Chapter 200: The Golden Gourd Horse Mark (II)
Although Chen Sheng didn't look at the text of this Beizhong Ju, in fact, the price of this weapon was fifty copper coins, which was definitely a high-quality and high-priced item. In Owari, only a veteran of Shibata Katsuya is qualified to afford it. Kinoshita Toyoshiro was just a servant who carried Oda Nobunaga's shoes and led the horses, and his salary was very meager. Even if he doesn't eat or drink for ten years, he can't afford such an expensive high-quality weapon.
Suddenly, Kinoshita Tojiro's hands trembled, his eyes widened to the maximum in disbelief, and he stammered, "You...... What do you say? Mr. Chen, do you really want to give this knife away...... Give it to me? No, it's not a joke, is it? ”
Chen Sheng said disapprerovingly: "What is a mere knife?" As long as you have money, you can buy it. Toyoshiro, you have to remember that wealth can be channeled. Money is everything. As long as you have money, not only can you have a knife, but there can also be many people who are willing to use a knife to cut off your head for you. So instead of bothering with practicing how to cut people, it is better to find a way to make money. Money is the number one thing. But there is no money to fight a war. Got it? Only peace can do business, and there is business to make more money. That way, you'll have a chance to live in the Golden House soon, haha. ”
These words, from the mouth of Chen Sheng, a martial idiot, seemed completely insincere. But in fact, he also has ulterior motives.
As we all know, after Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan, he sent troops to invade Korea. As a result, the Toyotomi regime collapsed and was finally replaced by Tokugawa Ieyasu. Needless to say, North Korea has been ravaged by war and suffered heavy losses. Even the Ming Dynasty, who won the war in Korea and successfully drove out the invading army, consumed most of the wealth that had been accumulated in the treasury for many years because of the large military expenditure, and the financial pressure suddenly became heavy. It can be said that the result of this war is simply a defeat for all three.
Therefore, Chen Sheng is trying to instill a point of view in Kinoshita Tojiro here: the power of money is greater than that of the sword. In this case, perhaps after Toyotomi Hideyoshi became the minister of Sekihaku and Taisei, it was possible that history would be changed and a war of aggression would not be waged again. Of course, as for the effectiveness of Zuihou, Chen Sheng is not very sure. In fact, if you really want to change history 100% and avoid war, the best way is to cut the current Kinoshita Toyoshiro with a knife, so naturally there will be no future Toyotomi Hideyoshi, let alone a war of aggression against Korea. But......
Today's Kinoshita Tojiro not only has no intention of being hostile to Chen Sheng at all, but also respects him and looks up to him completely. He is not at fault at the moment, and Chen Sheng naturally can't blatantly kill people because he might do something in the future. This kind of behavior, some people may feel that they don't care, and they will cut it casually. But for Chen Sheng, he still can't do this kind of thing.
Kinoshita Toyoshiro is still just a servant who carries shoes and leads horses for Oda Nobunaga, of course, it is impossible to imagine that he will have the opportunity to become the minister of the Taizheng in 30 years, and will be given the surname "Toyotomi" by the emperor, becoming the fifth most honorable surname after the four major surnames of Toei Jigen, Taira, Fujiwara, and Tachibana. At this stage, his biggest dream is nothing more than to be promoted to a full-fledged samurai by Oda Nobunaga as soon as possible, and then marry a beautiful wife.
Chen Sheng is a person from the Tang Kingdom. For the Japanese at that time, their longing for the Tang Kingdom was the same as their longing for the United States in the twentieth century, and it was many times stronger. Therefore, Kinoshita Toyoshiro subconsciously had an impulse to worship and admire Chen Sheng. And such a big man actually talked to himself with a pleasant face, and even gave himself such a valuable katana, Kinoshita Toyoshiro is naturally extremely grateful for this.
With trembling hands, he took this expensive gift from Chen Sheng. Drawing the knife out of the sheath and looking closely, I couldn't help but be overjoyed. Immediately turned over and threw himself on the ground to thank him, and said, "Thank you." Thank you Mr. Chan for your generous kindness. I will definitely make good use of Mr. Chen's gift, realize my dream as soon as possible, and never disappoint Mr. Chen's teachings. He kowtowed three times before he got back to his feet and carefully fastened the knife to his belt.
After thinking about it, Kinoshita Tojiro suddenly always felt that he was really a little uneasy in his heart to accept such a heavy gift from others for no reason. A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, so he bowed and said, "Mr. Chen, please wait a minute." I'll go and I'll come back. Without waiting for an answer, he reflexively ran out, but in the blink of an eye, he was gone. Although this kid doesn't know much martial arts, he is also agile and agile, no wonder Oda Nobunaga gave him the nickname "Monkey".
Moments later, Kinoshita Tojiro went and returned. He hid his hands behind his back, with a little hesitation, and said, "Mr. Chen, if you give me such a valuable weapon, I treat you as a friend, so naturally I should give you a gift back." But...... Ahem, as you know, I'm not a samurai yet, so I don't have much money. Had...... Had...... I've given this thing to you. Please don't dislike it. As he spoke, he took his hands out from behind his back and threw them forward. Suddenly, I saw the golden light, dazzling. It turned out that in his hand, he was actually holding a golden gourd.
Chen Sheng was stunned, and then wondered: "Golden gourd? How can you have so much gold? Instinctively reached for it. As soon as I got started, I suddenly realized it, and then I laughed even more. It turns out that this so-called golden gourd is just an ordinary gourd with a layer of gold paint on the outside. It is the kind of gold paint used to write Spring Festival couplets during the Spring Festival, which is not worth a few dollars.
Kinoshita Toyoshiro smiled embarrassedly, "This...... Don't be afraid of Mr. Chen's jokes. I am poor and afraid. So I want to make gold in my dreams. Gold can't be earned for the time being, so take some gold paint and paint the gourd used for drinking water into gold, which looks beautiful and eye-catching. I didn't dare to show it to others, I just hid it by myself. Looking at it every day when you go to bed should give yourself a drum. Don't hide it from Mr. Chen, you said, that ...... Originally, I had planned that if I had the opportunity to become a samurai in the future, and if I had the opportunity to lead an army to fight alone, then I would use this golden gourd as a horse mark. ”
Historically, the first time this golden gourd horse mark appeared was in the Battle of Inabayama Castle, where Oda Nobunaga captured Mino. At that time, Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro had been promoted to a full-fledged samurai and changed his name to Kinoshita Hideyoshi, and after events such as "One Night Castle in Sumamata" and "Three Visits", he became well-known in the Oda family. Obviously, even at that time, he was far from having enough money to use a gourd made of gold as a horse mark.
Therefore, for this team battle mission of "the name of the world", how to obtain Toyotomi Hideyoshi's golden gourd horse mark. Chen Sheng has always found it difficult to understand. Because since this thing doesn't exist at the moment, even if you have the ability to go through the sky, you can't find something that doesn't exist. Perhaps, this is also the main reason why the "Desert Eagle Regiment" and the "Second Mask Team" did not come to Kiyoshu Castle to find Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro, but went to Sunfu Castle to attack Imagawa Yoshimoto.
It wasn't until now that Chen Shengfang suddenly realized that the so-called golden gourd was not a gourd made of real gold, but just a piece of goods.
In any case, this thing is indeed the "famous thing of the world" required by the mission. Chen Sheng daxiao sighed and said, "Okay! Fujiyoshiro, I'll take this gourd. I wish you to get ahead and make enough money to forge a real gourd with real gold. ”
Kinoshita Toyoshiro giggled embarrassedly. Then he turned around and looked out at the sky, and said, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Ning should have gotten up." I'll go and tell him. By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll have the kitchen bring chazuke, so please wait. With that, he stood up and turned to go.
Chen Sheng smiled slightly, then grabbed the golden gourd, and used the skull-shaped God's Domain crest imprinted on his chest, which could only be seen by members of the Divine Domain, to scan this mission item. Immediately, several prompts automatically came to mind.
"Item Name: Golden Gourd Horse Mark.
Item Types: Medium Talisman.
Quality appraisal: bright gold lower grade.
Materials: gourd, cork, gold lacquer.
Description: Horse mark, also known as horse mark or signifier. It got its name from the fact that it was usually erected next to the war horses of the generals of the army. It was used in the military to identify friend and foe during the Warring States period of Japan. It was usually a flag, but some high-ranking samurai also preferred to use three-dimensional objects instead of flat flags as horse markings to attract the attention of both the enemy and the enemy. The golden gourd horse mark, that is, the first strange man in the Warring States period of Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's special horse mark.
Notes: In the history of Japan's Warring States period, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was known for his penchant for gold. After he unified Japan, he once built a tea house out of gold, once cast a thousand gold gourds out of gold, controlled the gold and silver mines of the whole country, and saved a huge amount of gold in his home city of Osaka, so as to suppress the princes of the whole country with overwhelming financial resources. Even after his death for many years, the amount of gold left behind in Osaka Castle was large enough to amaze Tokugawa Ieyasu, the shogun of Seiyi. Therefore, whenever people see Toyotomi Hideyoshi's golden gourd horse mark, they can think of gold and wealth.
This item contains the fortune of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Therefore, as long as members of the Divine Domain carry this item with them, they can try to use it to increase their wealth.

Regardless of whether the promotion is successful or not, the Elemental Gems that have been invested in the gourd cannot be invested again. Otherwise, the Elemental Gem will disappear completely.
