Chapter 1434 The Ambition of Ryuzoji Takanobu
On a three-story wooden building in Hirado Port, by the window, the Matsuura family governor and Ryuzoji Takanobu were kneeling opposite each other, with a table between them. , with a jar on top Sake, the Matsuura family samurai brought freshly caught black sea bream, seabass and other seafood. The Matsuura family chef cooked the seafood on the spot. The Matsuura family maid barefooted and brought the seafood dishes to the Matsuura family governor and Ryuzoji Takanobu. On the case of several persons.
The Matsuura family governor and Ryuzoji Takanobu looked through the window at the sea in the distance.
The sea at this time was majestic, as if there were evil dragons making trouble in the sea. Wave after wave of several meters high waves rolled up, hitting the coast crazily, and the earth-shaking whistling sound was like evil dragons. Like a roar.
In the distance, the two ships slowly turned into two black spots, and then disappeared as if they had been swallowed by the sea.
After seeing no trace of the two ships, the Matsuura family governor and Ryuzoji Takanobu withdrew their gazes one after another.
"Your Highness, please have a taste. This is the most famous chef in our Matsuura family. Seafood cuisine is unique." The Matsuura family governor poured a glass of sake for Ryuzoji Takanobu and invited him to taste the Matsuura family's specialty. Chef's cooking.
The chef of the Matsuura family was originally the chef of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu. The governor of the Matsuura family accidentally saved his life, and then he was invited to serve as the chef of the Matsuura family. Every time a distinguished guest comes, Governor Matsuura will ask him to cook and entertain, and his beauty is praised by the distinguished guests. This is one of the things that Governor Matsuura is most proud of.
"The taste is bland, the food is tasteless, and it is hard to live up to its reputation." Ryuzouji Takanobu took a bite and shook his head slightly.
Governor Matsuura couldn't help but be startled for a moment, and then apologized, "I'm so rude, I couldn't satisfy His Highness."
Could it be that the chef made a mistake?
After the Matsuura family governor apologized to Ryuzoji Takanobu, he also picked up a chopstick to cook the food, put it into his mouth, and chewed it lightly, then frowned slightly. He frowned, not because the food was unpalatable, but because the food was delicious. It could even be described as extremely delicious. This was This is a first-class palace cuisine. The Matsuura family governor thought that the chef of the shogun's family was nothing more than this. Why is His Highness still not satisfied?
"Your Highness, my lord, please taste this dish." The Matsuura family chef listened. After hearing Ryuzoji Takanobu's evaluation, he thought about it for a while and made another meal on site for Ryuzoji Takanobu and Matsuura Family Governor to taste.
Ryuzoji Takanobu ate it with chopsticks and nodded with satisfaction, "It tastes so good."
Hearing this, the Matsuura family governor breathed a sigh of relief, followed by picking up a chopstick and putting it into his mouth, and then he couldn't help but frown.
If the first dish is a first-class royal cuisine, light and elegant, with full color and aroma, then this dish is a third-rate country dish with strong taste, and the sauce almost wipes out the freshness of the seafood itself. Covered.
Since ancient times, daimyo from all over the world have followed Kyoto, whether it is taste, clothing or popular entertainment, this is a symbol of status and identity. Over time, the tastes of daimyo from various places became almost the same as those in Kyoto, which was very different from the tastes and preferences of local common people.
Theoretically speaking, Ryuzoji Takanobu should also like palace cuisine, but how come he likes country heavy food.
"Haha, Matsuura-sama, I think I am a countryman." Ryuzoji Takanobu looked at the Matsuura family governor and said with a smile.
"How dare you, how dare you," House Governor Matsuura replied hurriedly when Ryuzoji Takanobu revealed what was in his heart. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Haha, why don't you dare? This is a fact. I just like the strong taste of the countryside! Compared with the land of Dragon Ascension in Kyoto, I prefer the countryside! Matsuura-sama, do you think so? Which one is more important, Kyoto or the countryside?" Ryuzouji Takanobu laughed, looked at the Matsuura family governor with squinted eyes, and asked softly.
What’s more important, Kyoto or the countryside? ! Do you need to think about this? Of course Kyoto is heavier! However, Ryuzoji Takanobu said that he liked the countryside, but the Matsuura family governor hesitated for several seconds before saying the answer he blurted out, "I thought Kyoto was heavier."
The reason why the Matsuura family governor is telling the truth To be honest, I am still afraid that Ryuzoji Takanobu will say that he is inconsistent and untrustworthy.
"Kyoto is heavier?! Haha, Matsuura-sama, this world has changed. It is no longer the same as before. Kyoto and the countryside, our countryside is heavier." Ryuzoji Takanobu smiled and shook his head, Said slowly.
"It's more serious in the countryside?!" Governor Matsuura was stunned when he heard this, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Why did your highness say this?"
Governor Matsuura had ten thousand disagreements in his heart, how could he be in the countryside? It’s comparable to Kyoto! Kyoto, that’s Kyoto! For thousands of years, who among the great names from all over the world has not dreamed of going to Luo? !
Shangluo originally means going to Beijing and going to the capital. In the Japanese country, the action of the daimyo leading troops to Kyoto was called "Johanluo". This was the ultimate dream and ultimate ambition of daimyo everywhere, especially during the Warring States Period. To lead troops to Kyoto, control Kyoto, meet the emperor, and establish the shogunate , Bu Wu Tenka
"Haha, Matsuura-sama, the era of controlling Kyoto and controlling the world has passed. Only by controlling all places and eliminating all opposition forces can we truly spread our power over the world. Those who are still attached to Kyoto will eventually be eliminated by the times and become the past like history. So, Matsuura-sama, compared with the countryside, Kyoto , The countryside is more important, whoever wins the countryside wins the world."
Ryuzoji Takanobu chuckled and said slowly.
Governor Matsuura was stunned for a long time as thunder struck his ears.
"Haha, of course, I can only think about Bu Wu Tianxia now. Let's conquer Hizen first."
Ryuzoji Takanobu smiled again and shook his head.
"Your Highness is wise and powerful, and his troops are strong, so he will be able to unify Hizen. We can hope to spread military power all over the world. I, the Matsuura family, are willing to do the hard work of your highness." The Matsuura family governor bowed to compliment and expressed his surrender.
"Haha, it is not easy to unify Hizen. Matsuura-sama's words don't work, and neither do my words. Only iron and blood will work. You have to conquer all the opposing forces. In this war, you need to recruit troops. We need food, weapons, military pay, pensions, etc., everything requires money, I am poor.”
Ryuzoji Takanobu spread his hands and cried.
“Please rest assured, Your Highness, the Ming Dynasty on the other side has countless wealth, tens of thousands of times that of our country, Yamato. General Nabeshima Naoshima and Matsuura Sanbanro’s attempt to attack the Ming Dynasty in the Suhu area is the Ming Dynasty. There are two proverbs in the Ming Dynasty, the most prosperous place in the world. One is "Suhu is rich in the world" and the other is "There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below". This shows that the Suhu area is the richest in the world. In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has suffered. Most of the plundered areas were Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian. The Suzhou and Hangzhou areas, including the Ming Dynasty, were rarely plundered. This time, after the return of General Nabeshima Naoji and Matsuura Sanbanro, our Matsuura family is willing to do our best to assist. His Majesty's men plundered the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas of the Ming Dynasty and took away the countless wealth of the Ming Dynasty to help His Highness unify Hizen and spread military power over the world," the Matsuura family governor said slowly while filling Ryuzoji Takanobu's wine glass.
