54. Start construction

"Count it!" I sat down on the ground with my butt and said, "Whew! Whew! He gasped for air. I'm sitting on the top of Mt. Ninomiya right now, and my bones seem to be falling apart. Here's how it happened: After my genius strategy was announced that day, Oda Nobunaga immediately executed it, and Niwa Nagahide, a famous man who built the castle, was appointed as the "general contractor" for the construction of Ninomiya Mountain. Because of my outstanding performance, Niwa Nagahide asked me to participate in this project. At first, I was very happy, because based on my experience of playing Taiko Rishiden, it was a high-ranking and non-dangerous job. But when I came, I realized that this slope, which is estimated to be more than 300 meters above sea level, is really enough for me to climb! When I was in school, I wasn't up to par for sports! If it weren't for the fact that Shima Katsu and the others pulled and dragged, I thought that I would have sacrificed my life for the Oda family halfway through! So I was able to hide as much as I could, and this was only the second time I came up, including the time I surveyed the terrain.

"Lord! Didn't you dig your own pit and bury it yourself? Why bother!" Keiji Maeda was talking cool on the side. He sat under a large tree and fanned the wind with his straw hat. After all, he was a professional samurai, and he didn't look like he was sweating much.

"Also...... Not yet...... It's all you! …… Didn't you say Ninomiya Mountain...... So good! So good! …… I'm going to come up with this idea? Grunt! Grunt! As I spoke, I grabbed the water hyacinth handed over by Kusunoki Hayato and gulped it down.

"Did I say that? How come I don't remember? Seeing my murderous gaze, Keiji Maeda hurriedly changed his words and said, "Even if I said it was good, I didn't ask you to say it to Shinaga!" Don't you know the difference between inside and outside? Like what you said to Lady Xianzhi, will you tell me all the private words? ”

"Cut~!" I really don't know what to do with this scoundrel!

"But then again! My lord~! You're really going to have to work out......" He looked me up and down with the eyes of the pork. "Otherwise, when the time comes, you won't even be able to run!"

"Don't worry!" I finally got out of breath. "In our group, when it comes to running away, no one but you is my own!"

"My lord! You're here! "While I was talking to Keiji Maeda, Kanosuke Yamanaka walked over quickly. He has been staying on the mountain for the past few days, taking charge of the preparation of our part of the project.

"Oh! Kanosuke! "I stood up against a tree." You've done a great job! How's the preparation? ”

"It's almost done!" He pointed to a short distance away and said, "Our lot is over there, please come with me!" ”

We followed Shikanosuke to a site where a lot of building materials were already piled up. Although this is on the mountain, the ground here is not hard and fairly flat.

"Our section is from here to there, and the distance is about 160 zhang...... "Kanosuke Yamanaka began to explain the situation. According to the drawings and Niwa-sama's instructions, the foundation was to be dug 1 zhang 8 feet deep, and there was a rock barrier 3 zhang 2 feet high on the ground. Build a pheasant wall with a buttress mouth 1 zhang 5 feet high on the rock rampart, and build a shooting hole every 8 feet 2 feet from the battlement. There are no gates in our section, but there are 5 watchtowers and 2 turrets. ”

"Good guys!" Ke'er Caizang was amazed. "Nobu's great handwriting is really big!"

"At this scale, I'm afraid that I will move Jucheng here in the future!" Shimakatsu said on the side. "Lord, did you say that?"

I didn't answer him, but turned to Keiji Maeda and said, "What do you think?" ”

"Superfluous!" His answer was crisp and concise.

"Why do you say that?" I am very fortunate in his attitude.

"Shin Naga's hall is a very ambitious man, but on the other hand, his personality is like a child, and the city territory is just his toy!" Keiji Maeda's tone was calm and untouched. "For such a child, no matter how good the toy is, it won't take long to get tired of it. At that time, he will not hesitate to discard it and then go on to find a new toy! And this child has extraordinary strength, if no one stops him, he will one day get this 'big toy' in the world! If he gets tired of it......" he didn't go on, and no one asked. "That's right! Is the 'old turtle' here? Another question suddenly occurred to him.

"Old tortoise?" Yamanaka Kanosuke was stunned by his question.

"I recommended a foreman, how? Hasn't he arrived yet? Keiji Maeda explained.

"Ah~! You're talking about Mr. Kameyoshimaru, right? Kanosuke suddenly realized.

"That 'old turtle' deserves to be called sir?" Keiji Maeda looked very dissatisfied. "Is he here at all?" He asked impatiently.

"It's coming! Here it comes! He arrived two days ago. He picked the artisans we assigned, and he helped recruit some! Yamanaka Kanosuke was anxious to answer, but I always felt that he was trying to keep himself from laughing.

"Lord Stars! I'm Kameyoshimaru, and I'm a civil engineering and construction businessman. Thank you for your kind attention! "A person was brought to me, and I now understand why Kanosuke is smiling! He should only be in his forties, but the hair on his big round head is almost gone. On his big face, almost everything is big! Garlic nose, big ears, catfish-like mouth. Oh no! One of them was small, that pair of sparkling green bean eyes! His body is a ball with the diameter of his head multiplied by three, and his limbs are no longer than one foot five. This honor is very effective without wearing a vest, but he just wears a big one. (The kind that the owner of the Kikyo shop often wears in "Smart Ikyu"!) I also know not to make fun of other people's looks (I don't look good myself!). But I just can't help it!

"Is it Boss Kameyoshimaru?" I try to smile as amiably as possible. "This time, please do a lot!"

"Lord, don't worry!" The first person to answer me was Keiji Maeda. "Who doesn't know this 'old turtle' in this line of work? At least in the thick tail area, no one can compare to him when it comes to making holes in the wall! ”

"Hmmm! ......"I don't think Keiji Maeda will cheat me on such a big thing, this person should be the best among the contractors." "Then you should bother more! I won't treat you badly......" After calculating the income and balance of the past few months in my heart, I said: "I can complete the work on time and with good quality, and I will subsidize 100 yuan for each worker in addition to the agreed honorarium." If the high quality is completed, and the progress exceeds all other lots, I will give each worker another 1 stone of rice, and you and I will be rewarded with another 30 pieces! ”

"Ah~!" After being taken aback, he reacted quickly. "I've long heard that Lord Zhuxing is generous and bold, but when I see it today, it's even more famous!" His already small eyes were no longer available. "I've wanted to play for you for a long time, and this time it's really thanks to the 'Little Flower'......"

"Little Flower !!" Everyone's eyes widened.

'What?' Haven't you heard of Hana's Keiji? Keiji Maeda said proudly.

"That's it! Let's all go to work! 'Little Flower' stays. "I stopped the crowd from laughing." Did you just have something you didn't say? If so, I'd like to hear it! "I said solemnly after everyone left.

"I really want to say this to my lord!" Keiji Maeda shrugged his shoulders. "The same is true of the Shincho Hall for things, and it is also true for people. Someday, if the lord is useless, or if he feels that he has lost his freshness......" he shook his head and left.
