Chapter 71

After practicing Tai Chi in the early morning, Jin Sen Chang, who had been waiting for a long time, got a file, "Master, this is what my subordinates found in the archives. The original imperial imperial house of the Danbo Kingdom was 2,000 stones, but in recent decades, with the occupation of local tyrants, it has not paid annual offerings to the court for many years. Should we return these imperial houses to the court?'

I looked through the file and said, "Five hundred stones of paddy fields and 1,500 stones of dry fields. Well, it's not big, wait for me to ask His Highness Nobunaga." At this time, the relationship between Oda Nobunaga and the court was particularly delicate, so it's better to be cautious. There was no war in the Oda family these days, and His Highness Nobunaga brought a wave of artful cats and dogs to enjoy the cherry blossoms in Kyoto, and it would be nice to meet them.

Jin Sen Changjin asked, "Does the rich man who occupied the imperial village want to appease him?"

‘What a pleasing thing? I have swallowed the annual offerings of the imperial village for so many years, so I would be polite. I am going to Kyoto this time and take the five hundred flag book to see the rich man. I am afraid that they will make a big fuss at that time.’ Seeing that Jin Sen was close and wanted to speak, I asked directly, ‘What else is there? Let’s make an agreement together.’

‘Last year, there were many shops in the city and town that were hit by war. Many small merchants suffered great losses and wanted to borrow money from their homes to continue their business.’

It is inconvenient to not have a bank. From the names to the people who borrow money, they have to look for usury loans. However, usury is like a beast, drinking poison to quench thirst. It cannot be touched. Generally, I am unwilling to lend, and even prohibit my subordinates from lending. However, this time the situation is special, 'Forget it, first, the interest cannot exceed 8%. Second, there must be a mortgage.'

'yes.'

I remembered that the initial function of the Dutch commercial bank was to provide financial support to those ocean traders. If we opened a bank in Japan, we would have to catch foreign trade. Now the Kudo family only has trade with Ming State, and it is still a tribute-style. If you want to go out of Asia, you are indispensable to buy large ships. You can also buy some of the southern barbarian whaling ships in Kiyosu Town.

Another problem is that pirates in Japan are rampant, and it is time for them to withdraw from the stage of history.

After sorting out a few things, I found that all of them were indispensable to Oda Nobunaga's support. It seemed that I had to give His Highness a little sweetness.

The local tyrant who occupied the imperial village was northeast of Guishan City, and it was quite a walk to Kyoto. The village was extremely large. The outside of the village was surrounded by two-meter-high wooden fences, and there were two observation posts inside. Shimasaki Mong bombarded the post with iron cannons outside the village and shouted, "Open the door quickly, Lord Lord is here."

The sentry in the village who was responsible for keeping the watch was frightened by Shimasato's sudden shot and crawled down, and ran back to the village. The sentry ran to the home of the personal soldiers in the Zhuangtou and stammered, "Dear, dear, Bingguard, Lord. There was a team of cavalry outside, with more than 500 people, all with iron cannons, saying that the Lord of the Country was here."

After hearing this, the personal soldier who was nearly fifty years old was still on the verge of Gu Jingbu, and he replied lightly, "I understand. Take me to open the door. It's not good to make the Lord of the Country wait for a hurry."

After the village gate opened, the flag owner entered the village. I immediately looked at the half-thousand-old man who had been buried, "You are the village's head."

‘The villain’s personal military position is the head of this village. It has been thirty years.’

I turned over and dismounted and cursed, "What a courage, do you know that this is the imperial village. I haven't paid the New Year's offer to the court for thirty years?"

The personal soldiers laughed dryly, and their faces were trembling a few times, "The court, who cares about the court now? Thirty years ago, after I took over as a village head, I gave my sister to the local daimyo as a concubine, and began to invade the annual payments for the imperial village. Even Lord Hatano knows these things, because his wife is my eldest daughter. Lord the king doesn't know. In the past, Hatano's family's tax was 30% and the annual payments for the court were 30%. If they were paid on time, the people in the village would not be able to eat for three months."

When I was hungry, my daughter and I had an affair. It seems that there is no need to punish too much. Our Kudo family’s policy is to reform and cure diseases and save lives. ‘I didn’t care about the affairs of the Hatano family in the past, but in the future, the 20% taxes and the 20% annual payments of the Kudo family must be paid, otherwise I would not mind moving the people here to Shiguo.’ Shiguo was the place where the imperial court exiled criminals in the past.

The eyes of the personal soldiers flashed, and they said, "I think the Huangzhuang Village will only need to pay 20% of the tax in the future."

‘Why?’ Shimasaki on the side shouted loudly and pulled out half of the blade.

The personal soldiers said word by word, "It's up to my little daughter A Yuan."

‘I am so confident, bring me here to meet you.’ Wave Shimasaki and let Shimasaki retreat violently.

A kimono girl was walking in wooden clogs and under the guidance of her personal soldiers, she walked up to me in stairs. The close-fitting kimono supported the towering jade peak on her chest. After I saw it, I immediately typed four big words in my mind, giant breasts, children, and beautiful women. This old man gave birth to many beautiful daughters, no wonder he was so confident.

‘The little girl A Yuan has met the Lord of the Country.” A Yuan smiled sweetly and showed a hint of teasing, but it was not without etiquette. Her pure appearance and plump figure make her a man’s beauty.

Looking at Ah Yuan's polite appearance, I couldn't help but be stunned. How could Xiaomin's family afford such a noble daughter? I'm afraid it wasn't bought by Gongqing's family.

Seeing that I was stunned, the personal soldier explained with a bit of pride, 'My little girl A Yuan started learning cooking, tea ceremony, harmony, piano playing, chess and cards since she was five years old, flower arrangement, embroidery, and flute... For ten years, the money spent on A Yuan in the village has been at least fifty cents. Lord, do you think Xiao Yuan is worth 20% of the land rent of Zhuangzi?'

‘Worth it. However, the annual payments given to the imperial court must be paid, and the Kudo family’s 20% of the achievements are exempted.’

I borrowed a room with A Yuan alone, "A Yuan, can you play the flute?"

‘Yes.’

I looked excited and said, "Blow one and I'll see."

A Yuan took a bamboo silhouette with a delicate jade hand and played a song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix".

Great disappointment...

‘Let me teach you the fifth level of ice and fire.’

A Yuan's face turned red, "Sir, I have practiced it with radishes. But there is no ice in the farm now."

‘There is an ice cellar in Bashang City, but it will take a few days to go back. Let’s play with the doctor and the nurse first. No, the doctor and the patient. From now on, I am a doctor, you are a patient, do you know?’

'But the doctor is a cheap karma...' Before A Yuan finished speaking, he was pushed down on the tatami, 'You are a patient now, so you must be obedient and don't move around.'

‘Oh, this is amazing. There is a lump on my chest. I will check if it is a malignant tumor. Take off my clothes first.’

...

After some inspection, I said with satisfaction, 'Yeah, it's good that it's benign. Hey, there is running water below, I'll check if it's inflamed. Yes, it tastes good, it doesn't look like it's inflamed.'

A Yuan, who was unaware of human affairs, was amused by me and she rose to the point of fire and moaned, "Sir, give it to me."

‘You are sure.’

A Yuan blushed and could no longer speak, but her big watery eyes blinked.

‘The ultimate mystery of Kudo River – the silver spear is washed away by blood. The stab.’
