Komatsu Reiko pointed at each number and said to Noriyuki Hosokawa: "Look, although these numbers are only approximate numbers, the total and the actual number should not be very different. There are one hundred here alone.
It’s 070,000 dan. Even if there is a mistake of 300,000 dan, the Governor’s Mansion will have at least 870,000 dan of food, and it may even be more.”
"With so much grain, he is actually willing to sell us 400,000 dan? This is too bullying. Isn't it even less than half?" Hosokawa Mokiyuki was indignant.
Komatsu Reiko leisurely put down the paper in his hand, glanced at him and said: "That's not all. Since the Governor's Office does not want to sell food to us, then the food will definitely be sold to the Ashikaga clan. Once the Ashikaga clan gets the food,
You know what that means to us."
Hosokawa Mokiyuki didn't answer when he heard this, but just stood aside with an embarrassed expression.
Seeing this, Reiko Komatsu raised his head and asked: "By the way, I asked you to find out where the people from the Ashikaga clan are. Have you found out their whereabouts in the past few days?"
After hearing this, Hosokawa Noriyuki's expression changed and he immediately knelt down, lowered his head and replied: "My subordinate is incompetent. I have searched the entire harbor in the past few days, but I have not found the slightest trace of the Ashikaga clan. Please punish me, master."
But Reiko Komatsu's reaction was very strange. When she heard that there was no trace of the Ashikaga clan, her expression was very calm, with no sign of anger at all. ??
After a while, Komatsu Reiko lowered her eyes and glanced at Hosokawa Mochiichi, who was kneeling respectfully on the ground. She said slightly: "Get up."
Hosokawa Mokiyuki was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know why the master would let him go so easily. According to past practice, he failed to handle such an important matter. Even if the master didn't shave his skin, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
The pain of the skin and flesh is also inevitable.
"Thank you, Master." Hosokawa Mokiyuki stood up in a somewhat uneasy mood and glanced at his master suspiciously. Seeing that his master looked like he didn't care at all, he shut up knowingly and did not dare to ask what was going on.
It was a matter of great luck that the master could spare him this time. How could he dare to ask any more questions?
Reiko Komatsu seemed to know what Hosokawa Noriyuki was thinking. She raised her head and said with a smile, "What are you thinking, why did I let you off so easily this time?"
Hosokawa Mochiyuki was stunned for a moment, then had to reluctantly nod and said: "Yes. This time, after all, it was the subordinate who failed to do the job well."
Komatsu Reiko shook his head slightly and sighed: "This matter has nothing to do with you. How big is this harbor? As long as you search carefully, I believe you will not find clues. But you have been searching for so many days,
We haven’t found even a single trace of the Ashikaga clan, what does that mean?”
"It shows that my subordinate is incompetent and has let his master down." Hosokawa Noriyuki was in a low mood. After all, it was still his fault.
Komatsu Reiko was so angry that she wanted to grab the tea cup and smash it on his face. After taking a few deep breaths to suppress his anger, he cursed loudly: "Idiot, this means that someone doesn't want you to find the Ashikaga family!"
Hosokawa Mokiyuki was suddenly startled when he heard this, raised his head and looked at his master blankly.
Komatsu Reiko then explained: "Don't forget whose territory this is. The Ashikaga clan may not be able to hide it completely. But if the Governor's Palace wants to hide the Ashikaga clan, then you will definitely not be able to find it.
of."
"Master, what you mean is that the Ashikaga clan is now in the Governor's Palace?" Noriyuki Hosokawa took a deep breath, and his heart sank straight down.
Komatsu Reiko sneered, "Besides here, is there any place in this harbor that you can't explore?"
Hosokawa Mochiyuki nodded immediately and exhaled a breath. After receiving the master's explanation, the depression that had filled him these days was instantly dissipated. Then he asked: "Master, since the governor arranged for people from the Ashikaga clan to enter the governor's palace, then what?
Obviously, they are about to reach an agreement, and may even have already reached an agreement. So what should we do now?"
Komatsu Reiko's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said with a sneer: "My favorite saying in the Central Plains is that it's still unclear who will win! It's too early to say who will win and who will lose. Let's wait and see."
Suddenly, Reiko Komatsu turned around and stared at Hosokawa Mokiyuki, who was in a daze.
Hosokawa Mokiyuki was suddenly startled and quickly lowered his head. He only heard the clear voice of his master, "Since you have already connected with the captain, no matter what method you use, if he is very rich, you can use gold to throw it at him."
"If he is lecherous, use your female sex to attack him. In short, we must bring him to our side no matter what."
"This master is just a captain." Noriyuki Hosokawa felt that it was not cost-effective to pay such a large price for a captain, and it would be easy to lose everything.
However, Komatsu Reiko smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, just do as I say. As long as he takes our money, then you can take the opportunity to ask him to help us find out about the Ashikaga clan."
"I'll do it now," said Noriyuki Hosokawa.
He said quickly.
Komatsu Reiko nodded and waved, "Go."
After Hosokawa Noriyuki left, Komatsu Reiko looked towards the direction of the Governor's Mansion. He murmured to himself: "You are dreaming if you want to take the food away from me. And Xu Chengfei, you bastard, want to
How can it be so cheap to sell grain to the Ashikaga clan? Hahaha~"
A burst of piercing laughter echoed in the room. Fortunately, Hosokawa Noriyuki left. If he hadn't left, it would have made him shiver all over.
Han Du had just had a few days to relax when he received a message from someone from Komatsu Lingzi, saying that he wanted to see her again. As for what Lingzi Komatsu wanted to do after seeing her again, she did not say.
However, Han Du was able to guess to some extent that his plan worked, and Xiaosong Lingzi was anxious!
Han Du happily went to the appointment with a smile and walked downstairs to the agreed-upon inn, but he changed into a very impatient look.
When he pushed the door open and walked in, he saw that Komatsu Reiko was wearing a very thin silk robe today, and it was also the attire of a Ming Dynasty lady.
I have to say that Komatsu Reiko is indeed a beauty. In the past, when she wore Japanese clothes that made Han Du extremely disgusted, Han Du thought she was a bit stunning. Now she has changed into Ming Dynasty clothes, coupled with exquisite and bright makeup
, Han Du couldn't help but be stunned.
From the moment Han Du entered the house, Komatsu Reiko's eyes never left Han Du's body. Naturally, she saw all the changes in Xu Chengfei's expression. Now that she saw Xu Chengfei suddenly lost consciousness when he saw her, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
.
In the previous confrontations with Xu Chengfei, she didn't take any advantage at all. Xu Chengfei was able to remain indifferent to her unfailing beauty before. This made Komatsu Reiko feel a little self-doubt, thinking that Xu Chengfei was worthy of being the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Come to the capital, the most prosperous place in the world, and you will be well-informed and will not be confused by her.
But now it seems that what is well-informed and what is not deceived by her? All of this is just Xu Chengfei resisting in front of her, with a silver pewter gun tip, which is just a shiny surface.
With this understanding, Komatsu Reiko became more confident in her plan for today.
And Han Du suddenly came back to his senses, knowing that he had been embarrassed just now, and the woman in front of him must have noticed it. It was a small shame, but if this woman took advantage of it, it would be a big deal.
But Handu
After all, he was born in a battle on the battlefield. What kind of storms and waves have he not seen? But in an instant, Han Du's expression returned to normal.
He was even in the mood and smiling to talk to Komatsu Reiko. He walked forward in a few steps and sat down on a chair, half-lying lazily. "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about when you came to me today?"
Said?"
Komatsu Reiko's beautiful eyes kept glancing back and forth on Han Du.
Han Du's body couldn't help but become tense when he was glanced at by such eyes, especially when he glanced at his lower body.
After a while, Komatsu Lingzi focused his gaze back and said with a smile: "Sir, you should know that there is only one thing that this little girl wants to see you for, and that is the food in your hands."
Han Du looked indifferent and chuckled, "It's easy for you to want food. If you can buy it at my price, five hundred thousand shi of food, you can take it away tomorrow."
"Hehehe" Komatsu Reiko laughed so hard that she covered her small mouth with her jade-skinned hands, and then said: "It seems that the Ashikaga clan is not generous enough. Could it be that they are only willing to double the price, sir?"
That’s why you had to come to me?”
Hearing the words "Ashikaga", Han Du suddenly changed his lazy and relaxed posture, sat up straight in an instant, looked at Komatsu Reiko with wide eyes, and blurted out in disbelief, "How do you know?
"
The smile on Komatsu Reiko's face gradually faded, and as she slowly stood up, it seemed as if the entire room was gradually falling under her control.
While walking towards Han Du, he said: "Sir, you don't need to know why I know it. As long as you know that it's something that I, Komatsu Reiko, want to know, there's no way I won't know it. I just didn't think about the Governor's Mansion a few days ago.
I contacted the Ashikaga clan and didn’t go into details. However, since the Governor’s Palace was unwilling to sell food to me, and the Governor’s Palace obviously had millions of koku of food, but now it went to great lengths to bring food here, I
I realized there was a problem behind this matter.”
"The Governor's Mansion is unwilling to sell me more grain, and my husband seems to be confident. If there is no other buyer, how can he be so unfazed?"
Han Du stared at Xiaosong Lingzi for a long time and let out a long sigh, "Sure enough, you are a woman, and you have discovered such a little abnormality. But I am very curious, how did you know that someone was coming?
Buy food here? Also, how did you know that there are millions of stones of food stored in the Governor's Mansion?"
