She is a famous tea master, and her tea ceremony skills are superb and praised by everyone.
The hustle and bustle outside did not affect her hand holding the cup, but was she really as calm as she appeared on the outside?
Sanhaojia is still in Shangluo.
As the protector of Sakai Port and a beneficiary of tariffs, Miyoshi Nagakei finally took off his mask of submission to the shogunate after recuperating for several years, and revealed his ferociousness again.
The noise outside was that Sakai Port was transporting supplies to the Miyoshi family's military force.
The cost of tens of thousands of troops and horses is such a huge waste. Ships from the four countries enter the port every day, bringing countless military supplies.
Sakai Port not only became a material transfer station for the Miyoshi family, but also a supply depot. Miyoshi Chokei ordered various merchants to donate supplies for military use.
As for compensation, haha, 10% of the tax will be exempted next year.
Ordinary people see war as nothing more than the shock of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the fear of tens of thousands of people fighting to death. In fact, these are nothing compared to the consumption of materials behind the scenes.
If one enemy is killed on the battlefield, three or five others will be squeezed to death off the battlefield, destroying the family's livelihood.
Fighting means cannibalism. Eating in battle, eating in logistics, it is all about cannibalism.
For wealthy businessmen, what they hate most is that the Wu family squeezes military resources.
Burning money as paper and pouring it as water will lead to disaster if decades of savings are not enough for one occasion. If you encounter the unreasonable Wu family, it will be a disaster.
10% of the tax for one year? 10% of the tax for three years is not even worth it! What a bastard.
Imai Munehisa's losses were extremely heavy. Her family's main business was finance and selling iron cannons.
Money begets money, and arms trading is a big business in Sakai Port. If you encounter the arrogant Miyoshi family, you will not lose even a little bit.
The so-called tea ceremony and the so-called art are all for business.
Are you good at making a pot of tea? If the ruler says you cook well, then you are good at it.
Military strength is really good, money and food are really good.
Culture and art are just embellishments for the Wu family's arty and transactional interests.
If the Imai family hadn't been one of the best in financial and material resources in Sakai Port, she would have turned tea ceremony into a flower and became a waiter at a roadside stall.
It was just a loss of some money, but her family was in trouble. The most criticized thing about Sanhao Changqing by the merchants of Sakai Port was the shogunate's ban on the business.
The Miyoshi family cut off the road through which Sakai Port provided supplies to the shogunate.
War is a waste of money, but war is also the most profitable. When it comes to fighting, you can make a lot of money by doing business on both sides.
Imai Munehisa was not afraid that Miyoshi Nagakei would ask for money, food and materials, but he was afraid that she would prohibit the merchants of Sakai Port from trading with the shogunate to make money.
It has always been the case in Sakai Port that whoever occupies it pays taxes.
But if every family imitates the domineering Miyoshi family and does not allow merchants to do business with others after occupying the land, then the foundation of Sakai Port's survival will be lost.
Free port Free port, if it is not free, how can it attract buyers and sellers? Miyoshijia has its roots in Sakai Port.
But the Miyoshi family is now so powerful that they don't even care about the enemies of the samurai family pointed out by the shogunate. What can the rich and unarmed merchants like Sakai Port do? Just bear with it.
Holding the tea cup and thinking that the tea was cold, Imai Munejiu took a sip and frowned before realizing that it was cold.
Suddenly, scolding, shouting, and fighting sounds came from outside the tea room. After a while, it became quiet again.
The paper door was gently opened, and a Ji Samurai stood in front, bowing slightly to her, and Imai Munehisa also returned the bow.
Behind her was a cold-faced Warrior Ji, who came in and the two of them sat down.
"May I ask, who are you two?"
"The Shiba family business follows, Takada Haruno."
Harano did not introduce Yukino because she did not intend to follow Imai Munehisa's words. Imai Munehisa also discovered this, and this visitor was aggressive.
But the situation is stronger than the people. The guards outside seem to be unreliable. As a businessman, he has a lower profile and is not shabby.
"It turns out to be Mr. Takada. I wonder what you are doing today."
Yangno just looked at her with a smile, without a trace of smile in his eyes. He didn't speak until he saw Imai Munehisa panicking and sweating on his temples.
"I thought you knew who I am and why I'm here. It turns out you don't."
As he spoke, Yangno's eyes were sharp and piercing.
"I have been in Sakai Port for three days and asked to see you three times, but you don't know who I am. Imai Munehisa, the big businessman of Sakai Port is really amazing."
Only then did Imai Munehisa realize what was bad.
She thought about it carefully. She had been so confused over the past few days about the affairs of Miyoshi's family that she had no intention of meeting customers. Some merchants came with a certificate from the shogunate and asked to see them, so they asked their servants to stop them.
At this moment, I made a mistake, but I hit the muzzle of the gun.
"I made a mistake, please forgive me, Mr. Takada. The Miyoshi family has issued strict orders not to allow us to trade with shogunate merchants, so I dare not see you.
Zong Jiu made a mistake, so he should offer a heavy gift to apologize."
Saying this, Imai Munekuto stood down and apologized.
What he said was misleading. The Miyoshi family is now in charge of Sakai Port. If something happens to her today, Takada Harano, who did it, won't even think about running away.
The Shiba family belongs to the shogunate, and Takada Haruno is a merchant of the shogunate. Now the two sides are at war. As long as someone from the shogunate makes trouble in Sakai Port, the Miyoshi family will come to arrest them.
Harano is no longer the Hina she was last year, who couldn't even deal with the situation in Xi Village. The Shiba family has been in turmoil for more than half a year, and she has grown very fast on her own.
After listening to a few words, I naturally tasted the taste. I groaned and said.
"There is no need for heavy gifts, just give me your head."
Imai Munehisa was horrified, thinking that he had met the stupid Qing, and it had the opposite effect secretly.
"Why...my lord..."
Yangno interrupted her.
"You still don't understand.
I am a useless warrior, unable to go to the battlefield, and unable to help my lord with my wits, so I was asked to do some business chores.
I have no face, and I don't need face, but you shouldn't ignore the majesty of the Spall family.
In the name of being a businessman of the Spo family, I asked for an interview three times, but was rejected three times.
The Shiba family is one of the three lords of the Ashikaga clan. Our Lord, who served before Shiba, is well known to the world for his staunchness. His pedigree and family status cannot be insulted by a merchant like you!
Today, even if the two of us are unable to leave Sakai Port and are lying dead on the street, we still want to take your head for the Shiba family! You understand!"
As he said that, Yukino behind him had murderous intent on his face and held the handle of the knife in his hand.
Imai Munehisa was trembling all over and her face turned pale. She had indeed made a mistake.
But as someone who has been in the business for a long time, she has never seen a businessman who attaches such great importance to the general's family character and his lord.
In Shangyanshang, everyone goes out to be harmonious and make money. We are not Ji warriors, so why send such a traditional martial artist to do business!
Of course, Yangno didn't know how the merchants of the Wu family dealt with these merchants. She had only been a commoner for less than a year, so how could she understand this.
But she knew that anyone who looked down on Sibo Yiyin would die.
"You don't have to do business, but the Sibo family has to respect you. Please remember this sentence in the next life."
After Yang Nao finished speaking, she wanted Yukino to take action.
Who knew that Imai Munehisa on the other side would change his face faster.
He acted like a master, with a good temperament and a good demeanor, but suddenly he knelt down. Kowtowing there was like pounding garlic, which was extremely cowardly.
"Lord Takada, please forgive me! Please forgive me! The untouchables really don't know about this. They have been busy dealing with the ban on the Miyoshi family for the past few days and blocked everyone.
I really didn’t know that you were a businessman under the throne of Shiba, otherwise I wouldn’t dare to be so trusting. Please give me another chance, please!”
Imai Muneku burst into tears. How dare you not be scared? These are two dead men.
They don't care about their lives at all, so how can a businessman who cares about his own life confront them head-on.
Imai Munehisa was still young and had not yet married and had a daughter, leaving an heir for the family. How could he die so cowardly and inexplicably?
As for who Na Siba is? I don’t care where he is, I’ll kowtow first and pass the test first.
