29 Killing two birds with one stone
"No...... As you said before, in such a sensitive period, we should not easily make a move that misunderstands the Harumi Shrine, let alone let Ah Kuni tie us to the chariot of the Izumo Shrine so easily. ”
Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses and supported the proposal of the black long straight Lori Naoe Kane, which was correct, but had been rejected by Qianxin-chan.
However, he didn't wait for Kenshin Chan to speak, and then made a new suggestion:
"We can first ask the Haruma Shrine to send a kagura shrine maiden to preside over the ceremony of dispelling disasters and praying for blessings, so as to test the reaction of the Harumai Shrine.
If the Haruhaya Shrine is very concerned about the fact that the Izumo Shrine's Akuni came to Echigo, it will naturally agree to our request.
And we don't have to refuse Izumo Akuni's visit, since we have already made our attitude clear in advance and have taken the initiative to ask Harumai Shrine to send someone to monitor or stop some of Izumo Shrine's actions, it is natural to ask Akuni with a clear conscience to use Izumo Shrine's kagura dance to eliminate drought and locust plagues at the same time.
With the dual guarantee of Haruma Shrine and Izumo Shrine, not only will there be no disasters this year, but there will also be a bumper harvest. ”
Chu Xuan's suggestion of killing two birds with one stone made Hei Changzhi Lori Naoe Jian Xu's eyes light up, she pondered for a while, and then nodded in admiration and said:
"It's a great move...... In this way, the Uesugi family will be able to reap the maximum benefits between the two shrines, and the people will be able to reap a good harvest in a year that would otherwise be devastated.
Yes...... By the way, in this case, when you ask for 'help' from Harumaya Shrine, let Isehime pass on the news that Izumo Akoku's troupe is coming to Echigo...... Then the shrine maidens of the Harun shrine don't have to spend money to invite them, they only need to pay the amount of money to invite Ah Kuni to dance the Kagura dance......"
As a capable little "housekeeper wife", Kuro Nao Lori Naoe has already begun to calculate the relevant expenses and benefits, and her face inadvertently shows a confident smile like a housewife.
Although Kenshin-chan is not a so-called "righteous idiot" and will not reject the practice of achieving victory through "strategy", she still feels that the practice of inviting a shrine maiden to pray for disaster and blessing without giving money is really too "that".
But I don't know why, Qianxin-chan showed a rare cautious expression to the black long straight Lori Naoe Kane, and tried to greet her in a consultative tone:
"W-That...... Concurrent ......
The cost of the spring shrine ......"
"Huh?"
The black long straight Lori raised her head suddenly, her eyes twinkling with stars...... No, the light from the gold, she just glared at Kenshin-chan, and Kenshin-chan immediately swallowed what she wanted to say back into her stomach.
However, Naoe Kanesu, who knew very well what Kenshin-chan wanted to say, did not let go of her lord because of this, but began to preach with a serious expression:
"Lord Kenshin! Even if we have gold mountains in Echigo, we can't spend lavishly!
If you spend money like water, no matter how many gold mountains you have, they will soon be hollowed out!
Really...... You don't know how hard I work all day to save unwanted waste!
This month, we also held a grand welcome party for Chu Xuan, although the time was tight and we didn't prepare too many expensive ingredients, but in order not to lower the level of the banquet, we only spent more on the quantity of ingredients and the quality of the drinks, and the actual cost was a little more than the annual New Year's banquet!
However, in order to show the importance that our Uesugi family attaches to the people favored by the gods, and to boost the morale of the entire Echigo class, I gritted my teeth and pulled out a large part of the reserve ......"
Unconsciously, Kenshin-chan, Ayago Gozen, the mixed-race female ninja Haru, and the glamorous female version of Keiji Maeda all became in a sitting position, all of them shrunk their heads, and honestly sat in front of the black long straight Lori Naoe Kanesu, who had his hands on his hips, listening to the housewife's words.
Maybe this is the proof of the unity and harmony of the Uesugi family, but why is Chu Xuan obviously just a newcomer, but he still has to kneel in front of Hei Changzhi Lori to accept how hard it is to be hard, simple, diligent and thrifty, and continue to be gentle, so you have to be obedient and obedient to education?
Well...... There is no way, in the Uesugi family, Naoe Kanesugu is one of the few important people who cannot be offended, because in addition to her, most of the retainers of the Uesugi family are some simple-minded and well-developed guys.
If those people are allowed to fight on horseback, they will definitely be more enthusiastic than one another, but if it is the internal and foreign affairs work of allocating money and grain, counting taxes, arranging farming, and negotiating transactions, in addition to this extremely smart black long straight Lori, the only one who can be competent is the giant ~ breasts mature woman Usami who is always lazy and pretending to sleep.
Even if they are only proficient in one aspect of internal affairs, there are only three or two kittens in the Uesugi family, and Naoe can do their job, but they can't complete Naoe's work, which has to be said to be the fault of the previous head of the Uesugi family, Kenshin Chan and Ayamimae, who only know how to fight.
“…… Because of this, if you have to pay for the shrine maidens of the Harumaki Shrine to pray for good fortune, you will have to cancel the supply of alcohol for the next month.
Anyway, if you don't drink alcohol, you won't die, so if you're really hungry, go to the backyard of a restaurant in Naoetsu and smell it......"
"No, no——! The daughter of the northern country can skip eating, but she can't skip drinking! ”
"Will die! It's going to die! I'm going to die without wine......"
"Woooooooooo......oo If I had known this, I should have secretly hidden some of the wine during the banquet......"
The long-winded Kuro Naori Naoe Kanesu finally issued a notice of the ban on alcohol for the next month, so Kenshin-chan, Ayago Gozen, and the glamorous version of Maeda Keiji had a very interesting reaction.
"However, even if we remove the part of the cost of inviting the shrine maidens of the Harumi Shrine, because we also have to ask Izumo Akuni to do two additional Kagura dances to eliminate drought and locust plagues, the next month's drink supply will only be one-tenth of it?"
It seems that Kuronaga Naori Naoe Kanetsu also looks very embarrassed, but after all, the cost of disaster relief and blessing is related to the agricultural production of the entire Echigo, even if it is to be able to drink next year, it has to be spent now.
"Hmm...... In that case...... That's a tenth, a tenth. ”
As a kind girl with her own surname, Kenshin-chan, Ayagozen and Maeda Keiji gritted their teeth and restrained their ** despite the extremely painful expressions on their faces.
"In that case, it's settled."
The black long straight Lori Naoe nodded in a flat tone, but Chu Xuan clearly saw the pleasure of the conspiracy succeeding in her eyes. (To be continued.) )
