A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

That night when Xiaopingtai was resting at home, a transfer order came to the desk. Koheita was promoted from Ejiri Castle to the post of general of the Yamauchi clan's banners, and his appointment was completely unexpected.

The next day, Koheita immediately went to the city to ask for an audience, and it was only then that Yamauchi Yoshiharu revealed the reason. Koheita and Hokahata University actually presided over the general inspection of the Far River country this time. To paraphrase a P club player, I suddenly heard that Shinra's book had arrived, and it turned out that Khitan was notorious.

Although Koheita paid a lot of attention to the management of Ejiri, the prosecutor eventually offended someone. Moreover, the autumn harvest will begin in two months. After the autumn harvest is over, the new annual tribute collection will begin. Xiaopingtai has seen the scene when the annual tribute is collected, and she doesn't know what will happen in the end this year. Yamauchi Yoshiharu transferred Xiaoping Tai back entirely to save the heroes from getting hurt.

Moreover, the person who went to Ejiri to serve as the castle this time was the former Chief of the Hatamoto clan, Konishiharazaemon, a close confidant of Yamauchi Yoshinori, and the family elder of the family. His status completely suppresses the large and small people living in the country far away from the river, and he can successfully collect this year's annual tribute.

As for the deeper meaning, Xiaopingtai also thought of it. Due to the inherent noble background of the Yamauchi family, the first generation Yamauchi Yoshiaki was only fifteen years old when the imperial family descended. At that time, the two family elders, Hosokawa and Isshiki, who accompanied him, were in charge of the housekeeping.

Later, the family business increased through generations, and the daimyo's authority continued to rise, but they still couldn't get rid of the constraints of the collegial system of important ministers. Although Yamauchi Yoshiharu has the final decision-making power and veto power, the advice of important retainers under his command is still the most important factor he refers to. This is also the reason why Xiaoping Taihui is willing to recommend Anzhai Qingkang. Not all the protagonists are Long Aotian and Ye Liangchen, and they are all rebellious in the back of their heads. He didn't want to think about anything. He was thinking about accumulating strength to rebel all day long.

Citing various capable retainers to rise to power, although they will not become cronies on the surface, those with good connections will definitely support those with good connections first. As long as it didn't interfere with the Yamauchi family's request, Uncle Tsunaliang would immediately support the ideas put forward by Koheita with both hands and feet. Now that Anzhai Qingyasu has come forward, he will definitely support Xiaopingta. Then gradually, Xiao Pingtai will have more and more speaking power, and finally reach the goal of influencing housekeeping.

This is also one of the most common ways for powerful officials to ascend to power in all dynasties in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. One person is weak, but many people are strong. The truth is clear and everyone knows it.

Kodaira originally thought that the matter would be able to proceed smoothly without making Anzai Kiyonana his retainer, but Yamauchi Yoshiharu seemed to have seen some signs. He arranged Anzhai Qingkang in Yuanjiang and transferred Xiaopingtai back to the mountains. To put it bluntly, it is to prevent the sailors he spends money to support from becoming private individuals who follow Xiao Pingtai's footsteps.

As expected, Yamauchi Yoshiharu's more than 40 years of Warring States life was not in vain, he had a good hand.

As for why Anzhai Qingkang found Xiaopingtai again, besides thanking Xiaopingtai for recommending him to become an official. He also said that his father, Fuyuyasu Anzhai, once gave him something when he set off for Iimori Castle and asked him to deliver it to Xiaoheita.

Young people love to show off. He only cared about showing off his muscles and fighting hard, forgetting about his father's thing. Now everything is over and the dust has settled. When he was free, this matter came to his mind. So he immediately sent someone to Ejiri to fetch his father's relic and give it to Xiaoheita.

Although he didn't know what it was, it was because his father said he must handle it with care and keep it carefully. The obedient Anzhai Qingyasu tried his best to preserve the wooden box. He wrapped it in layers of fine cotton cloth and carried it in a bag with strong ramie cloth.

Good guy, it takes about two minutes to unravel this thing layer by layer. What kind of things need to be made like this? It is definitely impossible to use famous swords and armors. Anzhai Dongkang's tactics of naval warfare were made clear to his two sons, and he refused to spread them to anyone else.

What else could it be? It can't be just a lump of gold. But even if a pile of gold reaches the sky, it only costs one thousand taels. This amount of money is not enough to cover the expenses of Anzhai Qingkang's navy.

But when the package was completely opened, Xiao Pingtai knew that he was wrong, very wrong. Because the inconspicuous varnished wooden box has four big characters written on it, "Famous Products of Tang Dynasty"!

Koheita immediately raised his head and looked at Kiyoyasu Anzaka, "Setsatsu Mamoru did you really give this thing to me?"

Anzhai Kiyoyasu didn't seem to know much about tea ceremony, so he said in a tone of not paying much attention to it, "It's probably one of my father's tea utensils, and it wasn't just given to Danzada. My father had a lot of tea utensils, and he gave a few to his brother before he left. In addition, he also gave gifts to several people in Sakai and Nara.”

Of course Xiaopingtai knew that Anzhai Dongkang was a world-famous tea connoisseur, and he had an incredible collection of tea utensils. However, the whole world is qualified to be called a famous item of Tang Dynasty, and it is also said that there is only one tea set preserved in the hands of Anzhai Dongkang.

Celadon Matsumoto tea, a famous product of the Tang Dynasty!

As for the price, we can check it out, five thousand taels of gold!

He also has a more famous name, Matsumoto Eggplant, which is known as one of the three eggplants in the world. It was considered by people at the time to be the second most famous product in the world, and it was just a hair away from the most famous product in the world, the Ninety-Nine-Fat Eggplant.

Xiao Pingtai opened the lid of the box and immediately concluded that he was right based on the finely carved ivory lid. After gently taking it out, the narrow mouth, wide body, round, plump, warm and pleasant eggplant shape further confirmed Xiao Pingtai's conclusion. Xiaoping didn't want to find out whether this thing was an antique from the Song Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, but what I can confirm is that it looks good, it's really good-looking.

Putting Matsumoto Eggplant down gently, "Do you know the value of this tea set?"

"It's not cheap at all. It seems to be hundreds of dollars, or maybe a thousand dollars. My father never lets me touch it. He says I'm careless. It would be a pity that such an expensive thing is damaged." Anzhai is so well-off that he can be considered a sensible person. He knows It is a valuable tea set. But again, he has never lived in poverty, and he still doesn't have a very serious concept of money.

"Then let me tell you, this is the second most famous thing in the world. The Tang Dynasty tea called Matsumoto eggplant is worth five thousand guanwen!" Xiao Pingtai had already closed the lid of the box carefully and smiled. Look at Anzhai Qingkang.

"Five thousand guan? Five thousand guan!" Anzhai Qingyasu realized that he was wrong, and his eyes were completely fixed on the small wooden box.

"How is it?" Xiao Pingtai looked at Anzhai Qingyasu with a smile.

"Since father wants to give Tanzheng as a gift, it's better to accept Tanzheng." Anzhai Qingkang's Adam's apple moved deeply and he swallowed hard.

"Hahahahaha, Chen San quickly tells the family to prepare wine and food." Xiaopingtai took the still a little dazed Anzhai Qingkang, sat down on the porch, and had a drink.

A big brother sent a red envelope last night. Thank you very much, but I hope you won't send it again in the future, which is a waste of money.
