Chapter 1489: Morino Kiyoshi's Farewell! Ming, Ming!

The clouds are like light ink, driven by the cold wind, slowly moving from the northern sky to the southern sky. A faint shadow enveloped the northern sea, and gradually covered the long boats on the shore.

The road ahead is a low-hanging shadow, like the abyss in which Buddha looked down. Dozens of Japanese and Korean craftsmen were either chanting devoutly or crying in despair, some were stumbling, and some were feeding tigers with their bodies. In this way, they stepped across the Shiribetsu River, stepped on the reeds and grass of the Ezo Land, said goodbye to everything in the past, and boarded a mountain ship like the Santsu River. And those cries that came from afar made the compassionate Master Juehui couldn't help but lower his eyelids and lament in a low voice.

"Namo Myoho Lotus! All living beings are attached, and all living beings suffer. This is the reincarnation of fate, the calamity promised by the Buddha! After this calamity, the door of infinite light will arrive after the death of all good believers... Namo Amitabha ! Infinite light and infinite life..."

"Namo Amitabha Night! Duotagadu Night..."

Having said that, Master Juehui was sincere and recited the Rebirth Mantra for the believers who sacrificed their lives to feed tigers and boarded the boats in the mountains and seas. After completing this meritorious deed, he felt at ease and whispered compassionately.

"Eighty-one craftsmen, one hundred and eighty stone meters, and a broken down merchant ship...With these additional burdens, the Shantar people's fleet will inevitably sail slowly!..."

"When the Shantao fleet leaves the coast and separates from the Shantao cavalry and tribal warriors on the shore...the big boats of our Tiantai Zong Shui Zhan attack the slow boats of the Yuan invaders, then we will be able to capture them easily, just like history reappearing! …”

"These Yuan Kou's gold clan are so rich! Such a big deal, hundreds of kilograms of gold, they took it out as soon as they said it, and they didn't even go back to withdraw the money. It was beyond my expectation... I didn't know they How much gold is there in their big ship? Where is their tribal camp? How much gold is there and how many people are guarding it? Can they take advantage of it? And if they capture their noble chief, they can extort a lot of gold. A ransom…”

Thinking of these beautiful things, Master Juehui raised the corners of his mouth and his eyebrows became more charitable. Of course, he was definitely not greedy, but to resist the evil spirits, eliminate demons and defend the Dharma, and to fulfill the responsibilities of Buddha and Shanmen! Moreover, what is even more urgent is that after acquiring this large sum of Shantao gold, it will be just in time for next year's big deal, a big deal that happens once every ten years! As long as you invest gold and make a circle in the big deal, no matter how much gold you invest, you can earn back several times! Open once and eat for ten years...

"Namo Amitabha Night..."

"Even if the sky is clear and there is no rain, my clothes are still stained deep in the clouds... Zusang, you see, this is really a season that is as clear as spring and the light mist is like a dream! In such a season, we can have a visit to the Ezo North Sea It’s so beautiful to meet you!…”

The sun disappeared among the clouds, and the shadows were like thin veils, gently embracing the businessmen by the river. Morino Kiyoshi raised his head and glanced at the sunny and cloudy sky, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face. He was in a cheerful mood and recited two lines of Tang poetry with a smile, which was quite appropriate. Then, he turned over the account book in his hand and counted it with a smile.

"Ancestor, let me read you the account books of this transaction! There are three hundred and fifty sets of Tang books, a total of five thousand and forty-eight books. According to one hundred books and one catty of gold, the total is fifty catties of gold. One thousand and ten meters Eighty kilograms, according to fifty kilograms per catty, a total of twenty kilograms of gold . One thousand and eighty kilograms of salt, just five kilograms of gold as a supplement. One thousand and eighty pieces of swords, guns, bows and armor, mainly three hundred pairs of armor and body pills, and a total of seventy-five kilograms of gold. A damaged merchant ship, twenty pounds of gold..."

"Books, rice, salt, weapons, and boats, these five items combined are one hundred and seventy kilograms of gold. Is that right?..."

"Yes, God bless you! Sen, the salt you brought this time is of very good quality. I hope you can bring more salt for the next transaction! We will buy it at a higher price!"

"Ah, yes! Next transaction..."

Morino Kiyoshi smiled politely, bowed respectfully to the "Golden God of Wealth", and bypassed the topic of the next transaction. Then, he flipped through the account books and talked about the bulk of this transaction, which is also the most profitable part of the gold trade, the "artisans"!

"Witnessed by the Buddha! For this transaction, we brought eighty-one craftsmen. One North Korean master medical craftsman is counted as fifty kilograms of gold..."

"Carpentry category: Five big craftsmen, mainly engaged in construction, repairing houses, temples, and castles. Six craftsmen, mainly engaged in wood processing, repairing furniture, cabinets, and drawers... Ironworking category: Five casters, casting Bronze bells, iron pots, farm tools. Four knifesmiths, making ordinary knives and weapons... Textiles: four weavers, one dyer, and one embroiderer, all from Omi. Specialize The village of Monoribu is able to cooperate with each other... Ceramics and earth-burning categories: The potter who burns pottery, the bricklayer who burns tiles, and the earthworker who excavates each are four people, all from the same town and city, and they are also invited together... The lacquer carving category: There are three people each for lacquer craftsmen and carvers who are good at carving... plus two people for leather work, two people for printing, two people for Korean woodworking, and two people for ship work, two ordinary Korean shipwrights...

"There are fifty-four workers in total. Depending on the skill, the price ranges from five to ten kilograms of gold... Well, let me do the mental arithmetic. The total is... four hundred and two kilograms of gold. Let me count you as four hundred kilograms of gold! ... "

"Finally, farmers are easier to find and the prices are much lower. There are three tea farmers, four mulberry farmers, five hemp farmers, seven various fruit farmers, and seven animal farmers raising livestock and poultry. The total number of farmers is twenty-six People, if you give me two or three kilograms of gold each, then it will be sixty kilograms of gold..."

"Buddha bless you! The total weight of these 81 craftsmen is 510 kilograms of gold, is that right?"

"Yes! The Lord God is your witness! So, the total amount of our transaction this time is 680 kilograms of gold?... Sen, my warrior, I have given the gold to your people, have you finished counting it now?"

"Xiang Erlang?"

"Ah! The owner of the house has finished counting and weighing... but... but..."

"Just what? The generous golden chieftain is standing here! Could he have paid less for our goods?..."

"Ah! No, no! Not less, but maybe, maybe more... We weighed 700 kilograms, but we didn't remove the straw bags containing gold. …”

“Uh! Zusang, what do you think?”

“Haha! God bless you! Sen, this extra twenty kilograms of gold will be regarded as the deposit for the next trade with you! We want all the Korean doctors, whether male or female, as long as they are capable. By the way, we also give priority to skilled shipwrights. As for the armor you built, remember to make it bigger next time. And the good white salt, bring more next time! …”

“Ah! Good! Good! Next time...next time for sure! Zusang, then this time...the silver and goods are settled?”

“What do you mean by settled? I don’t understand what you are saying. It’s settled! …”

“Hi! ! …”

The transaction was completed, Sen Yeqing’s face was flushed, and he bowed more than 90 degrees again. And Zuvaro was smiling, obviously very happy. He took a wine bag sewn from deer stomach from Luo Shanda and stuffed it into Sen Yeqing’s hand with a smile.

"Come on! Sen, try this wine! This is the good wine from my hometown, you must have never tasted it!"

"Hey! What does this wine taste like?...hiss!...cough cough!!..."

After taking a sip of tequila, Sen Yeqing's face from neck to face turned red. He was shocked, and a mouthful of anger burned from his stomach to his throat, and he couldn't stop coughing at all!

This bag of tequila is a specialty of the kingdom's craft brewing, with high-sugar honey and pineapple juice, at least 30 or 40 degrees! Not to mention, the spicy taste in the wine, Sen Yeqing has never tasted it, like a burning fire.

"Haha! How about it, refreshing!..."

Seeing Sen Yeqing coughing, Zuvaro laughed, drank two sips of spicy wine, and stretched out his hand to Losanda. Losanda was helpless, sighed, took out a small bag of Mayan cigarettes from his arms, and reluctantly handed one to Zuvaro.

"Two! One for our old friend too!..."

"."

"."

Mori No Kiyoshi widened his eyes and watched the two nobles from the Shan Tatar Mongol light two strange "moxa sticks" and stuff them into two small corncob pipes. Then, Zuvaro took one in his mouth and stuffed another into Mori No Kiyoshi's mouth.

"Uh! What is this? What does this smell like?!...Oh!"

After taking two puffs of the special magic cigarette, Mori No Kiyoshi suddenly opened his eyes and felt that his whole body was floating. His thoughts were instantly clear, and he felt the strange "spice" he had never experienced before, and a question inexplicably emerged in his mind.

"Buddha! What on earth are these spicy wine and cigarettes? Is it the strange witchcraft passed down by the Mongolian Golden Clan?..."

"Or, do these northern golden tribes have a more special origin? The new Shanta nobleman next to him seemed to mention some difficult words when he spoke to Caishan. What is the sea in the west and the sea in the east? The white-skinned evil demon, the great Khan of the tribe?..."

"Sen, Sen! Wake up, wake up! How is it? How does the divine cigarette given by the Lord God taste? It is the top enjoyment, right?!..."

Zuwaro laughed and gently patted Senye Qing's face, awakening him from the ethereal divine cigarette. After this unprecedented warm hospitality, Zuwaro's expression became serious, staring at Senye Qing's face, holding the other's wrist tightly, and whispered again.

"Mori! When is the next transaction? Is it still in May?..."

"How many warriors did the sorcerer on your ship bring? How dare he set his sights on us and destroy the precious trade between our friends?..."

"Buddha! Ancestor! After all, I am still a disciple of the Miaoyuan Court and a businessman of the Tiantai Sect. I have to leave myself a way out..."

"Mori! Such trade is good for all of us! Do you want to watch the big monk who appeared out of nowhere destroy our golden friendship? What is his plan? Tell me! I will send warriors to get rid of him..."

Facing Zuvaro's questioning, Morino Kiyoshi held his pipe in his mouth and smiled bitterly. He took a deep breath of the strange smoke, and after a long while, he pointed to the warship parked on the seashore without any expression.

"Ship?"..."

"Hey! Ancestor! I sincerely hope to maintain our precious trade. Although the sect has only sent Master Juehui, the greed behind this is a group of high-level monks. It is very difficult to solve it!..."

Morino Kiyoshi took another puff of cigarette, his eyes blurred for a while, and then continued to explain.

"Master Juehui relies on the monk soldiers in his hands and the Omi monks behind him. The monks who lead the Tiantai sect rely on the relationship of inheritance from generation to generation and the influence on the nobles in the Ashikaga shogunate. In the northeast of Kanto, it is the Kanto Kanrei Uesugi and the Koga Kubo Ashikaga Nariuji. These two important forces, the great monks in the sect can pass on the words..."

"It's like a golden peach forest with a bunch of golden peaches. They were originally planted by you and me... But now, the peaches are being targeted by greedy monkeys, who have come to show their claws. This monkey is very arrogant and will not restrain himself until he is beaten... But if the monkey is really beaten to death, a group of arrogant monkeys will appear behind him, and even a self-righteous monkey king will appear... "

"If you continue to fight, the monkeys will be in pain, and they will chirp all over the mountain. The real beasts in the whole mountain will have to hear it! And those real tigers, wolves, and beasts, looking over with wide eyes, are not this group of natural beasts. A greedy monkey can't compare..."

"Zu! Do you understand my difficulty? I can't decide the Tiantai Sect, and I don't have any decision-making power. I definitely want to trade with you forever, but what will happen next and how far the situation will go, I said no It counts! So, I can only avoid it and go to other places until everything settles..."

Speaking of this, Morino Kiyoshi shook his head and handed the still-lit sacred smoke to Xiang Erlang's hand. Then, he straightened his clothes and bowed deeply, his head almost lowering than his knees. What he said next shocked both Zuvalo and Lathander, and they opened their mouths in surprise.

"Zusang! Witness the Buddha! Thanks to your fate, these two gold trades have saved me thousands of kilograms of gold... And with these real currencies and the efforts of the sect, I finally got a chance. , squeezed into next year's Kanhe trade, and joined the Ming Dynasty's tribute fleet..."

"Although the tribute fleet heading to the Ming Dynasty next year is controlled by the Hosokawa clan and dominated by wealthy merchants from Sakai Port, the Ming Dynasty actually has little demand for our goods. Only by transporting enough gold and silver currency can we purchase large quantities. Good things from the Ming Dynasty, including the most Exquisite porcelain and brocade! And none of these wealthy merchants have as much gold currency as I do! The Ming treasures they can buy are always limited. They need more gold, and the tribute fleet also desires more. of gold!…”

"And I, Morino Kiyoshi, will represent the Omi business group and the nobles of the shogunate, and with the approval of the wealthy merchants of Sakai Port, board the ship with a huge amount of gold currency! My gold is the ticket for admission. I can make the tribute fleet, Buy back more priceless Ming treasures. When the goods are shipped back to Japan and resold, the profits will be doubled. My participation will double the fortunes of the merchants in Sakai Port! ...So, thanks to the generosity of the Golden Clan, I finally got my dream. Eligibility for tribute trade!…"

Speaking of this, Morino Kiyoshi's eyes flashed with sparkle, like a traveler who had trekked for decades and finally reached the top of Mount Fuji. The torrent of gold, no matter how many times it goes around, will eventually flow to the black hole of gold and silver in the entire world, to the most prosperous and prosperous Ming Dynasty! Riding the river of gold and being able to participate in the tribute trade means that Omi's wealthy businessman Morino Kiyoshi has finally squeezed into the top business circle of the Republic of China and became one of the most famous businessmen in the entire Republic of China!

"Zusang! Thank you for your love! Next March, I will board the Sakai Port fleet that is suitable for tribute trade. Around April or May, I will already be in the most prosperous port in the world, the most prosperous port in the Ming Dynasty. The prosperous city of Ningbo! And between August and September, I should have arrived at the magnificent capital of the Ming Dynasty with the tribute mission to meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty..."

"When the tribute trade returns and the fleet returns to Sakai Port with countless treasures of the Ming Dynasty... maybe it will be the spring of the year after tomorrow! If by that time, the monkeys have not attracted those beasts, our golden peach forest will , it can be continued! Moreover, there will be a real path in this golden peach forest, connecting the truly wealthy merchants of the Ming Dynasty who can bring out all their goods!

"What! Sen! You are going to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty!"

Hearing these words, Zuvalo opened his mouth in shock, and his expression became complicated. He was still trying his best to sneak into the Jurchen team going to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty with Ali, the chief of the Harmans, and bring dozens of kilograms of gold with them. However, he did not expect that before his plan was revealed, Morino Kiyoshi boarded the ship directly and was going to meet the Ming Emperor with the tribute fleet of Kazuto!

What's even more irritating is that when these people go out, they can bring thousands of kilograms or even more gold and go to trade without any care! Aren't they afraid of being robbed by the vicious Ming army?

"Ancestor! The fate of good and evil karma is not over yet; if the fate is not over, we will meet again! I believe that you and I will meet again eventually and restart this great river of gold trade! But today we say goodbye, the mountains are high and the river is long, please come back Please take good care of yourself and be careful at sea..."

"Namo Amitabha! Life is separated, death is reunited, life and death are impermanent, and fate meets immediately. May the Buddha protect you and me!..."

After reciting these two Buddhist chants, Morino Kiyoshi smiled and solemnly collected Zuvaro's gift, the corncob pipe that he had never seen before. Then, he turned around gracefully, taking Shojiro who was following him step by step, and said goodbye to his beloved Golden Chief and the distant sea of ​​Ezo~~
