    "See you next time!" Kira Yoshitsune stood up and sent them out of the hall. He summoned Yamaoka Tokugawa and said to him: "Immediately return to Sakamoto Castle with my order and ask the money house to cash out all the silver in hand. If there is really not enough, just  Ask Tennojiya for a loan. If they are unwilling, ask Hosokawa Fujitaka to issue a written statement and treat it as a loan from Sakamoto Castle. I will eat this batch of goods within seven days and complete the transaction together with Wang Dan's one-time payment. "  "Yes!" Mr. Yamaoka knew that once Kira Yoshitoki gave an order in this tone, it must be an urgent order. He quickly got up and took several sidemen back to Sakamoto Castle. The time was tight and only seven days were enough to transport all the usable silver to Sakai.  Town, there is also the problem of borrowing money and it will take a few more trips to complete it.  In the next few days, Kira Yoshitoki has been sitting in Sakai Town to mobilize the power of the Kira family. The money houses of Kyoto and Sakamoto went all out to exchange silver. In just five days, they collected 50,000 taels of silver, not to mention Yongle money and Ju money.  , that is, the working capital of both houses has been drained, which basically means that the entire family's wealth has been wiped out.  The unit of measurement in Japan is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty. One pound is equal to sixteen taels. These fifty thousand taels of silver are more than three thousand jins of silver. Later, a certain monkey made a Taiko dain weighing ten taels, and the inheritance left to the little monkey turned out to be  There are 90,000 gold coins and 160,000 silver coins, which is 100,000 catties of silver. Therefore, only a certain monkey's wealth can do the things of going to court.  With the more than three thousand kilograms of silver raised by the Kira family, it is still not enough to buy the goods of Agot's fleet, and he also needs to buy tea, beans and pickles. The Kira family simply has these tea leaves in their treasury, then  It is an annual tribute collected from tea farmers. Because tea is easy to store, I am not in a hurry to sell it. The beans are harvested in the second season of spring. They are not valuable and will not be used much. Pickles are about the same. It is amazing if you can use a few hundred kilograms of pickles.  , adding up, it¡¯s only something that can be done within a thousand guans. After calculating the price of the goods, there is still a gap. He has to reach an agreement with Wang Dan first before he can reach a contract with the Agot Chamber of Commerce. Agot¡¯s goods are indeed quite large.  , the fund gap was about 50,000 taels of silver. Kira Yoshishi thought about it and decided that he still had to find Tennojiya for a loan, so he ordered Matsui Yukan to bring Sakamoto Castle's letter to Tsuda Sotatsu of Tennojiya and asked him to borrow money from Tennojiya.  Raise no less than 50,000 taels of silver within five days.  When Tsuda Sotatsu saw Kira Yoshi's monogram, he stated that he would only be willing to borrow money if all the properties in Sakamoto Castle Town were used as collateral. Matsui Yukan had already guessed that it would be difficult to borrow the money, but he did not expect that Tennoji House would still open his mouth.  He wanted so much, and in the end, considering Kiragi's urge, he gritted his teeth and agreed to his conditions.  The wealthy Tsuda family immediately found someone to sign an agreement. If they could not repay the 50,000 taels of silver within one month, the operating rights of Sakamoto Castle Town and the port would be under the jurisdiction of Tennojiya. They also invited Imai Munehisa, Takeno Shoou, Obayashi Sotao, etc.  People testified, and finally lent this large sum of money to the Kira family.  In a wine shop in Sakai Town, Matsui Yukan said cautiously: "That's how it is. I have no choice but to agree to Tsuda Sotatsu's request" "Humph! It doesn't matter. I have my own opinion on this matter! Have all the silver been shipped?"  Kira Yoshiki took a deep breath, and had no intention of caring about the disgusting Tennoujiya's ambition to eat Sakamoto completely in one bite. It would be a good thing if he could borrow money, but if he didn't lend a penny, he could only stare blankly.  Everyone knows that this matter cannot be caused, so we can only do it quickly.  When Kiragi was having a headache about how to raise transaction funds, Hattori Masaki suddenly appeared and whispered: "The Nanman who met the owner last time said he wanted to see you." Kira Yoshi was stunned and asked: "The Nanman  "Which one do you mean? The big one or the small one?" "Small one" Hattori Masakichi held back his words for a long time.  "Oh! Where is that little blond lolita? I'm going to see her!" "She said she'll wait for you at the Nanman Merchant Store." Ji Liangyi came to the Nanman Merchant Store again with his entourage, and the little blond lolita was already there  After waiting for a long time at the door with several strong Southern Barbarian men, Kiragi smiled at them and walked over and said: "Miss Claudia, you are still beautiful after not seeing me for many days. It's a pity that I have been worried about these trading funds these days.  I can¡¯t sleep without eating!¡± The blond little loli took out a satin cypress fan from somewhere, covered her face and said with a sweet smile, ¡°Mr. Joseph is really an interesting person.¡± ¡°Well let¡¯s go into the store.  Let's talk here!" Kira Yoshi turned around and glanced around. Sure enough, there were already many people watching. It was rare for Japanese people to be able to talk to Nanman fluently. Claudia had no intention of letting people watch outside.  We walked into the Nanman Merchant Store together with Kiragi.  In the store, the steward was still sitting there taking a nap. When he saw Kiragi waiting for someone to come over again, he could only open the store with a grimace and let them in. The two of them left their respective entourages in a tacit understanding and went downstairs.  With eyes wide open, I boarded the familiar second floor again, just like I left last time.At this time, the empty bottle of sparkling wine was also put back into its place. This steward was really interesting.  This time the little blond loli came to him on her own initiative, and it seemed that she was not here for business, so she asked straight to the point: "Okay! Miss Claudia! Let's talk about it! What's the point of coming to me?  "Joseph, do you have a dream?" Claudia didn't seem to hear his question and said in a daze: "I have a dream to build a fleet of my own and seize control of the Atlantic Ocean.  Go back to England to seek revenge on that hateful woman!" Kira suddenly smiled and shook his head and said, "Oh, I remembered, your full name is Claudia of York, right? YorkThe War of the Roses?  ? Isn't the Plantagenet family extinct? Could it be that" "My great-grandfather was John of Gloucester, the unlucky man who was executed by Henry VII!" Claudia smiled sadly and shook her head.  Said: "Did you know? Since the War of the Roses, our Plantagenet family has been burdened with a curse! Fate has destined the Plantagenets to perish only through conspiracy and betrayal! Henry VII was merciful, and he already knew it very well at the time  You know, my great-grandmother was pregnant with my grandfather, but she still let us go and let my grandfather be born peacefully in a manor in the suburbs of London. The price we paid for this would be our freedom! My grandfather and father never left that manor throughout their lives!  , They don¡¯t even know what London is like so close to home. Can you believe all this?¡± Kiragi looked at this little loli with his eyes widened, and suddenly felt a very absurd feeling, between Lancaster and York.  The War of the Roses is a legendary story in England. What is the concept of the Plantagenet Dynasty?  Even ordinary people in later generations can tell that the little loli in front of him actually comes from that legendary family?  The last heir of the York family ended up almost completely wiped out. The legend of the prince in the tower is still circulated in England, and it is really bizarre that he met the descendant of this family here.  "I think this is much better than the dark and humid Tower of London. At least you can breathe fresh air, right?" Kiragi tried to comfort the emotional Claudia. This was a very bitter story that reminded him of another  A story about ice and fire, I hope she can accept this blow.  "My mother, Caroline of Antwerp, and my grandmother, Irena of Amsterdam, were all brought from the Netherlands by appointment of the Tudors. Do you know what this means? My  We are half Dutch. Even if someone finds us, we will not support a Plantagenet race marrying an outsider. Our family has no roots in England. " "Wait, you didn't say you did.  Is your uncle Frank Agote?" Kira looked at her in confusion, why was his mother called Caroline from Antwerp?  What about his uncle?  "You have to know that Dutch people don't have surnames. Agot is my uncle's business name, and Uncle Frank is my mother's cousin. It has been thirty years since their family moved to Amsterdam from Antwerp." Crowe  Dia chuckled and said: "It turns out that there are things that Joseph doesn't know! I really thought you were omniscient and omnipotent!" "Uh, don't you have a last name? That seems to be the case. You also seem to call yourself Claudius of York.  Ya" Kira Yoshi rubbed his head in embarrassment, it was really bad to be complained about by a foreign little lolita.  After being so disturbed by Kiragi, Claudia regained her mood. She supported her chin with her hand and frowned: "That's different. My last name is Plantagenet. You should know that this last name represents a taboo, because  Some reasons can only continue the family, so you are not wrong in saying that the York family is not wrong. " "Then why is your family being persecuted? Didn't the Tudor Dynasty put you under house arrest? " "Because our family is a Protestant, in order to please Henry.  In the eighth century, my father and mother joined the Protestant Church. After the death of Henry VIII, the current King Edward became weak and ill. All the Catholics in the country rallied around Princess Mary because she was a devout Catholic and also a  The first heir to the throne." Ji Liangyi suddenly realized: "So she is going to attack your family?" "Yes! That crazy woman has been secretly persecuting the Protestants because of John, Duke of Northumberland.  Dudley obstructed her, and she could only give up her delusions of persecuting the powerful Protestant nobles and scholars, and instead exact bloody revenge on the Protestants among the small nobles and peasants. I don¡¯t know who told Mary about the existence of our family!  Princess, it didn¡¯t take long for the tragedy at Yorkshire Manor to happen! My father, mother, grandparents, uncles, aunts, little John and little Chrissy, and our family¡¯s servants were all brutally murdered by Princess Mary¡¯s supporters!  I was the only one who escaped the murder by hiding in the darkroom in the closet Half a month later, my uncle Frank led people to killIt has been almost two years since I was rescued.  " Claudia's tone was as cold as snow, terrifyingly calm, and her cold eyes seemed to be telling a story that had nothing to do with her, plain and without a trace of emotion.
