Maeda Kyoji returned from his uncle Maeda's house, but his face was frowning. "I asked, the lord's task is to sell rice recently. This year, the lord has a good harvest and saved a lot of rice. The lord is preparing to sell part of the military capital."

Yasui Dodon was also a little disappointed, "Selling rice seems too ordinary." This guy was probably thinking about Jiancheng or something, and showing off his skills. However, even Jiancheng was a task for Nishiba Nagahik, and my current identity was probably only a small piece of it.

Nobusuka Uchizumi suddenly said 'Okay'.

Sadao Murai nodded in agreement, "Yes, the lord is still a small foot head now. We just want to see extraordinary things in the ordinary, so selling rice may not be a bad thing."

Takenaka Banbui asked, "Keiji, have you asked, what are you going to do if you need money to sell rice?"

Qingci nodded, "I asked, saying that I was going to buy a batch of weapons and equipment. I replaced old goods that were unbearable. However, there was also news that the lord was going to ask Fanxiu to form an iron cannon team. The rice I was going to sell this time was 10,000 stones. I think it would not be enough to replace the weapon and armor. Some of them should be used to buy iron cannons."

Takenaka Half-Baiwei said 'Oh' and said to me: "Lord, I think we should prepare first."

"Well, do you mean to buy iron cannons in advance?" I asked Takenaka Banbingwei in confusion, "If the lord doesn't buy iron cannons for us, wouldn't it be smashed? A foot-light head with more than 70 retainers is enough to attract attention, and so many lords of the iron cannons have to make me become a monk or septile."

Maeda Keiji said: "Lord, don't worry. Your Highness Nobunaga is not a petty person. I exiled my father to the point of being neutral in the struggle between several brothers of the Oda family. He was disliked by His Highness Nobunaga, and he just asked my uncle to inherit the family governor. Your Highness Nobunaga still likes capable subordinates and does not reject novel things. Besides, we can't buy iron cannons, but change the method."

"Yes, just change the way." Takenaka Banhuie explained, "I heard that the blacksmith in Kinki can already build the iron cannon by himself. Doesn't the lord have a whale house in Kiyosu Town? We can invite a few blacksmiths and carpenters back in the name of the whale house."

After I figured it out, I said to everyone, "Then please invite Master Nobukazumi and Fumigoro Kamada to train the master at home. Nearly three adults, Yasuto, Yuki Soyoshi, and Kinson, went to Kinki to recruit blacksmiths and carpenters. The more blacksmiths, the better. Don't care if you can build iron cannons. It's better that your whole family cannons cannons cannons. It doesn't matter if you give your salary higher. I'll go to get the rice selling task, and the rest will go to sell rice with me." After that, he glanced at Takenaka Banhui and asked him, "What do you think?"

"There is no problem with the distribution. Is the lord planning?" asked Takenaka Bangui.

I approached Takenaka Bangui's ear: "It's enough for us to do this at that time..."

After everything was ready, I first found my immediate boss, Ninoha Nagahide, and received the task of selling rice. Ninoha Nagahide asked Nobunaga to approve the note and took me to Mikura to get rice. One thousand stones of rice was filled with ten trucks, and there were thirty feet of foot, which was the largest number that a foot was capable of commanding. Finally, Ninoha Nagahide repeated His Highness Nobunaga's words, "One thousand stones of rice will be sold at least 4,000 guan."

Four thousand guan seems to be not much. Usually, one stone of rice can be sold for one tael of gold, which is four guan, and one thousand guan is exactly four thousand guan. But this is the year of a bumper harvest, and the rice merchant at the end of the day has lowered the purchase price by half. It would be strange if he was sold at this price and His Highness Nobunaga was scolded to death.

Although most places have good weather this year, there are also places where grain production is reduced and disasters are affected. For example, Katsushima and Ishikawa Goemon's ninjas are all dressed up as craftsmen or small vendors. They went to important grain production areas near Lake Biwa such as Imahamachi, Inoguchi and Mekata in advance. To spread the real news, Katsushimachi suffered a drought this year, and the grain was 50% more expensive than last year.

We stopped after we arrived at Inoguchicho in Mino. Then we divided the troops into three groups, and Maeda Keiji and Keer hid to the east to sell rice. Although the 1,000-stone rice could be sold as 6,000 knots as the rumors we spread, according to the information of Goemon Ishikawa, it was still no problem to sell 5,500 knots.

But Takenaka Banbuye thought that 5,500 knots were not enough, and he wanted to complete the task perfectly, so he would sell at least 10,000 knots of rice. So this time I came out and brought another 60,000 knots of cash, and 30,000 knots were handed over to Takenaka Banbuye, Murai Sasaki, Shimatsumoto, Matsuda Nagamori went to Imahamacho and Mekata to buy rice, and I led the rest to buy rice in Inoguchicho.

Minon Agriculture is also one of the extremely developed regions, and it is only half a step away from the Biwa Lake area where grain is produced. Soon we bought 7,500 shi of rice for 30,000 guan. The rice here is a bit lower than that of the seller of the Taibao. Of course, we did not bring it to the Taibao to sell, nor did we bring it to the Axin as the rumors.

Funds are profit-seeking. Generally speaking, in the era of underdeveloped communication, some superficial facts and rumors can control everything. When people find that selling rice to Jiaxin can make a fortune, more speculative merchants join this vibrant industry. (This reminds me of the professional chicken raising chickens who raised eggs when they were expensive and killed chickens when they were cheap.)

We stayed in the lodge for 25 days, and shocking news came from the market. There was a shortage of rice in the Biwa Lake area, known as the granary. In other words, if there was no external rice input, the Biwa Lake area would starve to death next year. Overnight, many rice shops hung up the sign of "No rice today", and even if they were still opening stores and selling rice, the price of rice was more than doubled. The next morning, the format became even more severe, and long queues were lined up for buying rice, and more and more rice shops were sold out.

The next afternoon, the rice price had reached the highest level in Inoguchicho's history in 20 years, with a stone of rice of nine guan.

On the third day, the grain truck of the "foreign rice merchant" arrived at Inokou. It sold a total of 7,000 stones of rice to each rice shop at one time, basically stabilizing the rice price of Inokou.

One month after receiving the task of selling grain, three teams gathered at the mouth of Inoue. Statistics: Maeda Keiji sold 1,000 stones of rice and received 5,600 stagnant of silver. Half of the soldiers of the Takenaka bought 8,500 stones of rice and 8,000 stones of rice and 65,000 stones of silver and 500 stones of rice. I bought 7,500 stones of rice and 7,000 stones of rice and 60,000 stones of rice and 500 stones of rice.

After deducting the cost of 60,000 guan, the net profit of 65,000 guan was 1,000 guan, and the best japonica rice was 1,000 guan. Among them, 5,000 guan and 5,600 guan of Maeda Kyoji were handed over to the Oda family. I generously distributed the 500 guan and 5,000 guan of japonica rice and 5,000 guan to the thirteen retainers and the generals of the family in Ohashi.

"This is everyone's credit." Back at the celebration banquet at the end of the night, everyone gave me a cup of tea and I politely refused.

After returning to Ohara, I paid more than 10,000 guan, Lin Shengtong, Shibata Katsuya, Sakuma Nobuka and others were shocked. Even Niba Nagahide, who is known as an expert in the internal affairs, took the account book and looked at it again and again. However, except for the first time, the other things on it were made up. Of course, I couldn't write about how I went to fry rice, but I went to Ohara to sell rice very seriously, and then went back to Inouekou to buy rice and then sold it. After buying the rice for the second time, there was news that the Biwa Lake was out of food, so I sold the rice twice as much as the price, totaling 10,700 guan. The whole report was perfect, from Maeda Genyi. This time, the sale of rice alarmed Ohara Oda Nobunaga, and saw me personally, encouraged me a few words, and gave me a 10,000 guan golden cake.

Maeda Kyoji was obviously a little drunk, "Your Highness Oda is too stingy, so he gave ten taels of gold. It's not as much as the lord rewarded us. I was replaced by Oda Temple and promoted to the general of the Football Light, and I was promoted to the Warehouse Town. I was rewarded with 700 taels of silver."

"Forget it, forget it. After all, Your Highness Oda has only seen me twice, and he left a good impression on both times. This is enough, and it is more at ease to make it step by step." I comforted Maeda Keiji and said.

Murai Satoshi said: "The lord is right. When Ganluo was twelve years old, he was considered a one-step success. However, because of his arrogant talent, he was killed at the age of twelve. It can be seen that one-step success success is not a good thing."
