Pillars of the Wu family

()Since dozens of people from Kira's family entered the Huanhao River Road on the outskirts of Sakai-cho, Yamaoka Zenjiro has been opening his mouth wide open, as if everything in Sakai-cho would shock him so much that he cannot be described in words, like him The unseen ground turtle's appearance quickly aroused the ridicule of the businessmen during the trip, and Kira Wansongmaru felt that in order to save the only face he had, it was better to tactfully nod.

"Zenjiro, what should Sakai-machi look like?"

"Sakaimachi should be a huge town?" Yamaoka Zenjiro's eyes were still staring at the row upon row of buildings not far away, and he didn't even notice how rude he was.

"I know! My father has been there, and there are many towns, big and small!" Keijiro Takigawa immediately jumped out to show off.

"Asshole! Don't interrupt when the owner is asking questions!" Shan Gang Zenjiro picked up the bamboo hat and hit him hard, and the latter covered his head and ran away with his mouth curled up.

"Ah! It's finally healed! Zenjiro's soul has finally returned to his body! Just now, our family was very worried that Zenjiro would step out and sink into the water!" Kira Wansongmaru looked surprised and suddenly realized, picked up the folding fan and knocked On his forehead, recite a few Tantric mantras silently: "Wake up! Zenjiro! Your father is about to catch up on his horse!"

Looking at the funny Kira Manmatsumaru there, he would describe him in a ghostly way. He used to climb a tree to pick the peaches protruding from the yard of Himaru in Saijo Castle. He was found by a maid and reported to his father. Zenjiro who escaped was chased by his father on a horse. The glorious history of whipping half of the castle town on the spot, Yamaoka Zenjiro looked embarrassed and helpless: "Uh... my lord!"

"Well! Let's go in quickly!" As soon as the boat docked, Kira Manmatsumaru jumped onto the pier and walked briskly into the crowd.

"Ah! Pavilion...Your Highness, wait for me!"

As Takigawa Keijiro said, Sakaimachi is just the name of a city where a collection of towns is gathered. In this irregular circular city, it is divided into dozens of towns, large and small, such as Nakanomachi, Sakaimatsucho, and Shuirakucho. , Kai-cho, Yanagi-cho, Yakuya-cho, Kushiya-cho, Shinmei-cho, Minami-cho, and other strange names.

It is only after entering Sakaimachi that one realizes how prosperous the cities of medieval Japan were. It is difficult to appreciate the highest level of medieval Japanese economy in the dilapidated Kyomachi after experiencing the devastation of the Warring States Period. Unlike dilapidated Kyoto, there are ruins everywhere There is a brand-new courtyard standing in the middle of the city. When you enter Youjing District, you must be careful about your own safety and security. This is a truly safe and prosperous city.

Walking in Sakaimachi, you can occasionally meet a group of samurai holding swords, spears, and wearing Wufu with two red characters of "Concentric". Patrolling back and forth within the period, these people are the public security and law enforcement agency under the Nawuzhong, and the name is Tongxinzhong.

The Concentric Congregation is composed of the internal elections of the townspeople and the votes of the ronin samurai who have lived in Sakaicho for many years. These people are responsible for maintaining the law and order of Sakaicho and handling criminal cases. For these rich and powerful businessmen, there is nothing like peace and quiet. The trading environment is more worthy of their attention, and they are willing to try anything that can maintain their business without interference. This is the case for paying "money" to Miyoshi Changqing, and the same is true for building a group of people.

"I don't think they are very good. They just wear the same clothes! It's really rude to be arrogant! If I were in Saijo City, I would definitely teach them a lesson and let them know how to respect ..."

"Hey! Zenjiro! They're looking at you, so hurry up!"

"Oh! Let's go!" Yamaoka Zenjiro fled in despair.

If Yamaoka Zenjiro was the only one who was ashamed just now, now several people are embarrassing together. Except for Kira Manmatsumaru and Nakajo Hidetaka who can maintain their composure, the horseback warriors from Mikawa and the small surnames all waited with their eyes wide open. Yes, when I saw a group of people gathered around performing ape music, I stretched my neck long, wishing I could squeeze in and have a look.

The residents of Sakaimachi seem to be used to this kind of people who have never seen the world. From time to time, there are always such a group of old folks from the countryside who come to Sakaicho and put on an expression with their mouths wide open and their eyes wide open. People, the residents of Sakai-cho are full of pride and pride, Ala is a big city person, and it is better for people from a small place like Lennon to stay far away.

As a result, the group of Kira's family became unwelcome people, and they had to be shunned wherever they went, as if seeing a plague god. The stupid Mahui samurai didn't know what was going on, so he had to grab a mouthful of local turtles and three rivers He asked passers-by: "Why are you avoiding me? I don't smell bad! I took a bath the day before yesterday!"

……

Kira Wansongmaru resolutely chose to take a detour and watch on the sidelines, thinking repeatedly in his heart: "Che, although it looks good, it is definitely weaker than the future! What big city can compare with Angel City? Can it compare with Twisted Waist? It's floating clouds!"

The power of psychological warfare is infinite, and soon Kira Wansongwan greeted the cold eyes and disdain with full confidence. Anyway, you are all scum with only five combat effectiveness, so don’t care what you think. Next to Zenjiro Yamaoka, he whispered: "Don't watch it, I will let you watch it slowly when I have a chance in the future, we should go!"

Dozens of people, with either inexplicable or reluctant expressions, walked towards Nakanomachi, the central business district of Sakaicho. This is not only the center of Sakaicho, but also the most commercially developed area in Sakaicho. The office of the congregation is located in Here, many large commercial houses also set up their headquarters in this town. Of course, the destination of this trip, Tennoji House, is also on this street.

Tianwang Temple House is a three-storey attic, very typical of the Ming Dynasty architectural style with cornices and corners. It was probably at the level of a large restaurant in Shuntian Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty, but it is the head office of one of the best big companies in Japan, especially It is extremely eye-catching among the piles of low-rise buildings, and from here we can also see the luxury business spirit of the Tsuda family from the side.

The Tsuda family was originally the lord of Sakai Nanzhuang near Sakaicho. The initial 36-person Nawuzhong initiated a joint meeting in this Sakai Nanzhuang. This place is next to Izumi. Designated resort Sakamoto Imperial Palace.

Because of the unique geographical environment of Sakai Nanzhuang, it has also become a secret point for the Nawu people to discuss things in the next hundred years. This alone makes the position of the Tsuda family in the Nawu people unbreakable. With the strong rise of the Tsuda family, it becomes more and more unstoppable.

Tsuda Zongbai, the previous head of the Tsuda family, is a very powerful cultural person. He learned the tea ceremony from Murata Zhuguang. Peony Xiao Bai, who is a fairy of 36 foreign songs, learns Lian Ge, and thus gets the ancient and modern teachings. It is also in his hands that the Tsuda family rises in Sakaicho.

The Tsuda family business was then passed on to Zongbai's eldest son, Tsuda Sotatsu, who was born in the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty and is in his 50s this year. The head of the Tennoji House is also very powerful. His father, Tsuda Zongbai, relied on the influence of singing to get acquainted with many officials in Kyoto, and he made great efforts to make friends with officials in Kyoto and became the most famous businessman in Sakaimachi in Kyoto.
