The battle in Kanto has come to an end again, but Xiaoheita's plan to make money has just begun.

Uesugi Hiroto naturally retreated with hatred when he went out of the battle with Kanto. Isn't it too much to grab it? Minami Musashi didn't completely break in. He was trapped in Kawagoe Castle for more than a month, and he almost stuck his old capital in it.

Fortunately, except for a tough battle between Kawakawa and Murakami Yoshiqing and a few people died during the attack on Kawago Castle, Echigo's crowd basically died. Although the food was not rushed, everyone had enough food in the past two or three months. The robbed property can also be taken home to improve their lives and change into new clothes during the New Year. [Note 1]

The Yamauchi family basically didn't get anything good to send troops this time, showing their presence in Kanto. In addition, since the scale of this war was not as large as the first battle to enter and exit Kanto, the troops mobilized were relatively few, so the Ejiri crowd was not mobilized at all. [Note 2]

Since there is no need to mobilize the Ejiri this time, Ejiri does not need to order troops to fight, so it has nothing to do with Ejiri Castle, Koheita, who temporarily leads the Ejiri crowd. Koheita is happy to be idle and not have to participate in the war. He is actively trying to train weavers and general craftsmen, and recruit skilled town farmers to revitalize Ejiri Town.

Susaka Eimon, favored by Yamauchi Yoshiji, miraculously promoted to deputy commander by Imai Sohisa after returning to Sakai. He brought more than ten powerful interns to represent Naya, a business giant, to Ejiri to open Naya's first store on Higakikukaido. [Note 3]

Under Yamauchi Yoshiji's secret instruction, Koheita opened the door of convenience to Zuoemon, and soon Zuoemon obtained the distribution rights of Ejiri. As for the general distribution rights, it depends on whether he can pound Ejiri's local businessmen group and then contract more sales shares than them.

Xiaoheita didn't only sell straw mats in Ejiri. So many derivatives were in short supply in the Warring States Period when supplies were scarce. Many farmers were reluctant to wear a pair of small straw sandals, and children in teenage farmers grew up barefoot. The lord gave a few pairs of straw sandals to a year, which was considered a kind of welfare treatment, but they didn't have to worry about sales.

Susuke Zaemon now uses Ejiri stack as the entry point, and the powerful dragon Naya is equivalent to officially declaring war with the local merchants of Ejiri. The commercial struggle is as fierce and extraordinary, and there are many people who are living to the death.

It can be imagined that Susuke Zaemon will have a very unhappy life for a long time when he has not yet gained a foothold and has difficulty in cutting the road. He may even encounter unexpected dangers often. However, if he is burdened with the wealth and business talents of Imai Sokura, and Yamauchi Yoshiji's secret indulgence indulgence, he will probably be abandoned in one sentence.

Xiaopingta will definitely help his old partner in what he can, and he will have to find a way out for the rest.

Because the first batch of Ejiri stacks were woven soon. In addition to dozens of sheets that were not skilled at the beginning, the workers were not skilled, the technology was not very good, and the woven were not very good, the Ejiri stacks produced later were no less than the famous Tsuyama stacks and Yuzuka stacks in both techniques and materials.

Everyone is weaving. One is a family-style individual weaving for small farmers during slack farming. The output is unstable and the quality is high or low. The other is a centralized weaving of large handicraft factories with unified scale and procedures to ensure that the level of materials is almost the same and the weaving process is exactly the same.

Except for a few weavers who are particularly skilled and have very particular materials, they may be better than Ejiri on a certain stack, but after all, a few. Ejiri can completely defeat this occasional exquisite product with the advantages of roughly the same mass of quality. This is the advantage of the progress of the times.

The Ejiri businessman, who was forcibly suppressed by Yamauchi Yoshiji and Koheita, came to receive sales share with dissatisfaction, found that the Ejiri Die was indeed very good, and his spirits were much calmer. The active-minded businessman was already thinking about how to promote the Ejiri Die, which was one tenth cheaper than the market price.

Except for a few businessmen who were worried about selling salted fish and seafood or horses and animals, they had no idea of ​​selling stacking. The other businessmen had already opened their little plans, and there were many golden eyes shining in their eyes.

Susuke Zaemon was full of wind and became the deputy commander in his twenties and was appointed as the dominant person of the Ejiri branch. At this moment, he was in high spirits and was about to show off his strength. He didn't know what a good idea was, but he actually had to host 10,000 Ejiri Deli in one breath, and promised to increase the number of hostings in a few months. Such a large-scale investment, coupled with the momentum of a successful businessman from the inside, made the Ejiri businessmen's hostility towards him seem to deepen a little.

But Xiaopingta naturally doesn't care. He just hopes that the more he sells, the better. After all, hundreds of looms produce more than 200 stacks per day. Due to the output of rush, he can produce at least more than 30,000 stacks per year. Considering that the normal Japanese-style houses only have one floor, the area is generally relatively large. The tatami used in the house is just a few hundred pieces, and the annual output of 30,000 sheets can only be said to be a drop in the bucket in such a large market. [Note 4]

In short, what Xiaoheita imagined is being realized quickly at an incredible speed.

[Note 1]: This is simply a vicious cycle. If you have no food to eat and use it, you go to Kanto to grab it. Then you are deeply trapped in the quagmire of the Kanto War and have never been able to pull out troops and enough money to go to Kanto. If you have no choice, you think about going to Kanto to grab it. The time is delayed longer and the longer, and finally dragged Kenshin Uesugi to death.

[Note 2]: The reason is very simple. This battle is considered a success. Everyone plans to follow Uesugi Hiroto and hold his thighs behind him to grab a fight. This kind of good thing must be the first for the Yamauchi, and the Ejiri, will have to wait until the tough battle to take place. Everyone can understand this reason. If there are good things, they must focus on their own people first.

[Note 3]: Just call it a store, it can be understood as a branch store. As for why it is called a store? Because a merchant who sets up a store in other places and maintains local commercial rights for the main store is called a businessman, an independent businessman.

In addition, the merchant has another meaning, which refers to merchants who engage in foreign trade. At that time, there was a symbolic gate on the border between North Korea and China, called the "forbidden gate". Those who crossed this gate to do business were called merchants.
