To put it bluntly, traditional Japanese merchants are a country in the middle. Taking Jie Town as an example, they have their own armed forces. They only pay seats and military service money to the local powerful Daming. The general merchants' armed forces do not directly intervene in the war between Daming.

After learning that the Nanbarbarians were selling opium in Jetacho, my first thought was to bring troops to Jetacho to Jetacho for a ban on smoking. When I thought about it, I realized that Jetacho was neither my territory nor even my lord Oda Nobunaga's territory. At most, I had ten people in Jetacho, and even if they were temporarily dependent on the business forces of the Oda family, His Highness Oda Nobunaga could not even recruit soldiers in Jetacho. The tens of thousands of yuan a year were not in vain.

‘…If this poison is a disaster, it will be very great. If you use it, you need to be careful.’ I told Ashi to write a letter about opium to Oda Nobunaga, which mainly emphasized its toxicity and addictiveness, and it only mentioned the efficacy of treating diseases. Then I issued an order to strictly prohibit opium from smoking in my family. No matter who discovered it, he would immediately withdraw from the official position. (Forget about this matter at Takenaka, those who do not know will not be guilty.)

Then I mobilized my wives at home to write letters to my family to describe the harm of opium, and unite my own people in advance. Opium, no matter how you are, your highness Yuan Yijing is reborn and brave, as long as you get stuck in it, it will immediately turn into a soft-footed shrimp.

Seven days later, Ashi received a reply from Oda Nobunaga, 'Mr. Husband, His Highness, Minister of the Taizheng, is going to Jecho in early September, and ask Husband to prepare first.'

‘That’s it, then okay.’ I wonder if Oda Nobunaga wants to go to Keicho to ban smoking. But let’s talk about this when you arrive at Keicho. ‘Did the opium matter be mentioned in the letter?’

Ashi looked at the letter and said, "The brother just said in the letter, I understand."

‘Oh.’ I replied. It seems that Oda Nobunaga didn’t take this matter too seriously. Thinking about it, it was just a very toxic drug in Oda Nobunaga’s eyes. Eating too much ginseng will kill people. ‘Your Highness September has left half a month to go to Jecho, and it seems that he has to prepare early. Ashi, I will leave your home to you.’

‘Don’t worry, my husband, it’s just that the journey is hard, so why not bring a few concubines with you.’

‘Miaozi must go, so let’s take Sister Koba and Hatano. I have never had much resistance to sisters. Hehe.’ Hatano sisters are a pair of twin sisters given to me by Hidesaki Hatano. Afterwards, I was very generous and gave an island ten times larger than Japan (Australia) to the Hatano brothers as the territory of the Hatano family - feed kangaroos.

Ashi laughed and scolded, "My husband is really right. My sister Anu is in Yuanfu this year. Do you want me to say to me to come and be a concubine for you? Anu is also a great beauty from Wei Zhang. Then we sisters and two of us serve you together."

‘Okay.’ Oda family’s genes are good, and so many handsome men and beautiful women have been produced. A good gene is really good.

After hearing that his lord was going to Kinki this time, he felt like a few mice were constantly scratching. However, he heard that the candidates were Keer Caizang and Yanagi Soyan, so he couldn't help but feel anxious. Jetcho, where is that place, it is a place that is claimed to be a place that can't be bought as long as you have money and nothing. Maeda Caizang has a lot of money in recent years, but it is very difficult to spend it in Tanba Country. After thinking about it, Keer Caizang decided to take the initiative to buy two liang of Longjing tea from the Ming Kingdom and go to Keer Caizang.

‘Senior Keiji, I didn’t expect it was you. Oh, what other gifts are there? You’re so kind.’ Keer Chuan took the tea and welcomed Keiji Maeda from the entrance to the room. The two of them made the guest and host, and the servant brought tea and snacks. ‘Senior Keiji not only came to send tea.’

'This is a gift for Buddha. Last time, the Ma Kingdom caught two very good virgins. After the lord finished his fun, he was happy to give him 100 guan and some silk tea from the Ming Dynasty. I heard that the Minister of the Taizheng and our lord were going to Jetchi. You are from Kinki Yamato. Jetchi must be tired of playing Jetchi, but I am from Ohachi. People used to say that Jetchi is so good, but I didn't have the chance to go. It's a pity.'

Ke'er hid his head and nodded, "Oh, it turns out that senior wants to go to Jiecheng, but I can't make any decisions about this."

‘As long as you hide it, you are willing to nod, this will be half done.’

Ke'er looked at the ceiling, "This time I went on a mission. Although it was not a war, the merchants from Jie Town would give some gifts. If I nodded, I would lose money. Senior."

Maeda Keiji persuaded, "I will leave you the opportunity to go on the mission next time. You also know that the lord never stings with rewards, but Ma Guo is a little poor, and I can collect two top-notch girls. Can the merchants of Jetchi Town be more generous than our lord?"

'It's not a loss to calculate this way. I just heard that my lord gave you a very beautiful glass vase to you... I like it very much.'

Maeda Keiji pointed to the flower-arranged glass bottle on the desk of Ke'er, "Everyone has this one."

‘My inner son wants to make a pair. Senior, do you know, do you also know, women?’

After Maeda Kyoji calculated, he still got it. Isn’t it just a glass vase? The whale house is only sold for ten cents, and he has a 20% discount when he goes to buy it. ‘It’s a matter of a word, I’ll go back and have someone to deliver it to you.’

‘Then thank you Senior Qingci.’

Maeda Kyoji went home once and asked his servant to pack the glass vase and send it to Keercai collector. He took a piece of Ming Dynasty silk to the Yan family of Yasuo Shizhouzhai. "Is it Mrs. Chunmai. Is Senior Shizhouzhai at home?" Maeda Kyoji changed his shoes in the entrance hall and asked.

‘I’m practicing sword in the backyard, so I’ll call him now.’ replied Chuntao, the wife of Sonyan Yayoshi.

'It's okay, it's okay. I'll go by myself. This silk was rewarded by my lord. Madam, you know that I don't have a wife, and the whole family is not hungry after eating alone. It's useless to ask for it. I'd better give it a few pieces of clothes for my wife."

Mrs. Chuntao had sharp eyes. She could see the origin of silk when she touched it. ‘This is silk made in the Ming Dynasty, which is too expensive. We can’t collect it.’ But Chuntao held the silk tighter in her hand.

'We are a samurai in summer and a cotton in winter. Madam, tell me what is the use of this silk?'

Chuntao struggled in her heart, but even if she had money, she could not buy silk in Ming Dynasty. The woman's need for new clothes finally gained the upper hand. 'Okay, I'll accept it. I'll introduce you to a wife who is of a good match. Save you to spend money randomly. I'll make two sets of silk, and the rest will be the betrothal gift for you.'

Maeda Gyuji said in his heart, "Chicken, March 8, troublesome, Obasan." He replied, "That's thankful to Mrs. Chuntao. Remember to find me a good kung fu in the bed."

Chuntao, ‘…’

Maeda Keiji came to the backyard, and Yagyu Ishijusai was concentrating on practicing the "upper split" in the basic skills of Xinyinliu swordsmanship. "Hey.''Hey.'''Hey.''...

‘I’ve come to the wrong time, and now I’ve just split the upper part, sweep the middle part, and flirt the lower part, and when will it end?’ Maeda Keiji thought to himself.

After Yayoi Shizhouzhai practiced the first split, Mrs. Chuntao brought towels and tea, and said, "Mr. Keiji has something to do with her husband."

After wiping his sweat, Yasuo Shizhouzhai said, "I saw it a long time ago, so I deliberately let him go. He had already said business matters."

Chuntao gently poked Shi Zhouzhai on his waist, "I have received other people's gifts, don't hang them for too long. I won't spit out that Ming Dynasty silk anyway. I will also make two silk kimonos this New Year."

‘Will you just buy a new kimono by yourself? What are you going to receive gifts from others? Isn’t the money at home all your charge?’

'What do you know? Ming silk is not a cotton cloth from a grocery store, you can buy it if you want, and even Ming silk is divided into three or six grades. The one who gave Qingci the best Ming silk, which may not be able to buy even in Kyoto. This top silk is sold in Jie Town for twenty cents. Someone rushed to ask for it. Chuntao whispered to Shizhouzhai.
