A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 146 Lilu’s Cooperation

When Lilu, the president of the Agote Chamber of Commerce, appeared again, Asai Nagamasa could clearly feel that the other party's attitude towards him was more enthusiastic. Obviously, this was the result of his display of strength.

Soon Lilu invited Asai Nagamasa to attend the dinner, and he also took advantage of the opportunity to bring Shima Sakon, A Xiu and Ning Ning to participate. In the entire Nibon, I am afraid that there will never be a more authentic Nanman food than here, but We can't let them miss this opportunity.

It can be seen that the Agote Chamber of Commerce attaches great importance to Asai Nagamasa, so there are countless delicacies at the banquet, which is really an eye-opener for Shima Sakon and others.

There was also a small episode, that is, the dining table they arranged was a huge dining table more than ten meters long, and everyone ate on the same table.

Asai Nagamasa and Axiu didn't feel much about it yet, but Shima Sakon and Xiaonin felt something was wrong.

Because in Nibon, most people adopt a separate meal system, that is, each person has a small table with his own rice, vegetables, soup, pickles, etc.

Shima Sakon felt that as a subordinate, he could not serve at the table with Asai Nagamasa as the master. In addition to being a subordinate of Asai Nagamasa, the little kunoichi was also a woman and could not serve at the same table.

Due to the long-term war in Nibon, many men died in the war, and there was no shortage of women. Women were almost unable to serve as officials in any form in Nibon, so the status of Nibon women was actually very low.

Even in many families with strict rules, the father and son, who are warriors, often finish the meal first, and then the wife eats the leftovers, and then cleans up everything.

Although the little kunoichi was very much loved by his adoptive father, she had never eaten at the same table with him.

However, Nagamasa Asai didn't care about this at all. It didn't matter to him what status, male or female, what mattered was whether the other party was capable and whether he was his friend!
He and Axiu eat together almost every day, who dares to say anything?
Therefore, Shima Sakon and the little kunoichi were slightly excited to taste the feast from Nanban for the first time.

After the dinner, President Lilu once again invited Nagamasa Asai to visit many products of the Argote Chamber of Commerce.

This time, they were not too polite, because after all the previous tests, they had roughly guessed Asai Nagamasa's purpose of coming to Jie Town, at least that's what they thought.

"Is that Rokkaku family so hateful? Don't worry, Mr. Asai, although we are just a chamber of commerce, as friends, we will not sit idly by and ignore it!"

Lilu puffed up her cheeks and looked very angry. The fat chef, black-haired Fernand and others next to her also looked in agreement.

Naturally, Asai Nagamasa was very indignant, and casually said with pity on his face, if it weren't for the barbaric behavior of the Liujiao family, the mine they detected at the beginning might have made the Asai family richer.

After some insinuations and finding out that it was a silver mine, everyone in the Agote Chamber of Commerce became even more unable to sit still.

They all denounced the barbaric behavior of the Rokkaku family, and claimed that as friends they must not sit idly by and ignore it. Although their chamber of commerce cannot provide extra soldiers, they can give a little help in terms of materials.

Asai Nagamasa suddenly smiled with satisfaction. He was not completely lying. The Rokkaku family did capture a mine belonging to the Asai family, and it was indeed a silver mine.

It's just that it's just a shallow mineral vein, and even if it's all mined, it's probably worth [-] to [-] gold. Although it's a considerable fortune, it shouldn't be anything to the Agote Chamber of Commerce.

But this is not important. The important thing is that after the superposition of various factors, the Argot Chamber of Commerce finally made up its mind!

Half an hour later, Asai Nagamasa and the others left the Agote Chamber of Commerce under the moonlight, greeted by the fat chef and others.

Even with Asai Nagamasa's calmness, he couldn't help but smile on his face at this moment, because this time it was really rewarding.

In addition to a large amount of foreign intelligence, the Agote Chamber of Commerce promised on the spot to provide him with 100 Nanman iron cannons free of charge to use against the cruel Rokkajia family.

And they are willing to sell 200 at half price, which is all their current inventory. As for more iron cannons, they still need a certain amount of time to deploy. Even for them, iron cannons are considered a very precious strategic material. .

In addition, for the sake of the friendship between the Asai family and the Argot Chamber of Commerce, they promised that the ammunition of the iron cannon will always be discounted by [-]%.

And if Asai Nagamasa is interested, she can also provide some Nanban specialty products for Asai Nagamasa to sell. This can be regarded as their Agot Chamber of Commerce opening up a new market in Kitaomi.

The sales of Nanman things have always been in the hands of many wealthy merchants in Jiezhen, which has made them a lot of profits, and even made Jiezhen an independent port-type town independent of many daimyos. Now Lilu took the initiative to speak, Asai Nagamasa naturally had no reason to refuse.

Speaking of which, he also happened to have a suitable candidate. The small businessman Michikawa Bie Saburo who had taken the initiative to join him halfway before came in handy.

However, they did not give a clear answer to the large tube mentioned by Asai Nagamasa, but said that they currently have no stock in hand.

Although they have some on their merchant ships, they are used to guard against pirates and sea beasts in the sea. Secondly, they are easily damaged if they are forcibly dismantled. Moreover, even if they sell them to Asai Nagamasa, they may not have qualified ones for a while. If people try to control it, they can only look for opportunities later.

Naturally, Asai Nagamasa would not push for an inch. With these supplies and enough soldiers, with a little training, he could easily defeat three or even five times more enemy troops on flat ground.

In the current era, not counting the earliest contact with the Southern barbarians, Otomo’s family and Shimadzu’s family far away on Kyushu Island, I’m afraid there are only a few Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen who equipped the army with iron cannons on a large scale. People.

The other forces may not all know the iron cannon, but they are reluctant to bear the high price, and few people have really seen the power of the iron cannon in large-scale actual combat, so most of the daimyos have not formed the iron cannon team.

After all, even if the Agote Chamber of Commerce is willing to sell Asai Nagamasa at a discount, the price of each iron cannon is dozens of guns, and then the ammunition costs [-] fen each. Over the years, this is not a small amount.At present, all the daimyo in Nippon do not have the courage to separate soldiers and peasants and form a professional army. How can they be willing to spend such a large sum of money to form an iron artillery team?
However, Asai Nagamasa believes that all this is worthwhile. Of course, he can't cultivate powerful warriors who can fight against demons all at once, and he can't find any extra guardian spirits. The best weapon against demons and ghosts is naturally iron cannons and even Yu Datong.

Moreover, Asai Nagamasa also had a vague guess. In addition to the powerful power carried by gunpowder, the flames and thunderous sounds produced when the iron cannon was fired could also have a certain impact or even damage to monsters to a certain extent. Woolen cloth?

Now as long as he is willing to pay, he can immediately form an iron cannon team of hundreds of people. This is definitely one of the largest, if not the largest, in the Kinki area. You must know that Oda Nobunaga was in Qingzhou that day. The iron cannons displayed during the Battle of the City were only two to three hundred!

Although according to Oda Nobunaga's character, those are definitely not all the iron cannons of the Oda family, but he cannot hide too much, after all, the price of the iron cannons is there.

Of course, although the other party did not make any requests, Asai Nagamasa also took the initiative and was willing to do something within his ability for the other party, which was considered as some kind of reward.

In a transaction, if one party blindly asks for it, it is doomed that this transaction cannot last long, and even turning against each other is not impossible.

However, Lilu didn't take the opportunity to make any request, she just said that it was for the friendship between each other, and as a friend, she was willing to do her part to seek justice for the Asai family.

Asai Nagamasa immediately expressed his gratitude, but of course he wouldn't take it seriously. After all, Lilu is a businessman, and she will definitely pursue profit.

The reason why she said this now was because she felt that the young master Asai Nagamasa probably couldn't bring out many good things, and he probably couldn't make any important decisions on behalf of the Asai family. She might as well take the long term and catch the big fish.

Seeing a group of Southern Barbarians sneaking into their store, Shima Sakon finally couldn't help his excitement: "Young Master, those Southern Barbarians are willing to sell us so many iron cannons. This is really our luck. Ah, under the leadership of the young master, our family will definitely be able to defeat the great enemy of the Liujiao family!"

Although he has not had much contact with iron cannons, as a Kinki native, he is not unfamiliar with the word iron cannons. Moreover, as early as more than ten years ago, Tanegashima Tokiyao, the 14th generation head of the Tanegashima family, won the 2000 The news of buying two iron cannons with two gold coins has already spread throughout most of Nepal.

Although Nippon later imitated many of them locally, which gradually reduced the price of iron cannons, there is still a big gap between them and Nanman iron cannons. Not only is the output extremely low, the power is inferior, but the damage rate is also extremely high.

But what the young master bought this time was a real Nanman iron cannon!
Asai Nagamasa is also very pleased. Although Shima Sakon has never attacked the Asai family, and although he has not promised any land or official position to the other party so far, the other party already regards him as a member of the Asai family. Member, that's good.

"Don't worry, Sakon, my goal has never been the Rokkaku family. Rokkaku Chengzhen is just a stumbling block on my way."

Perhaps for his father Asai Hisamasa, the Rokkaku family was more ferocious than tigers, but in fact Asai Nagamasa did not have any fear, and he even had a faint contempt for him.

Because the Rokkaku family who suppressed Asai Hisamasa all his life, from his daimyo down to his retainers, almost all of them were considered incompetent by history.

Among the many Nippon Sengoku games he played in his previous life, if Oda Nobunaga's military commander is 100, the original Asai Nagamasa is between 85 and 90, and his cheap apprentice Miyabe Tsugujun is probably 60 Between 70 and 40, most of the Rokkaku family's important ministers are hovering around 50-60, and only a handful are over [-]. Even the Asai family's retainers group, headed by Umi Akame, may actually be better in terms of overall quality.

The reason why the Asai family was so badly beaten by the Rokkaku family is that there is indeed a big gap between the two sides in terms of national strength and savings. After all, the Asai family was just a rich man in Kitaomi a few decades ago, but the Rokkaku family has been around for hundreds of years. of long history.

On the other hand, it is entirely due to the fact that the current governor of the Asai family, Hisamasa Asai, is too incompetent. If his commanding ability were numerically quantified, I am afraid that it would be only 20, or even lower, as low as single digits or something. .

As long as an outstanding daimyo is replaced, defeating the Rokkaku family is only a matter of time, especially after possessing guardian spirits such as Huanglong and Onmyoji. For him, the Rokkaku family has never been a huge obstacle.

What's more, after learning that there are many magical alien races besides humans, and knowing that there is a broader world outside of Nibon, how could he limit his vision to Nibon?
When Asai Nagamasa said this, Shima Sakon immediately blushed because he immediately understood what the other party meant.

Not only because he had listened to all the information before, but also because at this time, the warrior Ji named Axiu was holding the map and race that marked the entire world, which was called a planet by the Agote Chamber of Commerce. The instrument, or the sphere of the instrument of Ma Qisi, represents the ambition of the young master.

"Yes, young master, Sakon is willing to accompany the young master to conquer the world!"

"Ning Ning is also willing to contribute to Lord Nagamasa!"

The little kunoichi also took the initiative to jump out. Unlike the smile she had most of the time before, her little face was now full of seriousness and seriousness.

She was really touched today.

In the past, although she was very favored by her adoptive father, she had never eaten at the same table with him because this was an ironclad rule in the family.

But today, she and the young master of the Asai family shared delicious food at the same table, and she even tentatively snatched some food from the plate next to the left hand of the other party, but the other party was still not angry at all, even as if he was not angry at all. Seeing the same thing, he was eating his own meal.

At that moment, she completely made up her mind that she would truly devote herself to the other party.

This time, she was not doing it for the wealth promised by the other party, nor was it to repay the other party's kindness for saving her foster father and foster brother, but just for herself!

"Haha, okay, Sakon, Ning Ning, believe me, I will never regret your choice today. Our journey is not only for Nippon, but also for the entire Majiasi world."

According to Lilu, the leader of Argot, Marcus is the name of this world.

Seeing this scene, Axiu, who was holding the planetary globe next to her, couldn't help being a little dazed. Should she also express something?But how to express it?
