Among the many ministers that Tsuda Sotatsu had befriended, the most famous was the well-known singing master and the minister of Xiaoyaoin, Sanjo Nishi Mintaka. Sanjo Nishi Mintaka was a famous cultural figure, not only in the Muromachi and Warring States periods, Tianxia is an important figure that cannot be bypassed even in the study of cultural history in later generations. Many businesses of the Sanjo Nishi family are handled by Tennoji House, including Tennoji Aojizao and other important income. This has always been the basis for maintaining the Sanjo Nishi family's frequent waka gatherings to increase their influence. Such a highly respected and famous family conducts When it comes to business cooperation, the Tsuda family seems to have received an edict, and its expansion rate has increased exponentially in the past thirty years. After the death of Sanjo Nishi, Mirataka still maintained a close relationship with the Sanjo Nishi family, and also quietly extended the relationship network to the Nakain family. In addition to improving the status and influence of Tennoji, Tsuda Sotatsu was also keenly aware of the bottomless depth of the Kinai pond. The small turbulence in the lake has made friends with Ishiyama Honganji Temple and Awa Miyoshi family and established business cooperation relationships with them. There were people at the court to help speak, and there were Miyoshi in the place, and Honganji Temple was the backstage. With the help of these two tiger skins, the Tsuda family's development in Sakai Town could be said to be rapid. It soon overtook many big business houses and became one of the top names in Sakai Town and even Kinki. A big businessman, in the nearly thirty years he has been in charge of the Tsuda family business, he has developed relationships not only with the samurai family but also with the temple community. "Is this here? It's such a big commercial building!" Kira Mansomaru couldn't help but sigh with emotion. It's not easy to see familiar Ming Dynasty-style buildings in a foreign country. Kyoto is like a hodgepodge of buildings, from the Tang Dynasty style to There are buildings from the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and the styles are complete and full of personality, ensuring that you will not recognize the buildings from which dynasty they belong to at first glance. As soon as he entered the hall, the apprentices from Tennojiya came to greet him warmly. Chaotong Zhongyuan seemed to recognize them and said a few words to them. Then he turned to Kira Mansomaru and said: "Your Majesty Kira, please sit down for a moment. I will be here. Contact Tsuda Sotatsu." After waiting for a while, no one came. Yamaoka Zenjiro winked at Isshiki Shiro, who spread his hands indifferently, making him complain angrily: "Why haven't you come yet? You are so neglectful of the owner. It's so abominable!" "Shh! Remember the rules before going out." Kira Mansomaru made a gesture of silence and took out a book from the small pocket he carried. He took a closer look and it was re-edited by Sanjo Nishitaka. "The Song of Songs" is interesting to watch. It is also interesting to talk about the fixed format of Waka singing the songs of the four seasons. Sixty-four of the 103 Waka are from the singing of the four seasons, and the remaining works include Twenty-five poems describe the love between men and women, which are really interesting. After a while, Nakain Chaomachi led a young man in his early twenties over. Nakain Chaomachi said to him with an apologetic look: "Your Highness Kira, I'm sorry! The two heads of the Tsuda family are not here. , so I can only ask this Tsuda Soki to receive you. " "Oh? Are you Tsuda Soki?" Kira Manshomaru waved Yamaoka Zenjiro and others outside and looked at this person with interest. The future wealthy businessman of Sakai Town may have seen too many historical celebrities recently, so much so that he felt a little numb, so he was not too surprised when he met Tsuda Muneki as expected. "Yes! Your Highness Kira! This is Tennoji Ya Muneji." The young man followed suit and called him Your Highness. It was not a mistake for him to call him this way. There are many ways to call Kira Manshomaru, depending on the identity. People of different status use it differently, not to mention that he doesn't care much about the change in title. Businessmen all like to use the name of their house as the character Miao. This is the same as the samurai using the name of a village as the character Miao, and the ministers using the names of roads, alleys, pavilions, pavilions, temples and other strange names as the character Miao. It is a current habit. "What did your father and uncle do?" It seemed that he was quite disappointed, but actually that was not the case. Tsuda Muneki, Sen no Rikyu and Imai Munehisa together were known as the three master craftsmen in the world, and he was also the main talker in the future of the Naiya clan. In terms of influence alone, his father, uncle, and grandfather combined are not as famous as he alone. "Today is the meeting day of the Nawu clan that happens once every ten days. The Nawu clan in Sakai Town all go to the Sakai Nanzhuo gathering to discuss things. As a member of the Nawu clan, my father also has to go. My uncle, Tsuda Michiko's teacher, Takeno Shaoou is going to hold a big tea party in the near future. As a direct disciple of the normal school, my uncle is responsible for the courtyard decoration and cannot come back for the time being. "Tsuda Soji looks very ordinary. If he takes off his precious silk and walks in shabby linen clothes. No one will notice him on the street. This kind of public appearance is really below the level of a master craftsman. Kira Mansomaru said mysteriously: "I see, this time I want to negotiate a new business with your business house. It is a new business that will benefit the transportation within Kinai." "Oh! A new business? Your Highness Kira, please continue. ." Tsuda Soji seemed to smile very easily, without any unnecessary reaction, and seemed extremely calm. ¡°Huh, I don¡¯t believe itYou don't take the bait. "It seems that there was a slight mistake in the plan. Tsuda Muneki did not take the bait. Kira Manshomaru decisively gave up the trick of playing hard to get and explained the advantages of the carriage in detail. In fact, there is not much difference between a carriage and an ox-cart. The ox-cart has two wheels and a single shaft, and is driven by an ox. It moves slowly and slowly, which means that the nobles like this rhythm. It is meaningless for commercial and freight transportation. Besides, the court does not allow the minister to ride in the ox-cart at once. But the horse-drawn carriage does not. Same, the carriage he made has the simplest suspension device and comes from Europe in the fourteenth century. Horse carriages have been widely used in Europe since the Roman era. The development of carriage-related technology is also the most comprehensive, because the body of the carriage is placed directly on the axle. , the unevenness of the road became vibrations that were transmitted to the carriage, so riding a carriage for a long time became quite painful. In order to eliminate this shortcoming, some people came up with the idea of ??using chains to lift the vehicle body, so that the vibrations from the ground could not be directly transmitted to the vehicle body. This was also the original suspension device. He could never make a leaf spring, and he would not dare to use it. Without enough steel craftsmanship to make a leaf spring, it would be useless. The body would still shake badly, and turning too fast would even cause a carriage. After dismantling, the carriage he made made some improvements based on European technology two hundred years ago. For example, the lifted body was reinforced with insurance, and a rope net distributed around the fixed carriage was installed to effectively prevent violent vibrations and turns. The body of the carriage collides with the carriage, causing unnecessary damage. Passenger carriages are troublesome to make and use, but freight carriages are much simpler. The structure of a two-horse carriage and a flatbed carriage can carry more cargo. As long as you don't walk on the mountain road, one horse can do it. Pulling three stones of goods, he didn't believe that Tsuda Muneki didn't know the goods. "It's really a wonderful idea. I have an unkind request. Can Your Highness Kira tell me where the master who created this skill is?" I, the Tennoji Temple, would like to offer you my annual salary of a hundred gold! please! "Tsuda Zongji's decisive body fell into submission. "What is going on? Even if you look at me so sincerely, I won't tell you that the master is Kira Manshomaru! "Kirara Mansomaru was looked down upon again, so he shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know anything. Note: It took a lot of effort to collect information about the Tsuda family. This family is also a very interesting one in the development history of Sakai Town. My family, on the other hand, does have this car.
