"Don't know what?"

In front of everyone's eyes, the eunuch lay on the ground like a rice cake, even Mao Jue was a little dumbfounded, but Cao Xi was one of the protagonists today, and endured disgust, Mao Jue helplessly pulled his sleeve and pulled the dead eunuch up again, in front of those Kyoto nobles, with a smile on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Cao Xi Cao's father-in-law, who is a red servant beside His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, come, Cao's father-in-law, please take a seat!"

"Don't dare, General Mao, please!"

I was really a little unsure of what medicine was sold in Mao Jue's gourd, and he held out an ugly smile, and was pulled by Mao Jue, and Cao Xi was also dragged to the seat, next to Yu Dacheng, the father-in-law of Mao Jue's family.

After the guest and host sat down, they held their wine glasses, and in the drooling of those ministers, Mao Jue also raised his wine glasses not much.

"Today's family banquet is not so restrictive, you can just drink happily! Mao did it first as a respect, please! ”

Saying that, with his head raised, Mao Jue drank all the wine in the cup proudly, in fact, the amount of wine he drank was really good, if the Dongjiang corn was burned, a cup could give him a dry stomach, but fortunately, this was a Japanese sake that faded out of a bird, so that he could also pretend to be forced.

Don't look at the princess handed down in the Heian period, the descendants of the Fujiwara family, but the fifth family, the Qing family is also tight, the income is limited, and the wine is not drunk casually.

Not to mention, Mao Jue's head was really caught by the door today, and after three minutes of drinking, he was arrogant and raised the wine glass.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will be in the Dongjiang River, I heard that Fusang has always been known as Little China, and when I see it today, it is really worthy of its name, I am a Ming Dynasty, and the Tang Chang'an City has been destroyed in the dust, but here in Kyoto, you can still see the shadow of Chang'an City, in the streets and alleys, Tang style and Tang rhyme, it really makes Mao feel nostalgic!"

"Mao decided to pay 800,000 taels of silver and 500,000 stones of grain to rebuild this Heianjing! In order to highlight the style of the Tang Dynasty of the year!"

"General Mao is bold, we thank General Mao for his kindness!"

The head of the Eagle Division family who listened to this, the right minister and the governor almost ran out of tears, how difficult is it for the Imperial Court of the Wa Kingdom to the Yingren Rebellion to this day? The city gate collapsed without silver repair, the imperial family could not afford to marry the imperial concubine, could not afford to marry the imperial daughter, and the emperor and the imperial daughter who did not inherit the throne could only become monks and nuns. More than a dozen nobles are excitedly raising their glasses, and the compliments are like flowing water, and the sycophants are about to shoot to the sky.

Modestly waved his hand several times, which can be regarded as suppressing these compliments, but the whole banquet was also pushed to a climax, a group of ministers turned their heads to each other, scrambling to discuss where to rebuild, where to decorate, the discussion was elated, holding the wine glass, Mao Jue turned sideways, leaned towards the absent-minded Cao Xi, and asked in a low voice.

"Father-in-law Cao, you are always a person around the emperor, you should know a lot of big people, right?"

"Oh? What does General Mao think? ”

Living on the verge of being wiped out, Mao Jue's every word had to be taken seriously, Cao Xi immediately planted his ears and responded eagerly. is still like a spring breeze, but Mao Jue aimed his eyes at the elated and meaningful glances of those discussions.

"In the Dongjiang River, Mao has heard that there are often big high-rollers in the south of the Yangtze River, with Qinhuai famous prostitutes, visiting the West Lake and Huangshan, graceful and suave, spending a lot of money, this Kyoto Tang style and ancient rhyme, I believe that the attraction to these big high-rollers is no less than the West Lake and Huangshan!"

The voice was lowered, and looking at the ministers who were still discussing, Mao Jue said with a smile.

"This time to repair the city, we just occupy a large piece of land, repair a string of hotels and B&Bs, there are so many Fusang Luoluo families, and then go to the east to get some little beauties of the family to accompany the wine, those Yangzhou wealthy businessmen, Jindi big guests, and they must not spend silver like flowing water!"

"The last general Wufu is one, and he will come out of this place with this silver, Gonggong Cao, and Lord Yue, you are both big people and have a wide range of contacts, so you will come out of this head, let's make three thirds of each other, how about making this fortune together?"

The corners of Cao Xi's mouth couldn't help twitching a little, and Yu Dacheng, who was smiling and listening next to him, also jumped twice with his cheek, and he really couldn't figure out the brain circuit of this Mao adult! Occupy half of the Wa Kingdom, with more than 100,000 soldiers, even if he doesn't do a big thing, the overseas king has also been done, at this time, what he wants is to do business and make money.

It's a bit petty, isn't it?

However, looking at Mao Jue's smiling face, Cao Xi's heart was relieved a few times, first of all, since Mao Jue had wooed him, the danger of being wiped out could be put down in half. Secondly, since Mao Jue is so greedy for money and petty, then he can rest assured that he is worried about Mao Jue's rebellion, and Mao Jue can be classified as a type of Zhang Shicheng.

Thinking about these two points, Cao Xi's eyes also lit up, don't say, this is really a financial road! He knows how much silver Qin Huaihe buys every year, but unfortunately, it is already intertwined there, and the profits are almost divided by those big families and salt merchants in Nanjing, even if his father-in-law Cao Huachun can only eat some filial piety, and it is impossible to meddle in it.

If you really run this Kyoto City with Mao Jue, this fancy business, with two or three million taels of silver a year, will not be a problem, and Mao Jue has the final say here, and there will be no food to take the card.

As for whether it can be operated, Cao Xi is not worried at all, the scenery of Lake Biwa outside, the capital of the Japanese Kingdom inside, the big city built in imitation of Tang Chang'an, and there are noble women to serve, women with real status are stronger than those Qinhuai women born in Yangzhou who are thin horses, I don't know how many times, Cao Xi, who is a eunuch, is all excited, not to mention those perverted literati.

The eunuch has no offspring, the accumulation of wealth and power has become the biggest pursuit, these two things are still tied together, there is more silver, he Cao Xi filial piety is more, and the road to climb up is wider, these years, those who can become eunuchs are talents, their eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and their brains are turning faster and faster, and then the dead eunuch is excited to pat his thigh.

"Master Mao is clever! Don't worry, my lord, we will write back!"

"Oh, Father-in-law Cao, don't worry, eat first, the days are still long!"

Mao Jue was full of smiles, and quickly pulled it back, and picked up the wine glass with a smile, but Cao Xi, who was in joy, didn't notice it, and the killing intent hidden in his eyes slowly converged.

The dead eunuch is really right, if he doesn't agree this time, Mao Jue really doesn't plan to let him return to Daming alive, the unspoken rules of officialdom in these years are like this, either obedient and rebellious, he has already offended him, if he doesn't drag this dead eunuch into the water, Mao Jue is not at ease.

However, today's banquet is really not specially prepared for him.

Why are there few wars in later generations, and they can't be fought, because the production has been internationalized, an airplane, Europe produces wings, Japan's fuselage, China's tires, and American engines, no one can do without anyone, and later generations often make noise in the news about land and land passengers, and some surrounding countries and regions are stabbed, and we all work together not to travel, and immediately beat the local people to cry, and now Mao Jue is carrying out this kind of attempt, starting with the royal family, and the economic binding of a feudal domain, In the future, the economic lifeline of the entire Wa Kingdom will be tied to the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty in case of death, and they will not be able to move if they want to do anything with the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese people who make a living from tourism or exports will make trouble, and it will not be easy for Toyotomi Hideyoshi to reincarnate.

After this Cao Xi finished speaking, as his father-in-law, Yu Dacheng was naturally not far behind, the old guy expressed his crepe paper, and he also knew a lot of friends who were "good at traveling in the mountains and rivers", and then introduced it, silver is ten thousand "don't want"! Mao Jue also understood and promised again and again, and the matter was settled.

Squinting at the bottom while eating a vegetarian meal, those Kyoto nobles were still discussing where to rebuild and rebuild, the corners of their mouths provoked an evil arc, Mao Jue's eyebrows couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile.

…………

In the city, when Mao Jue was talking about big business, another banquet was also going on, although compared to Mao Jue's banquet, this banquet was much colder.

It is still a pleasant scenery of Wakayama Mountain, when Song Xiance came, it was still a heavy snow mountain, and everything was smashed, but now it is green and red, fragrant trees and flowers, a vibrant natural scenery.

It's still the last imperial annex, thanks to Mao Jue's blessing, the dilapidated eaves are obviously repaired by some servants, and the old facilities in the house have also been replaced with a lot of new ones, but the set of tea sets that the little emperor boiled tea is still the original.

The older this thing is, the more valuable it is.

There is also a special guest this time, in order to express the intimacy between the Toyotomi family and the imperial family, the only task of the head of the Toyotomi family is to swagger around in pairs with the little emperor, where Ming is going, Kunimatsumaru can go with him, and this emperor boils tea to entertain guests, and Kunimatsumaru is to drink tea with him.

It's just that wherever Kunimatsumaru goes, the two old retainers behind him, Tsuno Kino, and Nagalu Nobuo followed, after experiencing the emperor's imperial banquet, the entire Toyotomi family is now more than 100 retainers are worried, for fear that this family head will do something that will lose the family identity, the two retainers knelt under the hall, their eyes were as wide as light bulbs.

The green tea powder exudes fragrance in the pot, for a long time, the little emperor elegantly raised his sleeves and held the spoon, the hot and fragrant green tea did not spill a trace, and was smoothly placed in the tea bowl, and the little emperor with a trace of crystal sweat beads on his forehead also showed a smile.

"Toyotomi family master, please!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Still looking respectful, the kneeling Kunimatsumaru was a long defeat in standard etiquette, so he held the tea bowl in front of him and took a sip of it.

This trip to Inaba Zhengsheng arrived, so that the palace has also been purged recently, those shogunate servants who were obediently stabbed lost their power again, and went down to do miscellaneous work sadly, and the other Mao Jue turned back confidently, and did not send any more eyeliner to the palace, and even took the little emperor to relax a lot. Watching Guomatsu Pill drinking tea, Mingzheng also lost the etiquette of the past, with his little head supported by his two arms, lying on the table, looking at it very girlishly, for a while, she couldn't help but be curious, and asked with interest.

"Toyotomi family master, you defeated the Tokugawa family in the third battle of Osaka, and you beat the Tokugawa generals and fled, you must be very brave! Tell me how to fight! ”

"Ah......h

In an instant, like an electric shock, Kunimatsumaru almost threw away the tea bowl, his face was full of nervousness, but it was the first time that he had been in the house for so long, and his gaze stayed on Mingzheng's little face for so long.
