Chapter 241: Return
"Excuse me."
Ah Chun and Ah Chang walked in with their meals.
"Ah Chun, Ah Chang, come and meet Ashikaga-sama, from now on, he is the lord of our family to serve." Wuchuan Changjian commanded.
The two girls were stunned, two pairs of big eyes looked at their father with inquiry, and Wu Chuan Changjian smiled.
"Meet your lordship!"
The two obediently came to Long Tao and bowed.
Wu Chuan Changjian looked at Long Tao who was calmly worshiped by them on the side, his handsome face was a little majestic, and he had a calm bearing, as if everything was under control, showing his extraordinaryness.
"The lord doesn't look like a person who is only fourteen years old, maybe this is the peculiarity of the person chosen by God to achieve great things." Wu Chuan Changjian secretly speculated in his heart, and a magical scene that he would never forget again appeared in his mind.
At that time, Long Tao was holding the village rain and staring at the tree outside the house......
Command, 100.
Force, 115 (+15).
Government Affairs, 80 (+10).
Gambit, 90.
Charisma, 90 (+12).
For a moment, he thought that he was dazzled, how could a teenager's famous brand suddenly change so much?
Especially the force of 115! This is a value that can only be reached by those legendary "Sword Masters" who can run rampant in the world with one person and one sword, right?
Later, when he saw Long Tao swing out his sword qi, he realized that he was not dazzled...... Then this boy must be possessed by the gods.
It wasn't until Long Tao waved his hand at him later that Wu Chuan understood that the young man in front of him was obviously very clear about his own situation and could control it at will, and the value of the famous brand on weekdays was just a disguise that he deliberately did.
"His real strength is so strong, that is the strength of the dragon among men......"
After eating, everyone rested for one night, and the next day, Long Tao carefully visited the place where he made pottery under the leadership of Wuchuan Changjian, and listened to him explain the pottery making process, mixing clay, mud, making blanks, glazing, firing......
Later, Long Tao inspected the terrain around Hagi Village.
The village was surrounded by mountains on both sides of the southeast, and to the north was the woods where Long Tao and the others had walked, and only to the west was a slightly decent road where goods could be transported by car.
The mountain to the east is a bit higher, and from the top of the mountain you can see the sea in the distance.
"Is it a volcano on the island over there?" On the top of the mountain, Long Tao pointed to a small island in the sea and asked.
"Yes, there are occasional eruptions, and my clay has a small amount of volcanic soil mixed in it." Wuchuan Changjian took out a folded square note from his arms and handed it to Long Tao, "My lord, please accept this." ”
"What is this?" Long Tao took the note and opened it gently.
"This is the recipe for the type and proportion of soil used in making pottery."
"It's good to keep this for yourself."
"Nope." Wu Chuan shook his head and said: "The lord may not take it seriously, but please be sure to accept the heart of the Wu Chuan family, which means that the Wu Chuan family is willing to sacrifice all their loyalty to the lord!" ”
"Okay, I understand the intentions of the Wuchuan family." Long Tao looked at his solemn eyes, put the note into his arms, turned back to look in the direction of the village, and asked, "Changjian, I will leave 10,000 yuan, build a kiln for you, recruit people, can you make 300 pieces of pottery in two months?" ”
On the way to Akama Seki-no-cho, after Long Tao sold the tea and Akane along the way, his net worth had become more than 20,000.
When the Wuchuan family heard that Long Tao was willing to take out 10,000 yuan, they were all overjoyed, and at the same time, they were even more in awe of this young and mysterious lord.
Wu Chuan Changjian bowed and said: "If there are 10,000 times, I will definitely be able to complete the task!" ”
Long Tao instructed: "If you have manpower, just recruit from the village, don't make a noise about the workshop, control it within the village first, Hagi ware will definitely bring huge profits, if it spreads, it will definitely attract coveters, and after I arm the village, I will start to expand the scale of the workshop." ”
"Yes!" Wu Chuan respectfully received the order.
Ah Chun clapped his hands and said, "Did the lord name his father's pottery Hagiyaki?" That's a good name! ”
Wu Chuan asked, "Is the lord ready to leave?" ”
"I'll leave in a while, I'm going to take 100 Hagi-yaki pieces to the Gyeonggi area to sell them, and I'll be back in about two months."
"Please agree to the next request!" Wu Chuan suddenly pulled Kenzaburo to his knees.
"You want Saburo to follow me?"
"Yes, please allow Saburo to serve left and right!"
"San Lang, look up!"
Long Tao looked at his fiery anticipation and a hint of nervousness, "You are a good material, and you will definitely become the treasure sword of my Ashikaga Yoshiji in the future!" But for now, you have to stay here and learn pottery from your father. ”
"Why, my lord?" Kenzaburo looked puzzled.
"There is a lack of concentration and patience in your sword, I want you to learn the way of earth and fire of Lingzun." Long Tao turned to look at the island in the sea, "San Lang, look at the volcano over there...... As a samurai, it is easy to draw a sword in a fit of anger, but the difficult thing is how to control your murderous aura and only explode at the right time. ”
"Yes! Saburo must work hard! ”
One hundred pieces of Hagiyaki, loaded on three two-wheeled wooden carts, were pushed out of the village by Ruyoshi, Sunbei, and Kenichiro.
Arriving at the pier in Akama Seki-no-cho, Tatsutao hired a passenger ship, loaded Hagiyaki onto the ship, and Kenichiro pushed the cart back to Hagi Village, and the passenger ship set sail.
After returning to Sakai, as long as Hagiyaki is sold, Long Tao will no longer have to be a businessman, because he has become the behind-the-scenes boss of the production of this best-selling luxury product, and with the Takekawa family working for him, there will be a steady stream of money coming in in the future.
Because they were in a good mood, the three of them stood on the deck and enjoyed the scenery along the way.
The boat traveled for more than half a day, passing by a small island, and it can be seen in the distance that there is a vermilion lacquer gate standing on the island, which is roughly estimated to be more than ten meters high, very wide, as if rising from the sea, and the momentum is extraordinary.
The master of the ship also came to the deck, and bowed down before the gate, and said something in his mouth.
Long Tao waited for him to finish his worship and asked, "Boat family, what kind of place is that?" ”
"That's Itsukushima, I'm worshipping Itsukushima Shrine, that's the guardian saint of the sea!"
"It turns out that this is Itsukushima, and the scenery is beautiful!" Long Tao's heart was suddenly shocked.
Itsukushima, which would later become one of Japan's three most famous scenic spots, is home to ancient shrines and temples, the most famous of which is the Naitsukushima Shrine.
Long Tao was thinking about another thing at the moment, according to the original plot, there would be a naval battle near here about a year later, and Maori Yuan defeated Tao Qingxian of the Ouchi family here, known as the "Battle of Itsukushima", after this battle, the Ouchi family was completely defeated, and it was soon annexed by the surrounding daimyo.
The passenger ship sailed smoothly for two days, and at night the three of them rested in the cabin, and Ruyoshi was complaining about why there were no pirates to harass him and he couldn't practice his sword, when suddenly there was a whistle outside.
The sound was heard from all sides, and Long Tao came out of the cabin to see that eight speedboats had gathered around the passenger ship at some point, moving forward with it.
"Who is on the boat? Let's turn around, the waters in front have been blocked by our Murakami family! ”
A clear woman's cheer came from the speedboat on the right.
