Chapter 335 Cultivation Plan
Nagaya Maeno and Masaka Masakaku are both rich second generations. They have certain power in their families and their foundations are also in Mino and Ohachi. Obviously, they will not easily surrender to others.
So Masara did not have the intention to recruit him, but just planned to make a good relationship and meet him later. Thinking of this, Masara immediately said: "It turns out that it is Lord Toshimasa from Mikawa, Lord Nagakuya from Mino, Lord Masasara from Ohara, Lord Masato from Ohara, you are really warriors."
The three of them couldn't help but blush slightly when they heard this. Masaki Maeno Nagaya and Masaka Hisuka blushed because they were praised by Masayoro. Both of them were teenagers, and in the later generations, they were just a teenager. As the saying goes, seeing the injustice on the road, they drew their swords to help. Just now, they saw that the dozens of people who escaped were obviously bullying, so they helped. Honda Toshima's blush was mixed with complex emotions, which were both happy for others to praise him and embarrassing for what he had just happened. If he had enough coins, this matter could be settled with money, and he would not need to be caught in the troubles of others.
But he really has no money. This time, it was just to make some money that he resolutely escorted several masters to Kyoto as a low-level samurai to attend the Buddhist conference. Of course, this was also because he accepted the lord's mission. During this period, even samurai had different identities. Some samurai with low identities still needed to farm by themselves, not just for samurai that they didn't have to farm. Honda Toshimasa's family was too poor. In addition to relying on a barren land, the family also relied on his salary. But he was just an inconspicuous low-level samurai under the Matsuhira Takashi Okubo. So he took this escort mission without looking at other samurai and led a few escorts to Kyoto.
Today was also considered unlucky. I finally finished the escort mission and came to the street to take advantage of my free time, but I met a few guys who were obviously blackmailed, which eventually triggered a conflict.
"Below is the second lieutenant Saemon of Kyushu Hime, Masara Luo," Masara introduced himself.
"It turns out that it was His Highness Zuoemon, which is really rude." As soon as Masayoro heard that he had an official position, the three of them immediately saluted.
"Haha, if you have time, if you don't want to visit Himeqian, my family will definitely be full of the landlords." Masara continued, "In addition, I would like to remind you that the dozens of people just now are from the Hosokawa family. It is not suitable for a long time to stay here. I'm afraid those guys will lead a large group of people again soon. How about you, if you don't want to go to your residence to gather?"
"What?" Hearing that the dozens of people just now were from the Hosokawa family, Masaoka and the other two were shocked. Even if they were angry and worried.
"Your Highness Zuoemon, we have important things to do, so it's not convenient to disturb you again. If you are destined to be together, you will definitely get together again." After thinking about it, Masaka Masakaki said. They did have important things to do this time. Now such an accident suddenly happened, and he decided to finish the matter as soon as possible and leave Kyoto quickly. After all, Kyoto is still the territory of the Hosokawa family. Masaka Masaka behind him is obviously the only one behind Masaka Masaka.
"Since that's the case, I won't force you anymore. I hope that when we meet again in the future, we can get together well." Zhengliang said.
"In this way, there will be a period of time later." Maeno Nagayasu said with apologies. After that, the two of them quickly left.
"I don't know what Jun Zheng wants?" After the two left, Masara looked at the only Honda Jun Zheng who was left and asked.
"It's better to obey your orders than respect." Honda Toshima accepted Masaru's invitation. Anyway, the errands have been completed. Several masters in charge of escort have also traveled together, and the few slights he brought have also dispersed, so he had nothing to do. Since he was invited by Masaru, he was happy to accept the favor. After all, the other party is also a high-ranking official. And he has his own territory, so he must be a powerful man. You must know that even his lord, Tadae Okubo, is still a white man for the time being.
After returning to the residence, the two started chatting.
"I don't know what happened to Shunmasa's trip to Kyoto?" Masara was indeed very curious. Mikawa was also quite far from Kyoto. With Honda Shunmasa and family resources, it was indeed impossible for him to appear here. But now he is really sitting in front of Masara.
"Sir Zaemon, that's how it is." Then Honda Shun said the purpose of the trip.
"So that's it." Masayoro nodded, "Sir Joon-sama, please forgive me for being rude. From the perspective of this, I'm afraid that the situation at home at the moment is not very good." During the Warring States Period, even if he was a samurai, his life was not necessarily good. There were also many samurai struggling at the bottom of society.
"Ahem" When Masaru suddenly asked this, Honda Joonmasa immediately became embarrassed. If other samurai were asked this, he might have left after slapping the table, but Honda Joonmasa was different. Since he was willing to accept the escort mission that even other samurai was disdainful for the sake of the elderly and young people in his family, it shows that he could accept the embarrassment at this moment.
It was because Masarara saw this clearly that he asked a rashly question. According to Masarara's memory, Honda Toshimasa's family was indeed relatively poor. Even when Honda Masato grew up, he just lived in a poor village and served Honda Toshimasa's head as a humble eagle craftsman. If it weren't for the discovery of Nedokawa Ieyasu, he would have struggled on the edge of survival like his father.
Let’s look at Toshima Honda, who is also an unlucky person. Because soon, he will die in the conflict between the Matsuhide family and the Oda family.
"Sir Junzheng, you accept such an escort task, obviously to earn a small reward to support the family. If my family now provides you with a piece of land that is sufficient for your family and to recruit you as a samurai of my family and enjoy a salary of fifteen saus per year, what do you think?" Zhengliang said directly.
"Sir, are you recruiting me?" Honda Toshima asked in disbelief.
"Yes, as long as you promise to become a samurai in your family, the above treatment is my promise." Masayoro said confidently.
"This?" Honda Toshima was confused all of a sudden. You know, whether in the Honda clan or in the eyes of his own lord, he was just a low-key and even dispensable corner. Now a powerful man in the side personally asked to recruit him, which made him unable to adapt to it at once.
After a long time, with a undulating mood, Honda Toshima asked earnestly again: "Sir, did you take your promise just now?" He still couldn't believe the facts in front of him.
Zhengliang nodded. He was a little surprised. It was not easy to recruit samurai, especially those who already had the head of the family. Now it seems that the other party thinks it is like a pie falling from the sky. Is it really difficult for the other party to have no food at home?
"Your Highness, I am willing to follow Youth Highness, but there are still old and young people in the family, so..." After gritting my teeth and thinking, Honda Toshima finally made up his mind and expressed his last difficulties.
"It's okay, move your family and even your friends to our territory together. Our family will set up residences and fields for them, which is enough for them to be self-sufficient." Zhengliang said directly.
"My subordinate, Honda Toshimasa, pays homage to His Highness and thanks to His Highness for his great kindness." After receiving Masaru's promise, Honda Toshimasa immediately bowed to the ground and shouted.
