Since reaching an agreement with Harunobu Takeda, Tsukahara Molong has not been in a hurry to engage in business, but has started his old business: opening a dojo. At the same time, the news that Tsukahara Molong was besieged by a group of warriors not only did not die, but killed more than 30 people once again swept through the Japanese archipelago like a hurricane. For ordinary people, there may be nothing, far less than the dream of breaking the 38,000 army with 18 horsemen in the night battle of Ninja City, but for those who understand the ninja industry, they all gasp, and have a more intuitive impression of Tsukahara Molong's superb martial arts. Therefore, after learning that Tsukahara Moryū opened a dojo of Katori Shinto-ryu in Kai, coupled with Tsukahara Buchuan's willingness to help, he sat here for a few days, and the people who came to learn the art almost broke through the threshold of the dojo. And countless wealthy samurai came with gifts, hoping to get the same door-to-door guidance as Tsukahara Moryu did in Ueno Province.

On the other hand, Tsukahara Molong began to deliberately befriend some bandit ronins of Kai, and tried to assimilate them in order to re-establish the Demon Dragon Society. Thanks to the experience in Ueno Province and the great reputation of Tsukahara Muryu, the formation work went surprisingly smoothly. Regarding the information about Tsukahara Molong, Kansuke Yamamoto would send a copy to Takeda Harunobu every day, and the Takeda Harunobu who read it was inexplicable, and he didn't know what he was planning to do. Is he really planning to open a dojo here?

Not only Takeda Harunobu, but also the Hojo family, the Uesugi family, the Murakami family, the Imagawa family, and countless other families are paying attention to Tsukahara Molong to see what he really wants to do.

Half a month later, Tsukahara Buden led the disciples to leave Kai and continue to Nijo Castle, and at this time, the dojo in Kai was also on the right track, and the Demon Dragon Society was becoming more and more perfect, and Tsukahara Molong gradually gained a firm foothold in Kai Country through the dojo and the Demon Dragon Society. At this time, a shop called Suiyunya had a grand opening, and although the store was small and there were few people in attendance, many masters came to the Demon Dragon Society and Katori Shinto Ryo Dojo to tell the people around that this shop was not something that could be easily provoked. The wealthy businessmen of the Fei Kingdom are always very keen on business, although their social status is not high, but they can survive and become bigger and stronger, which is a black and white character. Originally, they didn't have much feeling about the opening of this water rhyme house, but they investigated a little out of vigilance, but they were warned in black and white. As soon as the ruffians who received the money and could command them at will like mad dogs after receiving the money, they hurriedly told them that they had been warned by the Demon Dragon Society in advance, and it was best not to provoke them. This surprised the merchants, who could make both the samurai and the bandit ronin pay so much attention at the same time?

However, this person is not in Kai, but in Sunfu Castle in Suruga Province. The spring water is tinkling, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and Imagawa Yoshimasa, who is dressed in a milky white princess costume, orders tea elegantly, and his skillful skills are pleasing to the eye. And Taiyuan Xuezhai, who was dressed in a simple monk's robe, smiled and looked at everything in front of him.

"Please."

"Thank you, sir." Tsukahara Moryū smiled and took the delicate tea bowl in Imagawa Yoshimoto's hand and took a sip.

"The tea ceremony of adults is superb, and I have long heard that Suruga is a place of cultural prosperity, and it is true that I can see adults today." Putting down the tea bowl, the corners of Tsukahara Molong's lips raised slightly.

"Oh? Mo Long also knows the tea ceremony? Taiyuan Xuezhai said with a kind smile, if you don't know that this person assists Imagawa Yoshigen to make the land of the Three Kingdoms, Wen Taowu is a first-class person at that time, I am afraid that he will really think that he is just an ordinary monk. I'd like to hear about it. ”

"In front of the two of you, how dare you understand?" Tsukahara Molong said modestly, but then spoke: "What's more, the Tao of Daisuke Jibu is not the same as the Tao of Molong. ”

"Huh?" Imagawa Yoshimoto was obviously interested in Tsukahara Moryū, and asked with a smile, "What's the difference?" ”

"What Molong pursues is the ultimate of swordsmanship, and the way of Daisuke-sama Jibe is to dominate the world."

Dominate the world! Imagawa Yoshimoto and Taiyuan Xuesai both changed their faces slightly, but then they covered it up well. "Why did Mo Long say this?"

"At present, Lord Daisuke of the Ministry of Governance is sitting in the land of the Three Kingdoms, and the throat of Tokaido is in the hands of adults, with convenient transportation, the benefits of fish and salt, and the wealth of merchants are enough to support the dispatch of the army. The previous confrontation with the Oda family against Kodozaka was enough to show the enterprising spirit of adults. ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto smiled reservedly when he heard this, and asked with a little playfulness in his eyes, "With what you see, how can you dominate the world?" ”

"Mo Long is just a martial artist, he doesn't know anything about governing the country, he only knows that if he wants to become the best swordsman in the world, he must have both a strong physique and a sharp sword. At present, the Imagawa family has initially decided on the Mikawa country, and the army has been greatly constrained, but fortunately, most of the troops who have been constrained are the wealthy families under the command of adults. ”

Hearing this, Imagawa Yoshimoto and Taiyuan Yukisai's faces changed again, but Tsukahara Moryū only smiled and continued: "When you became the governor of the family, you borrowed the power of the important ministers under your command, but you are the master of the Imagawa family, so now is not a good opportunity. Adults can form an elite force that belongs directly to them, so as to counterbalance the growing retainers. ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was poked in the sore spot, no longer had the calm and elegance he had at the beginning, but stared at Tsukahara Molong and said: "It takes a lot of money to form an elite. ”

"Not bad. All along, the funds were too scattered, too much money flowed into the hands of ordinary merchants, they became rich and rivaled the country, and the adults could not levy too high taxes in order to maintain the development of commerce, which made the development of merchants have also been a little out of control. ”

Taiyuan Xuezhai glanced at Tsukahara Molong, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

"So I had an idea, why not find an agent to do business. After all, a hundred yuan, now adults can only get five, if adults can meddle in business, they will get more. ”

"The family already has a royal merchant." Imagawa Yoshimoto spoke, but his eyes revealed that he wanted to know more.

"The royal merchant is responsible for the procurement of materials, and in the final analysis, it is still the people in the circle of merchants. By agent, I am a medium between a samurai and a merchant, a person who can provide financial and political support to the samurai. ”

Financial support! Imagawa Yoshimoto and Taiyuan Xuezhai suddenly looked bright.

"Yes, the samurai provide convenience for the agent, and the agent provides commercial benefits."

Imagawa Yoshimoto and Taiyuan Yukisai immediately understood the principle of coming over to operate, and also understood Tsukahara Molong's thoughts, but didn't he get close to the Takeda family? The two quickly remembered that Tsukahara Molong had extorted a lot of money from Takeda Harunobu for the assassination, which was originally just a joke, but if it is linked to Tsukahara Molong's behavior today, it is very consistent with his image of greed for money.
