After lingering in Kyoto for a few days, I attended some gatherings. The dozens of taels of gold I gave out before also played a role, and I met a few more people. After such a relationship, Kohei stopped and said goodbye to Uesugi Hiroto.

Uesugi Hiroto also needs to make arrangements in Kyoto and Western countries, and need to gain a high enough reputation in Kyoto, and it is even better to shock all the powerful and famous masters along the way to Luo. This way, it will be much more convenient for him to go to Luo. After all, his time is limited, with snow falling on the north road in October and snow melting in March. More than five months a year in winter, he cannot waste all his precious time on the remediation of the salted fish along the way. Once it is delayed, he may not be able to go to Luo.

So he must still stay in Beijing. Seeing that Xiaopingta said he was going to Sakaimachi, he casually asked Xiaopingta why he was going to Sakai. Xiaopingta had no confidential tasks, but just went to Sakai to buy a sample of the cannon, so he casually told Uesugi Hiroto.

Uesugi Hirata learned that Xiaoheita came to buy iron cannons to compare the advantages and disadvantages of iron cannons and went back to make samples. He thought about it himself. Since he didn't have to spend a lot of money to buy it, he would definitely have to build the one with the best performance and the most suitable soldier for him.

Xiaopingta also brags to him, saying that there is a large musket in the South Man that can hit more than 250 meters, and there is a chance of breaking armor within 100 meters. Moreover, the broken one is the Nanman Doll. If it is other lightweight armor or cheap doll pills, it will be even less difficult.

Ue Sugi-Kiga was shocked. It took half a minute to ride a horse and run over it at a speed of 200 meters. If it was a samurai foot, it would take at least several minutes to walk quickly with a hand-held weapon. This was enough for several rounds of iron cannon shooting. Even if he was limited by his vision, he still thought it was a big killer weapon.

If it can be set up at a high place on the top of the city and attack the city gates under the city, they will come to the group of soldiers who are attacking the city gates for a few moments before siegeing the city. These miscellaneous soldiers may even be beaten away before they hit the city gates. Even if they hit the city gates, their strength will be greatly weakened. It's so wonderful.

Moreover, Echigo samurai are very precious, especially those who belong to Uesugi Hiroto, who are all the lifebloods of Uesugi Hiroto. If they can fire three-wheeled guns before their charge and weaken the enemy, wouldn't it be very pleasant to fight? A samurai and twelve samurai gold exchange are simply cheap.

After thinking about it, he thought this thing was good, so he quickly asked Xiaopingtai where he could buy this kind of musket. He went back to imitate it. Xiaopingtai didn't know where there was a Spanish Mushkot big musket, so he could only spread his hands and say that I was a hen. I still want to buy it, but there was no way, and I don't know where it was.

Then Xiaoheita had to suggest to Uesugi Huito that you have such a great face in Kyoto, and all the ministers come to flatter you. They know many missionaries and merchants in the South Barbarians. If you ask them to recommend you, even if you can't get it for a while, ask them to help you buy it back to Macau. At worst, you can wait for two years.

Yes, there are so many Nan barbarians in Kyoto and Sakai, so I can't get a Mushkot musket. Uesugi Huitu said that he understood, and Xiao Heita would be fine, but I just asked him to get one more for him if he could get it. Of course, Uesugi Huitu agreed. With his relationship with Xiao Heita, it was just a matter of one sentence.

So Koheita packed up her parcel and set off for Sakai, the largest commercial city in Japan at this time, a medieval free city with a population of 100,000.

As a metropolis that brings together Eastern and Western cultures and commodities, Sakaimachi is not even controlled by the Miyoshi family, which dominates Kinki. He is managed by the "Great People" of the merchants and autonomous group, and has a considerable degree of autonomy.

The whole Sakai had a rare order and democracy in troubled times. At the beginning, his major matters were now expanded from "ten people" to "thirty-six people" congregation and discussion and decision. At the same time, the entire city was divided into various towns, and the head agent was appointed as the manager, and there were 10-year-olds under the head agent. The whole Sakai was managed in an orderly manner, and I don't know where the many miscellaneous fish names were better than that.

With his wide moat, thousands of hard-working thugs gathered by big merchants here, and at least thousands of iron cannons in stock. No matter how powerful Daming was, he would be able to attack Sakai, even if Sakai was defeated, he would be able to break his teeth.

So even the Miyoshi family only charges them a fixed annual protection fee, and the annual protection fee of Sakaicho is as high as 20,000 guan. These are all real Yongle money, which are spread across the country like gold and silver. The iron cannons of the Western countries, the military horses of the Eastern countries, and the swords and guns of Kinki are attracted by this wealth one by one and gathered in the army of the Miyoshi family.

Such a huge and enviable huge sum of money is enough to arm and maintain a standing full-foot light force of more than 6,000 people. It is the biggest source of wealth for the Three Goods to fight for Kinki. This is not one of the biggest sources of wealth, but it is the clear and clear largest source of wealth. Even if there is silver mine in the Cijin area, the output cannot exceed this number.

In addition, Sakaimachi reserves a huge amount of gunpowder, weapons, armor, food and countless wanderers gathered here. As long as you have money, it is easy to pull up an army of 20,000 to 30,000 people in three or five days? It has a bit of the meaning of European autonomous commercial city-states relying on resources to recruit thousands of mercenaries and go when they call them.

Miyo Changqing was really a wise ruler. After dominating the Kinagan, he exempted a large number of taxes and taxes to protect the legitimate rights and interests of merchants, and removed the numerous domestic customs offices such as Waizumi, Hanoi, Sejin, and Yama Castle. Some customs offices were even set up by the previous general Ashikaga Yoshimasaki, and had a history of hundreds of years.

The annual tribute quota was also determined, and the proportion of currency and physical goods in the annual tribute was stipulated, and grain, salt, and handicrafts were allowed to be discounted for part of the annual tribute. In this way, the rural commodity economy within the Sanhao family ruled was greatly active, and the farmers' production enthusiasm was greatly improved due to the withdrawal of transactions. On the contrary, the basic annual tribute income of Sanhao family ruled further increased, and the lives of the people ruled were also improved.

Miyo Nagaki's enlightened attitude towards business has also been supported by Sakaimachi. The top figures among the merchants in Sakaimachi even had a break with Aba Miyo, Awaji Yasuka Touka Tea Party and Shi, and sang to each other. Miyo's military power figure and Sakai's top economic boss are firmly tied together, and both sides are now in a sweet period.

Sakaimachi was also in his most prosperous and beautiful period.
