"I will not accept such an order." Yu Qiuping bowed to the bosses sincerely, "I am very sorry that such a thing will happen, but I have no choice but to do so."
"How can we ensure that His Highness will not harm our interests?" Imai Munehisa asked again, "His Highness Oda is a very strong person, and His Highness does not seem to be someone who would disobey the master's family for our sake. If His Highness Oda becomes more serious,
, next time we ask for 30% of the harvest, and next time we ask for 40%, what will His Highness do? Will he refuse His Highness Oda for 10% of Sakai Town’s income, and have a falling out with His Highness Oda, and be accused of being a traitor and waiting for the full harvest?
A subjugation by the Oda family?"
Yu Qiuping sighed, not knowing how to explain.
"His Highness has agreed this time, and we have no choice. After all, His Highness is the most outstanding among the several legion leaders. It is no wonder that His Highness Oda is worried that His Highness's great achievements will shock the Lord and weaken His Highness." Tsuda Muneki saw.
The atmosphere was a little tense, so he came out to smooth things over and said, "It is impossible for our Congress to directly reject this request for 20% tax. This will make His Highness a stranger on both sides. And His Highness Oda may send troops to attack Sakai Town when he is angry. We are now
What you should think about is how to remedy it as much as possible."
"Let's formulate a new bill. Let's just say that if it is not passed by the National Assembly, His Highness Momiji cannot privately agree to His Highness Oda's request for Sakai Town." Imai Munehisa took a helpless sip of tea and took a step back, "This
Forget it once, we will work in Congress to get everyone to agree to the 20% tax bill. But this 20% bill must be voted together with this new plan to protect Congress’s rights.”
"Boss Imai, this new bill is really difficult for me to deal with..." Yu Qiuping said with some struggle, while grabbing the tatami with his hands uneasily, "If the lord sends a messenger to Maple Leaf Mountain City to inform me of his request, then I
It can be brought to a vote in Congress. But if we want to be in a situation like today, I was called over by the Lord to talk, and then he gave me a request in front of me. How can I still say: 'I can't agree to you directly, I want to go back and give you a request.
Will the Congress vote? Then my lord will be furious? I will either agree on the spot or refuse on the spot, and there is no way I will come back to give you a vote."
"That's impossible, then this time the 20% plan is impossible to pass." Imai Munehisa slowly placed the tea cup on the table and pushed it towards the middle of the table, "We are all businessmen, there is no way we will suffer losses.
, let yourself become the fish on the sticky board, and His Majesty Oda can cut the flesh however he wants."
After Imai Munehisa said these words, the conference room fell into dead silence again. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to break the situation. Suddenly, an idea came to Yu Qiuping's mind, and the memory of being a time traveler once again provided him with a good idea
.
"Bosses, do you think this is okay?" Yu Qiuping prepared his words and said in a low voice, "Your Congress is secretly discussing an authorization bill. Don't let His Highness Oda know about it."
"Authorization act?" Tsuda Muneki pondered over this strange word, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"That is, you discuss a bottom line that the merchants of Sakai Town can accept - the bottom line of concession to the lord." Yu Qiuping dipped his hand in some tea and drew a horizontal line on the table, "Then you put this bottom line in advance
Tell me and authorize me to agree to any request above this bottom line. Once this bottom line is exceeded, I have no right to agree to any request and can only refuse His Highness Oda. However, I cannot be held responsible for any consequences that may arise.
Now. With this bottom line in hand, I feel confident and can express my opinion on His Highness Oda’s request on the spot.”
Yu Qiuping's proposal made everyone's eyes brighten. The merchants exchanged glances and nodded. Imai Sojiu coughed twice and saluted Yu Qiuping, "His Royal Highness Hongye is really capable of doing anything."
, this method is okay, we will consider it carefully."
"Also, I suggest that the bill to protect the rights of Sakai Town should be voted on in private, so that the lord's ninjas don't find out." Yu Qiuping finally added, "Otherwise, there will be big trouble."
After leaving Sakai Town, Yu Qiuping turned back again without stopping, passing Maple Leaf Mountain Castle and rushing to Kyoto. However, when he passed Maple Leaf Mountain Castle, Amano Keitoku pulled him back again. Yu Qiuping thought he was trying to persuade him again
Conspiracy, but never thought that he would tell another thing that shocked Yu Qiuping.

On October 20, the Oda family's tea party was held in Kyoto. This tea party was an unprecedented event. Almost all the senior officials of the Oda family were present, and important allies and feudal lords also participated in person. It was very lively. Oda Nobu
This move was also a demonstration to all the daimyo in the world - the Oda family had the strength to summon important ministers from all walks of life to hold a tea party. And this time the army gathered in Kyoto, it was the first grand event after the war in Kyoto.
A large-scale tea party is naturally inseparable from a Go event. Since it was during the Tensho period, this Go competition was also called the "Tensho Imperial Competition." On October 22, the Go competition was held in the castle town of Nijo Castle. Shou Lei
The person is the holder of the title of "Celebrity" who was praised by Emperor Masachikamachi as "this son is a famous person in the world" - Ua Qiupei. Ua Qiupei's attainments in Go at the same time were even better than his in military strategy.
He must be so strong that no one in the world can be his opponent, and Yu Qiuping has also been called the "Daming of Go" by many Go enthusiasts. Due to Yu Qiuping's huge influence, the popularity of Go has greatly increased across the country, especially in Kinki.
Go dojos can be found in almost every city and town, and there are countless people learning and practicing Go. Therefore, there is an endless stream of players who want to challenge Yu Qiuping this time.
From October 22nd to October 25th, auditions were held among these players. After rounds of eliminations and trials, 8 players were finally selected to challenge Yu Qiuping. Some of them were small names, and some were in Go dojos.
There are many teachers, some are monks, and some are great masters. If placed in the past ordinary times, each of them would have been able to dominate the chess world. However, since Yu Qiuping was born, his light was enough to overshadow all the chess players of his generation.
hand.
However, Emperor Masachimachi seemed to think that such a challenge could not cause any trouble to Yu Qiupei, so he came up with an exciting way to defend the ring - Yu Qiupei beat eight at the same time. This suggestion scared Yu Qiupei
At first glance, he hurriedly wanted to refuse, but was rejected by Oda Nobunaga, who was very interested in success and liked the excitement. He was very enthusiastic about the emperor's proposal, and even specially built a large chess room for Yu Qiupei.
The chess room is in the style of Bagua - a huge regular octagon. On each side is a hexagram, and a chessboard is placed. In the center of the Bagua, a large yin and yang pattern is drawn. When the time comes
, each challenger will sit on the chessboard with the hexagrams drawn on it and play chess with Yu Qiuping, while Yu Qiuping will wander around in the hexagrams and compete with every chess player. Beside each chessboard, there are
An hourglass and a bell. After a chess player makes a move, he can turn the hourglass upside down and shake the bell to signal to Yu Qiuping that he has made a move. If Yu Qiuping fails to respond before the sand in the hourglass drains out, Yu Qiuping will lose.
.
The new gameplay of Oda Nobunaga and Emperor Masachikamachi made Uakiupei miserable. Originally, if it was a one-on-one competition, Uakiupei asked himself that these 8 people were not his opponents. But Oda Nobunaga and the emperor actually
A game of one against eight was arranged, which increased the difficulty exponentially. Yu Qiuping's thinking time was shortened to one-eighth, and he also had to consider and calculate the situation of eight chess games at the same time, which was very easy to memorize.
Wrong, the train of thought will definitely be interrupted, making it almost difficult to think deeply and long about any chess game. And constantly changing positions among 8 chessboards is also a test for Yu Qiuping's physical strength.
However, the more exciting this competition is, the more it attracts everyone's interest - after all, no one wants to see Yu Qiuping win forever. On October 26, the day of the Go arena, the entire Kyoto was packed with people, regardless of whether they knew Go or not.
Everyone gathered around the Bagua chess room. At the end of the corridor behind each hexagram, there was a large open-air platform with a giant chessboard hanging on it. The person named Xiao who was responsible for copying the chess games in the court to the outside would be on the giant chessboard outside.
The game between the player of this hexagram and Yu Qiupei was broadcast live on the chessboard. Oda Nobunaga even cleared some famous Go players who failed to be selected, and he explains it here.
"You boy, you must win for me." Before going on stage, Oda Nobunaga did not forget to put pressure on Yu Qiupei, "This is the time to declare to the world the power of our Oda family. You Yuqiu Hongye can deal with it all by yourself at the same time.
Eight people means that our Oda family can fight against opponents from all directions at the same time. If you win, you will tell the world that you can't do anything to the Oda family if you come together!"
"Lord... this is too difficult for me." Yu Qiuping said to Oda Nobunaga with a sad face, "How on earth can I win... My lord, try it yourself. If you beat eight against one, you won't even be able to win against the dog."
"I don't care." Oda Nobunaga laughed and patted Yu Qiuping on the shoulder, "Do you still remember, the last time you made Yu angry, you used a 'celebrity' to make me calm down! This time, if you use
If you don’t leave the competition, I will settle the score with you for your great achievements!”
"Lord..." Yu Qiuping's face was full of black lines, and he whispered resentfully, "I didn't say it, this is really too difficult..."
"There are so many difficult things! How difficult can it be compared to using half of the troops to fight Takeda Shingen's Koshu Army in the field? How difficult can it be compared to leading 800 people to hold off the Miyoshi family's tens of thousands of troops? How difficult can it be?
Is it harder than taking 200 slaves to defend a broken city in front of the 6,000 troops of the Oda family?" Oda Nobunaga strode away in high spirits, and at the same time smiled at Yu Qiuping, "Don't be afraid of the difficulty! No matter how difficult it is, it can still be more difficult than deploying weapons in the world.
Is it? What I want is someone who can follow my footsteps, not someone who shouts about difficulties all day long! Just find a way to solve the difficulties!"
