Chapter 502
To be frank, the Ouchi clan under Mochiyoshi had been under considerable financial strain from purchasing all sorts of war materials from Joseon.
In such circumstances, when Joseon expressed their desire to purchase goods with cash, Mochiyoshi couldn’t help but brighten up.
“Lord Han, what items does Joseon wish to purchase?”
“Cotton is our highest priority, followed by sulfur and copper. We also need some grain, but seeing Japan’s difficult situation, we’ve excluded that.”
“Hmm…”
At Han Myeong-hoe’s words, Mochiyoshi’s expression turned slightly serious.
Shibukawa produces more cotton than us, and we’re buying sulfur and copper ourselves…
Noticing Mochiyoshi’s troubled expression, Han Myeong-hoe quickly continued.
“However, given the current situation in Japan, Joseon cannot freely trade as we wish, can we? We hope you might introduce us to trustworthy domains or facilitate meetings. Our only concern is burdening you when you’re busy with great affairs.”
