After exchanging pleasantries and probing back and forth several times, the two finally revealed their feelings, and they had no regrets. And when they thought about it, they looked at each other and smiled, showing a little greed.

The old samurai Takeda Nobuhiro still has a strong ambition in his eyes. He pondered for a moment, then slowly stretched out a finger and said with a smile.

"Sen Yeqing, my first condition is the premise of doing things for you. I want a good ship, preferably a Tang ship from the Ming Dynasty, to go to and from the sea in the extreme north. The wind and waves in the north are very strong. This ship It should be bigger and stronger, and it can transport wildlings and Jurchen horses!"

"Good ship? Horses?"

Hearing this, the big businessman Morino Kiyoshi was startled. He thought for a while and asked back.

"Xin Guanggong, how did you get your present Jurchen Malaysia?"

"Ha! My current horse is called deer hair. It is from the Ezo tribe of Huatai Island. In order to show their submission, they paid tribute to me from the north! Of course, I also gave them some iron tools as a reward."

When Takeda Nobuhiro talked about this, his face showed a bit of arrogance. He shook his head with a smile and added.

"There will be a regular mountain **** trade in the museum, through the Ezo tribes of the Huatai Peninsula and the Thousand Islands, in exchange for the products of the extreme north. But the process of this kind of transaction is very slow. It is hard to say what can be exchanged. Quite... Morino Qing, you can't wait so long for your business. And if you want good things, you have to go to the extreme north in person and trade directly with the savage Jurchen, the Ewenki tribes, and the Kanchaka tribes!"

"But if you want to go directly to the extreme north to trade, the small Guan boat in the museum is not very useful. The wind and waves there are like you have never seen before, and it is different from the big bathtub in the Seto Inland Sea! I have to send out the museum Chinese samurai, braved the wind and waves to go to sea for you, so you have to pay more... Well, don’t you have contacts with merchants from the Ming Dynasty? If you can get a solid Tang ship, that would be the best!"

"The boat for transporting horses...the Tang Dynasty ship of the Ming Dynasty..."

The big businessman Morino Kiyoshi pondered for a long time before slowly nodding his head.

"If you talk about Tang boats, I really think of one... There is a fake sun-shading boat in Jiegang, which is the style of Tang boats in the Song Dynasty. It was made by shipwrights in Korea. It can sail in deep water and big waves! This sun-shading boat , It was originally a merchant in the boundary port, preparing for the exploration and cooperation trade. However, the approval of the exploration and cooperation trade is calculated according to the ship. This ship is not big, only 200 materials, some are not cost-effective, so it is idle again. "

"Oh! A two-hundred-meter boat in the style of the Song Dynasty? A shipbuilder from Goryeo?"

Hearing this, Takeda Nobuhiro's expression moved, he was quite interested.

"How could the shipbuilders of Goryeo build ships in Jiegang?"

Hearing this, the big businessman Morino Kiyoshi flashed his eyes and said with a smile.

"Naturally, they were warriors from the southwestern provinces. They were invited to Koryo, and finally they were invited by the merchants in Jiegang..."

"Invited? Oh! The warriors came here with their swords...the location of the southwestern feudal lords, where you can go to Korea and the Ming Dynasty, is really enviable!"

Takeda Nobuhiro showed his face clearly, shook his head with a smile, and sighed with emotion. Then, he frowned and asked doubtfully.

"What is this sun-shading boat like? It can sail in deep water and is not afraid of big waves?"

"Well, I've been on this ship. Although it's older than the Ming ship, it's a real ocean-going ship!"

Speaking of this, the big businessman Morino Kiyoshi showed confidence and answered in the affirmative. He has been paying close attention to the exploration and cooperation trade, and has a little understanding of these sea-going ships.

"...Zhe Yang Chuan is a Song-style sand ship. Although it is a Song-style sand ship, it is not as good as the current open ship, but it is still much better than the Guan ship in China! It has a square bow and a square stern. , the deck is very wide, the hull is deep and small, and the spar is very low...It has many masts, and it can sail even against the wind and water! In addition, the ship has water-covering boards on the ship's side, and a lifting rudder at the stern. The cabin...I have been on it twice, and I have been to Ryukyu, it is a really good ship!"

"..."

Hearing the description of these ships, the old samurai Takeda Nobuhiro touched his chin and fell silent. His knowledge of ships is actually very limited, not as good as the well-informed Morino Kiyoshi. but...

"Morino Kiyoshi, what are you doing in Ryukyu?"

"...going to do business and just not getting it done."

The big businessman Morino Kiyoshi smiled, and answered with a smile. This was several years ago. Ryukyu has tribute ships to and from the Ming Dynasty, and there are Ming products that can be sold at high prices. They were licensed by the Ming Emperor to "one tribute a year", or even "multiple tribute a year", which is very eye-catching...

As a result, when he arrived in Ryukyu, he discovered that the business there was monopolized by the businessmen from various domains in Kyushu. If it wasn't for his status as the Miao Court, he might have been hacked to death by the tyrannical warriors of the Western Kingdom.

"Hmm... a two-hundred-meter sunshade boat..."

Takeda Nobuhiro didn't think much about it. He just frowned, thinking carefully about how big two hundred materials were.

"Material" is a unit of volume. A two-hundred-meter boat is about six feet long, more than one foot wide, and more than half a foot deep, with a volume of about two cubic meters. To put it simply, every hundred materials can have a volume of one cubic foot. Calculated by 3.1 meters per foot, the ship shape is about 20 meters long, 4 meters wide, and 2 meters deep. And 1 cubic foot is 30 cubic meters. The volume of the two hundred materials covering the ocean boat looks like 60 cubic meters...

Generally speaking, the size of this kind of ship is about the same as the alliance's galley longship, but the gap in technical level is at least one era.

"Although it's a bit small...but it's enough to exchange only valuable goods."

Takeda Nobuhiro thought for a while before making a decision. He looked at Morino Kiyoshi, and responded with a cheerful smile.

"Okay! Morino Kiyoshi, the northern coast, spring starts in March, and the frost is gradually thawing. If you can send the boat before March, I can arrange manpower, and I will go to the sea and go north in April! This way, I will go around the coast. , before the freeze in October, the ship will be able to return with the cargo!"

"Oh! Go to sea in April and return in October? May the Buddha bless you!"

Hearing his old friend's reply, Morino Kiyoshi couldn't help but smile. He looked at Takeda Nobuhiro and asked with a smile.

"Xin Guanggong, this is the first condition. What is your second condition?"

"Ha! The second condition is not difficult for you."

Takeda Nobuhiro stroked his beard, and his tone became gentle. Ever since they started negotiating terms, the attitudes of him and Morino Kiyoshi have quietly changed, and it is Morino Kiyoshi who is more aggressive and proactive. After all, you can make a lot of money by being soft on others.

"As you said before, with a thousand stones of rice grain, a hundred bolts of silk, and a hundred sets of armor and weapons, you won't even frown. Besides these goods, I'm developing in Ezo. Although there are some ordinary craftsmen, There is a great shortage of good craftsmen!...such as shipwrights, cobblers, carpenters, blacksmiths, goldsmiths...help me bring one or two households of each category from the Kinki area..."

"Well... It's not difficult to collect these goods. I can hand them over to you when the ship arrives in March. But the craftsman..."

Speaking of this, Morino Kiyoshi's eyes were a little playful. He looked into the corner of his old friend's eyes and smiled.

"Boatsmiths repair fishing boats, cobblers tan leather, carpenters build house furniture, blacksmiths make weapons and agricultural tools... These craftsmen, you really need here..."

"Mr. Xin Guang, but what do you want the goldsmith to do? Did you discover gold mines in the Ezo land? Or did you get another batch of gold placer in the transaction with the Ezo people?"

"...Morino Kiyoshi, your nose is too sharp...How can you 'cut off the six consciousnesses, turn into the wisdom of accomplishment, and accomplish all the deeds of sentient beings?'"

Takeda Nobuhiro stared at his old eyes, and scolded his old friend with a smile.

Hearing this familiar interrogation, Kiyoshi Morino lowered his head, with memories in his eyes. A moment later, with a pious look on his face, he recited in a low voice, but it turned out to be the twenty-five perfect passages in the "Lengyan Sutra", "the root of the nose is connected".

"...Zhoulipantega stood up from his seat~lightnovelpub.net~ bowed to the Buddha's feet and said to the Buddha:'I don't recite and practice, and I don't have the ability to learn much. I first valued the Buddha and became a monk after hearing the Dharma...'"

After reading a passage, Morino Kiyoshi sighed and said with a smile.

"Xin Guanggong, I can't help it. I'm greedy, but it's a bit serious. If you have a large amount of gold dust, if you sell it from me, you must pay a higher price than other places!"

Takeda Nobuhiro smiled, noncommittal. Then, with a solemn expression, he said in a deep voice.

"In addition to these two conditions, I have the last and most important one!"

Seeing Takeda Nobuhiro's solemn face, Morino Kiyoya straightened up and sat down solemnly.

"Please speak up!"

"If the time is right...I, the Oysterzaki clan, will break away from the Ando clan's main family, be recognized by the general, and become my own country!"
