The banquet was held in a Japanese-style building, and the indoor decoration was simple, with an ancient painting, a pot of foliage plants, ancient porcelain vases and other antiques to show simplicity and elegance.
Pei Ziyun was deep in thought.
1,200 koku, this is an ancient system. The Taige land inspection regulations are 15 koku per town in Ueda, 13 koku per town in Nakata, and 11 koku per town in Shimoda. 1 town = 15 acres, which means that the output of one stone is equal to one mu.
The original specification of Jinchuan Shrine is 700 koku, and now it means giving another 500 acres. Although this is at the foot of the mountain, the land price in Japan last month was more than 1193567 yen per acre. 500 acres is 600 million yen. Since the address is in Chiba It is in the central part of the prefecture, so the actual price may be 1 billion yen.
Even now, this is a huge sum of money, not to mention that this is a status improvement, the shogunate sequence, 100-500 koku is a lower-level banner, and a salary of 500 koku and above is considered an intermediate level. Originally, the Jinchuan Shrine was in this series, Qianshi The above are senior banners in the shogunate and can hold important positions.
In the Shinkawa shogunate, there are 23,600 flags, 73 people are over 5,000 koku, 21 are over 6,000 koku, 12 are over 7,000 koku, 4 are over 8,000 koku, and only 2 are over 9,000 koku.
With 1,200 koku, he was considered a high-ranking bannerman in the shogunate, and among the actual feudal lords, he was considered the family elder.
Pei Ziyun stared at the appointment letter in silence. Togawa Jiuxing personally filled up the wine for Pei Ziyun and said, "Yamada-kun, why are you hesitating?"
"The Jinchuan Shrine was originally a retainer within the shogunate. Of course, now it is a democratic society. We just want to cooperate better with Yamada-kun."
"Cooperation? How to cooperate?" Pei Ziyun took the wine glass, touched it lightly, drank it all, and also filled Togawa Jiuxing's wine glass.
"There is no need for Mr. Yamada to serve according to the ancient rites." Togawa Jiuxing also drank a gulp, smelling slightly drunk, and said sincerely. He is a very charming person, and he is a rich man (real estate alone is ), as well as senior officials of the shogunate, but they did not have the arrogance of being superior to others, and their attitude was as warm as spring breeze, and they were very friendly. He said: "Yamada-kun can definitely have his own life, as long as he can help the shogunate with some things in his spare time."
"Please rest assured, Yamada-kun, our treatment is very generous. The intelligence network will be shared with Yamada-kun, some departments will be dispatched by Yamada-kun, and some companies and trading companies will open resources to the Yamada family."
"As for the trouble just now, we will also solve it. The major is just a local armed force. Although the local area is a little disobedient now, our strength is still there. This trouble can still be solved and we cannot cause big troubles."
"Let alone daily life, it is our duty as friends to make the Yamada family happy."
"Of course, Yamada-kun will officially enter the shogunate. We warmly welcome him. We dare not promise anything else. Yamada-kun will at least be a major general in the army when he is thirty years old." Togawa Hisaki smiled, thinking of the young man in front of him in literature. He leaned forward and said, "If you take the path of a civil servant, you will definitely become a minister."
Minister is the Japanese term. The Japanese cabinet consists of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the Defense Agency, the National Public Security Commission, the Imperial Household Agency and other provincial departments. The top leaders of these provincial departments are called ministers or ministers. Sir, equivalent to minister.
With that said, Togawa Jiuxing felt that it was almost done, so he raised his glass and tried again.
To be honest, this treatment couldn't be more generous. Pei Ziyun nodded, raised his glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and then lowered his head slightly: "Then, I will accept it."
Togawa Jiuxing was overjoyed and clapped his hands: "Great, Yamada-kun is really happy!"
After the talks were completed, it was a formal banquet. However, in reality, although Kaiseki cuisine is very famous, it has now surpassed the one-juice-three-course format and consists of 9 dishes - appetizer, mugwort tofu, and fried and boiled dried fish. , appetizer, thinly sliced Akashi sea bream, main soup, boiled gluten with white miso soup and taro sprouts, boiled vegetables, conger eel with grilled matsutake mushrooms, fried vegetables, fried dried seabass, mixed stew, eight-inch, vinegar pickled vegetables, and each The utensils for the dishes were very particular and were handmade by craftsmen, but Pei Ziyun still felt that he was not full.
"A meal for one person costs 150,000 yen. What the hell, but for Togawa Hisaki, it should be enough."
After Togawa Jiuxing had a political conversation, he stopped talking about those things and talked exclusively about literature. He was witty and knowledgeable, which showed a lot of goodwill.
Many of Pei Ziyun's literary works are indeed copycats, but this does not mean that he is empty-handed. On the contrary, he can also be said to be first-rate in literary attainments. His casual answers made Togawa Jiuxing admire him, and there was harmony during the dinner. Harmony, both host and guest are happy.
After the meal was over and they said goodbye to each other, Pei Ziyun walked through the corridor and came to the gate to get in the car, but found that there was another car in front of the car, and there was already someone there. It turned out to be Bando Aiko.
After not seeing her for a year and a half, I saw her with sparkling eyes, black hair hanging down, and she looked more girlish. Pei Ziyun bowed slightly and said, "Aizi, long time no see."
Bando Aiko said: "Long time no see. I just took a look and Naomi is still asleep. You and I can ride in the same car. It was Togawa-sama's stage just now, so it's hard for me to intervene."
Pei Ziyun understood what she meant. She wanted to avoid suspicion, which proved their relationship. He smiled and said, "This is my honor."
With that said, Pei Ziyun opened the door for her. Bando Aiko smiled and got into the car.
After closing the door for Bando Aizi, Pei Ziyun came to the opposite side of the car and got in, sitting side by side with Bando Aizi. The two cars drove slowly and at an extremely steady speed.
There was silence in the car for a long time before Bando Aiko said: "I can't believe you have changed so much in such a short period of time."
Pei Ziyun smiled: "Does it mean that I have changed? I don't think so."
Indeed, for him, he only regained a little strength, but Bando Aiko naturally didn't think so, with a complicated expression: "I have watched the video. Although it is only a local armed force, the strength of a squadron cannot be underestimated, and the weapons It is a standard modern military weapon, without moisture!"
"You annihilated 200 people in one fell swoop, and the process took less than half an hour. How could you not scare me?"
It not only surprises you, it also surprises the shogunate. Otherwise, you wouldn't be as polite as before. Pei Ziyun smiled and said, "You are the Spring Bird Princess. In theory, you can achieve it."
"I'm not good at fighting, and my body is even less capable." Bando Aiko said. Her body was still a mortal body. She could be killed with one shot. It was not like Pei Ziyun, who could withstand bullets. After a pause, she He asked seriously: "What did you gain from going this time?"
"It solved a lot of my confusion." Pei Ziyun also answered seriously.
"for example?"
"For example, evil spirits killing people, in my opinion, this is impossible."
"The ghosts are actually lower than humans, and it is difficult to interfere with people. But when I got to the opposite side, I understood that this is actually a kind of space folding."
"In other words, the so-called evil ghosts who kill people are actually temporarily pulled to the opposite space. In that space, evil ghosts can kill people."
"For example, the first time I met an evil ghost at Ishiwata Cheng's house, the fog appeared, but it was actually pulled to the other side. Of course, it was incomplete, so the evil ghost had to possess someone to kill people."
"The space I went to this time is a complete space, and there are also a series of monsters and ghosts that are not currently in our world, and they can kill people directly."
"In other words, that is their home field."
Seeing Bando Aiko listening attentively, Pei Ziyun smiled: "I will write a summary of this part and send it to you via email in a few days."
"Thank you very much." Bando Aiko said, paused, and then said: "If possible, I would like to arrange positions for your family members in the company. Of course, I will ask reliable people to take care of them. You know Asako , she is the driver who sent you here, she is my direct driver, she is very skilled and trustworthy."
"You may not be able to take good care of the people at Jinchuan Shrine now."
"To be specific, your father is now the minister. I will ask the company to invite your father to become the minister of internal affairs in my company. This will reduce the risk."
Although he is also a minister, a small company and a consortium are completely different things. This is a leap in life and career.
"I will also arrange for Naomi Hayakawa's father, and we can also receive services from the company's security department. Our security personnel are selected on a merit-based basis. In the company, you can rest assured of their personal safety. I think this way, you can also have less worries. , feel more at ease when doing things."
Pei Ziyun nodded in agreement. If he had been Da Xu in his previous life, he would have suspected that the other party wanted to hold hostages. But now, he is already a demigod. Even if he kills many demons and ghosts, it will not be difficult to restore the true god. The power of the true god is not modern at all. Civilization can imagine.
However, Bando Saeko did not expect that Yamada Shinichi would trust her so much. She paused, bowed her head for a moment to express her gratitude for the trust, and then smiled sweetly, her expression suddenly brightened: "As for your Saeko, to be honest, I am very surprised, Junchuan The shrine is full of geniuses..."
Bando Aiko said that the car had arrived, and she was at the Yamada family in front of her. She did not continue talking, but just warned: "By the way, I didn't tell your family about the disappearance. I only said that I went to study abroad for an inspection."
"I see."
I haven't been back for a year and a half, and the society outside has also undergone tremendous changes, but the Yamada family seems to be exactly the same. When Pei Ziyun got out of the car, he saw Saeko and Sakagami Sanqianko coming out.
Sanchiko Sakagami had long eyelashes hanging down, walking in small steps, wearing a colorful kimono, and her light-colored wooden clogs clicked on the ground. She had not been seen for a year and a half, and she had become more girlish.
And Saeko has also changed a lot. She has no expression at all. She folds her hands in front of her belly and walks in small steps. She still looks very cute and cute.
Arriving at the door, Sanqianzi Sakagami bowed respectfully according to the ancient ritual: "Yamada-den, welcome back."
The Japanese are the only nation that continues the ancient ritual of kneeling down to the present day. The strictness of their etiquette is difficult for people from other countries to understand.
"Brother!" When Xiangzi saw the person, something changed, and he rushed towards him as soon as his eyes lit up.
Time passed by, and she already had a bit of a graceful temperament. Pei Ziyun reached out to catch her, then touched her head and frowned - he could feel the murderous aura in her body. It seemed that she had gone through a lot of battles in the past year and a half. .
