Chapter 786
Wei Wu took the letter and opened it. It was indeed written in Chinese characters.
But now was not the time to deal with this matter, so he just took a quick look and closed it.
"Okay, I received the stuff. I'll take a closer look at it later. You wait outside. I have something to take care of."
"Hi!"
The guard responded respectfully and then followed Shen Lin out of the house.
At this time, Wei Wu looked at Hosokawa Sawato again and asked:
"Well, Governor Hosokawa Sawato, have you made up your mind?"
As I said before, Hosokawa Sawato is a person who will sell anything if he sees hope of survival.
If Hou Yuanrong's guards had not appeared, he would definitely not have believed it so easily, but now he believed Wei Wu's words.
After all, Hosokawa Sawato was also the shogun's governor, and his identity was very valuable to the royal family.
Since the person in front of him and the royal family are going to deal with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and the shogunate, it is very logical to recruit him.
So, when he heard Wei Wu's question again, Hosokawa Sawato did not hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement.
"I am willing to turn from darkness to light, become a pawn in the hands of the former emperor, and help the royal family keep an eye on the shogunate's intelligence!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Wu immediately laughed and said in a gentle tone:
"Very good, you made a very wise choice. Since he is one of us, then stop kneeling and give him a seat."
At Wei Wu's command, the Wuchang Squad immediately brought a chair for Hosokawa Sawato to sit on.
When he sat down, Hosokawa Sawato deliberately glanced at Imagawa Ryotoshi, his eyes full of threats.
He had already made up his mind that after today's incident, he would make this damn guy pay a heavy price.
But just as he was daydreaming in his mind, he heard Wei Wu's voice again.
"You will meet Hou Yuanrong's guards in a while, but before that, you should tell me what I want to know!"
"Yes!"
After Wei Wu finished speaking, Hosokawa Sawato immediately bowed his head in response, and then continued:
"Because those working in the workshop are all lowly people, they were placed in Ukyo, but the work of making artillery is very important."
"So the shogunate didn't arrange the workshop too far away, but on Nijo Sanbo Madai-koji near Ouchi-ri."
Ukyo Nijo Sanbo Madai-koji!
After Hosokawa Sawato finished speaking, Wei Wu immediately wrote down the address and then continued to ask:
"What about the craftsman?"
After his identity changed, Hosokawa Sawato became much more proactive in answering questions and gave answers immediately.
"The craftsmen were divided into two groups, each living in a different place. The craftsmen looted from the Ming Dynasty were gathered together."
"Local craftsmen all live in their own homes because they have family matters to attend to. They just need to go to work on time every day."
Hearing this, Wei Wu thought that the Japanese pirates were discriminating against and exploiting the craftsmen they had looted from the Ming Dynasty.
So I quickly asked.
"How are the craftsmen doing?"
Seeing Wei Wu's concern for the craftsmen, Hosokawa Sawato quickly explained:
"Don't worry, sir. The shogunate has not treated the craftsmen we looted from the Ming Dynasty unfairly. They are all well entertained."
"In order to let them teach our craftsmen real skills, we assign them women every day and also give them rewards."
"We arranged them together just to make it easier to entertain them. Their location is not bad either, very close to the inner courtyard."
Ouchi-ri was the imperial palace of the Japanese pirates. Even though Ukyo was not as prosperous as Sakyo, its location close to the imperial palace was definitely not bad.
However, after hearing Hosokawa Sawato's answer, Wei Wu felt some complicated and indescribable emotions in his heart.
After a moment's silence, he spoke:
"They seem to be living quite happily then! I guess they've taught you all those skills!"
"Yes, sir. They were a little scared at first, but by the second day they were no longer afraid and were very dedicated to teaching us the skills."
