Butterfly [The Great Austrian Woman Version]

When Mamiya learned that Yusuma was standing frozen in the yard, it was already breakfast the next day.

Ji Yidian is not particularly big, but the people around Mamiya are all brought from Heian-kyo, and he himself had a few fights with Ji Zong, which is well known.The people below turned the bow early because of the wind.Therefore, no matter in Kii Temple or Wakayama, his eyes and ears seemed to be covered by someone.No one will pass on news to him to sell well, even if he wants to know something, he has to spend some money.He has the means, but he really doesn't have much money.

Before marrying Ji Yi, Mamiya knew about Yu Xumo. Yu Xumo was also a marriage bestowed by the general, and his family also had a background. He still knew these basic information.Therefore, as soon as he entered the mansion, he also had the idea of ​​not being in the limelight with Yu Xumo.However, Ji Zong's heart was very biased, and he had the friendship of a landlord. He failed to please him several times, and was even overwhelmed by Yu Xumo.When he heard about this, Mamiya Li's eyes lit up with excitement, and he hurriedly called Ashu Ajin to wash and dress him up.He was going to meet the feudal lord, and then he would step on Sumo.

A child who has been suppressed for a long time, once he can make a comeback, one can imagine how happy he is.So, when he dressed up and proudly opened the door of the tea room, he froze on the spot when he saw the scene inside.Ji Zong was propping up a wooden pillow to read a book, with a relaxed posture, when he saw Zhen Gongli, he raised his eyelids, and then turned his eyes back to the book.

"Since you're here, let's have a cup of tea." Ji Zong said casually while reading the book.

In the tea room, Yu Xumo was cooking tea. When he saw Mamiya Ri, he smiled slightly, made a half-respect, took a ladle from the simple and simple water basin, and filled the pot with water to boil.Mamiya Li squeezed his fists and watched him make tea with flowing water, several times boiling, when Yusumo clicked and put down the small ladle, the new tea had been cooked, and the room was full of tea fragrance.Shinomiya Ri is also good at the tea ceremony, so it can be seen that Yusuma is also an expert.Brewing tea is the most important thing to be calm and relaxed. Yu Sumo stayed in a temple in his early years, and making tea is a kind of practice.

However, these are not the point.The point is, why should a depressed person be hiding in a place now, why do they look so harmonious and peaceful in the same room with Ji Zong.The warm aura is like the fragrance of tea, filling the whole tea room, making people feel like there is no way to get involved.What happened yesterday, just like this, he said, how dare someone not sell Suma's goodness, but reveal this kind of thing to himself.Feelings, this is a joke waiting to see him.

Losing is not losing, and the two present don't know why he came here.Mamiya simply raised his head and entered the tea room, Usumo turned around from the tea making position, saluted him, then poured the tea into the bowl, and pushed it in front of Mamiya.

When Zhen Gongli picked it up, the tea bowl turned out to be made of stone, which was a bit overwhelming, but the cold stone stimulated the rich tea fragrance, and the dark stone further reflected the clearness of the tea soup.When you smell it lightly, you will know that it tastes good.After sipping the tea, he picked up the handkerchief and wiped the rim of the bowl and his lips, and said softly, "If your lord has nothing to say, I won't disturb your reading."

"Hmm." Ji Zong didn't raise his eyes this time, but just snorted.

Mamiya retreated, and walked back to the house in a decent manner.However, as soon as he returned to the house, he lowered his face, picked up a piece of porcelain and wanted to throw it.Seeing Uncle Kinoshita's nervous expression, he put it back gently.This fall, everyone in the Manji Yi Palace must know that he suffered a loss and went back to the house to lose his temper, provoking ridicule for nothing.He clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his anger and becoming even more humiliated.Kinoshita took care of him since he was a child, so he naturally knew his temperament, so he quickly waved his hands to let Ah Siu go out, and closed the door himself.

When she turned around, Mamiya had already buried her head in the brocade quilt and began to cry.Shaking shoulders, silent crying.That person doesn't want to see me, it's fine, why is he so partial to Suma, how can I be worse than others?Why did she find it troublesome to even look at herself more.He left his parents and married into the Wu family far away, everything is so strange.The people around seemed to be waiting to see his jokes at any time, and their dislike of him seemed to be born from the bottom of their bones.Kinoshita didn't know how to persuade him, fearing that the more he persuaded him, the more uncomfortable he would be, so he could only stroke the quilt for him, fearing that he would cry out.

After crying for a long time, the stone in Zhen Gongli's heart felt lighter, and he raised his face.There were wet tears on his face, but his eyes were much firmer.At home, no matter how indifferent his mother and father are, he still loves him; here, the only thing he can rely on is himself.

"Bring me some water. I want to cleanse my face. Bring me a new set of clothes."

Kinoshita looked at him standing still, his heart trembled with distress, and he went to find out in person.

Over there, there was another person in the tea room. Saburo thanked Tai Sumo for his tea, and took a sip without tasting the tea.He has been running outside for most of the day, and he is already thirsty.

"Tea is good tea, but it doesn't quench your thirst." San Langzuo wiped his mouth with his hand, smacked it and said.

Both Yu Xumo and Ji Zong laughed, "Mei, don't be particular about it, just give him a small basin filled with water."

Sure enough, Yu Xumo poured the freshly boiled small bowl into the empty small bowl, and handed it to San Langzuo.The latter was not polite, picked it up and took a big gulp, gasping for air when it was so hot, puffed and drank it again.After this pot, I feel more moisturised.

"There is a kind of tea passed down from the heavens. It is boiled with milk and tea cakes, and boiled in a large pot at a time. It has a strong tea fragrance and milk fragrance. Add a pinch of fine salt, and that is the way to quench your thirst!" .After hearing this, Ji Zong suddenly remembered the milk tea he drank in Mongolia in his previous life, and the saliva in his mouth gushed up.Yu Xumo had always liked tea, and hearing what he said, his eyes lit up.

"How about ordering someone to fetch some fresh milk, and I'll cook a pot for a try too?" He asked eagerly.

San Langzuo unceremoniously broke his fantasy, "No, no, it's not right, you call it a pot? It has to be an iron pot or a clay pot! It's only that big." The size of the gesture, the bucket that fetches water from the well is enough to hold a pot of water.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Ji Zong said angrily and amusedly, Yu Xumo excused himself to clean the tea set, took his things, and stepped back, letting the two of them talk about it in detail.

San Langzuo stopped laughing, and said seriously, "I went around for a while to find out what my lord asked me to do, but I didn't get anything."

Ji Zong put down his book and sat cross-legged upright, waiting for him to elaborate.

"The main crop of each feudal clan is rice. Others, there are at most some corn, soybeans, and very little wheat. Although the feudal clans cannot do business, it is not impossible to import some seeds from other sources. However, throughout the country, vegetables and fruits are originally It is rare, and they are all imported, and what you told me is a little difficult."

It turned out that since the disaster, Jizong began to consider the issue of food.She has long discovered that there are too few types of food and vegetables in this era, and after a tsunami and earthquake, more than half of them were destroyed.This is an island country, the climate is not suitable, and the rice is too affected by the typhoon and tsunami.I can't find out from many sources. Now that I think about it, the Celestial Dynasty is already the Qing Dynasty, and many crops should also be accompanied by ships, and they have increased.She originally thought that the news in Ji Yifan was still blocked, so she wanted to take a look while she was in Edo.

Unexpectedly, Edo, where the daimyo gathered, did not gain much.Even, she has thought about the exchange of items and delivery methods.

San Langzuo got her order, so he naturally knew how determined she was and how much blood she was going to bleed, but "don't worry too much, I see these big names are not working hard and can't distinguish grains, how do you know what kind of food, Varieties of vegetables. Why don’t I ask the people who spread them to visit the folks.”

Ji Zong didn't know how to inquire from the people, but she also went out with San Langzuo for a circle, and the peasants ate those things.There was no harvest in the field that pleased her, and it was about to start sowing. After the earthquake and tsunami, the sea water returned, and the land was very poor, how could she not be in a hurry.

Seeing that Ji Zong was distressed, San Langzuo deliberately adjusted the atmosphere, and joked, "Master, you still said that you are looking for those big names. Those big names only know how to suck money, so they don't care about these lowly things. No, I just accepted a few days ago Gossip. A vassal of the Kashima domain was killed by the lord of the Satsuma domain. Because she was obsessed with researching crops, she boldly proposed to promote it in various domains. After being rejected, she wanted to go to Edo alone to see the general. As a result, They were chopped off."

There is a lot of information coming from everywhere every day, and not all of them pass Ji Zong's eyes. A Yuan is responsible for sorting out and reporting.Due to his position, San Langzuo also dabbled in hunting. When he saw the news, he felt that the person who was cut off was a little crazy, so he took a second look.

Ji Zong's eyes flickered, "Lord Satsuma, but Shimazu Tsuitoyo?"

San Langzuo nodded, Ji Zong shook his knee with his hand.This Satsuma clan is also a strong clan, located in the southwest, in the Kyushu area.The history of the family is longer than the history of the shogunate. After several generations of the shogunate, it has not fallen, but one generation is stronger than the other. Since the Warring States period, there have been rumors that "the Shimadzu has no dark master", that is to say, the Satsuma clan, the Shimadzu family, from generation to generation They are all Mingjun.It sounds a little loud, but in the huge Kyushu, dozens of big and small vassal states, in fact, most of them belong to Satsuma, which shows their strength.As a foreign daimyo who was surrendered and granted a fief of 77 shi, it sounds amazing, but in fact, its strength is far more than that.

This is not, the vassal of the Kashima clan, she cut it off as soon as she said it.Recalling the tribute from the Mitsui family, the rumors released by the general also mentioned the Satsuma domain.It seems that the generals of the past dynasties are not at ease with the Satsuma domain, which is really a serious problem.The shogunate has always guarded against foreign daimyos, and has never allowed them to hold important positions. The fiefdoms are also remote and most of them are on the border, and the requirements for donations are almost harsh.

The relationship between the shogunate and Waiyang was tense, and Waiyang tried his best to protect himself.A powerful feudal clan like the Ako clan was arranged to receive the special envoy of the emperor just because it was a foreign daimyo. There was naturally a lot of bitterness and helplessness in the majestic feudal lord who could kill a minister who was born in the banner.

Only then did the so-called wish daimyo come into existence, that is to say, the daimyo of appearance is specially designed for band daimyo.Here, it is necessary to briefly explain.There are many kinds of daimyo, and there are levels.

First of all, it is the pro-vassal daimyo, which is the direct line of the Tokugawa family, such as the imperial family; secondly, the band daimyo, which is the old department of Tokugawa Ieyasu when he went to the Kanto, the cronies of the cronies, and the source of the main positions of the old middleman and the shogunate. For example, Yu Suma's mother's family, Okubo Tadachao's family; finally, there are foreign daimyos, such as the Maeda family with 110 million koku and the Shimadzu family with 77 koku.

Having said that, I have to talk about the former general Tsunayoshi. During her reign, the best thing she did was to change her strategy for dealing with foreign daimyos.The implementation of civil rule allowed the foreign daimyos to serve in the shogunate, which strengthened the sense of belonging of the foreign daimyos.For this reason, the Asai family's status has been raised to the level of the Yusan family.After doing such a thing, it has been really stable for many years.

When General Jiaxuan took office, there was a scene where the Maeda family and the Yusan family met together in the Daguangjian.

Ji Zong thought about it, but it took only a moment, she said to San Langzuo

"I think the general has a loose face, but he is actually wary of the outside world. The last time the Mitsui family donated money, the Satsuma clan was involved."

San Langzuo has been traveling all over the world, and he is familiar with the affairs of various feudal clans, and has some insights into current affairs.Ji Zong also talked about it a few times by chance before he discovered this in surprise.Needless to say, she also likes to chat about politics with San Langzuo often, and there are surprises from time to time.Because he walks among the people, he looks at things more pragmatically.

Mitsui's family donated money, and San Langzuo had experienced it, not to mention, it was the first time he saw Ji Zong, so he was naturally impressed.He smiled at Ji Zong, and Ji Zong also remembered that when he first met San Langzuo in Yoshihara, he mistook him for a male prostitute.

"Fortunately, the general didn't want to go back to the old way and add a direct family member to the Shimadzu family." It's not clear, but fortunately, she has a daughter, so she can be regarded as a successor.In this way, it's not easy for the general to put people in. If he still refers to marriage when he obviously has a daughter-in-law, it would be too obvious to be on guard.

San Langzuo shook his head, "You are wrong! General Jiaxuan arranged it, but Shimadzu Tsuitoyo didn't accept it."

"Oh?" Ji Zong looked up curiously.

"It's Zhu-kun, and speaking of it, General Tsunayoshi also arranged for Zhu-kun to marry Shimadzu. After all, the two are only four years apart, and their age status is similar." San Langzuo also has a heart for gossip. He was a bit tongue-tied, but he was quite arrogant and arrogant. "He used the excuse that Mr. Zhu was not a general's son, and rejected Mr. Zhu twice, twice! She once said arrogantly that if Mr. He was not married, she could still consider it." One or two."

Ji Zong's eyes darkened for a moment, then he raised his head and asked, "The Kashima feudal lord, what kind of crop do you want to promote?"

San Langzuo wanted to continue to use his gossip spirit to discuss all kinds of top things about the Shimadzu family with Yoshimune, but Yoshimune stopped him and rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "Well, it seems to be, it seems to be called 'Samotaro'. "He said uncertainly.

Ji Zong sighed, thinking that under San Langzuo's tall appearance, he still has an immortal gossip heart, which is a match for A Yuan, but it's a pity that A Yuan's heart is for A Xian, otherwise he could have a good relationship for the two of them, and a relationship could be achieved. good story.

"Go and find out, what exactly is 'Samo taro'? It's best to find a finished product to see." Ji Zong ordered, thinking, is it taro?That's not bad either.

"Yes." San Langzuo just wanted to share gossip news, but was stopped, feeling a little bitter.

Seeing his appearance, Ji Zong wanted to laugh, so he suppressed it and said, "Go quickly, and find out what other secrets the Shimadzu family has, and talk about it when you come back."

San Langzuo's eyes lit up, this time he saluted neatly and said, "Yes, this subordinate will go and investigate now!" He willingly got up and went to work.

The author has something to say: If you have a relative, I think it’s okay to have more weight (to finger)

In the last chapter, everyone's acceptance was pretty good. In fact, I was entangled, but I was persuaded by everyone. It feels really good.

This chapter has a brief introduction of the daimyo, are you dizzy?It will be explained in succession in the future.

Politics is stressful
