    "It's really awesome! We want to see who is so awesome!" Kira Yoshihi walked over with applause. When they saw Kira Yoshi, the group of people all bowed down and worshiped, shouting: "Master!" "  Everyone, I'm just passing by to take a look when I heard some movement in the woods. This shooter isNaito Masashige?" Kira Yoshishi took a closer look, isn't this man Naito Masashige, the archer of Saijo Bei?  This man has been leading the archers of his headquarters to practice the ashigaru spear array and spear quilts, which led Kira Yoshitoki to mistakenly believe that all 800 Saijo soldiers were ashigaru.  Later, Yamamoto Tokiyuki called Naito Masashige and briefly introduced his abilities before he knew that there was such a person. Although he knew that his archery skills were very powerful, Kira Yoshi had never seen how powerful he was. This time  If I hadn't happened upon him performing his archery skills, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to see him.  "Masaki's archery skills are so powerful, why don't we know about it at all? Shi Chang! Do you know the archery skills of Masaki-den?" Kira Yoshi turned around and asked, who shook his head with a confused look on his face.  "Idiot! Go back and tell me about the brave warriors in each preparation!" "Your Majesty, remember this!" Yamagang Shichang suffered another unreasonable disaster, and could only hide behind and draw circles with a look of resentment.  "I have neglected Masashige's archery skills! I just watched your archery practice and it seems that you have the ability to pierce the enemy with a hundred steps! Tell me, what is the farthest target you can hit?" Naito Masashige said slightly cautiously:  "My four-square bamboo bow can only guarantee a hit within fifty rooms. If it is further away, the arrow will weaken so much that it will be easily blown away by the wind." "I see! Then show me the shooting skills of fifty rooms for my family.  !" Kira Yoshi wanted to see where Naito Masashige's limits were, and he directly ordered people to prepare a target fifty kilometers away. It was originally just an ordinary archery performance, but he mixed it into an archery test.  The deer target was not ready, so I had to pull out the arrows and carry this simple wooden target and continue to use it.  Who would have expected that the Kira family's house supervisor would come over to watch, which turned a good entertainment activity into a sour one. Everyone was also worried about Naito Masashige. On the contrary, Naito Masashige didn't seem to be too worried and carefully checked himself.  It is a square bamboo bow. It can be seen that this bow has been carefully maintained and the workmanship is fine. It should be made by a famous master.  "My lord, it's time to start!" Naito Masashige saluted Kira Yoshitoshi, then began to load the arrow and slowly drew the bow. The direction of the arrow was slightly upward, which seemed different from his previous shooting skills. When he saw Kira Yoshitoshi, Yamaoka looked confused.  Shi Chang answered in a low voice: "This is a skill of long-range shooting. It cannot be practiced by non-bow masters." "Exactly, it's just throwing! I can do it too! I just can't throw it accurately!" Kira Yoshiki disagreed with this,  "English longbowmen are trained to projectile. They can output sixteen rounds per minute with all their strength. It is much faster than him aiming and firing arrows slowly and leisurely." Of course, he knew this but didn't know why. He didn't know what the explosive speed was.  Regardless of the accuracy, and such an explosion only lasts for a minute, you will not be able to continue shooting for a while. How can continuous, stable and accurate shooting be more stable? Bows and arrows are tools for killing opponents from a distance. Archers who cannot kill the enemy are unqualified.  Archer.  "Bangbang" The bowstring was swung quietly, and the arrows came out one after another and turned into black arcs, flying to the other end of the woods. But after a while, twenty arrows were shot again.  Empty, the unlucky samurai opposite came running over again carrying an archery target.  "Sure enough, it's a perfect hit again! It's almost the same as the target shot just now. This skill is really strong! Masashige is in charge of the two hundred ashigaru team now, right? Train hard to turn these two hundred people into a strong archer team. As long as everyone can shoot  If I hit the target thirty days away, I will be satisfied!" Kira Yoshishi once again stood and spoke without pain in his back, and turned around and left with great satisfaction, regardless of Naito Masashige's secretly wiping cold sweat.  After the new salt was obtained in mid-May, the Ina Tada family was racking their brains on this matter. Within a few days, he proposed to collect these 1,500 koku of refined sea salt to establish a salt town storage, and then use the Rokukan Bun  The high price was pushed to the Kinki market to test the market's reaction. This batch of refined sea salt was paid for by Mikawa Pu on behalf of the public. The purpose was to let Yoshitoki Kira sell it at the price of his own salt. Their idea was very good.  Not polite either.  In the northern part of the castle town near the lakeside, a new salt town was built as a distribution center for warehousing and trafficking. The core building of the salt town is naturally the salt house. This is the Kira family's own property. It is temporarily managed by Yamamoto Tokiyuki, and the Ina Tadashi family acts as acting official.  The power of supervision and appointment is temporarily handed over to the merchants and apprentices in the town.  The new salt was on sale for five days but the effect was not good. Such an expensive salt merchant did not agree with the fact that ordinary townspeople found it too expensive and were unwilling to buy it. As a last resort, Kira Yoshi used tactics to force the merchants in Sakamoto Port to jointly subscribe for 100 koku of refined sea salt.  , and promised to repurchase it at the original price if it was not sold for a month. Relying on this method to barely open a gap in the market, in the next five daysOne hundred stones of new salt were sold in succession.  During Kira Yoshi's time, he sent someone to train Tennojiya's Tsuda Sotatsu to invite Tennojiya to subscribe for a new batch of salt, using the Tsushima Ohashi family's sales exemption certificate as collateral. Tennojiya also readily took out three thousand without saying a word.  Guanwen subscribed for five hundred stones of new salt, and also sent the final payment for making the carriage. The order for the carriage had been completed by Hida Works a month ago.  Perhaps because of these two subscriptions, the sales of new salt suddenly boomed, and merchants came and went to buy in an endless stream. In a few days, another hundred koku of new salt was sold, but the residents of Sakamoto Castle still refused to accept the high price of new salt.  The merchants were also waiting to return the hundred stones of new salt. Many people were waiting to see Kiragi making a joke, but they soon stopped laughing.  A few days later, Tennojiya came again. This time, the merchant of the Tsuda family asked how much stock there was. When Ina Tadaka reported the figure of seven hundred koku, the merchant ate it without hesitation and asked Ina.  If Tadaie could decide whether to sign a contract to supply Tennoji House with new salt for a long time, Ina Tadaie refused without hesitation, joking about how he could do such a thing.  The new salt was sold out in the blink of an eye. The merchants in Sakamoto Port didn't know what to do with the new salt in their hands. They tentatively put twenty kilograms of new salt on the market. The merchants who heard about it snatched it up. No one was interested.  I don¡¯t know what the benefits of new salt are, but I just know that this is probably what it means to hoard goods desperately to make them more expensive.  Later, a businessman bribed a businessman's apprentice at Tennoji House, and learned from him the difference between refined sea salt and traditional sea salt. Traditional sea salt has more impurities. The colors of salt are various, including blue, black, and red salt, and slightly pure salt.  Sea salt has fewer impurities and is relatively pure in color, with reddish and bluish colors becoming the main colors.  The pure white new salt is not only pure and bright in color, but also has a much higher salt content than traditional sea salt. If the salt content of traditional sea salt is only about 70%, the new salt has a salt content of 95%, which is an increase of one-third.  It contains more salt while retaining the good taste of sea salt, and it was immediately well received in Sakai Town.  With the endorsement of Tennojiya, the authority of Sakai Town, Sakamoto Salt House's new salt immediately became a popular product in the market. Although it did not become a hot product, some people still took it because all the new salt in the salt house was sold out.  The new salt they bought was mixed into food as a gimmick and sold at a high price. The merchants in Sakamoto Port were in tears, and they could only make a small amount of money every time.  The retail price set by Tennojiya is six sen and five hundred mon, which is two sen more expensive than Tokaido. Of course, including logistics costs, even if a merchant ships new salt from Tokaido, it will not be more expensive than this price.  It is cost-effective. Ordinary townspeople cannot buy much new salt. One bucket of salt is enough to feed a large family of ten people for a year. Of course, ordinary pickles still use coarse salt. No one can be so luxurious as to pickle vegetables with new salt.  .  The sales of Mikawa's new salt are surprisingly good, but he also knows very well that the consumption of salt is far less than that of food. One stone of salt is enough to feed a hundred people for a year, and the total amount of salt that can be consumed in the prefecture is only six  About 10,000 koku, part of which is pickled with coarse salt, and the rest is the competition for new salt. Mikawa's current new salt production is only 8,000 koku, and the price is relatively high. It is not easy for Kinai to digest it.  , there is no need to think too much about the extravagant hope of occupying a larger market share.
