Goldfinger of the Heavens

Chapter 253 Duan Tianya

"Xiao Linzheng, I didn't expect to see the best Song brocade of the Ming Dynasty here. This kind of Song brocade is quite rare even in the markets of the capital of the Ming Dynasty." Duan Tianya said while holding the brocade in his hand.

"This kind of brocade has only started to appear in the Iga area in the last six months. Brother Duan usually knows how to practice kung fu, and it's normal if he doesn't know about it." The Dongying warrior named Xiao Linzheng laughed.

Three years ago, Duan Tianya came to the Iga School of Dongying to learn ninjutsu with a letter written by the God of Iron Bravery Hou Zhu Wushi. Although there were some twists and turns in the process, he also became a registered disciple of the head of the Iga School, Iga Musashi, as he wished. In the past three years, in order to live up to the expectations of the God of Tiedan, Duan Tianya has studied hard and practiced hard. Although he is the latest to enter the school, he is the strongest among the young disciples of the Iga Sect. He was accepted as a disciple by Iga Musashi a year ago , Xiao Linzheng next to him is Duan Tianya's best friend in Japan.

"It only appeared in the last half a year? As far as I know, this Song brocade was produced in the Suzhou Mansion of the Ming Dynasty. Has the pirate problem near the Ming Dynasty subsided recently?" Duan Tianya asked.

The so-called "pirate trouble" that Duan Tianya said was actually Japanese pirates, but now they are on their territory after all, so naturally they should be careful when speaking. The reason why Duan Tianya traveled all the way to Dongying to learn martial arts is that Tiedan Shenhou hopes to use this to deepen his understanding of Dongying, and learn from the barbarians to control the barbarians, which will help deal with the Japanese pirates' rebellion in the future.

"That's not true. These brocades are all produced in Japan, not Ming Dynasty!" Xiao Lin said with a smile.

"Ah, how is this possible?" Duan Tianya was taken aback. The craftsman's craftsmanship is the same as the martial artist's martial arts. It is usually not rumored. How could Dongying have the technology to produce Song brocade, and he noticed that there were many booths around There are Song brocades, if there are one or two brocades, it's fine, but it's a bit abnormal to appear on a large scale.

"Senior Brother Duan, you are from Daming, I wonder if Brother Duan has heard of Huang Chong and Huang Shiyi?" Xiao Linzheng asked.

"Huang Shiyi?" Duan Tianya frowned slightly, "This name is somewhat familiar."

Duan Tianya is one of the most valued disciples of Lord Tiedan, and he has also been in contact with some information processed by Hulong Villa. He only thinks the name is familiar, as if he has heard it somewhere, but he can't remember it.

"Yes, it was brought by Huang Shiyi. It is said that he brought this technology from Daming to Tajima, and set up a factory in Tajima to produce a large amount of cloth and satin. Now it includes Iga, Yamato, and Tajima. This kind of exquisite cloth and satin is sold in more than [-] countries in China." Xiao Linzheng explained.

"Then this person is really powerful." Duan Tianya said with emotion, he had stayed in Dongying for three years, but he was very aware of the chaos in Dongying. One can imagine the difficulty for an outsider to occupy such a huge market.

"That's not true, Senior Brother Duan, you should really go out and walk around, keep practicing, you don't know what happened, the most powerful thing about this Huang Shiyi is not in business, but ingenuity, the power of Liu Sheng's family is now It is in full swing, even our Iga faction has to form an ally with the Yagyu family, and it is this Huang Shiyi who promotes all of this. Brother Duan, don't you realize that the lives of the people here are better now than they were three years ago? Is it a lot?" Kobayashi asked.

"Indeed." Duan Tianya nodded. He had discovered it from the very beginning, but he didn't say it out loud. It was on this street that he met Xiao Linzheng for the first time three years ago. At that time, there were refugees everywhere. Although there are still Beggars and refugees, but compared to three years ago, it is much better.

"This is because more than half a year ago, our Iga faction and the Yagyu family jointly opened two factories in Iga, recruiting a large number of people, so that these refugees have something to do and can get wages. This has improved. people's lives."

"Oh, Huang Shiyi also promoted this matter?" Duan Tianya asked.

"Yes." Kobayashi nodded.

"It seems that I am really too addicted to practicing martial arts, and I don't even know what is happening around me."

"That's right, Senior Brother Duan, if my younger brother remembers correctly, the last time you left the gymnasium was more than a year ago." Xiao Lin said with a smile.

"Yes." Duan Tianya nodded and said, "One year, three months and seventeen days."

"You remember it clearly."

"It's nothing. I happened to reply a letter to some of Daming's friends that day."

"Brother, let's go and look elsewhere."

"Okay, Junior Brother Xiaolin, why don't you tell me about this Huang Shiyi." Duan Tianya was very curious that a person from the Central Plains could do such a big thing in Dongpu.

"Actually, I don't know much. It's all based on hearsay. It's hard to tell whether it's true or false. However, Huang Shiyi's martial arts skills are extremely high. This is certain. Before Senior Brother Duan and you joined the Iga Sect, at that time I As soon as he entered the teacher's school, he once visited the Iga Gymnasium and had a match with the master. Although the outcome is unknown, the master who served him praised this person's martial arts. This time, the Yagyu family and us He was the one who facilitated the opening of the Igapai joint factory," Kobayashi said.

When Duan Tianya heard the words, he immediately asked: "Oh, and at this time, Junior Brother Xiaolin, do you know where this Mr. Huang is? I want to come and visit in person."

"I don't know about this, but I think it should be at Liusheng's house. A year ago, Mr. Huang married Miss Liusheng Xueji, the eldest lady of Liusheng's family. I heard that the two often traveled around Dongying after they got married. Brother Duan, if you want If you visit him, you can go to the master."

"Let's go!" Upon hearing this, Duan Tianya turned around and walked back, not wanting to stroll anymore.

"Senior Brother Duan." Xiao Linzheng was much faster than him. Before Duan Tianya could turn around, he grabbed Duan Tianya's sleeve, pointed at Duan Tianya and said, "No matter what happens today, Senior Brother Duan, you have to accompany me." Finish this street, let’s talk about it, and now the master is retreating when you go back, so you won’t be able to see the master.”

"Uh, alright!" Duan Tianya could only helplessly agree.

"By the way, Junior Brother Xiaolin, who has the best swordsmanship in Dongpu?" Duan Tianya asked. After three years of hard training, he has mastered most of the Iga faction's martial arts, but he is not satisfied with this, he still He wanted to learn more martial arts and learn more about Dongying martial arts. He just mentioned Huang Shiyi's martial arts just now, so he took advantage of the situation to ask.

"The swordsmanship is the best, and that must belong to Senior Miankuangshiro, and his phantom sword can be regarded as the best in Japan." Xiao Linzheng thought for a while, and said.

"Miankushiro?"

"Yes, but senior Mian Kuang Shiro has always been elusive, and it is even more difficult to find than Huang Shiyi. Brother, if you want to visit him, I am afraid it depends on your luck." Xiao Linzheng said with a smile. As Duan Tianya's good friend, he naturally He knew what Duan Tianya was thinking.

"That's right, let's go, we'll go back after shopping."
