Chapter 78 Hibiki
After receiving the news, there was no point in staying here any longer, so Nomura said goodbye in a hurry and left. Only Kazuo Sagara seemed to enjoy the road to hell. He strolled along the dark red mountain path, stepping on the slightly slippery stone steps, not caring about the smell of blood that still hadn't dissipated, and was in the mood to watch the various bloodstains blooming on the mountain walls on both sides.
Compared to his pale face and gloomy temperament when he first came, Kazuo Sagara at this moment seemed to have gotten rid of the shadows and broken free from the shackles. His body and mind were enjoying freedom. Even though he was in hell, because his situation in the Sagara family would only get worse and not better, he still became the happy man he is now.
Distorted happiness is still happiness, and Kazuo Sagara enjoys it anyway.
"The main target of the Fukushima family this time is the Sagara family?" Because there were twenty more samurai at his disposal, Yiyu Jing had little time to come and report on his work. However, what he just said made Yan Xu feel a little curious, after all, the Fukushima family had just sent troops.
"Although Kazuo Sagara behaved properly, the smile in his eyes was hardly hidden, at least when facing us." Yi Yu Jing actually had some guesses in her heart, but the answer was so shocking that she didn't dare to speak it out easily.
"So he is the mastermind behind the Fukushima family's attack on the Sagara family?" Although Yi Yujing didn't say it, Yan Xu could guess it, so he said it directly.
"He may or may not be the mastermind, but he was definitely involved and pushed this matter forward." Since the adults had already said it, Yi Yujing no longer hid it and spoke up.
"Okay, but that's not important. What's important is what benefits the Zhuxing family can get from it." Yan Xu said indifferently. Now his focus has jumped out of war and death. He is no longer limited or entangled in these things. In comparison, interests are more concerned by him, and this is more in line with the thinking of the superiors.
"Komizu Town." Yi Yujing said decisively.
"It doesn't belong to any faction. It's an excellent port and a mature commercial street. After the Moroboshi family obtains the warships, they will be able to occupy it and collect land and water tariffs." Yi Yu Jing obviously had some plans for Komizu Town before the war, so what she said was very organized.
Yan Xu, who originally wanted to build a port near the territory, suddenly remembered that there was a ready-made one. In this case, why waste time and energy? Wouldn't it be faster to just rob it? At that time, he would only need to build a dock in the territory.
The only problem is who will manage Komizu Town after it is occupied. It is not a village, and one cannot just focus on farming.
Omizu Town's commerce, freight, trade, and entertainment all have a solid foundation. It would be a pity if it were to decline due to poor management.
But the problem is that most people can’t manage it well.
Komizu Town is in a lawless area and has long established its own way of operation, and has never even paid taxes.
Therefore, managers must not only be proficient in business management, but also be ruthless. Otherwise, they will not be able to gain a stable foothold.
Yi Yujing is quite capable, and after the battle with the Otomo family, she has also learned how to manage Komizu Town well, but Yan Xu does not want to take over the territory after she leaves.
It was fine before, there were not many people in the territory, and there were not many things to do. But as the territory became famous and the population increased, the things to do in the territory also increased. Although there were nothing important, it was complicated and could not be sorted out by the warriors alone.
"There are still too few talented people." Yan Xu muttered, then thought of something and said to Yi Yujing.
"Is it possible for Kazuo Sagara to join the Moroboshi family?"
Yan Xu's bold question shocked Yi Yujing, because everyone could see that Xiangliang Kazuo was going crazy, or had already gone crazy, so who was crazy to recruit a madman? !
To Yan Xu, it didn't matter whether the other party was crazy or not, even if the other party was preparing to destroy his entire family. It was an old tradition of the Japanese that after he had destroyed his entire family, they would change his name to Sasuke Itachi.
By then, it will be Kazuo Sagara who will destroy his entire family. What does it have to do with me, Sasuke and Itachi?
"We can try to have him serve in the Moroboshi family privately." Although he didn't understand, Yi Yujing thought about it and thought that he could still give it a try. After all, Sagara Kazuo was trained as a daimyo, and he was not comparable to ordinary people. Yan Xu didn't say it casually before. He did have ideas about Sagara Kazuo, but not only because of his talent, but also because of his nonsense, extreme personality and cruel methods, so he wanted to train him to see if he could train a demon sword.
Time flies. After the new world opens, Yan Xu's focus will definitely shift there. If there is more potential, he will definitely not be able to take care of the Japanese world.
But it would be a pity to give up. After all, the gold, silver and human resources here are quite abundant, so his foundation in the Japanese world must be handed over to a trustworthy person to manage.
Ichiba Shizuka has some talent, but it is not enough, while Sagara Kazuo was trained to be the successor to the daimyo. Both his vision and talent are above ordinary people. This is a difference in background, which is difficult to make up for later.
In addition, his physical disability prevents Kazuo Sagara from truly seizing the rights bestowed upon him by Yan Xu. At the same time, his extreme personality allows him to be ruthless and take action, so he is a very suitable candidate.
Even if he has to give up the Japanese world in the future, Yan Xu will choose to hand over the foundation here to Kazuo Sagara.
For the specific reasons, you can refer to Dongfang Bubai, who was obsessed with embroidery to support her man in her later years.
He is not a man and has no offspring, so it would be strange if he is not messy down there.
Next was the time to discuss territory affairs. Since Yi Yujing had already sorted them out, all that was needed was to agree or deny, so it didn't take much time.
After Yi Yujing finally left, Yan Xu, who was about to go back to sleep, learned that someone else wanted to see him, and it was Sen Ya, who was in charge of the management of the territory shrine. He had no choice but to force himself to meet the person.
"What's the matter?" Yan Xu, who was already feeling increasingly tired, said weakly.
"Sir, the mountain shrine has been destroyed and needs to be rebuilt. In addition, the mountain god has a new famous title. Do you want to accept it and announce it to the outside world?" Sen Ya said in a serious tone.
"The mountain shrine will begin to be rebuilt tomorrow. Also, when did the Red Ghost get a new name?" Yan Xu asked, trying to muster up some energy.
"It was given by someone from the Otomo family." Sen Ya's answer left Yan Xu with a lot of questions.
Although the Red Ghost is a powerful force, especially after being heavily armed, it is a killing machine on the battlefield.
But the Red Ghost is still a ghost after all, and once it kills too many people, it will become an evil ghost, so Yan Xu has always treated her as a gatekeeper. Even after the fierce fighting began, he asked her to squat near the Guandi statue with a lot of delicious food and drinks.
So how did those people from the Otomo family guess it when the red ghost's face wasn't even revealed?
Then Yan Xu realized that it was all a misunderstanding, but it was also a good thing.
The ghosts and gods in Japan are very strange, they have no method of cultivation, and can only rely on humans as time goes by.
Human beings’ faith and fear can both enhance the power of ghosts and gods, it’s just that faith is in gods and fear is in ghosts.
Reverence is also a kind of belief, so this is a good thing. Therefore, Yan Xu agreed to change Hong Gui's name, and from today on, she would be called Xiang Gui.
