Konoe set the tone a long time ago and continued, "There are not many people who still remember the imperial court now. It is inevitable that you still remember to come to the court to give gifts, I don't know how much you plan to give? ”

Uesugi Masatoshi prepared a lot of gift money for this Shangluo, 10,000 gold. Much more lucrative than the uprising.

Of course, Uesugi Masahu is not a master who is short of money, after all, this gift money is a showdown for the retainers, but for this reason, many retainers are very dissatisfied because of the apportionment of this gift money.

After all, the prestige of the imperial court and the shogunate had plummeted after the Onin Rebellion, and few people listened to it, so many retainers felt that Uesugi Masato was a waste of money by doing this.

However, at this time, Sado Gold Mountain was already being developed, which means that Uesugi Masatora still had to offer a large amount of gift money despite the complaints of his retainers, just because of the Sado Gold Mountain.

For a long time, it was speculated that there might be a gold mountain in Sado. "The Tale of the Past and the Present" and "The Tale of the Uji Relics" both clearly state that Sado does have a gold mountain.

In the Ashikaga Yoshikyo era, the Amikan Genkiyo, who was exiled to Sado, also recorded the gold in his book "Kanejima Collection" written in the sixth year of Eiko (1434).

The last thing that confirmed the existence of these legendary gold mountains was the Echigo merchant Shigeemon Waiyama.

One evening in the summer of the 11th year of Astronomical, Shigeemon Wayama was sailing off the coast of Sawazaki when he suddenly saw several strange lights on Mt. Ssawane, facing Mano Bay. It was the reflection of the sun shining on the mountain peaks as it was about to sink below the horizon.

At sunset, it's not unusual for the fiery red sun to dye the mountainsides rosy; But the light that Shigeemon Kueyama saw was not of this kind. The light was not a reflection of the afterglow of the setting sun, but a kind of light that existed there, a golden light that naturally emanated.

According to Shigeemon, this strange light resembles "the flame of steelmaking." He parked the ship at Zegen and probed into the Zegen Mountains. Seven days later, the exposed gold and silver mine was finally discovered.

He asked the landlord Honma Settsumori for permission to mine and obtained a considerable amount of gold and silver; However, due to the excessive amount of taxes demanded by Honma Settsumori, he was unable to cope with it.

Later, Shigeemon Wayama gave up his cooperation with Honma Settsumori and complained directly to the lord of Echigo, Nagao Keitora, that is, Uesugi Masatora.

So, Uesugi Masatora is actually very rich.

Although Uesugi Masatoshi owns Sado Gold Mountain, Uesugi Masatoshi does not have a clear understanding of the reserves of Sado Gold Mountain, and even less knows about the associated silver mines.

Uesugi Masahu said directly: "I am willing to give a gift of 10,000 gold to the imperial court!" ”

10,000 gold!

These three words smashed hard in the heart of Konoe Qianjiu, making him slow down for a long time, this money is too much, much more than the gift money he got in the past.

This 10,000 gold is 40,000 yuan, which is converted into Yongle money, and if it is a local copper coin, it will be more.

Of course, in the local area, copper is expensive, gold and silver are cheap, that is, it is handed over to the merchants of the Southern Barbarians or the merchants of the Ming Kingdom, and the gold and silver are a little more expensive.

10,000 gold is enough for the imperial court to live a good life for several years or even more than ten years, and he even thought that if Uesugi Masahu came a few more times, the imperial court could restore its former glory.

In the past, when the imperial court was in a state of decline, the emperor died and had no money to bury him, and the new emperor did not have the money to carry out the enthronement ceremony, which was a miserable sight.

Now with this 10,000 gold, the palace can be repaired.

Konoe was shocked for a while, and then regained his expression, but fortunately, because of the courtesy of the minister for many years, there were not too many gaffes.

He said very enthusiastically: "Danzheng Shaobi is really a loyal minister of the imperial court, your 10,000 gold has alleviated a lot of difficulties in the imperial court, it is not easy to live in Beijing, and there are many houses in the palace to be repaired."

But the Miyoshi family ignored this, and the shogunate was powerless, and His Majesty's life was very hard. ”

After listening to Konoe's story for a long time, he was a little uncomfortable about what happened to the emperor, and said with tears in his eyes: "It turns out that Your Majesty is struggling, and Your Majesty is really late." ”

Konoe Qianjiu comforted: "It's not too late, it's not too late, Your Majesty will be very pleased to know the loyalty of Danzheng Shaobi." ”

Zhenghu hurriedly paused and said: "It is an honor to share the worries of the court and Your Majesty!" ”

Konoe Maehisa nodded and looked at Yoshinaga.

Yoshicho paused and said: "Shinano, where I am down, is now being invaded by Kai's Takeda Kai, and there are many places that need to spend money, so I can only offer 10,000 kan in Xia, and I hope that the Imperial Palace of the Interior will not be surprised." ”

Konoe raised his eyebrows for a long time, this 10,000 guan is not a small deal, if there is no donation from Uesugi Masato, this 10,000 guan is also a lot of money.

He said with a smile: "Doctor Dashan can take into account the difficulties of the imperial court when his own family is in a difficult situation, he is really loyal to the country, His Majesty will know about it, and he will understand." ”

Yoshicho knew that Zhenghu would send a large sum of money, but he didn't expect it to be 10,000 gold, and when he just said 10,000 yuan, he felt that it was less, but that was all he planned.

But for the sake of the righteousness of the Quartet, he hurriedly raised the price and said: "I am willing to restore Shinano's imperial material land for the imperial court." ”

When Konoe heard the news a long time ago, he was so surprised that he almost didn't hold the fan in his hand, and since the Onin Rebellion, the daimyo and local servants in various places have embezzled the imperial court and the shogunate's imperial materials, which has made the imperial court difficult.

Although some daimyo still have the imperial court in their hearts and will send people to Kyoto to send money to buy officials, most of the daimyo can only take care of themselves first.

With the imperial land, the imperial court has a stable income, of course, this has to be the chief of justice has not turned his face.

But for the imperial court, it is beneficial to him, it doesn't matter what you do, as long as you remember to give money.

Zhenghu on the side was very surprised, he didn't expect Yichang to bring up such a thing, and Zhenghu didn't think about it.

In his heart, he had a much higher evaluation of Yoshicho, and at the same time he was blaming himself, how did he forget about the Imperial Material.

Zhenghu hurriedly said: "Yi Changyu's loyalty to the imperial court is much more than that of Xia, and he is very ashamed of him, and he is willing to follow Yi Changchu and restore the imperial court in Echigo." ”

Konoe couldn't calm down for a long time, and both countries were willing to restore the Imperial Material, even if it was less than 30,000 stones, but compared to before, it was really a world of difference.

Konoe Qianjiu hurriedly got up and said, "This is really a great joy, go, I'll take you to see Neizang head now." ”

As he spoke, he took Yichang and Zhenghu to Yamashina Yanji's house.

Yamashina Yanji is counting the accounts of the imperial court at home, although there is the financial support of the Miyoshi family, but the imperial court still has to live a careful life.

While he was busy, the servant of the house came running to say that the guard had come a long time ago.

Although I don't know what Konoe wanted to do when he came to the house, but the guard was a Shangguan for a long time, and when he came, Yamashina Yan had to go out to greet him.

Yamashina Yanji took Konoe Qianjiu, he saw the two people behind Qianjiu, and he didn't ask Qianjiu until he reached the courtyard.

Konoe Qianjiu hurriedly said: "Doctor Dashan and Danzheng Shaobi came to the capital to present a gift for official affairs, Danzheng Shaobi is willing to give a gift of 10,000 gold, and Doctor Dashan is 10,000."

And the two guards are willing to restore the imperial court's imperial material in their local area, hiding their heads, this is a great loyal minister! ”

Yamashina Yanji was already stunned, this was the first time he had seen a daimyo in the trench in these years, and the other daimyo were either a few hundred, or one or two thousand, which was simply unsightly compared to the two in front of him.

Yamako Yanji laughed and said: "Okay, the two of you are certainly loyal ministers of the imperial court, so I will tell Your Majesty in the future." ”

Konoe Maejiu grabbed Yamashina Yanji and said with a smile: "It's okay to talk about it, Doctor Dashan and Danzheng Shaobi are both coming to the capital for the first time, so you can teach and teach." ”

Yamashina Yanji nodded hurriedly and said, "Minister of the Interior, rest assured, I will definitely take care of Dr. Dashan and Danzheng Shaobi." ”

Konoe handed over Yoshicho Masatsugu to Yamashina Yanji for a long time, and he planned to leave.

Yoshicho asked, "The Minister's Palace, what about the house?" ”

Konoe smiled and said, "Even if you stay, you can stay as long as you want, can I still collect money from loyal ministers like you?" You're welcome. ”

Unable to tolerate Yoshicho and Masatoka's refusal, Konoe left with a happy mood for a long time.

As for Yamashina Yanji, he took out a notebook and wrote down the gift money they were going to offer, that is, 10,000 gold and 10,000 guan, as well as Yuexin's royal material land of nearly 30,000 stones.

Yamako Yanji smiled and said: "The two of you are waiting here, I will be afraid that someone will teach you to learn some court etiquette." Let me now spread the word that you are going to see Your Majesty. ”

In this way, Yamashina Yanji hurriedly ran to meet the emperor.

At this time, the emperor was Emperor Go-Nara, who was the second prince of Emperor Go-Kashiwawara, and ascended the throne in 1526 after the collapse of Emperor Go-Kashiwawara.

However, because the imperial family's finances were extremely difficult and could not hold the enthronement ceremony, in 1553, the imperial court sent envoys to find the Go-Hojo clan, the Ouchi clan, the Imagawa clan and other Warring States daimyo to collect funds, but only the Ouchi clan offered a huge amount of money of 2,200 kan, yes, 2,200 is a huge amount of money, and the imperial court's finances are so embarrassed.

With the funds provided by the Ouchi clan, Emperor Go-Nara held a modest enthronement ceremony in a humble palace in 1556. The so-called palace is not as good as the house of the rich man.

Later, the Imperial Family was in financial difficulties and sold the Emperor's handwriting to increase its income, so it was very easy to obtain the Emperor's handwriting at that time.

It is said that Emperor Nara was very compassionate and would pray for the safety of his people in times of plague, floods, and famines.

But this Emperor Go-Nara is really troubled, he is the one who has no money to ascend the throne, and he is the one who has no money to be buried after death.

After the collapse of Emperor Nara in September of the third year of Koji (1557), the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru lived in seclusion in Omi Kuchigi Valley, and the governor of Hosokawa Harumoto fled to Wakasa, and the lord of Akutagawa Castle in Kyoto, Miyoshi Chokei.

Chokei collected 600 kan don money (property tax) for funeral expenses in Rakuchu, and the emperor's body was kept at the Kuroto Imperial Palace for two and a half months.

After that, Emperor Nara's life had a beginning and an end, accompanied by disasters.

Of course, now that his life is a little better, with the donations of Masahu and Yoshinaga, Emperor Nara will be able to change into a few new clothes.

When Yamashina Kenji told Emperor Gonara with this good news, the emperor cried quietly behind the mat, which was the time when he had the most money in his life.

Emperor Nara cried enough before he said, "Hide your head, how can I summon two loyal ministers so hastily?" Ask them to stay a few days and put me in a new garment, and then see them. ”

Shan Keyan paused: "Your Majesty is reasonable, and the minister will arrange it." ”

The Emperor hurriedly said: "Don't discourage the loyalty of the two loyal ministers, look at what should be given in return, such loyal ministers must be greatly rewarded."

I think that at the beginning, after Ouchi Dazai Datsu (er) offered a gift money, the imperial court promoted him to Dazai Daibi, and then the daimyo from all over the country went to the imperial court to offer money, and the imperial court used this to grant official positions, so that he could survive..."Speaking of this, Emperor Gonara wanted to cry again.

Yamashina Yanji saw that the emperor's mood fluctuated greatly, and hurriedly said: "Please take care of your health, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely arrange it properly." ”

Emperor Hou Nara nodded and said, "Okay, then you can go down and make arrangements." ”

After Yamashina Yan retired, Emperor Hou Nara cried and laughed, even the attendants next to him followed, and he really thought of the bitter days coming together, and he couldn't help it for a while.

As for Yamashina Yanji, he first accompanied Yoshicho and Masahu back to the courtyard they rented, and now it was Konoe who temporarily sent them to settle down.

Yamashina called officials from the imperial court to teach Yoshicho and Masatora the etiquette process for meeting the emperor.

He greeted the official, delayed as much as he could, and then hurried to the castle town in Kyoto to buy luxurious Ming silk, and then found the tailor in the palace to make new clothes for the emperor.

At the same time, he had to find someone to clean the palace and repair some of the exteriors, at least to make them look shiny.

This matter let all the ministers in Kyoto know, and they came to help, after all, they have been lonely for a long time, and suddenly there is one thing to show their family learning, who wants to lag behind?

This matter made a big fuss, not only the general's side knew about it, but even Matsunaga Shu also knew about it.

When he learned the news, he couldn't help but say bluntly: "Are these two so rich? It's no wonder that Matsunaga Xiu was so surprised, 50,000 yuan is enough to support a huge army for a long time.

Fortunately, this money is for the imperial court, not for the shogunate, otherwise, Matsunaga Hideko will be evil to the guts.

Matsunaga Xiu felt that he should go to meet these two people, and it was definitely not a simple person to be able to come up with such a large sum of money at once.

At this moment, the shogunate was also shocked.

Many courtiers said that if there were these 50,000 yuan, the victory would definitely be in hand to defeat the three good families.

Even the general Ashikaga Yoshito was very moved, and he couldn't help but say to Mibuchi Fujiying: "How can I win them over?" ”

Mibuchi Fujiying shook his head and said, "I don't know, I still have to wait for them to come to see His Highness to be sure." ”
