Before Lin Xiuzhen finished speaking, Shan Keyan showed a look of embarrassment, and then said hesitantly, "This matter, that's it, leave this matter to me for the time being, you two wait here for the time being, let me go and inquire about Guan Baidian!" ”

Yamashina Yanji originally wanted to refuse, but he couldn't save face, and the money that came to the door, although only 100 was for himself, but it's better than nothing, right?

Seeing that Yamagina inherited the trust of the Oda family, Oda Nobumitsu and Lin Xiuzhen breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said gratefully, "Thank you for the power of the Great Nayan Palace, this family has a sense of guilt!" ”

"Well said, well said!" Yamashina Yanji's face was a little unnatural, but he still replied slowly, "With my relationship with Dan Masatadashi (Oda Shinta, Oda Nobunaga's grandfather) and Owari Mamoru father and son, this little favor is naturally not enough to worry about!" ”

Although Yamashina Yanji's official position is a powerful Nayan, his background is not as noble as the first, second, nine, and Konoe ministers of the Seki family, and Yamashina Yanji is only from the "Yulin family".

At that time, Yamashina Yanji did not occupy the high position of the powerful Nayan as he is now, but he was only a young assistant in the palace under the fifth position, mainly responsible for managing the affairs of the palace such as the income and expenditure of the royal family, food and clothing, and miscellaneous affairs, and also shouldered a always important mission - to run around for the financial revival of the imperial court! To put it mildly, it is to ask for money everywhere!

Yamashina Yanji has two main goals, one is to reach out to the daimyo and the people of the country to ask for money. The second is to ask the daimyo to restore the "imperial material land" that had been embezzled by the imperial court. However, due to the chaos of the times, there were fights everywhere, and the authority of the shogunate had basically collapsed since the Onin Rebellion, not to mention the ministers who had little power. Naturally, Yamashina has achieved very little success.

Yamashina Yanji ran all over the Daimyo territories in Kinai, Tokaido and other places, but they all touched a nose of ashes, but only Oda Nobuta, Oda Nobuta, Oda Nobuhide father and son of Owari were courteous to Yamashina Yanji. Not only did he serve delicious food and drink, but he also sent someone to Kyoto from time to time to send a sum of money to Yamashina Yanji, and the relationship between the two sides became very close.

For example, in the second year of Astronomy, Yamashina and Asukai Masatsuna were invited to Owari to teach the countrymen and the art of singing and kemari, and were warmly entertained by Oda Nobuhide.

In fact, the friendship between Oda Nobuhide and Yamashina Yantsugu is, in a sense, equal and mutually beneficial.

First of all, Oda Nobuhide's father, Oda Nobuta, was only a fellow member of the Oda clan of the Owari guardian generation, and was born into the Oda Yamato Mamoru family, who ruled the four lower prefectures of Owari, and became one of the three Cheongsu commissioners as a retainer. Therefore, in the strict sense, Oda Nobuhide and his son are just a branch of the Owari Oda clan, or a retainer!

Such an identity means that Oda Nobuhide and his son cannot contact the minister who is too noble, but Yamashina Yanji is just right.

For Yamashina Yanji, the powerful daimyo and guardians such as the Asakura family, the Rokkaku family, and the Toki family are all regents like the Ichijo clan and the Nijo clan, and no matter how bad they are, they are also the ministers of the Tsinghua family such as the Kikutei clan and Saionji, and Yamashina Yanji, who was born in the Habayashi family, can only deal with the retainers under the command of powerful samurai such as Oda Nobuta's father and son.

Of course, although Oda Nobuhide and his son are nominally the "retainers" of the Oda clan of the Owari guardian generation, they are extremely independent and can already be regarded as a force alone, so Yamashina Kenji is also very concerned about his friendship with Oda Nobuhide.

After letting Oda Nobumitsu and the others stay where they were, Yamashina slowly retreated into the courtyard, and then came to the side of Ichijo with his sleeves up, and whispered, "Guan Baidian, can you take a step to speak?" ”

A fang tong, who was meditating on a song, was suddenly interrupted, and he didn't like it in his heart, but he calmed down a little after seeing that it was Yamashina Yanji, and then followed Yamashina Yanji to the side. After standing still, Ichijo Fang Tong yawned, and then asked impatiently, "Yanji, is there anything important?" ”

"Sekihakuden, Oda Owari Mamoru of Owari sent his retainers to Kyoto to find Zaixia. The son of Oda Owari Mamoru has just been served, hoping to seek an official career, so he is willing to offer 500 to the imperial court, and he came to inquire about it, but he didn't know what Guan Bai's palace wanted? Yamashina asked cautiously.

After listening to Yamashina's words, Ichiban-dori replied with a disdainful face, "If it is only 500 guan, only 200 kan will come into my hands, and His Majesty the Emperor should have a surplus of 300 kan, so let's give the position of second lieutenant of the left guard from the seventh." ”

After finishing speaking, a Fang Tong suddenly said to Yamashina Yanji seriously, "Yanji, you still have to learn from the head of Xiyuan Temple, I heard about the trip to Okuyu, the head of Xiyuan Temple has caught a lot of good things in Jinchuan's house." That set of Ming porcelain is very red even if I see it. ”

"Instead of socializing with people from the countryside like the Oda family, it's better to make more friends with my cheap son-in-law! My son-in-law is much more generous than that Oda Nobuhide father and son! As he spoke, Ichiban-tong meaningfully tapped Yamashina Yanji on the shoulder with the folding fan in his hand, and then returned to his position with a look of vigour.

Yamashina stood in place in a daze, carefully reflected on what Fang Tong said, and suddenly felt that it made sense! He received a benefit fee of 100 yuan for the son of Oda Nobuhide's son, and he owed a favor in front of a house.

And it is said that Tsugawa Soji made a gift to the minister of Kyoto for hundreds of times, and in contrast, Yamashina suddenly felt that he needed to take the time to take the initiative to visit Tsugawa Soji. The posture can even be lowered, after all, Tsugawa Soji is now Sekihaku's son-in-law, and the Kujo family's Kujo Shitsu is also his father-in-law....... Wait, in this way, once I make friends with Tsugawa Soji, wouldn't it mean that I have a smooth relationship with the Ichijo and Kujo families?

In addition, I heard that the relationship between Tsugawa Soji and the Konoe family and the Nijo family is also very harmonious....... Hiss....... The door of a new century seemed to suddenly open in front of Yamashina Yanji, and Yamashina Yanji instantly understood something!

.......

"What! Just from the rank of seven on the left guard ensign? 500 guan plus the mediation of the power of the big name, no matter how bad a six-ranked kosuke should be no problem, right? After learning the final result from Yamashina Yanji's mouth, Lin Xiuzhen and Oda Nobumitsu were directly blinded, why did they buy one from seven places for 500 yuan? When did the official position of the imperial court become so expensive?

Yamashina Yanji looked back at the direction of the courtyard, and then pulled Lin Xiuzhen and Oda Nobumitsu to the corridor not far away, and whispered, "The two of you don't know, recently, the head of the Okuba Daimyo Tsugawa family, the right guard general of the Tsugawa Right Guard, went to Luo, and offered gifts to the imperial court and His Majesty the Emperor as much as 17,000 yuan. ”

"Relatively speaking, I'm afraid Owari Mamoru ...... 500 guan" In other words, Oda Nobuhide gave you a few hundred guan is indeed a little shabby!

Yamashina Yanji said that I am also very helpless, it's not that the official position of the imperial court has become expensive, but there is really a big guy who is raising the price of B!
