Chapter 30: The Shop
After negotiating the arrangements of the people of the Wasuka Party, the clan saw that it was getting late, so he had to spend one more day here.
During this day, the clan informed the three of them that the Oda family was going to build a castle in Sumamata, and asked them to prepare more logging tools and ropes, but the clan did not tell them what they wanted to prepare for the sake of the clan, so as to prevent anyone from leaking the secrets. After everything was arranged, the clan and Maeda Toshiya returned to Owari.
Not long after returning to Owari, I received a report from Yamada Nagamasa that the casino could finally be officially opened after half a year of construction.
The clan was very excited to follow Yamada Nagamasa to the front of this shop, which cost more than 2,000 yuan, only to see that this shop has three floors, and there is no window paper on the windows, but instead there are bright pieces of glass. The glass alone attracts the attention of many passers-by.
The exterior wall of the store is white, and there is a one-meter-high sky-blue wooden wall below, after the demolition and reconstruction, there is only one foot and two wide gates, and the gate is also made of glass, but because it is not possible to make such a large piece of glass now, it can only be spliced with small pieces of glass of one inch square and different colors, which not only does not affect the appearance, but adds a mysterious atmosphere.
In this era, the price of glass is comparable to gold, just to see such doors and windows, generally people who have no identity dare not even enter. In terms of the value of appearance, such a shop can be considered extremely luxurious even if it is placed in a prosperous place like Kai, let alone in Owari Province.
Inside, the first floor of the shop is covered with a dark red carpet, each table is separated by an intricately carved screen, and there are more than a dozen huts around the walls, each of which also has a table, such a room for the samurai who do not like to be noisy.
When you come to the second floor, there is no hall here, all of them are independent rooms, and from time to time you can see a few cases in the corner of the wall, and you can see the terrestrial decorations, Western clocks and other Nanban decorations.
On the walls are several of Kano Eitoku's masterpieces, and although Kano is not as famous as he was in the future, his talent has already been revealed, and it won't be long before the price of each painting here will increase tenfold and hundredfold. As for the third floor of the store, unlike the lower two floors, there are only four luxurious large rooms for banquets.
In the backyard, the original bungalows have disappeared, and a small two-story building has been built in their place, where guests can rest and relax.
After turning the shop around, Yamada Nagamasa cautiously asked, "Lord, are you satisfied with this place?" ”
Clan Zong nodded with a smile, although it is still a lot different from the casinos of later generations, but in this era, it is definitely a super-first-class store.
Seeing that the lord was satisfied, Yamada Nagamasa's original heart finally let go. Immediately said: "Since this shop has been changed, it is a little inappropriate to call it Yamadaya again, and please give the name to the lord!" ”
After thinking about it, the clan said, "It's better to call it the sparrow house." ”
"Yes, the subordinates are celebrities who make plaques. If the lord has no other instructions, his subordinates want to open tomorrow. ”
The clan nodded, but in order to attract more samurai to come to consume, under the instruction of the clan, the first three days of the sparrow house were set to be free of charge, not only the service, the meals were free, and even the water tea house in the back was all free, and this alone could attract many samurai to come. Now the entertainment industry in Owari is really complaining.
In the next three days, the sparrow house was full almost every day, and there was even a waiting situation, at first it was only the direct ministers of the Oda family who came in and out here, but from the next day, there were many courtiers, and the power also appeared here, and the sparrow house could not only let them gamble in hiding, but also enjoy the best quality service of the whole Owari.
However, as soon as these three days pass, the price of consumption in it is not what those low-level samurai can afford. So they take all the time to enjoy here.
In addition to one gold card, there are five silver cards and ten bronze cards left, and in the eyes of the samurai of the Oda family and the wealthy merchants of Owari, it is definitely a symbol of status and financial resources to be able to have a membership card of the Sparrow House. ,
After three days, the Sparrow House was suddenly deserted, and some low-ranking samurai could only try it for free, and they could never afford to spend it with their pitiful money.
The small shop next to the Sparrow House was also bought by the clan, and now it has become his place to stay in Cheongju City. At this moment, in front of the clan, Yamada Nagamasa was excitedly making a report. "Lord, the total income of the Sparrow House in the past five days is 3,600 yuan, of which the gold card has not been sold, the silver card has been sold a total of four, the bronze card has been sold eight, the other expenses are 600 yuan, and the expenditure is 200 yuan."
Kagawa Tadaji also said excitedly: "Lord, now the family's money has exceeded 6,000 yuan. ”
"Ha Luha, yes, the two of you have worked really hard for more than half a year, each of you will receive 50 pieces as a reward."
"My subordinates, thank you for the reward." Kagawa Tadaji and Yamada Nagamasa listened to the great joy, they only have 60 guan a year, and now the lord is happy to reward 50 per person, it seems that the lord will be happy and happy in the future.
Just after the two of them thanked each other, Maeda Toshiya suddenly shouted loudly at the door: "Lord, the main hall is here, hurry up and come out to greet you." ”
The clan jumped up with a loud voice, and didn't answer, and ran directly towards the door.
It's not because of how much respect he has for Nobunaga, it's all because Nobunaga's living golden sign is here. As long as Nobunaga can be happy, then the sparrow house will not be rich in the future.
The clan clan trotted all the way to Nobunaga, and hurriedly saluted and said: "The subordinate Gaoshan clan sect sees the lord, and the subordinates don't know that the lord is coming, and they are not welcome, so please forgive the lord." ”
Nobunaga has heard about the popularity of the sparrow house in the past two days, and a person like him has long been very indifferent to money, although he knows that the Qianbei is making a profit from it, but first, he has acquiesced to this matter before, and second, he can see that the retainers have communicated with each other.
And in his opinion, the membership system set up by the clan is very much in line with his appetite, this system makes the retainers have the desire to win, and if they want to get a membership card, they can only continue to make meritorious contributions to get promoted and obtain higher salaries. Therefore, Nobunaga also turned a blind eye to the fact that the clan was making money through this.
"Alright, get up and talk."
After hearing that Nobunaga had a gentle tone and did not mean to blame, the clan said cautiously: "Lord, my subordinates have specially made a membership card for you, this card is only one, and it will not be sold to the public in the future, please accept it with a smile." After speaking, Yamada Nagamasa walked over with a tray in his eye. Kneeling on the ground, he held the tray in front of Nobunaga. In the middle of the tray was a card studded with gold and gemstones.
Nobunaga held the card in his hand and said as he played with it, "I took this card." After speaking, he said to the clan: "How do you feel under Quan Liu's hand recently?" ”
"Shibata-sama trusts his subordinates very much, and usually takes great care of them. But...... The subordinates still want to follow the lord. "This is the heart of the clan, Shibata Katsuya is very good to himself, but after all, he is just a retainer, what future can he have with him.
Nobunaga snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, before you make a great achievement, you don't have to think about this matter anymore." After saying that, Nobunaga didn't want to listen to the clan's explanation, so he got up and left the place.
The clan thought to himself, isn't it just meritorious service, it's not easy, Sakuma, Sakuma, how can you not fail, Lao Tzu is still waiting for this day.
