Actually, the half-guard didn't think about what to say - he prepared and laid it out before coming to the white master, but the more he thought about it on the road, the more unreliable it became, but he came here, and there was no better choice, so let's take it one step at a time.

"Please be gracious to the emperor, and help the money house for the sake of being obedient, and the great kindness will never be forgotten." After meeting, Qian Yahanbei still had a hint of luck, and first tested Naoxiu's attitude.

"Oops, oops, that's so polite, the money house is a giant merchant in the Northland, it doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this." Naohide hurriedly made a gesture to get the half-guards who were lying on their stomachs.

The half-guard was lying on his stomach like that, and he gave Naohide a set of nonsense, which was nothing more than that the money house was framed by the villain, which led to the current difficulties in Maeda's house, and asked Naohide to help intercede.

"I don't have the opportunity to meet this lord, this is really embarrassing." The Quan Na Yan in Naoxiu's words refers to Qi Tai, the current head of the Kaga Maeda family.

If you usually encounter this kind of scene, the half-soldier guard should show his mind, of course, he will not vulgarly take out the gift list and say what I want to offer, or something, generally continue to compliment the samurai lord on the opposite side for a few words, and then say goodbye and leave, leaving a gift list for the small surname and other side employees, if Naohide really intends to help, naturally someone will come to the door to find the half-soldier to receive the gift; If there is no follow-up, it is a polite refusal, and everyone retains some decency.

But now it's not normal, let Naoxiu a 200-stone acting official write a letter to the million-stone daimyo from the two, for no reason, the businessman doesn't dare to think so.

The half-guard gritted his teeth and began to introduce the detailed strength of the money house in the Northland:

The Toshima Peninsula in the south of Ezo and the Ishikari Plain in the west were areas under the tight control of the Matsumae family, and the money house only set up a shop in Matsumae Town and did honest business;

The Higashi-Ezo land was divided into seventy-eight parts by the Matsumae family, and was contracted to merchants according to the place request system, but in these places the Omi merchants' two hama-gumi had the upper hand, and there were only three houses on the seashore.

Between the Shiretoko Peninsula and the four islands of Yunwu is a famous fishing area, with a total of 17 fishing grounds of all sizes, and Qianya accounts for 7 in the north;

In the northern Ezo land, including the white lord, there are nine houses of money, but they are all distributed in the south and west;

The total number of money houses in the north is about 700, and there are three debate boats, nearly 60 small fishing boats, and a number of money and goods.

Naohide and Okubo listened to it with relish, anyway, neither of them was ready to mix with the of the money house in Kaga, and they couldn't get pregnant after listening to it, so what were they afraid of.

"The money house is ready to leave the northern land, and all the rest are willing to be dedicated to the temple except for the ships and people."

Naoxiu stood up as soon as he heard it, what did you say? When I'm stupid, these things are transported to the house or something, it's all a collusion between your money house and the Matsumae family, and I can't take it away if I give it to me, it's too insincere.

And Hanbei also regretted it a little, he didn't know why he said that, maybe it was to bluff, maybe, maybe he still hoped that Naohide would be greedy, in case there was a conflict between the White Lord Office and the Matsumae family, then the ronin guard of the money house would be the force that Naohide had to rely on.

"God will also forgive the merchant for his exaggeration", Hanbei saw that Naohide was leaving, and he quickly turned the words back.

"Rude! I've long heard that Qian Wu has something bad in the Northland, but now it may not be groundless! "Okubo is helping on the side - he is a core personnel, Naohide is afraid that his own people will be cheated by the money house, and he has been blowing the wind with a few group leaders early, the money house may have colluded with the Lucia people, everyone should be careful.

The half-soldier guard is now a bit of a bow and snake shadow, and the grass and trees are all soldiers, and he heard Okubo say this, thinking that the white lord was a pawn of the shogunate to deal with the money house, and subconsciously reached out and touched the knife, but it was empty - the knife was taken away by the people of the fan group before entering the door.

Naohide looked at the look and movements of the half-guard, and had a spectrum in his heart, could it be that the Qian Wu incident happened? The calculation time should be about the same. Naoxiu has long coveted the power of Qianwu in the Northland, no matter what you say, people have been working here for more than 20 years, and there are still 3,000 nails in the broken ship, and it is not without a small supplement to eat the essence of Qianwu in the Northland.

"Slowly, the sky can't fall, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and the money house has always been submissive, and it will naturally turn evil into good fortune."

The half-soldier was half suspicious, he really felt that Naoxiu didn't feel like he had come to the North to deal with Qian Wu, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the white lord to kill himself

, but he is ashamed to say that his reason is very weird, but he subconsciously feels that nothing will happen - the half-guard has been born and died many times, and several times he escaped by feeling, besides, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, even if it is a straw, he has to catch it.

After some temptation and tossing, Hanbei was not willing to go around in circles anymore, he said to Naohide that most of the people in the money house would go back to Kaga Kanazawa, leaving a group of people to be taken in, these people are mainly shopkeepers, boatwrights, and ronins, if Naohide can take it in, he can leave one more debate boat, fishing boats, goods or something, Naohide can also give it.

Surrender and lose half, but there is a lot of risk in this, one is that the shogunate will be investigated later, and the stake is not small, and the second is that the Matsumae family is not a mud tire wooden statue, and the money house suddenly ran away, who is looking for gold to transport it?

But people have no windfall, no wealth, no horses, no night grass and no fat, Naohide and Okubo have mentioned to Qianya before, asking half-soldiers to help recruit young immigrants, and said that as long as it is not a heinous person, the white lord is welcome, for today, naturally he will not let go of this great opportunity.

Naohide personally vouched for it, and the people who stayed in the white master in the money house were all his own people - Naohide was going to make these people all the servants of the Hori family, and they all became servants who signed a long contract, could they not be his own people.

Hanbei felt that the group of people left behind were all participants in the secret trade, and there would be no good end when they returned to Kanazawa, and they would not be honest when they were in the Quartet, and it was difficult to say for a while, but after a long time, these unruly people would definitely make trouble, and they would definitely drag down the money house at that time, so they pinched their noses and confessed, saying that this matter would be left to me, and let these people sign the slave contract when they turned around.

He specially reminded Naoxiu that the elders with a skill should not be slaves for a long time, and Naoxiu was full of promises, saying that you see that the homeless people here can be samurai, don't be afraid, as long as you work hard, you can get ahead soon.

Now the half-guards are also a little conscious.,As soon as Naohide opened his mouth, it was a servant contract.,It's not like a normal recruitment of people at all.,Either someone lost the wind.,Or Naohide got the news from the shogunate.,This is taking advantage of the danger of people to prepare a bite to eat.。

But the situation is stronger than people, he has seen a lot of the world, and feels that Naohide is very selfish, even if the shogunate investigates it in the future, Naohide will not easily hand people over - these people are not only fierce guards are shipwrights and sailors, but the shopkeepers are also shrewd and capable, and these people are useful to the white master.

Hanbei didn't dare to believe in any loyalty now, he only believed in interests, and in order to raise the value of these people, he added another piece of interest - Qian Wu set up a private boat yard in the Northland, so he simply handed it over this time. He told Naohide that in Maoka, on the west coast of North Ezo, Qianya built a shipyard for the convenience of repairing ships, and the facilities were quite complete, and it was possible to build a thousand-stone debate ship.

Of course Naoxiu was interested, he felt that the heat was almost over, although everyone didn't have any secret trade, but they were aware of each other, since this was the case, many things were easy to talk about.

"Qian Wu respectfully, you can keep this personal belongings, but the knives, bows, and firearms must be handed over. Moreover, the Yoshito people have their own natural appearance, and the money house can also leave some people in Moka, on the one hand, to help take care of the shipyard, and on the other hand, to wait for the news of Kanazawa to be confirmed before making the next step. ”

Hanbei was overjoyed, he didn't think about waiting for a while to see the news, but his parents and children are in Kanazawa, he will definitely go back to Kanazawa, and after the retreat of Qianya, everyone without a leader will definitely be in turmoil - if it is not chaotic, it will be more terrible, either he wants to pull the flag and rebel or lose his sincerity to the Matsumae family, so he vetoed the plan to stay behind some people before.

This time Naoxiu took the initiative to propose, the people who stayed behind should be able to hold out until next year because of the retreat of the White Lord, and if it is a false alarm, then everything will be fine, although a lot of privacy is revealed to Naoxiu, but there is no way to save it - either pay money or pay iron, the money house has been crisscrossing the Whale Sea for many years and does not rely only on Xinyi, and it is not impossible for Naoxiu to contact the Lucian people to the White Lord if he has too much appetite.

Hanbei's eyes flickered, his face was cloudy, Naohide and Okubo looked at each other and smiled, he was unwilling to leave hidden dangers, and the two paths were naturally for differentiation and distinction, most of the people who were willing to come to the white lord were saved the idea of settling down, so that they could absorb and transform, and those who stayed in Maoka, whether they were loyal to the money house or unwilling to be lonely, and when the news of the money house in Kanazawa was confirmed, those who did not take refuge in the white lord would die.

After repeated pleas from Hanbei in order to secure the way back, Okubo issued a document in the name of the town commissioner, which read, "Asking the people to spend the winter in Moka, and they will naturally go to the Hakujo office next spring."

Take control. ”

Qian Wu invested a lot of money this time, leaving behind the maps and charts drawn by Qian Wu himself, in addition, he also promised to leave a part of the goods, a debate boat and all the fishing boats, which will be with the people who are willing to come to the white master, as for the money, Naoxiu didn't ask for it, saying that Qian Wu was in a difficult situation, and it was good to stay and defend himself.

Hanbei left with a thousand thanks, and when he left, Okubo shook his head, and Naohide smiled at him, both of them felt that the pattern of the northern ruler of the money house was too small, and the two ends of the first rat were not material for big things.

This time, I fished a lot of things, absorbed a lot of useful talents, and opened a branch of Rioka, which is a windfall from heaven, which is gratifying.

At the end of the eleventh month of the Western calendar, the port of the white lord was frozen, and before that, several groups of people finally returned on time, so that the people who stayed behind often breathed a sigh of relief.

The first to come was the person who came to the money house, although there were more than 700 people in the north, but in fact there were only thirty-six people who went to the white master, and there were no half-soldiers but there were many small means, Naohide could only ask a rough idea from these people's mouths, it seems that most of the people directly under the money house have returned to Kaga Kanazawa, and there are three or four hundred ronins who are guards, all of whom are the same as in previous years, either by boat back to their hometown for the New Year, or they can be withdrawn to Matsuzen for the winter if they get a permit, as for the whereabouts of the rest of the people, these people can't say clearly, Anyway, if the half-guard gave it to Naohide, there were still about 100 people in Mooka to take care of the commissioner.

As for the promised fishing boat, it has also become a joke, none of them have reached the white master, and these people don't know where they went, but fortunately, these thirty-six people came on a debate boat, and there were some miscellaneous goods on board, and some people secretly told Naohide that the half-guards hid a small judgment of 300 coins on the boat, which was specially dedicated to Naoxiu.

Zhixiu couldn't cry or laugh, something is better than nothing, not to mention that these thirty-six people are not bad, in addition to a dozen elite ronins, there are more than 20 people who have a skill, including two shipbuilders, seven or eight sailors and helmsmen, and more than a dozen shopkeepers who are proficient in arithmetic, all of whom are urgently needed for the practice.

After that, the ships going south and north also returned:

Manjiro Nakahama and Nagajiro Kondo traveled south to Tosa on the Atractylodes Pill, and under the care of the Yoshida Kanbei of Kochi Town, both of them had their wishes granted:

Zhongbin is returning to his hometown, seeing his mother and brother is naturally a scene of hugging and crying, and when he left, he also donated a villager to his brother.

And Kondo Chojiro also successfully got back the identity of a merchant from Yoshida, that is, Yoshida asked Tosa to send a royal businessman to the north to develop next year, and asked Naohide to take care of it, and I don't know if it was the instruction of Toyonobu, the head of the Yamauchi family, or Yoshida's own idea - anyway, Naohide doesn't matter, the more businessmen who come to the north, the better.

Naoyoshi Hori and Suketaro Otou are also full of harvest, and the two boats on the north to Miaotun are loaded with a lot of girls - yes, Naohide knows that the local tribe is very poor, and there is nothing to exchange for a little fur or something, so he simply exchanged them with a smoothbore gun, food, and shochu.

Originally, Naohide didn't have any hopes, but this time, in order to be able to play as a samurai, Suketaro prepared a set of fallacies, and when he found the tribal leader, he asked if our goods were good?

"Good!" Can it be good, Naoxiu is doing business with the idea of losing money and selling in order to block the Lucia people.

"Can you treat them badly by exchanging such a good thing for a woman?"

I don't know what the tribal leaders along the coast think, anyway, they believe in the evil of the big head Suketaro, and under the witness of the two teams of the water army and the two teams of the road group, both sides are very satisfied - the tribe has more women and fewer men, and the smoothbore gun was eliminated after the Mimo War, and the price is extremely low, and everyone feels that they have taken advantage of each other.

The girls who came were Ainu, and more were Feiyaka, and Naoxiu was all handed over to his wife Yingzi to manage, which avoided a large-scale bloody brawl.

And the ship that surveyed the East Ezo land also came back, although there were no outstanding results, but it was also recognized and familiar with the route.

The third group of immigrants in mid-October, numbering more than 100 people, was not officially assigned to Naohide's orders, but only to do odd jobs and go to the village school to improve illiteracy. It was only then that Naohide began to arrange the official belonging of these people.

Through a series of adjustments, the government office began to formally establish a civil administration, turning the white lord from the army station to a normal territory, and the impact of some of these measures was very far-reaching, even beyond the planner Naohide's expectations.
