Chapter 787 Keihan Wushuang·Osaka's Kirin'er, Feng Jian Yima! 【4500】

"Aoto, look! That's the famous 'Dojima Rice Market' right there!"

"The price of rice all over the world is based on the price of Dojima Rice Market!"

"To a certain extent, the stability of the Dojima rice market determines the safety of the entire world!"

“Continue walking along this street and you will reach the famous ‘Shinmachi’!”

"If you twitch your nose hard, you can smell the alluring fragrance of powder."

"Ah, Qingto, don't worry, I will never let you go to Shinmachi!"

"If I find out that you have gone to Shinmachi or other places, I will inform Miss Chiba and Xiaoji as soon as possible, and complain to grandma!"

"That magnificent castle that reaches into the sky is Osaka Castle!"

"Unfortunately, this Osaka Castle was rebuilt by the Edo shogunate after the Toyotomi family was destroyed."

"The original 'Toyotomi Family Osaka Castle' has long been reduced to ashes in the 'Osaka Summer Formation'."

"It is said that the 'Toyotomi Family Osaka Castle' is far more magnificent than this 'Tokugawa Family Osaka Castle'. I really want to see it with my own eyes!"

“Aoto, did you know? It is said that ‘Japan’s number one soldier’ Sanada Yukimura is Chacha’s lover! Toyotomi Hideyori’s biological father is Sanada Yukimura!

"When the Toyotomi family was about to be destroyed, Sanada Yukimura hugged Chacha tightly and said, 'I Nobu Shige... will serve you until the end.' It's such a poignant story."

"But I also heard that Toyotomi Hideyori's biological father is not Sanada Yukimura, but Mori Katsunaga!"

"I always feel that all the 'Osaka Seven Generals' have an affair with Chacha... Who is Toyotomi Hideyori's biological father?"

…

After bidding farewell to the stranger, Aoto and Mai Kinoshita continued to visit the alleys of Osaka as planned.

Before setting off, Kinoshita Mai patted her chest and said to Qingnobo, "If you choose me as your tour guide, you will never be disappointed!"... It turns out that she was really not telling nonsense.

Because she grew up in Osaka, she has a deep understanding of this town.

She had at her fingertips all the important places in Osaka, as well as all kinds of unofficial history and rumors related to Osaka.

Just like right now - she is happily telling Qingdeng about Chacha's love story.

Chacha is the last mistress of the Toyotomi family.

It is said that in order to consolidate her status, she gave Toyotomi Hideyoshi a huge cuckold so that she could get pregnant smoothly. Therefore, Toyotomi Hideyori, the second generation head of the Toyotomi family, was not Toyotomi Hideyoshi's father.

As for who Toyotomi Hideyori's "wild daddy" is, there are many versions, from "Osaka Sanye daddy" to "Osaka Nanye daddy", which makes people laugh.

Osaka was once the main city of the Toyotomi family, so there are many legends related to the Toyotomi family.

What "the bloodline of the Toyotomi family has not been cut off", what "the descendants of the Toyotomi family want to overthrow the Edo shogunate and restore the glory of the Toyotomi family"... all kinds of strange unofficial rumors made Aonto sigh with emotion:

The imagination of the people is indeed rich!

Kinoshita Mai seems to be particularly fond of the Toyotomi family's unofficial history.

After getting up, she kept talking with bright eyes and was very enthusiastic.

Although the unofficial rumors mentioned by Kinoshita Mai were more nonsense than the last and were comparable to "Nurhachi relied on selling ditches to earn military expenses", Qingden still listened with interest.

First of all, he was happy to see Kinoshita Mai showing such a happy expression.

Secondly, these anecdotes are quite interesting! Especially the anecdotes about "Osaka Nanano Dad", Aoden was fascinated by it - there is no way, human beings have always been fond of such stories.

Thirdly, he wanted to know more about this town.

Recently, he doesn't just focus on eating, drinking, having fun and enjoying the happiness of rich people every day.

Although with the stroke of Kinoshita Rin's pen, Calabash House and the Qinjin clan formed a close offensive and defensive alliance, the specific details of the cooperation - such as "on which month and day, how much food will be delivered" - still need to be further discussed.

Ever since, Qingnobo's main work these days has been to meet, hold meetings, and negotiate with Kinoshita Rin.

How many meetings have been held and attended in the past few days? To be honest, Qingdeng has lost count.

In fact, it was not until this afternoon that this long and tedious work finally came to an end.

I just finished the work in Osaka today, and I have to rush back to Kyoto tomorrow without stopping... Aoto's schedule can be said to be full.

A "vacation" or something like that is simply a luxury.

Because he was so busy, he was able to visit Osaka, an ancient town with a long history, during the many days he came to Osaka.

Since Calabash House is already an ally of Qinjin Fan, he will probably visit this place frequently in the next few days.

All in all, it never hurts to know more about Osaka.

To be fair, Aomori quite likes Osaka.

In simple and easy-to-understand words...Osaka has a lot of fireworks.

Even just walking on the streets at night, Ainoto could clearly feel the significant differences between Osaka, Edo, and Kyoto.

Coincidentally, the "three capitals" represent three different cultures.

Edo represents the samurai culture of the gentry.

Kyoto represents the aristocratic public culture.

Osaka represents the culture of citizens and merchants.

Other places have always maintained the social hierarchical order of "scholars, farmers, industry and merchants".

The only exception is Osaka - it is a "merchants, farmers and workers".

In Osaka, merchants hold an unparalleled lofty status, and the townspeople are proud to be merchants.

On the surface, Osaka is a land under the direct jurisdiction of the shogunate.

But in fact, Osaka is governed by the "Osaka Sango" organized by businessmen. It has a very strong tradition of citizen autonomy and is more like an autonomous territory.

The characteristics of citizen autonomy give Osaka a "freedom" that other towns and cities cannot match, and the political environment is very relaxed.

As economic activities developed, the seeds of capitalism gradually emerged.

Giant merchants with capital and raw materials hired free-status townspeople to produce for market needs.

A large number of workshops with the characteristics of modern factories have appeared in Osaka Town for a long time.

Economic prosperity, coupled with a relaxed political environment, has created a flourishing citizen culture.

The lights are bright and the people are buzzing.

In the streets and lanes, all kinds of arts are flourishing.

Hanging railings and tiled houses, hairpins and flowers for sightseeing.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this prosperity that the people of Osaka have such a bold and special way of dealing with others.

Qingdeng liked this kind of fireworks very much.

For him, if he is looking for a place to retire, Osaka is a very good choice.

At this time, Aoto was listening carefully to Mai Kinoshita's "Osakano History Lecture" and casually looking at the surrounding street scene——

“Ho…! Ho…! Ho…! Ho…! Ho…!”

With the blessing of "Perceiver of Wind +4", Qingden, who has excellent hearing, suddenly heard heavy breathing.

Qingdeng looked around - not far away, an old monk with a shiny bald head and shabby cassocks was holding the earth wall with both hands, and kept making rapid sounds, as if mixed with sand.

Breathing sound.

At this time, Kinoshita Mai also discovered the old monk.

She couldn't care less about her "Osaka Unofficial History Lecture" and hurriedly said to Aoshito:

"Qingdeng, look! That old monk seems a little weird!"

Qingden nodded.

"Well, let's go! Let's go see what's going on."

His words were obviously redundant.

Because he hadn't finished speaking, Kinoshita Mai had already strode towards the old monk.

Although he has temporarily "goed out of business" due to joining the Shinsengumi, the hateful "cat monk" has always been an inseparable "half" of Mai Kinoshita.

When she saw someone in need of help, how could she just sit back and ignore it?

She moved to the old monk's side like the wind, supported his shoulders, and asked eagerly:

"Sama, what's wrong with you? Do you need help?"

Qingden arrived slowly and helped the old monk with Kinoshita Mai.

"Um?"

After seeing the old monk's face clearly, Qingdeng raised his eyebrows with a look of surprise on his face.

He knows this person.

It was the "remnant of the Great Salt Party" whom I met by chance on my first day in Osaka.

Qingzhen remembered that his name was "Deng Wulang".
