10 Episode IX: A turning point in history

side/one horse

The season was about to change from summer to autumn. Preparations for liquor production are steadily progressing.

"Hey, no. Do silk and nitrous stones come from the light? Ming and Nanban want silver and copper as consideration for it. What do you do with silver and copper?

"I hear silver is used for dishes and stuff in Nanban. And then the silver itself is worth it. With silver you can shop in any country. Silk is higher and silver is cheaper in Japan than in other foreign countries. Ming and Nanban merchants buy cheap in silk cheap Ming and sell high in silk Japanese books. The same goes for silver. I hear it's well worth it."

It's just that Nobunaga, as always, and if you have any doubts, will attack you with questions, so he's the wingman of teaching as far as he knows the secrets of the Nanban trade.

It's almost future generations' knowledge, so if you're bad, there may be facts you don't even know about Sakai merchants. Pretend you don't know, do you?

"Is silver expensive in the light?"

"Well, silver and gold are precious and finite. In extreme ways, silk can be made as much as you want with mulberry trees and silkworms."

"Hey, seriously. Don't we just run out of silver from the Japanese book then?

"Well, I guess so."

"Why isn't anyone stopping me!?

"Come on? Even if you tell me. Isn't the Japanese book all about war in the first place and not about trade places?

There are times when Nobunaga is smart, but he looks good. I noticed on my own the problem of the Nanban trade from my story.

Just with silk and silver, maybe I understood that silver was more important.

"Even for pepper and sugar in the first place, it looks like the South Barbarians are adjusting and bringing it so that the value doesn't drop. We don't know the world, we can't trade ourselves, because we're like ignorant peasants."

"Hey, no. Could that be a secret not to be told to the people of Japan?

"Probably so. I can talk to you because I won't hurt you."

There are no rules in this era of trade. I did it. You win, don't you?

Nanban trade will flourish in the future, but the trouble with too much silver and copper flowing out of the country later will be that the Japanese of this era don't know.

The missionaries who will be here in a few years will be sponsored by Spain or something, so it seems like they were responsible for a lot of business.

"You. The story. Drinking barley water, not talking on the edge."

"I'm a merchant. Help youngsters learn what they hear."

"More than you can't make silk out of a Japanese book, do you just lose money?

"Well, to the big mess, yes. You can make silk or cotton if you want to. I guess no one can afford that."

If Nobunaga says so, his face is serious about the fear of the Nanban trade. No way. Even at this stage, are you thinking about Tianxia Buwu or something?

"... no. Serve me."

"What do you suddenly come up with? You'll piss me off. I can't believe I'm holding someone I don't know how to handle. First of all, I don't have anything to gain from serving."

Nobunaga, who had been silent for a while, didn't know how long, but suddenly he mentioned something strange.

The young ladies' offerings and Elles were so sudden that they were even more surprised if I turned them down.

You don't have to be so surprised. It's a word in the chat anyway.

And what the hell did you come to that conclusion?

"This Japanese book needs someone to put the heavens together. Don't you think?

"Well, you'll need it. Japanese books have been fighting for almost 90 years."

"I've been thinking about it. Why all the fighting? When will the battle be gone? Or is it gone?"

Is that it? Maybe you're serious? I started talking about the heavens.

"Wouldn't someone have to?

"Because the young lady does it?

"I'm going to. But I didn't know how. Don't you guys know how to do that?

"I grew up on a small island, a country man."

"You're not. Those who know outside the book of Japan."

"Besides, old things have to be destroyed to make new things happen. It's the main road to hell. They resent me from all over. To the point of falling to hell when you die. And even if you put it together, it may not be the young or the Oda family that will rule the wrapped heavens."

"I don't mind. It's a house of service under guardianship, anyway. You can stay in Ozhang Hankoku with your children and grandchildren."

"You're in trouble"

Apparently you mean it. It's just that Nobunaga is told to lie at the moment. It's only a trail. I don't normally believe you. You can talk like that.

However, we have the purpose of establishing a survival zone.

I don't think it's a bad idea to create a survival zone in one way or another in the service of Nobunaga. You'll have a hard time.

"We need it. You guys know Nanban and you know Ming. The wisdom and knowledge of those who are not Japanese."

"Hmm. I don't mind giving you a hand, until you need to serve? Honestly, I'm not good at being tough. Isn't it just as good as your merchant?

"Perhaps that's not enough. To create a new world. Nothing. I don't need you guys to be samurai. Instead, show the samurai how you think and live."

"That's what they say, so they tell me to lie."

"I don't mind lying. The way the samurai have always been, the heavens don't come together."

"What do you want?

Objectively speaking, it's not a bad idea to have us in trade and familiar overseas.

I just haven't even inherited the governor yet, but if I don't know the history because I say it's under heaven or something, it's going to look really nasty.

"We don't care either way."

"Well, I'll serve you."

The Toyotomi administration and Tokugawa Shogun are going to be gone.

Well, Elle doesn't seem to disagree, either, okay?

Being Japanese is the surest way to establish a survival zone, isn't it? It's no different that I'm Japanese myself.

Nobunaga is also a pleasant child with dreams rather than seen in history.

I guess one scale of innovative thinking just looks familiar to others.

"That's right. Become a samurai. You have a last name. I'll put it on you.... How about Kuyuan Kun? You can call me Kurumoto."

I was a little surprised that I replied so lightly, Nobunaga, but I said I would give him my last name for what I thought.

Honestly, I wanted to decide for myself about my last name. Maybe this guy is a genius after all.

It must have been a Buddhist term for a long time. Meaning is eternity. And about the distant past and future.

Elle's name, which I myself am the first android, is a name I took from an eternal with the same meaning, isn't it?

side Nobunaga Oda

I didn't know. I didn't know that Japanese books might be fed to merchants and mingling merchants coming from far south.

But if you think about it, you'll see. No one wants the interests of other countries or anything else. There is no way that anyone outside the book of Japan would think about the benefits of the book of Japan.

Don't you know the merchant of Sakami? There's nothing I can do to know?

What is the Shogun doing?

If someone still has to do it, I'll have to do it myself.

I understood very well when I heard about Kazu. Both Nippon and I are ignorant peasants.

Learning is not enough. If I were to hold those who know beyond the sea I do not know, I would only be able to live in the same way as any other samurai.

No, it's not. Kazu. From the way you look at things and think about them, everything.

What would my father say?

I held the owner of the Nambarian ship. There will be no opposition.

I'm delighted with the sugar candy.

――――――――――――――――――

It was at the end of the summer of astronomy sixteen years that the name of a horse for a long time appeared in Lord Nobunaga's book.

It is noted that Nobunaga visited Tsushima and held a horse who came to Tsushima all of a sudden, giving a horse a long family name.

This event will be a familiar scene in the novels and dramas, but it is precisely the creation of future generations, as Nobunaga greeted the minister with the thank-you of the three patrons from the way the two of them have been since.

The Monsignor of Nobunaga supposedly asked and wrote directly to Nobunaga himself and related parties.

As for this time, it is later said that Nobunaga himself did not reveal any details other than one remark that he had been blessed with heaven's luck.

Just because Hisashi Ikeda, who was present on this occasion, has remarked that he did not understand the conversation between the two at all at the time, it becomes an argument for many researchers in later life.
