Chapter 1,524 The Butterfly in the Storm, Flashing the Wings of East Asia
"Blessed by Buddha! The ancestors, the confidant in the sea, are as close as neighbors. Today's farewell, I will go to the Ming Dynasty trade, and when I see you again, it will be next year!"
"Huh? I seem to have heard this poem somewhere?...Blessed by the Lord God! Sen, I wish you all the best when you go back this time, and I hope you can successfully arrive at the Ming Dynasty Alliance and open up the trade route to the Ming Dynasty!"
"Okay! If Omi and the sect have no changes... In May this year, Xiang Erlang will be fully responsible and will bring a fleet and a batch of goods to trade. The same is true in October. It will be less cargo than I personally take charge of it, but it will be less cargo than I am personally responsible for it.
…”
"Okay! I will leave people behind and contact him at that time! Transport more rice, grain, salt and iron to come over... Juehui, the shogunate official position you promised before?..."
"Amitabha! With this generous gift from the donor... As long as I wait for me to return to Ori, it will take three or four months or two months, the letter of appointment of the shogunate will definitely be able to operate! In addition, with my ability and status, the next
Trade can also help collect more goods, whether they are craftsmen or gunpowder..."
"The Lord God bless you! Very good, that's it! When you bring the "canaoist document", we will give you the remaining 300 kilograms of gold! And if you can bring craftsman gunpowder, we will also
Offer enough price, and you and Sen will share it yourself..."
"Amitabha! Good! Great Good!..."
The boat was like the wind, coming and going, wind and snow. Morino Kiyo only stayed at Beiyu Port for three days, completed the transaction and redeemed people, and made an appointment for subsequent trade. Then, he brought the regained freedom of the Great Monk Juehui,
With more than a dozen redeemed monk soldiers and the 700 kilograms of gold traded from the kingdom, he embarked on his way back to Ori.
This time, the Tiantai Sect used the Spoo bloodline, the three ships of rice salt gunpowder and iron tools to exchange for the kingdom's master Juehui and a new batch of gold. The old things about the Western ship were written off, the Tiantai Sect, the rice house and the "gold" were used.
The combination of interests of clans has also risen to an unprecedented new height!
In the next May, there will be a new batch of rice and salt transactions. Then, the huge kingdom fleet will transport some of the grain and salt to the Kamchatka Ice and Snow Peninsula to exchange for tribes from the Thousand Mountains to travel south to join the Kingdom.
After completing these, Luosanda can carry important craftsmen, cattle, horse, chicken and duck, return east in summer, and cross the Shenqi Island chain. Zuvaro can also go west and go to "the forests"
The ministry traded horses, stored the Jurchen tribe, and brought them back to Huatai Island.
The kingdom's gold wealth, the human grain craftsmen, and the horse tribes of Northeast Asia are constantly circulating and growing in this trade based on years. The island of Maoxili and the Birtai Peninsula are like the center of the storm,
It accumulates the power to change the new and old worlds. In the silent moment, and the domestic situation also shifted initially with the inflow of two thousand kilograms of gold in the New World, and became different from history.
"Wow!..."
The cold wind in the North Sea blew across the stern of the boat, blowing through the empty load and the boat, and then blowing to the bow of the boat to the south. At the bow, the two men wearing monk's robes were flying, as if they were about to fly into the sea at any time. The two men were silenced.
The expression was all the time, staring at the southern sea. The wind was moving south at a very fast speed, and the Tsuga Strait was already close to you. The Katsuyama Pavilion of the Oyzaki clan had already disappeared from the horizontal line in the low-key voyage of the fleet, as if it was abandoned
The sky is the same.
"Juehui, are you really sure to be in the sect and settle the 'bad debt' you made last year?..."
"Junior Brother Sen, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I can settle the account!"
Master Juehui sneered, revealing the monks who were tall and above, and disappeared from the favor of the captives in the mountain camp. It was like the water from the low place returned to the high place, and time flowed back. At this moment, he was no longer being
The "captive" who controlled life and death in the Shantars, and became one of the most noble dozens of people in the Tiantai Sect, and the "Menzheng" who presided over an Ome-song temple!
"Juehui, five hundred monk soldiers, ten passers-by ships, is not a small number! If your brothers reveal it, it will affect my Miaofa Court and Miwu..."
"Junior Brother Sen, in terms of seniority, you should still call me 'Senior Brother'! Although I have broken this, I have brought back gold now, so there are more things I can do... Amitabha! The gold is in your hand
Can it be the same as if I am a businessman’s flowering method, and I am a noble person’s flowering method. Haha! If I spend this piece of gold, I can spend tens of money in the palm of my noble person’s hand.
The effect!…”
Master Juehui raised his lips, looked at the silent Kiyoshi Morino and became kind again.
"Amitabha! Junior Brother Sen, you are attached to the appearance!...The nobles above really care about these losses? Can they really hear the truth in their ears? What they think about on weekdays is really below.
Is it alive or dead?..."
"The nature of dependent origination is empty, and causes and conditions are in harmony. To put it bluntly, everything above is nothing more than your faction, one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us, and one of us, will not kill us with one blow... Then everyone will turn a blind eye
One eye will not really take a knife. After all, I am a descendant of my master... As long as I am still there and have money in my hands, is it difficult to settle the account?"
"Junior Brother Sen, you still have less knowledge after all... I am the one above, and Junior Brother, you haven't walked up there yet!"
Master Juehui smiled faintly, turned the new Buddhist beads in his hand, and said with a smile.
"Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva! The world is so chaotic. Kinki is full of defeated warriors and deserters, and everywhere is full of Ding Zhuanglang who wants to sell himself but cannot. As long as we recite the Buddha's name in our mouths and have money and food in our hands, we are still afraid of
Don't have any soldiers? Look at the disciples of Kaga's always-sect disciples, who are so powerful that they can directly drive away the guardians and establish themselves in the Buddha's kingdom. Tsk tsk!..."
"Namo Great Wisdom Manjushri! The deficit of the five hundred monk soldiers, first hire a group of ronin, then recruit a group of brave believers, put on monk robes. With the connections in our temples and shopping malls, as long as we have money, let alone five
A hundred or a thousand people can attract them, and they are all good players who have seen blood! It is even easier to paddlers. As long as you give rice, there are some believers. And the loss of the Spob SquarePants official, this time the canonization transaction has been settled.
?So he said he went to join the master's house..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind it! "As for the deficit of the ten ships, you can borrow three merchant ships from Miwu first, and I will buy three more, and report the loss of three. Finally, let
A large number of new shipyards are built, and the more they are made, the cheaper they are! When they are really built, gather believers who can eat enough and hire craftsmen to be named in temples and clubs, at most, they are a few kilograms of gold and hundreds of stagnant ships.
The cost. If you make too much, you can sell it to the Shanta friends in the north, which will increase by five or ten times the price... I will talk to you on it. You don’t need to be so careful in your rice house, you can build twenty ships at a time!
…”
"Buddha! He hired five hundred or even one thousand warriors and ronin as monk soldiers? Build twenty new ships at a time? Well... it really doesn't cost much. The gold trade of Shantares is really profitable!..."
Kiyoshi Morino pondered for a moment and nodded slowly. In Kinki, twenty knots are indeed enough to make a powerful samurai ronin work for a year. Even if he raises a thousand elites, it is only 20,000 knots or 200 kilograms of gold. The same is true for shipbuilding , if you build twenty ships at a time, you won’t need a hundred kilograms of gold!
He didn't dare to make a big fuss before, because he was afraid that the upper class of Tiantai Sect would know that he would divide the big head of interests and steal the gold route. Now, since Juehui has entered the group and has become a grasshopper on a rope, then go up and down All of them are opened, no longer have to be careful, you can let go of it!
"Blessed by Buddha! Including the 700 kilograms of gold I got this time... several trades with the Shanta Golden Clan, plus the gold exchanged from the Oyzaki clan, have brought more than 1,000 kilograms of gold trade in total! This is a wealth inflow of more than 100,000 yuan, equivalent to the annual income of more than one million stones of fiefdom. It stimulates the entire Hiei Mountain, Nanrui Mountain, and Kinki within the scope of our Tiantai Sect to flourish!”
"Not bad! Junior Brother Mori, I have had a lot of gold in the past two years, and the conflicts between the temple and the temple and the temple have been reduced a lot. Even Mitsui Temple has fewer conflicts with us... The people in Kinki are the people around Lake Biwa The rich and the daimyo have all turned to our rich Tiantai Sect! The golden river leaked from my Tiantai Sect can benefit all the daimyos around us! They are all like hunting dogs, and they all hope to eat a bite of meat from us. Where is the soup..."
Master Juehui smiled confidently, and from a higher perspective, he talked about the changes in Kinki brought about by the inflow of gold.
"Amitabha! Generals and ministers came to the mountain gate to catch the autumn wind, and the Hexao clan borrowed money from us. Asai clan showed goodwill to us and sold iron tools to us. Wakasa Takeda clan also came to trade rice and grain from us. By throwing the remaining clans of Spo In the opportunity of the Hokkaido, the Asakura clan also secretly formed an alliance with our Tiantai Sect to seek our funding. Kitayoshi is our traditional ally, rushing to sell rice and salt to us... Even the Hosokawa clan, which has always been hostile to the Tiantai Sect and competes for Ome, Isn’t this also a place for you in the Sakaigang tribute trade fleet for the sake of the gold in Yoneya’s hands!…”
Over the past two years, hundreds or thousands of kilograms of gold have flowed from the Hokkien land and eventually entered the rich Kinki. This ten times the original annual entry of Tiantai Sect has long given the strength of Hiei Mountain and Nanrui Mountain Temples. , far higher than the same period in history! Tiantai Sohireyama, now has a lot of money to hire Rangoons, make good use of local daimyos, collect Omi food, and buy a lot of military equipment... They can even obtain new ships and crossbows from Sakai Port , share a win-win cake in the tribute trade!
The influx of gold brought by the Tiantai Sect has been lubricated with a large amount of wealth, which has relatively eased the economic contradictions within the shogunate. The people in Kinki have changed in their entirety, and the monks seem to be stronger and have more allies to support. The young head of the Hosokawa clan who had just mastered the Hosokawa clan, the thirty-year-old Masamoto, was also afraid. What he was most unsure about was the monks who suddenly received such amazing funding from a powerful daimyo. ?
At present, Hosokawa Masato and Hieyama and the Snake, suppressed the vassal rebellions in various places and stabilized the complex factions within the Hosokawa clan. He was pacifying the inside, waiting for the opportunity to slow down the battle against Omi. Hosokawa clan and Although the conflict between Hiei Mountain for Omi is actually deeper, it seems far more relaxed on the surface than in history. This is how the cooperation between Sakai Port merchants and Kiyoshi Morino in the tribute trade was eased. reflect.
However, will Hosokawa Masato, who has far-reaching power and ambitious, really give up the Hosokawa clan's long-standing plot and give up his attempts to seize Omi? And the corrupt monks, even with the allies around Lake Biwa, really Can you resist the Hosokawa clan's future destined attack?
"Blessed by Buddha! Senior Brother Juehui, the sect's sect's fantasy shipbuilding and hiring ronin, and the alliance with Omi's Daming will probably attract the attention of the Hosokawa clan?...I always feel that this Hosokawa clan ascended the throne in the coup. , The young head of the family who controls the power of the shogunate is not an easy person. After all, my Tiantai Sect is inherited by Buddhism and is not as good as the martial arts family. Such flowers and brocades are blooming and cooking oil in a fire, what will happen in the future?..."
"Well... Hosokawa Masato? I have seen him with my own eyes. He is indeed a young and powerful dangerous person!... And the future of my Tiantai Sect?..."
As the two chatted, for some reason, they talked about this heavy topic. Master Juehui narrowed his eyes and his expression flashed, and he was obviously very afraid of the young Hosokawa family head.
If Hosokawa clan integrates the internal situation and really advances to Omi, which is controlled by the Tentai Sect... Can Hiei Mountain resist even if it pulls up the allies of the Kita-Kaki clan and Asakura clan and hires a group of ronin legions?
"Amitabha! Perhaps those powerful and warlike mountain steads can also borrow soldiers? But they are not short of gold, so what can we take out to attract them?..."
The sea breeze was flying, and Master Juehui pondered without saying a word, Morino's expression was faint. At the end, Master Juehui shook his head and said with a laugh.
"Junior Brother Mori, don't think too much. There is no need to worry for the time being... The tribute trade in Ming Dynasty this year is the biggest event in Kinki! At least, before the shogunate tribute fleet, full of wealth and goods, the Hosokawa clan would not return without a trace. It's moving, Sakai Port won't move, and no one will move..."
"And how can this future be stated accurately by next year, the year after tomorrow, and even later? "The impermanence of all things is the law of birth and death."... Even if it is the most ineffective way, we can still put our cassocks on the cassock. Once he took off, he changed into the sacrificial robe of the mountain stalk, like Watanabe Masumi, he joined the Golden Clan in the Estuary... Oh no, the Spo clan!..."
“?!…”
In the sea and sky of the Jinqing Strait, Kiyoshi Morino suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking disbelief. However, Master Juehui was calm, even if he said "blasphemous" words, he still looked compassionate.
"Amitabha! As long as you have Buddhism in your heart, what if you eat meat and drink? As long as you have a sect in your heart, what's wrong with joining the mountain tatars? Even the conversion to refuge mentioned by Watanabe is not hindered by a Buddha's heart. Watanabe's guy is not hindering his heart. , How can we compare with us? If we went to Shantao Hokkien..."
"Haha! Junior Brother Sen, this is just a joke! How can the bitter and cold land of Ekima be nourished by Ori? However, I really miss the divine smoke of the Shanta clan... If I have the chance, I have to get more of it.
!Not to mention other monks, even the Buddhas in the West will definitely like it!”
"Amitabha Buddha, the so-called "providing the Buddha with wonderful fragrance, the fruits are infinite, and they are everywhere in all directions." Offering incense and smoke is originally a wonderful method of practice, and its merits are immeasurable!~~"
The ship continued to go south, crossed the thousand-mile seashore, and became a rushing horse again. When the spring breeze in March blew over most of the time, before April came, the tribute fleet of Sakai Port once a decade was finally ready.
The merchants of Sakai Port saluted and said goodbye to the shore. They were about to head west, heading towards the powerful Ming Dynasty, and heading towards Ningbo Port, which is the richest in the world in the hearts of people!
