Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 99 Naito's Archery

"It's really amazing! My family wants to see who is so powerful!" Yoshiki Kira clapped and walked over. When they saw Yoshiki Kira, the group of people all bowed down and bowed down, shouting: "My lord!"

"Everyone, please, my family just passed by and heard the movement in the woods to have a look. This shooter is... Naito Masanari?" Kira Yoshitoki took a closer look, isn't this person the bow general Naito Masanari of Saijobei?This gentleman has been leading the archers of the headquarters to practice the ashigaru spear array and gun quilt, which made Kira Yoshishi once mistakenly believe that the 800 people in Saijobei are all ashigaru.

Later, it was Tokyuki Yamamoto who called Masashige Naito and briefly introduced his skills before he realized that there was such a person. Although he knew that his bow skills were very good, but to what extent Kirayoshi had never seen it before. This time If it wasn't for a chance to meet him performing archery, I'm afraid I still won't have the chance to see him.

"Massari's archery is so powerful, why doesn't my family know about it at all? Shi Chang! Do you know Masanari's archery?" Yoshitomo turned around and asked, and the latter shook his head blankly.

"Idiot! Go back and let me know about the brave warriors in each preparation!"

"Your servant, remember!" Yamaoka Shichang suffered another unreasonable disaster, so he could only hide behind and draw circles with resentment on his face.

"Zhengcheng's archery is my negligence! I watched your archery practice just now, it seems that you have the ability to penetrate Yang with a hundred steps! Tell me, what is the farthest target you can hit?"

Naito Masamari said a little cautiously: "The square bamboo bow of my minister can only guarantee the hit within [-] ken. If it is farther away, the arrow will attenuate so much that it will be easily blown away by the wind."

"So that's how it is! Then I will show you the [-]-ken archery for my family!" Kira Yoshitoshi wanted to see where the limit of Naito Masamari was, and directly ordered someone to prepare a [-]-ken-distance target. It was originally just an ordinary archery performance. The ingredients were mixed into an archery exam by him. The grass deer target was not ready, so he had to pull out the arrow and carry this simple wooden target to continue using it.

Who would have expected that the governor of Kira's family would come to watch, which changed the taste of a good entertainment, and everyone was sweating for Naito Masanari. On the contrary, Naito Masanari didn't seem to be very worried, and carefully checked himself It can be seen that this bow has been carefully maintained, and its fine workmanship should be from the hands of famous masters.

"My subject is about to start!" After Naito Masanari saluted Kira Yoshishi, he began to raise the arrow and slowly draw the bow. The direction of the arrow was slightly upward, which seemed to be different from the previous archery. Shi Chang answered in a low voice: "This is a skill of long-distance shooting, which cannot be learned by non-archers."

"Tch, isn't it just projectiles! Our family can do it too! It's just that they can't be accurate!" Yoshitomo Kira didn't take this seriously, "The English longbowmen are just practicing projectiles, and they output sixteen rounds in one minute at full strength. Compared with him who is so slow and leisurely It's much faster to aim and shoot."

Of course, he doesn’t know why, and he doesn’t know that the burst speed is not accurate, and the burst is only 1 minute, and he will not be able to continue shooting for a while. How can continuous, stable and accurate shooting be more stable? Bow and arrow It is a tool for killing opponents from a long distance. Archers who cannot kill enemies are unqualified archers.

"Boom...boom..." The bowstring waved silently, and the arrows flew out of their hands and turned into black arcs, flying to the other side of the forest. After a while, twenty arrows were shot again. In the air, the unlucky warrior on the opposite side ran over with an archery target.

"Sure enough, it's all hit again! It's similar to the target just now, and this ability is really strong! Zhengcheng is now leading the 200 foot light team? Work hard to train these [-] people into a strong bow team, as long as everyone can hit the target The archery target thirty rooms away, the family is satisfied!" Yoshihiro Kira once again stood and talked without pain in his back, and regardless of Naito Masanari's expression secretly wiping cold sweat, he turned and left very satisfied.

After getting new salt in mid-May, Ina Tadashi's family racked their brains on this matter. Within a few days, he made a suggestion to gather the refined sea salt of [-] shi and build a salt town to store it, and then use Liuguan Wen to store it. The high price was pushed to the Kinki market to test the reaction of the market. This batch of refined sea salt was borne by Sanhepu on behalf of the public. The purpose was to let Kira Yoshitoki sell his own salt at a price. Their idea was very good. You're welcome.

In the northern part of the castle town near the lake, a new Shio-cho is built as a distribution center for storage and sales. The core building of Shio-cho is naturally the Shioya, which is the property of the Kira family and is temporarily managed by Tokiyuki Yamamoto. Supervision and appointment rights are temporarily handed over to apprentices by merchants in the town.

The new salt has been sold for five days and the results are not good. The salt merchants who are so expensive do not approve of it, and ordinary residents are also unwilling to buy it because it is too expensive. As a last resort, Kirayoshi used means to force the merchants in Sakamoto Port to jointly subscribe for a hundred stones of refined sea salt. , and promised to repurchase it at the original price if it could not be sold for a month. Only by relying on this method could the gap in the market be barely opened, and one hundred stones of new salt would be sold one after another in the next five days.

When Kira Yoshishishi sent people to train Tennojiya’s Tsuda Sotatsu, he invited Tennojiya to subscribe for a batch of new salt with Tsushima Ohashi’s sale certificate as a pledge, and Tennojiya was also very straightforward and offered [-] without saying a word. Guanwen subscribed for five hundred shi of new salt, and at the same time sent the final payment for making the carriage. The order for the carriage was completed by Hida workers a month ago.

Perhaps because of these two subscriptions, the sales of new salt suddenly flourished, and there was an endless stream of merchants who came and went to buy, and sold another [-] shi of new salt in a few days, but the residents of Sakamoto Castle Town still refused to accept the high-priced new salt. The merchants were also clutching the hundred stones of new salt and waiting to return the goods. Many people were waiting to see Kirayoshi making jokes, but they soon stopped laughing.

A few days later, the Tennoji House came again. This time, the businessman from the Tsuda family asked how much stock was left. When Ina Tadashi’s family reported the figure of [-] koku, the other party ate it without hesitation and asked Ina Whether the Zhong family can decide to sign a contract to supply new salt to Tennoji House for a long time, the Ina Zhong family refused without hesitation, joking how he can do such a thing.

The new salt was sold out in the blink of an eye, and the merchants in Sakamoto Port didn't know what to do with the new salt in their hands. They tentatively put twenty stones in the market, but they were snatched up by the merchants who heard the news. Knowing what is so good about New Salt, I only know that this is probably what it means to hoard goods desperately to make the rarest.

Later, a businessman bought a merchant apprentice from Tianwang Temple House, and learned from the other party the difference between refined sea salt and traditional sea salt. Traditional sea salt has more impurities. The color of salt is various, including blue, black and red. Sea salt has less impurities, and its color is relatively pure. Reddish and slightly green are the main colors.

The pure white new salt is not only pure and bright in color, but also has a much higher salt content than traditional sea salt. If the salt content of traditional sea salt is only about [-]%, the new salt reaches [-]%, which means it has increased by one third. It has a lot of salt content, and at the same time retains the good taste of sea salt, and it was immediately praised in Sakaimachi.

With the endorsement of the authoritative Tennojiya in Sakai Town, the new salt of Sakamoto Shioya immediately became a popular product in the market. Although it did not evolve to the degree of speculation, but because all the new salt in the salt house was sold out, some people still took it The new salt bought was tasted as a gimmick, mixed into food and sold at a high price. The merchants in Sakamoto Port were a little bit crying, and they could only make a little money every time they went back and forth.

The retail price set by Tennoji House is [-] guan and [-] kan, which is two kan more expensive than Tōkaidō. Of course, including logistics costs, even if there are merchants who bring new salt from Tōkaidō, it will not be more expensive than this price. It’s a good deal. Ordinary townspeople can’t buy much new salt. One bucket of salt is enough for a huge family of ten people to eat for a year. Ordinary pickles are of course coarse salt, and no one can be extravagant enough to pickle vegetables with new salt. .

Sanhe's new salt sells surprisingly well, but he also knows very well that the consumption of salt is far less than that of food. One stone of salt is enough to feed 100 people for a year, and the total amount of salt that can be consumed in Jinai is only [-] About [-] shi, some of which are pickled with coarse salt, and the rest is the part that competes with new salt. The current production of new salt in Sanhe is only [-] shi, and the price is relatively high. It is not easy to be digested by Kinai. There is no need to think too much about the extravagant hope of occupying a larger market share.
