Chapter 148: Letters
early morning
Nagagawa got up and ate the rice balls, went to the inn, looked at the somewhat dark sky, knocked on the door, but there was no response.
At this time, the boss's fat face was full of a smile, and he said, "Is the samurai looking for this noble person who lives in the hotel? ”
Changchuan was taken aback and asked, "Where did you go?"
The boss replied: "Lord Samurai, but I went to Jiezhen, saying that I couldn't get used to living in an inn like mine, so I settled there and bought a house." ”
Changchuan was stunned when he heard this, and hurried to the dock, and sure enough, a boat that came was gone.
Seeing this, Changchuan touched his pocket, happened to be carrying his wallet, and shouted, "Whose ship is going to Jiezhen?"
A boat was loading, and I saw a boatman come up: "Go to Jiezhen, leave immediately, the boat is 700 Wen." ”
"Go!" Nagagawa dropped his usual money and jumped up.
It didn't take long for the boat to sail, and it was a day to get to Jiezhen.
Boundary Town
This is the most prosperous commercial port in this year, it is winter at this time, the snow on the ground does not disappear, and the shops are located next to each other, row upon row, only to see the prosperous atmosphere here.
The noisy crowd was full of richly dressed merchants and samurai, Wang Cunye stood on the street and watched, followed by two samurai.
Wang Cunye changed out of his robe at this time and put on a Fusang samurai uniform, but he didn't carry a Fusang sword, but the two samurai in the back were enough to set off.
If you look closely, you can see that there are many Middle-earth people in the town.
In this world, Middle-earth is the source of civilization, and the people of Middle-earth are respected and courteous here.
The imperial court declined, the princes stood side by side, and no one could close themselves off to defend the country, and in order to exchange goods and obtain profits, trade between the princes was frequent, and overseas trade was also particularly developed.
Wang Cunye casually broke off a branch of snow plum and said to a boss: "I asked you to find the fine house, have you found it?"
The boss kept bowing down and said, "My lord, there are several big houses with yards, but the price is very expensive, mostly more than 3,000 yuan, you see?"
Speaking of this, he paused: "Jiezhen was originally the largest port in Fusang, and you came all the way to see it, this is not my asking price." ”
"Well, I see, you can take me over to see it. Wang Cunye waved his hand, but in a blink of an eye, he smiled and said solemnly: "You are an intermediary, you can have profits, but don't fool me, dare to fool me, I will immediately order you to be cut, no matter who is behind you!"
The boss listened, bowed down and said, "Hey, don't dare, who here doesn't know the credibility of my Kawaguchiya?"
After speaking, the boss led the way in front, accompanied by each other, crossed the street, turned a street intersection, the branches in front of the trees were lush, a small river flowed like a jade belt, the snow covered the two banks, the cold plum blossoms in full bloom, and the sky was a picture scroll.
Wang Cunye saw it and praised it immediately: "Good scenery!"
When the boss of Kawaguchiya saw it, he smiled all over his face: "It's not this kind of land, how can it be worth such a high price?"
Wang Cunye nodded, and at this moment, the big room in front of him was revealed.
"It's here, my lord!" said the owner of Kawaguchiya, "This was originally the big house of the owner of Suzukiya, but it later offended the daimyo, but it fell into ruin, and this house was sold." ”
Wang Cunye stepped in, entered the inside, it is a typical Fusang style, this house has more than a dozen rooms, can live dozens of people, the courtyard is planted with peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, plum blossoms three kinds.
Passing through the boardwalk, there is a pond nearby, and you can see that the lotus flowers are planted in the pond by the side of the pond, and the beauty of the details is hidden everywhere in this garden.
Now the plum blossoms are blooming, the dark fragrance flows, then the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and then the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the fragrance of the flowers in the courtyard is connected, which will be an indescribable beauty.
The house is also a typical Fusang style, except for the bed, everything else is complete, Wang Cunye nodded secretly, quite satisfied: "You don't have to look elsewhere, it's this one, I'll pay you how much silver!"
The boss was overjoyed when he heard this, and he made a lot of money in this transaction, and said at the moment: "Three thousand three hundred!"
"I bought it, this is three thousand pieces of silver, you take it, and give me the title deed. Wang Cunye instructed the warrior to open the box and take out the silver.
The boss of Kawaguchiya looked at it carefully, and was immediately relieved, knowing that he couldn't make a mistake, and also took out the title deed from the bad and handed it over to Wang Cunye.
Wang Cunye took it with one hand, looked at it for a while, saw that there was no problem, and nodded to finish.
The boss of Kawaguchiya breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the matter was completed, and said, "In this case, I will take my leave!"
"Find me a few maids, and a cook!" Wang Cunye commanded: "Also, put the word Sakura Pavilion on the door." ”
"Finally, I was given 100 stone of rice, some sake, and all the ingredients I needed. ”
"Hey!" Although this matter does not belong to the owner of Kawaguchiya, he still respectfully agrees, and it is not too much to complete this trivial task for the guests!
Busy until the afternoon, Wang Cunye needed all the people and ingredients, and it was also a loss to Jiezhen, otherwise it would not have been completed so simply.
Inoko Sabei and Matsumae Uemon moved in, chose a house, and all ten men changed into new clothes, with weapons, and looked fat, these pirates changed their clothes, and they didn't look like pirates, and certainly not like samurai, but they looked very much like wild samurai.
The snow was falling, there were maids and cooks waiting, and they were on the fire, drinking warm sake, and a few side dishes, it was really a great pleasure in life, and Inoko Sabei and Matsumae Uemon both made satisfied sounds, and as for the pirates, they had to honestly go back to their rooms.
"It's been years since I've been able to drink like this!" said Matsumae Uemon as he sipped his wine.
"Yes, after the decline of the main house, he has been living a wandering life, and he has not been like this for a long time. "Pig Left Guard, the life of the ronin, in fact, is very hard, every year the ronin is frozen to death and starved to death, every year after the snowflake, there is always a stiff corpse.
"After drinking this wine, let's go and see the art of remembering!" said the pig left guard.
"No, now that we've come to worship the Lord, we can't do this. Matsumae Emon hurriedly stopped his companion's impulse.
At this moment, a person came to the door of the hall, pushed the door in, and immediately made the two slightly drunk samurai angry, and was about to pull out their swords, but when they saw that it was a samurai, they pressed down their anger again, and found that it was a little familiar, this is not the samurai Nagagawa Hanbei that I saw the day before yesterday!
The frozen-faced Nagagawa half-guards stopped, stood at the door, and asked politely, "Is it Wang Jun's house?"
"Yes, the Lord rests in it, what is the matter with you?"
"I've been looking for a long time, and if I hadn't happened to hear about it, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found it today. Nagagawa Hanbei said.
The two warriors looked at each other, and at this moment, Wang Cunye came out.
When Changchuan Banbei saw Wang Cunye, he immediately showed joy and saluted: "Wang Jun!"
Wang Cunye saw that it was a samurai who was old the day before yesterday, and asked, "Oh? It's you, what's the matter?"
"Hi, my lord has entrusted me to bring you this letter. The Nagawa half-guard bowed down and said, he didn't dare to have the slightest slackness and arrogance to this young man in Middle-earth, and as he spoke, he walked over, took out a red document from his arms, and handed it over.
"Alright, you can come in first, and have a glass of warm wine. Hearing this, Wang Cunye took the paperwork and went inside.
"Hey!"
Inside, all three of them sat upright, and Matsumae Uemon took a warm wine glass and handed it to Nagagawa Hanbei, who bowed his head deeply again to express his gratitude.
Wang Cunye went inside, took out the paper in the letter, and began to study it carefully.
This letter not only contains the information of the gods, but also has the conditions for completion, as long as the god is killed, Wang Cunye can not only get a shrine, but also get the territory of 500 stones around the shrine.
500 koku is only 500 acres, which is not much, but in Fuso, it is difficult for merchants to buy land with money, which is the privilege of samurai.
After thinking for a while, Wang Cunye sneered, and with a "snap", the documents suddenly turned into crumbs and scattered all over the place.
After a while, his expression was calm, and after he came out, he drank wine with a wine glass, and said casually: "I know, you tell your master that you will be rewarded with ten yuan, go back!"
"Hey!" Nagawa half-guards knelt down, although they had only drunk three glasses of wine, but when the matter was done, they were also happy, took the silver, and withdrew.
Although Wang Cunye was not prepared to train people in Fuso, he knew that these samurai and pirates were now confused, so he said: "Inoko Left Guard and Matsuzen Right Guard!"
"Hey!" the two bowed.
"This time I have a plan, if you can fulfill my main order, I can make you a real warrior, and you will all receive a salute of about 100 stones!"
Hearing this, the hearts of the two calmed down, for the Fusang people, as long as they can obtain the land and become a samurai, it is the belonging of everything, for this, it is a matter of course to bear notoriety, thinking of this, the two suddenly fell deep on the ground: "Hey, I am willing to die for the Lord!"
Seeing the expressions of these two people, Wang Cunye smiled slightly, he was not going to establish any forces, but this kind of thing that could be done stimulated by these people to actively surname, but it was also a good thing.
A small organization with a positive attitude can at least help get some trivial things done, Wang Cunye waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow, you send people to the four countries, and I will ask you to investigate some things." ”
"Hey, don't worry, my lord, we will do our best!" the two hurriedly replied excitedly.
"Okay, you guys stand down!" Wang Cunye waved his hand.
"Yes!" the two respectfully withdrew, and then the snowflakes fell again, and the two looked at each other, both of them showing joy.
If Wang Cunye was a leisurely Taoist from Middle Earth, then they felt that the future was limitless, and maybe they would run away, but now as long as they have a goal, they are immediately energetic.
This kind of samurai is not afraid of difficulties and bloodshed, but is afraid that there will be no chance and no future.
