Chapter 697: What Do You Think?

Violent overage pseudo-Lori Oda Nobuko did not go to the Machiguchi Grand Entrance in the castle town of Azuchi Castle to welcome the arrival of the Sakai Port "Ten Leaders of Freedom and Self-Government" with Wang Tianxi.

No matter how she said it, her identity was also the head of the Oda family, even if the top ten merchants of Sakai Port were the controllers of the entire Sakai Port, her identity was still not one or two levels higher than them.

"Father-in-law, gentlemen, welcome to Azuchi Castle."

Wang Tianxie took Lanzi, who had been pregnant for more than five months and had a bulging belly, and stood at the entrance of Azuchicho Castle to greet Zhuang Zaemon and others with a smile.

"Father is well." Lanzi saw her father, Shozaemon, and said as she prepared to bow down.

Interestingly, Zhuang Zaemon, who is a father, obviously does not have the usual patriarchy in the troubled times of the Warring States Period, and when he saw that Lanzi was about to bend down, he hurriedly helped the other party up.

However, this is also normal, without his arrogance since childhood, I am afraid that Lanzi would not have written and directed himself many times in a row, and Wang Tianxie would carry out all kinds of cheating activities.

However, the female control attribute of Zhuang Saemon is not ordinarily high.

Although he knew that every time he would be secretly planned by his baby daughter, he laughed it off again and again, as long as he didn't touch the fundamental principle, he would let himself be pitted by Lanzi.

Only this time, Shoezaemon had to be tough.

How could he, who had reached the status of "Ten Persons of Freedom and Self-Government" in Sakai Port in business and business, fail to see the contradictions and interests between the Oda family and Sakai Port.

Not only Sshozaemon, but also all the super businessmen who can become one of the "Ten Leaders of Freedom and Self-Government" in Sakai Port, there is no one who can't see this.

That's why everyone came to Azuchi Castle together.

The next program is naturally with Wang Tianxie taking a group of Sakai Port "Ten Free Self-Government Dignitaries" to visit the city of Joshita. As for Lanzi, who has a big belly, she returns to the Honmaru castle tower in an ox cart.

As the new year is approaching, the streets of Joshitachi are lined with red lanterns that represent festivity. Countless little Lori and little Zhengtai are playing on the street, and the market is also very lively.

"Oh. Son-in-law, this city is not simple! Saemon followed behind Wang Tianxie and looked left and right on the main street of Zaishi, and said with a face full of surprise.

The saying "the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway" is very reasonable.

To be one of the "Ten Leaders of Freedom and Self-Government" in Sakai Port, how could Shozaemon's business sense be poor, and you can see at a glance that Azuchijo Castle is different.

Behind the two were the other nine Sakai Port super merchants. He also nodded in support of Shozaemon's words.

Azuchijo Castle was only two years after its construction, but thanks to the various policies of the Oda family and the careful urban planning of Wang Tianxi, the prosperity of the castle town is not weaker than that of Sakai Port, which has been developed for more than 100 years.

Naturally, the luncheon will be held at the "Onhime Hot Pot Izakaya".

Mori Hidesashi and Amano Jun, who just left for Aki Province a while ago, are also higher in status than the super businessmen who are the "Ten Men of Freedom and Self-Government" in Sakai Port.

But after all, these two people are representing the Maori family to express their surrender, so it is naturally impossible for Wang Tianxie to treat them with the highest standards.

On the other hand, if the next negotiations with the Sakai Port "Ten Men of Freedom and Self-Government" go smoothly, the prestige, strength, and economy of the Oda family will be multiplied.

Rather than playing back and forth at the negotiation table, Wang Tianxie prefers to sit around the copper hot pot of the "Ghost Ji Hot Pot Izakaya".

Li Huamei, the big cat sister of the iceberg, has been defeated by the copper hot pot many times. And called it "the process of absolutely unpleasant copper hot pot negotiations".

Of course, this kind of negotiation is the first time in their lives that they have encountered such a negotiation for the "Ten Persons of Freedom and Self-Government" in Sakai Port.

"Father-in-law, come, try this piece of black hair Wagyu beef slices. This is a fine black black beef's tender meat with a strip on the inside of the vertebrae, and the taste is absolutely superb. Wang Tianxie smiled and shook a small loin for Zhuang Zaemon and handed it to Zhuang Zaemon.

The flattered Zhuang Zaemon could be said to be so smiling that he couldn't see his teeth, and hurriedly and happily took the meat strip handed over by Wang Tianxie's son-in-law. Shog it into your mouth.

Although Wang Tianxi is his son-in-law, he is also one of the top leaders of the Oda family. The meat he brought over made Shozaemon feel very dignified.

However, Wang Tianxie's next sentence almost didn't make Zhuang Zuoemon spurt a mouthful of blood ten kilometers away.

"My father-in-law, Sakai Port will be merged into my Oda family from next year, and I will enjoy special preferential treatment under the management of my Oda family. What do you think? ”

After Wang Tianxie finished speaking, the entire chamber suddenly became silent, except for the copper hot pot that was still steaming to show his existence, the rest of the people present all fell silent.

In particular, the top ten businessmen of Sakai Port, who are the "Ten Persons of Freedom and Self-Government" in Sakai Port, became stunned one by one. He looked at Wang Tianxie with a surprised face.

As Wang Tianxie's father-in-law, Zhuang Zaemon's face turned white as soon as he brushed the ground.

He clearly remembered that he had warned Wang Tianxie in the letter, don't open your mouth, how could this guy make such an excessive request.

"Hehe, gentlemen, there was a period of time called the Liao Dynasty in the Ming Kingdom across the sea. In the parlance of my hometown, the people who ruled at that time were called Khitans. Wang Tianxie didn't seem to see the panic on the faces of everyone present, so he picked up a piece of beef strips and put it in the copper hot pot and shook it.

It's just that he doesn't know that everyone here only thinks that they are the beef strips now, and the Oda family is the gluttonous mouth.

"According to the history books of my hometown, the Khitan people once implemented the 'one country, two systems' system, headed by the generalissimo's palace of soldiers and horses of the royal family, and there were kings in the north and kings in the south." Wang Tianxie continued.

His voice was not very loud, but in this chamber where only the soup in the copper hot pot was gurgling, it was particularly deafening.

"The king of the North Courtyard continued to rule the Khitan and grassland peoples with the old Khitan method, and set up official positions in Yue, Yili Jin, and Yilibi." The chopsticks in Wang Tianxie's hand were holding Wagyu beef strips, and they were soaking together in the copper hot pot, and the scalps of the top ten businessmen were numb.

"The king of the Southern Courtyard adopted the law of the Ming Dynasty to rule the people of the Ming Kingdom, wearing soft-footed heads, narrow clothes and small sleeves Tang clothes, which are exactly the same as those of the Central Plains, and the official name is the same. Wang Tianxie stuffed the soaked beef strips into his mouth, chewed his throat twice, and grunted as he continued.

"My Oda family is willing to follow the example of the Khitan, and Sakai is still free and self-governing, but my Oda family must be stationed in the military array and enjoy all the taxes of Sakai." Wang Tianxie's expression was upright, and he looked at everyone present very seriously.

…… It's cold.

When Wang Tianxie finished saying this, everyone here looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't know what to say.

In the end, the remaining nine merchants put their eyes on Zhuang Zaemon's body with a "sigh".

Since the evil ghost of the Oda family is your son-in-law, how to push and shove will naturally be handed over to you to deal with, as for whether you handle it well or not, let's settle the account later...... Count by fate.

This is the unanimous thought in the minds of the other nine major businessmen at this time.

"Hey...... Son-in-law, your statement is very unkind. Sakai has always belonged to the Sangin Zone, and it belongs to us, the Sakai people. Shozaemon closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while, before finally speaking.

"What you just said is forcing us 200,000 Sakai to stand up against you, I'm afraid it's not very good?" Sao Saemon suddenly opened his eyes and glared at Wang Tian, who was sitting next to him.

His words caused the other nine Sakai Port "Ten Free Self-Government Leaders" present to nod their heads in support and breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

In their opinion, as long as Sshozaemon did not disagree and remained on their side of Sakai Port, everything would be settled.

"Your Highness the Heavenly Evil, if your Oda family insists on going your own way, you will not only face my 200,000 Sakai people, but don't forget the 10,000 iron cannons in our hands." One of the middle-aged uncles who looked quite obese in the "Ten Persons of Freedom and Self-Government" in Sakai Port pouted and said disdainfully.

"Oh, Mr. Tanaka meant...... Sakai Port will be the enemy of my Oda family? Wang Tianxie also smiled and curled his mouth.

The middle-aged uncle's name was Tanaka Yohei, and he ran a fish and seafood business in Sakai Port, and had no business dealings with the Oda family at all.

Because of this, this middle-aged uncle has no enthusiasm for the Oda family at all, and the smell of gunpowder coming out of his mouth is also the largest.

"The Oda family is now rich and powerful, and they have won battles everywhere, and it may not be difficult to end this troubled era. However, Sakai has always been a place of freedom and self-government, and if the Oda family wants to do business with Sakai, I naturally welcome Sakai. Tanaka and the guards looked up to the sky forty-five degrees, squinting at Wang Tianxie from the corner of their eyes, their faces full of disdain.

Not only was he already not even ready to look at Wang Tianxie. The words were even more categorical, and he was not prepared to compromise Wang Tianxie's proposal of one country, two systems, just now.

Wang Tianxie looked at Tanaka and the guards with some amusement, and the corners of his mouth curled even more.

As for Shozaemon and the other eight friends of the Sakai Port "Ten Men of Freedom and Self-Government", they showed a trace of worry.

None of you are good men and women.

It can even be said that the guy who can break out of the world in this troubled era of the Warring States Period, except for the strange paranoid righteousness and righteousness of Sister Uesugi, the dragon girl of Echigo Country, which one is not full of bad water.

But it is precisely because of this that how could they not know that in less than ten years, the Oda family has long since risen from a small Owari Province to a superpower today. (To be continued......)
