Regarding the cunning behavior of the Maori family who secretly instigated the riots in the Luo family's territory, Zheng Liang was determined to take revenge.Although the governor of the Ni family, Ni Qingjiu, was sick in bed, and was requested by the envoy of Ichiyama Gobo, Osaka Ishiyama Gobo, to suspend the conflict with the Mori family, but since receiving the invitation from the Luo family to jointly attack the Mori family, the Ni family has already They are secretly preparing to attack the Mori family.

It is precisely because of the intention to take revenge on the Maori family that after Masara returned to Yamaguchi Castle, he held the ceremony of accepting the emperor and the shogunate's official rewards brought by Kyokoyoshi with peace of mind. Ji said that after the ceremony, friends only talked about private matters, not business affairs, so as not to mention the topic of negotiating peace with the Maori family (after all, if he said it clearly, it would be a bit disregarding the face of the emperor and the shogunate represented by Jing Gaoji) Although the two have no rights at this time, but if the relationship with them is frozen, they will be suppressed in a righteous way).

In order to divert Jing Gokichi's attention, Zheng Liang first took Jing Gokichi to visit Yamaguchi Castle.Jing Gaoji also seemed to realize that Zheng Liang deliberately did not discuss the matter of peace with the Maori family (as for how did the family supervisor of the Luo family know about this issue? Naturally, the power of the Luo family in Kyoto informed the family governor in advance. Regarding this, Jing Goji is very clear).Originally, he was a little dissatisfied with Masaragi's attitude towards the emperor and the shogunate, but after thinking about it, he understood.

Judging from what he learned on his journey to Yamaguchi Castle, it seems that this time there was a riot in the territory of the Luo family in the West Country, and it seemed that the Maori family was involved in instigating the riot.Such a situation.The Maori family even planned to let the emperor and the shogunate be intermediaries.Promote the Luo family not to retaliate against the Maori family.is it possible?No wonder the governor of the Luo family was so annoyed that he didn't even want to mention this topic.

As for the emperor and the shogunate, Emperor Go Nara is sick in bed at this time, and those people in the palace are even preparing to select the emperor's heir, so at this time, Emperor Go Nara can't pay attention to this matter at all, this time The reason why the imperial palace announced that the emperor wanted the Luo family to negotiate peace with the Maori family was entirely because those people in the imperial palace who acted as government affairs agents during the period when Emperor Nara was seriously ill received the benefits of the Maori family.As for the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiki.It is also because of the benefits of the Maori family that I have this business.

However, just relying on the official positions rewarded by the imperial court and the shogunate before, I hope to appease the anger of the Luo family for not being able to obtain the nominal ownership of An Yiguo, and accept the mediation of the imperial court and the shogunate, and the Maori family who assassinated the Luo family Is there a peace deal?Even from the point of view of the Mori family, the Luo family also lost their troops in the Battle of Itsukushima, and even invaded the territory of the Mori family's patriarch, the Ouchi family. The sphere of influence of Anyi Country and Bingo Country.So the Maori family's assassination of the Luo family was nothing more than a counterattack.But who can tell who is right and who is wrong in such a thing?

In the view of Jing Goji, under such circumstances.Whoever has the bigger fist is right.From the perspective of the imperial court and the shogunate, it seems that the strength of the Luo family and the Maori family are comparable.But is this really the case?At least in Jing Gaoji's view, the fists of the Luo family are much bigger and harder. The imperial court and the shogunate intend to restore their prestige by mediating such things, which is obviously wrong, and even counterproductive, at least for now Offended the Roche family.That being the case, he is too lazy to be a villain, so he might as well do whatever he wants and let the Luo family arrange it. As for the matter of the Maoli family, as long as the Luo family does not take the initiative to bring it up, he will simply keep quiet. .

Of course, Zhengliang didn't know that in such a short period of time, Kyokoji had completely seen through the affairs of the Luo family and the Mori family.So, he took Jing Gaoji to visit the main castle, Erdaocheng, Jiancang, rice warehouse, armory and other places of Yamaguchi Castle respectively. This arrangement can have two meanings.One meaning is that Masaragi did not take the Mori family seriously at all; the other meaning was that Masara had nothing to hide from the imperial court and the shogunate, and wanted to show the court and the shogunate through Jing Gokichi that the Luo family was determined to give the Maori family As for the topic of peace negotiation, don't mention it.

When visiting a hospital, Zheng Liang pointed at it with a fan, "That is the residence of many family members of the Ouchi family."

Jing Gaoji let out an "oh" and stopped.

"The family members of these big inner families have been treated very well since the family took over here. The Luo family will always support these family members." Zheng Liang continued.Zheng Liang said that he wanted to maintain a close relationship with the imperial court and the shogunate.Because there are many people and ministers settled in the Yamaguchi area, and these people and ministers have various connections with the imperial court and the shogunate in Kyoto.More importantly, the Ouchi family has always had a deep relationship with these ministers and the imperial court and shogunate in Kyoto. The most prominent manifestation is that many of the family members of these Ouchi families are related to those ministers and the imperial court in Kyoto. , The shogunate is related by blood.Zhengliang expressed his goodwill to the imperial court and the shogunate by treating these family members kindly, and made it clear that he did not want the differences between the two parties this time to freeze the relationship between the two parties.

And Kyokoji also understood what Masara meant in an instant, and immediately told Masara that after returning to Kyoto, he would definitely report the situation of these family members to the emperor and the shogun.

Since Jing Gaoji is so good at being a man, Zheng Liang is naturally very happy. After entertaining Jing Gaoji for a few days, he even sent someone to escort Jing Gaoji to the territory of Zhou Luo's family to play.

After sending away Kyokyoshi, Masarai personally sat in Yamaguchi Castle, commanding various teams to quell the riots in the territory of the Western Region, and at the same time personally summoned the Luo family, the Cabinet, and some commercial houses that had business relations with the Luo family to be in charge. People, a business meeting was held in Yamaguchi Castle.The main purpose of this business meeting is to establish a more robust internal business system of the Roche family.The participants this time were the representative of the Cabinet, Togo Heiji, the representative of the Luo family, Tai Jiuling, the Ming businessman Wang Hai, the Ming businessman Zuo Moyang, the Ming businessman You Jianxia, ​​the representative of the Nanban businessman Zhu Qinfeng, Karur, Local businessmen Amada Nobuyasu, Shimai Shimai Soshige and others.

After more than ten years of development, the Luo family has established a relatively complete industrial and agricultural system. These two systems have promoted the development of the commercial system of the Luo family territory to a certain extent, but many problems have also appeared during this period. .
