By forming an alliance with the Sazhi family, the southern side of the territory was temporarily safeguarded, avoiding the sinister situation of the Luo family facing enemies on all sides, which temporarily relieved the anxiety of the retainers. And when the news of the imminent arrival of the Bojia envoy reached the Luo family, all the retainers were boiling, and everyone's anxiety was gone. It is a great honor that the first Haoqiang of East Songpu took the initiative to send a messenger to Luo's house, and with the support of the Bojia family, the little Huzi family is not so terrible. Everyone was once again full of hope for their family's martial arts.

Looking at the retainers who were talking about it below, Zhengliang wondered, as for being so happy, sooner or later the Luo family would become hundreds of times stronger than the Bojia family. But no matter how Zhengliang looked at this matter, the retainers of the Luo family were already in excitement.

"Ahem", Masahiro coughed lightly a few times, signaling the retainers below to calm down, and then said, "Everyone knows the news, according to the information sent back by Yinuo, those clowns who were originally eye-to-eye with the Huzi family have quieted down, and seem to be waiting for Boka's next move." What do you think about this? ”

"Your Highness, it's a good thing, this high-profile action by the envoys of the Bojia family has fiercely deterred those guys. Once we have the support of the Hasaka family, the security situation of the family will be much better," Togo Heiji said first. The attitude has changed 180 degrees from the previous attitude towards the Sashi family, and it is said that Togo Heiji was harassed by the Sashi family when he was exiled to Higashimatsuura.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid there is fraud, the Huzi family is the best example, and His Majesty thinks it's better to be cautious", Onishi Kuniji obviously had lingering fears about the last attack. If he hadn't arrived in time at that time, I am afraid that the most Empress Zhengliang would have been killed, and the Luo family, which had just stepped on the right track, would be in crisis.

"It's all about profit. "Of course, with the current situation of the family, it is also an expedient measure to befriend the Hakata, which can not only deter the powerful people around them who have different ideas, but also to obtain some assistance from the Hakata." ”

After hearing this, the rest of the retainers around all bowed their heads thoughtfully.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Chongzhong is right, with the current situation of the family, it is necessary to make friends with the Bojia family. Now let's discuss how to greet each other's envoys," Masashi decided.

As a result, in the meeting hall of the Luo family, there were bursts of discussion about how to welcome the envoys of the Bojia family.

On July 11, the ninth year of Astronomy, the heavy rain that had been falling for several days finally stopped, and today ushered in a sunny day. In a military tent in the camp of Dematsu Lake, Masarashi personally received the envoys from the Hakata family. The other party walked in the mountain road for several days with several truckloads of supplies, and finally arrived at the territory of the Luo family.

"Hahaha, His Royal Highness Masayoshi really deserves to be the queen of Genji", after Hidaka Soyoshi and Masayoshi met, they talked quite speculatively, and that day Takatsuyoshi asked about the rumors about Masara fighting for more than a dozen heads, Masara also briefly recounted it without modesty, and Hidaka Soyoshi immediately praised after hearing it.

"Before I arrived, Master Genji, who had visited Puen Temple, was full of praise for your talent, and when I saw it today, as the master said, you really deserve the title of 'Higashi Matsuura Eagle'," Hidaka continued.

"The adult has won the award, it's really ashamed to say that he was forced to accept the mediation of the Huzi family and give up the hard-earned territory, which is really unwilling", Zhengliang took the opportunity to vent his bitterness.

"Hmph, it is indeed extremely hateful for Huzi Otomo to secretly frame his allies despite the call of his family, please rest assured that His Royal Highness Masashi, the head of this family will definitely uphold justice for the Luo family", Hidako Zong denounced with righteous indignation. Looking at the other party's true expression, it was really unexpected, after the Bota family fell into civil strife in the future, it was the person in front of him who set up the heir of Hatamori, and then monopolized Iki Island. …,

"Then the family is counting on Lord Bodo to administer justice," Masarashi immediately said sincerely. Although in fact, the territory that was forcibly "cut out" is still in the hands of the Luo family, but it can have the righteousness promised by Bojia, even if the actual situation is discovered in the future, it can be fearless.

"Hehe, His Highness Zhengliang. On the orders of the head of the family, I brought 400 koku of food and 50 swords and spears each, hoping that it would help the Luo family," Hidaka continued. 50 swords and spears are all ordinary goods, in the fat front, the general sword is only a few yuan, the medium to the sword is a few times, the fine one even more than 10 times, and those so-called famous swords are even more priceless.

"Please convey your family's gratitude to Lord Hatado when you go back. In the future, as long as the Bojia family has instructions, the Luo family will definitely cooperate", Zhengliang immediately thanked.

"Okay", seeing that Zhengliang would do this, Hidaka Zongyi was very happy, "Now the family hopes that the Luo family and the Zuozhi family will make friends, and jointly suppress the arrogance of the Huzi family, I don't know if the Luo family can do it?" ”

"Your Excellency should know that the Dao family has formed an alliance with the Sashi family, right? Your lord's instructions are exactly what the family intended," Masato said immediately.

"Very good", Hidaka Soyoshi clapped his hands, then turned on a straight face, and continued, "In a few months, the family will send troops to Hirado Matsuura, and at that time, I will also ask the Luo family to send troops to help the family, and the family will definitely not be stingy with support materials." ”

"The Luo family is willing to act as a vanguard and pull out rocks for the siege of Bojia", Zhengliang agreed. Anyway, it will be a few months later, let's talk about it then, the Luo family will definitely not become cannon fodder for others.

"Then I will look forward to seeing His Highness's heroic demeanor," Hidaka said with anticipation.

"I won't disappoint Hidaka-sama!" , Zhengliang solemnly promised. Zhengliang will definitely agree to such a request, and at the same time, Zhengliang promises that he will definitely regret it when the time comes.

"Oh. By the way, there is one thing I wonder if His Royal Highness Lu Dao Zhengliang knows Lu Dao? After talking about business, Hidaka Zongyi said casually, "Does the Luo family have a large amount of copper?" If so, would you consider trading with you? Recently, the family is in urgent need of a certain amount of copper. ”

Zhengliang didn't expect the other party to ask this question at all, and couldn't help but be stunned. Damn, who the hell leaked the news? Unexpectedly, Bojia Zhilu told the news that there were copper mines in the territory? No, wait, it seems that the other party is just asking if there is any copper? Depending on the situation, the other party does not know the situation in the territory of the Dao.

"Hehe, His Royal Highness Masashi, this news was passed on to the family by the Huzi family, and the area where the Luo family is located originally had a small Haoqiang of the Tahara family, according to the Huzi family, this little Haoqiang has a lot of copper materials", seeing Masashi's expression, Hidaka Zongyi said with a smile. It seems to be saying between the words, now that you have annexed people, then those copper materials must have been swallowed by you, don't tell me that you don't know the way.

Yoko's house? I see! It seems that the other party has sinister intentions. Sooner or later, this account will have to be settled. Zhengliang gritted his teeth with hatred.

"Don't hide it, my family did seize tens of thousands of catties of copper, it is said that the Tahara family looted it back from the merchant ships in Fukushima, and the family is also having a headache about what to do with these copper materials? If Lord Boduo needs it, the family is willing to sell it to the Bo family at the market price", Zhengliang bit the girl and said simply, as for whether the other party believes it or not, it is not something that Zhengliang can control, but the Luo family will definitely not do loss-making business.

"Tens of thousands of catties? Very well, let's trade at the market price", after hearing Masayoshi's words, Hidaka Soyoshi said a little eagerly.

So eager? What exactly is Bodo about? Is it the exploration trade? No, the current Kanhe trade is controlled by the Ouchi family, and there is no such thing as a small Hachika family. Forget it, don't think about it for the time being, let's make up the amount that the other party wants, according to the output of the copper mine in the past few months, plus the original seizure, the number is just enough, and the iron and copper materials in Dongsongpu are valuable commodities, and they will definitely be able to sell at a good price. …,

After some bargaining, the Luo family sold about 10,000 catties of copper, and Boduo paid 5,000 stone grains, 300 swords, 150 spears, a customs ship and two small mornings. Grain and weapons will be delivered directly to the Luo family through the territory of the Sachi family, while the ships will be left in Karatsu Bay for the time being. Masara didn't plan to let the Hakata family know that the Luo family had a navy, so he was ready to drive these back to Itaya Bay in the name of going to Hakata Port, of course, for the sake of safety, Masara left the Poka family tokens, and I believe that as long as these tokens are hung on the bow of the ship, no one will dare to fight these ships casually.

With the addition of these materials, the Luo family's current warehouse has 558 unallocated swords and 658 spears, and the navy has also added two customs ships and eighteen Xiaozao, which can be regarded as a small naval force. In terms of food, coupled with this harvest, there are already 1,600 stone of civilian grain reserves and 3,900 stone of military reserves, but these still seem to be a bit unsafe, with the current stone height of 3,300 stone in the territory, the income of the territory after tax is about 2,000 stone, and most of the people are not well fed, so it is necessary to use these taxes to vigorously carry out paid forced labor, disguised relief of the people, and ensure the stability of the territory. At the same time, all the standing food is net income, and the daily consumption of the standing food and the maintenance of weapons are the responsibility of the territory, which will inevitably consume a large part of the food reserves. So in general, if the territory can survive the winter smoothly this year, a grain reserve of about 20,000 stone is necessary.

After negotiating everything, Hidaka Soyoshi and his men left in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry to go back and report the harvest to the head of the family. And Zhengliang also led the retainers to devote themselves to the construction of the territory again.
