God knows when it started with this head, but after that, it was out of control.

In the past, when the Tsugawa family entrusted the Mogami family to "seek officials", they gave the Mogami family thousands of times, but in fact, the Tsugawa family didn't know how "cheap" the current official position was! A doctor from the fourth rank of Zuojing, Date Minoru only spent 300 gold on a small sentence, and Date Harumune only gave a symbolic benefit fee when he sent an envoy to renew his term.

Most of Tsugawa Soji's thousands of kan fell into the pockets of Mogami Yoshimori, and in fact, Mogami only spent 1,000 kan to get Tsugawa Soji an official career in Dehasuke. If Tsugawa Soharu knew about this, I'm afraid Mogami Yoshimori would have a hard time now.

In short, the current imperial court, whether it is the emperor or the minister, is a group of poor B!

The purpose of the Saionji Chief's envoy to Ou this time is also very simple, that is, to "contact" the daimyo in the Ou region, and by the way, to sell another wave of official positions..... The cousin of the head of Saionji, Saionji Gongjiu, had successfully fooled Date Harumune at the Date family, and it took 1,500 yuan to renew the position of Doctor Sakyo. And the prince of Saionji Temple came to Yamagata Castle specially to mix a little oil and water in the Mogami family.

But on the way, the chief of Saionji heard the bad news that the Tsugawa family had defeated the Mogami family and entered Yamagata Castle, which made the chief of Saionji want to kill for a while.

In the past, the Imperial Court had sent envoys to the Ou area, and according to the past practice, the Daimyo of the Ou area were able to pay the Date family, the Takamizunera Shiba family, the Nangaoka family, the Nanbu family, and the Mogami family.

But the Takamizuji Shiba family, the Nangaoka family, and the Nanbu family have all been defeated by the Tsugawa family, and now the last Mogami family has also succumbed to the crotch of Tsugawa Soji, so where does the head of Saionji go to make money?

Since the last time Tsugawa Soji spent money to buy an official position, it was the Mogami family who came forward, so neither the shogunate nor the imperial court knew that the Tsugawa family was also a "potential customer". At that time, the people in the imperial court thought that the top family was spending money to benefit "subordinates". Such a generous supreme family is undoubtedly a local tyrant who regards money like dung in the eyes of the imperial court, so it is also the focus of the head of Xiyuan Temple this time.

But this "fat sheep" was actually defeated by the Tsugawa family, and it is strange that the head of Saionji Temple does not hate Tsugawa Soji. So as soon as he saw Tsugawa Soji, there was no good look on the face of the head of Saionji.

.......

Instructed the wise ten guards to arrange for the chief of Saionji Temple to live at Kurigenji Temple outside Yamagata Castle, Tsugawa Soji was confused and called Mogami Yoshimori and Hosokawa Naomoto and others, "Why did the imperial court's pardon envoy suddenly visit my house?" What do you think about Settsu and Dewa? ”

Hearing Tsugawa Soji's words, Mogami Yoshimori and Hosokawa Naoto were both stunned, and then Hosokawa Naomoto, who was more familiar with Tsugawa Soji, asked directly, "The main hall really doesn't know?" ”

"Nonsense!" Soji Tsugawa rolled his eyes and replied angrily, "If the family knows, I still need to ask you?" ”

"Uh...."A hint of embarrassment flashed on Hosokawa Naomoto's face, and then he said helplessly to Tsugawa Soji, "The main hall, according to the opinion below, the Xiyuan Temple Hall came this time to serve the imperial court.. Collecting money for the imperial court. ”

"Collect money?" Soji Tsugawa nodded thoughtfully, and then said to Mogami Yoshimori, who was fidgeting on the side, "Mogami Yoshimori, aren't you going to say something?" ”

"Huh? Ha! Mogami Yoshimori wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then replied with a sad face, "The Saionji Temple wanted to come this time to find the next place, but suddenly the main hall entered the Yamagata Castle, so the Saionji Temple was a little discouraged." ”

"The main hall... The main hall only needs to spend some money, so it can naturally send the head of Xiyuan Temple away. Mogami Yoshimori continued.

"Huh!" Soji Tsugawa couldn't help but laugh twice, and then said to Mogami Yoshimori and Hosokawa Naomoto, "The imperial court has an amnesty envoy coming every year?" ”

"Not necessarily." Hosokawa Naomoto took over at this time, "Sometimes twice a year, sometimes every other year or every few years. Originally, the imperial court sent imperial letters directly to the daimyo in various places, and some powerful people sometimes received them. Later, there was a special pardon envoy who made a special trip to some forces who were willing to pay money.,This time the head of Saionji Temple came to Yamagata Castle.,I think it's because of the last trip to Shangluo.。 ”

After speaking, Hosokawa Naogen also explained some "unknown" court secrets like Tsugawa Soji, such as buying and selling officials and the emperor's imperial pen, and other things that made Tsugawa Soji can't help but be angry.

"If the family remembers correctly, the money you paid for your trip to Kyoto last time was from the family, right?" After Hosokawa Naomoto finished speaking, Tsugawa Soji looked at Mogami Yoshimori at this time, and then said with a fierce look in his eyes, "Maybe you didn't mention your family to the imperial court, right?" ”

"How is this possible!" Mogami Yoshimaru denied it, joking that if he admitted it, he wouldn't be killed by Soji Tsugawa? "Don't be too careful in the main hall, this family will never do this."

"In this case, if it is counted according to the three thousand pieces of the family's offering? How can you only get a mere six from the top of the Izubasuke? "Tsugawa Soji feels that he has been deeply deceived by Mogami Yoshimori, this Nima learned the news from Hosokawa Naomoto just now, and above 3000 kan, you can also buy a national shou and liaotou from the fifth rank and the like.

Hearing Tsugawa Soji's questioning, Mogami Yoshimaru suddenly panicked, while Hosokawa Naomoto on the side looked like he was watching a good show and didn't say a word. It wasn't until the atmosphere was unusually depressing that Soji Tsugawa continued to speak, "That's it! ”

"This has happened, and there is no need to mention the past!" Tsugawa Soji thought about the century-old savings of the Mogami family that he had looted in Yamagata Castle, and then he generously forgave Mogami Yoshimori.

Mogami Yishou suddenly shouted as if he had been pardoned, "Thank you for the hall, this kindness and righteousness are remembered!" ”

"If, according to what you said, the head of Xiyuan Temple is here for money, then it will be easy to do!" Soji Tsugawa suddenly showed a smile on his face, "Money? This family has it! Now the family lacks everything, but there is no shortage of money! ”

Tsukawa Soji's wealthy appearance made the two salted fish Mogami Yoshimori and Hosokawa Naogen on the side not envious, in fact, Tsugawa Soji really didn't brag NB.

The current Tsugawa family's annual income is nearly 10,000 guan for maritime trade alone, plus the kimchi that is now popular all RB, as well as the output of gold mines and gold mines in the territory, the annual income of the Tsugawa family is conservatively estimated to be more than 50,000 kan!

"The family has decided to hold a banquet at Yamagata Castle in three days, and the retainers and subordinate people of the family must all be present, and the family should be happy to entertain the angels from Kyoto!" Soji Tsugawa said to Hosokawa Naogen beside him, "This matter is the sole responsibility of Settsu Mamoru you, don't worry about the cost, this money is completely affordable for the family!" ”

"Haha!" Hosokawa Naomoto hurriedly took the order.

It's time to brush up on a wave of prestige! The Tsugawa family has been developing for five or six years, and it's time for the whole RB people to know that my Tsugawa family is not just a kimchi seller, but a powerful daimyo!
