With the help of this person, the already complex problem immediately becomes clear. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Matsui Yuxian heard what Hoshu said, and in just a few days, he drew up a specific charter.

First, salt, iron, armaments, and horses were to be handled by the royal merchants designated by the daimyo and were not to be traded privately. The management rights of rice, grain, tea, and liquor will be withdrawn in the future.

Second, the establishment of Rakushi under the castles of Cheongju and Nakono was under the direct jurisdiction of the government, and the seat money and seat service were exempted, and taxes were collected only according to the amount of the transaction.

Third, it thoroughly inspected the earthen warehouses and sake breweries in the territory, limited the number of earthen warehouses and the upper limit of interest, and promised not to issue a "Tokusho" (i.e., a decree exempting the people from loans).

…………

"In this way, the purpose of the adults can be achieved, and the zawtos of Tsushima and Atsuta may not make any out-of-the-ordinary moves."

Matsui tomo dusted off his sleeves, folded his hands, and presented the finished paper to Tsunohide. Although he promised to go out of the mountain to help, he refused to accept Yulu on the grounds of "no merit and no luck", and naturally he was not a retainer of Fan Xiu, so he only called Fan Xiu an "adult" rather than "His Royal Highness".

"Since it's the handiwork of Youxian, it's naturally not a problem." Fan Xiu stretched out his hand and took it, not looking closely, only glanced at it a few times, but remembered something else.

After a few days of conversation, the two have become quite acquainted, even if they inquire about private matters, it is not abrupt.

"It is reported...... Is it because of compassion? ”

Fan Xiu asked casually.

Matsui was silent for a moment, folded his hands, and replied, "Those who believe in it are those who are the master of Jianzhen." ”

Vinaya? Fanxiu's face showed a sudden expression.

After its autobiography to Japan, Buddhism developed rapidly, scattering into many different schools, most of which focused on Zen and Taoism, and did not have strict rules and regulations. Nichiren Buddhism, Pure Land Buddhism, and the like even greatly simplified their teachings and abolished the Qing Gui in order to facilitate transmission. The Vinaya sect and the Rinzai sect are considered to be two sects that abide by the precepts, so it is no wonder that when I visited that day, I saw him meditating alone in the wind and snow.

…………

After making preparations, he took people to Kiyoshu Castle and met Oda Nobunaga.

"What?" In a normal mood, this president has never liked nonsense, and people who meet him for the first time often mistakenly think that he is in a bad mood.

Fanxiu has long been familiar with it, and he doesn't care.

"It's a music order."

"Oh?" Nobunaga glanced sideways, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and a vague smile appeared on his lips.

"Yes." He replied, "Owari has not yet been unified, so the policy of land seizure can only be postponed, but the important trade areas in the country, Tsushima, Atsuta, and Cheongju, are already under the rule of the family, and it is enough to carry out the order of Rakushi." ”

Nobunaga was silent, staring at Honhide, and suddenly sneered.

"Then let's talk about it!"

Fan Xiu was a little surprised, but his expression remained as usual, and he took out the pleadings and reported them one by one.

Considering the character of the other party, the words were simplified as much as possible, but Nobunaga only listened halfway and waved his hand impatiently.

"It's enough to discuss these things with Yoshibei (Murai Sadakatsu), do you still need me to ask them one by one?"

“…… Be. ”

Fan Xiu was stunned for a moment, then bowed down and took a few steps back.

It is indeed difficult to be happy when encountering such a nameless fire suddenly. However, the identity of the other party is there, even if there is any dissatisfaction, you can only put up with it for the time being.

"Which merchant sent it?"

Merchant?

The only merchant who came and went, Tamagoshi Sanshiro, made a deal in Mikawa, and Nobunaga's eyes and ears were not far from there.

So, what he's talking about......

"Minister, I don't know what His Highness said." In the face of a moody person like Nobunaga, it is better to get straight to the point than to try to guess his thoughts.

There was a brief silence.

Then suddenly there was a gust of wind, and I only felt a pain in my shoulder.

Nobunaga threw the folding fan at Tsunohide.

"What's the matter with that woman?"

…… Are you talking about zygotes?

"Even people like me Nobunaga only accepted the three-room side room after marrying a wife. Now with such an identity, do you want to spend all your time drinking? ”

It turned out that it was this incident that made him unhappy...... Fan Xiu was a little relieved.

"This person is just a liaison with a businessman......"

"Contact?" Nobunaga raised his eyebrows, apparently unconvinced.

"It's a house with a lot of food, and the merchant's name is Yuyue." Honhide's expression pretended not to see Nobunaga, and said to himself, "Although that merchant has a hundred years of seniority, he has no power in Owari and is easy to control...... If a new market is to be set up, it will inevitably need these new merchants who lack background to replace the entrenched merchant seats......"

When he got down to business, Nobunaga's attention was gradually drawn to him.

"After a few decades, won't these new businessmen become a powerful force again?"

The words are channeled into the orbit of the imagination, and Fan Xiu copes with it.

"Decades later, His Highness has already owned more than a dozen countries, and even if a decree is issued to abolish the throne, those merchants will not dare to make a mistake."

Nobunaga frowned and pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.

It was only at this time that Honxiu took out the gifts prepared by Yuyueya, namely the "Tang Mono Zhu Purple Shoulder Chong" and the Goryeo tea bowl painted with the twelve zodiac signs.

The other party's eyes really lit up and he couldn't put it down. The twelve Goryeo tea bowls are not unusual, although they are ingenious, but the Chikushi shoulder chong is the first Tang tea ware (that is, a tea vessel from China) in his hand.

Nobunaga is not a person who is dazed by the wisdom of the company, and if he takes out the gift first, it may be counterproductive, but if he takes it out at this time, it is the icing on the cake.

When it was done, Fan Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and Shi Li retreated.

"Wait!"

He was about to retreat to the door, when Nobunaga suddenly stopped him again.

"Your Highness......

"Next time you come to Cheongju City, don't forget to bring some gifts for the dog."

“…… Chancellor understood. ”

Such an order is not so much to feel sorry for my sister, but to remind Fanxiu.

There is no such thing as a so-called "private matter" for samurai in troubled times, and marriage is just a way to expand power. If you ignore the princess of the main family, it is likely to be considered a sign of disrespect.

……………………

After the establishment of Rakuchi, Nobunaga put Hirate Honhide in charge of the management of Shinshi.

Selecting commercial housing, collecting taxes, and demarcating areas are all very cumbersome. However, with the assistance of the famous minister Matsui Yukan, all affairs are in order, and Honhide only needs to hang the arch.

Along with Honhide's words, Tamargoshiya moved back to the vicinity of Nakono Castle and became a royal merchant for the supply of weapons to the Oda family, and was included in the list of ten merchant houses that were allowed to open an earthen warehouse in Owari. In practice, he is an agent of Tsuyoshi to keep an eye on the situation in the new market. The zygote acts as a liaison between the two parties to avoid too many direct meetings between officials and businessmen.

Merchants reacted to their interests at an astonishing rate, and within a few months, Shinshi was now home to merchants from and Suruga. Although tariffs have been abolished and actual revenues have not increased for the time being, future results can be expected.

Nobu Dayue, on the reward of meritorious deeds, Hiroshi increased the territory of 113 in 15 towns near Oki Village. The current Zhiyuki, including the part awarded to the Hattori brothers, has a total of 427 koku, which is roughly 1,200 koku when converted into an adult output, and the military service is 64 people, and he has officially become a samurai at the rank of Ashigaru general.

At this time, among Nobunaga's close ministers, in addition to the one of the people of the near branch, only Niwa Nagahide and Mori Kosei were more than a thousand Kan Zhixing, Takigawa Kazuki was about 800 Kan, and then there were 400 Kan of Honhide. And Maeda and Sasa, who are slightly older than Honhide, have less than 200 Zhixing.

After the increase in knowledge and action, the first thing that came to mind was Matsui's exploits. Fan Xiu was going to give him 30 yuan, but Matsui pushed himself to be a new person, and he should not be higher than the old minister, so he only accepted half of the 15 yuan. Then, after asking Nobunaga, Masuda Nagamori was assigned as his direct minister, and he received the same fifteen kan yu lu as Matsui. Masuda did not shirk it and accepted it gladly.

The Hattori brothers have no merit this year, and it is not appropriate to increase their knowledge and action. However, after Fan Xiu got the "bribe" from Yuyueya, he had plenty of money, and in addition to the arrears and necessary expenses in the collar, there were still more than 50 yuan left, so he allocated 30 yuan of funds to buy two military horses and reward them to the Hattori brothers. Apart from that, no suitable candidate was found, so the number of retainers remained at four for the time being.

However, the disgrace in his heart cannot be completely disappeared for the time being, and Masuda Nagamori is still closely related to Hisakate Hisahide. Therefore, Matsui Yukan managed the income and expenditure, while Masuda Nagamori was still only responsible for the work of land inspection.

After the renovation of the earthen castle in the territory was completed, it finally had the appearance of a lord, and Tsuyohide and the four retainers moved into the pavilion. Tamagoshi Sankuro mentions the matter of the zygote in a roundabout way. This girl has been dignified and deed for months, and the peasants in the collar have long regarded her as a housewife, and even the Hattori brothers have similar opinions. However, considering Nobunaga's attitude, he didn't dare to make a decision immediately, so he could only "discuss it later".

In the third year of Koji (1557), due to the Oda family's efforts to clean up the economy, there were almost no wars in the domain, and Nobunaga, who was extremely bored, gathered his close retainers and announced that he was going to carry out a large-scale autumn hunt.

The order was issued, and those young samurai who were not willing to be lonely were ready to make up for the "losses" of not participating in the war for a year, but some of the higher status may not be. Niwa Nagahide even visited Hirate, Mori, Ikeda, and Takigawa in the hope of joint advice.

"Spring is a tea party, autumn is hunting. These are flashy things after all. Niwa said this, his face worried.

Takigawa disagreed, with Hirate and Ikeda noncommittal, and only Mori was the only one who supported him. And so it was gone. However, after this incident, Fan Xiu clearly realized that his status in the eyes of outsiders had risen to a new height.

So the preparations for the autumn hunt began as usual, Matsui Yukan was a believer in the Vinaya sect, and he didn't want to see the killing scene, so he stayed in the city, and Masuda Nagamori was also quite interested in it, although he was pursuing it, and he invited himself to go with Tsuhide. And the Hattori brothers naturally don't need to mention it.
