239 Lesson 238 - Kuyuan Family Facts and Hojo Family Facts

"The fireworks were a great success."

The fireworks of the victory celebration were a great success.

Oda blossomed in the night sky. Odawara has a great reputation for being brighter as if it were noon.

The Hojo family told me about the rough use of gunpowder, the main ingredient, and some of them were blue-faced.

"It's a luxury. The fireworks."

In a world full of energy to eat and taken away, fireworks that use expensive gunpowder in large quantities can be the best luxury.

The fireworks themselves were kept as a gift of friendship from Oda to the Hojo family. I've really prepared it to not be seen too lightly, because I won a big battle. Rather, instead of being seen lightly, they might have been feared.

"But well, I didn't know you'd give me gold and silver and money to exempt trading ships from taxes. Is the Hojo family okay?

Yes, yes. The honorarium for the war was to exempt the trading ships from taxes, as well as gold and silver and money. However, gold and silver and money were in the form of deposits with the Hojo family, except to bring some back, to cover the costs of water, food and repair of future trading vessels.

Mr. Jing Soo negotiated around here. The aim is only to confirm friendship and expand commerce, and I don't want a lump sum.

And then I finally got permission to stop at the Izu Islands. Water and food provision is also to be received, and would not be a bad reward.

If possible, Izu Islands would have liked us. If I dropped one or two of Rimi's castles like that, I could also negotiate. I guess Shinko is on his way out, too, like he said.

"I think it's tough. I'll have a meeting about the deal before I go home. We need to make sure the deal doesn't oppress Hokujo's commerce or industry."

It's gold and silver, so I don't know until I calculate the exact value, but it would have given me more than the actual cost of a naval battle off Kamakura. I guess there's also the Hojo family's pride. Even the Oda family can't afford the actual cost of shooting ships along the Affordable Housing Coast.

It seems that Elle and Jing Soo will talk to Mr. Phantom Man and Hojo's representative and fill in a story about the future trading ship.

We'll have to get our Galeon ship out for the time being. I'm going to have the Sage Navy put together a fleet as well, but I'm still anxious that it's just the Sage Navy.

And then we're sending our ship out to shrimp rays. We might want to stop in Hokujo territory and sell the shrimp ray products directly.

Return to Ozhang looks forward to a week later. I really want to sell my face to Kaori Shrine and Kashima Shrine now that I've crushed Rimi, but it would be easier to stop stimulating them everywhere any longer because the fall is near and even the battle is over.

I think we're going to spend some time teaching him how to make plum wine and talking about Kinai in Ming and Nanban until we get back.

"It's almost autumn. What's going on with the ranch and the test village?"

"You now think you're going home instead of going to Ozhang. It's a little strange."

Odawara is about to see signs of autumn.

I went to Hot Springs, and I also went to Hayamanomiya Tsuruoka, Kunmei Hakone, and Hayayunji. It was fun, but I was a little concerned about Oozawa, and it became natural for me and Elles to think they were going home instead of going, which would be a big change.

It's been a year since you came to Ozhang at some point.

"Hey. About Mr. Qing and Chiyoko. It's time for you to figure out where to marry him."

I had a detailed meeting with Elle and Melty on the boat this day, but when I finished the whole conversation, Melty started talking about Kiyoshi from the Takikagawa family and Chiyoshi from the Hozuki family.

"Don't you have someone you like?

"I think there's someone somewhat fond of you. Like my husband."

"I?"

"It's not weird. I'm kind and wealthy. But accepting that would make it harder to turn down future blood diplomacy."

Surely in this day and age, it's time for marriage, isn't it? Both of you.

The two of us have been talking about our relationship from all over the place for a long time, but we don't need a nasty relative and it won't do us both any good, so I discussed it with Shiqing, Mr. Hope Moon, and I'm saying no.

Honestly, as far as I'm concerned, I'd like you to find someone in the house you like. I can't resist the good offices of marriage.

"As a general theory, I think we should let the Takikawa and Hozuki families marry each other."

Blood diplomacy is probably what I hate the most in this day and age. I don't like this habit of treating women like pawns.

I also told Nobunaga about the area. He said he'd go back to the island if he wanted to use his family.

It's like the Els want kids in the future, but girls can be a lot of problems, even if boys are good. Of course I can do the partitioning, but I don't want to go that far.

Well, Nobunaga only says you can do whatever you want. Looks like there's a part of me that understands how I feel and a part that I can't.

I'm trying to avoid having a baby because I'm too young to know what's going on.

"Wouldn't it be first to hear their intentions? I want you to choose from all over the house as much as you can."

I'm pretty sure Melty and Elle are having a little trouble just with the delicate issues. I understand that free love is difficult in times.

But I've come this far as I like. You want to change your old habits a little bit.

"My lord, Imagawa said he didn't know anything about Rimi."

"I would not have originally been willing to ride the story of Rimi."

Many interesting stories could be heard from the captured Rimi soldiers and samurai.

I know I sent secrets to Uesugi and Imawa, but it didn't seem like a bad response either. The winning dawn also made noise that he was going to march.

Nevertheless, there are no pledges or letters exchanged about it, only promises. It's about my father-in-law. Since the beginning, I intend to go out with Rimi, etc.

I sent out a messenger just in case and to stab the nail, but they still say I don't know and it's over? Sort of. This one in Imawa made me admit to deepening my friendship with Oda.

"Perhaps you wanted to know the power of the Nanban ship?

"I guess so. I would have just responded appropriately because I made a noise just right."

Yiyuan replied quite a bit to Rimi to gauge Oda's strength? That's what the guy's gonna think. But don't you have your head in your arms these days? The strength of Oda was measured, but as a result, it helped deepen the friendship between Hojo and Oda.

"And you were surprised by Oda. I didn't know you were leaving your thank-you money..."

"But now the other side can come without carrying money. I guess it's not a bad story."

It is still Oda who goes over such a sire. I painstakingly prepared a thank you for the battle ahead, but I didn't know you'd want to keep it from the other side.

They asked me to keep it because I want to buy it in Kanto and make it a cost of water, food and sometimes repairs to the ship. Your uncle was surprised, too.

Probably cared. Even this one, the merchant preference naturally has to pay about the actual cost of the Nanban ship's jade medicine. But if I brought home too much gratuity, I would also have been concerned that friendship would be handicapped.

If it was Oda, did you prioritize friendship and commerce over temporary money?

It would hurt our pride to care poorly, but I can't refuse if they tell me they want to keep it as a business fund. If we load the ship with money, we can load it more. Besides, if we were to embezzle the money, we would say that Hojo is a trustless man.

Horrible. Doesn't it seem like they teach you to interact with other houses?

Are you willing to build a relationship with other houses and become bigger, not in the form of rituals? I think I know why Imawa can't move.

Whose wisdom is that? Are you from the Kuyuan family after all? It's not about samurai thinking. I'm curious that it's all Oda's thoughts, but I don't have to disagree with it because it's not a bad story either as Hojo. No, is it Oda's measure in itself to have created a situation where there is no need to disagree?... a really horrible opponent. Now I know why my uncle and Nishido Maru don't look down on Oda.

"Speaking of which, the pharmacist has a reputation. You think if the townspeople asked me to treat them all over town, I'd take care of them quickly? And I have a reputation for receiving very little money."

Speaking of the Kuyuan family, the reputation of the pharmacist is also great.

When asked, he goes everywhere without one disgusting face, and on his way, when asked by the people, he stops by and goes to treatment. I've been targeted before, and the guard is in trouble if it's dangerous, but I didn't know he was going.

If you ask me, are the guards of the Kuyuan family accustomed to what is often the case with Ojitsu? Well, as the reputation of the person increases, I don't mind losing my reputation because it's an attacked landscape.

"I'm still certain of Master Sungawa's insights. If you look at that Oda, it's worth it."

Anyone who insults Oda in his home at the earliest. Sun Kyuro and others are now learning the martial arts of the Nanban crossing from Lord Ba, so much so as taking out those in the house.

We need to deepen our friendship before we go back to Ozhang.
