Chapter 13 Drink it all
"It doesn't matter, the Lord of the Sect Realm is a business giant with dozens or millions of dollars, and it is my honor to be able to look down on me. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info" Kuroda said coldly as the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
"Kuroda-sama said with a smile, the Kuroda family is a number of forces in the western country, and there is a faint tendency to unify the western country, and Kuroda-sama is the eldest son of the Kuroda family, and it is only a matter of time before he inherits the Kuroda family in the future. No matter how powerful a merchant is, no matter how many resources he wields, and how much money he can mobilize, in the eyes of the samurai, he is just a pariah. A German decree, nothing is left. ”
The Tokusa Shogunate was first issued by the Kamakura Shogunate in the 5th year of Eihito (1279) for the purpose of providing relief to the imperial family (the samurai class directly under the shogunate). The decree stipulates that the imperial family may not sell or pawn the domain to a non-imperial family, and that the imperial family territory that has already been acquired by a non-imperial family member must be returned free of charge, and the shogunate will no longer accept litigation disputes related to the loan of the imperial family.
The decree was actually very simple, that is, the samurai could not sell their land to non-samurai, as long as it referred to the wealthy merchants, and the land acquired by the wealthy merchants had to be returned to the samurai, and the shogunate was oriented towards the samurai based on disputes arising from the sale and purchase of land.
Since then, in order to consolidate their rule, the shogunate has issued several Tokugawa decrees. It was all about invalidating the land transactions of the royal family with the merchants and relieving the debts, although the target was extended to the lower classes such as the peasants, but the core of it was to attack the power of the merchant class to obtain land, which is why the Juesenya clan had just mentioned the De Decree.
In feudal society, rulers generally attached more importance to agriculture, for example, the Ming Kingdom had a tradition of dividing economic status such as Shi Nong and Shang since ancient times, and the same tradition was also shared in Goryeo and Wa Kingdom, which were cultural recipients. Although the merchant has an innumerable amount of money in his hands, he can confiscate it at any time for any reason if the ruler really needs it, which is the sorrow of the merchant in this era. At the same time, this is also the reason why wealthy merchants everywhere have to find a reliable name to serve as their royal merchant.
"Okay, let's not talk about that." Kuroda smirked and deliberately took the matter.
"My lord, come and taste my tea art." Although the Jueshenya Sect Realm looked a little disappointed, it immediately recovered, and said with a smile and pointed to the tea bowl in front of Kuroda Vocational High School.
Kuroda Vocational High School picked up the tea bowl, and at first glance, it was Kuroda yaki, which was still more valuable. The corners of Kuroda's mouth curled again, and without saying anything, he drank the tea soup in the tea bowl in one gulp.
Musato Takayu and Hattori Masanari didn't react, because these two big bosses didn't understand what the tea ceremony was, but the whole sect of Enryakuji Temple took a breath, what is the young master going to do?
When I first came in, the whole sect of Enryakuji Temple had already noticed that the young man in the Jueshenya sect was very proficient in tea art, whether it was washing tea sets, grinding tea powder, and then preparing tea soup, it was all one and a glance, and he was definitely a descendant of the tea ceremony of thousands of schools. Because Enryakuji Monzong himself is a member of this way, and he has seen Sen no Rikyu's tea ceremony with his own eyes, so he can see it at a glance.
But the situation of the young master, he also knows, although he is not proficient in the tea ceremony, but he still knows a little bit about the rules of the tea ceremony, and he should definitely not make such a rude act now. But the young master is definitely not a reckless person, on the contrary, he is a master of figuring out people's hearts, so it can only be explained that he did it on purpose.
The teacup Kuroda Vocational High School drank it all, and said at the end: "It's so bitter." Then he put down the tea bowl in his hand.
Seeing Kuroda Vocational High School's actions, the eyes of the Jueshenya Sect were round, don't look at his wisdom, but after all, the age is there, how can he be the opponent of Kuroda Vocational High School, an old fritter who has been a human for two lives.
"This ...... Kuroda-sama, you're really bold! Jue Shenwu Sect Realm said embarrassedly.
"To be honest, I don't like the so-called tea ceremony of the Wakoku country. Tea is the best tea when it is placed in hot water (not boiling water) and allowed to diffuse its aroma on its own. This is the way of drinking tea in the Ming Kingdom, simple but not simple, whether it is tea or water, and even the temperature of this water is exquisite, but other details have not been paid so much attention. Kuroda said with a smile.
"Does Kuroda-sama know a lot about the tea ceremony?" The Jue Shen House Sect asked with some confusion.
"I don't know about tea, I just know that Ming people drink tea like this, the so-called tea, is just a thirst-quenching drink, if it is because of the emphasis on the way of drinking tea, emphasizing what to do at each step, how to be right, this itself is putting the cart before the horse, tea is used to drink, tea ceremony is not drinking tea, just an art. I'm a rough man, and I only know that tea is for drinking, so when I was thirsty, I drank it in one gulp. If you really go to play art, all of you will be really thirsty to death! For example, the Ouchi family, and the Imagawa family. ”
Kuroda's words actually have two meanings, the first is that he doesn't like the Jueshenya Sect Realm to go around in circles with himself like this now, he hopes that the Jueshenya Sect Realm will quickly say something practical, instead of wasting time here, he is an impatient person.
Second, it is to tell the Kurosan family that the Kuroda family values practical interests, not any false name, and that the tea art is such an elegant thing, whoever likes to play will go and play well, anyway, the Kuroda family is not living as well as the tea ceremony now, but the Ouchi and Imagawa families, who value art and culture, have disappeared in the long river of history because of these arts.
After thinking about it for a while, he knew the meaning of Kuroda Vocational High School, and he immediately bowed to Kuroda Vocational High School and said: "What Kuroda-sama said is quite reasonable, it is really thought-provoking, tea is not tea, but as an art, it is a move to put the cart before the horse, even if the master is here, it is estimated that there will be no reason to refute it!" It's really teachable. ”
The Jue Shen House Sect Realm is still quite smart, and since everyone else has already confessed it, there is no need for Kuroda Vocational High School to continue to pretend, so he immediately asked: "Lord Jue Shen Ya looks very young, I don't know how high you are!" ”
"The kid is fifteen years old this year, three years younger than the adult, but I heard that when the adult is fifteen years old, he can already give advice to the Kuroda family and seize Bizen Province, in comparison, there is no way to compare with Kuroda-sama!" Jue Shenwu Sect Realm said modestly. (To be continued.) )
