Takada Yono must explain these truths clearly to Imai Munehisa, which is also the main point of the secret discussion between the two today.
Takada Haruno became a monk halfway, and her business operation relied heavily on Imai Munehisa. She had to convince her subordinate, otherwise she would not be able to do this.
Imai Muneku had been kidnapped by Takada Harano on the boat a long time ago. She could not get off the boat by herself. She also supported Takada Harano's approach of kidnapping more people on the boat.
Since we are walking at night, it is better to find more people to whistle together than to whistle alone!
Imai Munehisa sighed and said.
"I understand what you mean, sir.
In this case, I will try my best to persuade the managers of each house to borrow as much money as possible.
First, borrow 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, set a one-month payment of principal and interest, and then slowly bring them into the market.
Don't worry, these people are more greedy than you think, and they will definitely fall into the trap.
I have confidence in business matters, and I ask you to control the overall situation.
Sir, I am really scared."
When had Imai Munehisa ever done something so outrageous? This was to lure all the wolves, tigers and leopards from all over Japan into his own trap.
When the incident comes to light, those managers will be dead. Whether Imai Munehisa can survive depends on whether Takada Haruno can protect her.
Takata Yono said solemnly.
"I promise you that as long as I, Takata Yono, am here, I will never let you down.
If you want wealth and honor, don't forget each other.
If I break my promise and make myself rich, I will be hated and abandoned by my master, and I will never be able to see him again for the rest of my life."
Seeing that Takada Harano's oath mentioned Shiba Yoshigan, Imai Munehisa felt a little relieved.
She understands Takada Haruno's almost pathological feelings for Shiba Yoshigan, and will never make casual remarks about him. In this case, let's settle the loan issue first.
The two continued to discuss details in secret, while the autumn colors outside the window were getting darker and everything was withered.
———
The autumn wind rustles.
In the Kyoto Imperial Palace, Ashikaga Yoshiterumasa and Takada Yukino were practicing swordplay in the courtyard.
This is a standard Japanese-style courtyard, small and exquisite, with a focus on privacy. Screens and curtains intersect in sequence, wrapping the small courtyard tightly so that outsiders are not allowed to peek at it.
Ashikaga Yoshiki stood and listened to Yagyu Soen's words, waving his sword in his hands and making gestures from time to time.
Suddenly, she stopped and looked back at the solemn-looking Yagyu Sogan, the chief minister of the shogunate.
"Isn't this nursery rhyme spread all over the capital?"
Ashikaga Yoshiki seemed to be smiling, but Yagyu Munen bowed deeply, not daring to raise his head.
The mother and daughter of the Yagyu family are divided into two groups. The mother works as the head of the shogunate, and the daughter works as the head of the Shiba family. They are both powerful swordsmen with low status.
Such an outrageous nursery rhyme was spread in the capital, and Yagyu Soyan did not dare not to report it. But she was really unsure of how the general would react.
Seeing her silence, Ashikaga Yoshiki felt an evil fire rising in his heart.
The sword in his hand hit the stone lamp next to him. The blade couldn't bear it, it let out a cry, and the blade flew out.
The blade of the blade passed over Yagyu Muneyan's hair. She was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat. She knelt down in the posture of sitting down and said.
"I'm so sorry! I'm going to look up the origin of the nursery rhyme right away."
Ashikaga Yoshiki stared at the half-cut sword in his hand and said slowly.
"There's nothing to investigate. It's just a way to divert my attention after I was forced into desperation.
Keep an eye on Ise Sakyo, Nijo Castle is about to be garrisoned with troops, and she is very anxious at this moment, and she will use any dirty tricks.
After this, I will settle the score with her."
Ashikaga Yoshiteru has not been idle this year.
The Rokkaku family and the Miyoshi family had no time to peek at Kyoto. The powerful local party headed by the Shiba family tried their best to support her, and the Ninagawa family was among the ministers.
With one hand, she controlled Sakamoto Castle and controlled the Biwa Lake waterway from Omi Kingdom to Yamashiro Kingdom. With the other hand, she built Nijo Castle and created an Ashikaga family logistics station independent of the shogunate.
By controlling the waterways, Kyoto's commercial logistics can be controlled, making it easier to obtain profits from business. With a logistics system that is independent of the shogunate, the general's mobilization power will not be restricted by the shogunate.
She was settling accounts with the Ise Sadato Clan. The behavior of the Ise ministers in recent wars became her excuse to reduce and deprive them of a large amount of territory and make it the direct leader of the Ashikaga family.
As time went by, Ashikaga Yoshiteru's power grew in the shogunate. In particular, Nijo Castle was about to be garrisoned and put into operation.
With this logistics station, the Ashikaga Hui's five hundred warriors were enough to suppress the country of Yamashiro, and the Ise Sadato sect completely lost the ability to resist.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru gave a few more instructions and asked Yagyu Munen to go down and do the work. She had no idea that Ise Sakyo was taking the blame for someone else.
Akechi Mitsuhide has always been the representative of the Shiba family in Beijing, and he supports any behavior of the general. This is Yoshihiro Shiba's instruction, and it is also the attitude of the Shiba family.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru didn't know that this diplomat of the Shiba family had something in his mind.
Although he told the people below to ignore him, Ashikaga Yoshiteru himself was very isolated.
She looked at Yukino Takada, who was constantly sheathing and drawing out her sword, practicing her sword with all her heart, and smiled coldly.
"It's a good thing that a great official of Spo won't get married.
Takada Yukino, you and other Shiba Clan warriors don’t think about the glory of your family and the business of Fukuzawa’s descendants, are you really thinking about such shameless and dirty things?”
Ashikaga Yoshiteru didn't take it seriously.
In her opinion, this nursery rhyme was a ploy to drive a wedge between her and Shiba's retainers, and she would not be stupid enough to fall for it.
The current accusation is just a normal reaction of a woman. When a man is criticized by outsiders, it is like cuckolding. She always has to find an excuse to scold others and vent her emotions.
However, Takada Yukino's reaction was beyond her expectation.
Yukino sheathed the sword, wiped away the sweat on her temples with her sleeves, and tucked a stray hair behind her ears.
After steadying her breathing, she blinked her big eyes, looked at Ashikaga Yoshiki coldly, and asked.
"My Lord is so good, why can't I like him?"
Ashikaga Yoshiki was choked by what she said, his head was swollen, and he cursed.
"That's my man! Ashikaga Shogun's royal palace! How can you and other ministers covet it!"
Ridiculous!"
Takada Yukino looked at the angry general blankly and asked.
"Can't you like it?"
"cannot!"
She tilted her head, thought for a moment, and shook her head.
"I like it, Yukino likes me the most."
Ashikaga Yoshiki was furious, half of the sword in his hand was pointing at Yukino Takada and trembling, but he could not say anything harsh.
First, this is the critical moment to consolidate the power of the shogunate. She needs the support of the Shiba family and cannot give wrong signals to the outside world.
Secondly, before Yoshigan Shiba left for Kanto, he specifically asked Yukino Takada to protect Ashikaga Yoshiteru. This is a beautiful friendship that cannot be let down.
Thirdly, Yukino Takada is Yoshigan's opponent. The last time Yoshigan Shiba surrendered to Ashikaga Yoshiteru, it was partly because he was interceding for Yukino.
In both public and private matters, Ashikaga Yoshiteru could not do anything to this cute swordsman, and was so angry that he stamped his feet. She turned around and left the courtyard, turning her head out of sight.
In addition to being angry, Ashikaga Yoshiki couldn't help but feel a hint of gloom in his heart. Takada Yukino's reaction stung the staunch general and left her with a lump in her throat.
Minister Shiba is not acquainted... How dare these arrogant bastards covet my man!
