"But he said that he only had 400,000 dan, and he was only willing to sell these grains to us. But the price was quite cheap, and he was willing to sell it to us with only a 30% increase." Hosokawa Noriyuki knew that the master would not be satisfied with this result.
They might even get angry at him because of this. So after finishing speaking, Hosokawa Noriyuki lowered his head forcefully.
"What? Only 400,000 dan?" Komatsu Reiko didn't care about the price at all. She only cared about the amount of food. 400,000 dan was too little. The requirement she got was that she must buy at least 600,000 dan of food back, and the more, the better.
good.
If she only bought 400,000 shi back, then she would have no way to make the payment.
"Why do you only have so little food?" Xiaosong Lingzi frowned.
Seeing that his master was dissatisfied, Hosokawa Mochiyuki had to use Jiang Wei's words to excuse himself. He said: "It is said that other governor's offices have suffered from famine this year, and they really can't produce any extra food." ?
?
Komatsu Reiko stared at him from the moment he spoke. After Hosokawa Noriyuki finished speaking, she said, "Did the Governor tell you this?"
Hosokawa Mochiyuki suddenly looked embarrassed, but had to nod and admit.
Komatsu Reiko suddenly became angry, slapped his hand on the table, and shouted loudly: "Do you believe what he said? I think he clearly doesn't want to buy food for us. What a famine, what there is no extra food, that's it.
His excuse. These governors of the Ming Dynasty are not governing the people of the Ming Dynasty. Will they care about the life and death of these Korean people?"
Only then did Noriyuki Hosokawa realize that he had most likely been deceived by the Governor. But now that things have become like this, even if he goes to the Governor's Mansion again to find the Governor, can he still turn things around? Could he?
Do you dare to accuse the Governor to his face?
Facing the angry Komatsu Reiko, Hosokawa Noriyuki's most important thing now is how to calm down her master's anger.
After thinking about it in his mind, Hosokawa Mochiyuki suddenly said as if he had a sudden realization: "No wonder he has something like that on his table. It seems that he just wants to sell food to others."
Komatsu Reiko was keenly aware of the key information in Hosokawa Mochiyue's words. She instantly restrained her anger and asked in a deep voice: "What did you see at the Governor's place?"
"Go back to the master, I saw a precious sword there." Hosokawa Noriyuki was overjoyed and bowed quickly.
"A treasured sword? What treasured sword?" Komatsu Reiko asked in a calm tone, not at all excited as if seeing the treasure.
For her, what kind of sword has she not seen? There is nothing worth getting excited about.
Hosokawa Mokiyuki immediately said: "From the perspective of my subordinates, it should be a famous craftsman."
The most important thing is that I saw the family crest of the Ashikaga clan on the sword!"
"What?" Komatsu Reiko was so shocked that she no longer cared about punishing Hosokawa Mochiyuki, and focused entirely on the news that came out of his mouth.
"Are you sure you read it correctly?" Komatsu Reiko was still thinking of what might happen.
Hosokawa Mokiyuki immediately shook his head firmly and said: "Master should know that his subordinates also fought with the Ashikaga clan. It is absolutely impossible to admit their mistakes when it comes to their family crest."
This is the case. No matter how reluctant Komatsu Reiko is, he has to admit that the Ashikaga clan must have come here. As for what the Ashikaga clan is doing here, Komatsu Reiko can guess it without even thinking. They must also be here to buy food.
.The Ashikaga clan can't come across the sea just to relax, right?
"Do you think there is a possibility that Jiang Wei wants to sell grain to the Ashikaga clan?" Komatsu Reiko looked at Hosokawa Mochiyuki and said to herself.
"It's very possible." Hosokawa Mokiyuki replied seriously, "The master also saw it. When he saw Jiang Wei for the first time, from his tone, his subordinates thought he had food in his hands.
It’s definitely not just 400,000 shi.”
Komatsu Reiko also regained his composure and said in a deep voice: "The famine and the lack of food are just excuses for him to sell food to the Ashikaga clan."
Listening to this, Hosokawa Noriyuki had a doubt in his heart and asked: "But master, since he doesn't want to sell grain to us, why did he agree to sell us 400,000 dan? And the price is a little cheaper."
Komatsu Reiko sat down again, her eyes shining as if she had seen through Jiang Wei's trick. She sneered and said, "If I guessed correctly, the Ashikaga clan must have given him a higher price. Of course he didn't
He is willing to sell grain to us, but he already had the intention to sell grain to us. If he suddenly stops selling it now, it will definitely arouse our suspicion. The reason why he sold us 400,000 dan is just to appease the residents.
That's all us. His real deal will be completed with the Ashikaga clan.
As for you saying that he is a little cheaper than us in terms of price, haha, compared to what he earned from the Ashikaga clan, is this nothing?"
"So that's it!" Hosokawa Mochiyuki's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but marvel, and then asked: "Then Master, what should we do now?"
Komatsu Reiko thought more than what she said. Now she replied
Thinking back on it, Xu Chengfei clearly had a large amount of grain in his hands that needed to be sold. She took the initiative to buy it, but Xu Chengfei didn't like it.
At that time, she was still very surprised. Apart from her, no one here should be able to buy the grain from Xu Chengfei's hands in one go. Now it seems that Xu Chengfei must know that besides her, there are Ashikaga clan here.
Everything was figured out, Komatsu Reiko had a clear idea, and no longer had any doubts or doubts.
After a moment of clarity of thought, Komatsu Reiko immediately said: "No matter what, we cannot let the Ashikaga clan buy food here."
After hearing this, Mochizuki Hosokawa's face suddenly became embarrassed. He said, "But now Jiang Wei obviously wants to sell the grain to them, but is not willing to sell it to us. Also, maybe the grain in Xu Chengfei's hand is
They will also be sold to the Ashikaga clan.”
Komatsu Reiko suddenly laughed and corrected Hosokawa Mochiyuki, saying: "It's not possible. If we don't buy the grain from Xu Chengfei's hands, he will definitely sell it to the Ashikaga clan."
Hosokawa Mokiyuki looked at his master, waiting for his next words.
"The Ashikaga clan is more short of food than we are, so we can't let them buy a grain of food no matter what." After finishing speaking, Reiko Komatsu looked at Hosokawa Mochiyuki.
Hosokawa Mochiyuki was shocked and immediately said: "Master, please give me your instructions." .??.
Komatsu Reiko nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "It's up to you to figure out how to get the food in the Governor's Mansion. No matter what, even if the price is doubled, you will still have to buy all the food in the Governor's Mansion.
arrive."
"Yes, Master." Hosokawa Noriyuki nodded without hesitation.
After waiting for a few breaths, before his master continued to give instructions, he asked curiously: "Master, where is Xu Chengfei?"
A trace of unnaturalness flashed in Komatsu Reiko's eyes. Even she was not aware of this change in expression. "I will handle Xu Chengfei's situation personally. You don't have to worry, as long as you do your own thing."
"Yes." Hosokawa Noriyuki nodded immediately.
After the discussion was settled, the two people immediately started taking action. The first was Hosokawa Mochiyuki, who came to the Governor's Mansion again to ask for an audience.
This time there was no order from the Governor, and Liu Dao ignored him at all.
When Hosokawa Mokiyuki saw this, how could he not know that he had offended Yanagata?
Don't be afraid of offending others, as long as you have a way to make amends.
For Hosokawa Mochiyuki, the only thing he can take away is money.
.He doesn’t have anything else, but he can manage enough money.
Noriyuki Hosokawa insists on inviting Ryuto to drink...
Liu Dao was originally unwilling to go, but he couldn't bear Hosokawa Mokiyuki's insistence, and he also had some thoughts in his heart, so he naturally went with the flow and met Hosokawa Mokiyuki.
In a private room, there were only two people, Yanado and Hosokawa Mochiyuki.
Yanado is a good drinker. Although he was reluctant when he came, when he saw the delicacies and wines prepared by Hosokawa Mokiyuki, he couldn't help it.
No matter what, let’s have a good meal first and then talk about anything else.
The two exchanged cups and cups, and soon had almost finished eating and drinking.
Yanado knew that Hosokawa Mochiyuki wanted something from him, so he said straight to the point: "What do you want us to do, just tell me. But let's talk ugly up front. We are a big-shot soldier and have no ability. If it's your business
It’s too big, so we can’t help you much.”
How is it possible that you want me, Uncle Liu, to take action after just one drink?
Hosokawa Mochiyuki didn't care about Yanagata's alienation, and took out a wooden box with a smile. The wooden box was in Hosokawa Mochiyuki's hand, and when he handed it to Yanado, his arms trembled slightly. It was obvious that this wooden box
Although the box is not big, its weight is amazing.
Liu Dao glanced at it, but did not reach out to pick it up. Instead, he asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
Hosokawa Noriyuki said with a smile: "In the words of your Ming Dynasty, it's just a trivial matter, so please accept it, military master."
Hearing this, Liu Dao paused for a moment before reaching out to take the wooden box. As soon as he took the wooden box into his hand, Liu Dao felt his hand sinking. He placed the wooden box in front of him and opened it. He saw that it was indeed ten golden boxes.
Gold cakes are neatly placed inside.
Ten gold cakes are only one hundred taels of gold.
Logically speaking, Liu Dao, as a junior high school student, could easily lift a hundred kilograms with one hand. A mere hundred taels of gold would not make him feel heavy at all. However, Liu Dao just felt that the gold in his hand was extremely heavy.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Just like ordinary people, you can pick up more than ten kilograms of things with one hand on weekdays, and you will not feel heavy. But if you hold gold in your hand, even if it is only
Just a few grams, you will feel it is heavy in your hands.
This is the weight that gold brings to people!
Liu Dao looked at the gold cake in the wooden box again, raised his eyes to Hosokawa Mochiyuki, and said: "What exactly do you want to do? Let's make it clear first that I will not do anything that violates the Ming Law."
