"snort!"
"Who dares to humiliate my sister-in-law like this? Have you ever asked me, Matsunaga Jinsuke!"
Suddenly, a tall warrior walked in from outside the house, then looked at several businessmen with an angry look and said.
After saying that, the samurai turned his head and looked at the woman with a slightly funny smile and said, "Arong, why didn't you tell your brother in advance when Omi came?"
"If I hadn't just learned from my brother that you were coming to Omi, I wouldn't have known about it!"
"Second brother is busy with official duties, why would Ah Rong cause trouble for you?"
Matsunaga Nagai reached out and touched Ah Rong's head, and then said with a doting look, "It would be fine if it were someone else, but if my only sister comes to Omi, I, Matsunaga Nagai, naturally cannot neglect her."
"What's more, there are still people here who dare to bully you, let's see if I don't break their legs!"
Yoneda Sonrokuro finally understood that this woman named Aron turned out to be the sister of two brothers, Matsunaga Nagayori and Matsunaga Nagahide.
Not to mention the current Matsunaga Hide, as for the town administration of Imahama Castle Castle Town, he is fully responsible for the management of the castle town (Yoneda Sonrokuro is only responsible for managing merchants and cannot interfere with the management and operation of the castle town). Even Yoneda Sonagahiro has to show face to Matsunaga. .
What's more, Matsunaga Nagayori is a close confidant of Kyogoku Takamasa, and his status under Kyogoku Takamasa is second only to Akao Kiyozuna, Mitsui Takatora and Endo Kyouyo.
The three of them, Akao Kiyotsuna, were from the lower surname of Kyogoku Gaozheng, so they were naturally favored.
But if there is anyone other than these three who is the most trusted by the high-ranking officials in Kyogoku, it is definitely Matsunaga Nagayori.
Listening to what Ah Rong said just now, it was obvious that he had the support of Matsunaga Hide, and with Matsunaga Nagayori personally coming to help, Yoneda Sonrokuro already knew what to do.
"Aiya, Matsunaga-sama is a rare visitor."
"It turns out that this is Lord Matsunaga's sister, one of our own!"
"Don't worry, Lord Matsunaga, this land will be given to Miss Arong!"
In the eyes of Yoneda Sonrokuro, Arong is obviously just a figure on the surface, and the one who really wants to open a commercial house is probably Matsunaga Hide himself. So this face must be sold no matter what.
Matsunagahide nodded towards Yoneda Sonrokuro, then turned to look at the other businessmen and said, "Why are you still standing there? Do I need to invite you out again?"
"Don't dare!"
"It was a villain who bumped into an adult carelessly before. Let's go now! Let's go now!"
After saying that, several businessmen crawled out of the rice field house.
Today's experience and knowledge were really shocking to them. At the same time, these businessmen secretly made a decision not to continue doing business in the future. It would be difficult to have no legs!
...
Today's Hama Castle has pine trees and a long and beautiful house.
The three brothers and sisters, Matsunaga Hide, sat around and talked, bursts of laughter from time to time, and the atmosphere seemed particularly harmonious.
"Why did Ah Rong think of coming to Omi to open a wine shop? Will father agree?"
Previously, it was okay for the two brothers Matsunaga Hide to come out. At least there was Arong in the family who could take care of his father. But now Ah Rong has also run out. When he thinks of his father staying alone in the ???
Ah Rong smiled sweetly and said: "My father was very happy when he learned the news that his two brothers became warriors, and decided to sell them... !
"Arong is just here to stand in front of us, and father will come later."
Matsunaga and Matsunaga smiled at each other and finally felt relieved.
At the same time, I am also quite happy. We are strangers in a foreign land, and we miss our relatives even more during the festive season. Father and Arong can come to Omi, so they don't have to worry about it anymore.
From now on, they can do their own things with confidence and boldness. Without worries, they can better serve the high government of Kyogoku, and sooner or later they will become real important ministers of the family.
"Hey, it's so lively here!"
Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly walked in from outside, and then looked at Matsunagahide and others in surprise and said.
When he saw Arong sitting next to Matsunagahide and Matsunaga Nagayori, Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly said, "Why is Arong here at Omi? I haven't seen him for many days, and he is becoming more and more graceful!" "
"I've met my lord!" Matsuzuki and Nagahide quickly saluted.
Ah Rong also bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Jingdou!"
"Why did my lord suddenly come to my house? I am not prepared at all!"
Kyogoku Takamasa smiled, and then he found a seat and sat down politely, "I heard that the site selection work for the castle town has been completed, so I came to Hikomokuro to find out the specific situation."
"Originally, I planned to report the situation to my lord and Lord Asami tomorrow. Since my lord is here in person, I will explain the situation to my lord now."
Although Asami Kunikune is still in the family as the economic executive, the development of the castle town is related to the actual interests of the Kyogoku family, so Kyogoku Takamasa has always taken this matter to heart.
"According to the records from Yonedaya today, more than 60 commercial houses will be opened in the castle town."
"These include shukuyas, rice houses, leather houses, cloth houses, wine houses, gambling halls, horse houses, etc. In addition, the newly built port outside Imahama Castle will also be put into operation. In the future, all merchant ships coming from Lake Biwa will dock at Imahama Castle. .”
"The preparations for the construction of the castle town are proceeding very smoothly."
After hearing Matsunagahide's report, Kyogoku Takamasa nodded with satisfaction. History does not lie. This guy is indeed a talent!
"good!"
"With these commercial houses, the development of the castle town is on the right track."
"Imahama Castle's port will add a lot of color to the castle town. After all, the trade that relies on Lake Biwa every year is also very important."
The area of Omi is actually not small, but due to Lake Biwa, the land area of Omi is not large. But also because of Lake Biwa, Omi's lake transport trade is very prosperous. Many business travelers traveling to and from Wakasa, Yamashiro, Echizen, Omi and other places choose to transport goods by water transport.
In addition, there are many large rivers in Omi, all along the coast of Lake Biwa, so Omi's water transportation is very developed.
Only the Anesawa is the larger river within the Kyogoku family territory, but one Anesawa alone is obviously not enough, so Kyogoku Takamasa made up his mind at Lake Biwa.
The port of Imahama Castle is only the first one. According to Kyogoku Takamasa's idea, the Kyogoku family will build two more ports in Kaizu Castle and Onage Castle in the future to cover all the territory of the Kyogoku family.
"Hikorokuro has been working hard on the affairs of the castle town during this period!"
"It is my duty to serve the master's family. How can I talk about hard work?"
"I know very well that it would be unfair for Hikorokuro to just manage a castle town, but I don't have a place for you in my family for a while! After the development of the castle town gradually stabilizes, I will definitely entrust Hikorokuro with important responsibilities!" Kyo! Ji Gaozheng looked at Matsuhisa Nagahide with a sincere face and said.
Hearing Kyogoku Takamasa's heartfelt words, Matsunaga Hide was also very moved, and the little emotions that existed before disappeared.
"Thank you for your trust, my lord. I will serve my lord to death!"
