Probably! Ryoma was not only good with a sword but an excellent negotiator (see: uniting Choshu and Satsuma, who were enemy provinces). It also probably has to do with Ryoma's family background too. His family line became known as merchants after a long history of brewing sake, so Mutsunokami probably picked up a lot of experience with business talk.
