Butterfly [The Great Austrian Woman Version]

The reason why Yoshimune was mistaken that Tokugawa Yoshitsu would show others as Matsudaira was because he had a preliminary understanding of her.Whether Tokugawa Yoshitsu is acting or real, at least he is an arrogant person, and such a person will not demean himself.In the general's family, only the first daughter can have the surname Tokugawa, and other than that, the promising ones have the surname, and they are all Matsudaira, like Yoshimune, who was called Matsudaira Raikata before, and Genroku before that.Therefore, Tokugawa Yoshitsu may take a step back and say that his surname is Matsudaira, but it is unlikely to say other surnames.Another point, if Ji Tong is not as arrogant as she shows but a thoughtful person, Matsudaira is also a safe surname. The surname of the general's family is Tokugawa or Matsudaira, but the surname Songping is not necessarily the general's family.At least, as far as Ji Zong knew, the Matsue clan, the Fukui clan, and the Aizu clan all had the surname Matsudaira, which was more confusing than other common surnames.

Ji Zong followed his predecessors and entered Takashima House, which was different from the hustle and bustle outside.The spacious and grand hall is not gaudy, but simple and generous. If you just look at the hall, it is reasonable to say that it is a noble family.Passing through the huge wooden screen, there is a courtyard behind, surrounded by two-story exquisite wooden buildings, which surround the courtyard into a large square.The shadows of trees danced in the courtyard, every room could not be seen clearly, and the people walking on the veranda could only be discerned by their clothes.But there are always music and laughter floating out, gently and far away, very comfortable.Looking at it this way, it is not inferior to some private clubs in the previous life. It is estimated that Takashimaya should be regarded as a leader in this Yoshihara.

Maybe it's because they haven't started serving customers yet, and there aren't too many young men carrying plates, and when they pass by occasionally, it's not like they're flirting with each other.I went up to the second floor along the stairs, but instead of going through the corridor, I entered the inner side. There are rooms on both sides. It may be that the land in Yoshiwara is quite expensive, and the space is fully utilized.The person leading the way stopped in front of a golden sliding door painted with gorgeous peonies.Ji Zong looked around, but it was a relatively independent space, just at the end of the corridor, opposite the gate, which was the passage leading to the veranda outside.

"Oh, my lord, the distinguished guest you've been waiting for has arrived!" A shrill voice inside laughed exaggeratedly, and when the sliding door was pushed open, it came out.Ji Zong was also surprised why he didn't see a character like the old bustard, and he dared to wait here.She stepped into the room, facing the Japanese room, there were several young men playing the Sanxian, and another man was dancing with a pocket fan, and did not stop because of Ji Zong's arrival.

"I've seen you!" Through the sliding door on the left side of the hall, a man in his thirties came out, grinning at Ji Zong with bright red lips and kneeling down.Dressed in green on the outside and red on the inside, coupled with exaggerated accessories, it looks more than festive.Tokugawa Yoshitsu is sitting in the front seat, Tokugawa Tsunajo has also arrived, Yoshimune is slightly relieved, at least this is not a conspiracy against himself.Ji Zong entered and took the seat on Ji Tong's left, which was obviously reserved for her. Ji Zong's bodyguard knelt and sat behind Ji Zong.

"Hey, what kind of wind is blowing today, I just said that it is not easy to meet a person like Master Songping, but three of them came here at once!" The man smiled happily, exaggerating but also showing enthusiasm.Ji Zong sat down and nodded to Ji Tong, who returned the salute and signaled her to be free.Following Jitong's gestures, she found a row of men kneeling by the wall, saying that the men were exaggerating, they were probably fifteen or sixteen-year-old children.There is a boy in the middle, wearing a white shirt and a begonia-colored wide-sleeved Wu suit, with a bun and no lips drawn. He looks clean and delicate, and stands out among the boys who are wearing makeup and powder. .

Ji Zong felt that his eyes stayed there for less than a second, and he heard the human voice, "Xiao Lin, hurry up and help the adults pour wine." .Ji Zong thought to himself, it is really 360 lines, and the number one scholar can be achieved in every line. With this vision, you can't underestimate others.She smiled at the man, but the man just responded with a smile, instead of saying anything or laughing exaggeratedly.

Xiao Lin stepped forward, knelt and sat on Ji Zong's left, with one hand covering his sleeve and the other pouring wine. His white wrists seemed to have no joints, his Wu clothes were loose, and his chest was looming.

"Hehe, don't tell me, the two of you look like a good match." Ji Tong took a sip of wine from the hand of the beautiful man beside him, leaned crookedly on the man's body, and naturally put his hand on the man's leg to support him. .She said this a bit frivolously, which implied belittling Ji Zong.Ji Zong smiled, and said politely, "The two of you are more suitable." Ji Tong changed his face slightly, and Ji Zong said what he said along with himself, and returned the meaning implied in the words completely.Ji Tong snorted softly, cast his eyes at the man beside him, and immediately felt that he was not as pleasing to the eye as before.

There was also a man beside Tokugawa Tsunajo, but his age was younger than those around Yoshitsu and Yoshimune. He looked about twelve or thirteen years old, and his small red mouth stood out on his snow-white face.Yoshimune didn't know why, but suddenly remembered the scene when Tsunajo and Mamiyari flirted with each other when they passed Oigawa, and felt a little nervous.Gang Tiao looks serious, but he can let go here, chatting and laughing with the boy beside him.

The difference of Ji Zong's non-native creatures appeared again. She was really not used to how to visit this brothel and how to get along with men.However, Ji Tong didn't embarrass her for too long. When everyone was here, she waved her hand, and the bustard led a group of boys to retreat, and the guards also retreated into the small hall outside.After people left one after another, they found that there was only one person left in the room. Ji Zong thought, in fact, it is no wonder that brothels are good places to collect information.It's really not easy to attract attention with so many people and few people. At least, when she first came in, she didn't find a fourth woman in the room.

This woman was in her early thirties, very capable, and her Wufu was of excellent texture, but in front of the three of them, although she was the oldest, her posture was very humble.

"I'm looking for two people to come today, mainly to talk about the 'Queen's Gold'." Tokugawa Yoshitsu said in a grandiose manner.To put it bluntly, this "imperial gold" is a tax collected temporarily. At this time, it is the beginning of the change, and the financial situation of each family is not very good, so the cost is shared among the merchants.When Ji Tong said so, Ji Zong also understood the purpose of this visit. It is estimated that the person in front of him is a businessman, and he is also a wealthy businessman. If he wants to ask them to inquire about or adjust the "Queen's Gold", there are naturally benefits. Yes, no one is short of money now, and businessmen have nothing, just a lot of money.It's just that Jitong came forward to greet himself and Gangjo. If it was for this matter, it would be a bit exaggerated. Although Japan does not pay much attention to seniority, and the relationship between relatives is also very chaotic, but Jitong said that she and Gangjo are the same. Seniors!

"The villain Mitsui Jun, I have seen the three Highnesses." The man buried his head very low, his waist slumped.

When Ji Zong heard the name of this person, his eyes flashed.When she wanted to reorganize the economy of the feudal clan, she had a real understanding of the current economic situation.To put it bluntly, businessmen have very low status, and they can only rely on marriage and adoption to improve their status.A wealthy businessman with weak connections, in this era, is a piece of fat without an owner.I just don't know whether this person is looking for a backer or an ally.There is a big difference, but Tokugawa Yoshitsuka called them here, certainly not because he didn't want to swallow this piece of fat, it was probably too fat to eat in one bite.Moreover, the surname "Mitsui" is also a businessman, and it can be found on the head of the Yusan family, which is basically that family.

Which family is the Mitsui family?In his previous life, Yoshimune knew about Japan's "Mitsui Zaibatsu" even though he was ignorant of the economy and current affairs.Therefore, in this life, when she checked the information, she paid special attention to this Mitsui. Although she didn't know if this was the "Mitsui" of later generations, this "Mitsui" was not simple.The Mitsui family originated in Heian-kyo, and it has only gone through three generations, covering almost all industries, especially the "Echizenya" and "Two Replacement Shops" are basically their family's industries.What are they all for?The former is a clothing store, and the latter is a bank for exchanging gold and silver coins.It seems that the general also focused his attention on this piece of fat, wanting to swallow it.However, for the Mitsui family to have the current scale, they are naturally not vegetarians, they want to find a way out.

Gangtiao is an incompetent person who is not in charge of general affairs, and she is not in charge of the finances of the feudal clan, and she feels that she has a certain identity when she has acquainted with a businessman, so when Ji Tong came and slightly hinted at the identity of this person, she ignored him.Ji Zong lowered his eyes, poured a glass of wine, and drank it.The wine at this time is a bit like rice wine, pure and sweet, more like an alcoholic drink.

"Mitsui, tell me." Jitong saw that the two people on the left and right were drinking without making a sound, and was a little angry. She couldn't swallow this piece of fat, so she had to unite the two, but she didn't want to give too much benefit to him. they.That's why she forced herself to support the game, and wanted to tell the Mitsui family that only she could help.

"Yes, Your Highness. Your Highnesses, the 'imperial gold' levied this time is too high. Therefore, the villain dared to think, can I ask everyone to come forward to mediate and see if I can pay less." Jun Mitsui stood up , glanced at the expressions of everyone present, and then said, "Of course, after the matter is completed, the devotion of the three families to the general this year will be honored by the villain."

What a big tone!Ji Zong thought.The dedication of the three of them for a year is quite a lot!The general asked the Mitsui family how much "imperial gold" they asked for.You must know that a businessman seeks profit, and the greater the interest, the greater the risk he is willing to take.On the contrary, this matter of gouging out the flesh from the businessman also gave the profit-heavy businessman the courage to take risks.Fortunately, in this era, classes are clearly defined, merchants cannot rebel, and money cannot hire mercenaries.General Tokugawa Ienoki seems to be ambitious, but he is also incomprehensible in general affairs.If she swallowed Mitsui forcefully, it would not be impossible. However, the wool came from the sheep, and in the end it was the shogunate who would bear the consequences of the economic collapse.However, maybe the general doesn't think so, because the unlucky ones are just the common people.However, water can carry a boat and it can capsize it. Now that it has been severely damaged, people's life is difficult, and if it gets worse.

Yoshimune thought to himself, it's also her fault for not being interested in Japanese history. In her previous life, she didn't know how many years the shogunate lasted, and how many generations the Tokugawa shogunate went through!I only know that it started with Ieyasu Tokugawa, but who is the Terminator?Then I thought, so what if I know, it is still an upside-down era, and how much will it overlap with the original history?She frowned rarely, thinking about it.
