A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Once you decide where you want to make money, everything else becomes much easier. First of all, it was a piece of copper, only a hundred kilograms. First, I made a wooden box with wooden boards and then wrapped it with linen cloth. It only cost five thousand kilograms and one hundred wen. If you buy more, the store will give you a discount.

Then he managed to buy nearly a hundred kilograms of Japanese lead (not produced in Japan, nor metallic lead, but actually zinc, which is used in cosmetics powder) in that store, and the store owner kindly persuaded him to use the powder. It is also an exclusive product, so there are so many that you can’t use up. Xiao Pingtai just smiled and paid another five hundred wen, and then spared the store owner ten kilograms of lead ingots.

At this point, Xiao Pingtai suddenly remembered the merchant's sentence in Taige Dezhi Zhuan, even if you still want to buy it, you can't buy it, and he chuckled. Xiaoping was too prepared and cut a pole out of bamboo in advance. One hundred kilograms per load, it was no problem to carry it back while I was young and strong, and the journey was not very far, so I made two trips back and forth to pick it back.

Others also brought a lot of things home from Kyoto. After all, the scenery of Kyoto, various bamboo joinery, turtle shell joinery, and tatami (that is, high-end tatami) are all good things. There are also clothing belts, hair accessories, perfume and even jewelry such as cat's eye stones that are not worth much nowadays. It's okay to go home right after the New Year to make your wife happy. It's also good to give them away.

The village chief, Tsunayoshi, the captain of Zikojizaemon who was upgraded to Koheita's uncle, saw Koheita come back with two large bags of things. Naturally, he couldn't help but ask a few more questions. Xiaopingtai didn't hide it, saying that he wanted to try to cast money himself. After the village chief heard what he said, he asked about the capital, which only cost seven guans. Without saying a word, he dragged Xiao Heita to buy two more picks. In order to transport them more conveniently, he even borrowed a flatbed truck from Yamauchi Rei.

On the second day, everyone bid farewell to the young master and returned to the mountain along the same route. The young master also sent warriors back to convey the public opinion in Kyoto and news about the major names in the Western Kingdom. After all, the speed at which news spread in ancient times was so outrageous that even a slow dog wouldn't believe it, so we could only rely on manual reporting like this every month. In this way, the Yamauchi family, which is surrounded by the Shinano mountains in Eastern Province, can understand the trends in Western Province and Kyoto.

When everyone was hurrying home to celebrate the New Year, only Xiaopingtai was the worst. He originally only had 200 kilograms of stuff, but the village chief also got a share, and he had to pull the cart all by himself. He felt like an animal. Got taken advantage of again.

Fortunately, half of the journey can be taken by boat, otherwise Xiaoping would have doubted that he would die of exhaustion on the way. After all, the road conditions were good and bad, and no one would pull the car with him (don't ask the village chief why he didn't come to pull the car, he was Leaders, leaders don’t want to lose face!).

Back in Fuzhong City, Xiao Pingtai made up his mind to get a pack horse as soon as possible. He could ride it by himself and carry something when he was in a war or something happened. But now that I don’t have much money, I rub my shoulders and think about giving up.

After returning to the city, Xiaoping was too impatient to find a partner. After all, he knew the sanding method and the material ratio of Xiaoping Qian Yongle Tongbao. But smelting metal requires not only tools but also experience. This requires professionals. In the gold-producing Minami Shinshu, there are many craftsmen who are familiar with the ash blowing method. They must have had furnaces, crucibles, bellows and other tools. Need to get in touch.

These people are different from the prisoners of war who mined and the common people who were arrested indiscriminately and waiting to be sold. The best among them often have Miao characters and are top craftsmen among the civilians, similar to Hachiban Kinbei and Shiba Jubei. Famous craftsmen such as Kuni Yubei and others were even invited by daimyo. In peacetime, they were engaged in mining and smelting, and during wartime, they relied on the wealth of the mining industry to become stronger and stronger, no less than a samurai.

Relying on the name of Uncle Tsuna (the village chief gained experience from fighting monsters to level up, he will no longer be called the village chief from now on), Koheita made random inquiries and found out that none of the more than ten craftsmen who could open a furnace knew how to mint coins.

These people are all masters at refining gold, and almost all of them are good at practicing silver. Many of them can even work part-time as blacksmiths. Only this counterfeiting of coins has not been done by anyone. This group of people is a family of craftsmen who have served the Yamauchi family for generations. However, the Yamauchi family does not produce copper and no one has allowed them to experiment with counterfeiting coins. How can anyone be omnipotent?

This made Xiao Pingtai confused for a while. I only have theoretical knowledge and I don't know how to operate it at all. I'm afraid I don't even know how to light a stove. After the village chief came back from duty, he had a headache when he heard Xiao Pingtai describe the situation. What the two of them thought at the time was so beautiful. There is no sense of risk at all. The project will be launched as soon as it is said to be launched. He is just a fool who makes decisions based on his forehead.

This thing is not a novel. The protagonist can have whatever he wants. He can show off and be slapped in the face. He can do anything in heaven or on earth. Even if he falls asleep, someone will give him a pillow.

Uncle Tsunasu comforted Heita and said that there was no need to be too anxious and that he could go to Hachimanmonzen Town to inquire about the craftsmen. But the hammer of life gave Xiao Pingtai another heavy blow. In such a large town, there was actually no coppersmith in the town who could mint coins.

This time I was really discouraged. Xiao Pingtai finally realized the hatefulness of the industrial technology monopoly in the old society.

It’s a little bit satisfying, I will continue to save 150,000 yuan for my manuscript, please rest assured!
