Chapter 57

Six hundred thousand taels of silver

"Naha, Fusang, Mantaya, Zhenla, Java, where is it hard to sell?" Shan Chixia sneered, "Especially Fusang, I have heard those Japanese pirates say that Fusang has sixty-six countries, and the king calls it Daming. Sixty-six kings must be smart people who come to do business with my Ming merchants."

Regarding the sixty-six kings of Fusang that Shan Chixia said, the good official just pretended not to hear it. The fief of 10,000 stones can be called Daming. If you calculate it this way, there are more than 66! He was just thinking: Damn, no wonder the Otomo family specialty is the big tube, the special stunt is the collapse of the country, and the feelings are all bought from the Ming Dynasty! Kyushu explores the topic of Lord Otomo Sorin! The feelings you have always used the second-hand goods from the Ming Dynasty!

In this era, Japan had the most trade with the Ming and North Korea, and there was almost no doubt that the Otomo family of Kyushu was. It was like when it came to the Japanese pirates in the Jiajing years, they were basically from the Matsuura family of the Himemaki.

However, he still couldn't understand. You must know that he colluded with military guards to resell military weapons. Since the pirates were going to rob, it proved that the news was released by Hou Tiju. After confirming the pirates, he felt that the oil was abundant, so that he would do it! However, since everyone from the official to the thief knew that the Yan family had reselled military weapons, no one was in charge? What about the Zhejiang Provincial Governor Li Shaonan? Is it a waste of time? I don't even want such a huge handle, why do I go through a lot of trouble to join forces with the pirates to grab other people's goods?

He told this question, and Shan Chixia's expression was indescribable, and she said slowly: "The Zhejiang Provincial Governor is also the governor of Zhejiang. If you want to be a steadily, you can do anything, but you must not fight against your immediate boss..."

The indescribable sarcasm of this, and the good official heard it, and understood that the governor was almost the same as the governor, but there was also the provincial party secretary above the governor!

The relationship in Zhejiang is so terrible from the highest commander!

In this way, the Yan family's background is probably the governor of Zhejiang. No wonder the brother-in-law of the Zhejiang Provincial Governor threatened the Yan family, and the Yan family was not afraid.

"Uncle Shan, what do you mean is that even if the Yan family is robbed of goods, they will only lose some money?" The obedient official asked Shan Chixia, and the butler Shan nodded, "The Yan family in Ningbo! When I was young, I was already a wealthy merchant on the ground in Zhejiang. I believe that being robbed once would not necessarily hurt my bones! But..."

He changed his words and his face turned serious, "Young Master, I formally hope that you don't get too close to the Yan family. The young lady of the Yan family is better not to pay attention to it. This kind of collusion between officials and businessmen and businessmen in buying and selling weapons can be big or small. In theory, the wealthy merchants on the ground in Zhejiang may not have any clean hands, and it is no big deal. When the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang were at the most chaotic time, these wealthy merchants also did this. However, you will definitely be able to get a Jinshi and become a high-ranking official in the future. If you get too close to the Yan family, you will have a bad reputation, especially the Yan family's main idea, you are not unaware of what the Yan family's main idea is."

The good official's face turned slightly red, and his expression was a little slight, "Uncle Shan..."

Neither of them expected that the Yan family was doing a big deal this time.

This transaction starts with the situation in Japan. On June 2, 10th year of the Tenth Year of the Tensky of Japan, Oda Nobunaga was killed by his subordinate Akitomi Mitsuhide. Hashiba Shizumae Mori Hideyoshi was the first to learn about this news. He immediately reached a mediation with the Mori family, who was starting a war, and turned around and returned to Gyeonggi. Japan is known as the great return of China in history.

At this time, the Otomo family of Kyushu was defeated by the Shimazu family. The Otomo family, which once occupied six of the nine countries of Kyushu Island, suffered losses in the Battle of the Erkawa in the sixth year of Tensuke. Most of the important officials in the family died, relying on the hard support of the two Otomo, known as the Otomo double walls.

The death of Oda Nobunaga, who was once thought to be able to unify the entire Japan, almost all the Japanese daimyo was waiting and watching, and a temporary period of peace occurred. Then, the Otomo family was able to breathe. Otomo Sori even had time to send a young envoy to Rome to meet the pope.

This guy who was very capable when he was young is already very stupid at this moment. The Thortoko Taki Hanamichi in Otomo's double walls was captured by the Ryutsuji family because of the Nine Heavens of Tenth Day. In the tenth year of Tenth Day, the Catmatsu City was lost again. In short, due to the death of the great demon king Oda Nobunaga, the Otomoji family, who was frustrated by the Shimazu family and the Ryutsuji family, was able to take a breath for the time being.

I have to say that when I was struck by lightning when I was a child, Takuya Dojue, who was known as Thunder God, was still a little brainy. He took the opportunity to send someone to Ming Kingdom to order a batch of Fran machine cannons, which is the so-called large tubes of the Japanese. How many large tubes are there? There are 500 doors.

These five hundred large tubes are actually bronze Franc cannons made by the Ming Dynasty, and their caliber is very small, but for Japan, it is already an amazing weapon. Five hundred large tubes are enough to change the situation of large-scale battles. Japan is very strange. Thousands of coercion guns are often fired at the warring parties. It was the area with the highest frequency of coercion guns in the world at that time, but they rarely had cannons. Generally speaking, more than a dozen cannons are already a very amazing name.

These five hundred Fran machine cannons arrived at Otomo's house, and they might really change the situation on Kyushu Island. Rikadao Xue smashed a large barrel of 120 taels of gold in one breath. The price of gold in Japan is low. One tael of gold is only equal to four taels of silver, but one tael of gold in the Ming Dynasty is equal to ten taels of silver. Therefore, this is a big deal worth 600,000 taels of silver. The Ningbo Maritime Tijuan Department collects taxes of only 10,000 to 30,000 taels of silver every year. The Ming Dynasty's court only had one million taels of gold and silver every year. In the sixth year of Wanli, it added 200,000 taels of gold and silver, a total of 1.2 million taels, mainly used for the emperor's salary to pay military officers and for the emperor's rewards. Six hundred thousand taels of silver is equal to half of the gold and silver of the Ming Dynasty's court every year.

What does this mean? Even for the Yan family in Ningbo, it is a huge deal.

Japan was known as the country of silver in ancient times, and it was indeed not a prank. The Yan family was immediately moved by the money from the Otomo family. If this batch of goods was really robbed by pirates, even for the Yan family, it would definitely not be a small amount of money, which would be really a trauma.

Of course, the good official and Shan Chixia didn't know at this moment. Shan Chixia mentioned it slightly, hoping that his young master would not get too close to the Yan family, but he was unwilling to hurt the young master's face. Seeing that the young master was a little blushed, he naturally knew what he was tactful and stopped talking.

He recorded the 800 taels of silver that the good official sold to the songbook, and caught the good official and wanted to teach the sword technique. In short, the young master would write a notebook at home when he had time. When he was free, he would practice sword technique with me. Then the Yan family tried to make the young master go as little as possible. It would be better not to go.

Holding the village's hand, Shan Chixia shook a sword flower and taught him how to wash the sword, that is, when the sword blades of our enemies intersected, he used his wrist to draw circles, so that the enemy's sword force was stabbed by the enemy, and the master could even let the enemy's sword escape.

Seeing Shan Chixia stabbing out the sword flower, the good official thought that it was stabbing the other party in a dozen big holes. As a result, when Shan Chixia explained, he was ashamed. He had read too many martial arts novels. This was not the sword technique of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, but the actual sword technique of the Ming Dynasty.

"The trick to washing swords is just to practice calligraphy. Master, you can hold it on your hand and draw circles with your wrist over time. Over time, you will naturally become proficient. When someone stabs a sword, and just wash it, the enemy's sword will be lost." Although the method of Shan Chixia's disciples is not very clever, it is very plain. If you practice according to this method, you can always practice it well.
