Chapter 46: Prelude to the Journey
After bidding farewell to Kinoshita Tengjiro, the clan went to the office, but he didn't plan to take all the money to buy equipment, and the spears could be ordered in Owari, so he only planned to use some of the money to buy iron cannons. The rest of the money was for Kinoshita Toyoshiro to buy a spear in Owari, anyway, the clan just treated this mission as a tour.
In the office, as soon as the old acquaintance Murai Sadakatsu saw the Takayama clan coming, he immediately greeted him, and said with a smile: "Lord Takayama, I have prepared the 30,000 pieces needed for the separation of soldiers and peasants, and I ask my lord to inspect it." Murai said, pointing to the three bags of marijuana in the corner.
It seems that this Murai Sadakatsu is really efficient, he and Kinoshita Tojiro just stayed in the assessment room for a while, and he was actually ready, but when the clan followed the direction of his finger, after seeing the three sacks, he couldn't help frowning, I, so much money, how can I let Lao Tzu take it.
Clan Zong walked over, and after picking one of the sacks with both hands, he said, "Murai-sama, I'm only responsible for buying iron cannons, this money is enough, and Kinoshita-sama will come to pick up the rest later." ”
"It's okay, what you have is 10,000, and please draw a charge here." Murai Sadakatsu handed the account book in his hand to the clan and said.
After carrying 10,000 pieces of gold back to the samurai's mansion, the clan was already exhausted and out of breath, 10,000 guan was quite a weight of sixty catties, if it wasn't for the clan sect's diligent training in the past two years, he really couldn't carry it back.
"Your Excellency, you're back." When Sakura saw that the clan had returned, she immediately greeted her, and when she saw the very heavy hemp bag next to her husband, she asked curiously, "My lord, what is this?" ”
The clan sighed and said, "Alas, don't mention it, the Oda family has begun to implement the separation of soldiers and peasants, and this money is used to buy weapons. My shoulder hurts, go back to the house and help me pinch it. ”
Sakura followed the clan into the main hall and asked curiously, "My lord, what is the separation of soldiers and peasants?" ”
"I told you that you don't understand, anyway, it's a system that can improve the combat power of the ashigaru, oh, by the way, I'm going to go on a long trip, at least two months, and at most April to come back, during this time, everything at home will be entrusted to you."
Sakura saw that she had just been reunited with her husband and was about to be separated again, and she was inevitably a little melancholy, but she was a reasonable person, and she knew that the more she was entangled in tasks, the more it showed that Oda Hall trusted her husband. How can I prevent my husband from restoring his family name for his own selfishness? Sakura's face immediately returned to its original state. "Sit down, and Sakura will help you pack up."
The clan is sitting in the main hall, and the other retainers have tasks on their bodies, so now only Kagawa Tadaji and Yamauchi Ichitoyo are present at home, and the clan thought to himself, this time I can't get close to the way to buy iron cannons, and I have so many Jin Xiaoju, although I let Yamauchi Ichiho escort him, it is not possible, but after all, his martial arts are limited, in case something happens along the way, it is a trivial matter to lose the money, if the little life is lost, then there is no play.
The clan thought about it, anyway, now that the flag in the family is almost trained, it is better to let Yamauchi Kazutoyo return to Dongqi Castle and replace the Maeda Toshiya back.
If you can have Maeda Toshiya protection along the way, then you can rest assured. If you can bring Wasuka Masakatsu again, it will be even more foolproof. I don't know how the ninja army is training now.
The clan immediately ordered: "Yifeng, you immediately go back to Dongqi City now, go to take over the Maeda Toshiya to be responsible for training Ashigaru, and by the way, let Zhengsheng come back, I have something to order." ”
Yamauchi Ichitoyo thought to himself, I don't know what task the lord received from the main hall again, but it seems that this time I am afraid that I will not have my own share, and I must improve my martial arts as soon as possible, otherwise if it always goes on like this, when will I be appreciated by the lord, alas, Yamauchi Ichitoyo sighed secretly, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, my subordinates will go and inform the two adults." The subordinates retired. After saluting, he walked quickly out of the main hall and went straight to Dongqi City.
When the clan was waiting for the two to come, he was constantly thinking about where to buy iron cannons, and now there are three places that are very suitable, one is Omi to find a national friend house to buy, this advantage is that the road is relatively close, I'm afraid it won't take a month to go back and forth, but in his heart, he really can't look down on the local workshop-style production model, so he quickly denied this place, and the rest is Kyoto and the world, but when he thought that Kyoto has long been depressed, although there are a few big businesses still struggling to support there, However, it is more difficult to reduce the price of iron cannons, and in comparison, this place is full of opportunities, so there are many merchants who engage in speculation, and if you can connect with the Nanban merchants, it will be perfect. ,
The sparrow house in the arithmetic world is almost open, so you can go over and inspect it to see if the two boys from Yamada Nagamasa and Nakamura Kazushi are lazy.
Thinking of this, the clan said to Kagawa Tadaji: "You immediately write a letter to Yamada Nagamasa and Nakamura Kazuji, saying that I am going to the realm to buy iron cannons in the near future, and let them negotiate with the merchants there first. ”
"Yes, my subordinates will go." After Kagawa Tadaji answered, he asked cautiously: "But...lord, can you bring your subordinates with you to the realm this time, if you have subordinates to accompany you, I guarantee that your subordinates will not let the lord suffer." ”
The clan thought about it for a while, if he was to bring him, there would be only one person left in the family, and he would have to live in Dongqi Castle, he really couldn't rest assured that Sakura and Matsurumuru Maru, and besides, this time he went to the world to talk about a big deal, and if Kagawa Tadashi was too careful, in case the deal was broken, it would be difficult to explain it to Nobunaga. So I didn't agree to take him with me.
In the evening, Maeda Toshiie and Wasuka Masakatsu rushed to the samurai mansion of Kiyosu Castle non-stop, and as soon as they were seated, the clan said, "Left, I received an order from the lord. I'm going to go to the realm to buy iron cannons, and I'll be escorted by you along the way. ”
Maeda Toshiya said respectfully: "It's the lord, the subordinates have completed the handover with Lord Yamauchi, and they can leave at any time." ”
The clan nodded, and asked Wasuka Masakatsu, "How is the situation of the ninja army now?" ”
"Back to the lord, the ninja army has already completed its training, and after the lord's acceptance is correct, his subordinates plan to let them go to the countries around Owari to collect intelligence first. Please also ask the Lord to decide. ”
Clan Zongxin said, the ninja is such a professional skill with such a high content, Lao Tzu is a layman, how to accept, and now there is no battle to fight, and collecting intelligence is not immediately able to see the effect, isn't this embarrassing Lao Tzu.
I saw that the clan sect waved his hand and said: "There is no need to test, this time you go to the realm, you bring twenty ninjas to follow, and the other ninjas will be assigned to the surrounding countries to collect intelligence according to what you say." ”
Where did Bee Suga Zhengsheng know that the Dao Clan Sect didn't want to test the ninja's combat power, but he didn't know how to test the Dao, he thought that this was the lord's trust in him, so he was very excited, and hurriedly bowed and saluted and said: "The subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord, and the subordinates will go down to arrange it." ”
