be delighted.The Kudo family will protect you and your family.So complete your duties. "
Got it.
Onari and Kanae are also good places.No one is deceived and deprived of everything.And those who plotted such a thing were seized and punished.
I was pathetic to my impudence just because I was protected, but I still wanted to repay my gratitude by doing a proper business.
If you get such an opportunity, you have to do it.
"Sakiya-sama, tell me one thing.Did you know about this long ago?
"Actually. It was His Highness who told me that he wanted to have it.Ozhang's business will continue to grow.His Highness looks forward to his honest appearance. "
I asked about the last thing I noticed.I don't have much chance to see you, but I hear you and your wife are busy.
I wondered if it might be so.
I was stupid and I only knew myself, but I learned one thing in Ogura.
Only Oda and Kudo can change this rough world.At least that's what everyone else believes in.
The time has come for me to do the same.
Fewer people die deceived like my father.
