Chapter 336: Recruiting Powerful Ministers (1)

The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, in order to avoid the people of the Hosokawa family from coming to the door, after recruiting Honda Toshimasa, Masarashi and others went from Kyoto to Sakai Town on the same day. Since there were no large and small boxes of entourage, this time the speed of the journey was very fast, and I returned to my residence in Sakai Town that night.

Nothing happened overnight.

On the second day, Hondatoshi is rushing back to Mikawa accompanied by a cloaked man, and he will directly lead his family and acquaintances to Masaryo. And Masarashi also began to arrange what happened after leaving, first deciding to let Ichijo Moritaka lead several people to stay in Sakai Town, as the contact between the Luo family, Sakai Town, and Kyoto. Then, he arranged for personnel to start packing their luggage and preparing to return to the Hizen territory.

At this time, Nobuyasu Yuda came to visit with several people.

"Congratulations to Saemon on his official position on his trip to Kyoto." Nobuyasu Yuda bowed his head and congratulated.

"Hehe, Lord Xinkang's news can be described as very well-informed!" Masato said with a pun. Not only did this guy know about the official position he had obtained, but he also visited him on the second day after he returned to Sakai Town, and the degree of information made even Masayo sweat.

"Hehe, let Saemon-sama smile, Saemon-sama happened to be seen by the guys below when he returned to Sakai-cho last night, so I came to visit today." Nobuyasu Amada analyzes Masato's doubts without a trace.

"Oh? I don't know what Lu Dao Xinkang is talking about? Masato said. The horse trade was already underway, and by the time Masarashi was on his way to Kyoto, the first fifty horses had already begun to be shipped to the Hizen Roche family. Is it a matter of coin replacement?

Sure enough, as Masato expected. After bowing briefly, Amada Nobuyasu said, "The head of the Saemon family has agreed to exchange the coins at the market price. ”

"Okay, please tell Lord Imai Munehisa that my family is willing to exchange copper coins for gold and silver at the market price." Masato readily agreed. It would be enough to be able to exchange half of those copper coins for gold and silver.

"In addition, there are several people who have introduced me to Saemon-sama." Nobuyasu Amada continued, "These people are all talented people, and I hope that Saemon-sama will receive them. as for the things they ask. We'll find out when Saemon-sama meets them. Yuda Nobuyasu said with absolute confidence, if it was someone else, he would have left long ago, but he believed that Masato would definitely receive them.

The first person to be met was a monk in his thirties.

"Poor monk Michizo pays a visit to Saemon-sama." The monk leaned over and saluted Zhengliang.

The monk's move attracted the attention of Zhengliang, and according to custom, the monk should now perform Buddhist rituals to Zhengliang, but what the other party is doing now is saying vulgar rituals. Masara couldn't help but look at Amada Nobuyasu who was sitting on the side suspiciously.

"Your Highness. Michizo's original name was Horibe Masamori, and he studied under the physician Tashiro Mitsuki. Just now Kanto came back and was preparing to return to the customs. Nobuyasu Yuda said.

Horibe Masamori? Zhengliang immediately knew who the monk in front of Lu Dao was. This is none other than Michiza Washiro, one of the three most famous physicians of the Warring States period (the other two are Michiki Tashiro, the master of Michizo Qunaase, and Mr. Tokumoto Nagata, who traveled on the back of an ox and practiced medicine to help the poor at a cheap fee). Michizo Koji was a monk at Aikokuji Temple in Kyoto in his early years. Later, he went to Kanto to study under Tashiro Mitsuki. It is only recorded that he returned to Kyoto in 1546 and then returned to the world, devoting himself to the study of Chinese medicine and the treatment of patients. He later treated the shogun's Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and enjoyed great fame in Kyoto. Harumoto Hosokawa, Miyoshi Nagakei, Matsunaga Shu and others have all been treated by him. He established a hospital in Kyoto under the name of Kaidiin. Year 1574. In the same year, he treated the illness of Emperor Shokincho and presented the book to the Emperor, which made him even more famous. Even when Oda Nobunaga went to Beijing, he was asked to see a doctor.

To the surprise of Masahiro, according to historical records. After the death of Tashiro Mikiki eight years ago, he stayed in Kanto to devote himself to medical research, and did not return to Kyoto until a few years later. Now this master, who will become famous in the future, is sitting in front of Zhengliang.

"Saemon-sama," said Naose Michi, "The poor monk heard that the Lord once used a miraculous pill to save the life of a seriously ill patient. That's why I'm here today to ask for advice on this matter. ”

The thing that Qu Naase Michizo said about saving people refers to the fact that last year, Kamiya Shaoce suddenly suffered from a cold, and he was helpless to search for doctors, and he happened to be discouraged by political conscience. So he ordered someone to send a cold medicine that followed him to the Warring States (anyway, these medicines will gradually expire if they are not used, so it is better to let it work now). After taking this strange drug, Kamiya Sausei gradually got better, and then under the care of other doctors, he finally recovered his health. Since then, Kamiya Susea has regarded Masayo as a lifesaver. Nobuyasu Amada also accidentally learned about this while chatting with Kamiya Sakuze, and now he has told it to Michizo Qu Naose, so it aroused Michizo Qu Naose's interest.

"Master Daosan, it's not a secret, this medicine does still exist, but this is a family treasure, if the master plans to ask for it and study it, it is not impossible." Masara said.

"I don't know how to get this family treasure? The poor monk has no intention of taking it for himself, but he just hopes that Saemon will let the poor monk study it a little, and if he can develop a cure for this, Saemon is really a bodhisattva for the common people in the world. Michizo Qu Naase said immediately.

"Hehe" Masarashi smiled and nodded, thinking, bring me a high hat? It's really useless for me.

"Master, due to the restrictions of the family rules, this treasure really can't be faked at will, if the master can become a retainer of the family, then I can make the decision to send this family treasure to the master." Zhengliang said later.

"This?" Qu Naase Michi was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhengliang would offer such conditions, and he immediately hesitated.

"Master, you are still vulgar just to concentrate on the study of medicine, and then hang the pot to help the world?" As soon as he saw Qu Naase Michizo hesitate, Masarashi immediately continued, "The family promised that in addition to the master becoming a retainer of the family, the master would be provided with a special medical school to study medicine and treat the sick, and the family's family treasure was given to the master for research, and the family also has a lot of medical books from the Ming Kingdom, and the master can also take them for study." "After seeing Koji-Naase Michizo, Masara was already happy to see the hunt. In the current territory, Master Xuanru lives in Zhongxiao Temple to concentrate on the study of medicine and the treatment of patients, and occasionally teaches some medical knowledge to apprentices, while the military physician Mingfeng Xiuzheng is to learn medical knowledge from Xuanru as a medical guarantee for the army. Now, if such a master is added, the medical level of the Luo family's territory will definitely rise to another level.

"Is this true?" Michizo Koji was also frightened by the conditions that Masara had just offered.

"I am willing to swear to the Eight Dharma Bodhisattvas, and even willing to set up a written note as proof." Masashi said immediately.

"Let's let the poor monk think about it before replying to Saemon-sama." After thinking about it for a while, Qu Naase said after a while.

"Then I'll wait for the master's reply." Masato said briskly. The other party is a well-known doctor, so he will definitely not make a decision so easily, and this Masato also understands. The so-called fame and fortune. The reason why Michizo chose to return to Kyoto and even heal the emperor and the daimyo was first and foremost for fame and fortune. With these two things, he can have the resources to continue medical research, and even popularize medicine, so that more people can get the patronage of these things. But this goal, judging by the current situation, is still a long way off.

At this time, Zhengliang is tantamount to providing another way to achieve this goal. That is, it can provide a large amount of material basis, so that Qu Naase Michizo can immerse himself in research, and promote medicine according to his ideas, so that more people can be patronized. However, the disadvantage of this approach is that it cannot quickly expand its fame and influence. Of course, if the Luo family can rise quickly, then this problem will be solved, but who can believe that when the Luo family, a family that is not even famous in Kyoto, will rise?

So Michizo Naase was caught in a difficult choice.

After seeing off Michizo Kojinose, Masarashi received the second guest.

"Omi Kunitomo Village Kuniyubei meets Saemon-sama." The person who came was a middle-aged man.

Depend on! Masato snorted. Yuda Nobuyasu found it today, and they are indeed some cattle people. Who is this national friendly guard? This man was one of the first blacksmiths in Japan to forge iron cannons. In February 1544, Shimazu Yoshihisa presented the iron cannon to Ashikaga Yoshiharu through the commander Hosokawa Harumoto, and then Harumoto ordered four people including Kokutomo Village, Komikawa Sakata Prefecture, to study and produce it. As a result, iron cannons spread from the central city to the surrounding areas. Later, Kunitome Village was protected by Oda Nobunaga and began to produce a large number of high-grade iron cannons for Oda Nobunaga, and I heard that later it produced iron cannons for Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Kunitome was the representative of Kuniyu Village at that time.

Why did such a bull appear in front of Zhengliang today?

"Saemon-sama, the Kokuyubei is the people of the country who have been making enough equipment for adults before." Nobuyasu Yuda introduced.

"Oh?" Masahiro was stunned. I didn't expect that the Luo family had purchased from the Kamiya family and Yuda Nobuyasu in the past, and it was originally made by the person in front of him. After thinking about it, Masato also felt that it was ideal. Although the other side is famous for forging iron cannons, before iron cannons were introduced to Japan, the other side always had to eat. And forging and manufacturing ordinary weapons and armor is their usual way of living.

"This time, Saemon-sama ordered 1,000 pairs from the Kamiya family and the main family at one time, and with the strength of the family, it was impossible to meet the adult's request in time, so I had to invite Kunibei-sama to come." Nobuyasu Amada continued.
