Warring States Eagle

Chapter 107 Check and Balance

Forming an alliance with the Zuozhi family, the south of the territory was temporarily secured, avoiding the dangerous situation where the Luo family faced enemies from all sides, which temporarily relieved the anxiety of the retainers.And when the news of the coming of Bodo's envoy reached Luo's family, all the retainers were excited, and everyone's anxiety disappeared.It is a great honor that the number one tycoon in Dongmatsupu sent an envoy to Luo's family on his own initiative. With the support of Bodo, the little Huzi's family will not be so scary.Once again, everyone is full of hope for the family's martial arts.

Looking at the retainers who were discussing a lot below, Zheng Liang wondered, as for being so happy, sooner or later the Luo family would become a tycoon hundreds of times stronger than Bodo.But no matter how Zheng Liang looked at this matter, the retainers of the Luo family were already in a state of excitement.

"Cough cough", Zheng Liang coughed a few times, signaled the retainers below to quiet down, and then said, "Everyone knows the news, according to the information passed by Yi Nuo, those clowns who were flirting with Huzi's family have quieted down. Seems to be waiting for Porto's next move. What do you guys think about that?"

"Your Highness, it's a good thing. The high-profile action of the HATA envoy this time has severely deterred those guys. Once we have the support of HATA, the security situation of our family will be much better," Togo Heiji said first.The attitude has undergone a 180-degree change from the previous attitude towards the Sashi family. It is said that Togo Heiji was made things difficult by the Sashi family Kanka Ashgaru when he was exiled to Higashimatsuura.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid there is fraud. Huzi's family is the best example. I think it's better to be cautious." Onishi Guozhi obviously had lingering fears about the last attack.If he hadn't arrived in time at that time, I'm afraid that Zheng Liang would die twice in the end, and the Luo family, which had just entered the right track, would be in crisis.

"Everything is just for profit. Bodo is just using our family as a tool to deal with Huzi's family, so as to check and balance Huzi's family." Kizuo Shigetada said, "Of course, in the current situation of our family, it is also an expedient to make friends with Bodo. This strategy can not only frighten the surrounding tycoons with different thoughts, but also obtain some assistance from Boduo."

The rest of the surrounding retainers bowed their heads thoughtfully after hearing this.

"Everyone, Shigechu is right. Given the current situation in our family, it is necessary to make good friends with Bodo. Now let's discuss how to welcome the other party's envoy," Zheng Liang finally decided.

As a result, in the meeting hall of Luo's family, there were bursts of discussions about how to welcome the Bodo envoy.

On July [-]th, Tianwen Nine Years, the heavy rain that had lasted for several days finally stopped, and today ushered in a sunny day.In a military tent in the Chusonghu camp, Zheng Liang personally received the envoy from Bodo.The other party took several carts of supplies and walked on the mountain road for several days, and finally arrived at the territory of Luo's family.

"Hahaha, His Majesty Zhengliang really deserves to be the successor of Genji." After meeting Gao Zongyi and Zhengliang, they had a very speculative conversation. After briefly describing it immodestly, Ri Gao Zongyi immediately praised him.

"Before I came here, I stopped by Master Xuanzhi at Pu'en Temple. The master praised your talent very much. When I saw you today, as the master said, you really deserve the title of 'Eastern Songpu Eagle'." Ah", Ri Gao Zongyi continued.

"My lord, I'm so ashamed to say that I was forced to accept the mediation of the Huzi family and hand over the hard-earned territory. I really feel unwilling," Zheng Liang took the opportunity to vent his bitterness.

"Hmph, it is indeed extremely abominable that You Huzi disregarded the call of his family and secretly framed his allies. Please rest assured, His Highness Zhengliang, the head of our family will definitely uphold justice for the Luo family," Ri Gaozong condemned with righteous indignation.Looking at the other party's sincere expression, it was really unexpected. After the civil strife in Bota, it was the person in front of him who took the heir of Hata Mori and then dominated Iki Island.

"Then the family is counting on Master Boduo to uphold justice," Zheng Liang said sincerely immediately.Although the territory that was forcibly "cut out" is still under the control of the Luo family, but it can have the righteousness promised by Bodo, even if the actual situation is discovered in the future, it can be confident.

"Hehe, Your Majesty Zheng Liang. This time, I have brought four hundred shi of grain and 50 swords and spears by the order of the Patriarch. I hope it can help the Luo family," Ri Gao Zongyi continued. The 50 swords and long spears are all of ordinary quality. In Feiqian, the average sword is only a few tens of pennies, the middle swords need to be counted, and the fine ones even need more than 10 pennies. Those so-called famous swords are even more expensive. It is priceless.

"My lord, please convey our family's gratitude to Lord Bodo after you go back. In the future, as long as Bodo has orders, the Luo family will definitely cooperate," Zheng Liang immediately thanked.

"Okay", Ri Gao Zongyi was very happy to see that Zhengliang would do this, "Now the family hopes that the Luo family and the Sazhi family will have a good relationship, and jointly suppress the arrogance of the Huzi family. I wonder if the Luo family can do it?"

"My lord should know that my family has formed an alliance with the Sashi family? My lord's order is in line with my original intention," Zhengliang said immediately.

"Very good", Ri Gao Zongyi clapped his hands, then straightened his face, and continued, "A few months later, our family will send troops to Hirado Matsuura, and at that time, we will also ask the Luo family to send troops to help our family. "

"The Luo family is willing to act as a vanguard to attack the city of Bodo," Zheng Liang agreed.Anyway, it will be a few months later, and when the time comes, the Luo family will definitely not become cannon fodder for others.

"Then I look forward to seeing His Highness's heroic demeanor at that time," Ri Gao Zongyi said with full expectation.

"Sir Ri Gao will definitely not be disappointed!" Zheng Liang solemnly promised.Zheng Liang will definitely agree to such a request, and at the same time, Zheng Liang guarantees that he will regret such a promise in due time.

"Oh. By the way, there is one thing I wonder if His Highness Zhengliang knows?" After finishing the business, Ri Gao Zongyi said casually, "Does the Luo family have a lot of copper? If so, would you consider trading with the family?" ? My family is in urgent need of a certain amount of copper material recently."

Zheng Liang didn't expect the other party to ask such a question at all, and couldn't help being taken aback.Damn it, who leaked the news?Let Bodo know the news that there are copper mines in the territory?No, wait, it seems that the other party just asked if there is any copper material?Depending on the situation, the other party does not know the situation in the territory.

"Hehe, Your Majesty Zhengliang, this news was passed on to the main family by the Huzi family. There used to be a small tyrant from the Tianyuan family in the area where the Luo family was located. According to the Huzi family, this little tyrant has a lot of copper materials." Seeing Zhengliang Gao Zongyi said with a smile on his face.The words seem to say, now that you have swallowed others, then you must have swallowed those copper materials, don't tell me you don't know.

Huzi's house?That's right!It seems that the other party has sinister intentions.This account will be settled sooner or later.Zheng Liang gritted his teeth in hatred.

"To tell you the truth, my family has indeed seized tens of thousands of catties of copper material. It is said that the Tahara family looted it from a merchant ship in Fukushima. My family is also having a headache about how to deal with these copper materials? If Mr. Bodo needs it, my family Willing to sell it to Bodo at the market price," Zheng Liang said bluntly, as for whether the other party believes it or not, it is beyond Zheng Liang's control, but the Luo family definitely does not do business at a loss.

"Tens of ten thousand catties? Very good, let's trade at the market price," Ri Gao Zongyi said eagerly after hearing Zheng Liang's words.

So eager?What is Porto doing?Is it exploration and cooperation trade?No, the current Kanhe trade is controlled by the big family, and there is no such thing as a small Bodo.Forget it, don't think too much about it for the time being, first make up enough of the amount requested by the other party. According to the output of the copper mine in the past few months, plus the original seizure, the amount is just enough. Valuable goods will definitely sell for a good price.

After some bargaining, Luo's family sold about 1 catties of copper materials, and Bodo paid 5000 shi miscellaneous grains, 300 swords, 150 spears, a Guan boat, and two Xiaozao.Food and weapons will be delivered directly to Luo's family through the Sashi family's territory, while the boats will temporarily stay in Karatsu Bay.Zhengliang still doesn't intend to let Bodo know that the Luo family has a navy, so he plans to drive these back to Banwuwan in the name of going to Bodo Port. Of course, for safety reasons, Zhengliang left Bodo's token. At that time, as long as these tokens were hung on the bow of the ship, no one would dare to think about these ships casually.

Including these supplies, the current warehouse of the Luo family has 558 unallocated swords and 658 spears, and the navy has also added two closed ships and eighteen Xiaozao, which can be regarded as a small navy force .In terms of food, plus this harvest, the civilian food reserves are already [-] shi, and the military reserves are [-] shi, but these still seem a little unsafe. With the territory's current stone height of [-] shi, After tax, the income of the territory is only about [-] shi, and most of the people do not have enough food and clothing, so these taxes must be used to vigorously carry out paid corvee, in disguise to provide relief to the people, and to ensure the stability of the territory.At the same time, all the standing salaries are now pure income, and the daily consumption and weapon maintenance of the standing are the responsibility of the territory, which will inevitably consume a large part of the food reserves.So in general, if the territory can survive the winter smoothly this year, grain reserves of about [-] shi are necessary.

After negotiating everything, Ri Gao Zongyi hurried away with his subordinates, as if rushing back to report the harvest to the Patriarch.And Zhengliang also led the retainers to invest in the construction of the territory again.
