Pillars of the Wu family

"Wait! Aju, what did you just say?" Kirayoshi, who was eating pastries, seemed to hear a familiar name, and asked, turning his head, "You said Tiger Princess told you?"

Aju nodded her head as a matter of course and said: "Yes! Princess Hu Ji told Aju that she regretted her recklessness, but she also expressed unforgivable His Highness's bad behavior!"

"Eh? When did you and Tiger Princess become..." Yoshihiro Kira wanted to use another word to express it, but he really couldn't express it clearly. He held back for a long time before saying: "Become a close friend in a boudoir?"

"Close friend?" Aju tilted her head and thought for a long time, then she said with some comprehension: "It's really a very good description! It's like handing in a handkerchief! Your Highness is really amazing!"

Mochizuki Chiyomi shook her two ponytails and echoed: "Yes! Your Highness can always say a lot of things that Chiyomi can't understand...the most amazing!"

"Hey, hey! Don't bring up the wrong topic, I think Aju should answer my question first!" Yoshiki Kira could no longer complain about Aju's off-line temperament. As for that idiot Lolita, she gave up treatment completely plan.

"That's right! When I was still in Kyoto, Aju was already a close friend with Princess Huji! In the past few months, when His Highness took the warriors to go hunting with eagles, Aju would make many delicious dishes. The cakes are for Princess Hu Ji, and of course Axu and the others also have a share!"

"Woo! I want to eat it too! It's so painful for Chiyoko not to eat!" Lori was so stupid that tears filled her big eyes, she blinked and looked at Aju pitifully, and soon Aju touched her head tenderly. She comforted her and said, "Don't worry, the lost share will definitely be made up for Qiandainv!"

The idiot Loli burst into tears immediately and laughed.Holding Aju in her arms, she cheered happily: "Okay, okay! Chidai girl likes sister Aju the most!"

"Asshole! I don't know at all. The off-line maid who has been hiding by my side is so powerful!" Ji Liangyishi suddenly regretted, did he not pay attention to his life too much, and lived for himself every day , very hard and boring, even the maid who has been taking care of me for more than ten years doesn't understand, and being a human being is considered a failure.

"What is His Highness talking about? Why can't Aju understand?"

"That's right! Chiyoko can't understand either!" The two people, one big and one small, stared at him with question marks all over their heads.

"It's nothing..." Immediately getting rid of the distracting thoughts in his head, Ji Liangyi said again: "I think Aju should bravely shoulder the responsibility of dredging the relationship between Hu Ji and me. Is it?"

"Your Highness, Aju probably understands!" Aju agreed without thinking too much this time, clasped her hands together and said, "As long as Your Highness and Princess Hu Ji get along well, it will be perfect!"

"Then please!"

While the chaotic post-disaster reconstruction work was going on, the March evaluation meeting was held as scheduled. This time, it was a bimonthly big evaluation. Hundreds of warriors sat on both sides of the large room, and the expressions on both sides were serious and even slightly hostile.

"The long-tailed bullets are here!"

"Mr. Kira Takee is here!"

The two names were sung almost at the same time.In the dark hall, hundreds of warriors all leaned on the ground, and the long-tailed Jinghu in a white monk robe held a rosary.The waist and hips of Xiaodou grew bright, strode to the main seat and sat down, and behind him was Ji Liangyi, wearing a white hunting suit, wearing a black hat, holding a bat fan, except that he did not apply powder, shaved his eyebrows and blackened his teeth. The whole is dressed like a decadent public official in Kyoto and a child of the samurai family.

Kira Yoshitoki sat cross-legged beside Nagao Keitora, and the two sat side by side. The side of Nagao Keitora sitting on the left was all samurai from Echigo, and the one sitting on the right hand side of Kira Yoshitoki was Li It should be the samurai from Mikawa, Omi and even the shogunate. Since the two sides came to Daihiroma, they have neither whispered nor greeted each other. It is cold like a piece of ice that will not melt for thousands of years.

A long-tailed Jinghu samurai who was standing next to him said loudly, "The assessment meeting is about to start. Please report if you have anything to do."

As the chief political officer of the Kira family, Hosokawa Fujitaka immediately raised his head and said loudly: "Report to the main hall of the long-tailed bomb! The post-earthquake statistics have been completed. A total of 930 houses were damaged by the earthquake in the seven counties of Echigo. 280 people died, 440 people were injured, and nearly [-] people were homeless. More than [-]% of them received assistance from local lords and are starting to rebuild their houses. The other [-]% have been sent to live in temporary settlements near Zhijiangjin. .”

"Temporary settlement..." Changwei Jinghu was a little unaccustomed to this new word, repeated a few words in a low voice, and then asked, "How is it there?"

"Everything is normal. While rebuilding after the disaster, we have also formulated a set of renovation plans to strengthen public security, fire protection, and sanitation. First, we will conduct pilot projects in Kasugayama Castle Town, Naoetsu Port, and temporary resettlement sites. It is estimated that we will invest [-] Yongle coins. The construction period is about four months, and it is mainly used to improve the unreasonable layout of the houses in the town, which brings inconvenience to fire rescue and public security management, and at the same time improve the drainage facilities and increase the underground drains to reduce the adverse impact of water damage on the town consolidation.”

"There may be many roads!" Nagao Jinghu was already dizzy, and he didn't understand the meaning of a lot of unfamiliar words. He could only look sideways at Kirayoshi, who nodded and said, "Fuji Takado That’s right, list the project schedule and the schedule for the renovation of various facilities as soon as possible, and general requisitions will be collected as soon as possible, so don’t worry about food.”

"Yes!" Hosokawa Fujitaka continued: "It is estimated that 2000 people will be enlisted for general service, and everyone in Echigo needs to cooperate..."

"Wait, I have something to say!" Hojo Takahiro suddenly jumped out and shouted, "Don't worry about food. This season is when the crops are in short supply. Even our samurai don't have much food left. My Nagao family How can there be so much surplus food to feed these untouchables? Don’t you think so?”

"Yeah! How can there be so much surplus food!" Some samurai really followed suit, which made many samurai present feel dissatisfied. The important ministers including Honjo Shino and Nakajo Fujisuke frowned and cursed secretly: "This stupid and reckless wild boar is really looking for trouble."

I saw a large number of Echigo people echoing their voices.Hojo Takahiro said triumphantly: "Look? You don't have any surplus food in your hands. Presumably your master doesn't have much surplus food either. How much food do you need to feed 5000 people for a few months, and how much food do you need to conscript 2000 people? No. Think I don’t know, but I have served as the Deputy Commissioner of Kashiwazaki Port!”

Seeing Kirayoshi, he didn't speak, thinking he was speechless when asked, so he went on to say: "Speaking? The nobles from Kyoto don't know the climate of our Echigo, and they will be punished if they point fingers at random." We country warriors joked."

"Hahaha……"

"Looking for death!" Takatsuna Watanabe, who had endured for a long time, couldn't hold back any longer and jumped out. He drew out the sword at his waist and chopped it off. Hojo Takahiro was not a vegetarian either.Seeing a mighty and majestic man jumping out of Kira's house, he also retreated and drew his sword to confront him. Speaking of which, Watanabe Takatsuna's swordsmanship is above the standard line. Of course, Hojo Takahiro on the opposite side is not a master of swordsmanship. Even the slashes couldn't do anything to the opponent.

On the other hand, the Echigo samurai saw that the opponent dared to attack openly, and couldn't help jumping up and drawing out his sword. The same action was also made by the samurai of the Kira family. It reminded me of the farce when I was still in Sanhe a few years ago.

"Enough! Stop it!" Nagao Jinghu was furious, and shouted: "Where is Xiaoping? Catch these people for me!"

"Yes!" Teams of warriors rushed in, and without a word, they detained all the warriors who drew their swords.Under the hint of Jiliangyishi shaking his head, the samurai of Mikawa put away their weapons very cooperatively and waited to be dealt with, but Hojo Takahiro was still not convinced, and was unwilling to stop cursing.

Hojo Takahiro scolded angrily: "Why do you arrest me! What did I say wrong? Let me go!"

"You still dare to talk back!" Nagao Kelian kicked Hojo Takahiro down, and several samurai went up to capture him. The Echigo samurai in the hall seemed to realize the power of Nagao's Konoe Hagimoto, and put down their weapons It's easy to catch.

Nagao Jinghu was obviously very angry, and immediately ordered: "From today onwards, enter the main Qulun gate of Kasuga Mountain City and unload all weapons, no bows, arrows, knives or guns are allowed!"

"Yes!"

"Takahiro Hojo, pull me down!"

Hojo Takahiro struggled and shouted: "I'm not wrong! Why punish me! I don't accept it!"

"Not convinced!" Nagao Jinghu wanted to slash him to death, and cursed angrily: "Do you know who you are contradicting? The royal family of His Royal Highness, the governor of the Kamiso Ashikaga family, and the mighty His Royal Highness Takeshi! My Nagao Jing Hu’s sister-in-law! You unreasonable idiot, do you think Wuweidian has no food for disaster relief? It took several months to buy soybeans and tea seeds in Echigo to exchange for food, all of which were personally funded by Wuweidian!"

"...How did this happen?" Takahiro Hojo's face turned green and pale for a while, now not only the samurai of Kira's family were full of contempt for him, but even the people of Echigo no longer sympathized with him, and he had to make trouble for anyone. Messing with this cross-river dragon, now he is ashamed and loses his identity, so what face will he have in the future.

Just when people thought the turmoil was about to end, another person who was not willing to be lonely jumped out and shouted: "My Echigo farmers can't accept the charity from Kyoto! Let them go back to work in their own land and house our own Solve it, there is no need for nobles from Kyoto to give us alms!"

When Nagao Jinghu saw this person, he scolded with a headache: "Chiyo Inoball! Sit back for me! Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Honjo Shigeru raised his head and shouted, "Even if our Echigo samurai are out of food, it's not so bad. Everyone can still take over the victims. Why should we accept the nobles of Kyoto?" Thanks to the favor, do we have to be donated by others even for food when we become poorer? Everyone thinks what I said is right?"

"Yes! No matter how poor we are, we will not be short of this little food!" This time the crowd was excited, and no one wanted to admit that they wanted to give alms. The countryman is this kind of person.

Now even Honjo Shino, who is determined to change things, stopped talking. So far, the issue of post-disaster rescue has obviously been raised to the local and foreign level. Hastily opened his mouth. (To be continued..)
