Sasaki was a Japanese nobleman in Owangjo. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For the three generations, Sasaki's family was actually just an ordinary carpenter family in Owangjo, Sasaki's great-grandfather was a skilled carpenter, but in the middle of the Heian period, Sasaki's hometown suffered a rebellion caused by samurai and ronin, so Sasaki's great-grandfather had to put down the carpenter's carving knife and take up a spear and a large sword to defend his homeland.

In a battle with the rebel ronin, Sasaki's great-grandfather single-handedly captured more than 30 Japanese ronins alive with traps and traps, which made his great-grandfather famous in the Owangjo area.

After the rebellion of the samurai ronin was suppressed, Sasaki's great-grandfather was elected by the village names to become the local daimyo.

Daimyo is the name of the lord in the feudal system in ancient Japan, which is transformed from the word relatively large lord, the so-called lord is the lord of some land or manor, and the larger and larger land is the lord of the daimyo for short.

In order to protect their homes, most of the lords of the land or manor have their own forces, generally called samurai, which is equivalent to the ancient Chinese courtyard and guard, and the larger the scale, and then become the lord of a large territory, that is the so-called daimyo.

Because the rebellious samurai and ronin killed most of the Japanese landowners, a vast area of land that became borderless, and Sasaki's great-grandfather deserved it as a daimyo elected by the village names.

From then on, the prosperity of the Sasaki family began.

Located 100 miles west of Osaka Castle, Owang Castle is the main road to Osaka from west to east, and its geographical location is very important, and the transportation is convenient, coupled with the prosperity of commercial activities near Osaka, which makes the development of Owang Castle extremely rapid.

Since the beginning of the reign of Emperor Suzaku, Daio Castle has been included in the fortress town, and through Emperor Murakami, Emperor Ryosen, and now Emperor Enryun, Daio Castle has become one of the first cities in Japan to develop rapidly under the command of the Japanese Imperial Family.

Sasaki's family also continued to grow during this time, eventually growing into a daimyo lord who completely controlled the Great King Castle and its surroundings.

Sasaki's family has been passed down from his great-grandfather to him for a total of five generations.

The accumulation of five generations was passed on to Sasaki, and the entire family was already a behemoth.

Sasaki was the first son born to Sasaki's main room, so he also enjoyed the luxurious life brought to him by the whole behemoth, and he was able to meet everything he wanted since he was a child, which made Sasaki accustomed to being a gentleman who did not learn and did not know.

But it didn't matter, because the huge family controlled all the land around the castle, and even if Sasaki didn't do anything, he could lie on the tatami mats every month and enjoy the large amount of food, gold and silver offered by the people.

Although this kind of life was comfortable, it was indeed a bit boring, so Sasaki began to develop some habits that nobles should have, such as collecting luxury goods.

The Japanese aristocracy is famous for their penchant for collecting, collecting ancient artifacts, collecting ancient texts, collecting ancient calligraphy and paintings, and collecting all kinds of luxurious and exquisite things, but what they collect has one thing in common, that is, all these things are expensive.

Expensive is not a problem, only the more expensive it is, the more it can reflect the nobility of its identity.

Therefore, the more expensive things can stimulate the nobles' desire to buy, and the rarer things are, the more they can have the strength to compete with other nobles.

After falling in love with collecting and comparing, Sasaki's living expenses increased in vain, and he spent 1,000 taels of silver on a strange stone shaped like a crane, and also spent 3,000 taels of silver on a complete set of ceramic cups handed down from the Central Plains.

But these things are completely insignificant for Sasaki, who loves to compare, and in order to compare with the nobles of Osaka Castle, the value of the luxury items he bought even exceeded 30,000 taels.

30,000 taels of silver, even if these silver are placed in the land for the miners to mine, it will take a long time, let alone spend it directly.

But Sasaki still doesn't care, because his family is rich, what he needs is a life that can be envied by the nobles around him, only the more extravagant, the more weight....

.......

Today, Ichiro Kimura of Osaka Castle suddenly sent someone to invite Sasaki to his mansion, and along with Sasaki, there were two great nobles in the surrounding area, Nanda and Yamamoto.

Kimura, Nanda, Yamamoto, and Sasaki were usually the nobles with whom they had good personal relations, and they were also the larger nobles in the entire western region, each family controlled a large part of the territory, and tens of thousands of peasants worked for them in their territory.

As aristocrats, one of their favorite things on weekdays is to buy luxury goods and invite others to the mansion to show off.

Today, I suddenly received an invitation from Ichiro Kimura, which made Sasaki a little curious.

"What kind of treasure did this guy Kimura get, hiding it so much that he can't even breathe through it?" Sasaki sat on the main seat of the hall and asked the messenger sent by Ichiro Kimura.

The messenger in the green robe bowed down and said humbly, "Dear Lord Sasaki, my master said that when you arrive at the house, you will naturally know what he wants to show. ”

"Okay, okay, since Kimura is so laborious that he wants to invite the three of us to his house to see the baby, Lord Ben can't help but give him face, come here, prepare the carriage~"....

....

It took half a day to get from Ooh Castle to Osaka Castle, and by the time Sasaki arrived at Kimura Ichiro's mansion in a carriage with the service of his entourage, it was already early afternoon.

The butler, who had been waiting for a long time, helped tie the horses and asked Sasaki to enter the hall to meet Kimura.

When Sasaki came to the hall, he found that Kimura, Nanda, and Yamamoto had already been drinking tea and waiting here.

"I said, Saki-kun, why are you so late today, we've been waiting for a long time." Nantian took a sip of tea.

"Yes, yes, on weekdays, you say that you are the most active in looking at the baby, today Kimura-kun invites us to look at the baby, you came so late." Yamamoto also said with a slight accusation.

Sasaki glanced at Kimura before he spoke: "I asked the messenger several times, but he didn't mention the baby, and said that I would come, I don't even know anything about this baby, and I am interested in rushing over." ”

After listening to Sasaki's call, Kimura Ichiro was also a little breathless, and he hurriedly said confidently: "Let you come to see the baby today, in fact, I want to give you a surprise, since Sasaki-kun can't wait, then I won't sell the lawsuit anymore, come here!" Bring the table up! ”.....
