Chapter 265 Invest in Sakai

It can be said that the economy of the samurai family is a rice economy that is closely related to the territory. Although it was faced with disintegration at the end of the Edo period under the pressure of the capital accumulated by the merchants, the life of the samurai who did not directly participate in production, if the use of force was prohibited from the beginning Unable to maintain.This is not only in Japan, military spending is still restricting people all over the world. This unreasonable phenomenon will continue to exist when the level of civilization is not enough to deny all wars, and it is undoubtedly a continuation of barbarism.

Closer to home.Hearing that Shinzaemon could prepare gold and rice, Hideyoshi boasted arrogantly. "Zeng Luli, don't be so arrogant! This fee is not a small sum!" "Of course, it was my idea." "You know, to make Shibata and Takikawa fear us, it's not enough to send more troops to Daigo, Yamashina, Funaoka, Umezu, Toji, Yotsuka, and Nishioka!" "That's what I said too." "Your vision is too short, too short! Except for the seven important places, only four gates have been strengthened and banned, and the funeral is not impressive enough. How is it? I think the number of people attending the funeral must be at least 10,000 or more."

"Ten thousand people? It's surprising. Your Highness suddenly became angry!" "Yes!" Hideyoshi turned his chest sideways, twisted his beard like a loach, and coughed arrogantly. "Who do you say I am?" "Our Highness, Hashiba Chikuzen-sama." "It's too simple. I am the ruler of the world, Hashiba Chikuzen Mori Hideyoshi, who smashed Mitsuhide's three-day world in one fell swoop." "Convicted of the crime, sincere and sincere. But if you don't show the momentum to attack Mitsuhide, the big funeral will be meaningless."

Hideyoshi's eyes were piercing, as if emitting two rays of light. "I still haven't declared to the Japanese daimyos that I will be the master of the world in the future." "Of course." "Therefore, for the funeral of Lord Nobunaga, Uesugi and Hojo in the east, Mori and Otomo in the west, all big and small names must be invited to attend!" "Your Highness, you are empty-handed. You are talking too much. Order all the names in Japan? Do you want them to raise money and food for you?" "Don't pour cold water on me, Zeng Luli. They have worked hard to raise funds, so they have to use them to the best of their ability!"

"Please give orders. It depends on the world's big names to come to participate." "Of course, it's better to come less. Come, then..." Hideyoshi made a gesture of delivering food to his mouth with chopsticks: "These people's expenses are naturally very high, but this is also my chance to claim the master of the world. Write Hundreds of letters, not much money!" "Good advice!" Shinzaemon patted his knee and said, "Your Highness is wise, will this funeral be a swearing-in ceremony to seize the world?" "Of course. But my fountain of wisdom is not unlimited. Come and let it be free. Greetings, benevolent, not only to bluff, but also to increase the sense of intimacy, so that people know that His Highness Chikuzen remembers them. After that, it can prevent Singe or Nobuko When he was dying, others made friends with him. However, Zeng Luli..."

"Yes, what are your orders?" "The significance of funerals is very important. Money is needed, and gold, silver and rice do not need to be saved." Shinzaemon was a little impatient, so he stood up and patted his chest and said, "Whether it's a disaster or a blessing, I'll take care of it." "Should the funeral start at Ziye Dade Temple, or on the contrary start from Dongshan and go in the direction of Kitano?" "You can do whatever you want, and create as much momentum as you can." "In short, from the place of departure to the destination, the funeral procession cannot be interrupted. In this way, there must be thousands of monks. One bag of alms for one person requires a thousand taels."

"It's only a thousand taels!" "Miscellaneous expenses are about 10,000 guan, which is real miscellaneous expenses." "But 10,000 guan, no problem." "All the ministers are called, and the money will not be used directly at that time. But some must be donated to Dade Temple." "It's enough to give a famous knife, and the money is fine." "Dade Temple gives the trophy the famous sword, so let's give it to the Taidao of the National Bank!" "It was taken from Zhizhi? All right." "There are also tributes from the monastery territory. Give some Yongdai pilgrimage money, it won't take much."

"Okay. How much rice should I prepare? Including visitors, about 50,000 to 100,000 people come to the capital. Even if they live in the temple dormitories of Zhiji and Hatago, they have to eat. Enough rice must be transported to the capital first." "Yes, there are a total of 100,000 people. During the funeral, each person will fight for 10,000 stones!" After saying this, the shrewd Shinzaemon was also taken aback.Although Yingying was ordered, at that time, Kinki could not find ten thousand stones.Calculated with five buckets, it would cost 20,000 yuan, and the ships to transport the grain may not have been raised yet.

(Hmph! The cowhide is blown!) However, at this time Hideyoshi's fantasies had no bounds, and Zeng Luli couldn't catch the net anymore.
