Pillars of the Wu family

"Speaking of which, Sanada Yutaka was still begging for food under the tent of the Shinano Palace. Later, when he heard that the Takeda family was recruiting people from the country, he ignored the Shinano Palace to persuade him to stay, and left his relatives to return to Shinano. Now, seven or eight years have passed in a flash. His It’s really a happy life! This life is really unpredictable!” Speaking of Yukitaka Sanada who had a relationship with Kenshige Kobata in the past, but now he is the number one person in Shinano, no wonder he wants to envy him .

Nagano Yegu interjected stubbornly and said: "He is very proud of the spring breeze! Last year, he was thrown away by the Chibei of the Martial Palace, almost costing his life, and now the small prefecture has lost nearly [-] yuan. Half, I can only nest in the old nest and stick to it, how proud of the spring breeze!"

"Let's not talk about those..." Nagano Xianzhong smiled wryly. There was nothing he could do about this sharp-mouthed junior, so he could only guide the topic: "Let's talk about what we should do? The Hojo family is an ally and cooperates with each other. How can we wait for the Ueno people to fight against the army of several countries with the power of one country? This year’s situation is inevitable. Ye Gu said it well, beware of changes over time!"

"What should I do..." A group of Chinese held their heads and thought hard for a long time.

"Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?" Nagano Yegu sneered: "Since ancient times, the people in Ueno in the east have not been with us. How can the samurai of the West Ueno half country resist the power of Takeda and Hojo? Don't you guys?" Don't you see that there is no way out now?" [

"Seijiro..."

"Yegudian is right!" As a young man, Xiaoban Xinzhen quite agreed with his thoughts, and then said: "How long can I rely on Jiayue's tiger power to support it? what to do?"

"Boy Xinzhen, don't underestimate this old man! This old man will fight again for another ten years!" Nagano Yezheng glared at his little son-in-law.He half-closed his eyes and chanted softly.Whenever the battle is over.The Nagano Industry Association will recite softly

The young man's words hit Nagano Yezheng's heart.In the past few years, natural disasters and military disasters have continued one after another. Especially in the past two years, earthquakes, floods, droughts, locust plagues, and plagues have hit one after another, reducing the population of Ueno to 25 all the way. If this continues, there will be almost no farmers who cultivate land.

The veteran wanted to open his mouth several times and refused to speak out. Every time he went out of the city and saw ragged farmers, he would feel sad. Once upon a time, Ueno was a rich country with fertile land and stable people. There is a paradise.

Now that the war has destroyed this paradise on earth, many families have been torn apart because of the war, and they have followed the Uesugi family in Yamauchi across the Kanto for decades.He personally buried hundreds of warriors from his hometown, including uncles, fathers, and grandfathers of the warriors present here.

He is old now.No matter how brave a tiger is, there will be a day when he is too old to walk, even if he can still eat and sleep well, still has the energy to make out with his wife and have children, and he can bravely fight the enemy... But he knows that he is already old , with white beard and hair and wrinkles all over his cheeks, his strength keeps losing with time, and one day he will not be able to ride a horse, draw a bow, or even get out of bed.

"Go! Bring more samurai, the road will be safer."

Xiao Banxian said worriedly: "But they are still too young, there is a lot of chaos outside, what if..."

Nagano Yezheng was very open about it, and persuaded him: "It's not young! We are samurai who started fighting at the age of thirteen or fourteen. We have already cut off many heads at their age! Young eagles have to experience Only wind and rain can grow, let them go and let them develop freely!"

"Okay!" Xiao Ban Xianzhong was finally persuaded, turned his face and told the anxious son-in-law: "Be careful on the road, and you must obey your uncle's orders, I will send a hundred red guards to protect you .”

"Thank you, Father!" Xiao Banxinzhen cheered and expressed his gratitude.

An invasion that caused a sensation in Kanto, but Takeda and Hojo returned empty-handed. The tenacity, unity and strength shown by Nagano Yezheng and Minowa shocked the people of Kanto. The Kanto samurai praised it greatly, saying that the yellow spot in Shangzhou has the demeanor of the ancient Sakato samurai.

After autumn, Yoshitoki Kira married two daughters, Naotora Ii and Sandalwood Numata. The two girls could see or not eat. No matter how many tricks Sandalka Numata used, Yoshiki Kira did not go to her room to sleep overnight. She was so angry that she shed tears, Hu Ji will always act like the wife of the wife at this time, and comfort Numata Tanxiang not to be sad, the women of the Wu family always have to suffer and suffer.

Relying on his keen judgment of the situation and his superb skills, he temporarily suppressed Tanka Numata, who was jumping away, and cooperated with Yoshito Kira very well. The first female guardian daimyo of the Warring States period allowed him to enter and leave her room very generously. Of course, the ban is still in effect, and you can't do shameful things within three years.

When Mochizuki Chiyo found Kirayoshi pitifully, she shook his arm and said, "It's not fair! Why can both Naotora and Sandalaki be married to His Highness, why can't Chiyo, why not? Does Your Highness hate Chiyo?" gone?"

Seeing that the little girl was about to cry, Yoshitoki Kira could only express: "It's not that I hate Chiyo, it's that Chiyo is too young. You are only 12 years old this year and you can't get married! Look at Ahu, Naotora, Sandalwood They were all married at the age of 14, so wait patiently for two years, eat more, sleep more and exercise more, and grow taller!"

"Chiyonu knows! Does Your Highness like tall girls? So Chiyono will definitely work hard!" The little girl ran away in a hurry.

"Little Douding, who is less than 1.4 meters long, is really too short..." Ji Liangyi said subconsciously: "I am not a lolicon, so at least I have to grow to 1.6 meters like Ah Hu."

From the end of spring, including the whole summer, several counties in Shimoetsu have not been idle. The polders must be built in autumn and winter, and the dykes must be tamped until the land hardens in late autumn. In spring and summer, the land is soft and contains a lot of water. , If there is a little more rain, it will be useless to build dikes. Digging branch canals is also the best in autumn and winter, but there are too many things to do in autumn and winter, so they can only be arranged in spring and summer.

Hosokawa Fujitaka, as the chief executive of the project, has to go there by boat every few days to stare at it for a day or two before returning to work. Mitsui Koan was assigned to be his assistant. The young man is full of energy and has a flexible mind. Simple and honest children like this are thousands of times faster. In the words of Yoshitoki Kira, one must be smart and quick to learn in order to practice obedience. Of course, the most important thing is to be loyal and law-abiding.

In the past few years, there have been dozens of delinquents who have committed crimes. These people either embezzle some money, or frame their colleagues to harm others and benefit themselves. Several levels, starting from the bottom, and other means, will not kill or maim them but also make them feel pain.

Because the accounts of the Kira family are very clear and there are not many loopholes to exploit. It is said that it is a Western-style bookkeeping method that was acquired from the Nanban during the time of Ji Liangyi. I was caught inexplicably, and gradually many practitioners became more careful. [

Mitsui Gaoan is one of the most outstanding young practitioners. After several years of research, he has developed the ability of shorthand, coupled with his photographic memory, he can do everything faster than others. With Mitsui Gaoan as his assistant, According to the standards of the public, sort out the four levels of urgent, important, more important, and ordinary government affairs by category, which can effectively improve work efficiency.

At the end of autumn and winter, the harvest statistics of Echigo’s new year are basically completed. For the first time, the total area of ​​Echigo’s cultivated land is 200 chobu, and the total grain output has reached an astonishing [-] million shi, nearly double the total grain output of last year. Facts have proved that the new grains have doubtful high-yield characteristics, and the super-high yields have also corrected criticisms of new grains in Echigo. The yields planted in Kanto Koshin are not satisfactory, which does not mean that high-yield grains cannot be grown in Echigo .

Compared with the previous year, there are many disasters and disasters. Although this year's year is not the best time in decades, it can also be said that the weather is smooth and the countryside is peaceful. Forty or fifty rains in a year are considered standard, and the flood season has passed smoothly.

In addition to the newly developed Wuqianchobu Nitta this year, the land owned by the Kira family in Echigo exceeds 1 chobu, and the land belonging to the Nagao family exceeds 20 chobu. The two have become veritable big landlords in Echigo. There are 12 farmers farming for the two, of which [-] are local residents of Echigo, and the other [-] are refugees from Hokuriku, Kanto, and Yuao.

At present, the total arable land area of ​​Echigo is 160 chobu, of which about 10 chobu are planted with new grains. The grains produced in this part of the land account for [-]% of the total output, and [-] million shi new grains are enough for several [-] people in Echigo. After eating for two years, the joy of a good harvest hangs on everyone's face. The better the days, the better the future. (to be continued...)
