"Go to the Lord's Office and play Zhengxi." The new two knelt down and bowed their heads to salute.

Xiaopingta waved his hand and asked them to get up by themselves. Kobayashi Motokura had not finished speaking. Xiaopingta and Yamauchi were listening and were ready to continue listening.

Perhaps it was because the clergy who dared to explore the land of women in Japan (not typos, forced) were all adventurous and truly loved missionary people, and these priests rarely maintained extremely high ethics.

Do not treat land, do not store wealth, do not be close to beauty, be pious and uphold integrity, be content with poverty and enjoy the way.

At least Father William is really like this. His property is nothing but a few clothes donated by believers, a few Bibles, and two pairs of shoes. He usually lives in a small house behind the church, and when he is bright, he gets up to pray in the morning.

Usually, I am either preaching or reuniting with believers. I don’t cook myself. When I am hungry, I go to the believers’ homes to eat some casually. All the dedication I receive in the church is used to buy food and medicine to help believers and poor people.

After the opening of Hamasone Port, merchant ships from Spain and Portugal arrived one after another, and the Manila route, Macau route and Malacca route were opened one after another.

Because of his fruitful missionary activities, the churches in Macau and Manila not only sent him a lot of missionary funds, but also brought him harpsichords and a new priest to assist him in preaching.

The East India Company also purchased land and houses near the church, built Nanman merchant houses and villas and cargo warehouses that would be used when merchant ships temporarily resided.

This is all promised by Yamauchi Yoshinobu, but Kobayashi Motoharu also proposed one thing. Due to the backward tax system, he collected taxes according to the size of the ship, and the prices of goods in the Nanman Empire were significantly higher, so he hoped to renegotiate taxes.

Xiaopingta told him to be calm. This kind of big thing is not something he can speak in the city.

Yamauchi's plan also asked Kobayashi Motoku to continue talking, and the establishment of Nanman shopping malls and housing did not violate the regulations.

Nowadays, there are a few dozen southern barbarians under Hamamatsu City, as well as their entourages and employees hired from Kyushu and Manila, Macau. They temporarily stayed in Hamamatsu during the departure of the merchant ship and maintained normal business activities.

Nanman merchants didn't care much about the special products such as stacks, shell ash and candles produced in Yamanet. What they bought were mainly raw silk produced between Jiaxin, tea produced in Yuanjiang, and some swords, dry goods, and minerals in the seaport. [Note 1]

As for the input, the biggest conglomerate is naturally foreign guns. Some people are willing to take over the business of the conglomerate gun. The arms have been a huge profit industry since ancient times. The second is steel, saltpeter, and gunpowder produced by saltpeter.

This is all the right meaning, nothing is strange. But there is one thing that Xiaopingta thought was very good after hearing it.

In order to resist wind and waves, sea ships will purchase heavy cargo as ballasts, and sometimes they will even transport stones directly to ballasts. The Nanman merchant ships returning from China mainly use bundles of porcelain as ballasts, which is both convenient and profitable.

But when ships are shipped from Manila and Malacca, they also use porcelain to press the basin? Of course it is impossible. Not to mention whether this thing is produced locally, Japan also burns porcelain itself, so it can't sell it at any price.

I don’t know which Spanish captain had a clever mind, but he actually used rice as a ballast.

The Thai region in Southeast Asia is now called Siam. The rice is still ripe three times a year and it exports food to the outside world year by year. At the same time, the climate is warm and the water is sufficient, so I don’t know how to get hungry.

The rice in Siam is extremely cheap, less than one-third of that in the mainland, and the rice of 1,000 taels is worth 3,000 taels from Siam to China.

Regardless of whether the rice and whether it is mixed, it is indeed rice! If it is rice, it means good food, and someone will definitely want it.

With a try-out attitude, the Spanish captain pulled half a ship of Nanman cargo, and half a ship of Thai rice arrived in Hamamatsu. As soon as the ship was unloaded, many people naturally bought Nanman cargo, but no one cared for it.

The main reason is that the rice chambers did not think that the Nanman merchant ships would sell rice, nor did they expect that the Thai rice was so cheap.

The Spanish captain had no choice but to think the price was too expensive, so he set the price as one tael of gold = six stones of white rice.

Of course, he only accepts two precious metal currencies: gold and silver, but not copper coins. However, Hamamatsu’s rice merchants are crazy. One tael of gold is equal to Yongle’s money, and Yiguan’s money can actually buy six stones of rice.

In order to compete for this business, a foot-warming maid was added to the Spanish captain's villa that night.

Hamamatsu's rice merchants rushed to enter into a contract with him, one or two gold and six stone rice, and they would have as much as they would have. They also paid a deposit in advance and paid in advance.

So the Nanman merchant ships knew that Thai rice could be used to exchange for gold by basin, and they could also get advance payment. Whoever does not do such a good thing is a fool.

Both sides laughed at each other for being a fool on the other side, but unexpectedly did such a good thing.

…………

Having said that, Yamauchi's main strategy and Xiaoheita generally understood the development context of Hamamatsu local Christianity and the basic situation of Nanman's trade.

Both of them realized that this matter could no longer be subject to his disorderly development, and the Yamauchi family must intervene in this matter and adjust in a direction that is beneficial to the Yamauchi family.

At the same time, Xiaoheita also asked the Christian person when he believed in religion and when he was baptized. Although he pretended to be curious and asked casually, he was also a little afraid in his heart.

That night, Xiaopingta raised the idea of ​​supervising the Nanman affairs and the main plan of Yamauchi, but the main plan of Yamauchi had a doubt.

The Folang machine gun was cast and learned how to cast it, but the art of art has not been learned yet. If the Southern Barbarians now restrict it, will it lead to the inability to learn art of art?

Xiaopingta was speechless when he heard it, and was controlled by others, so he had to follow him. He relied on his lack of playing cannons, so he proposed the slogan of missionary = business.

If you let me preach here, then the subsequent series of things will be willing to teach you slowly and unfold. If you restrict me and I will directly cut off his development, what will you do to me?

Directly learn from Toyotomi Hideyoshi and "Parenting the Heavenly Recruitment Order"? It's so cool, but it's not suitable now. If you learn from Tokugawa's family, you will restrict the area and you are not allowed to leave.

But this is equivalent to directly banning education, which is definitely not possible. It is necessary to find a safe way. On the one hand, it restricts his development, and on the other hand, it weakens his influence.

What should I do?
