Chapter 143 Gifts and Exchanges
Although the Maeda family is willing to provide reinforcements free of charge, but the clan can't just be so black and don't mention it, if this is the case, in the future, the family will encounter difficulties again, who else is willing to help, military expenses must be given, not only to give, but also to give more, as long as the Maeda family tastes the sweetness, if you want to borrow troops in the future, it will be much easier.
Thinking of this, I only heard the clan said: "Please thank Maeda-sama for me, Maeda-sama's high righteousness, the clan will keep it in mind, if his Maeda family needs the clan sect, please don't be polite." β
"Hehe, Takayama-sama is polite, the Maeda family and the Takayama family have a close relationship, and it is really appropriate to send troops to help." Okumura Yongfu said politely.
"Having said that, since Maeda-sama is willing to send troops to help, how can the clan not say something, I will take out 500 kan as military expenses for reinforcements, and please don't shirk."
After Okumura Yongfu finished, his heart was very excited, he had already thought before he came that the wealthy Takayama clan would definitely not be without a dime, but he really didn't expect that the other party actually gave five hundred military expenses at once, which was far beyond his expectations.
If the 500 guan military expenses are really collected, this time the army, the Maeda family will not only not suffer a loss, but can also make a lot of money from it, but if this is the case, this favor cannot be owed by the Takayama clan, and in the long run, it is obviously better to accept these 500 than not to collect it.
But this is 500 yuan, and now the Maeda family lacks the most money, if there is this money, it can do a lot of things, and even arm all the existing 200 ashigaru, should it be collected? It's a real headache.
After hesitating for a moment, Okumura Yongfu still felt that only by not charging the 500 military expenses could the Maeda family benefit the most, he hurriedly excused himself and said: "Lord Takayama is really too polite, since my lord has already explained that he is providing reinforcements free of charge, if he really brings back the 500 military expenses, he will inevitably be punished by the lord, so he will never dare to bring this money back, and please take it back." β
The clan said with a pleasant smile: "Hehe, this is the intention of the clan clan, don't shirk it, if the clan is still in trouble with the Maeda family in the future, then I won't be able to speak, and please ask the lord to accept the money reluctantly." β
After speaking, the clan said to Kagawa Tadaji: "You go and prepare 500 military expenses now, and when Okumura-sama leaves, give it to your lord." β
Kagawa Tadaji thought to himself, the Maeda family said that it was provided for free, and the lord had to give it, isn't this full of food, the family does have some money now, but it's not a strong wind, isn't it? However, although he thinks so in his heart, he is also a person who understands the general situation, even if he has something to say, but now that there are outsiders present, he must not say what is in his heart, otherwise his family will definitely be discredited.
Thinking of this, Kagawa Tadaji left the hall unhappily after answering, and went down to prepare for military expenses.
Looking at the back of Kagawa Tadaji's departure, Okumura Nagasuki is now not to mention how excited he is, not only is he getting five hundred times, but also looking at the meaning of Takayama-sama, it seems that he still owes a debt to the Maeda family, and when he returns to the wasteland, the lord will definitely praise it, maybe his identity can be mentioned up.
Okumura Nagasuki suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "Since Takayama-sama's heart has been decided, then I will be ashamed of the lord, and if Takayama-sama has orders in the future, the Maeda family will do their best to help." β
After Okumura Nagafuku finished speaking, he continued: "Please forgive me for taking the liberty of the next day, I don't know when Takayama-sama will go out of the army? After returning to Wasteland City, let the lord prepare as soon as possible. β
The clan thought about it, this matter can't be delayed, otherwise the 8,000 stone Zhixing will be dragged, thinking that the Maeda family has already implemented the system of separating soldiers and peasants, and if the ashigaru mobilization is carried out, it will be about the same in half a day, and from Shimoshe City to Arashiko City, two days is enough time to come and go, even if it is rich, three days is enough, thinking of this, I only heard Shizong say: "I plan to lead the army to attack Gujo Hachiman Castle in three days, I wonder if the Maeda family can come to Shimosha Castle to meet?" β
Okumura Yongfu thought about it, and three days seemed a little nervous, but there shouldn't be any big problems, so he hurriedly replied: "Please rest assured, the one hundred and fifty elite banners of the family the day before yesterday will definitely come to join the adult's army within three days." β,
"Then there's Lord Law."
The matter has been negotiated, and Okumura Yongfu should have left, but his coming to discuss reinforcements with the Takayama clan is only one of them, and the other thing is the matter of the alliance between the two families.
Although the two families had a verbal agreement before, he also understood that this was really not very reliable, and it was more reassuring to be written in black and white, and now that the Maeda family was in a weak position, if he could pull such a strong reinforcement from the Takayama clan, he would be completely relieved.
Therefore, when he set off from Wasteland City, he had already thought about sending reinforcements to rejoice his heart, and then talked about forming an alliance.
I saw Okumura Yongfu take out two identical codexes from his arms, and said: "Lord Takayama, there was an offensive and defensive alliance agreement between the family and the Takayama family before, but they did not sign the alliance, and now it is the time for the family to change owners, so I think it is better to sign an agreement, I don't know what Lord Takayama wants?" β
The Gaoshan clan thought to himself, the current people are really snobbish, back then he licked his face and went to the door to ask for an alliance, but people were just perfunctory, and now as soon as the family is big, the other party wants to come to the knot, alas, the people are warm and cold, and the world is hot and cold. However, I think so, but even if I rush to the face of the Maeda Toshi's family, this agreement can't be signed, otherwise how should I face the number one general in the family?
Thinking of this, the clan still kept smiling, took one of the codex from Okumura Yongfuku's hand, and quickly browsed it, only to see that the content on it was not much different from what he said at the beginning, it was nothing more than the clichΓ© saying that one party was in trouble and the other party was supporting. Anyway, the alliance with it will not affect the development of the family, so the clan clan simply signed his name on the two codexes.
After the Takayama clan and Okumura Yongfu each received a contract, they only heard Okumura Yongfu say: "Lord Takayama, time is pressing, if your lord has no more orders, then I will retire first." β
The clan sect was no longer polite to him, and after waiting for Kagawa Tadaji to hand over the 500 kanjin small sentence to him, he personally sent him out of the door.
