Chapter 479
With the Luo family's greeting, it was almost "delicacies from mountains and seas", the guests and hosts naturally parted in joy.
In the next few days, the two sides had several conversations on issues such as tribute from the court and the shogunate, the court's "Imperial Materials Land", the family tree of the Luo family, and the official position of Masayoshi.
At first, Shan Keyanji still wanted to win more benefits for the court as much as possible, but under the actual blow and the Luo family's sugar-coated shells, he finally compromised.
Regarding the genealogy, he promised to bring a genealogy specially created by the Luo family back to Kyoto and try his best to make it happen. Masayoro was already very satisfied with this result. As long as he was willing to help, under the operation of Aoshita and others in Kyoto, there would naturally be no problem with the genealogy recognition. As long as the genealogy is recognized, the Luo family and the Shogun family are of the same lineage. They will have more fame and great reputation.
Both sides made concessions to the issue of "Imperial Material Land". Shan Keyan no longer insisted on taking back these "Imperial Material Land". The Luo family also admitted that these territories belonged to the court in name, but the actual management and use rights belonged to the Luo family, and the court was not allowed to send people to these places. However, as the price of compromise, the Luo family was willing to pay 1,000 jin of copper coins every year as taxes for these territories. It was considered a disguised bribery and handing over to the court.
This result is a great joy. Shan Keyan was able to earn a yearly income of 1,000 yuan for the court, and the Luo family obtained the actual management rights of these territories and became good friends with the court. Although the power of the court has been lost, the only thing that is still valuable is righteousness and status. These two invisible concepts are of no use to the little wealthy family or the little daimyo. They only want to live a peaceful life. The court cannot control me. I don’t have to pay attention to the court. But for the daimyo who is determined to be the world, it is definitely very cost-effective. Long-term investment, the future gains are the status of entering the world.
As for the fundraising task of Yamakoto, Masara decided to donate another 5,000 jin of money to the court and the shogunate. As for how to divide it, it was a matter between the court and the shogunate. The last time the money and grain sent to Kyoto was said to be equally divided by two families. While raising funds, Masarara also tactfully expressed his dissatisfaction with the failure to obtain the promotion of the official position within the court. For this reason, Yamakoto also promised to do his best to get another official position for Masara after he returned.
During the negotiations between Yamakoyo, Kyoko Takayoshi, who was the general of the shogunate, also found Masara and expressed his gratitude to Masara on behalf of the shogunate. At the same time, it also explained the opinions of the shogunate during the dispute between the Oto family and the Ro family. That is, the hope that the two families will reconcile.
It seems that Kyoto Takayoshi is representing the shogunate to mediate the Luo family and the Oto family. Of course, Masara directly agreed to the shogunate mediation. Masara also hopes to have a stable time to digest the newly obtained territory of Kazuo and Homochi.
After the Luo family got the desired result, Yamakoto and Kyoto Takayoshi were very happy. After a few days, Masayora's efforts to stay, the two stayed in Hachi for several days, just as Yamakoto was about to return to Kyoto. Kyoto Takayoshi continued to go to Toyoko to mediate the dispute between the Luo family and the Ototo family, shocking news came from Kyoto. The shogun was forced to escape from Kyoto again due to disagreement with the Hosokawa family.
After receiving the news, Yamakoto Yoshiki and Kyoto Takayoshi immediately asked to return to Kyoto immediately.
Masara had expected this result. Anyway, the history records that the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshiharu was indeed driven out of Kyoto again this year, but he didn't expect it to happen when he sent an envoy to Himemaki. Masara naturally agreed to the request of Yamakoto and Kyoto Takayoshi and the others, and even sent some personnel to escort them back from the water.
After Yamakoto and Kyoto Takaki and the others left, two months passed in a blink of an eye, and November was approaching. The autumn harvest was also over. The Luo family's territory harvested a total of 400,000 stones of grain. In addition to the income obtained by other businesses, after converting it into grain, the territory income this year is about 500,000 stones. Due to the impact of last year and this year's war, agricultural production and commerce in some war areas have been hit, so it is already good to reach 500,000 yuan.
According to the current average tax rate of five tributes and five farmers in the territory, 10% of the tax is divided into income from the banned retainers in various places. In fact, Zhengliang's direct tax revenue is about 40%, that is, about 200,000 yuan. In addition, the grain reserves of about 100,000 stones are still stored in the territory's warehouse, Zhengliang's current income can be allocated about 300,000 stones.
Therefore, Zhengliang did not hesitate to allocate 100,000 shi of income as the expenses for the first half of the territory, mainly for civil, agricultural, technological research and development, and daily military consumption expenses. As for the remaining 200,000 shi of income, 100,000 as civil agricultural reserves, and the last 100,000 is used as arms. In addition, Zhengliang also asked the Internal Affairs Cabinet to continue to purchase a large amount of grain from other powerful territories.
Another month passed, and the end of December was approaching, and the New Year was about to come. On this day, Masara received a report from the Detective Fan of the Hoshinori Amakoto County. It turned out that it was the messenger of the Satsuma Shimazu family who hoped to be received.
Winter is indeed a season suitable for diplomacy. Due to the weather, unless there are emergency events or great opportunities, few Daming will take place in winter. The messengers of the Shimazu family came here for an alliance.
In the Anyue Castle Council Hall on the tenth day of the first lunar month, all the members of the Luo family gathered together, and almost all the members, regardless of distance, rushed back to Anyue Castle in the New Year. Today is the third day after the Luo family held a New Year banquet, and it is also the last time that the Luo family members gathered. After today, all the retainers will return to their posts according to their duties. But on this day, in addition to discussing state affairs, there is another important thing, that is, meeting Shimazu's ally envoy.
In the spacious convention hall, Masayora was in the main position.

This side is mainly a retainer of the Military Pavilion.
In addition, the Foo-light Group Junmoto Toshimahara, Okawaguchi, and Kuroki Solid Corps; the Navy's bow, the Navy's Non-Based Hiroshi, Utsuzura's Farming Education, Fukuda, Utsuzura Shigesaki, Oya Non-Based Township, Sumoto Town Tong, and Zhiqi Town Jing also attended the evaluation meeting on both sides.
The little surnamed Naoshima, Honta Masato Shinobu, sat behind Masarara. Because of the fact that the Kobaka Pavilion was outside the territory, under Masarara's permission, he did not return to the home town of the head to attend the New Year banquet and the New Year evaluation meeting for several consecutive days due to the fact that he was outside the territory.
"Tashimazu family envoy Ijiyuan Tadaro, pay homage to Master Dazai Shao Er!" The person in front of him leaned down deeply, pressed his palms against the ground, and then pressed his forehead tightly on it.
"Ijiyuan Tadaro is polite, please get up." Masara slowly said in a tone that was enough to reflect his noble identity and majesty. In order to cooperate with the momentum created by Masarara, the others present also stared at Ijiyuan Tadaro with tense faces.
At this time, the storm of the heart of Ijiyuan Takaro also appeared in his heart. He originally thought that he had overestimated the strength of the Luo family. But when he saw the prosperous lineup of the Luo family's retainers with his own eyes today, he couldn't help but feel secretly shocked. At the same time, he couldn't help but become secretly anxious about the development of his family.
"Thank you, Lord Dazai Shao Er." After hiding the surprise in his heart under the calm expression, Tadaro Ijiyuan immediately thanked.
"I wonder what happened to Takarara Yijiyuan's envoy before?" Although he already knew the other party's purpose, this matter was limited to a few important officials of the Luo family. Many people had just obtained some insider information.
"I came to the alliance between the two families. In order to express the sincerity of the alliance, I specially presented the famous sword to Lord Dazai Shaoer." Tadaro Ijiyuan immediately expressed. While speaking, Tadaro Ijiyuan's entourage sent a long black sword all over his body to the hands of Naoshiro Osaka Kaorshima. The latter respectfully sent the famous sword to Masarara.
It is rumored that this famous knife is one of the two famous knives that Genmanaka defended the world. It was originally named Kin Kei, and it was paired with another Kin Kei. It is said that when he attacked with two swords, one knife attacked the face and one knife attacked the knee, he got the name. Later, the two swords were passed to Gen Naikami, and he handed the Kin Kei to Watanabe. Legend has it that Watanabe used Kin Kei to cut off the wrist of the ghost god Ibarki at five ferry entrances, so Kin Kei was called "Ghost Kei". Later, Kiso Yoshizuka used Kin Kei to kill ghosts in Tohigao Mountain. Later, this knife was passed to Gen Naikami and became a treasure knife that only Japanese people in power could use. But what made Masara was surprised was why the famous knife fell into the hands of Shimazu family now.
"Since you are here to seek the alliance, there will always be enough reasons, right?" Just as Masara admired the famous sword, Nobunosuke Akaba, who was standing beside him, said first.
