"Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road...... I looked at the bustling and noisy whale houses and cooking pavilions on both sides, and casually chanted this famous poem made by the Du Gong Department for all the unjust. Don't get me wrong! I just didn't think about it unintentionally, and I didn't feel it too much. In fact, as a social stage with underdeveloped productive forces, once a major social fluctuation occurs, even if all the wine and meat in Zhumen are sent out, there will still be frozen bones on the road! Since the human race left primitive society, different classes have always existed where there are people! In the case that material production cannot meet the needs of the whole society, it is also an inevitable choice to give priority to the supply of the upper strata of the "pyramid".

After receiving the letter at noon, I simply ate a bite to eat and took a nap. Around five o'clock, I changed into a set of casual clothes and left Honnoji Temple with only Shima Katsutoshi. After a few hours of slipping around to see that the time was almost up, I started walking towards the agreed place. Right now, I'm walking down the street of Kawaramachi, and I'm not far in front of me.

You don't know what this place is? This is a man's favorite, Kyoto's largest red-light district! At this time, there were very few foreigners in Japan, and most of them were concentrated in a few large ports along the coast, and the general people were reluctant to come into contact with these blonde and blue-eyed "demons", so diseases such as flower willows that spread from the jungles of South America did not appear in Japan. Ahem, ahem, ......! I don't say that I have any special ideas, just to introduce the situation. In addition, there is a special reason why this place leads the Fengyue places in other cities, that is, according to legend, when the world was difficult, there were some famous ladies and noblewomen from prominent backgrounds, and even court concubines came here to "make cameos", and even now they can occasionally find a trace!

"Lord...... Wouldn't we be in this kind of place? At this time, Shima Katsu Meng has been blushing by the demon woman who has been pestering from time to time.

"Just follow along! There is no ghost in my heart, what is there to fear? "I made fun of him." This is it! "At this time, we came to a gorgeous three-story building, and on the lintel on the second floor there was a big sign "Juyun Pavilion".

"You're here!" At noon, the servant who delivered the letter to me hurried out and blasted away the old bustard who had come up to pull the business. "The contemptible master has been waiting for a long time!" I followed him to a private room on the top floor, where he opened the door for me. "Inside, please!"

"Your body has been fine lately!" As soon as I entered, I greeted one of the people in the room. Shimakatsu stood silently by the door, most of the people here I know.

"It's hard for you to still remember my old bones!" The person who answered my greeting was Muntada Yoshida, the owner of Kakukura. "I'll introduce you first...... he said, gesturing to the others. Boss Imai, Boss Tsuda, Boss Masuda, you've known these guys for a long time! ”

Imai Munehisa, Tsuda Munekazu and Masuda Nagamori bowed to me as well, and I nodded to them. Of the few people here, my relationship with Masuda Nagamori is still a secret, and apart from my retainers, only the close Tsuda Muneyo knows about it.

"This one is from Sakai Town, too!" Yoshida Zongzhong pointed to a middle-aged man with a sallow face and said, "He is the leader of the Konishi Party, a family of medicinal herbs, and the boss of Konishi Ryuzo!" ”

"Long admiration!" I raised my hand to the little Nishironzo who had bowed to the ground. It turns out that he is the adoptive father of Konishi Yukicho, and it seems that we will have to fight often in the future. "You're dealing in medicinal herbs? There are no eyes in the army, and you will have to rely on it more in the future! ”

"Where! Where! He shook his hand repeatedly. I've been in business for a long time, but I'm really timid and useless! It's not as young as them......" he pointed to Masuda Nagamori. "Like them, the profit of a business is more than my ten years!"

"And these two!" Yoshida Muntaka pointed to a white-bearded old man and said, "This is Hasegawa Munehito, a big grain merchant in Kyoto, who has almost monopolized almost all the bulk grain business in!" "In the end, he pulled over a fat man who was slightly smaller than Imai Munehisa." This is Sueyoshi Sunshiro, who is from Settsu Ishiyama and is very famous in the shipping industry! ”

"It's really a gathering of celebrities!" When I took my seat, I looked at the people at this table, and I could say that the most important oligarchs of the chaebol were concentrated here. I just don't know what they asked me to do, and it seems that Masuda Nagamori didn't have time to send me a letter because of the tight schedule.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and I don't want to be so powerful! I can't even think of ......."

"I can't even imagine that His Highness Oda will take control of Kyoto so quickly, right?" I interrupted Yoshida with a smile. "Boss Yoshida, we are old friends, so there's no need to be polite! Actually, to be honest, I didn't expect it to be so fast, and I arrived in Kyoto again less than a year after conquering Mino, so how many people could have predicted it? ”

"Yes! Old friends won't say kind words...... "Yoshida Muntaka is also a cheerful person. "It's because it's too fast, everyone is a little caught off guard, please come here to see if there is any remedy!"

"You have to tell me how to do it...... It's not for nothing! "I picked up a piece of yellow lion fish and put it in my mouth, and such a fresh fillet is a luxury in Kyoto, which is not near the sea." Now there is no one in who can fight against His Highness Oda, but he also has many difficulties! Many of the wealthy families who originally belonged to the Miyoshi and Hexagonal families are still waiting and seeing, and even those who have been submissive are not necessarily completely reliable. In this case, will not only not be able to provide a source of troops, but will occupy a large number of troops from Mino and Owari, and it is inevitable that they will be overstretched! In this case, are businessmen afraid that there is no opportunity to show themselves? ”

"Money?!" Several of them looked at each other.

"How much do you want?" Finally, Hasegawa Munehito asked cautiously.

"Hmm...... Let me think! "I'm doing the math for them." Sakai Town is famous, and if you don't have 100,000 runs, you're afraid that you won't be able to get by; Stone Mountain...... Fifty or sixty thousand should be fine; Everyone sees the situation in Kyoto, and it's all you need to do with 30,000 kan! ”

"It's not a lot of money, but it's ......," Sueyoshi Sunshiro whispered.

"It's not too little, isn't it?" I looked at him and smiled. "Actually, money doesn't have to be spent in vain!" My face was all gone. "The Oda family has never had the habit of running their own large industries, and now everything is complicated. After you hand over the money, you can give a few gifts, and at the same time you can ask for some rights to operate mines, forests, and sea trade! ”

"Will His Highness Oda agree?" Tsuda said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"There shouldn't be any problems!" I nodded, and said with confidence. "His Royal Highness Oda has always been tired of tedious things, and someone will take care of it for him and give him back the money, so he is naturally happy to be leisurely! Oh...... Mountains of gold and silver mines are not listed! ”

"Ha, ha, ha......" everyone laughed together.

"It couldn't be better! Lord Stars, we toast you! Imai Munehisa took the lead and raised the wine glass in his hand.

"What if...... If we spend some more money, will His Highness Nobunaga promise something else? After three rounds of drinking, Ronzo Konishi suddenly asked a strange question.

"More flowers! What money? How to spend? I asked.

"We trust you the most!" Ronzo Konishiro leaned forward. "If we make up another 100,000 kan, will His Highness Nobunaga appoint you as the commissioner of Kyoto, or even the guardian ......?"

"Dispel this thought!" I was so shocked that I almost bit my tongue. "If you do this, you will only attract his suspicion, isn't this giving me 'eye medicine'!"

"Yes, yes, the villain is reckless!" He was busy saying that he owed.

"It's nothing, you just don't know who he is......" I patiently analyzed the current situation for them......

****************************************************************

It was already the middle of the night when I came out of Kikuun-tei, and I walked to a secluded street with Shimakatsu. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the darkness and came to me like a ghost. "Lord, find out!" It turned out to be Kusunoki Mitsunari.

"Tell me about it!" I didn't stop.

"After you entered, three ninjas appeared, one was a person from the Shincho Palace, and he went back later; The other is Matsunaga's men, who have a secret point of contact in Kyoto; ......" he continued: "The last one was His Highness Tokugawa's man, who just glanced at it from a distance and left! ”

"Tokugawa? His people are also coming? "I was amazed." I don't know if he's interested in me or as a whole, but things are getting more and more interesting......"

Bear in winter: Yesterday the computer suddenly broke down, and the power lights of the host and monitor were on, but the screen was black, and no matter how the drum was beaten, it didn't light up! I thought I would have to wait until the store in Zhongguancun opened, but I didn't expect it to turn on at noon today, and the people who often use computers and are software and hardware "idiots" are really pitiful. Anyway, it is necessary to have a comprehensive inspection for a period of time, and if you know a more honest repair shop in Beijing, please let me know!
