Chapter 189: Letter of Appointment of the Tributary Envoy

Yamashina Yanji was quite sorry that he could not agree to Oda Yoshinobu to identify the Saito family as an enemy of the court, because he wished that the imperial court could identify the enemy once, so how could the prestige of the imperial court be improved, and of course, more importantly, the imperial court could obtain a lot of money through this. www.biquge.info It's just a pity that he doesn't mind that the Oda family's current official position is too low, but for other ministers, this is very important.

But then again, maybe that's why the court is so poor? Who knows? Anyway, Oda Yoshinobu didn't care about it at all. Because he was just mentioning it casually. It's great to succeed, but it's okay to fail. After all, even in the game, the identification of the enemy is a very expensive thing, and now the Oda family's contribution to the imperial court is not very high.

Well, Oda Yoshinobu is completely biased, for the imperial court, money is important, but the official position is the first thing they have to consider. Looking at the several enemies in history, the promoters were basically the lords of the government and the opposition, and at that time, the court was also poor to death.

"Lord Quanzhong, in fact, there is another request below." Oda Yoshinobu said respectfully.

"Oh? Oda-sama said that it didn't matter, as long as I could do it, I would definitely help. Yamako continued to hear this, and his eyes once again shone brightly.

Seeing Yamashina Yanji's somewhat excited appearance, Oda Yoshi's confidence was amused for a while, but at the same time, he was a little pitiful for the other party. A dignified nobleman is now as excited as a businessman when he hears that money can come. But this thought only went around in Oda Yoshinobu's mind and disappeared, after all, it had nothing to do with him, didn't it? And it is precisely because of this that Oda Yoshinobu has the opportunity to get what he wants, if the imperial court is not short of money, Oda Yoshinobu estimates that he will not be able to enter any of the ministers' mansions at all.

"Actually...... Oda Yoshinobu gathered his thoughts and said slowly his request.

"Trade with Mingguo??" When Yamako heard this, he immediately frowned. He is the minister of the imperial court, and he is also in charge of money, so it is naturally impossible not to be unclear about this kind of thing that comes in super fast. But because he knew it was clear, he knew how fantastical this matter was.

"Oda-sama, your request is even more unrealistic than the designation of the Saito family as an enemy of the DPRK just now. Trade with the Ming State was no longer possible after the Ming State issued a maritime ban. Only the Kan Zhu Yin, which had the methods of the Ming Imperial Court, could be carried out in the form of tribute, and now, the Ouchi family, the original holder of the Kan Zhu Yin, has been destroyed by the Maori family, and it is believed that the things should be in the hands of the Maori family. Yamashina said with a wry smile, his meaning was obvious, Oda Yoshinobu had found the wrong person in this matter.

"I know that." Oda Yoshinobu replied, and then said the method that he and Lilu had already figured out before.

"The appointment of tributary ministers of the imperial court?" Yamashina looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a frown, obviously a little puzzled by this unfamiliar term.

"Yes, Lord Quanzhong Nayan also knows about the investigation of the Zhu Yin, so Zaixia's request is just to hope that the imperial court can specially appoint the Oda family as a tributary minister, so as to prove that the family is indeed going to the Ming State to pay tribute on behalf of the country." Yoshinobu Oda explained.

"Hmm......" Yamako continued to hear this, bowing his head and thinking. As for what kind of tributary is called, it doesn't matter what Yamashina says. After all, the influence of the Ming State or Huaxia in Japan, especially for these ministers, is too great, not to mention that the Japanese imperial court has no capital to change the nature of tribute.

And what he thinks about is the feasibility of this matter. After thinking about it for a long time, Yamashina said slowly, "Oda-sama, I won't tell you anything, this matter can indeed be done. But the ugly words are also said first, over the years, because of the Ming sea ban and the war in the country, there have been many so-called Japanese robbers in the coastal area of the Ming Dynasty burning, killing and looting. This makes Ming Guo have a very bad impression of his country, so even if you get an appointment from your country, I'm afraid it will be difficult to trade with Ming Guo. ”

Yamashina's expression was very serious, because he didn't want to fool Oda Yoshinobu. Unlike those ministers who usually stay in Kyoto and spend their days drinking, he has always walked among the daimyo, but he knows very well how rich the Oda family is, and how bright the future of the Oda family is.

After all, Imagawa Yoshimoto died in battle, and Saito Yoshiryu also died of illness, and in this case, if Yamashina Yanji was not optimistic about the Oda family, he would have been in vain for so many years.

"Don't worry, I understand this matter, I just want to give it a try." Yoshinobu Oda nodded and said. He really didn't have much hope, because he knew more about the Ming Kingdom's hatred of the Japanese Kou than Yamashina Yanji. But you have to try everything, don't you? What if it happens?

Hearing this, Yamashina Yanji nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then I will help Oda-sama convey the demands of the Oda family, but ......" As he spoke, Yamashina Yanji suddenly fell silent.

However, apparently, Oda Yoshinobu is still very knowledgeable, and immediately said, "Please rest assured, Lord Quanzhong Nayan, after the matter is completed, the Oda family is willing to offer 500 yuan." In addition, there is also 100 yuan to invite the right to drink tea. ”

It doesn't seem to be a lot of money, after all, when Oda Nobunaga came to Kyoto before, it was all thousands of dollars spent, but after all, the thing Oda Yoshinobu asked for was completely different from what he asked for in the past. The official position or something, it can still be used in the country, but this letter of appointment, except when you see the Ming court, it can be used at all. And even if you see the Ming court, it may not be of any use.

Of course, no matter whether this kind of thing succeeds or fails, it has no impact on the imperial court, which is also the reason for the cheap price. Well, it doesn't seem right to say this, because if it really succeeds, then there is no doubt that the imperial court will have one more way to make money in the future.

Therefore, Yamashina Yanji did not show a too little expression, but nodded to express satisfaction. Subsequently, after the two chatted for a while, Oda Yoshinobu took his leave.

Back at the dormitory, Lilu and Li Huamei were already waiting in the room, "There is no way to make the enemy, and the qualifications of this family are not enough to identify the enemy, but the authorization to trade with the Ming Kingdom has been negotiated." Oda Yoshinobu said directly after seeing the two women.

"Well, but even with the authorization of the imperial court, we don't have enough ships to go to the Ming Kingdom now." Lilu nodded and said.

"We can travel from Korea to Mingguo, which is a bit farther than going directly to Mingguo, but it is undoubtedly easier, and we can trade some horses with those nomads." Li Huamei said when she heard this.

"Oh? War horses? When Oda Yoshinobu heard Li Huamei's words, his eyes suddenly lit up. Cavalry, that's definitely one of the favorite classes of anyone who loves ancient warfare. A long time ago, Oda Yoshinobu also had plans to form cavalry. It's a pity that after learning the price of the war horse, he completely abandoned this idea. Because with his income, it may take more than ten years to form a cavalry team of 100 people. And you may not be able to buy a horse yet, after all, horses are the most important strategic material for any daimyo.

"Hmm...... This can be considered, but it needs to be investigated for specific information before taking action. Hearing this, Lilu nodded and said.

The next afternoon, Oda Yoshinobu took a member of the Shinigami to Yamashina Kentsugu's palace again. As soon as I arrived at the place, I saw that Yamashina Yanji was already waiting at the door.

"Oda-sama, you're finally here, I've been waiting for a long time!" Yamako Yanji said with some resentment.

Anyway, early this morning, he went directly to the imperial palace where the emperor lived to report the incident. Sure enough, as he expected, after hearing that he didn't have to do anything on his side, and only needed to write a random letter of appointment to get 800 yuan, the emperor immediately agreed to the matter.

No way, who made the court poor? Moreover, compared to rewarding official positions, this letter of appointment undoubtedly had no impact on the imperial court. Ha? What if the Oda family angered the Ming court when they paid tribute? Well, in the eyes of the emperor, what does this matter to him? He said without knowing it.

Therefore, Yamashina Kentsugu soon returned to his imperial palace with the appointment letter written by the emperor himself and waited for Oda Yoshinobu, but the result was a long time to wait.

"Haha~ I'm really sorry, I didn't expect Lord Quan Nayan to ...... so quickly" Oda Yoshinobu smiled a little embarrassedly, and then didn't say much, and just after entering the palace and sitting down, he asked the Reaper to hand over the two money bags.

Seeing the golden gold in the bag, Yamashina Yanji's original grievance was instantly thrown into the Pacific Ocean. I saw that he happily put away his share, and then took out the appointment letter from his bosom and handed it to Oda Yoshinobu.

Oda Yoshinobu took it and unfolded it, glanced at it casually for a few moments, and then took it into his arms, and a satisfied expression suddenly appeared on his face. Although I don't know how effective this appointment is, and Oda Yoshinobu may not be able to test it in a few years, at least, the content of this appointment letter is quite sincere, at least the identity of this tributary envoy is Zheng Sanpin, although it is only used in the Ming Kingdom......

After solving the problem, Oda Yoshinobu and Yamashina Yanji chatted again, and Oda Yoshinobu, who was in a good mood, also invited Yamashina Yanji to go to Owari to sit down. In this regard, Yamashina Yanji naturally said very kindly, he would definitely disturb when he had time.

At the same time, in the midst of Oda Yoshinobu's various boasts, Yamashina Yanji learned more clearly about the Oda family and Oda Yoshinobu's financial resources. This made Yamashina Yanji, who worries about money every day, very, very tempted, and looked at Oda Yoshinobu's eyes, as if he wanted to eat people.

Seeing Yamashina Yanji's eyes, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly shuddered, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something that he shouldn't have said. But fortunately, Yamashina Yan also understood the problems between the imperial court and the samurai, and he did not ask Oda Yoshinobu to donate money very bluntly. However, Oda Yoshinobu still couldn't stand Yamashina Yanji's naked eyes, so after two more sentences, he couldn't help but leave.

"Oda-sama, please stay." Yamashina Yanji saw that Oda Yoshinobu was about to leave, and hurriedly said.

"What's the matter with Lord Nayan in the middle of no power?" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Yamashina helplessly and asked.

Asked by Oda Yoshinobu like this, Yamashina Yanji was stunned for a moment, he really didn't think about how to keep Oda Yoshinobu, but instinctively wanted to keep this big money bag. However, Yamashina is worthy of being the master of raising funds everywhere every day, and he soon had an idea.

"I take the liberty of asking, I wonder if Oda-sama has already married a wife? I have a few friends' daughters who are in their prime~ I like first-class samurai like Oda-sama the most. Yamashina said softly, revealing a smile that all men understand.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu was stunned for a moment, he couldn't have imagined that Yamashina Yanji would plan to use this method to get his money. But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the easiest way, after all, if you want to marry the daughter of the princess, how can you also give a dowry that matches the identity of the other party, right?

Especially although Oda Yoshinobu now has an official position, it is not high, so this dowry will be more, and maybe he will have to donate money to be promoted. Thinking of this, Oda Yoshinobu hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I'm already a member of the Oda family. ”

Hearing this, Yamashina Yanji could only sigh and dispel this idea, although he originally only planned to let Oda Yoshinobu marry the adopted daughter of the minister, but after all, the identity was there, and it was impossible to become a concubine.

After saying goodbye to Yamashina, Oda Yoshinobu went back and talked to Lilu and his daughter about what happened today.

"The daughter of the minister, how good it is to marry back, that kind of identity, but you can't ask for it~" Li Huamei said in a strange voice.

"Tsk, why is it so sour? Hee-hee~ Jealous? Oda Yoshinobu asked with a smile as he pounced on Li Huamei.

"Humph! If you want to be jealous, you don't have to do anything else every day. Li Huamei easily dodged Oda Yoshinobu's flutter, and after giving him a blank look, she pulled Lilu, who was snickering, and planned to leave directly. But how could Oda Yoshinobu let the duck in his hand fly? A dodge stopped at the door.

"Hehe, you still want to run?" Oda Yoshinobu smiled, hugged Li Huamei in his arms, and attacked with a big mouth unceremoniously like that delicate red lip.

"Hmm...... Lilu ...... Hmm...... Sister ......" Li Huamei struggled to say something, but unfortunately under the powerful offensive of Oda Yoshinobu, she was soon lost in that gentle trap and could not extricate herself.

Lilu stood to the side stupidly, watching Oda Yoshinobu and Li Huamei kiss without others, and wanted to pull out their legs and leave, but their bodies didn't obey the call. I wanted not to turn my head, but my eyes seemed to be frozen. It wasn't until Li Huamei's clothes gradually fell off that Lilu screamed and ran out shyly.

"Satisfied now, right?!" Li Huamei turned white and glanced at Oda Yoshinobu with a coquettish look.

"Hehe~ Of course...... Not yet! Oda Yoshinobu smirked, and then continued to launch a more fierce offensive against Li Huamei. (To be continued.) )
