Kyogokukan's backyard.
Leaving Sonrokuro Yoneda outside, Kyogoku Takamasa and his son and Matsunaga Hide quickly ran to the backyard to discuss urgently.
Tens of thousands of kilograms of food is by no means a small amount, and it is really heartbreaking for the Kyogoku family to spend so much food in vain.
"Saburo, these grains were lent by the Asai family to Yoneda House. Isn't it right that our family should repay them both emotionally and rationally?"
"If it's three to five hundred kilo of grain, that's okay, but this is tens of thousands of kilo!" Kyogoku Takahiro made it clear that he wanted to default on the bill.
Matsunagahide shook his head, "Master Hall, Yoneda Sonrokuro has a loan agreement signed with the Asai family and a document from Tomoyo, so it is not easy to let it go."
"Since the Asai family signed it for him, let him take it to the Asai family."
"But now that the Asai family has been controlled by the main family, what is the difference between looking for the Asai family and looking for the main family?" Kyogoku Takamasaya said helplessly.
Kyogoku Takahiro lost his temper instantly, "If that's the case, then tell me what to do."
"Zhixingchi can't give it to him no matter what, but my family can't get so much food for a while. How about using other things to pay off the debt?"
"According to today's rice price, 6,600 shi of millet costs about 3,000 guan, and even brown rice costs 5 shi guan. So the estimated value of this batch of grain is around 6,000 guan. Where can I find so many valuable things to pay for it! "Kyogoku Takamasa also expressed pain in his head.
Hearing the conversation between Matsunagahide and Kyogoku Takamasa, Kyogoku Takahiro suddenly slapped his head and said, "I have a lot of good things, but I don't know if they are worth so much money."
"Could it be that father holds a family treasure?" Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly thought that the Kyogoku family has been passed down for so many years, and it is impossible to say that there are no good things.
Kyogoku Takahiro smiled mysteriously, and then said: "Follow me."
With that said, Kyogoku Takahiro stood up and led Kyogoku Takamasa and two others towards the back room. After walking outside a room, Kyogoku Takahiro stopped, then opened the wooden door and walked in.
Kyogoku Takamasa and Matsunagahide looked at each other and followed them in.
"Fuck!"
As soon as he entered the room, Kyogoku Takamasa was simply stunned.
This is so blinding to my eyes!
Calligraphy and painting all over the place.
Not only are the walls covered with them, there is also a thick layer on the ground.
Could it be that these are all family treasures?
So the Kyogoku family is so rich?
Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly felt like he had become rich overnight. Looking at the calligraphy and paintings here, it was like seeing gold all over the place.
"These are the calligraphy and paintings of the ministers of Kyoto. Some of them are even the royal brushes of His Majesty the Emperor. They are all obtained by my family from going to Kyoto over the years. How about it, not bad." Kyogoku Takahiro stood aside with a proud look on his face. said.
Most of these calligraphy and paintings were begged by Kyogoku Takahiro shamelessly, and some were given to Kyogoku Takahiro by ministers who owed money to Kyogoku Takahiro and could not repay the debt.
Hearing Kyogoku Takahiro say that these are all masterpieces by the Duke of Kyoto, Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly lost interest. Since it is not a masterpiece by a famous artist or a family treasure passed down, how much is it worth?
As if he saw the disdain on Kyogoku Takamasa's face, Kyogoku Takahiro on the side was about to explain, but someone had already done it for him.
"Could this running script be the three stripes of the West? Birds of a feather? Rui? Nightmare De? ┑ That handsome man with makeup left behind
"Hiss...this is actually a handwriting written by Ichijo Taizheng Minister (Ichijo Jianliang)?"
There are actually paintings by Masanobu Kano, the founder of the Kano School, here? "
Matsushita Nagahide squatted on the ground dumbfounded, staring at the paintings and calligraphy on that place.
Kyogoku Takamasa on the side nodded with an arrogant look and said, "I didn't expect Hikorokuro to have such knowledge. If you like it, you can take it yourself."
"How dare I? This kind of treasure is really not worthy of a common man." Although he thought deeply in his heart, Matsushita Nagahide still reluctantly refused.
Kyogoku Takamasa also gradually came to his senses at this moment. This pile of things seemed to be really valuable.
Sanjonishi Shitaka and Ichijo Kanryo are the bosses among the public ministers of Kyoto, and they themselves have a high status. The two of them are world-famous cultural figures. They are proficient in Waka and Noh music and enjoy a high reputation in the world.
Kanyoshi Ichijo is even known as "RB's unparalleled talent" and is known as "Kuan Yuan Daizhen". Moreover, Ichijo Kaneliang advocated Confucianism and was deeply influenced by Song Dynasty. He has been committed to teaching Confucianism. Many later famous bosses were students of Ichijo Kaneryoshi.
Moreover, Ichijo Kaneliang has done a lot of research on "responsibility for one's job".
"There is a duty and a duty" refers to the tradition, which is divided into a public family and a military family. Take the samurai family's duty story as an example, which refers to the "samurai norms and traditions". All samurai must behave according to this. For example, the samurai's daily code of conduct must follow these.
The masterpieces of these two people will naturally not be cheap.
The paintings of Kano Masanobu of the Kano School are even more remarkable. This person is the founder of the Kano School of painting and has long been the royal painter of the Muromachi Shogunate. After the Edo period, the Kano style of painting became popular. It was very popular in RB, and a painting would be worth at least 18 million in later generations.
"how?"
"Are these things worth thousands of dollars?" Kyogoku Takahiro said proudly.
Kyogoku Takamasa was silent for a moment, and then said, "Although these paintings and calligraphy are precious, they are probably very common all over Kyoto. As the saying goes, things are rare and expensive, so it is difficult to sell them at a good price, right?"
Kyogoku Gaomasa knows that these ministers have limited financial resources, but they must live luxuriously and extravagantly. In order to meet their daily needs, selling their paintings to make money has become a common practice in Kyoto. Even the emperor continued to sell his royal brush to improve his life.
Paintings like this are already on the streets, so it shouldn't be easy to sell them at a high price.
"nonsense!"
Kyogoku Takahiro suddenly became angry, "Even though there are some black sheep among the princes who do such vulgar things, the vast majority of the princes in Kyoto really disdain to do such things."
With that said, Kyogoku Takahiro explained to Kyogoku Takamasa in detail some of the "dark history" about Kyoto's ministers.
After listening, Kyogoku Takamasa finally understood that it was not that the history he knew was wrong, but that the time was wrong.
It is only the first year of Tianwen, that is, 1532 AD. Most of the ministers in Kyoto still have their own "territory". Although life is tight, they can still barely make ends meet.
It will take another twenty or thirty years for "selling official positions" and "hawking paintings" to appear on a large scale. That will be the peak period for these things. Most ministers in this era still have a bottom line.
Most of today's ministers still have integrity. Most of the paintings and the like are still circulated among the ministers. If others want to buy some famous masterpieces by the ministers, they not only need to spend a lot of money, but also have to fund a Japanese singing session for them. Anyway, you have to please the other party first. In short, the paintings of some famous ministers are not easy to get!
After thinking about it, Kyogoku Takamasa finally asked the thoughts of the three people present.
"So how much are these things worth?"
