    An old man with white hair and beard, wearing kuzu clothes and hemp shoes, sat cross-legged in front of the inner library door. He looked at Kira Mansongmaru for a long time, and then said in an old voice: "I hope the owner can keep his promise! This time, I will treat you as  I only lend it to my family's business! Please remember the laws of the Kira family, even if you are the governor!" "I, Manshomaru, must keep it in mind!" Kira Manshomaru said with a sigh.  Finally getting through this, the old man motioned to a middle-aged man who was kneeling beside him. The latter immediately got up and walked over to open the inner treasury.  The inner storehouse of the Kira family is located in the most remote corner of the Honmaru. The surrounding area is blocked by corridors and woods. Apart from the inner storehouse that is locked all year round, there is only a small wooden house standing there alone. The owner of the small wooden house is this person.  An old man named Yoshitomi Kira, the great-uncle of Kira Manshomaru.  The middle-aged man's name was Kira Yoshiaki, and he was Kira Manshomaru's biological uncle. He had gone to the Kira Isshiki family to be the heir to the family governor. Later, after Isshiki Yaunao was born, he returned to the family and became the adopted son of Kira Yoshitomi.  The Kira family has always had an inner treasury that has always guarded the home. Originally, there were some members of the Ichira family and their retainers who also guarded here. It was just because the Kira family declined successively. With the advent of the Warring States Period, people's hearts gradually became impetuous, and not many people were willing to guard it.  An inner vault that is sealed all year round.  Every year, the Kira family would routinely deposit a deposit worth several hundred to several thousand guan into their internal treasury. This was a tradition established by the Ashikaga Yoshiji when they first built Saijo Castle. It was originally intended to be used as expenses for the Ashikaga clan's future campaigns.  , and later gave this castle to the eldest son of the concubine, the first ancestor of the Kira family, the Kira Cho family, as a residence, and the Kira family also continued this tradition.  Kira Mansomaru rarely comes here to hang out, and even when he comes here, he doesn't look for them. It's because his great-uncle Kira Yoshitomi is really hard to get close to. His biological uncle Kira Yoshiaki was hit twice, and then he became a very dull person.  A boring person. It is said that Kira Yoshiaki once competed with his father for the family business, but it seemed that he failed in the end. He was then ordered to leave the Kira Isshiki clan and be named Isshiki Akira. Within two years of the Isshiki family, he was killed because of Isshiki.  Yao Zhi was born and returned to his family.  Later, his only son Kira Yoshifuyu, because he was young and energetic, did not listen to his dissuasion and went to follow the equally young Kira Yoshigo in the crusade against Arakawa Yoshitsune, the lord of Hachimi Castle. As a result, they both died in the battle at the source of the river at the foot of Bamen Mountain.  During the incident, it is said that he fell in the direction of Saijo Castle, still holding the Kira family's talisman to pray for victory in his hand. This incident gave him a huge blow. His wife soon died of illness, and he himself also changed.  More and more dull.  Kira Mansomaru looked around and found that he didn't see the jumping little girl, so he asked: "Uncle! How is Katsuki? I haven't seen her for a long time!" " Katsuki followed her mother.  I went to Honjoji Temple to make a wish. Recently, due to some reasons, I have been letting them live in the castle town." Kira Yoshiaki raised his head and looked at him, and then said dullly, Kira Katsuhime is Kira Yoshiaki and his successor.  The only daughter born to Mrs. Muro Ogasawara, she is one year younger than Kira Manshomaru. She is a very cute little girl and Kira Manshomaru's only childhood playmate.  The most unacceptable thing for Kira Mansomaru is that his aunt believes in the Ichikoku sect, and is a very devout one. Yoshiaki Kira is also a boring gourd, and the relationship between the couple is not very good. Katsuki has been seeing each other every now and then since she was very young.  Being taken away by his mother was something Kira Manshomaru was unhappy about.  "How can my daughter of the Kira family live in the castle town? Zenjiro, take people to Honjoji Temple to bring back my aunt and Katsuhime." "Yes!" Yamaoka Zenjiro stood up in response and ran away with a few people who were nearby.  go out.  "Uncle! I want to take Katsuki to Kyoto and receive public etiquette lessons in Kyoto so that I can marry a good husband." Kira Manshomaru was very dissatisfied with his aunt's performance and decided to take this opportunity to take Katsuki away.  "But Shengji is only eight years old" "With Aju taking care of her, I can rest assured compared to my uncle! Aju is a relative of my mother, but he is a person with impeccable character and etiquette!"  Having accidentally sold Aju again, Kira Mansomaru could only secretly say sorry and find a way to compensate him in the future.  "I understand! I will leave Katsuki to the owner!" Kira Yoshiaki heartily agreed for the sake of his daughter's future.  "Very good! I'll leave it to my uncle to take care of my aunt!" Kira Manshomaru smiled at him and nodded slightly, then walked into the inner treasury with Isshiki Shiro.  I originally thought that the inner treasury would be covered with dust because it had not been moved for many years. However, after entering, I found that my understanding was wrong. The ground was indeed covered with dust, but all the coins were covered with black cloth.  After the cloth, you can see the true appearance. There are various types of coins. There are more than twenty types of Song coins, and each type of copper coin has a different color. Ming coins are generally large and medium-sized.?, Hongwu Tongbao, Yongle Tongbao, and a small amount of Jiajing Tongbao.  Kira Wansongmaru made a rough estimate and found that the reserves of Song money were very small, probably because the treasury was opened and used three times. The total was less than one thousand guanwen. Mingqian was quite a lot. He counted it and it was about 8,000 guanwen.  The appearance of writing is the result of saving a little bit of the remaining funds every year. Diligence and thrift in housekeeping have been the family motto of the Wu family in any era.  "Don't touch the Song money, take out the Ming money five thousand guanwen!" Kira Mansongmaru gritted his teeth and reported a huge number. Come closer, everyone, look at me, I look at you, you don't dare to move, there is a stalemate.  It's not a problem to go down, Isshiki Shiro quickly urged: "Hurry up and do it! Five thousand guanwen! If you take one more guanwen, you know what the consequences will be!" "Yes!" Everyone started to carry strings of copper coins, Kira  Wan Songmaru stood under the light with a gloomy expression on his face, "This is a desperate operation. I don't know what the outcome of going to Luo will be. If it fails, I, the governor, will be in trouble! So! Let's just place a big bet!  " It was already evening when dozens of people walked out of the inner treasury carrying copper coins. Kira Yoshitomi and Kira Yoshiaki were sitting on their knees outside the gate with livid faces. When they saw Kira Mansomaru coming out, the white-haired uncle was furious.  Jie Zhang: "Wansongmaru! Do you want my Kira family to perish? Emptying the inner treasury is a self-destructive act! Your father and ancestors will not be at peace even if they are alive in heaven!" Although the old man is over seven years old,  Ten days old, but he is in good health and has no illness or disaster. He has always been a noble and special person in the family, guarding the inner treasury. When he gets angry, even the warriors of the Kira family dare not step forward to dissuade him, but Kira Manshomaru cannot retreat.  He has a reason not to retreat. There are more than 1,600 people waiting for food and drink. Without money, how can he be the governor of the family?  "Uncle! I understand! I understand all of this!" Kira Manshomaru lowered his face and walked to sit on the ground opposite Kira Yoshitomi. He looked at each other for a moment with eyes as sharp as knives and said seriously: "I, Kira Manshomaru,  He is an unworthy descendant of the Kira clan! He cannot keep his ancestral legacy, so he has no choice but to surrender to the Imagawa clan and survive But! I am not willing to accept it! My ancestors are Minamoto no Yoshikuni and Ashikaga Yoshiyasu!  I can't sit back and watch the decline of our family! So the Kira family must fight for their lives! If they don't win, they will die! If they don't prosper, they will die.  Well! You are worthy of being a descendant of Taro Hachiman! With your courage, even if the Kira family is really destroyed! Remember your words! Be worthy of your ancestors!  Genji bloodline!" Kira Yoshitomi stood up and returned to his cabin. Kira Yoshiaki just glanced at him and nodded and followed him, leaving Kira Manshomaru sitting alone in the sunset in a daze.  Looking at the flaming clouds on the horizon, Kira Mansomaru shed tears unconsciously, "I seem to have integrated into this bad era! Father! Mother! I will not let you down. I will remember today's oath. If I don't win, I will die! No!"  To thrive is to perish!¡±
