506 , Takenaka Hanbei
Yi Yun was soon defined as such an identity as the "big cute businessman" who drove nine warships to buy women.
In fact, every maritime merchant is driving warships these days, so it is not a very strange thing to drive nine warships like him to do business. The merchants in Sakaimachi have seen a lot of this situation.
However, the warship based on Iyun is really big, especially the dragon boat, with carved railings and columns on it, and the whole is covered with iron sheets. It looks expensive at first glance. It is not a ship that ordinary sea merchants can afford. Therefore, the soldiers of Sakaimachi were very respectful to him. So soon, someone came to welcome him in a team. Those who came to welcome him were called "Meetings" and were the actual rulers of Sakai's world.
This "Great People" was openly democratically elected by the people of Sakaimachi, but in fact it was secretly operated by the Chamber of Commerce and decided directly by the Chamber of Commerce. Democracy and other things are all deceptive things. Iyun, who has played "Taoge Rishi", knew very well that the manipulated "Great People" was a businessman named Sohi Rii. This man colluded with Oda Nobunaga and Hashiba Hideyoshi and was likely to become his own enemy in the future.
Yi Yun took a group of subordinates to get off the dragon boat and climbed the shore. When he saw Sojiki Imai led a group of people to welcome him. Sojiki Imai is about forty years old, a middle-aged uncle, and he has no idea what to look at. Yi Yun doesn't like it. However, he is very enthusiastic about Yi Yun. He can even speak cute words and smiles in a not-standard big words: "Welcome Mr. Long Dingtian..."
Welcome your sister, Yi Yunchang greeted him in Fusang language: "Saholala..."
"Uh... Husband, you used the wrong word. Saya Lala means goodbye." Zheng Zhifeng quickly reminded: "At this time, you should say 'the night dew', which means more care."
"Damn, will my Fusang language be wrong?" Yi Yun hummed, "My Fusang language level is the level of being a teacher in the New Oriental Japanese class... It's absolutely impossible. I said that I don't like him, and I just want him to shove people early and don't be upset. A middle-aged uncle has a nonsense. I have something to say to me, tell him to change his daughter and talk to me... Oh... Fox, you bit me again..."
Zheng Zhifeng sweated heavily.
Imai Sect hadn't heard these words whispering for a long time, and he still had a businessman-like smile on his face. He said to Yi Yun: "Mr. Long Dingtian, I heard from my subordinates that you are here to buy women. I don't know what price you pay for, how many women are to buy? Other goods in our Fusang... are relatively scarce, and there are quite a lot of women."
Imai Sohi is not nonsense. You should know that Sakaicho at this time had a population of 500,000 or 600,000. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the largest city in Fuso, and it is more than Kyoto. The reason is that Kyoto is now a place of right and wrong, and many daimyos are eyeing Kyoto. The place will have to change its owners in a few days, and the people cannot survive there. On the contrary, Sakaicho is safer, so the population here is showing an outbreak and growth.
With a large population base, there are naturally more women. In the Warring States Period, many men died in wars over the years. There are more and more women, and the ratio of men and women is seriously unbalanced. Many women cannot find men and cannot survive. So they sell themselves to human traffickers to make a living. A big city like Sakaicho. If you just look for it, you can find thousands or tens of thousands of women who are willing to sell themselves. It is much easier to do this business than to do a samurai sword, iron cannon, or rice. There is sufficient supply! So So Imai Sohi was very excited and hoped to make a big profit.
Yi Yun didn't understand the market conditions of women's trading in Fusang, so he couldn't make a random price, so he said, "You can offer it. I'll buy it if I think it's appropriate, and then talk about it if it's not appropriate."
Imai Sokuha said with a smile: "A stupid woman with thick hands and big feet, a 500-liter meter, a young and beautiful virgin, two taels of silver..." The price he quoted was actually quite high. In Fusang, a stupid woman with thick hands and big feet can be picked up by the roadside. As long as you are willing to give her food, she will be willing to go with you and do whatever she wants, and you don't have any money to buy. A young and beautiful virgin can also cost at most one tael of silver. After buying it, just give her a full meal, and you can show her the 18-year-old look... Imai Sokuha was a lion.
His sky-high price fell into Yi Yun's ears, and he suddenly felt sweating: I'm so cheap? Why can we buy a maid in Da Mengguo and buy a maid? The Fusang woman is very obedient and sells at least ten taels of silver for Da Mengguo and sells at least ten taels of silver for a beautiful country. It's not a problem to sell more than twenty taels of silver... Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered Taishi Xiaohua, and sent someone back to Da Mengguo to inform her that she would come here to buy goods and sell them back to Da Mengguo, and make a profit of ten times the difference.
Yi Yun clapped his hands and said, "The price is reasonable. Lord Imai Soku, I'm sorry, I'll trouble you. I want ten thousand young and beautiful virgins... Oh... Fox, you bit me again? You really can't bite me this time. I'm trying to save these little girls. I bought them well and married a good family intact, so as not to be bought by those bad old men to do some lustful things. This is for their good..."
The red fox on his neck let go, Yi Yun breathed a sigh of relief. Huh, marry into the Prince of Shanghai Mansion intact, what a great family... Fortunately, I was anxious and wise, the little fox is really easy to cheat.
As soon as Yi Yun opened his mouth, he wanted ten thousand young and beautiful virgins. This was a lion's mouth wide open. Imai Sora couldn't help but sweat: "I want so much?"
"How much? Not many!" Yi Yun snorted: "Ten thousand people are in our Dameng Country, which is the population of a village."
"This... is true." Imai Soraki sweated and said, "Mr. Long Dingtian, we are international trade and don't write IOUs. Have you brought so much money?"
"Of course I brought it!" Yi Yun reached into his arms and touched it. A 100,000 taels of silver bill from the Dameng Kingdom, but he realized that there was no silver bill for international trade. He waved his hand again and the female soldiers on the ship moved a lot of silver from the cabin. These silvers were paid by Otomo Sorin when he bought him a large tube not long ago, and it was a total of 60,000 taels.
Seeing that the other party had a cash currency, Imai Sorakami smiled sincerely. He quietly spoke to his subordinates around him, signaling them to prepare women quickly. This is a big business, with 10,000 women, one sold two taels of silver. He could earn 20,000 taels of silver, which is not a small number. Imai Sorakami's mouth was filled with laughter.
"Lord Long Dingtian, are you planning to buy something else besides buying women? We have iron cannons, samurai swords, screens, paintings, fans, armor, tea leaves..." Speaking of this, Imai Sokura quickly coughed: "I remember, the tea leaves in Dameng Country are better than those in our Fusang, ha, it's no longer ugly."
Yi Yun flattened her mouth: "I don't want any of these, I just want a woman!"
"Uh... OK, I want a woman!" Imai Sorakus spread his hands: "Ten thousand young and beautiful virgins, it takes a long time to prepare. If you don't have ten days or half a month, you can only play here for a few more days."
"No problem! You don't have to greet me anymore. I will find a place to play and stay." Yiyun said casually: "This time, in addition to doing business, I also want to see the customs and customs of Sakaimachi. I may run here often in the future... so I plan to go shopping on the street."
"Of course there is no problem with this. I will arrange a guide for you..." Sohi Imai waved to call a little girl. She looked quite pretty, but she walked carelessly and treated men casually. She seemed not really pure, but she looked pure.
In fact, Sokuhi Imai has many such girls, specially used to receive merchants from all over the world. They are responsible for acting as guides, accompanying merchants shopping, can be used as interpreters, and sleeping at night, which is a bit like the key research ladies in later generations... In short, when the guests are happy, they will be rewarded by Sokuhi Imai. If the guests are unhappy, they will be executed.
Yi Yun knew that such an arrangement had a little surveillance and could not be refused, so he didn't say much nonsense and accepted the little girl and followed her: "Let's go, take me around the street for a few times, hehe."
The girl took Yiyun to the shopping street in Sakaicho and saw that there were many shops on both sides of the street. This place was indeed a very prosperous Omachi. There were really no products from Fusang that could not be bought here. Even things like iron cannons and big tubes were sold blatantly on the street.
"Wow, it's such a powerful place!" Yi Yun laughed. At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. It turned out that there was a young female warrior standing in front of an iron cannon shop on the side of the road. The female warrior was very beautiful, with a tall figure and a very eye-catching samurai armor. The only disadvantage was that her face was a little pale and seemed to be seriously ill. She was still coughing gently.
"Veterans? It's so rare!" Yi Yun looked at Chumaki Baimei behind her and smiled, "Look, there is a samurai like you."
Chuanmaki Baimei nodded: "It's rare! She seems to be here to buy iron cannons! Strangely, the samurai is generally not popular at home, and she was entrusted to buy iron cannons. It seems that the samurai has a good status at home."
Yi Yun was also attracted by what she said. Indeed, ordinary female warriors must be looked down upon by male warriors like Chuzumaki Baimei. Why was this female warrior entrusted by the master to buy iron cannons? This is a very heavy burden.
"Let's go and take a look!" Yi Yun walked over with a group of people, swaggeringly. He wanted to say hello, but then he thought, what did you say hello to me like this cute man? It's not appropriate, so it's better to let Bai Mei in front of Zhuzhou greet him.
He winked at the white plum in Chuanzhou, Tatehua Chiyo walked over, gave a standard samurai ceremony to the female warrior, and then politely said: "I am the Hi-samurai of the Tatehua family, Tatehua Chiyo! May I ask this sister's name with the Gao surname?"
The female warrior turned around and returned a polite greeting. It was very common for a samurai to meet on the road in Fusang. She didn't feel any surprise and quickly replied: "I am a samurai from the Yuzi family, and the half-guard of Takenaka Shigeji!"
