    Although Yamamoto Tokiyuki didn't understand Chinese, he was not stupid. He could taste something amiss in Wang Dan's cunning eyes. His smiling expression immediately changed, and he said coldly with a sullen face: "Mr. Wang, what's this?  What do you mean? All we want is to make gold and silver accessories for gifts to friends. If Mr. Wang thinks we want to learn smelting technology, why should we go to you?  He mastered the ash blowing method a few years ago. ""This" Wang Dan couldn't laugh it off anymore. He didn't understand the craftsmanship at all, and he didn't know that the Ouchi family relied on the Soga Taibei family to master it more than ten years ago.  Of course, he didn¡¯t know that the only step in the Ash Blowing method mastered by the Ouchi family was the separation of copper and lead. The Ouchi family could only achieve this step of separation. The Suga family gave the most important technique later, which is called Nanman blowing.  Hide.  "We just want to hire a skilled goldsmith. For this, we can add another five hundred taels of silver. This is our final offer. Let Mr. Wang make the decision!" Wang Dan hesitated for a moment, thinking that he would just tell the craftsman not to talk.  In fact, the blowing method is not a big problem, so he said: "Okay! Leave this matter to Mr. Wang!" Before the end, Kansuke Yamamoto did not forget to threaten him: "I also want to remind Mr. Wang.  ! The gold and silver utensils we want to make are for noble people. If you cause trouble by randomly inserting a goldsmith into us, don't blame us for coming to you! " "Well! That's good!  The fellow countryman is the best goldsmith. As long as Mr. Yamamoto promises to borrow him for only half a year, Wang will definitely transfer him for your dispatch! "Wang Dan is a wealthy businessman who is used to living in fine clothes and fine food. He doesn't even see pirates a few times throughout the year.  At first glance, Kansuke Yamamoto had a fierce expression on his one-eyed, scarred face and mustache, and he was so frightened that he almost crawled under the table.  "Okay! It's settled then! It will last for one month, and someone will come to trade with Mr. Wang at that time. Let's say goodbye!" After Yamamoto Kansuke finished speaking, he asked people to leave quickly.  After leaving Pinghai Trading Company, Kira Yoshiki used the pretext of having personal matters to attend to, and finally coaxed Yamamoto Tokiyuki back, and took Watanabe Takatsuna into a small bar. At this time, Hattori Masakiyoshi, who had been hiding for a long time, appeared in the bar.  In a small cubicle, he said to him: "This is a secret spot set up by our Hattori clan. Please don't worry! It's absolutely safe here!" "Well! Masaaki, thank you for your hard work!" Kira nodded and looked at him  Quietly exited the room, and then said to Watanabe Takazuna: "It must be very hard for Takazuna to teach Sakon and the three of them these days!" "It's so hard! Sakon's talent is very good, and his spear skills have been learned by him.  Thirty percent, if time passes, there will be no problem in surpassing me. Although Sanmi is a bit slow in thinking, this kid has a simple temperament, and he will make rapid progress when he focuses on training. My dog, Gengoro, has been practicing with me for several years. What can he achieve after he has a solid foundation?  The degree depends on personal efforts and opportunities." Watanabe Takazuna sighed, and seemed to be very satisfied with the three apprentices.  "In the future, I will also ask Takazuna for basic spear skills, and I will have to trouble Takazuna even more." Kira Yoshi said with a smile. He was hinting to Watanabe Takazuna, I may ask you to teach him, but don't expect to accept him as a disciple.  , there were only two people in his normal school. They were the same two people before and will be the same people in the future.  "I must know everything and say everything without restraint!" Watanabe Takazuna answered respectfully, and I don't know if he heard the implication.  ¡­ As we all know, Japan is a famous silver-producing country. At this time, Japan¡¯s silver mines have not yet fully exploded in output. For example, Ikuno Ginzan is still in the early stages of mining, but the price of silver is also expensive. The standard exchange price is  Ten taels of silver equals two ounces of five hundred Wen Yongle coins, which is roughly equal to the standard of ten taels of silver equaling ten guans of Ju coins.  One thousand taels of silver is equivalent to one thousand guan. Such a large sum of money seems expensive to exchange for a few craftsmen. However, the construction level in Japan is very poor. Only in capital-level cities like Kyoto, half of the houses are renovated. The houses in other areas  The Kira family's Sakamoto Castle also relied on strong financial resources to complete part of the renovation. The cost of complete renovation was too high and it was not as cost-effective as building several new towns.  This time, Kiragi sneaked in secretly and did not dare to show up in public. He kept hiding his identity and hid in the bar. Then he sent out a group of people to secretly contact Tsuda Muneki. His original intention was to negotiate another carriage business with Tennojiya. The information he got was  But it was beyond his expectation. Yamaoka Tokich¨­ whispered: "Tennoji Yasoki said that there are already merchants in Sakai Town who are imitating horse carriages, so the price may be reduced by half." "What? Tsuda Sokichi really said that?"  Kira Yoshi narrowed his eyes, his face immediately darkened and he snorted: "What a cunning guy. They must have thought about imitating it a long time ago, right? No wonder they negotiated a big price so readily last time. Now it seems that we have won Miyoshi."  I was worried about offending my family, so I came up with the half-price strategy?" Last year's issueThe pushback when purchasing a batch of iron cannons made him aware of the ambiguous attitude of the Tsuda family. The imitation of the horse-drawn carriage further verified his idea. Imagine that Tennojiya is one of the largest commercial houses in Sakai Town. Who would dare to do his own business?  Imitation?  Either you have something to rely on or you are seeking death. Obviously the imitator is not dead, so isn¡¯t the answer simple?  "Half price? Promise him! It will be the same scale as last time. After the carriage business is over this time, the contract will be temporarily terminated!" The business has reached the point of being merciless, and Kira Yoshitoki has no mercy.  Without hiding his disgust for the Tsuda family's erratic behavior, the Tsuda family must realize that they have done something wrong.  After handling the affairs of the Tsuda family, Kira Yoshi, disguised as an ordinary businessman, quietly sneaked into Sakai Town with a group of more than a dozen people to go shopping. It had been more than a year since the last trip to Sakai Town. It was a year later that he came back to Sakai.  The town seems to be more prosperous than before, and the flow of people on the streets has increased significantly.  It is said that construction of new towns is still ongoing in Sakai Town, and the functions of various occupations such as craftsmen, merchants, temples, etc. are divided into independent towns and districts. This is also a characteristic of Sakamoto Castle Town, but I don¡¯t know what is the difference between the two.  Who is learning whom.  Unknowingly, he wandered into the main port of Sakai Town. This was his first time here because it was the busiest area of ??the port in Sakai Town. A large number of passengers and cargo flow were transferred here every day. The area around the port was full of land of various sizes.  In the warehouse, there are also a lot of vendors selling goods near the port. They range from swords, guns and horses to needles and threads. The goods they sell are really dazzling.  Many wealthy businessmen in Sakai Town started out as these small traders, slowly opened their own shops, and then gradually expanded into a network of shops. Their main shop name is as proud as the Tennojiya house number in Sakai Town. When wandering around,  , Yamaoka Tokiuchi suddenly ran over and said: "Tate Your Highness, there are many huge ships over there!" "Oh! What a big ship! Let me take a look first!" Following the direction Yamaoka Tokiuchi pointed, carefully, there were a large number of dark ships.  The crowd gathered in front of a huge pier, where there were indeed many giant sailing ships moored. These sailing ships had a completely different shape from traditional Japanese wooden ships. The huge sails and jibs and multi-layer decks, and the tall watchtowers all explained  This is the fleet from Nanman.  ¡ª¡ª PS: The Nanman people have come out, who are they?  There will be very interesting things happening in the next chapter, please let me know what they are!
