Episode 106 Events at the Celebration Table

Yonglu 4 (1561) August Izumo Sword Shrine Neko Hall

"No, I'm really impressed today.The bond with Neko has also deepened, so now Maori is safe. "

"My stepfather is in the lower house, so if you don't keep alcohol, it will poison your body.

"What, you're still okay?"

I feel like saying it's okay only for people who are not okay, but is it because of your mind?I feel the same way when people who are drunk say they are not drunk.

"Father, please take care of your father's body."

"Stiff, Ryukyu's got a stiff head."

This jijijii's attitude is not a drunken gesture, but it's completely drunk, right?Well, since today is officially the start of the Neko and Maori marriage alliance, I understand how delighted it is to see you again.But I also feel that Jijii is a little too shabby.

Is it true that Cheeto Jijii is old and old?Well, I only know the origins of Maori since I became a jijijii.But if this is an act, a drunken gesture, and Jijii is aiming for it, then I can only say that.

"Sadaemon, take it away."

Wow, it's a celebratory seat, but there's nothing special about it.

"Father, excuse me. I'll get it."

Muoo, Ryukyu isn't innocent anymore

Mmm. Oh, my God, Jijii's not cute even if she's stubborn!Besides, you usually call me a princess or a witch, and I don't call you a princess!Well, the rank is higher than that of Jijii, and I suppose the other way around is to call it "Jijii".

"My stepfather's wine is a treat.So, can I have a little serious talk?

"Serious talk at the festive seat is a bit refreshing, but why not?

"Did you drop the citrus mountain castle in Shima County, Tsukuba?

"Hmm. As the princess told me, Kanji Ushibuki was already dead and easily fell to the castle.I owe this to the princess and the witch. "

I see. Was the castle without the castle lord fragile?Koshimotake Castle is a castle built on the Itoshima Peninsula in the northwest across Hakata Bay from Hakata.Ishima Peninsula is a peninsula that straddles Iedo and Shima counties.

It seems that Itoku existed around here a long time ago.Perhaps the Itoshima Peninsula at that time was an island, and Hakata Bay and Karatsu Bay were connected by sea, right?Itoshima is an island in Itoku.Itoshima in Hattori and Shima.

I think the origin of the place name comes from simply naming the landscape of the place.There was a wide island at the mouth of the Ota River from Hiroshima.Shimane From the base of the island?Hyogo There was a warehouse of weapons, etc....

"Have you already awarded someone a prize in the area of Mt. Citrus?

"No, for the time being, I incorporated it under Maori's direct control, but why would a princess witch want a citrus mountain castle?

Even if you are drunk, your judgment has not deteriorated, perhaps because you are the conspirator general of one of the warring states who has survived through the eyes of the living horse.

No matter how many marriage alliances I made, Izumo was an enemy until a few years ago, and if I drank it before and after I became unconscious, I might be branded as disqualified in this era.

Conversely, drinking until you get drunk may give you a favorable impression of the other person, as you can also accept that your chest collar is open and your mind is forgiving.Well, I'd say you're careless.

But Cheeto Jiji is already hiding behind Takashi, so can I fall asleep?

However, I don't feel like I can only see things that I've worn a lot.However, in this era of slaughter, surviving as a great warring power leads to a shrinking heart.....

No way.

"Oh, my God, I can't believe it."

"Would you sell about half of Shima County, including the Citrus Mountain Castle?Specifically, about 50,000 pieces. "

About 15,000 rocks in half of Shima County?One stone is the standard, so if you can harvest 10 stones of rice in one town step, it will be 1500.In other words, the price I said is 50,000 pieces, and the price of the field per town step is about 34 pieces.

Assuming you buy 15,000 stone territory, it should be higher than the right price for the real estate price.The price of land in Kyoto and Kinai seems a little higher, but I think the price of 34 penultimate sentences per town is above the standard due to the price of rural fields in Kyushu.

Well, there's no idea of buying and selling half of the county in this era, so it's just a desk theory.However, there are individual farm sales, so even on a small scale, there are similar exchanges.

"Hmm... but what are you going to do with that enclave?You're gonna use it as a hub for trade with the continent?

As far as I'm concerned, Tsuyazaki and Miyajidake Castle in Sogo County are okay, but they should be Sogo territory, so it seems difficult to adjust even if I buy them, so I decided to request the area of Mt. Citrus Castle that I just took from Otomo.

The area of Mt. Kashigatake Castle seems to have less time to adjust because the original lord is gone.

"I'll give it to Tsushima's sect."

"I'll give it to the sect without using it under the Princess's own authority?That's right, the idea came to me too.I mean, is the princess going to take over the sect completely?

"Yes, if you can capture Tsushima's sect with 50,000 pieces, don't you think it's a cheap shopping?

"Mummu, the princess witch always comes up with the idea of giving the citrus mountain castle a generous gift to the sect."

That's not true, Al!Well, it can be said that Hideyoshi and Ieyasu were just imitating each other.

In the territory of 15,000 rocks, if the annual bonus is 6 citizens, the Lord's share is 9,000 rocks.Converted to bronze coins, it's about 45,000 pieces.For example, if you spend 900 cents of your income on annual repayment, would you say you bought half of Shima County for 50,000 cents on a 56-year loan with no interest rate fees?

However, if there was an interest rate and the interest rate was compound, it would not be very expensive, but it would not be possible to buy it at a high price of 50,000 pieces.I feel like I'm going into self-bankruptcy due to late repayment.Einstein said ironically that mankind's greatest invention was compound interest.

However, since this is only assumed to be the case when rice is exchanged with income only from rice, if there is any profit obtained from other cash exchange crops, commodities, transactions, etc., the story is also different.

Well, I don't want to sell Mt. Citrus Castle to Tsushima's sect for 50,000 pieces, so this calculation is nonsense in itself.This means that the value and price of the land is something like this.

"Tsushima's sect seems to have a long-standing desire to have territory in the mainland of Kyushu."

"I can thank you.As always, the belly of a princess witch is black. "

How rude of you to be so black!If I'm black, what kind of title should I give Cheeto Jijii?Is that a horrible title?

"From now on, the demand for the navy will grow, so we need to capture it while we can."

"Hmm... I sold it to the princess because the battle in Kyushu was expensive.But let's see if Tsushima's sect isn't funny just with Neko's strings. "

"In your stepfather's house?

Well, no matter how much 50,000 pieces you buy or sell, is it strange that people would not find it interesting if Maori bled to feed on the territory won and Neko captured the sect?It seems easier to compromise on one thing here.

In order to smooth relationships, I think it is important to be calm and calm.

"Hmm. So, half of the 50,000 pieces are Māori, so why don't Tsushima's sect tie Neko, Māori, and the two houses together?

Is it concomitant? Well, I just want a navy crowd for the deal, so that's fine. "

That's how we get back to the beginning of the story.

I mean, half of the 50,000 pieces, don't you have to pay for it?... is it because you feel wrapped up in cheetah jiji?

I can't solve it....
